' A copy of President Wilson's procla
mation pleading for support from the
people in the promotion of thrift and
appealing to every man, woman and
child In the United States to buy war
savings stamps on or before June 28.
the day set for the, opening of a Na
. tional drive, was received by telegraph
at the Portland headquarters of the
war savings stamps committee yester
day. "I appeal to all who now own either
' liberty bonds or war savings stamps to
continue to practice economy and
thrift." states the proclamation, "and to
appeal to all who do not own Govern
ment securities to do likewise and pur
chase them to the extent of their
means. The man- who buys Govern
ment securities transfers the purchas
ing power of his money to the United
States Government until after this war
and to that -same degree does not buy
in competition with the Government.
i , earnestly appeal to every . man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before the twenty-eightn" to save
constantly and to buy as regularly as
possible the securities of the Govern
merit, and to do this as far as possible
through membership In war eavings
eocieties. June 28 ends this special
penoa or enlistment in the tiovern
ment volunteer army of production and
saving here at home. May there be
none who .is not enlisted on that day,
Economy I Necessary. .
The President explains that all of
the 100,000,000 people in the . United
States must be economically and indus
trially adjusted to the war conditions
If this nation Is to play its full part
in tne connict. The problem confront
ing the Government is not. primarily
one oi nnance, but rather one of in
creasing war essentials and the sav
Ings of the materials- and labor neces
sary for the support and equipment of
.tne Army and isavy.
"Thoughtless . expenditure ' of money
for non-essentials uses up the labor of
men, the products of the farm, mines
and ' factories and overburdens trans-
portation, all of which must be used
to the utmost and at their best for
war purposes," continues the procla
mation. "The great results which we
seek can be obtained only by the par
ticipation of every member of the Na
' tion, young or old. in a National con
certed thrift movement." .
As evidence of their loyalty, people
are urged to invest all they can save
in liberty bonds and war savings
stamps. . In order to save. President
Wilson suggests that the people every
wnere pledge -themselves to practice
thrift, increase the production of the
fields, conserve food and fuel and use
' ful materials of every kind, devote
their labor to only necessary tasks and
buy only those things which are es
sential to individual health and ef
ficiency.
Thrift Is Virtue.
"To practise, thrift in times of peace
Is a virtue." - continues the President,
' and it brings great benefits to the
, Individual at all times; with the des
perate need of the civilized world to'
day . for materials and labor with which
to end the war, the practice of thrift
now is a patriotic duty and a neces-
. eiry."
At me state conrerence or war
eavings stamps-workers and committee
chairmen held at the Elks' Tejnple here
last ' Wednesday, announcement was
made that the President would issue
. proclamation -designating June 28
the date for the big thrift stamp cam
paign, but it was not supposed that
the statement of the President would
come as quickly as it did. Every news
paper in Oregon will be asked to direct
the attention of its readers to the id
peal of the President on thrift, joining
the ' savings societies and purchasing
. tne stamps. . ' .
The proclamation is the first govern
mental declaration leading up to the
whirlwind campaign to dispose of the
stamps. It i3 hoped that. Oregon
share, $17,600,000, with the exception
of the Multnomah County quota, will
bo raised In half an hour on that date.
That county will require a house-to
house canvass and the entire day will
probably pass before the fullmoun
Jnnknirn to Aid.
A new method, of disposing of th
war savings stamps was brought to
light yesterday when Sam A. Mesher,
representing the Junk Dealers' Union,
appeared at war savings stamps head
quarters and applied in the interests o
the organization for a license as sales
man. Junkmen start out each day with
$20 and try to purchase junk from
housewives and storekeepers to th
extent. Hereafter they intend carrvin
$15 in change and $5 in stamps and o
every purchase they propose to ask th
customer to accept one-fourth or more
of the sum to be collected in stamps,
The members of the union believe that
they will be able to dispose of about
165 in stamps daily by this means.
Bishop Sumner will address a meet
Ing of all the members of ttfe Portlan
Federation of Women's Clubs at the
Central Library at 2 o'clock this after
noon, and will issue instructions as to
how everyone can make the war sav
ings stamp drive of June 28 a success.
...
Women to Help.
The fact that men alone cannot han
dle various war activities without he
aid of patriotic women has been, duly
recognized by the drive committee and
as a result thousands of women will
be required. The success of the house-to-house
canvass will practically - de
pend on the aid given the movement by
the women and since the Portland Fed
eration of Women's Clubs has its con
stituents in all parts of the city and is
probably the largest organization of.
women in the city, it Is the desire to in
terest the members in the war savings
tamp drive.
