SECRETARY SIMS QUITS ROOSE
VELT BECAUSE OF PLAN
OF CAMPAIGN
-ILLINOIS LEADER SUPPORTS DENEEN
Originator Of Movement That Brought
Colonel Out As Candidate
Favors Original
Plan
CHICAGO, July 26. Edwin W. Sims
secretary of the National provisional
committee of the Roosevelt third par
ty and who, with Alexander H. Revell,
headed the original movement which
brought "T. R." as a candidate opeif
ly into the field, resigned tonight'and
asked United States Senator Dixon,
Roosevelt's campaign manager, to re
lieve him of further duties at once.
Lack of sympathy with the new
third party plan of going into state
and county politics was the reason for
his withdrawal. Mr. Sims' principal
Teason was that he was not in accord
with the scheme of placing a third
party state ticket in Illinois in oppo
sition to Governor Deneen. He says
the State Executive, is a real progres
sive and that Illinois has no cause to
be ashamed of her stand for a "new
deal" and for its administration.
Mr. Sims, who was formerly United
States District Attorney in Chicago,
says he was in full accord with the
original Rooseveltian scheme of plac
ing electoral tickets in each state and
battling for their election. He says
he is still for Roosevelt as the Presi
dential candidate, hut has resigned so
he may openly work for the election
of the regular Republican state an'd
county tickets.
His resignation came as a thunder
bolt into the third party camp. Since
January he has been heading the
movement and was one of the hardest
workers in Colonel Roosevelt's service
Recently he has been sitting in the in
ner circle meetings at New Yerk,
where the provisional committee map
ped out its plans for National organ
ization, and was regarded as one of
the new party's staunchest leaders.

COST WOULD BE SMALL, IS REPORT
Opponents Of Plan Declare That It Is
Cheaper To Send Children "
To Oregon
City
An election has been called by the
school board of district No. 115 to de
termine whether Gladstone shall pri
vide a four years' high school or whe
ther the boys and girls shall be sent
to the Oregon City High scool at the
district's expense. At the annual
school metting held June 17 a large
majority of those present voted for a
high school but it was necessary to
call a special election to vote on this
question in order to comply with the
school law
A strong effort is being made by per
sons who are opposed to a high school
in Gladstone to prevent its establish
ment or, if that cannot be done, to
compromise by voting to send all the
eligible high school pupils to Oregon
City High school at the district's ex
pense. Since it was made evident at
the annual school meeting that the
sentiment of the district is largely for
high school instruction, the latter plan
is being pushed on the grounds of
economy. To this end a statement is
being circulated, ostensibly issued and
signed by the school board, some of
whom do not endorse it, showing the
estimated cost for the first year if a
high school is established at Glad
stone, amounting to $1305 as against
$550 if the eligible high school pupils
are sent to the Oregon City High
school.
Of the items which make up the es
timate of $1305 as cost for the first
year if the high school is established
there are but two, amounting to
$220, which will really be necessary.
At the present time there are but four
teen pupils in the district vho are
eligible for high school -and these can
easily be provided for in the room now
being used by the few who are taking
ninth and tenth grade work. Like
wise no additional teacher will be re
quired to handle the added two years
course.

Mr. Samson had partially regained the
use of his vocal cords, and to a slight
extent the use of his hands and his
arms. His physician, Dr. J. W. Norris
believes that Mr. Samson has a chance
to recover. The justice of the peace

attending to his work. After officiat

formed his friend, W. W. Myers, thai
he was not feeling well and asked Mr.
Myers to fill out the marriage certifi

the paper. Scores of friends called at

EREICHT REFORMS
BV S. P.
! SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, (Spe
I cial.) A campaign for a number of
freight traffic reforms that will be a
I great aid to both the shipper and the
railroad, is being worked out by the
traffic and claims departments of the
Southern Pacific Company One of the
important features of this campaign is
to be an -attempt to do away with ov
ercharges. "A railroad would rather spend $2
to avoid an overcharge, than half that
sum in adjusting one," says E O. Mc
cormick, vice-president in charge of
traffic. One of the common causes
for overcharge claims is the failure of
the shipper to properly describe the
article on the shipping ticket, and in
such cases the bill of lading carries
erroneous information.
Claims, in many instances, arise
JJrom causes beyond the control of the
Cgfcad company, and can be avoided
ouiy inrougn me acuve interest ana
cooperation of shippers. Another cause
for overcharge claims is illegible and
poorly written flickets and bills of lad
ing. The use of abbreviations also
makes a great dealof trouble. Fre
quently these alleged overcharges are
really undercharges. Proper descrip
tion of the article shipped is one of the
best methods of avoiding overcharges,
say the officials. It means much de
lay to the shipper when the railroad
company has to adjust these, and the
company is able to save much of this
delay and expense, principally by hav
ing the agents and shippers see that
proper descriptions and proper addres
ses are well written or printed on the
shipping tickets and bills of lading.

EDITOR OF ORDER'S PAPER SUG
GESTS HE BE NAMED
DISTRICT DEPUTY
WORK OF LODGE IS COMMENDED
Nathan Baker, of Kansas City, So Fav
orably Impressed With Coun
try He May Locate
Here
At the suggestion of Nathan Baker,
of Kansas City, editor of the "inter
state Elk," who addressed the local
lodge Friday evening, a resolution was
adopted by a unanimous vote, provid
ing that Dr. Clyde Mount, Past Exalt
ed Ruler of the Oregon City lodge, be
named District Deputy of the Grand
Exalted Ruler.
Mr. Baker declared that - the Oregon
City lodge had as fine a record as any
in the state and that it was due Its
members that one of its number be
signally honored. He called attention
to the fact that the lodge, although
it was organized only three years ago,
is one of the strongest in the north
west and captured one of the big
prizes in the recent parade in Port
land. The speaker was enthusiastic in de
scribing the noble work that is being
accomplished by the order. "Instead
of painting towns red," he declared,
"this great order is painting homes
white. Its great aim and work is in
the line of uplift. It inculcates, bet
ter than any other force the great mor
al laws, that once adopted make for a
better citizenship and a more glor
ious country."
Mr. Baker came here to attend the
big convention in Portland, and is so
favorably impressed with Oregon that
he is thinking of locating here. He
likes Clackamas County better -than
any other section of the state he has
visited. . . -
"I am confident Dr. Mount will be
made District Deputy," said Mr. Baker
"if the local lodge asserts itself, and
it is no exaggeration when I say that
it is the most deserving in the state."
