The Democrats regard the outlook for the success of their party In Kansae this year as unusually bright, and the convention promises to be an enthusiastic and harmonious gathering. The work cf the convention will be confined to the election of dele- gates-aUlarge to the Baltimore con vention and the selection of a na tional committeeman. The predominance of Clark wen* tlmsnt Is so marked that it Is not believed the Wilson adherents will attempt seriously to prevent the In dorsement of the Missourian. The indications are that the name of no other aspirant for the Democratic presidential nomination will mentioned.

HUDSON SAVANNAH WANTS ANOTHER NEW HOTEL Evidence Indicates Greater Part of Names to Petition Secured by Fraud. Salem, Ore., March 14.—Argu. meat© were 'heard today before the Stat© supreme court in the Universi ty of Oregon referendum case—a can© which Involves alleged fraude under the referendum phase of tho “Oregon system.” Before the law appropriating 6503,000 for buildings and extension^ of th© University of Oregon at EujfiPe went lhto effect, petitions asking a referendum on th© bills were filed with th© Secretary of State. Examination ot the peti* tion© by friends of the University Is raid to hav© disclose^ fraude and Irregularities sufficient to justify a suit, to enjoin th© Secretary of 8tat* from putting the Question on th© 'bal lot for next November. Evidence Introduced In the trial of th* injunction suit in the circuit court Indicated that th© greater part of the 13,000 names on the petitions were secured by paid cir culators at a few cents per name, and that in the case of seven circu lators gross fraude were charged. Two lists of names were secured, le alleged, by hanging tho peti- tlohs In a saloon In Astoria, and an other list ’ of 100 names from, the Unites Is said to have contained the names of men dead for years. Evi dence was so conclusive that the de fenders of the petitions lmd to ad mit that 3,778 names were fraud ulent, being forged, and in* addition ©ora© 4,524 names were presented In a form of declared void by a prev ious decision of th© State supreme court. Elimination of these names brought the number of unattacked names below th© limit required to cnll a referendum. The secretary of 8tate, however, contends through counsel that a part of th© 4,525 names should bo considered good— enough of the*© being claimed to in sure the referendum. The University won its case In the circuit court, the Judge scoring many of the signatures, brief $led an appeal, th© University contends that even the names un- assaltod by direct evidence should be looked upon with suspicion be cause ot fraude admitted on the re mainder .of the petition.
