Piper, editor of The Ore gonian, was the principal speaker at the morning .session of tne conven tion. His remarks were devoted prin cipally to observations on the repub lican and democratic national con ventions, which he attended this sum nier. He Asaid that one of the most Interesting features of American life will be eliminated if the national con ventions of the two great parties are ever dispensed with, and added hum orously: "I had considered the nom ination of Harding by the republi cans as highly improbable and that ot Ccx by the democrats as impos eihle. And yet, regardless of my per tonal ' views, the two conventions went ahead and named their tickets. Tribute Paid to Bryan. j Mr. Piper said that after attending seven or eight national convention, I he is willing to admit that neither party has a monopoly on the higher type of American citizenship, for at each of these gatherings were some of the ablest and truest men the na tion possesses. In speaking of the San Francisco convention. Mr. Piper paid tribute to the dominating per sonality of William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Piper declared there Is not a man in the United States who can beat Bryan in a running debate, even Bainbrldge Colby being unable to best Bryan on the convention floor. C. J.

Hopwood. circulation man " s.r of The Oregonlan. gave an in teresting and instructive shop talk on tlie circulation system which has been adopted by Oregon's great dally. The talk included the handling of the carriers, agents, solicitors and others of the, huge staff that has charge of getting the paper to the subscriber as soon as possible after it comes off the press. The principal address of the after noon cession was by George K. Aiken on the non-partisan league, and it was a denunciation of the methods employed by that organization in North Dakota and Minnesota, where it is in full sway, as well as of the conditions which Its rule has created. Mr. Aiken recently returned from a trip of Investigation in those two states. He said the league's victory In those staled had been made possi ble by the existing unsatisfactory conditions, many of which were based on false information. Lngne Declared No Remedy. The league, he added, has not rem edied those conditions, and in some instances has made them worse. As an illustration, he mentioned one store which he said the league had capitalized at $50,00u, selling the tock among the people, but its ehtire stock of merchandise did not exceed he declared, and what became .

Just out of a swimming hole !n Rock creek park, were picked up today by President Wilson, treated to a 45-min-ute motor ride and dropped out at their home, so proud th) folks there could not hold them with a rope. The three were hiking along the roadway when they saw the White House car and recognized the presi dent. Off came their caps and as Mr. Wilson ordered the car stopped, they timidly approached and asked how he was getting along. "Hop in," said the president, and they hopped. All along the ride they kept their eyes on the president and Mrs. Wil son,, and answered more questions than they asked. ..Water from tousled heads trickled over three sunburnt faces and dropped on the president's shoes. One youngster ducked to save the president's shine and apologized, but was told not to worry. Coming down Connecticut avenue the youngest of the trio, a thin, frail lad, barely 8, spied a kid he knew and called to him by name. The youngster dropped a loaf of bread and gasped. When the lads got out all three shook hands with the president and his wife. "So long, bo," one shouted to the secret service men.

Ii Righteousness, Avers Standard Bearer of Republican Party. BT MARK SULLIVAN. Copyright by' the New Tork Evening Post, Inc., Published by Arrangement. MARION, O., Aug. 14. (Special.) The democrats do a good deal of jib ing at Senator Harding about his front-porch campaign and I . under stand that some elements of the re publican management also dispute the advisability of it. ' ' Your correspondent has just wit nessed one of these front-porch occa sions and is strongly of the judgment that this method is, for Senator Hard ing and for Marion, and under all the circumstances, extremely effective. Of course it is obvious the number of persons is limited who can come to Marion in person and share the extra ordinarily agreeable impression that we all had on this occasion. Also it may be that this occasion was not completely practical and contained some features that would not be com mon to every delegation that comes to these front-porch speeches. Prosperity In Evidence. It was a gathering of the Ohio State Association of Republican Editors, and as such had in some sense a fraternal relation to Senator . Harding, but greatly more so than any of 4he dele gations that are likely to come. In any event, it would be difficult for a cor respondent who has necessarily done much traveling in every part of the country to recall any experience which crave so much the feellne of having been to the hearF"r"Amertyt a friendly and wholesome America.

