William Lee of Black-foot Enters Race a Candidate for State Associate Justice. l i BOISE; Idaho. June (Special.) ' With tho departure of seven of Idaho s j eight delegates to the Republican na . tional convention in Chicago, there ' to ha Joined by the eighth delegate. ' Senator W. E. Borah, the eyes of all i republican, and for that matter demo cratic leaders In Idaho, , are turned toward the Mecca city of politics. Vour of the delegates will be for General Leonard Wood on the first ballot. Four others -will be for the programme that United Slates Senator Borah outlines. Those who profess to know say that before the voting: is over the entire Idaho delegation will b a, unit for what the senior senator wishes. The eeven delegates who are now Vound for Chicago from Idaho arc: John Thomas of tioodintr, state chair man; Stanley Eastiyt of Kellogg. John Gray of Coeur d Alcnc, wiinam f. Guthrie of Twin Falls, M. B. Yeaman r Idaho Falls, Harold Jenness of Nampa and Capitain Jones of Nez ferce. JUeesrs. Thomas, Guthrie and Yeaman. are for the Borah programme. Messrs. Easton, Gray. Jenness and .Tones are for Wood on the first bal t lot. Easton is really a Hoover man, hut not being opposed to General i Wood nor over-enthusiastic for him, lie comes from a section of the state where tber la Wood sentiment and - , Is willing; to express that sentiment ' by hlo vote. , Of the eight alternates, few will make the trip, but among those of .:' them who will so is Major Armstead i who was wood's campaign manager .' in Idaho, an open opponent to the . senior senator. ' IV one WIIIIds; to r red let. None of the delegates were willing '", to predict that their favorite will win. i So far as Idaho republicans are con cerned, they, will generally support i the nominee of the convention, no . ' matter whether he Is one of those prominently mentioned or a dark " horse. There will be no bolting of the ticket. The feeling among repub . '. licans insofar as preference is con cerned has not run trfat way. There - '' have been and are favorites among f-. them In the race. ' But if their favorite should not happen to win the nomination, they J will forget their difference and sup port the choice of the convention. In fact, there eeems to be an impression that the nominee will be a compro- f mlse man. Democrats here are greatly inter ." V eted in the report that Fred T. .? Dubois, ex-United States senator, now holder of a federal position which pays him J7500 per annum, but does not prohibit extensive traveling, is ' going to be somewhat in evidence at ... . the Lewiston delegate convention this month, not only as a candidate for -j Democratic national committeeman ' but for a position on the state delega- . '. ( tion to the San Francisco convention, j Dubois in his time made all of the i democrats in Idaho sit up and take . . . notice and relegated not a few of the leaders to the rear. But he -fell when he attempted to force the party to adopt his fight against the Mor ; mons and the Mormon church. That ). was the dividing of the ways. He , split with United States Senator . V Nugent then and thereafter retired as an active participant in the Idaho . ? political ring. But the lion and the lamb have lain "V down together. Dubois is actively ;: supporting Nugent. Whether this has any connection with the report that , ',. he is a candidate for national com S mitteeman, party leaders here declare 5 they do not know, but they are draw ' In fir conclusions. ;- It was supposed that Robert H. i Elder of Coeur d'Alene, present na - tional committeeman, was not going to be given competition. The reported entrance of Dubois into the commit teeman race explodes this. It is liable to cause a lively row. Elder wants to succeed himself. He is prepared to make an active fight for the place. There is nothing to indicate that he Is at outs with Senator Nugent, who will be the dominating figure at the Lewiston convention. Ex-Senator Dubois will very likely land on the state delegation to San Kraneisco, even if he does not succeed In his aspirations for national com mitteeman. Three Judges to Be Elected. The announcement of William Lee of Blackfoot as a candidate for asso ciate justice again calls to the atten tion of the electors of this state that they have, besides a regular chief justice to elect to the supreme court, two associate justices, who take of fice conditional upon the electors next fall ratifying the constitutional amendment so providing, passed by the last legislature. There are two otner canaiaat.es in the race: Judge Charles P. McCarthy of the third ju dlcial district and Bailey Lee of Jerome, a well-known attorney in southern Idaho. It seems to be generally conceded that the successor to Chief Justice William M. Morgan, who does not ex pect to be a candidate to succeed him self, will be from northern Idaho Lee was chairman of the code com mission of the last legislature, being state senator Irom ttmgbara county. He was also a prominent member of the judiciary committee.

(m and in feur smaller towns. It Is my opinion that It would have been a mistake to attempt to en force the law more rigidly than has been done this year in the face of the practical impossibility of doing the work more effectively. It has not been possible to spend all of the state and federal funds appropriated for Chis purpose for the present year, but the indications are that there will be a pressing need for all avail able funds from now on. It is be yond question that the proper pro cedure Is to begin with the largest cities of the state and work down. "It Is suggested that a conference of sirperintendents and teachers from the 22 school districts of the- first class be held in August, in order that the work throughout the state may be put on a more definite basis in September. It should be borne in mind that even at that time a thor ough standardization of the work will not be possible and that making com pulsory part-time education a perma ment success will Involve patient constructive work from year to year." OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL- LEGE, Corvallis, June 5. (Spe cial.) Honors have clustered thick about Robert H.

