The assembly papers through
out the state nave been trying to
convince the public that the as
sembly is not backed by the
corporations. The following
headline appeared on July 15
over an article in the Evening
Telegram relative to the Multi
nomah County Assembly which
was held the next day:
ASSEMBLY TICKET IS FIXED UP"
Under this was a subhead,
saying:
Corporations Meet and Look
Over Prospective Legislative
Timber.
Under this head appeared the
following item:
The city assembly last year
which recommended Jos. Simon
for Mayor has encouraged the
politicions to try it again on a
larger scale, this time, with the
county, and next week with a
state assembly. The call issued
by the Republican County Com
mittec is for 827 delegates, but
a full attendance is not expected.
No proxies will be permitted.
These delegates were selected
at precinct meetings held July 8,
many of the delegates being
picked out bv candidates. Most
of the delegates are pledged to
one aspirant or another.
Much of the work to be done
tomorrow is all cut and dried.
(Here the Telegram published
the slate" fixed up by the
corporations, substantially as
nominated by the county as
sembly").
There was a meeting of men
representing the railroads, banks
and other interests held in the
Electric building Tuesday after
noon, at which time the legisla'
tive timber was canvassed. Sew.
eral prominent Republicans were
asked by this self-appointeo
committee to become candidates
for the Legislature, but they de-
clined with thanks. AS 7. B,
Wilcox will probably be a candi'
date for United States Senator
against Jonathan Bourne three
years hence, the senators elected
at this time will be hold-over'
and have a vote on Bourne's sue
cessor, and the candidates will
be picked with view to further
Wilcox's chances. One of th'
men who has been comforting OF
the legislative ticket explained
that unless they had a list O
names to submit to the assembl!
the members of the assembl,
would not know what to do an,
would not know who to indorse
to help the assembly the legisla
tive ticket was being prepared.

torney general eliminated the
degraded gathering of machine
politicians yesterday.
The Office of attorney general
is most important to the corpora
tions; to control this Office is
vital; SO, per the usual conyen-
ton plan, this nomination was
left until the last, SO that only
the good and true" party hacks,
who knew what was coming,
would be left to decide things.
The first vote taken showed no
majority. Hough of Southern
Oregon, an untried quantity,
having a mysterious following
that threatened Hart's success.
The second ballot showed 1887
votes, but still Hough was gain
ing and there was no majority,
something had to be done to fix
things for Hart.
City Attorney Grant was at the
tally booth, our old friend Brady
was tabulator and Senator"
Beach was Oh the job through
the hall. Every delegation voted
before Multnomah tackled the
job; then Brady whispered the
result to Beach, who circulated
with the news that a lot of votes
were needed for Hart to win;
then Multnomah delegates, like
Max C. Cohen, could be seen,
aod there are witnesses enough
to this, showing in handfuls Of
ballots marked for the state can
didate. There were about It's
Multnomah delegates present.
Some 1863 votes were publicly
counted from them.
Still there were not enough for
Brother Hart, and to gain time
the railroad attorney, Fenton,
protested against Multnomah
voting by proxy for the absent
members of the delegation with
out publicly deciding by a ma.
jority of those present how the
absent should vote. Then it was
announced that Multnomah had
cast too many votes and another
poll was taken and this time 8
large sigh of relief went up, fol
Hart had enough.
There were 1925 votes cast or
the third ballot that nominated
Hart. Remember that there
were only LOIS cast on the frs
ballot and that no delegates hac
arrived to vote in the meantime
Also remember that the big
gest vote cast was during tht
contest for governor nomination
when the full assembly wa.
present, and then but l, 2O9 vote
were polled!
The remarkable out-of-j,.int
with-the-times meeting whicl
opened yesterday to do the bid
ding of the corporations, con
tinued its session this mornin,

csedings by putting another cor

ing Mills; Guy W. Talbot, presi-
dent of the Portland Gas & Coke
Co.; C. W. Hodson, ex-state
senator: S. C. Beach, census
supervisor, and ex-state senator.
At these conferences S. G.
Beach figured as the mouthpiece
and representative of the Ore
gonian. 1t was understood that
the various interests represented
were to name the legislative
ticket and that the slate thus
named would be put through the
assembly today without serious
opposition.
The S. C. Beach named above
is the Same G. Beach who knew
the ''slate" so we'll before
Bowerman was nominated for
governor that he was able to say:
Mr.. Bowerman will get CAB
votes on the first ballot, i" and
Bowerman actually received 645.
So Beach knew that the slate
makers were not playing fair
with Andrew C. Smith, ]. H.
Ackerman and other candidates
for governor.
The Daily News of July 21
said under these headlines:
Every Political Tool Was There.
Choicest Gathering of Ma
chine Party Workers the
State Ever Saw Dumped Into
Assembly Meet Today"
If the entire state of Oregon
was raked and scraped with a
fine-toothed comb a more com.
complete and representative
crowd of machine political work
ers could not be gotten together
than is assembled today at the
armory to select candidates for
the Republican voters of the
state.
Every Republican machine boss
and party worker from the Cali
fornia line to the Columbia, and
from the Pacific Ocean to the
eastern extremes of Baker coun.
ty, is a delegate to the so-called
Republican assembly, and every
man who has a seat and avote is
there for one purpose to help
the old crowd back into power
and put the knife into the direct
primary law.
A noticeable feature of the as.
sembly, which is composed Of
about 800 men, is the absence o1
representatives of the farming
interests of the state. Less thar
a dozen men who could call them
selves tillers of the soil are il
attendance at the convention.

GOD AND GODDESS FARE
ILL AT PREFECT'S HANDS
Special Cable to The Tribune.


CANTON, Dec. PA story of the sad
experience OF Chinese deitles comes from
the town Of Chinzah. In China There
is In that town a large temple. sacred TO
q powerful god and goddess. The daugh-
ter OF n wealthy man became sick. and
II was told to the mother OF the young
lady that the god in Chinznh wished the
daughter to die that she might become
wife to him.
The mother in distress begged her hus-
band to 20 In all hste TO ChlnZah and
make an offering TO the great god. The
husband went. however. TO the prefect
and begged him to end the career OF the
god Two days later the prefect and Il
magistrate set out for ChinZah. On ar
rlving at the temple they gave orders to
drag out the god and goddess. The va
men runners. bribed by the priests, said
the gods We're too heavy to be moved.
Upon this the magistrate forthwith pro-
ceeded into the temple and himself tum-
bled the gods off their thrones. The god
was then executed with six knives" his
head being removed with two knives
and. his body ouartered with four
"knives.' The goddess WAS burned and
her ashes. together with the remains Of
the god. were thrown into a lake.
