With Republicans for Selection or
Non-Partisan Bench June 16
Is State Convention.
Central committeemen from all the
counties of the state except Colum
bla, Coos, Crook, Grant, Klamath
Lake, Lincoln. Tillamook, Union ana
Wallowa gathered at the Imperial on
Saturday at 1 o clock in answer to tne
call Issued by State Chairman Sweek
some time ago. The deliberations 01
the organization were short, but things
were doing while the session was on,
Perhaps the most important action
taken was the endorsement of Bryan
for the next presidential candidate.
Seifator Milt Miller was the one who
brought the question up, and in a
short speech brimming jylth enthusi
asm he asked that the committee give
Its endorsement to the famous Ne
braskan.. Senator Miller contended
that the fortunes of the Democratic
party were oil the flood tide and he
predicted a presidential victory for
the party In November.
His motion that Bryan be endorsed
met with the unanimous support of
the committee and the delegates voted
the endorsement with a whoop. Sen
ator Miller, Lark Bilyeu and D. M.
Wntson were appointed as a commit
tee to make known to Mr. Bryan the
action of the committee by a fitting
communication sent to him.
The real purpose of the meeting for
which the committee had been cal'ed
together was the discussion of the
question whether to call a state con
vention. The presidential election
makes it necessary to choose dele
gates to the national conventlon.whlch
limits in Denver July 17. It also
makes necessary the selection of pres
idential electors to be placed upon the
ticket in November next. '
Under the direct primary law there
is no provision for yie election either
of delegates or of presidential electors
who are to be elected by the people In
November. The primary law is silent
as to how these officials should be
chosen either for nomination or fin
ally. Therefore the question that con
fronted the committee was a new and
a delicate one, as well as Important.
After much discussion, during which
the opinion of the attorney general on
the question was read, It was decided
by the members of the committee that
the only way to chooBe delegates to
the national convention would be by
means of a state convention.
On the other hand It was decided
that the only safe way to select the
presidential electors would be by the
direct primary nomination route. Ac

from Linn county, proposed to ,the
committee that It be the sense and
recommendation ot the committee that
four presidential electors be put on
the direct, primary nominating ballots
In April In the manner prescribed un
der the law for the primary nomina
tion of candidates for all offices.
He further incorporated In "his mo
tion that a state convention be called
for June 16, at Portland, at which time
delegates to the Democratic National
convention would be elected. The
number of delegates to be elected at
the convention was fixed at eight del
egates at large and an equal number
of alternates. It was further Incorpo
rated In the motion that the state con
vention, In order to lay all doubts at
rest, would ratify the result of the
primary election by endorsing the pre
sidential electors placed In nomination
at that election. This motion was car
ried without a dissenting vote.. -
There was much discussion over the
choosing of electors and delegates. It
was the concensus of opinion that a
state convention had full authority to
elect national delegates but the right
In regard to presidential electors was
uncertain.'
It. was the opinion of several attor
neys present that opponents could
contest the putting of electors nomin

lot for November. It was argued that
the April nominations were supposed
to be voted on In June, while the pres

GRANDFATHER
GIVEN CHILD
CUSTODY OF SEVEN YEAR OLD
BOY IS AWARDED TO D. L.
WOLVERTON.
FATHER NOT COMPETENT
Boy'e Parents Left Him Here and
Went to Seattle, the Father Leav- '
Ing An Unsavory Reputation .
. Behind Him.
The fight for the possession of Har
old Wolverton has been settled
through an opinion of County Judge
Dimlck that ims been handed down.
The child is about seven years of age,
and his parents, D. L. Wolverton, on
one hand, and his aunt, Mrs. C. E.
Forshner, and her husband on the oth
er, have been wrestling to obtain the
care of the boy for two weeks In the
court, and for a much longer time out
of court. Forshner asked to bave the
boy declared an "Abandoned" child,
under the juvenile statute.
. Last October the grandfather asked
the County Court for permission to
adopt the boy, stating that the par
ents of the boy had wilfully deserted
him and had neglected to provide for
his proper care and maintenance.
Judge Dimlok's opinion says in part:
"The testimony of a great many wit
neses was heard regarding the vici
ous habits of the father of said alleg
ed dependant child and from the evi
dence adduced it seems to be clearly
established that the father of said
child was for a number of years prior
to Jiis departing from this city, which
wa about four months ago, addicted
to the habitual ise of intoxicating liq
uors to .such an extent, that he would
at times become drunk and unable to
wiper ly care for himself, and a num
ber of times while residing In thin
city wltlrTiis family, was placed in the
city jail on account of drunkeuness,
and from the testimony of city offi
cials it seemed to be his common prac
tice, or at least was so while residing
in this city, and by reason thereof he
became a nuisance rather than an or
nament to the community, and it fur
ther appearing from the testimony of
petitioner's witnesses upon one occa
sion while the father of said child was
residing in this city, certain members
of his family became sick and dis
abled and he came up town for the
purpose of procuring certain medi
cines which were prescribed by the at
tending physician, but Instead of pro
curing the medicine and returning
home with It for the purpose for which
it was intended, he proceeded to get
drunk and was again placed in the city
prison and the city officials were com
pelled to procure the medicine and
take It to his home, and upon another
occasion, according to the testimony
of Dr. Carll, the father of said child
pretended to attempt suicide by tak
ing carbolic acid, and in the pretend-
ed attempt, scattered the poisonous
drug over certain members of his fam
ily, and It was the opinion of Dr.
Carll, according to his testimony in
the case, that the father of said child
was not a fit and proper person to
have the care, custody and control of
said alleged dependent child,- and fur
ther It was the opinion of the police
officers of Oregon City that by reason
of the habits of said father, he was
an unfit person to have the care, cus
tody and control of said child.
While there was a great deal of evi
dence produced which had no bearing
upon the issues in the case, a large
portion of the evidence was directed
at the general character and reputa
tion of the father of said child, while
living in Oregon City, and at other
places prior to the time of his coming
to this city, and it seems to be clearly
established from the testimony that
he has pursued a course that is not
creditable nor elevating to himself,
nor would his conduct while drunk
and disorderly place his child in pro
per environments, or set a proper ex
ample for a child to follow.
In the testimony of N. L. Wolverton,
the father of said child, he admitted
that his conduct while living here was
about as described by the police offi
cers and other witnesses, regarding
bis habits and conduct when drunk,
but testified that since he had left
Oregon City that he had not drunk
more than six or eight glasses of beer,
but It la reasonable to presume that
he has not altered his ways unless he
could show that he has completely re
formed, for when a man has followed
the practice of getting drunk and be
ing disorderly for a number of years,
It requires .more than his own testi-

