ItNJT?W C2TATT? fll A T1?T A"T FOR G. 0. P. COMMITTEE TO BE ELECTED SOON Plenty Of Chance For Keen Competi tion Between Rival Sections Of The Stat From all indications, the future or ganization of a new Republican state central committee and the election of a new chairman . will be undertakings of great moment difficulty. T nomas H. Tongue, state chairman for the past twoterms will not, it is reported, seek 1-re-election and this leaves the field open for a number of candidates, representing various fac tions and constituences. Among those most frequently men tioned are: Phil Metschan of Port land; Bruce Dennis of La Grance, present senator from Urrlon county; Bert Anderson of MedTorcTand Walter L. Tooze, Jr. of McMinnville. Factional differences mil play a large part in the selection of the new chairman.- Eastern Oregon, repre sented by Bruce Dennis; Southern Oregon, by Bert Anderson; and Mult nomah county by Phil Metschan will each make strenous efforts to capture the honor from theV7illamette Valley where it has rested with Charles Mc- Nary and Thomas H. Tongue for the past three terms. In addition to4his itenr party iac- tionalism, the effort ofthe Ku Elxsx Klan and Federated Patriotic Societies to dominate the entire state Republi can organization injects further com plications into the 'chairmanship con test , Damascus Plans Farmers' Picnic The farm bureau of Damascus has planned a farmer's picnic to be held at the new Union school house two miles east of Damascus, this week Saturday.

Launer Leaves For Chicago Franklin Launer, who for several years has instructed the young people of Canby in instrumental music will on June 14th start for Chicago to take a special course of study under Percy Grainger. Though self dependant since his gaduation. Mr. Laurner has in his am bitions, steadily advanced to the point in his career, where a Professorship in Willamette University has been of fered hm. He wil ltake up a special course in music with that end in view. The striking feature, in connection with this young mans success, is seen in the contrast between, a studious young man, who has reached a goal in useful culture and one who prides him self on being the best card player, or the best dancer in the town. Or the "Cutest" target for the "vamp" or "Flaper". In the later case the fore runner of the gambler, course of disi pation, and failure. In the other case, we see the prophecy of hope, the er nest of life", the moral uplift of the na tion, intellectual development and the sunshine of lifes old age. Is there a contrast? Do you see it young man? A piano, looks much better under a young mans nose, than a cigarett Dont you think so? We are thankful as every commun ity should be thankful, for the good ex ample, in moral bearing of Prof. Lau rner, and we feel sure that the faculty of Willamette University will find in him a valuable acquisition to its facul ty.

VOTING AT PRIMARIES SHOWS INDEPENDENCE IN PARTIES Vacancies In Party Ticket Filled With Opposing Candidates NAMES WRITTEN IN Responsibilities Increased For Those Receiving Endorsements From Opposite Party The official sheets show some in teresting sidelights on the voting by. political parties. Candidates as well as party pirnciples receive indorse ments outside of the partisan fold. In almost every instance where the democratic ticket offered no candidate the opposition candidates received the nomination. Where, however, the can didacies of its own candidates had been announced, the party rallied to their support. Milton A. Miller, who through the press and through directions issued to precinct committeemen over the state prior to the -election had an nounced his candidacy. He was nom inated b his party by a large plurality although in several counties, state treasurer Hoff ran ahead of him for the democratic endorsement. Democrats wrote in 29 different names for member of congress to suc ceed W. -C. Hawley, resulting in a plur- alty for George A. Mansfield, presi dent of the Oregon State Farm Bur eau. The favorites in voting for supreme justices, were the three republican nominees.- The democratic endorse ment for labor commissioner went to C. H. Gram, republican candidate. In Clackamas county, where there was definite organized effort made a full county ticket and candidate for state treasurer, by writing in the names, the following ticket has been put into the field: Milton A. Miller, state treasurer; Roscoe Gard, county commissioner; Mrs. Elsie Gaffney and M. C. Glover, state representatives. E. G. Caufield received 103 voten and F. J. Tooze republican candidate 47 for senator. These results indicate that votes are no longer bound by partisan procedure or prejudice to the extent of a few years ago.

Spring sown crops are in fairly good condition in the western part of the state, but are not at all promising in the eastern part of the state. Much of the spring seeding was done much later than usual so there is a possi bility of improvement should good rains occur in the near future. - Compared with normal conditions crops over the state, wheat is esti mated at 90 per cent, oats 92 barley 87, hay 88. rye 95, apples 80, beans 90, berries 90, cabbage 80 'and onions 88.
