THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. AUGUST 8, 1920 7, v K V Interest Centers in Coming .; County Conventions. ISSUES STILL IN DOUBT Extravagant Claims Mad but Xot Seriously Taken Xon-Partisan , Lcagrue Real Factor. BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 7. (Special.) The election machinery of three po litical organisations in Idaho has been put into working- order with the Tuesday primary elections of the re publican and democratic parties and the state convention of the non-partisan league the day following. The next step will be the conventions in the various counties August 14. which will elect delegates to the republican and democratic state conventions to t. held at Pocatello and Idaho Falls. respectively, August 24. The primary served as a prelimi nary test, but the amended law did not win many friends because it is so constructed as to make voting; and the selection of candidates and dele Sates harder Instead of easier than before. None of the senatorial or gubernatorial candidates gained any advantage. They can make no claim to greater strength now than before the primary waa held. Eitnmgt Claims Made. Borne amusing. If not extravagant, .claims are being made by the repub lican candidates for high office. The democrats had no contests, so they do not enter into the discussion. While delegates were elected to the demo eratlo county conventions with no contests, it Is but a matter of form to elect delegates to the state convention. The democratic party will settle the congressional and state Issue matters there. Senator John F. Nugent will be nominated for senator. The can didate for governor and the candi dates for state office have not been selected and It is safe to say their selection depends upon political events between now and the time the convention is held. No one In Idaho who has observed the trend of political events is in a position to cay just who holds the balance of power or what republican candidates lead for the various state offices. The aspirants for senator Frank R. Gooding. L. V. Patch, B. O. Davis, A. H. Connor, Miles Cannon and C. W. Beale all have their friends and all will have delegates in the coming county and state conventions, but none of them will have sufficient delegates to control, nor to win the nomination on the first or second ballot. Wlisen to Be Picked. The same situation is true with re gard to the candidates for governor. D. W, Davis, present governor; John W. Eagleson, present state treasurer, and M. I. Kiger, speaker of the house of representatives. The balance of control in the state convention will be In the hands of the uninstructed delegates, and a majority will go there uninstructed. The "entire situation Is likely to crystallize Itself into this:- These delegates will insist on naming: the strongest congressional and state ticket possible irrespective of the several and Mii.dry candidates in the running, and if some or all of the candidates In the race at present are not found to be satisfactory or con sidered to have winning qualifica tions they will be sidetracked and If necessary entirely new and as yet un mentioned men for office, will be se lected. The candidates who expect to be able to pack the.-state convention for themselves are due for a disap pointment, say party leaders. Ex-Service Mea Busy In the senatorial race Gooding Is probably the strongest, but the ex service men are unusually active and are determined to have something to say about the nominee. They will probably not control, but they will be a factor to be seriously considered. They made a hard fight in Ada county to .-get control of the county conven tion for Colonel I V. Patch. They did not succeed, but they proved to party leaders that if their forces are well directed In the future, instead or being somewhat mismanaged as was the case at the recent primary they must be taken into considera tion. It Is more than likely that combina tions between candidates for nomina tionscongressional and state will have a controlling influence on some of the county conventions coming up. There may be last moment retire ments and other changes as startling. The republican congressional and tate ticket is still in the making. Non-partlaam Ticket First. The Non-partisan league, which for the last few years has been a thorn in the side of the two old parties, is the first to get a state ticket into the running. Had the league peti tioned two weeks ago for a direct primary, it could have participated in the primary of last Tuesday, but evidently Its leaders thought this was not advisable, so they took no action A call had been issued for a state convention and it was held Wednesday at Nampa. The shortest and by far the most compact platform ever adopted by a political party was ap proved. It contains IS planks, brief and to the point. H. F. Samuels, whom the league se lected to run for state senator, was its candidate for governor two years ago and was defeated. He formerly was a Biember of the state executive committee of the republican party. S. Di, airchild,- named as the state sirndarw-bearer and candidate fo governor. Is a rancher and land owner if Kuna in Ada county. In statement accepting the nomination he made a characteristic expression wnen ne said: Kalrehlld Dmi Business. " "I hold in my hand the platform o me non-partisan league. For th next 90 day it will be my bible. If you elect me the next two rearm my life will be spent in carrying ou its doctrines. Within the next few weeks the other two parties will be placing their candidates on the ballot. I do not intend to attack these men. I am not going to lend myself to slander, but I am going to preach the platform which we have adopted. If the other candidates see fit to call me a liar I hope they do it at a place and time when they, can look me in the eye. and if after they have said It they do not smile, then I will start something."

State Treasurer Says Firms Were Allowed to Reduce Quality but Xot Add to Price. SALEM. Or.. Aug-. 7. (Special.) O. P. Hoff, etate treasurer and state sealer of weights and measures, let It be known today that he will inves tigate the recent increase In the price of gasoline. Several months ago when the short age of gasoline became apparent, prosecutions under the 6 per cent spe c51fic gravity law were suspended so that gasoline migTit be available for the essential industries of Oregon, the understanding being that the dis tributors would reduce the price Ihi cents a gallon if they were permitted to sell the same grade of fuel as sold in Washington. The quality has been reduced, it Is said, but the price has continued to advance. "The increased price demanded Is apparently so much greater than the increased cost of production, trans portation, etc," said Mr. Hoff, "that it appears an attempt is being made to take advantage of a critical situa tion. . This, in my opinion, is unwar ranted, and a violation of the under standing of the oil companies and is reacting unfavorably to the state of Oregon industrially and commercially. The original understanding as to quality to be furnished and price to be charged was made only after the shortage seriously threatened the moving of crops and the continuance of operation of industries depending on the output of the oil companies."
