fivcry county of Oregon from Mult
nomah County even to the remotest
corners of the state has given Charles
Evans Hughes a substantial majority
over all other candidates for the Repub
lican nomination for the Presidency.
Returns from yesterday's state-wide
primary election show conclusively that
Justice Hughes is decidedly the choice
of Oregon Republicans for the Chicago
nomination next month. He has more
votes than all the other candidates put
together. Senator Albert B. Cummins,
of Iowa, is runing second, and ex-Senator
Burton, of Ohio, third.-
Roosevelt Vote la Light.
Colonel Roosevelt has received only
a light vote. Hi3 name was written in
on the ballot by supporters in nearly
every county represented in the early
returns.
Justice Hughes has carried every
county that has submitted a report
end by a wide margin.- Returns from
Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Coos. Crook,
Hood River, Jackson. Lane, Lincoln,
Umatilla. Union, Washington and Yam
hill counties, incomplete, give Hughes
1713, Cummin's 630, and Burton 350.
This group of counties, in a general
nay, represents every part of the state.
Justice Hughes took a lead on the
first return that was made and main
tained a proportionate advantage on all
subsequent reports.
Ben TV. Olcott is maintaining a nar
row lead over Charles B. Moores for
the Republican nomination for Secre
tary of State. Incomplete returns from
118 precincts of Multnomah County and
from scattering precincts In 12 up-state
counties give Mr. Olcott 1739 votes to
132-' for Mr. Moores. Mr. Olcott is the
Mr. Buchtel Apparently Safe.
Fred G. Buchtel apparently has been
nominated for the office of Public
Service Commissioner in Western Ore
gon to succeed Thomas K. Campbell,
the incumbent. Partial returns from
13 counties, including Montnomah, give
Mr. Buchtel 1492 votes to 767 for Mr.
Campbell.
i-ix candidates are contesting for the
nomination for Public Service Commis
sioner in Eastern Oregon. It is ap
parent that the Eastern Oregon coun
ties have been loyal to their "favorite
sons," for each candidate seems to have
a big vote In his respective home
county. The returns at midnight, how
ever, were too meager to give a defin
ite idea of how this race will be de
cided. A close race has developed among
the various candidates for delegates to
the Republican National Convention.
Four delegates are to be elected from
a. field of 12 candidates in the state
at large.
C. TV. Fulton Leads Ticket.
Ex-Senator Charles W. Fulton Is
leading the ticket. He has an aggre
gate of 1010 votes on incomplete re
turns from the same set of counties
that have made returns on the presi
dential contest.
George J. Cameron is second with 856
votes; Arthur C. Spencer, of Portland,
is third with 801; Charles H. Carey, of
Portland, fourth with 797. and Daniel
J. Boyd, of Enterprise, fifth with 692.
Russell Hawkins, of Tillamook, who
had for his slogan, "If you don't want
Hughes, don't vote for me." is running
sixth with 615.
It is apparent that Boyd and Haw
kins are running better in the state
at large than In Multnomah County.
IVoman Far Behind.
Boyd and Hawkins, however, are
showing up better in the up-state re
turns than in Multnomah County.
Sam D. Peterson, of Umatilla County,
is seventh with 464.
Charles TV. Ackerson, of Multnomah
County, and F. H. Case, of Benton
County, who had as their slogans
"Roosevelt for President," are eighth
and ninth, with 458 and 423 votes, re
spectively.
Mrs. G. L. Buland. of Portland, the
only woman on the delegates' ticket.

She has an aggregate of 404 votes. Next
in order are Frank M. Warren and J. II.

Suggestion Comes Just After Mr.
TaTt lias Seen Justice Hughes.
Harding Has Other Hopes.
CHICAGO, May 19. (Special.)
"Hughes and Herrick."
"H. and H!" Catchy, isn't It, and easy
to remember. Word of this combina
tion comes to Republican headquarters
in Chicago Just after ex-President Taft
had visited Justice Hughes in Wash
ington and discussed with him his
willingness to accept the Republican
nomination for President.
Mr. Taft and Myron 'T. Herrick, of
Ohio, are close political friends. As
President, Mr. Taft sent Mr. Herrick
to France as Ambassador.
When the "H.-H." combination was
first suggested in the East the name of
Warren G. Harding, United States
Senator from Ohio, formed the tail of
the Presidential kite. Mr. Harding,
who is to deliver the keynote speech
of the convention, declined with thanks.
He, like Senator Sherman, Illinois' fav
orite son. said: "No Vice-Presidency
for me. It must be the Presidency or
nothing."
Mr. Harding, say reports, has hopes
that the keynote speech will have a
ring to it that will stir the convention
to such enthusiasm that the nomina
tion lightning may strike him.
So when Mr. Harding would not let
them use the H In his name to go with
the H in Hughes, they began to look
around for another Republican whose
name etarts with H.
Happy 'thought! There was Herrick.
Fine, said the leaders, Hughes and Her
rick! That's euphonious enough for
any ticket.
BILL TO AID FISHING MEN
Recapture of Industry From Canada
Is Purpose of Measure.
WASHINGTON, May 19. A bill pre
pared at the Department of Commerce
and to be introduced in the House to
day by Majority Leader Kitchin Is de
signed to make possible the recapture
from Canada of a great part of the
North Pacific fishing industry, lost by
American fishermen on account of the
construction of the Grand Trunk Rail
way extension to Prince Rupert last
year and through a subsidy granted the
Industry by the Canadian government.
The measure would require that all
halibut and salmon shipments reach
ing the United States through foreign
territory be shipped in bond. Resi
dents of Ketchikan. Alaska, have urged
such legislation, asserting it will re
Store Ketchikan business lost to the
Grand Trunk terminal town of Prince
Rupert.

