Many people made the trip into the sky yesterday (or the first time and secured a blrdseye view of Portland and surrounding country. The people on the street below look like pigmies at 2000 feet altitude, and the roofs of the buildings look as if they were all on the same level. A woman was among the first to take passage and her example stimulated many who had been timid about trust ing their feet off terra firm a.

Few saw the first ascent, but when people were attracted by the btg yellow inflated bag they made their way toward the mooring at Third and uamet streets.

Cheers and hand clapping as each dazzling float glided slowly past were almost drowned in the incessant bray of the tin horns and the clang- , ing of bells. "Serpentine" flickered out over the street in sinuoua colored threads, tangling over the decorations of the floats and piling up on the , pavement. Children along the way cast envious eyes upon some of the coils of the I "serpentine" that had failed to unravel as it was hurled through the air. At times some tiny youngster's desire for the trophy would overcome his awe of the policemen, and he would scuttle out I from the curbing, snatch up the fallen roil of colored tissue and dart back In as great a panic as though the whole police force of Portland were at his heelr. Remarks All Good-Natred. Men and women on the floats passed through a storm of good-natured re marks, shouted above the roai; of the horns and the Incessant cheering. "Smile! Smile!" bellowed the people on the curb, and the emperors and queens and their gorgeously arrayed handmaidens upon the cars graciously obeyed the commands of their ao- mtrers. As one of the cars paused for a mo ment on Morrison street, a torch- bearer set down his stock and leaned upon It wearily. Soon the parade moved forward once more. All of the torchbearers stepped briskly Into line except he of the weary attitude. He stood still, apparently lost in medita tion.

For President, William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska; for Vice-Presi dent, James A. O'Gorman. of New York The nomination of these men on the Democratic ticket is the primary pur. pose of a Bryan and O'Gorman Demo. cratic club which has been formed with headquarters at 80 Wall street. New York City. The officers or the or. ganization are: Chairman, James S. McDonogh; vice-chairman, Edward F. uacey; treasurer, J. H. Hanning; sec retary, John M. Connolly. ' Reason Are Given. This cIud is sending out literature through the mails giving its reasons why Bryan and O'Gorman should be named by the Democrats at Balti more. One of the bulletins came in yesterday's mail. It recites that in each of the campaigns of 1896, 1900 and 1908. Bryan did not have the sup port of a united party. The printed literature Is especially eulogistic of the Nebraskan, who is classed as "one of the greatest executives of the age. Bryan Is deeply appreciative of the honors bestowed upon him by the Dem ocratic party." reads the bulletin of the Bryan and O'Gorman Club. "He has repeatedly declined to allow hi name to be used as a candidate for the Presidency. He has given all am bitious candidates ample opportunity to secure delegates to the Domocratif National convention and has prohibited the entry of his name in primaries in various states. For many months Clark. Wilson, Underwood. Harmon and Mar shall have been avowed candidates and yet none of them has been able to secure a majority of the delegates. much less than the necessary two-thirds." Continuing, the authors of the bulle tin predict the "Democrats will sweep the country in November" if Bryan and O'Gorman are nominated. As, a member of the Supreme Court of the State of New Tork and present United States Senator from that state, Mr. O'Gorman is extolled as the "idol of the New Tork Democrats" and the man who. with Bryan, would receive the support "of a united party'-' and win in the November election. Oregon Backs Wilson. Just how such a combination would appeal to Oregon's delegates In the Baltimore convention is a matter for conjecture, since most of the delegates are now on their way to the conven tion city. By the Democratic vote in this state, the ten delegates from Oregon are pledged to support Governor Wilson for the Presidency as long as he has a chance. With Wilson eliminated, and it is asserted probably he will bo early in the balloting for the reason that he is far short of the necessary two-thirds vote, it is Impossible to forecast the action of the Oregon dele gation. As nearly as can be learned the ten men are about evenly divided between . Champ Clark and Bryan for second choice. From 99 Ml'LKEY'S TRIP MAKES GOSSIP Portland Man's Presence in Chicago May Portend Senatorial Wish. Frederick W. Mulkey, who managed Roosevelt's campaign In Oregon In the recent primary campaign. Is en route to Chicago and will arrive in the con tention city in time' to participate In the pre-conventloa demonstration that is planned by the supporters of the ex President for next Monday, ' the day before the convention will be called to order. The Chicago gathering will also attended by other Oregonlans than the 10 delegates. C. W. Hodson, of this city, started yesterday while L. H. Mc Mahon, of Salem, left several days ago. Although it has been known for some time that Mr. Mulkey intended to be in Chicago during the convention, the fact that he has gone is responsible for gossip in political circles, the burden of which is that the Portland man is not actuated by unselfish motives in making tbo cross-country trip at this time. Primarily. Mulkey is dearous of seeing Roosevelt nominated and will lend his efforts to insure that result. At the same time, so the rumor goes. Vi.

