THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTXAXD. DECEMBER 7, 1919 13 SEVERAL ASPIRE TO L CO ULI.H PRESIDENCY R.W. Ritner and W.W. Banks Want to Handle Gavel. RACE CAUSES COOLNESS Others Are Sizing Tp Situation, AI though Many Members Will , Have to Be Elected First. : Here it is 13 months before the next session of the legislature and already there is a fight brewing: for president of . the state senate, not withstanding that some 16 members will hare to be nominated and elected before a, candidate for the presidency can control enough voteB to land that place. There are now in the field four tentative aspirants for the presidency and possibly one or two more who have a similar ambition. For several days Roy TV. Ritner, a hold-over member of the senate, has been in Portland looking after the construction of his political fences and stretching his wires to further his cause, for Senator Ritner is a sure enough candidate. Senator Ritner, whose district is Umatilla county, has expectations of holding the eastern Oregon senatorial votes, and he fig ures that he has a few votes sewed up tight in the Willamette valley. HItner and Ranki Lead. It appears that Senator Ritner does not feel kindly toward some of his erstwhile colleagues in the senate, meaning specif ically Senator W. W. Banks of Multnomah county. The Rit ner boom had its inception one night in Salem during the 1919 . session. Someone suggested that he be a can didate for president in 1921 and he received tenderB of support on the spot. It is said that Senator Banks was among those present who offered to aid the Ritner cause. Later, it is paid. Senator Ritner wrote a letter or two to Senator Banks on the sub ject and received satisfactory replies. When Senator Ritner had finished his harvesting and attended to his other matters on the ranch he turned his attention to the presidential sit uation. It is said that he then dis covered that Senator Banks had be come a candidate for president of the senate and had completely forgotten the alleged promise to support the Umatilla senator. In short. Senator Ritner has let it become known that he considers Sen ator Banks has double-crossed him. This is said to distress him particu larly because Senator Banks and some of the lattcr's friends got him into the notion of running. Valley Senators Supporting;. To strengthen his line-up. Senator Ritner is said to have secured prom ise of support from several senators in the Willamette valley and has put himself Into pretty good shape. He does not say how many votes he has as he does not wish to tip his hand. It Is understood, however, that Sena tor Ritner had been expecting sup port from Senator I. I. Patterson of Polk county, but Senator Patterson is .doing a little calculating himself and is hopeful that he may land the presi dency. Not only are Senators Ritner and Patterson in the race, but there is also Senator Louis Lachmund of Marion county. Senator Lachmund has confided to friends that he would not object to presiding over the de liberations of the upper house. If it came to a showdown between Ritner and Patterson there is a rumor that Lachmund would, in the event of his own cause being hopeless, throw his vote to the candidate from Umatilla rather than to the senator from Polk, across the river from Marion county. Senator Eddy of rouglas would not be averse to being the presiding officer, nor Senator A. L. Norblad of Clatsop, and there are probably others who would jump in If the situation, looked right. Others Also May Hun. Then, too, after the primaries, there will be prospective senators who will have something' to say about the presidency, and it is in the cards that aome one of them may even asrire to the big chair. This Is espscially true of several whose terms have ex pired and who will be candidates for re-election. Grant Dimick and Chris Scheubel are sparring for the unexpired term of the late Senator Walter Dlmick of Clackamas county. George C. Brownell, who was considering enter ing this contest, will run for the lower house. To succeed Senator Shanks of Gilliam, O. B. Robertson will be a candidate. Mr. Robertson has practically made up his mind to enter the primaries. There is noth ing to the rumor that I. X. Day will run for the senate from Multnomah. authority for this being Senator Day himself. He says he hasn't the time nor the inclination to spend 18 or 20 hours a day trying to legislate, to say nothing of preparing himself for a session a couple of months in ad vance. Senator S. B. Huston, whose term has expired, may or may not be a candidate for re-election. Senator Huston says he has not made up his mind, but Is inclined to think he won't run. AVunien to Help Wood. Women are going to be a strong factor in the fisht to carry the Ore