WET AND DRY
FORCES IN
CAUCUS CITY
(Continued from Page One)
tlons who discussed the prohibition
plank the Republicans will adopt next
week, the primary Interest seemed
to be the degree of wetness.
Plan Demonstration
The organised wets and drys carried
their dispute from the statement
stage Into a series of demonstrations,
with the former laying plans for a
two day demonstration to begin to
morrow and the latter beginning a
series ot meetings, described by F.
Scott McBrlde, general superintend
ent of the Anti-Saloon League, as
call to arms."
The wet demonstration was ar
ranged under the auspices of the
crusaders and the Republican citi
zens' committee against prohibition.
Already Henry H. Curran. president
of the association against the pro
hibition amendment had issued a
statement demanding a repeal plank.
The dry rally was opened under the
auspices of the Anti-Saloon League
and the Illinois conference of asso
ciations supporting the eighteenth
amendment. McBrlde in the keynote
speech before the meeting said a re
peal plank in the Republican piat
form would be a "colossal blunder."
Curran pointed to the recent elec
tions In Florida, Indiana, and North
Carolina "as a concrete proof of what
is going, on In the popular mind."
Mrs. SmJtli Hpenks
A statement came today from Mrs.
Ida B. Wise Smith, vice president of
the National Womans' Christian
Temperance Unon, saying the "drive
to repeal or modify the eighteenth
amendment Is the. pathway to put
rid politics."
Curran said "there Is an open re
volt against prohibition throughout
the country and It is the most amaz
ing study in national psychology seen
In years. The tide is running our
way."
In an Interview before he addressed
the dry meeting, McBrlde said John
D. Rockefeller Jr., "ported company
with the leauuo In 1926 when he
tool: Issue with prohibition by logis
latlon." He added that If a repeal
urogram "Is ever adopted, Rockefel
ler will find a Saloon alongside most
of his filling stations in many states
and gasoline and liquor don t mix
Leaders Tlgnt-Llppea
While Incoming delegates were free
to speculate over the platform pos
sibilities, narty leaders were tight-
lipped. What p latform proposals
James Garfield, of Ohio, the chair
man designate of the resolutions
committee, may be bringing to Chi
cago from Washington remain to be
disclosed but few believe that the
concensus will be for less than o
move for ' an ' advisory referendum.
Garfield is expected tomorrow.
The decision of the Republican
national committee to seat the dele
cations from South Carolina headed
bv Joseph W. Tolbert, from Georgia
led by- James W. Arnold, from Louis
iana sponsored by Ernest Lee janncKe,
and from Mississippi headed by ferry
Howard, .negro, cleared away the last
m.ilor detail remaining before the
committee.
Speculation Revives
It left room for a revival of specu
lation over tho Identity of the per
son who will succeed Senator Fess,
of Ohio, as chairman of the commit
tee, but there was a definite lack of
concentration upon any one name.
The desire of party leaders Is to
select a man whose name and per
sonality will grip the nation, and
Charles G. Dawes, recently resigned
as head of the Reconstruction cor
poration to return to his business
interests, Is definitely understood to
have turned the poot down.
Talk has been passed about the
flag draped lobby of the Congress
hotel, too, about the possibility of a
man to replace Curtis, but the spec
ulalon Is as Indefinite and shifting as
the thin clouds that are continually
passing over a picture of galloping
horses that stand still In an electric
sign at a far corner of the lobby.
SIX REMAIN IN
DIRECTOR RACE
(Continued from Page One)
filed for Dr. Lee B. Bouvy by his
friends.
Questioned by the Observer today.
Dr. Bouvy said: "I believe there Is
already a fine representation of can
didates In the field, from which two
good directors undoubtedly will bo
selected by the voters. I was sur
prised yesterday when I learned that
my friends had filed a nominating
petition for me, but, in view or tne
fact that there are good candidates
In the raco and because of tho stress
of my professional duties, I do not
expect to accept the nomination, al
though I am very appreciative of
the honor paid me."
The school election win be nolo
on Mondav. June 20 from I to I
o'clock at the Oreenwood and Cen
tral grade school buildings.
Retiring directors are W. C. Per
kins and Dr. J. L. Ingle.1

A study of tho legislative situation
surrounding the bonus legislation in
the house has led legislative leaders
to believe a voto will come Wcdnes
day, or late Tuesday ot the earnest.
It will Ilrst be necessary on Monony
for the hous-j to vote out of the rules
committee a rule permitting con
sideration of the bill which now 13
tabled with an unfavorable report.
Then that rule will have to be adopt
ed, probably bringing up the bill on
tho following day. General denaic
and amendment attempts probably
will consume a day.
Meanwhile, an attempt to appro
priate (100.000 for cure or the bonus
marchers was blocked In the senate.
Vice President Curtis held on
amendment offered by Senator Blaine
(R., Wis.) for that purpose was not
In order as an amendment to the
District of Columbia appr6prlatlon
bill.
Blaine offered several other amend
ments, designed to divert to the
marchers some of the 600.000 cor

COLORFUL, thrilling scenes will be enacted at the

these are the superficial aspects, the background against which history-making
balloting will decide the Presidential candidates.
The Associated Pkmss dispatches on these conventions will bring to news
paper readers a vivid picture of the pageantry and excitement but that is not all.
Expert reporters will write up-to-the-minute, accurate accounts of all vital angles,
probe under the surface to interpret authoritatively the significance of each impor
tant move, and analyse fairly the ever-changing situations.
The Associated Press staff is NOT concerned with the fate of candidates
or parties, it is interested only in reporting the news, impartially and truthfully.
Through unwavering adherence to that principle,"AP" has won world-wide preference.

cut and return the 10 to 12 per cent
of their checks to tho general fund

Infective Immediately
Tho reduction of other salaries
set by the governor and heads of the
departments, Including the board of
control, will becomje effective Im
mediately. Each department and In
stitution head will be Instructed to
rcduco their own employes on that

to the department officials. In a
few cases where tho salaries were be
lieved too low, an lncreaso may bo
recommended.
Following tho recommendations of
the committee, It was further
learned that the governor and bud
get director. Henry M. Hansen, would
not only consider salary reductions
for the budget, but would recom
mend tho legislature reduce tho sal
aries for tho next two years on the
same basis. No difficulty In put
ting this through both houses Is an
ticipated under tho present condi
tions. Tho legislative rccomniondatlons
for reductions will not ho a perma

tho measure will provide for a re

one of the moves being made to ac
complish this purpose.
Cut Held Imperative
Administrative officials, It was
leurned, appreciate the fact that
Oregon's salary schedulo on the whole
is less than In most states, but that
a cut at thlB time is Imperative de
spite this condition. The head of
ficials likewise know that if a per
manent reduction would be put Into
effect. It not only would bo more
difficult to got them back when Im
