TRAFFIC KEEPS UP
Summer Tourists Follow
flux of Colonists.
In-
BUSINESS IS DESIRABLE
Proportion of Investors to Job
Hunters Is Larger Personally
Conducted Parties Are Fea
ture of New Order.
Now that the railroad! have ceased
ailing colonist tickets, they are giving
attention to the regular Summer tour
ist traffic to Or:fn, which promises
to begin with the same heavy move
ment as the one-war business ended.
Indications point to continued Inter
est In Oregon through the entire year
and thousands of persons are expected
to come to the state as a result of the
low tourist rates which the Tarlous
lines will maintain In effect through
the year.
The Summer business Is often more
desirable than that which comes In the
colonist periods. Usually the class of
people traTellng on tourist tickets ars
more likely to become Investors. The
proportion of Job-hunters among them
is smaller.
Inquiries Still Coming.
Continued Inquiries are coming Into
the offices of all roads. The Great
Northern Is preparing to handle two
specially conducted parties out of St.
I'aul to Oregon each month. The first
of these arrived here lust week and
went directly into Central Oregon. Not
all the travelers will remain In the
state, but in the party were a score
or more who will take up their homes
there.
As soon as the last rush of colonists
passes through the Portland stations
the total number that the state has re
ceived will be estimated and prepara
tions will be made for handling the
Hummer business.
Oregon was the destination last year
of more tourists than any other state
in the West or Northwest. The validat
ing office In Portland cleared more
tickets than did that at either Kan
Francisco or Los Angeles. The record
for the present year promises to be
even greater, as the comparative num
ber of Inquiries for this section Is much
greater.
Biff Crowd Coming.
Indicative of the volume of business
that attended the close of the low-fare
colonist period was the following tele
gram received by Archibald Gray, as
sistant general freight and passenger
agent of the Great Northern, from 8. J.

HOFER. EXPLAINS VIEWS
PARTT ORGANIZATION FI.AX
FAVORED IX LETTERS. "
Salem Publisher Gets Replica to Re
quest for Comment on Pro- v
posed State Convention,
In response to letters sent out by him
to prominent Republican leaders
throughout the state. E. Hofer. a Salem
newspaper man. has received many re.
nil, favorlnsr a nlan set forth by him
rto secure harmonious action to Insure
party success at the polls in Oregon,
ills Idea is to have the precinct com
mitteemen, provided for In the direct
nrimarv law. act as a party guide In
the various campaigns. He does not
favor the assembly plan or anything
aavnrlnar of It. he declares, but he Is
emphatic In the belief that It Is time
for the Republicans to insist upn -ganisatlon.
Talking along these lines
Mr. Hofer yesterday said:
. while there may be some Republicans
who think It la Inadvisable to express them
selves. I believe that IB the lace oi s
coming National campaign the time has
corns to state a few fundamental principles.
Nowhere but In Oregon does anyone pretend
that a political party can exist without a
detailed orsanlsatlon. Nowhere, but In Ore
gon are Republicans expected to apologise
for having a platform, or uerins m . -for
the purpose of formulating a declaration
of parly principles. For practical purposes
tho Republican party today has no state
organisation and has bo state platform.
Shall we forever remain in this condition of
chaotic humiliation T I propose that ws get
out of this condition of political negation.
ln the palmy days of Oregon Republican
ism, whan the late Frank w. Baker waa state
chairman, we bad an-organisation that ex
tended Into evsry precinct la every county,
and we rolled up from ii.Ooo to 3O.0"O ma
jority for the whole ticket. We can do that
arain If ws take bold In tbe right spirit,
stand up for the progressive policies that
have be. a enacted by the Republican voters
of Oregon, and In the next campaign go
down the line together for a National vic
tor ziome time since I addressed a letter to
number of Dromtnent Republicans, call-
ins attention to the fact tTiat under the
primary law we have a Republican organise
tlon. This should do away with the rharge
that any man or set of men are trying to
form a party organisation. The primary
law provides for three man to be chosen
In each county known as county committee
men. The law provides for a precinct com
mitteeman to be eboesa by the Republican
voters in each precinct. These precinct and
county committeemen are chosen for iwe
years, la the county the precinct commit
teemen constitute the county oentral com
mittee. At tbe same time the committee
men of the precincts comprising a city con
stitute the city committee. This Is the of
ficial, lawful constituted party organization.
There can be Be other, it Is conceded by
The Oregonlan and by all Republican leaders
that the primary law has become tbe per
manent party machinery for choosing can
didates and maintaining a party organiza
tion. Contrasted with the elements that oppose
legitime! party organization. In order that
they may pram by guerilla warfare between
the party tinea, there are honorable men
who believe In maintaining party organiza
tion. The Republican who bellevaa In the
fundamental principles of his psrty wants
a clean, decent, lawful and Intelligent Re
publican organization that reachea Into every
precinct In the state. He believes that good
government, general prosperity, eonnd finan
cial and economic systems are all possible
through the perpetuity ef the Republican
party. That kind of cltlsenahip abhors boss
Ism and political managers and will uphold
party organization through the direct pri
mary law. I propose that we organize the
Republican party for tne oomlng atlonal
campaign by atiict compliance with the let
ter and the spirit of the direct primary
law, including the adoption of a Republican
platform before there are any nominations
submitted to the people under the law, and
that all Republicans who are candidates be
come candidates upon a platform enunciated
by Republicans and pledge themselves to
such platform of principles snd to support
nominees made under the direct primary
standing upon such a platform.
VI y proposition that the 103 county com
mitteemen and about 1000 precinct com
mitteemen ere the officially delegated rep
resentatives of the Republican party In Ore
gon, and that they are the proper persona
to come together and make a platform for
all Republicans to stand upon, baa not been,
and I think cannot successfully be, con
troverted. It must be admitted there are
persons of prominence and Influence In this
slate, calling themselves Republlcana who
are opposed even to so much of an organ
isation as a gathering of these committee
men merely for the purpose of making a
platform of party principles and planning a
campaign.
1 have received many replies from promi
nent Republicans In comment on the prop
osition. A county chairman from one of
the largest counties writes:
1 have long been la favor of such a
solution ef ths primary law. It Is along
the line' of the Cobb amendment to the
New York law, which waa rejected by the
bosses bt New Tork a year ago."
A member of the state central committee
wrltee:
"Replying to yours, will say that I ap
prove ef your plan la regard to organis
ing our party. la doing so we avoid any
s:gn of bossism."
No one pretends that a political party
ran exist without organisation and without
formulated principles clearly setting forth
Its position on vital questions. It la as
sumed by some Republican leaders that Ore
gon will cest Its vote for a Republican
president under any circumstances. This
does not necessarily follow. But on the
other band, next year when we have a
President. United States Senator and three
Congressmen te elect, all upon National Is
sues. It would seem to be a favorable time
te consider party organisation.

