April 23. (Spe cial.) Politics in Douglas county are taking on unusual interest this year, Ttecord of "Usurper" looked Into, by Chamberlain Faction and Speeches Made Boomerangs. Call has been issued for a special meeting of the democratic state com mittee for May 1, to elect a new state chairman. Back of the call, which was sent out by Dr. J. W. Morrow as na tional committeeman, at the request of demands from all parts of the state. Is a determination to show' the anti 1'hamberlain faction that they "can't put anything over" on the party or ganization. Fluttering across the state like a now storm, are leaflets aimed at J. D. Brown, alleged state chairman. The leaflets contain extracts of a npeech by Mr. Brown in which he at tacks President Wilson. These leaf lets are a backfire sent out by the dominant democratic faction to offset the propaganda of the anti-Chamber-Iain group. Ir. 3. Starkweather was elected date ci.7liman, but when he became a candidate for the democratic nomi nation for United States senator against George E. Chamberlain, he resigned and the executive commit tee, appointees of Mr. Starkweather, accepted his resignation and appointed J. D. Brown. It is because of this Action that the other faction have decided to take action. Resignation Held Void. According to the old-line democrats, who may be considered as straight cut Chamberlain supporters, Mr. Stark weather is still state chairman be cause he hasn't resigned to the state committee and because the so-called .resignation given to and accepted by the executive committee is null and void. . The point raised is that Mr. Stark weather has not resigned to the only body which is authorized to accept his resignation and he is therefore still chairman. Following out this line of contention, they argue that the ap pointment of Mr. Brown as state chairman is illegal and they promise to hold Mr. Brown personally ac countable for any acts he may per form whle under the delusion that he is the state chairman. What makes the regulars particu larly peevish is the pose assumed by the anti-Chamberlain people that they are the only true and loyal friends of the administration and are the Wil- on democrats of Oregon. It is the so-called Wilson faction which has declared Mr. Brown as state chair man. This being the case, the regu lars, which faction includes practi cally all of the federal office holders. are digging up the record of Mr Brown, and by comparing notes they vhave uncovered some interesting things, for instance: Mr. Brown, now declared state chair man by the self-styled Wilson demo crats, formally declared himself out or itie democratic party two years ago. on-pnrtlnan League" Aided-"1 He left the democratic party and Joined the new national party, which has apparently disappeared from the lace of the earth, leaving no trace. He championed the non-partisan league, which certainly is not the democratic party, nor the republican party. When President Wilson made his appeal to the nation to elect demo crats to congress, Mr. Brown opposed the democratic nominee from this con gressional district. On December 2, 1919, at The Dalles, in addressing the Oregon and Southern Idaho section of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union of America, Mr. Brown Is reported as assailing Mr. Wilson as a demagogue for the controlling financial institutions of the country and that Mr. Wilson was lending his support toward making this country autocratic. In the same speech Mr. Brown is quoted as asserting that both the democratic and republican parties are tools of the giant inter ests. In view of the foregoing record, members of the state committee, fed eral office holders and others are de termined that Mr. Brown shall not be recognized as the state chairman. When the state committee meets in Portland May 1, at 2 P. M., the office of state chairman will be declared va cant, if Mr. Starkweather doesn't re sign, and a new chairman will be elected, and the incumbent will not be J. D. Brown. At least, such is the present programmeand it will be car ried forward unless the enemies of Senator Chamberlain begin "boring from within." Political Notes. O. C. Leiter. campaign manager for the Hoover republican club of Ore- Kon, receivea tne iouowing telegram from John W. Hallowell of the na tional Hoover republican club: "William H. Boyd. Wood candidate for delegate-at-large of Ohio today in an effort to enlist Hoover sup porters for his candidacy, declared: Next to General Wood I know of no other man who meets the require ments of what the republican presi dential nominee should be than Her bert Hoover. I am now free as to sec ond choice. Hoover is a progressive republican; his public utterances and official acts have been such as to commend themselves strongly to me.' Walter D. Meals, Harding candidate in Cleveland, said when he had ful filled his pledge in convention, 'I Khali vote for Herbert Hoover, the great American.'" Mr. Hoover's name is not filed in Ohio. A number of campaign cards have appeared printed in foreign language, the cards calling attention to the merits of presidential aspirants, chiefly. A protest has been made by former service men against campaign ing in a foreign language. Minds of many of the candidates for legislative nominations run in the tame channel. A large number of them pledge themselves to port develop ment; increase of salaries for teachers and lowering of taxes. There is also talk of 100 per cent Americanism, but this is not defined. Being district attorney is more at tractive In Coos county than in any other, judging from the number of r-ndidates for the republican nomina tion. No less than five contenders are in the field. There is not a county in the state where democrats are con testing for the district attorney nomi nation, and in half the counties there have been no democrats file for the nomination. Rumor has It that Dairy and Food Commissioner Mickel will resign be fore his term expires and that C. L.
