THE MORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1916. BLOW-UP DUE WHEN POLITICAL GOSSIP Charles H. Stafford-Principal of Woodlawn School, Announces Candidacy for County School Superintendent Frank S.

FRANK ARRIVES Tension Results From Effort to Pick Grants Pass Plum for Kinsman. EFFORTS SET AT NAUGHT Metaphorical Beans Spilled IVben Protestants Show Candidate' Conversion to Party Is for Office-Seeking Purposes. Something- is likely to explode when the Honorable Frank Stott Myers, Portland postmaster, gets back home some time this week from that pleas-1 cni'1jrgn nt little "vacation trip" to Washing- i Hj3 tj CHARLES H. STAFFORD, principal of the Woodlawn School in Port land and well known as an edu cator, announced his candidacy yester day for the Republican nomination for County School Superintendent. "I believe in putting regular school work first, with main attention to the fundamentals." he says, in his state ment of candidacy. "I have taken a deep interest, . however, in manual training, domestic science and school gardens. I have always considered the most important duty of a principal or superintendent that of influencing the morals and character of the pupils by personal contact. If nominated and elected, I pledge the same grade of work as County Superintendent that I have given the people In my eight years of service as principal in the Portland schools." Although he has made his own way since he was 9 years old, Mr. Stafford has obtained a high school, normal and college education. He holds a teach er's life diploma in Oregon, awarded him after examination. Mr. Stafford is .19 years old, married and has two ton, where Senator Harry Lane, wh gave his ex-campaign manager h present 16000 a year job as postmaster, received him so warmly the Senato as Is well known, being a warm-tem pered man. Perhaps the exploding will be done by the Honorable Frank, who is un doubtedly In an explosive mood by this time, and perhaps it will be done by other Oregon Democrats who have been following with intense interest his misadventures in trying to get rel atives appointed to other fat post office jobs. Some of them have done a little ex ploding already, to be really explicit. In fact it was the echoes from these at first localized explosions that final ly aroused Senator Lane to the fact that the activities of his ex-campaign manager as boss and would-be nepotls naa caused two political enemies to bloom for the Senator where one friend had blossomed before. ' And there is still quite a bit of expiosiveness left in their systems. Grant Pass Incident Rankles. The situation at Forest Grove, where the Honorable Frank sousrht so earn estly to have his sister, Miss Minnie Myers, appointed postmaster, caused a considerable ruction. But the to-do there was as nothing to the loud cries and piercing shrieks that arose when he tried to put over the appointmen of a relative by marriage at Grants 1 ass, one of the best paying postof iices in tne state. The situation there arose about in this manner: Something more than a year ago the Honorable Frank broached the subject r going out lor the Grants Pass post masiersnip 10 nis brother-in-law. George II. Parker, with the backing, or course, or the Honorable Frank Now Mr. Parker was a Republican, But the Honorable Frank, so the story goes, wanted to know if he couldn' become a good enough Democrat to fill tho position. The reply of Mr. Parker is not or record. However, he is an elderly man and it appeared likely that bis appointment would meet with much opposition. Now comes on the scene one E. S. catch, son-in-law of Mr. Parker, th brother-in-law of the Honorable Frank;- One of the family, so to speak. Mr. Veatch had lived in Grants Pass 10 or 12 years and had been a Repub lican, and so registered during that time. He served a term as deputy County Clerk for Josephine County under S. F. Chesire, a Republican Clerk, and was himself an unsuccess ful candidate for the Republican nomi nation for County Clerk two years ago. Mr. Veatch Turns Democrat. However that may be. Mr. Veatch, son-in-law of the brother-in-law of the Honorable Frank, one of the fam ily, y know, was indorsed for the post mastership of Grants Pass, a neat lit' tie job paying at least J3000 a year, by me Honorable Frank. And curiously enough, about then or thereabouts Mr. veatch became noted for his staunch Democracy. He a Re publican? Oh, once upon a time, per haps, but not any more. He was Democrat now, and he'd voted for Woodrow Wilson, too, by heck! or words to that effect. In the meantime there had been some hitch in affairs at Washington. senator i;namDeriain, it appears, was not altogether favorably impressed by the activities in bosslfying displayed by the Honorable Frank. However, as there are other Veatchs in Southern Oregon who are good Democrats, Sen ator Chamberlain, so the story goes. finally sent word that he would not oppose Mr. Veatch s confirmation. Then Came Explosion No, X. The Honorable Frank, of course, had not anticipated any difficulty with Senator Lane and didn't have any. the Senator's information at that time not being as complete as it is today. Anyway, when news reached Grants Pass that Senator Chamberlain was favorable to the confirmation of Mr. Veatch as postmaster there was a gen eral gnashing of teeth and a sound of violent execration. In the hubbub somebody lit the fuse, and Explosion Xo. 1 occurred with a loud detonation. Other candidates for the office were W. II. Patlllo, understood to have had the backing of William J. Bryan; T. T. Dean, W. P. Quinlan, W. J. Mahoney, Miss Minnie Ireland, J. A. Stover, Burns Gillette, Ross Bailey and F. E. Hall, all Democrats. Several of these candidates banded together and one of them, understood to have been Mr. Gillette, came to Portland to see prominent Democrats here as to what could be done. The uphot of it was that, representing himself, Mr. Dean and Mr. Hall, Mr. Gillette sent a burning message to Senator Chamberlain at Washington to the effeet that Mr. Veatch, the Hon- V. 1 T.".. 1 . ' t . - . teaching experience consists of six years in the rural schools and four years in the high schools of Illinois, the state where he was born and edu cated, and nine years as principal of grammar schools, eight of them passed in Portland. Mr. Stafford has been principal here of three of the largest schools in the city, the Glencoe, Creston and Wood lawn schools. He is now serving his third year as principal at Woodlawn. C. L. McKenna, a former candidate for Mayor of Portland, is discussed as a Democratic possibility to make the race for Representative in Congress from the Third District against the Re publican choice. At-the same time, the name of ex-Governor West will not down. Though he denies his intention of running, many Democrats say he is quite likely to get Into the race. Frank S. Grant, who has Just an nounced his candidacy for the Repub lican nomination for Judge of Depart ment No. 5, of the Circuit Court, as city attorney from 1911 to 1913 handled some of the iriost important litigation which the citv has been involved. He carried two such cases to the United States Supreme Court and won them both.

