TIIE HORNING. OREGOXIA THURSDAY, JANUARY 2T, 1916. 4 REPUBLICAN CLUB ORGANIZES TONIGHT Every Indication - Is for At tendance Larger Than at . Previous Meeting: MASONIC TEMPLE IS PLACE I.lrcly Contest in Prospect for the Presidency and for Control of Permanent Organization 'Which Is to lie Perfected, . Termannt organization of the new Oregon Republican Club, which was launched last Thursday night at a mass meeting held in response to m. call signed by approximately 600 Republicans- of Portland, is to be effected at a meeting in the Masonic Temple. West Park and Yamhill streets, at 8 o'clock tonight. ' Charles A. Johns, temporary presi dent of the club, announced last night that the place of meeting had been changed from the assembly hall of the Central Library, as originally selected, to the Masonic Temple so that every body who attends may be sure of a scat. Large as it is, the big Library assem My hall was too small tor last Thurs- day s opening crowd. Ana mere i every indication that tonight's attend anrr will be considerably larger. This is assured, for one thing, by th certainty that there will be multiplicity of candidates for perma ' nent president of the new or;;anlza- tion. It is likewise pretty certain that there will be an extremely lively sea sion. with plenty of spirited campaign ing In behalf of each candidate by his friends. The present temporary officers, se lecteci at last Thursday's meeting, are Charles A. Johns, president, and John Y. Richardson. The main fight to night will develop over the permanent presidency. Mr. Johns will seek to. have his temDOrary position made pcrmanen and he commands much" strength. So does George Arthur Brown, ex-state chairman for the Progressive party in Oregon, his opponent last week for the temporary chairmanship, who musterea 0 votes to 106 for Mr. Johns in their nrellminary test of strength. William A. Carter, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Gover nor two years ago. is another presi dential possibility to be reckoned with, Friends of Hamilton Johnstone have urged his name for the presidency of the club, others of his Irtenas. now ever, consider him so adapted for one of the legislative places from thi county that he should remain out of tonight's contest. One of the by-laws of the club provides that no office holder or candidate for office may hold office in the organization. An active coterie of friends of John McCourt. ex-United States Attorney for Oregon, are discussing his availability as a compromise candidate who would be acceptable to all concerned. Mr. McCourt was appointed I'nlted States Attorney In 1909 by President Roose velt. serving until 1913. Kor secretary there does not appear to be any decided opposition to mak ing Mr. Richardson's position perma nent. Other oflcers to e elected include two vice-presidents, treasurer, assist ant secretory, and eifiht members of the executive committee, all to be chosen by the club at large. t'nder the constitution adopted for the club at its first meeting any per son Is eligible to membership in it who is interested in Republican success. This includes women as well as men, and many women are expected to bo- pres ent tonight. The Woodrow Wilson League held a meeting last night In the assembly hall of the Central Library, at which W. T. Poster, president of Reed College, was the speaker. Professor Foster praised President Wilson and his policies, with the exception of his preparedness pro gramme. He paid his respects wtth tome ' severity to advocates of pre paredness. "From coast to coast attempts are made to carry through the armament programme by appeals to fear, passion. prejudice, sentiment and race hatred. he said in part. "Appeals to reason are less frequent. The motion picture film called 'The Battle Cry of Peace" Is typical of thi richly financed move ment to aggravate our National hys teria and gain action through arousing emotions contrary to the dictates of reason. Aotning more pernicious has appeared of late on the motion picture screen, and that is saying a good deal. $200,000 GIVEN . IN NIGHT San "l'raneiscans Open Purses for - ' Suffering Jews.'