Such instances as those set forth in the accompanying newspaper clipping could be cited one after another in every section of the country. They illus trate most forcibly what has been accomplished by men who had practically, no advantages. That they have reaped the reward of peace, plenty and con tentment, have become independent, as it were, is told in the accompanying article, and bears out strongly the statement that "the promise of peace and plenty that is held out by the farm is a genuine promise."

In our crowded cities today are thousands upon thousands of - men of families who fret under the restraint of city employment, and who are constantly in search of something else. This great appeal for some thing else is best answered in the farm and orchard home. We believe we have just the very best kind of a proposition for the home seeker. It's a tract of say ten, fifteen or twenty acres or more down at So low are the prices and so easy are the terms that you can become an owner of a tract of this rich farm and orchard land right away. The majority of those who have purchased tracts from ' us are wage-earners who, realizing that no great financial reward was to be gained in their struggle in the city, have answered the call of the country, knowing that peace, happi ness and contentment await those who are willing to work with their brains and hands and meet nature at least halfway. COLUMBIA ACRES possesses those advantages and facilities that mean most to the liome-maker accessibility, good roads, ideal location, rich soil, fine water, plenty of fuel, splendid homesites, easily cleared, school, church, progressive neighbors. Considering all these, and the transportation facilities by rail and water, and the price and terms, we say that you cannot do as well elsewhere.

Based on the same prevailing gossip. there is a strong suspicion that Mulkey has Senatorial aspirations which he will test out with the Republican vot ers of tho state as Judges two years hence. Naturally, he Is anxious to be the man "next the throne" to the exclu sion of Bourne and all others who may be nursing a fond desire to succeed Senator Chamberlain in lis, lor tne impetus that position would be in his candidacy. In presenting the claim or aiuiKey to first place in the favor of Roosevelt. his friends refer to the fact that it was under the management of Mulkey that the ex-President received a plurality exceeding $000 in this state in the April primary election. But Mulkey's friends do not stop there. They are charging that in the recent primary election in Oregon, Bourne's real choice for the Presidency was La Follette and not Roosevelt. In support of this contention, they point to the fact that La Follette in his Portland address prior to the elec tion, gave an unqualified and enthusi astic indorsement of Bourne, then a candidate' for renomlnatlon, and unre servedly declared that Bourne should be returned to Washington. Mulkey's friends, in further corroboration of their charge that Bourne was lined up with La Follette in the Oregon election, assert that they have the knowledge that when La Follette entered the state and delivered his initial address at Pendleton, the home town of Stephen A. Lowell, candidate for United States Senator, Lowell, who presided at the La Follette meeting, solicited the Indorsement- of the Wisconsin man and re ceived & cold turndown. In refusing to commend the candidacy of Lowell to the voters In his Pendleton and sub sequent addresses throughout Western Oregon, where it would have done Lowell the most good, La Follette sim ply explained that he- "bad to do some thing for Bourne." These facts will be capitalized by the friends of Mulkey, if necessary, to intrench him strongly in the favor of Roosevelt. At any rate, they will strive to keep Bourne as far away from the OREGON GRAND LODGE OF MASONS CONCLUDES SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION.