COMEDIENNE FRIEND OF

Marie Dressier Decries Problem Play

BT LJCONE CASS BAER.
MARIE DRESSLER, comedienne. Is
an animated example of optimism
and Its results. She la also a
great booster and friend of that much
talked-of person the "tried business
man."
"Well, he Isn't to be Joked about."
she said, a bit energetically, yesterday
afternoon In her dressing-room. "I tell
you I realise what this show business
means. I wouldn't go to see a problem
or one of those dramas that pull the
heart and soul out of your body and
scatter It to the four winds of heaven.
for any money. The theater should
first and foremost mean relaxation for
Its patrons. Who wants to pay money
to sit through a rehashing of his own
particular problem, or maybe a publlo
washing of dirty linen that does ab
solutely no one any good?
"I have always contended that God
meant for us to enjoy ourselves, that
happiness Is the greatest and most de
sirable thing In the world. That's why
I have done all I could to contribute
my share.
"I do not beUeve In anything that
tears down. Rather I want to see a
building up. and so I contend that
dirty plays, with low French morals or
lark of them. I should say. or the so
called .sex problem staged and flaunted
In the face of the theater patron
should be taboo. I think there is too
much real suffering, too much actual
woe and trouble 'round about us In our
every-day existence that we need not
go to the public playhouse to see a
spectacular picture of It. Personally
I don't go to see them. But every show
that has laughs tucked In thickly finds
me clamoring early for front-row seats,
I have always said that a good clean
two hours' entertainment could be
given, and I believe I prove It in my
present vehicle, TlUle's Nightmare.'
"There isn't one suggestive line or
word In it. and I've played It hundreds
and hundreds of times and even yet
find it interesting. It's wholesome and
clean. That's the sort of play the
American public wants, too. In spite of
all this twaddle about the decadence
of theatricals."
Miss Dressier waa trimming a won
derful bonnet while she chatted. The
bonnet belonged to a chorus lady, who
stood smilingly by while tbe plump
prima donna adjusted a gorgeous yel
low plume on the frail frivolous lace
hat..
"You know. 1 make all my own

McNichol was greatly Incensed. He

Phil S. Bates, of the Pacific North

charge the arrangements for the ex
cursion from the East of representa
tives of several large advertising agen
cies, has received notice of the accept
ance of the invitation to come out and
visit Portland 'during the Rose Festival
from AV. S. Jones, of Blnghampton,
N. Y., and of A. C. Gundlach, of the
Gundlach Advertising Agency In Chi
cago. Mr. Gundlach represents an an
nual appropriation of 1 1.000,000 through
his clients to be expended each year in
advertising.
The main purpose of the excursion is
to- educate the Eastern advertising
agent to the value of the Pacific Coast
as an integral part of the advertising
territory of the United States. It Is
Mr. Bates' belief that the Eastern
agent does not appreciate the value of
the Pacific Coast as a field for exploit
ing goods worthy of being advertised.
It is expected that fully 200 agents will
accept the Invitation and come to the
Coast to see Portland and the sur
rounding territory.