The senior woman receives 40, the junior 530 the soDhomor $20 and the fresh SALEM. Or., June 5. (Special.) The Oregon state legislature at Its next session, will be called upon to decide on one of three courses rela tive to the oneration of the part- time school law now in effect in this state. according to announcement made here today by Newton Van Dal sem. state director of vocational edu cation. One course is the repeal of tho law and abandonment of any effort to siv th nroblem. while another is to revise the act with a viow to fa cilltatinz its effective operation, but at the same time running the risk or further complications. The third plan is to let the law stand as it ts for another biennium, in order to rain further experience oeiore uo- ciding what to do. The exoerience of tho largest com munities in the state, covering the past three years will be the safest guide to follow," said Mr. Van Dal- sem. "Oregon is one or tne u eiaiea which now have the compulsory part time schools. It is evident that the fundamental principle of part-time education is sound, and that reco nition of this principle has steadily gained ground since Wisconsin oe jan it In 1911. Problems Prove Perplexing. On the other hand, it is equally evident that the part-time school is too new and untried a thing in any state to admit of definite and detailed standardization, and there are still manv Demlexing problems to be solved. "In my opinion the law has three defects. The first of these is that it is not possible to reach employed minors between the ages of lb and 18 years who have not finished the eighth grade. Secondly, it is not possible to reacn grammar school grades, Decause mc law distinctly provides tnat tnese grades are exempt. And it is possible lor minors wno are eligible to enrollment in part time schools to attend evening school instead of the part-time school. I believe that any revision of the existing laws should tie made, to re move these three defects, and pro vide compulsory part-timo education for all minors between 14 and 18 years of age who will profit by the kind of work offered, regardless of scholastic attainments and evening school opportunities.

Read The Ore-yonian classified ads. Having failed to defeat George E. Chamberlain for the democratic nom ination for United States senator, there is a rumor circulating that his party enemies may place an inde pendent candidate in the fis) d in the November general election. Senator Chamberlain's enemies played their trump card in the primaries when they produced the letter from Presi dent Wilson, which was practically a declaration from Mc. Wilson that he was displeased with Senator Chamberlain's vote on the league of nations. Whether an independent is pro ducd against ' Senator Chamberlain depends iarge'y on the result of the natioi-.a! convention to be held in San Francisco this month. If Mr Wilson controls the convention and forces the party to make his copy of the treaty of Versailles the cam paign issue, then the opposition will be once more fortified to fight Cham berla'n. for in such an event Cham- hf-rlum's vote trr the Lodere reser I vationa will put him "In bad" the party platform. It, however, Mr. Wilson . cannot work his will on the convention, and he Is frustrated in his plan to place the treaty of Versailles above all other things, then Senator Chamber lain will not be in bad graces of the organization, albeit he. will still have his bitter enemies camping on his trail. From what fragments of democratic gossip can be gleaned these days, the Oregon delegation will not be of one mind on the treaty of Versailles. It may be heresy on the part of some of the old war horses of democracy to refuse to accept the Wilson pro gramme lock, stock and barrel, but some of them intend making the re fusal just the same. The real truth of the situation in democratic circles in Oregon is that Mr. Wilson is not considered as infallible as he was up to a couple of years ago. Many Democrats Displeased. The president has done many things which do not please democrats who have been active leaders in the party for a generation. A few of these in dependent . souls will be in the na tional convention and intend free lancing on matters of platform ani policy and so far as the Versailles treaty is concerned, they are perfectly willing to have it subordinated to such an issue, for instance, as free canal tolls for American coastwise vessels, in which the Pacific coast is particularly concerned. In the event of a showdown of strength betVeen W. J. Bryan and Mr. Wilson for domination of the con- vention, three' or more of Oregon's ten delegates will side with Bryan. with committee, announced yesterday that tne team or secretaries euw vj B. Carter Milliken of New York will be here during the session and on three nights will give moving pic tures of the work of the various boards which they represent, both in home and foreign fields. Other members of the team are:: Dr. A. W. Halsey, secretary of the foreign mission board; Dr. John Mc Dowell, social service secretary of the home board; Dr. William Hiram Foulkes, former pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Portland, gen eral secretary of the new era move ment; Ezra L. Van Nuys, men's work secretary, and Richard C. Hughes, secretary for work In the state universities. LABOR NOT IN DEMAND OREGON SYNOD AT EUGENE Work of Mission Boards to Be Shown in Moving Picluree.

For the first time in more than a year lumber camps are in many cases work. ing; with all berths filled and the num ber of floaters down to a minimum. There is no explanation expressed for the unexpected stabilizing of the labor movement, but camps on tne iverry line as well as road camps along the Columbia river are turning; down ap plicants for work. The only occuricnc wnicn nia caused ary appreciable influx of men to Portland and thence to the lumber region of the Columbia is the shutting: down of camps along the Pacific Rail way. & Navigation line to imumooK. but it was not thought that more than 1000 men bad been released there. Job boards in Astoria showed little de mand for men. indlcatinr that camps on the Washington shore were equally well supplied. A probable factor in the calm of the labor movement is tho desire of most men to get a "stake" to tide them over the Fourth. Most operations will, as usual, shut down for the big time in the woods and no logger will com to town without a good size roll to help observe the day most fittingly.