gon presidential primaries next May for General Wood, according to C. H. Weston, president . of the General Leonard Wood Republican club of Oregon. Discussing this phase of the. campaign yesterday, ISt. Weston said: "All women who are affiliated with the republican party are cordially in vited to join Wood clubs, but In addi tion to this we Intend to make their responsibilities probably just a trifle greater than those of their political brothers. We are going to s"ive them a res hand evwy whwc among their political sis ters .through the medium of a state-wide movement exclusively for women. This organization will -have. Its own central body in Portland, and will be in the nature of a woman's auxiliary. Whenever a Wood club is formed, there also will be a wo man's auxiliary, and by this means we hope to develop the full- Wood strength of the state and co-ordin&t the work of the general campaign.. President Weston said the Wood club planned to fire the opening gun of the Oregon campaign at a big din ner some evening this week, and that immediately -following this" event Dow V. Walker, manager of the state cam paign, would take the field to organ ize clubs outside, while prominent wo men would start the work of forming auxiliaries. Mr, Weston and Man ager Walker hope to have the state thoroughly organized within the next month, and they will follow an in tensive campaign to win the Oregon delegation to the national convention for General Wood. . CONVENTION PUNS BOOM TRAVELERS PROTECTIVE MEX TO COME IX SPECIAL TRAIN. Manufacturing .Firms : Throughout Country Enter . Floats lor . Portland Parade. First reservations for the national convention of the Travelers' Pro tective association in Portland next June have been received from the Texas division. "We are coming in a special train," is the word received from Divisional Secretary F. N. Pal mer of Dallas, Texas, by local head quarters. ''Reserve 180- hotel rooms for this delegation. More reserva tions may be requested later." National Secretary T. S. Logan of the organization's permanent head quarters at St. Louis, has sent word to Portland that South Carolina in tends to send a delegation to the 1920 convention that will far exceed any delegation that state has sent to any of the 30 prior conventions. This is due. according to Mr. Logan, to the fact that many of the traveling men of South Carolina are Shriners and intend to "double shoot the turn" by attending the T. P. A. convention and then remaining in Portland for the national Shrine convention which follows it. "Arrangements are already under way for the national industrial pa rade, one of the high lights of the T. P. A. convention programme," is the statement of Frank Coffinberry of the local convention offices in the Morgan building. "Manufacturing firms all over the country, who are sending their travel ing men to the convention, are also entering floats in the great parade to advertise their products: "The floats are all to be designed by Portland artists, and constructed in this city from general plans fur nished by the factories represented." FILM TO SHOW , HAZARD Prevention of Grain Dust Explo sion to Be Demonstrated. Dr. H. H. Brown of the United States bureau of chemistry, will deliver an address on the prevention of grain dust explosions at the Multnomah hotel in the peacock room tomorrow at 10:30 A. M. Something decidedly new and thrill ing in the way of movie films depict ing a large demonstration explosion will be shown at these meetings. A demonstration explosion was staged for this movie picture which proved so unexpected violent that it partly wrecked the steel cylinder 225 feet long in which the dust was touched off and almost put the movie camera man out of commission. In addition to Dr. Brown's address and the movie film, one of the speak ers will give an. actual demonstration by setting off a small quantity of grain dust in a portable model of a grain elevator. - CHRISTMAS BUYING HEAVY Useful Gifts Preferred by Most of Holiday Shoppers. ROSEBCRG, Or., Dec. 6. (Special.) The "shop early" slogan is being well-observed by Christmas buyers in this city, according to the statement madu by a number of local merchants. Already the rush is on and the large assortment -of goods in the stores has been greatly depleted. It is also ob served that the class of gifts selected this year is highef than in former years, and also that useful gifts are preferred. Roseburg firms were successful in receiving the major portion of their early orders, and although the short age of cars has delayed deliveries in many cases, yet there is a much better showing of Christmas goods this year than ever before.

COLD AIDS ROAD PAVING Crews Rush Hard-Surfacing on Hood River Stretches. HOOD RIVER, Or., Dec. 6. (Spe cial.)