According to plans, the women, with
the aid of some men, of course, will
canvass the entire business and resi-
ential districts of the city. The plans
call for teams of women in every pre-
inct, several teams being needed for
each precinct to cover it within a few
hours.
Bishop Sumner will give a detailed
account of the history of the thrift
tickers, will tell of the vital necessity
for them and will explain to the mem
bers their part in the drive here.
The meeting at the Library today is
not limited to clubs belonging to the
federation and it is urged that every
society of women in the city be repre-
ented as fully as possible, even in
cluding those clubs which, have ad-
ourned for the Summer.

Lockwood Club Charges That 25 Per
Cent of Day Candidates Are
Disqualified From Serving.
- Meeting Is Called.
In their efforts to defeat the re
election of John L. Day, chairman of
the Multnomah County Republican Cen
tral Committee, opponents of Mr. Day
at the meeting of the committee next
Tuesday night will seek to prevent the
seating of a number of the newly-elect
ed precinct committeemen as members
of the committee on the grounds that
they are disqualified and ineligible.
either by residence or failure to reg
ister. from serving under the law.
The anti-Day crowd charges that the
great majority of these disqualified
committeemen were induced to become
candidates by Day and his friends and
were elected for the single purpose of
suDDOrting the present county chair
man for re-election.
Active in their opposition to Day are
Charles E. Lockwood. secretary of the
Republican Club of Oregon, and Ferdi
nand E. Reed, both of whom caused I
number of candidates to file for pre
cinct committeemen who were un
friendly to Day. The opposition also
Includes an element that considers Day
is getting a little too strong politically.
Still others included In the opposition
are those Republicans who resented
the activity of Day operating through
the Radiators, a secret political organl
zation, which cut some figure in the
last two elections in this county. They
are all out after Day's scalp. Most of
them are supporting James D. Abbott
for county chairman, but they would be
satisfied with anybody but Day.
3Iany Are Disqualified.
In a report made yesterday a com
mittee appointed from the Lockwood
Club makes the charge that 25 per
cent of the so-called Day candidates
elected on the county committee are
disqualified from serving from- the
fact that they do not reside in the
precinct from which they were elected
or are not registered members of the
party they seek to represent. This
committee even alleges that three of
these precinct committeemen are actu
ally registered as Democrats. In its
report this Committee ' said:
The Multnomah County Republican
Central Committee, of those members
who were filed by what is known as
the Amldon-Lay-Radlator ring, some
250 odd in number, appear, after a ca-e-ful
checking over the list, contain
among the number apparently elected
three registered as Democrats, 23 not
registered in precinct, 13 registered in
wrong, precinct, five not living in pre
cinct in which elected, and 45 holding
appointive .public positions and,' there
fore, ineligible to serve as members
of party committee under section 3506
of the Oregon code." ,.
Law In Mde Plain..
' "The law requires that the party com
mitteeman, in order to be eligible to
serve on the party committee, must
be a member of that party. He says in
his declaration when filing, that 'I am
a duly registered member . of the Re
publican party residing .in that pre
cinct.' The law specifically requires
that he must be a resident of that
precinct; and residence is defined, in
the case of a married man, where his
wife sleeps. From a careful examina
tion of the lists of the Republican com
mittee in the County Clerk's office, it
appears that about 89, or about one
fourth of the committeemen-elect are
Ineligible1 under the law to serve on
the committee.
"It is due to the remaining, duly
qualified members of the committee, to
the- Republican party in this county
and state and to the due. observance of
law and justice, that at the meeting of
this committee, called for next Tues
day - night ' at the Library Hall.' the
committee be purged of its disqualified
and ineligible members..
Camouflage Is Charged.
Neither are the opponents of Day
convinced of the genuineness of the
candidacy of Professor E. H. Whitney
for secretary of the committee to sue
ceed Elmer L. Amidon. They charge
that the professor's candidacy Is merely
a bit of political camouflage and th
at the proper time the game is for
Whitney to step aside and then the
Day crowd will slip his running mate
Amidon. into the secretaryship for an
other two years. Day's friends, on the
contrary, positively assert that Amidon
will not be a candidate.
Asked for a statement last night, Mr
Day said:
T am gratified that any opposition to
my candidacy for rc-eleetion should be
Ferdinand E. Reed." ,
But there is one thing reasonably
certain, rtegaraiess or tne outcome.
