f If VTonlrow Wilson, to m horn they
" pisds-sd. ha bn eliminated from

dential nomination?
TMs question la entirely appropriate
at 1h:s tiros In lesr of the fact that
the latest figures compiled aa to deie
aatra ele-tet acd Instructed show that
the New Jersey man la far ahort of the
required two-thirds vote of the con
vention AerriMrr to nominate, and
wtth allm chance of acquiring; that
number.
Not only is the query causins some
peculation among- the electors, but It
is asltatinc the d. lrcatcs who have
rot met for orrarilsatlon and the con
alteration of vtrwiu detatla that will
develop in the course of the convention.
With Wilton out vt the way. the fur

Is strongly ?uiftri that with the
eltmlnatiun of tvtljon. a majority, at
least, of the drirg-alrs would flock to
llrran If the name of the Nebraskan at
that stace of the proceedings bad been
resented to the convention.
t iara, la Beraad Ckosre.
There are lemocrats. however, who
vnalntaln that after the Oregon dele
gation has fulfilled Its obligation to
ine party's voters In this state, they
w;il line op not for Bryan, but for
Mpeaker Clark. This la the prediction
of Jams T. liarbee. of this city, who
declares that fully one-halt ot the
ctelrcatlon will be for Clark as their
second choice, regardless of whether
the Nebraskan becomes a candidate.
Mr. Maxbee conducted Clark's campaign
In this state in the recent primary
crn;aian.
"It Wtlaon falls to receive the nomi
nation, the question of whom the dele
gation will then support la one for the
dvlrgatcs to determine for themselves,"
aatd ederl k V. Holrnan. a member
ft the delegation yesterday. The dele
gation haa not hold a meeting, with
the result that Its course In the con
vention baa not been considered. Per
sonally. 1 favor Harmon aa a second
choice, as every one knows. Outside
of Harmon I have no other choice."
"I have not bad an opportunity to
talk wtth any one of the other dele
gates since the election." said W. K.
King, another member of the delega
tion yesterday. "As for myself. I hava
not decided who will be my choice If
Wilson la eliminated from the contest.
My selection will depend entirely on
the situation as I find It In the con
vention and who would be the best
man tor the party to nominate."

SWlRDLICK MAKES GAIN
CANDIDATE JXR BOY MAYOR
GETS BCSY OX HOLIDAY.
Albert AVcller Climbs to Second Place
as Cohen Drops Three Points
in Race for Honors.
Max Swerdlick made a substantial
gain over Dave Cohen yesterday in the
contest for the office of Boy Mayor of
Portland during the Rose Festival, the
count last night showing him to be in
the lead by 335 votes. Albert Weller
climbed to second place. Before vote-getting-
activity started yesterday
morning the two candidates had 244S
votes each.
As Youne Cohen received only ten
votes during the day, it Is evident that
his supporters took advantage of the
holiday and neglected ttielr candidate.
Swerdlick and his cohorts, on the other
hand, kept busy and secured 407 new
votes.
Albert Weller developed surprising
strength during the day by increasing;
his vote from 2044 to 2S43. making him
Just ten votes behind Swerdlick. Many
of the other candidates failed to in
crease their standings, probably on ac
count of the various attractions of the
dny. The prominent candidates declare
that they have hundreds of prospective
votes in "cold storage" and will not use
their reserve until the last few hours
of tiie campaign.
The standing of candidates follows:
Max Sv. crdllck. 2SJ: Albert Weller,
2!43; Dave Cohen, S45S: Jnks, Levin,

'ovlec on Roller Skates Headed To

Saved by Companion.
Two broken bonss In his arm Is the
price Virgil Maheur. 12 years old. resid
ing at 364 Ross street, paid for saving
his little play fellow from probable
serious injury by collision with an
automobile.
Julius Andre, a 10-year-old boy. re
cently acquired a pair of skates and
was industriously trying to learn to
navigate on the wheels Tuesday. He
started down McMillan street, which
has a heavy grade, and his speed In
creased rapidly.
lrgil Maheur happened to be at th
bottom of the hill watching the de
scent of the speeding skater. He also
saw two automobiles coming, in dif
ferent directions, on Benton street and
figured out that the boy had a poor
chance of escaping them. He rushed
out and attempted to catch Andre In
his arms, but the momentum of the
boy on wheels was so great that he
was thrown heavily to the curb while
Andre landed on a grass bank, unin
jured.
Display on Thursday Night of Rose
Week to Eclipse All Others, Says
C. V. Cooper; Plans of For
mation Are Announced.
With more than 200 beautifully il
luminated boats of the larger type in
line, many hundreds of others circling
the larger boats burning red fire and
exploding pyrotechnics, the banks of
the river lined with decorated barges.
I many of the wharfs illuminated and
the bridges brightly outlined with in
candescent globes, the indications are
that the water parade on Thursday
night of the Hose Festival week will
be tha most soertarular affair of the
1 kind ever attempted in Portland.
Plans for this part of the festival
were announced yesterday by C. V.
Cooper, who has been busy for several
weeks getting things In shape for the
display. He declares that he has re
ceived unusually strong support from
boat-owners and expects to present a
parade which will compare favorably
with anything ever attempted on the
Coast. In point of the number of boats
the parade- will be larger by far than
last year and the owners will attempt
to outdo the decorative endeavors of
last year to such an extent that there
will be no comparison between the
beauty of the two parades.
Dny Parade on Monday.
In addition to the night parade.
J which will be featured by decorations
' of lights, fireworks and flags,, a day
' parade will be held Monday morning
i in which the boats will appear in
beautiful costumes of flowers, flags,
; streamers and other decorations. This
' parade will be in honor of Rex Ore
i gonus, who will come up the river
' in the cruiser Maryland, be trans-
ferred to another boat at the Steel
j bridge, and, after viewing the water
front, will be landed at Stark street.
Boats have been divided into three
classes '.'or the pa-ade, each class to be
gnverened by a captain. In class A
will be work boats, in clas B cruisers
and . cabin-boats and In class C open
pleasure boats. The same boats will
take part in both of the parades. Ar
rangements have been made for all the
boats to assemble in the river oppo
site the North Pacific Mill near Swan
Island for the night parade. In the
lead of the night parade will be the
Bay Ocean, according to present ar
rangements, which will carry Governor
West and his staff. Mayor Rushlight
and other city officials and dis
tinguished guests of the affair. The
larger boats will follow the Bay Ocean,
the class B boats next, the class C
boats next and the steamer Bear In
the rear. The Bpar will not go farther
south than the Steel bridge.
The night parade will proceed from
the Broadway bridge south to a buoy
in the river a short distance below
the Hawthorne bridge, thence back to
the Broadway-bridge pier. The day
parade will follow the same course,
but wil) make the trip two, or three
times.
Hone Shower for "King.
In the day parade Rex Oregonus wil
proceed up the river In the cruiser
Maryland to a mooring near the Broadway-bridge
piers, where he will get
onto the Pea Otter, owned by H. C.
Wortman, and proceed at the head
of the parade up and down the river.