LIQUOR LAW. IS INDORSED
Los Angeles Minister, Favored for
Vice-Presidential Nomination,
Gives Talk Advocat
ing Preparedness.
Two Democrats received the indorse
ment of the Prohibition party for Rep
resentatives in Congress when that
party met In nominating convention
yesterday at the Young Men's Christian
Association.
Oswald West, of Portland, was nomi
nated on the Prohibition ticket for
Representative from the Third Con
gressional District and Mark Weather-
ford, of Albany, was nominated from
the First Congressional District.
No statement wasTeceived from Mr.
West, but it was the sense of the con
vention that his position on questions
pertinent to the party were so well
known that no statement was neces
sary. .
Party Principle Accepted.
Mark Weatherford asserted that he
would "accept the principles of the
Prohibition party upon the liquor ques
tion, consider himself the champion of
its cause and the representative of Its
membership," that statement to hold
true In the event of his election. He
also declared that he would not be
"bound by any caucus which attempts
in any way to delay or prevent prohi
bition legislation in the Congress of
the United States."
The platform committee brought in
its report yesterday afternoon . and a
few of the planks Include international
arbitration with decisions of the inter
national court of Justice receiving the
backing of an international police sys
tem, and National woman suffrage. An
alarm was sounded over the Increase in
taxation, but no constructive steps
were advised because it was thought
that ill considered legislation might do
more harm than good.
State Law Indorsed.
The party also heartily endorsed the
present prohibition amendment to the
state constitution, and declared that
'the law should be given a fair trial
and no new legislation, save that to
eliminate the,abuse of the law," should
be enacted.
Almost a complete state ticket was
named by the Prohibitionists.
O. .V. White, of Linn County, was
nominated for Secretary of State; C. J.
Bright, of Wasco, and E. A. Knott, of
Yamhill, were nominated for Supreme
Court Justices; A. G. Rempel, of Polk,
received the nomination for Dairy and
Food Commissioner. The districts did

-icnicnt hy Sir Edward Grey Deny
ing Iesiro to Iestroy German
I'nity One of Straws.
BY FRANCIS W. HIRST,
Editor The Economist, London.
LONDON, May 19. (Special.) Finan
cial circles are talking more about
peace than ever. This may mean much
or nothing. For some reason or other,
perhaps mere instinct, men feel that
the end is not only chronologically but
logically much nearer than it was six
months ago.
A recent interview with Sir Edward
Grey makes approaches easier because
he dismissed as preposterous the Ger
man statement that England is trying
to smash German unity or to prevent
honorablo peace. Nor did he reject
neutral mediation, provided it brought
forward a real basis of settlement,
which would give security against fu
ture aggression.
The French Premier's recent speech
suggests sensational developments.
Meanwhile good stocks of the second
rank are being bought. War costs and
borrowings are too heavy to permit
much more than firmness for Govern
ment securities.
The Imperial $15,000,000 6 per cent
war loan has Just been over-subscribed
in the Malay states, mainly by local
Chinese merchants. This helps Eastern
exchanges and affords eloquent testi
mony of the prosperous loyalty of our
rubber and tin protectorates.
My friend. Professor Miliukoff,- is
cheerful about Russia, but in the finan
cial district there is some uneasiness
over Russian finance. The weakness
of the ruble is due to excessive issues
of paper.

and a telegram was at once dispatched
to him. He met the train upon its ar

Coal Support Promised
in Both Houses.
WASHINGTON. May 19. Secretary
Daniels appealed to President Wilson
today to use his influence to save the
Navy's reserves in the California oil
fields as a vital etep in the campaign
for adequate National defense.
Should the bill, favorably reported by
the Senate public lands comittec, to
legalize certain entries on lands with
drawn by President Taft In 1909, be
come a law. Mr. Wilson was toid. the
Navy must abandon oil as fuel and re
turn to coal, with a consequent loss in
steaming radius and speed to its ships.
Navy engineers have advised the Sec
retary that it would be unsafe to con
tinue construction of oil-burning battle
craft unless an adequate reserve supply
of fuel was in sight.
. TVllaon Studies Summary.
Mr. Daniels submitted a full summary
of the situation and the President be
gan studying the problem immediately,
as the bill probably will be taken up
in the Senate next week.
A delegation of California oil op
eratore headed by ex-Governor Gillett,
of that state, called . on Secretary
Daniels today to talk the situation
over. The conference will be continued,
as no progress was made. It is under
stood, however, that the oil men were
prepared to negotiate for a compromise
bill.
Secretary Daniels already has talked
with many Senators, pointing out the
effect on the Navy if the bill is passed
and has been assured of strong sup
port in his opposition to the measure
in the Senate and the House if the
provisions to which ho objects reach
the conference stage.
Available Supply Insufficient.
The bill in question recently was re

Senator Phelan. of California, as a sub

bill passed by the House. According
to experts of the Navy Department. It
would legalize so many claims within
reserve No. 2, initiated since the Taft
withdrawal, that the remainder would
be virtually worthless to the Navy. In
the other two reserves. No. 1 in Call
fornia. and No. 3 in Wyoming, the de
partment estimates there is available
only a supply sufficient to maintain ih
Navy for 15 years in peace times, or

Britain to allow food supplies to come
through for Luxemburg, as declared
recently in the Luxemburg Diet, on the
contention that Germany should fur
nish th grand duchy with food, inas
much as she had occupied It, has led to
the conclusion of a treaty between
Germany and Luxemburg regarding the
