I. THE MORNING: OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1918. i' i EX-GOVERNOR WEST DUE HERE SHORTLY Former Executive Back From , Europe and Will Leave J for Oregon Today. SOME SPEECHES PLANNED Honor of Election to XT. S. Senate ( Would Be Great, but Former i State Head Prefers to Work for Others. . ' OREGOSIAN XEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Sept. 30. Home from his trip to Europe as a representative of the Shipping Board, Oswald West, former Governor, will leave for Oregon tomor row to wage a more or less active campaign for the Senatorship against Charles L. McNary, whose nomination he so earnestly advocated a few short weeks ago. Mr. West says ha will not spend a cent in the campaign; that he will make a few speeches telling what he learned over in Europe, and do some campaigning for Walter M. Pierce for Governor, but will make no speeches in behalf of his own election for Sen ator. That he Is a hopeful aspirant for the toga, nevertheless, is indicated by his closing remarks in an interview today, when he said: Record Is Well Known. My record as a public official is well known to the people of the state of Oregon, and they have a pretty good idea as to what to expect in the way f service if I were sent to the Senate. I would of course deem it a great honor to be chosen to represent the good people of Oregon in the Senate and would make every effort to prove that their confidence had not been mis placed." Mr. West went to Europe in com pany with Captain K. IX Chamberlain, of the Navy Department, who had been assigned for service with the Shipping Board. Their mission was to study British facilities for handling ship ring, particularly the equipment for loading and unloading ships. They vis ited all the Important ports In England and Scotland and two ports in France. Mr. West's observations convinced him that before the war Great Britain lagged far behind the United States in the use of modern machinery for han dling ocean freight, because the cheap ness of labor there made modern ma chinery unnecessary. Since the begin ning of the war many new contrivances have been adopted, but most of them were already in use in the United States. Much Information Gathered. During his trip Mr. West gathered much information regarding Port im provements, which he will place at the disposal of the Government. At the same time he apparently experienced a diminution of admiration for Senator McNary and a growing esteem for the President. He now speaks in glowing terms of the high regard in which the President is held in Europe and says that in his speeches in Oregon he hopes to "tell the folks at home many things which will strengthen the hands the President in his efforts to bring The war to a successful conclusion." "If my activities are directed along these lines I believe I can render far more service than by campaigning for office," said he. Then he closed the interview with the words quoted above.

'T ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER "There's Nothing Like Tanlacfor Troubles Like Mine," De clares Bishop. "I couldn't ask for more for my money than I have gotten from Tan lac," said John B. Bishop, an employe of the Foundation Shipbuilding Com pany, living at 7131 Thirty-sixth ave nue -Northeast, Portland, while in the Owl DruE Store recently. "My appetite went back on me four years aso," he continued, "and I have not been able to eat a square meal and relish It since that time until now. I simply had to force down what little I did eat and during the past seven or eight months, especially, my stomach has given me a world of trou ble. My food would nearly always sour and form pas, which would press on my neart, causing palpitation and short ness of breath. 1 always felt exhausted after my day's work. In fact. I was tired all the time, had very little strength and energy and simply had to drag myself around. I lost several pounds in weight and seemed to be on the down grade all the time. "1 have been trying all these years to find something to set me right, and Tanlac is the only thing I have been able to get to reach my case. It is cer tainly without an equal and now I know what I read about it is the truth. I cat like a pig. nothing hurts me in the least and. I simply feel like a new man. My appetite is wonderful and I never feel any sign of gas, indigestion or shortness of breath. I have gotten back all my old-time energy and now I can work all day and still feel fine. I must say there's nothing like Tanlac for people suffering from any sort of stomach trouble." Tanlac Is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co.

Crowds that over flowed the theater out upon the side walk and down Park street attracted much attention on both days. The production, made by a company organized by Smith, is based on the clergyman's crusade against the notori ous Barbary Coast, and earned for him the title, "the man who painted San Francisco's red lights white."

Investigation always shows that the "stolen" checks have been forged and cashed and the shipyards then issue duplicate checks to the em ployes. One business man reported to the District Attorney's office that many of the retail stores of the city are now refusing to cash the paychecks of shipyard workers because of the numerous forgeries which have been perpetrated during recent weeks.

VACANCY IN SENATE RRINGS OUT GOSSIP Phil Metschan. Jr., Sanderson Reed and John H. Burgard Mentioned for Place. FARRELL ASKS PRESIDENCY Senators V. T. Vinton and B. 1 Eddy Are Candidates for Leader ship; Last Week In Which to Register for Election. W'ith the appointment to the Oregon Supreme Court of Conrad P. Olson a vacancy in the State Senate has been created and possible candidates for the Place already are being discussed. Jus tice Olson was a holdover Senator from Multnomah County and the existing vacancy is for his unexpired term. three names for the place are already ucing mentioned. They are Phil Met scnan. Jr., John II. Burgard and San derson Reed, -all of them well known. Mr. Metschan has not only been prom inent as a hotel proprietor, but is In terested In state and city affairs, hii recent activities including a director ship in the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association. Mr. Burgard Is a prominent Insur ance man and has extensive business interests. He formerly served in the i-oriiana city Council. .Mr. Reed, a lawyer, was a randi- aaie in me primaries, but failed to obtain a nomination. Since it has been Known that Justice Olson had left vacancy, Mr. Reed's name has been fre quently mentioned as a prospective contender. To be elected to the State Senate for Olson's place It will be necessary to write in the name of a candidate on th ballot. It Is too late to go on the bal ot by petition, and the Krnublican County Central Committee Is not em powered to make a nomination, as Ol son was not a candidate. The committee can only fill a vacancy on the nartv icket when It is caused by death, resig nation or removal from the district. Members of the County Central Com mittee have discussed the situation in formally and it has been suggested that possibly the committee might make a recommendation, but nothing official has been done. The committee may meet sometime next week. Among other things caused bv Justice Olson's appointment is his elimination from the contest for President of the Senate. Coincident with the appoint ment Senator Robert S. Farrell be came an avowed candidate for the presidency. Senator Farrell has been four sessions in the Senate and two sessions in the House. Twice he was elected to the Senate leading his ticket. Senator W. T. Vintoa and Sena tor B. L. Eddy are also candidates for the presidency and there may be one or two others in the field after the No vember election. When the time comes. Justice Olson will ask that his name be written on the ballot at the special election for Justice of the Supreme Court. This is the way the election will have to be carried on for that position. Whether Justice Olson will have opposition or not is a matter of speculation. The name most prominently mentioned as a possible candidate Is Judge J. S. Coke, of Coos Bay. but Judge Coke has given nn intimation as to his rourse of action, although scores of citizens have been importuning him to enter the race.
