THE MORNING ORECOXIAX, MONDAY, APR, IX KENTUCKY KL1CK SPLIT ON SENATOR Factions Start Contest Onset of Gathering. COMPLETE TICKET CHOSEN Vice-Presidential Victory for Will iam T. Vaughn Predicted by Judge Oglcsby Young. Wilson and Chamberlain democrats Btagcd a torrid political battle to a draw at the annual nominating con vention of the Kentucky Klick. held Saturday night at the Mulky building. When the smoke and gas barrage was lifted at the close of the meet ing. It was found that neither George E. Chamberlain nor Harvey G. Stark weather had won the Klick indorse ment for the democratic senatorial nomination, so. in the interest of inter party harmony, both names were placed on the ticket selected by the Klick. The bitter fight for the Klick in dorsement was started by the oppos ing Chamberlain and Starkweather forces at the outset of the meeting and was continued until the bitter end. Major Hopkins of Newport placed Mr. Starkweather in nomination for the organization's indorsement. "The man I present to you for the nomination for United States senator is a Wilson democrat who is for the league of nations and world peace and opposed to compulsory military train ing." said the major in presenting his candidate to the convention. "And It nominated he will be elected by the largest majority ever given a demo crat in Oregon. His name is Harvey G. Starkwater of Clackamas coun ty." (Applause). L,. M. Travis Puts Up Chamberlain. Lee M. Travis of Eugene, on be half of Oswald West, ex-governor, presented the name of Senator Cham berlain for the Klick Indorsement. "On behalf of my bosam friend, 'Os.' West, who was born and bred in. the dominion of Canada and is by reason thereof ineligible to membership in this opaque and esoteric organization, I therefore in his stead and behalf nominate George K. Chamberlain, in cumbent, to succeed himself as United States senator for Oregon," said Mr. Travis. "In doing this on Dehalf of my old friend, 'Os' West, I pronounce Senator Chamberlain a dyed-in-the-wool bour bonlan democrat." (Continued ap plause.) 13 Ballot Knd In Tie. When nominations were closed, 13 consecutive ballots were taken, each resulting in a tie vote for the two candidates. T. G. Thornton and lid ward A. McPherson. Chamberlain fol lowers, demanded the president cast the deciding vote, which he refusei to do. Thereupon, Major Hopkins, In tho role of peacemaker, moved that both candidates be placed on the Kentucky Klick ticket, and this yug gestion was adopted. William T. Vaughn, a charter fcnem ber of the Klick. was nominred for vice-president of the Unite States by Judge Oglesby Young, who pre sented his selection with these words: "The man whose name I. have the pleasure . of presenting to this con vention for the vice-presidential nom ination is too well known to need introduction to the delegates here as sembled. He has ever been a .stead fast advocate of democratic princi ples and his name is William T. Vaughn. Vinchn of Southern Blood. "Mr. Vaughn is of pure southern extraction; his forebears settled in the wilds of Tennessee when that land was the hunting ground of the Chick asaws, Choctaws. Shawnees and the Six Nations, and known as 'Frank land.' "Mr. Vaughn's people were the true pioneers of lennessee. and long be fore the wai operations of the gulf region by General Andrew Jackson, who drove the barbaric Seminoles through the malarial everglades of Klorida, the- stern wilderness of the valley of the Cumberland and the baffling jungle of the -Appalachians were trodden by the wary feet of his maternal ancestry. Theirs was the first flint-locks to flash the fire of death in warning to the autochthonous Indian of the coming of the white man. (Loud applause.) Vaughn Victory Predicted. "If nominated and elected here to night, Mr. Vaughn will upon the first ballot taken at the San Francisco convention carry Oregon and Wash ington. On the second ballot he will sweep every state from the Rockies to the Pacific, and upon the third call of delegates a solid south will be his, and upon the fourth ballot he will be acclaimed the vice-presidential nominee of the democratic party for 1920." (Great and continued ap plause.) Indorsement of Richard W. Mon tague for the democratic congres sional nomination for this district was an unexpected blow to the sup porters of both Dr. Esther Pohl Love Joy and Mrs. Alexander Thompson, but a majority sentiment of the con vention was against the indorsement of any woman for any public office Here Is the complete democratic ticket, from president to constable, as selected by the Kentucky Klick: President William Gibbs McAdoo, New Tork city.

"The Silver Horde," now in its second week showing at the Majestic theater. It will be followed by" Mack Sennett's latest five-reel comedy, "Down on the Farm," Teaturing Loirise Fazonda. "The Silver Horde" shows Alaska during the early 'days, presumably in '98, when Rex Beach, its author, was among the miners who thronged the gold-shot beach. Its story, however, is not concerned with the search for gold, but of the rivaling asset, fish. It shows the salmon run, and these scenes are. particularly interesting this veek, when Portlands own stream, the Sandy, is teeming with smelt. More interesting than the physical and natural resources of Alaska de picted in "The Silver Horde." is the delineation of character for which the other serves as a rich and mas sive background. The hardiness, de termination of fair-playing pioneers in contrast to scheming, bribing ways of certain eastern concerns where honesty is more or less important. conspicuous in the theme of the story.

