The best evidence of the strength ot Leonard Wood is the attacke nftide upon him by the democratic press. The democrats always attack the strongest republican candidate. With tbese-statements Montaville Flowers, author and lecturer and life-long friend of William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, launched his ad dress in the Grand theater here to night, in which he lauded Mr. Wood as a man thoroughly American, a person of wide experience in world affairs and . the candidate best qualified to occupy the position of president of the United States. "Leonard Wood Is so deeply born an American that he can be nothing else," declared Mr. Flowers, "eight of his ancestors having come to the United States in tna Mayflower. He is a Roosevelt-American and nation alist. eLonard Wood has seen 25 years- of unbroken Bervlce for his country. He has been officially in all parts of America and knows the peo ple's Interests. He has been the con fidant of three presidents and In an official capacity has visited all the continents In behalfof his native land. He has done more real business than all the presidents combined and is recognized as the greatest peace maker of American history. Record Shows Foresight. "Foresight Is the token of states manship, and Leonard Wood's career is brilliant with evidence of this trait. He makes a straight path and never falters in the hour of emer gency. He is right on capital, right on labor,. right on the farmers, right on the league of nations and occu pies the most judicial position among all the interests, and can give every body a square deal. "Herbert Hoover's practical with drawal from the campaign in Oregon has greatly strengthened Mr. Wood's -position, because of the candidates remaining in the field, he is the logi cal aspirant for the Hoover admirers to support. "Leonard Wood's campaign has not attacked the character or the ability of any other candidate. Money Charges Refuted. "The people know Leonard Wood as honest and efficient, and in spite of all the trumped-up stories of money spending and militarism created by the democratic press he will come out of the campaign as 'clean as hound's tooth,' to use a Rooseveltian expression. - Yesterday Mr. Flowers occupied the pulpit of a local church, while this morning he gave his lecture, "The Soul of America," before the stu dents of Willamette university. At noon he' spoke on "Mexico" at the weekly luncheon of the Salem busi ness men. In these addresses ne never once referred to politics, save for the slight intimation that the present administration had failed to make good and that a change of gov ernmental principals would be wel comed.

Convention Call at Issue. The contest of the King county dele gation, according to statements of representatives of the contesting dele gation, was based on the alleged re fusal of County Chairman Charles D. Fullen to call the county convention to order at the hour named in the call of the convention. The contesting element thereupon, according to the statement of their representatives. called the convention to order, adopted a platform and elected delegates to the state convention. The "regular" delegation contended that the delay in calling the conven tion to order was due to the fact that some of the democrats in attendance had not yet been registered, as pro vided In the call, and that when the convention would have been called to order, the confusion resulting from the rival convention was so great as to prevent it. The contestants, on the other hand, charged that whatever contusion there may have been was caused by the "regulars" themselves. In an effort to prevent the consum mation of their proceedings. Service Men Lou Flgkt. King county service men lost their fight before the credentials commit tee of the democratic state convention tonight; when the committee voted to seat the Todd-Fullen delegation and unseat the Keagan-Chadwick faction j.ne seating or the "regulars as the delegation is termed is Vi victory for the Christensen-Titlow faction in the state committee and assures them that control of the convention which now meets for the transaction of business for which it was called at 7,:30 o'clock tonight. Voting against seating the King county delegation were the following counties: Clallam, Columbia, Douglas, Garfield, Island, Jefferson, Kittitas, Lincoln, San Juan Skagit, Snohomish, Spokane, Stevens and Walla Walla. Organization Gets 801 Votes. The King county delegation gives the state organization forces SOI votes in the convention, as against 367 for the other wing, not including the Pierce county delegation with 101 votes. Roscoe Drumheller, collector of cus toms, who. with David J. Williams, collector of internal revenue, has led the fight on the Fullen-Todd-Chris-tensen-Titlow forces in the state, was not able to influence the Spokane and walia walla delegations in be half of the Reagan-Chadwlck dele gation, of which he was a member. Although there axe numerous Drum- hellers on these two big eastern Washington delegations, all of Ros- coe's brothers, cousins rand uncles voted to send him home, along with the other delegation, as a disciplln ary measure and a warning to King county to behave in the future. Seating the "regulars" in King county does not remove the las obstacle to the re-election of A. R. Titlow as national committeeman by any means. The Spokane delegation swears that it will never support Titlow; even the southwest is rum bling, although it did agree in caucus to support either Christensen or Tit low. Cnlt R.nle Is Donbted. If the convention gets half a chance to vote its sentiments on national committeeman, and the spirit of re venge does not wholly actuate the organization forces in administering a rebuke to David J. Williams, George F.-Christensen or Charles D. Fullen will be the next democratic national committeeman. Christensen is bound to follow only by ties of friendship and not by convention In structions or obligations of any kind, and he is insisting on the re-election of the incumbent committeeman. It is not believed that the Spokane delegation will be bound by the unit rule in. the convention. H. D. Merritt, state committeeman and member of REPUBLICAN SEEKS ELEC TION TO NATIONAL CONVENTION. : ' ' - J ' ' Conrad P- Olsoau ' Conrad P. Olson, one of the candidates for delegate to the republican convention, has al ways taken an active Interest in the republican party. He was a member of the 1913 and 191S legislatures 'and in 1917 served in the senate, being chairman of the committee which fath ered the present road pro gramme. In 1918 he served on the supreme bench and was later appointed by the supreme court to compile a new code of the state laws. He is also en gaged in practicing law as sen ior member of the firm of Olson, Dewart & Bain. dlers' bonus bill will be indorsed; Carlyon's road law becomes a politi cal issue in this convention, because the platform will denounce it. Pro hibition will probably be indorsed. There is a plank oh profiteering and a demand for the enactment of state and federal laws to provide adequate punishment for such malefactors. Or ganized labor is to receive special recognition, and the usual assaults will be made on the republican congress. RECORD FLIGHT PLANNED Canada to Stockton' Run in 7 'A - Roars Proposed.

Thin blood, or anemia, produces so many dis tressing symptoms that the real cause is often overlooked and valuable time is spent in trying to treat the symptoms. If you have headaches, nervous spells, indigestion, a pale complexion, insomnia or heart palpitation begin treatment at once with the tonic which Mrs. Alma Nelson, who lives at 1161 Lincoln avenue, Ogden, Utah, here recommends. She says: "I was so ill that I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The least excitement upset me and I trem bled for hours. My stomach was so weak that I suffered frequently from indigestion. I also had a fluttering) of the heart and filled up at times and choked. My blood was very thin and I had headaches. "I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills several years ago with benefit and so I decided to try them again. In a few days after I began taking the pills I felt a little stronger and kept on with them. andVinally recovered my strength. I am no longer nervous and the headaches and indigestion have disappeared. I am sure that if peo ple who need a tonic will try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills they will be helped." A valuable booklet. "Building Up the Blood." will be sent free upon re quest. Dr. illiams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, Is. Y.

Koser, assistant secretary of state, declare is the big gest Job that has marked his career since he first became identified with the state administration many years ago. "But I guess there is no use for me to make any complaint," 6aid Mr. Kozen today.

Because of the threatened exodus of girls in the automobile depart ment and the impending registration of motor vehicle drivers early July. Mr. Kozer already has let the word go out that there will be number of positions to be filled. To forego future emergencies such as exist now, it may be that beauty will prove a barrier rather than a recom mendation for employment.
