THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919. 13 DEMOCRATS LEFT OUT I NEWS NOTES FROM THE CAPITOL OF WILSON WELCOME Colonel Miller, Party Warhorse, Not on Reception Committee. MYERS LOSES "AUTO RACE" Postmaster Vainly Tries to Beat Way Farther Cp the Presidential Parade on Highway. Unanimous approval of the conduct of President Wilson's recent visit to Portland is being withheld by some of the local democrats- Oswald West, as general chairman of the affair, ap pears to have rather overlooked some democrats who are "ferninst" Senator George E. Chamberlain. For Instance, Mrs. Alexander Thomp son, who attacked Chamberlain in a speech while praising Wilson during the Hreilig meeting, when the chairman of the democratic national committee was in the city, was not on the reception committee. Neither was Colonel Rob ert A. Miller, a democratic warhorse, who is in with the anti-Chamberlain faction on the reception committee. Nor was the colonel Invited to the luncheon at the Hotel Portland, a slight which has cut Colonel Miller deeply in view of his services to the party and his long presidency of the Jackson club Andrew, not C. S.). V. S. Myerm Quits "Auto Racing;." And then there was. the little inti mate dinner in the evening when less than half a dozen 100 per cent Wilson democrats sat down with the presi dent's alter eso, Joe Tumulty. Not one f the democrats who have considered themselves as the defenders of the ad ministration and the open enemies of Senator Chamberlain were asked to eat Bait at this auspicious event. Then there was the little matter of Frank S. Myers, postmaster, who never, somehow, managed to get within gun shot of Mr. Wilson, nor within shout ing distance of the private secretary. The day was not auspicious for the postmaster. In the first place, he was assigned a post in the automobile pa rade which was nowhere near the pres idential car. Once out on the highway the postmaster endeavored to over come this disadvantage. He drove his car rapidly and wove in and out of the line of machines ahead of him in the desire to get as close up as possible. And after passing one car once and later trying to pass this same car again, the driver turned to the post master and warned him that if the sec ond attempt was made he would put Mr. Myers' car in the ditch. Postmaster Letter Ielayed. Nor was that all. The presidential mail had been directed to and delivered at the Hotel Portland. The post master went to the desk and demanded that this mail be turned over to him as he intended presenting it personally. He received the mail, but failed to carry it to Mr. Wilson. Always there was an obstruction when the postmaster tried to connect with the real people in the presiden tial party. He finally handed the president's stenographer a letter for Secretary Tumulty, with the demand that it be delivered immediately. May be the stenographer had a lapse of memory, but anyway, the letter was not handed to Tumulty until the party was on its way to San Francisco. Breach Not So Wide. Also there was a discreet . inquiry ' or two from members of the party as to what Portland people think of the postmaster. And also this is stable information right out of the horse's nosebag it was said that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Chamberlain are not so much at "outs" as they were several months ago.' This information may have had something to do with the careless ness of someone in. failing to appoint on the reception committee certain of the anti-Chamberlain democrats. On the other hand, people in the hotel lobby saw Secretary Tumulty hold interviews with federal office holders who have managed to shout for Wilson and for Chamberlain in the same breath.
