MULTNOMAH FIELD IS NOT

If the corporation which staged the
Rodeo in Los Angeles during the win

month as the directors have been
contemplating, they will have to stage

stating that the Multnomah Amateur

1t has been known for some time
that negotiations between the Rodeo

OrOzcO Nav Surrender.

Mexico City, June 26.-An uncon-
firmed report was herd that Orozco,
rebel leader, had communicated to
President Madero his willingness tc
surrender and asked for terms for
himself and men. 1t is believed the
subject was discussed at a cabinet
meeting yesterday. With this report
came the news from a source hereto
fore dependable. that amnesty with
out reservation is to be extended to all
political offenders. Orozco and his
chiefs, Vasquez, Gomez, Bernardo,
Rees and scores of others in custody
and at large would profit by the
measure. A proclamation is to be
issued by the federal forces who are
in possession of the city of Chihua-
hua calling upon all citizens to sur
render their arms and renew their
allegiance to the central government
under a sweeping promise of pardon.

BIG PARADE TO BE
FEATURE on FRIDAY

All the beauty that was Greece and
all the grandeur that was Rome and
all the spectacular that was the
Roundup plus a few other elements
will go toward making up the big
Elks' parade which Will open the
Friday festivities. Fred Earle, to
whom was committed the task or
preparing the pageant, has had a
corps of workers together all week
and without noise and ostentation,
they have accomplished wonders. The
noise and ostentation will come when
the parade forms.
All week Doc Lytle and Jack Vim
cent have been busy with brush and
paint pot and, in consequence, circus
wagons, more lurid and more gaudy'
have been prepared. One glance at
their achievements, which glance is
denied to all but chosen few until
the time of the parade, and there is
positive assurance that said parade
is no fake. 1t will make the Round
Up look to its honors and this is say
ing something strong.
Chairman Earle extends an invita-
ton to all cowboys and cowgirls to
participate in the parade and notifies
such as intend to accept to be on west
Alta street shortly after noon Fri
day.
Two separate and distinct perform
ances will be given Friday. The eve
ming program will be entirely differ
ent from that of the day with the eX-
ception of the races, which will be
the finals of the afternoon contests
The night will be turned into day by
forty arc lights and big searchlight
such as Uncle Sam illumines the wa
ter from his warships, Entries for
all events will close tomorrow evening
at o'clock.

Baltimore, June 26-There is
much quiet consideration by the DEM
ocratic leaders here of available tim
ber for the vice presidency. While
admitting that geographical condi-
tions would control and that final Sc
lection would not be possible until
after the head of the ticket had been
decided upon. the claims of the va
rious candidates were discussed by
the men who will have the task of
eciding who is the most available cam
didate.
If Bryan should he nominated for
president the general impression was
that he would prevail upon Governor
Wilson of New Jersey to be his run
ming mate, though Wilson has told his
friends that under no circumstances
would he accept second place.
There was we'll defined boom in
certain circles for Senator O'Gor-

Baltimore, Nd, June ga bitter
factional fight developed today at the
meeting of the credentials committee
considering the contested seats in
the Hearst Harrison and Sullivan fac
tions of Illinois. Each side charged
the other with attempts to pack
the Cook county convention. OF the
81 seats contested, the delegates are
pledged to Clark.
The convention was called to order
by temporary Chairman Parker. The
committee on permanent organiza-
ton voted to make Senator elect
James of Kentucky, permanent chair
man.
AS the resolution committee could
not report until night, the motion
that when recess is taken it be until
S o'clock tonight, was carried.
In the meantime, speeches were
made, Governor Folk of Missouri, be-
ing the first orator Senator Raynor
of Maryland follwed with a campaign
speech
Pleads for Progressives.
Folk declared that Roosevelt, who
did most to elect Taft" now admits
he made a mistake in aiding to de-
feat Bryan. Senator Rayner began
by saying that three parties will be
in the field this fall. He said. THE
motto of the republican party head
ed by Taft is, We shall react and re-
trograde.' The motto of the new par
ty soon to be formed, is Thou shalt
not steal. The motto for the demo-
Gratis is, We shall progress.
With great eloquence Rayner plead
ed for progressive candidates and a
progressive platform.
Renator Rayner was followed by
Representative Clayton of Alabama.
Representative Clayton was follow
ed by Thomas P. Riley, state chair
man of Massachusetts,, then came Sem
ator Gore of Oklahoma, the blind
statesman. He urged the democrats
to work In harmony, declaring the
only thing that could prevent their
victory would be discord He referred
to Roosevelt as having unsuccessfully
Tried to breathe life into the varified
republican party"
John Temple Graves also spoke for
harmony. Former Governor Camp
bell of Maryland, declared that both
branches of the republican party are
dead. The one led by Taft is "com-
posed of camp followers and the 9TH
er is led by a self sufficient egtist"
Sullivan district delegates from Illi-
nois. All the seated Sullivan dele
gates at large as well as the Hearst
and Harrison delegates are instruct
ed for Clark.

y The rules committee agreed to rec
ommend Bryan's plan to the nation
al convention tonight in accordance
with the request of the resolutions
committee. The effect of this is that
If conservative is nominated he will
have to run on the declaration of rad
ical principles.
Tammany Halls Platform.
Following caucus of the New
York delegation, the platform sane
toned by Charles F. Murphy of Tam
many hall, was ordered sent to the
resolutions committee of the national
convention with the request that the
national platform conform as closely
as possible to the New York declara-
tions.
The New York draft declares for
tariff reform, denounces Taft for We
toing the democratic tariff bill. de-
clares for states rights pledges a
rigid enforcement of the antitrust
laws, denounces the central bank sys-
TEN, endorses the income tax and
popular election of United States sem
ators.
A six year term for president with
prohibition against reelection is de-
manded.
1t is considered certain that the
recommendation of the rules COM
mittee in regard to the consideration
of the platform after and not before
the nomination of candidates will be
adopted by the convention.
Victory for Harmon EorcaS
The Harmon forces won a victory
in the rules committee when that
body decided that the unit rule for
instructing of the delegation to vote
for Harmon had been forced. The
members who voted favoring abro-
cation of this rule in Ohio will pre-
sent the minority report, thus insur-
ing a fight on the convention floor
tonight.
The keynote speech of James is ex-
pected to be strongly progressive.
Though instructed for Clark he is
one of Bryan's closest friends. Bryan
repulsed the Murphy -Taggart-Sul
van attempt to mollify him and re-
fused the election as chairman of the
resolutions committee. He also made
it plain that unless an out and out
progressive platform is adopted. he
will return the minority report car
rying the fight to the floor of the
convention and even to the voters OF
the country If forced to do so. The
credentials committee being unable

Bryan, in refusing the profferedC
chairmanship, made 1t plain that he
feared the committee had been pack
ed against him. He said: $50 far

Leaders Disconnected.
Leaders of the party are plainly
disconnected by the action of Mr..
Bryan. This was later changed to a
feeling of chagrin when Bryan told
his lieutenant, Senator Luke Lea oil
Tennessee that he had erefused the
honor because he intended to "play
national and not ward politics"
BY a vote of Al to IL a motion by
Bryan to adopt the platform after