The shortage of ice, which has been ' growing In proportion every day reached its first serious propor' tions yesterday when ice cream com' panies reported inability to obtain more than half the ice they desired. Calls from dwellings- and apartments, where butter was rapidly becoming a shapeless mass and milk was turning clabber, 'disclosed In many Instances that the companies had no more ice to deliver.- We are beginning to experience great difficulty to make tho limited amount of ice supply the various ice cream companies and if the hot weather keeps up the situation will assume serious- proportions during the coming week." asserted George W. Weatherly of . the Weatherly Creamery company last night. "To day we were unable, to obtain more than half of the ice we needed and our production of ice cream was thus cut down materially, just at the time that the pubic was demanding it as a relief from the heat." Mr. Weatherly's company, like many of the other ice cream manufacturing companies, - produces a considerable quantity of ice at its own pant, but relies also upon other companies, par ticularly during the hot weather. The larger plants. Mr. Weatherly estimat ed, use about 100 tons of ice a day hot weather, and yesterday many of the plants were cut to nearly half that amount. In an effort to relieve the situation, group of the ice cream manufac turers yesterday sent telegrams to large ice companies in all the Im portant cities of the Pacific north west, only to discover that the entire northwest is in the grip of a short age. Only two 'carloads of ice could be obtained, both from Spokane. They were started rolling towards Port land yesterday and should arrive here today. The extra supply will relieve the situation only temporarily. It was also decided to begin the operation of the Henry Weinhard company ice plant, which has been Idle practically all the time since Oregon went dry. Mechanics will go over the machinery at once, it was stated. In the effort to get it in shape, and the plant should be in operation by Monday. Between 30 and 40 tons of ice can bo turned out daily at this plant, it was estimated. The ice shortage is due largely to the unprecedented demand during thl Bourbons Swarm to Pro hibition Convention. JVancouTer Train Runs Into Rear End of Columbia Beach Car. Traffic Tied Cp.

Portland people think that 88.S is quite warm enough, thank you, and the weather bureau telephone was kept buzzing yesterday with requests for verification of the home thermom eters.

PUSSYFOOTING IS ONWORTW fy t' X e Democrats swarmed Into the prohi bition party convention yesterday and the net result was that Dr. Ksther Pohl Lovejoy, who is the democratic nominee for. representative of the third congressional district, was also nominated by the prohibitionists. But the invading democrats balked at in dorsing the prohibltlon'national plat form and Just when the democrats were about to be nlaced in an embar rassing predicament someone had a' happy thought and moved that the assembly adjourn. "The prohibition state meeting was called first and the following presi dential electors were selected: Cyrus H. Walker of Albany, C. J. Bright of The Dalles. L. L. Paget of Seattle, Mrs. Mary Jewett of Eugene and Miss Grace M. Amos of Portland. It was when the congressional as sembly was held that the democrats oozed Into the room at the central library somewhat bashfully. Under the law, 100 voters are necessary for a congressional nominating assembly and it was hard sledding securing the quota. The fjtist stood at 99 until a self-sacrificing newspaper man signed the roll so that the altar of duty was met with acclaim. Democrats Called la. Evidently there was a cut-and dried programme to have the prohi bitionists nominate Dr. Lovejoy Anyway democrats were telephpned to attend : Tncre'etlng. Johnson Smith, federal prohibition enforce ment officer for , Oregon, who wu democratic candidate for congress two years ago, was present. Will Moore, collector of customs, was part of the scenery. Elton Watkins. presl- ' dent of the'Jackson club and a demo cratic presidential elector, appeared Mrs. Maria 1 T. Hidden, who at tended the democratic national con vention as a delegate, was on hand. And there were others. On counting noses, it was discov ered hy Ada Wallace Unruh, secretary of tne prohibition state committee, that only 74 were present. An appeal was made to the visitors to telephone friends in order to save the day. A few democrats slid out and fed nickels into the telephone slots for the good of the order and within anothe'r hour the ranks gradually fattened up. Mrs. Unruh expressed her dissatisfaction with a law which requires 100 persons to nominate a candidate for congress. While the telephoning was going on. Johnson Smith was called on to give his experiences, with the result that he made many of the women angry because so many bootleggers are not being imprisoned, or hanged. drawn and quartered, or something equally severe. How one Bob Lowe manages to escape the law was some thing several prohibitionist women were concerned about. Mr. Smith showed that he, himself, was doing his duty, so the women declared that what they want is a -dry district at torney and dry judges and police men. Drya Declared - Asleep. "You prohibitionists don't-help me a bit," accused Mr. Smith. "You're asleep. Wake up. The people who are fighting me are working day and night. The law Isn't worth a whoop to you. 1 don't like the Volstead act." The prohibition part of the au dience began raising eyebrows, but Mr. Smith continued. "The Volstead act needs more teeth. Members of congress, voted for It. but cursed it under their breath. The Volstead act Isn't drastic enough. It isnt as stringent as the Oregon state pro hibition law. "Why, there Is a section, the one referring to search, that is likely to get us enforcement officers into trou ble if we are not careful. A good law-abiding prohibitionist woman can not come to me and have me search a neighbor's place where she feels sure that liquor is being sold unless she has actually seen liquor sales. There has to be an affidavit of positive knowledge. And you know how dif ficult it is to obtain such a statement. Lawyers who are defending liquor law violators know all about this sec tion.

With this Mr. Smith read a long list of names, each ending .with "itch, and the president of the Jackson club's hands kept going up and down like piston rods.
