East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-09-25

Buffalo, N Y, Sept. 25.-Not for
many years has the political situation
in this state been as complicated as II
is now and with the democratic state
convention meeting here today and
the republican state convention in
Saratoga, there is every reazon to be-
lieve that history will be made today.
The hall had been remodeled for
the purposes of the convention. The
seats of the 45O delegates were separ-
ated by a substantial railing from the
rest of the ground floor, parts of
which were given over to the alter
mates and the public in general. The
seats for the spectators, about 400
in number were arranged behind the
seats of the delegates, while the seats
for the members of the press were
plact right in front of the stage, be-
tween the platform and the seats of
the delegates. The galleries accom-
modated about 1000 spectators in ad-
dition. The seating accommodations
for the. press were entirely inadequate
and there were more correspondents
than seats to accommodate them.
The situation may be briefly sum-
med UP as follows: Altho there has
been some talk of several other can
didates for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, II Is generally admitted that
there are only two bona fide aspirants
for the nomination before the conven-
tion-Hearst and Jerome. Hearst,
who has already been nominated for
governor on the Independence League
ticket, lreprezents the radical element
in the party and has strong follow
ing. Not only has part of Tammany
Hall declared In his favor, but many
county delegations are either instruct
ed to vote for him, or are known to
favor his nomination. The Hearst
men are bitterly opposed by the con-
servative element, which Is particu'
larly strong In the interior towns and
country districts. Altho not many OF
the delegates are instructed outright
to vote for Mr.. Jerome, II is well un-
derstood that he will have the support
Of the conservative element, which
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-09-25

does not consider Hearst safe man
to be at the head of the state ticket.
Now, It is well known that Hearst,
as well as Jerome, is determined to
run for governor. either on the dem
ocratic ticket or on an Independent
ticket. That, naturally, complicates
the situation a great deal. If Hearst
should be nominated the Jerome fac
ton is sure to bolt and Jerome will
run as Independent candidate, as he
did at the last municipal election,
when he was elected by a good mar
GIN. If Jerome should be nominated,
Hearst will still be gubernatorial can
didate on the Independence League
ticket and the fight is bound to be a
three-cornered one.

Driscoll, the temporary chairman,
in his address reviewed the record of
the republicans, eulogized Roosevelt,
lauded Higgins and roasted Hearst.
He could not see how Hearst, who
bows to wealth, was reared in eXtrav-
agance and is consumed with vanity,
could have any fellow feeling for the
low born" He said that his wealth
and yellow journalism are his stock
in trade. "He has been working his
mud machines at 60 jackass power,
throwing filth on prominent demo-
Gratis from Maine to Texas, in hopes
to submerge his rivals and buy his
way into the White House."

prefer to see the government with
draw from the field and leave the en-
tire matter to private capital.
Regarding money for. reclamation
tion work in the future, the senator
declared that in his judgment ne
funds would be uzed for that purpose
aside from the money derived from
the sale of public lands. Consequent.
ly, he held that another project fot

ent money is exhausted it will be

first-class exhibit of Herefords by
George Linsner of Nye, Umatilla
county.
Mr.. Linsner has entered for pre-
miums only five head altho he has IL
head at the fair. This herd of cattle
is one of the finest in Umatilla county
and Mr.. Linsner is justly proud of it.
He has entered the following five
head for premiums:
British Beauty's King IL, bull, 2C
months old.
Prince Arthur, bull. IS months old

Of cows and calves which are beautiful
animals. They are all in excellent
condition altho they have been on
bunchgrass pasture all summer and
were not fed a particle of grain in
preparing them for exhibition.
Second Crop Strawberries.
Perhaps the horticultural exhibit
which is attracting the greatest at
tention at the county fair is the ex-
hibit of second crop strawberries from
the farm of John Clark at Freewater.
A crate of these berries is on exhibit
and they are large, smooth, wellfla-
vored and beautiful fruit in every way
Mr.. Clark is shipping second crop
berries constantly to Boise and Baker

at 1925 per crate. He says the Sec

With fair skies and an attendance
that surpasses even the fondest hopes,
the district fair is now upon the sec
ond day of its existence, and II the
balance of the week passes as success
fully as the first two days there can
be no complaint.
During the day yesterday there were
2261 paid admissions. which were
more than was expected, and ii is now
believed that the estimate Of 10000
paid admissions for the week will be
far exceeded. With the paid and free
admissions together, 1t is probable
that at least $500 people past thru the
doors of the big pavilion yesterday.
Irrigation Day.
This has been Irrigation Day, and
at 2:30 this afternoon a joint devel-
opment leag and irrigation meeting
was called to order inside the pavilion.
The meeting had been planned for the
Frazer theater at $50 this morning,
but when that time arrived it was de-
cided to postpone the session until this
afternoon.
Address by senator Fulton.
AT the opening of the irrigation
meeting United States Senator Charles
w. Fulton was introduCt a1d spok"
for 20 minutes regarding the recla'
nation work and the manner in which
Oregon has Jared at the hands of the
department. He declared that tho
state has not received the apportion-
ment due it in view of the amount
that ii has contributed to the recla.
nation fund, and read a statemen,
showing the amounts contributed by
the different states of the west ana
the sums that have been apportioneJ
them in return.
81 do not charge any one with bad
faith" said the senator, land it may
be that we ourselves have been to
blame for not making proper and i'm.
tClligent demands for use of money
within the state. but it is Il fact that
the state of oregon has net received
what it is entitled to from the re-
clamation fund"