APPLES SHIPPED QUICKLY Lifting of Embargo at Hood River Causes Clearance Hastening. HOOD RIVER. Or., April 25. (Spe cial.) The Apple Growers' associa tion is hastening shipments of stored stocks of Newtowns following lifting of the embargo on freight placed as result of the - switchmen's strikes. terested cerns. in Seattle theatrical con- Will S. Hudson. Pathe camera man with headquarters in Seattle, was one of the first to hear of the smelt run in the Sandy. He immediately wired making- arrangements to come down here and photograph the annual oc currence. These pictures will be shown throughout the United States and in foreign countries under the title of Portland, Or. The most pretentious mansion in Pasadena, the home of millionaires, was used as location for an entire week for Harry Carey's current photodrama, "Crossed Claims." "After noon tea stuff"- is out. of Carey's reg ular line of work, but this play will remind theater-goers that Harry Carey was a successful stage actor long before he became a cowboy. The drift of the times in almost all lines of industry is toward aggrega tion in production, but in the motion picture field an evolution is taking place in a directly opposite course. This was the consensus of opinion ar rived at at a gathering of film stars and producers in Los Angeles the other day. J. D. Williams, president of the First National Kxhibitors' cir cuit, was the principal speaker. The essence of Mr. Williams' address was that not only would the best pictures of the future be made by giving long er time to their production, but that they would come not from the great studios but from the small ones. Any tendency toward the "factory sys tem." Mr. Williams believed, could only result in a mechanical sort of output. The title of the next comedy in which Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis will play the leading roles is to be called "High and Dry." The plot, if it may be called a plot, hangs heavily upon the question. "When is grapejuice no longer grapejuice?" Fritzie Brunette, leading lady for J. Warren Kerrigan In his last seven releases, has gone to Barstow to do location work for "The Coast of Op portunity," the latest Kerrigan pro duction. Charles Ray's dog Whiskers held up the work at the Ray studio for a few hours while he was taken to the dog hospital. Something was said to have gottea into his ear. Whether it was a flea or a rumor of the size of his master's new income has not been ascertained. Whatever .it was, Whiskers became horribly tempera mental for a few moments. The fact that Bessie Love was born in Midland, Tex., and that her first independent production is "The Mid landers." from the novel by Charles Tenney Jackson, gives the coinci dence a peculiar interest. Since the embargo lifted last Tues day 22 cars of fruit have been shipped. The remaining 100 cars held here will go out in the next two weeks, and warehouses will be made ready for shipment of the season's strawberry crop, which probably will reach 115 cars this year. Strawberries have begun to bloom on the lower levels. CARD OF THANKS. I wish to sincerely thank all friends for their loving sympathy extended to me in the loss of my beloved wife. Adv.

IMIfT LESS TAX FOR POOR THAN RICH IS URGED Redistribution of Burden Favored by M'Adoo. Is CLASSIFICATION IS" PLAN Ex-Secretary Says Those Who LiTe in Idleness Should Pay Store Than Workmen. WASHINGTON. April 23. Ex-Secretary McAdoo. replying as a "private citizen" to the questionnaires issued to all candidates for presidential nomi nations by the National Board of Farm organizations tonight, outlined his position on various propositions being agitated in the pre-convention campaign. Present tax laws. Mr. McAdoo de clared, should be simplified and the burden of taxation redistributed so that the men who earn theirincomes by the sweat of their brows and with their brains, should not be required to pay as heavy taxes as those who live in idleness and draw incomes from safe investments. "A distinction should be made," said he, "between earned and unearned incomes." He .declared himself op posed to all tax-free bonds. If. after a two-year period of private ownership, the railroads failed to function properly, Mr. McAdoo said, he would favor reopening the railroad question. He declared for a "fair trial" of the new railroad law, but declared it "cannot settle the railroad problem because it does not reach fundamentals." Mr. McAdoo declared himself for broader publicity for operations of the farm loan system; for means to bring producers and consumers closer; for representation of agricuN ture on boards and commissions "when bonsistent with puiblic wel fare": for a secretary of agriculture who "understands actual farm condi tions'; for reduction of farm tenancy; for the same service and supplies for farmers' organizations in interstate commerce as apply to private enter prises in the same circumstances; for regulation of monopolistic control of corporations in interstate commerce and as "absolutely opposed to any abridgment of the right of free speech, free press or free assembly.'