If I he announces his candidacy, it probab ly will be for one of the two delegates to be elected from the Third Congres sional District. The Woodrow Wilson League of Port land has sent a message to President I Wilson, commending his position rela tive to warning United States citizens not to travel on armed merchantmen as outlined in his letter to Senator Stone. TP .m Pass. Details spread over Southern Oregofi generally. Among the faith ful a lajttincr bitterness was engen dered. Aside from the interference ofj the Honorable Frank, his well-known ambitions to boss the party in the state were deeply unappreciated. Even Judge Hamilton, of Roseburg, one of the most prominent Democrats of the state. Is understood to have had part in some of the protests. If the judge did not protest publicly, he made no secret privately of his lack of regard for the Honorable Frank and his methods. There'll probably be an explosion, as aforesaid, when the Honorable Frank returns. Anyone who would like to precipitate it is kindly invited to say genially, "Hullo, Boss, to the Honor able Frank.

SOCIALIST LECTURER SAYS BOMB- THROWING NOT PART OF CREED. Red Terror la Ridiculed by Jack Brltt Gearity, Who Declares Evolution Will Do All That Is Needed. Socialism swung on anarchy at Arion Hall last night. Before an applauding audience of 200 Socialists, Jack Britt Gearity counted the "red terror" sat isfactorily out. The meeting was one of the Sunday ecture series, held at Socialist head quarters. Second and Oak streets. under the auspices of the Socialist cen tral committee of Portland. 'Is bomb-throwing part of the recog nized anarchistic programme?" Mr. Gearity was asked. "And are you an anarchist?" I am not," was the smiling reply. and neither are violence and bomb- throwing parts of the anarchistic phll- sophy. The speaker did not neglect a fling at the press. "Whenever there Is a bridge-blowing, or outrage of that sort, the press and the police agree to harge it to anarchy, or direct action," was the statement. Three schools of anarchy, the indi vidualists, the collectivists and the communists, . were regarded with al most equal ridicule by Mr. Gearity. Anarchism is the rising in revolt against that which is doomed to die the natural course of evolution." I was the speaker's final summing up, It is futile."

W. Don nell. Republican incumbent, left in office. It also developed that some sort of an agreement had been reached rela tive to the postmastership by Brother-in-law Parker and Son-in-law Veatch. Details of this agreement have been kept secret, though subject to much gossip. Real Democrat Demanded. Appointment of any one of the Dem ocrats on the list, they said, would satisfy them, but they would not and could not stomach the appointment of Veatch and the bossism of the Honor able Frank, or words to that general trend and effect. That was not all. Other of the can didates and their friends wrote per sonal letters to the Senators. These letters did not spare the Honorable Frank. And the upshot of it was that a great light suddenly shone in Wash ington, the candidacy of Mr. Veatch for the postmastership was hurriedly yanked back, and over the protests and wails of the Honorable Frank, who contended that Senator Chamberlain was "slipping something over" on Sen ator Lane, both Senators indorsed Mr. Quinlan. He was nominated and con firmed. Th affair didn't stop at Grants, NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Prominent women representing all parts of the country have been appointed members of a special committee to organize the campaign undertaken by the National Housewives' League to build up the health of the Nation through proper feeding, as its contribution to the pre paredness movement, it was announced here tonight. The committee is charged with the duty of arousing women to the need of studying the question of nutrition and applying yie knowledge obtained to the members of their own family. Every woman's organization in the country will be urged to take up the propaganda. "If we ever have a war we cannot fight with anemics and dyspeptics," says a statement Issued by the league.

More launching and boating parties were out on the river yesterday than on any previous day this year, the upper harbor particularly being dotted with the pleasure craft. The unusually warm weather and the splendid condi tion of the water drew many out to dare the brisk breeze. There were launches, rowboats, ca noes, scows, tubs and craft of every description.

The leader of the day was John A. Lee. The trampers then paid a visit to Blasted Butte, after which they returned to Portland through Macleay Park. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. Feb. 27.