mony to convince me that there has
been a change for the better, when
tho witnpRa himself acknowledges
that he has been "drinking some" even
if he limits it to six or eight glasses
of beer, which the witness did by his
own testimony."
"I think that the strongest proor oi
nhnnrinnmpnf in the solemn statement
of the grandfather of the child, as set
forth in his adoption proceeuings, as
no one would be in a better positon
to know than he, whether the child
Bptnallv abandoned. The grand
father knows the father of the child,
his disposition, habits, character ana
ability to provide for his child, and
knows far better than any one els
whether the child was actually aban
doned, and as that evidence origina

time of filing his said petition, and
taking into consideration the evidence
of the other witnesses, I do not believe
that the father or motner naa any ser

child to their home in Seattle."
"Th Grandfather claims "to have
charge of the child without any legal
control over it, ana tailing inro con
sideration that he is an old man past
tho liihllonl nllnted time for man to
live, and has only had charge ot the

and that it had no legal guardianship,

r think the evidence adduced in this
cause would indicate and convince the

In its parents' home it would not have

ship, neither would it have with its
grandfather, for the reason that he is
tnn nld tn nrnnerlv care for the child
and teach It as it should be taught,
nor does It have the proper paremai
care or legal guardianship with any
other person, and as the child has
been shifted around rrom piuar w

the child to have a permanent and

NOTED SPEAKERS COMING
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
Will Be Here Tent Dormotorles
To Be Established By Y. W. C.
A. For Young Women.
In point of Interest the coming ses
sion of the Willamette Valley Chautau
qua Assembly, which will be held at
Gladstone Park next July, promises to
be far ahead of previous sessions. The
engagement of John Sharp Williams,
Democratic leader In the House of
Representatives, is regarded as a mas

managers of the four Pacific Coast
Chautauqua Associations at Gladstone
Park, Ashland, Long Beach, Cal., and
Pacific Grove, Cal.
Alfred Montgomery, the farmer
painter; Dr. Robert Mclntyre, of Los

Rev. Maurice Penfield Sikes, of Frank
lin, Pa., who will be In Portland next
Summer for several weeks to occupy
the pulpit of the White Temple during
the absence of Dr. J. Whltcomb Brou
gher. The executive commute of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua has
been 'authorized to close contracts for
talent. It is a matter of regret on the
part of the "directors that they were'
unable to secure Miss Jane Addams.of
Hull House, Chicago, but her engage
ments would not permit her coming to
the Coast.
Six special days bave been set aside
for the session, as follows: Grange,
Patriotic, Portland, Oregon City, Wo
men's and Women's Christian Union.
On Patriotic Day Dr. Mclntyre, a fam
ous word painter, will deliver his lec
ture on Abraham Lincoln. It has
been given out that several new Chau
tauqua Associations may be formed on
the Pacific Coast, at Boise, La Grande,
and a point In the vicinity of Seattle
and Tocoraa.
The classes at the coming session
will be augmented by the addition of
the study of forestry, ornithology, biol
ogy and kindergarten. There vlll also
be classes In United States history,
music, elocution, literature, physical
culture, Bible and domestic science.

who had charge of the quarters of the
Y. W. C. A. last year, and Mrs. Lucy

probable that the Y. W. C. A. people
will assume charge of the Chautau
