Hart Is a Westerner in "Between

Services In Uniting Voters of Two
Factions in State in 1916 Recog
nisedStatement Is Issued
Giving Leaders' Views.
Former leading Oregon Progressives,
In a formal statement to the Republican
voters of the state, unqualifiedly In
dorse the candidacy of Ralph E. Will-
lams, Republican National Committee
man, who is a candidate to succeed
himself in the coming primary election.
Among those sliming the indorsement
are Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, Progressive
National Committeeman for Oregon,
and Thomas H. Neuhausen, ex-chair-
an of the State Progressive party.
These ex-Progressives base their in
dorsement of Mr. Williams in recogni
tion of his services in amalgamating
the Republican and Progressive voters
of the state in 1SUS with the result
that the state was carried by Hughes.
They further feel that Mr. Williams is
the man best fitted to continue In the
position he now occupies if the har
mony desired by Republicans and for
mer progressives alike Is to be per
petuated.
Tribute Paid to Williams.
The statement Issued by former Pro
gressives indorsing Mr. Williams' can
didacy follows
To the Republican Voters of Oregon:
"We, the undersigned, all formerly
Progressives and now registered Re
publicans, wish to add our endorsement
lo the candidacy of Ralph K. Williams,
of Portland, for re-olertion on May 17
to the position of Republican National
Committeeman. We endorse his candl
dacy for the following definite reasons:
"In the first place. It Sir. Williams
had not Invited and encouraged the
Progressives to join with the Rcpub
licans of this state In 1316 there would
have been no active co-opcratlon be
tween the two forces and Oregon would
undoubtedly have been lost to the Re?
publican cause. Mr. illiams advo-
ated the adoption by the Republican
National Committee of a similar pro
gramme of amalgamation and co-operative
action In the other states. If his
suggestions concerning California and
Washington had been followed those
I two statcs would also have been found
in Ihe ltepuhlican column after the
.National election.
Spirit of laity Promoted.
Mr. Williams' attitude of fricndll
neHs toward Colonel Roosevelt is pen
erally known to Republican leaders
throughout this country and slate. The
same spirit ot unity wnich Jur. vvtu

strove successfully to brinK about at

The story concerns Molly Thornhill,

The play opens at a house 'party
scene, where the guests are rehearsing
for an amateur play. Sam Is one or tne
guests. Molly, seeking a reconcilia
tion, appearspn the scene, pretending
that her car has broken down and
seeking shelter over Bight. Major
Baenal. a former suitor of Molly's, is
also one of the guests, and so is his
fiancee.
Molly isn't particularly welcome, hut
in triven food and shelter, the shelter
consisting of Major Bagnal's bedcham
ber, the Major supposed to nave ten
for London on an early train. The pro-
verbial slip between the train ana tne

turns to the house and, finding it
wraDDed In darkness, enters his bed

Conditions in Asia Minor Reported
More Critical Now Than Some

Grants of (400,000 bi-monthly by the
American Red Cross to the American

Northwest division to the Portland
chapter.
That three payments totaling (1,200,

asserted.
Four hundred thousand dollars was
appropriated in February to cover the
months of February and March, and
another 1400,000 has been made avail
able to meet the payments of April and
May.
Conditions in Asia Minor described
in reports Just forwarded by the Amer

at the time the first contribution was
voted by the War Council.
The demobilization ot the Russian
armies in the Caucasus, resulting in the
Turkish advance, has threatened the
safety of the whole Armenian race. It
is stated, however, that relief in Ar