THEATRICAL STAB IN WINTER BECOMES NEW JERSEY FARMER
IN SUMMER.

( -W fjC , .ir3r S. SSSSSSSBBBBSSSWasBSSBSSB,
Theatrical star In Winter and farmer
in Summer. Frederick V. Bowers is
taking his first spin in vaudeville prior
to his retirement for the warmer
months on his ranch near Red Bank,
S. J.. where he nurtures prize sweet
potatoes. French bulldogs and Barred
Plymouth Rock chickens.
It is on the farm that Bowers does
most of his composing of popular melodies. With a surrounding of green
fields, soft Summer breezes and barnyard sounds, Mr. Bowers does bis best
work.
Vaudeville held no particular attraction for Mr. Bowers until Alexander
Fantages induced the composer to come westward over the Pantages cir
cuit and this week the former co-star with Mclntyre & Heath is at the
Portland Pantages Theater, supported by Ellas Sapho Weir, a minister's son;
Miss Lillian Broderlck and Soudon II, one of Bowers' string; of blue-ribbon
winners.
Ellas Sapho Weir is the eon of a negro parson at Corinth, Miss., and is
as ineeparable from Mr. Bowers as Soudon IL Not only does he aid Bowers
In the stage work, but he makes an Ideal farmhand and as such holds a
position of no small Importance on the Bowers farm.
Mr. Bowers dislikes the stage. He is there because Mrs. Bowers has to
have new hats and Soudon II needs an occasional new collar. He was tum
bled onto the stage In Infancy and has never been able to rid himself of
the peculiar lure of the footlights.
"Because." "Always." "Oh. Circus Day." "Let's Make Love While .the
Bright Moon Shines" and many other melodies are from the pen of Mr. Bow
era He starred in "My Cinderella Girl," "The Sweetest Girl In Paris" and
his lat Portland visit was in the stellar role of John Cort's production.
"Commencement Days. He played several seasons with Mclntyre & Heath In
"The Ham Tree."
Many old frlendshipa were renewed when Mr. Bowers came West over the
Pantages circuit.
w i ?r tan
THE
oft tic Elgb-Grade
will be showered with roses and other
flowers. He will land at the foot of
Stark street at 12 o'clock noon sharp
and will proceed to the City Hall,
where he will secure the keys to the
city from Mayor Rushlight and return
temporarily to one of the leading ho
tels. The hour for the beginning of
the day parade has not been definitely
decided yet.
Roses and flags are to be the prin,
cipal decorations of the parade. Every
boat is to be loaded down with bloom
Many unique decorative schemes have
been worked out by the various boat-
owners, each striving to make his par
ticular boat an object of particular at
traction. So far about 150 boat-ownera
have designated their intention of en
tering the parade. Additional boats
are being added to the list at the rate
of 10 to 15 a day. It is the opinion of
Mr. Cooper that the total number will
be greater than -00 and may go as
high as 250. This, it is thought, will
make an exceedingly lengthy line and
may necessitate the extension of the
limits north and south.
Foreign Veaacls Id Line.
In addition to the boats In the day
parade will be many large river boats,
the Cruisers Maryland and Boston and
a number of foreign and American sail
ing vessels, which will be decorated
for the occasion.
- The night parade probably will be
the more spectacular of the two. A3
soon as darkness sets in the boats will
assemble in the lower harbor as far
north as Swan Island and will proceed
in order toward thy bridges. Every
boat will be beautifully decorated cith
vari-colored lights, searchlights, red
fire and other decorations. Proceeding
up the river a multitude of small
launches and other classes of boats will
wind their way over the flickering sur
face of the river, burning red fire and
sending up rockets and beautiful fire
works of all kinds. The cruisers Mary
land and Boston will be decorated with
strings of colored lights, flags, stream
ers and red fire, as will also many of
the docks and wharfs along both sides
of the river. The dredges and barges
along the line of march will add their
part to the general display of splen
dor by burning red fire and sending up
fireworks.
Bridges to Figure.
Another pretty feature of the night
parade will be the bridges, which will
be outlined with incandescent globes.
The wiring work has been nearly fin
ished and the probabilities are the
lights will be ready for the first flash
next week.
Mr. Cooper says nothing Is being
overlooked to add to the picturesque
display. He says the boat-owners are
greatly interested in the affair and
have given every assurance of assla-
tance. Among those interested Is the
crew of the fireboat. This was one of
the most beautifully decorated boats
in the parade of last year and effort
will be made to do even better this
year.
