In confirmation of the general ex pectation that he would become a candidate for the office of United States senator, Robert N. Stanfield, former speaker of the Oregon legisla ture, yesterday announced his candi dacy for the republican senatorial nomination. If nominated at the pri mary on May 21.

Mr stanfield's name will appear on the ballot as a resident of Multnomah county, as his home is In Portland and he is registered here as a voter. In announcing his candidacy last night Mr. Stanfield Bald: "In aspiring to the senatprship 1 feel much em ourajfed by the tuct that it is generally acknowledged that this is a republican year. All signs point to the election of a republican president. The strongest evidence of this Is supplied by the democrats themselves, who are so sure the coun try wants a republican administra tion that they are preparing to. sup ply this long-felt want themselves by nominating a republican as the presi dentiai candidate of the democratic party. "Serious economic problems are confronting our European allies ana the United States must do Its share to solve them. There Is a gener public belief that a republican admin istration will be better equipped than the democrnts to handle these busi ness problems. State's Itreord Cited. Oregon Is a republican state. was demonstrated anew by her vote In the presidential election of 191S and a republican state should be rep respntcd at Washington by republican senators. It Is a poor rule that does not work both ways. If it is true that a democratic administration nat- craiiy favors democratic senators, then it mnst be equally true that re publican senators will be able t on- tain greater consideration tor their state from a republican national ad ministration. xiregon is just entering upon a new era of development and will re quire the constant efforts of the en tire Oregon delegation at Washington in order to be assured of proper fed era! support of the state's enterprises. with two republican senators the Oregon delegation In congress would be In a position to demand from a republican national administration everything that the state is entitled to. Oregon Is Interested in legisla tion for the welfare of the service men. In projects for the reclamation of her arid lands and the cultivation of her cutover lands, as well as In fhe expansion of the livestock and mining Industries. There Is a national educational programme which must receive careful consideration. Fed eral aid for highways Is also neces sary. Senator SIcXary has devoted much time and attention to these vitally important matters and. thanks to his energy and tact, has made ex cellent progress. If nominated and elected I should aim to co-operate with him to the fullest extent In this work fcr the welfare of our native state. Faith la Portland Firm. "T am a firm believer In Portland's destiny and have backed up my judg ment of her future by Investing In Portland real estate and by estab lishing my home here. Portland will some day be a great port and I hope by my efforts in the senate, tf I am nominated and elected, to contribute measurably to the plan for the expan sion of her ocean-borre commerce. "The public Is entitled to know the views of a candidate for office rela tive to outstanding questions of pub lic moment, and I shall therefore shortly Issue a statement setting rorth In some detail my views on cur rent Issues." Speaking or the plana for his cam paign for the republican nomination Mr. Stanfield said last night that his campaign would be conducted by a statewide advisory committee under the direction of T B. Neuhausen ot Portland. Headquarters will be In the Northwestern National Bank building. When Interviewed last evening Mr. Neuhausen stated that the idea of or ganizing a statewide advisory com mittee for Mr. Stanfield's campaigu arose from the fact that so many friends of the candidate have volun teered their services in an advisory capacity. By selecting men and women of wide acquaintance in dif ferent parts of the state, Mr. Neu hausen pointed out. a well organized campaign can be carried on in the . several counties. It is the intention to appoint to this committee only such men and women as are earnest work ers, with Influential standing In their respective communities, and who will wlllineiy assume the responsibilltv 1 '4t iii & . - x t 11 III 1 . .

Referring to the republican primary election of 1918. which resulted In the nomination of Senator Charles L. Mc Nary, Mr. Neuhausen said: "Everybody likes a game loser and republicans were delighted with the good sportsmanship displayed by Mr. Stanfield when he vtelegraphed Sen ator Mcrary tne day alter tne pri mary pledging his unqualified sup port for the general election." The story of the rise of Robert N. Stanfield from farmer boy to leading wool-grower of the United States forms one of the most interesting chapters in the history of America's self-made men. A native Oregonian and one of a family of 11 children, the present senatorial candidate comes of a sturdy, pioneer stock. Father Early Pioneer. His father, Robert Nelson Stanfield. native of Illinois, and one of the original '49ers, drove an ox team across the plains when barely 17 years of age. Landing at McMlnnville, Yam hill county, the senior Stanfield went on to California in the gold rush but returned to Oregon in 1860 and lo cated at Umatilla, where he became a freighter and later conducted a warehouse business. starting lite with the heritage of good name, the present Robert N. Stanfield was 19 years old and a stu dent at the state normal school at Weston, Umatilla county, when his father passed u.way. Abandoning his career in order to help his mother run the Butter Creek farm, the young student persuaded her to turn over the management of it to him. That year he bought his first 100 head o: sheep and from that day to this he has been the head of all the Stanfield business. Political Debnt In 1913. Mr. Stanfield's entrance into politics was in 1913. when he was elected to represent Umatilla county in the leg- islature. He was re-elected in 1915 and 1917 and was chosen speaker of the house at the latter session. His legislative record shows that he was consistent advocate of the good roads programme and of other con Structive legislation. Owing to his normal school training he has taken an unusual interest in educational matters. During recent years Mr. Stanfield has gained, through his service on several state boards and commissions, comprehensive knowledge of the enterprises in which Oregon is inter ested from a development standpoint. He is at present a member of the Oregon land settlement commission, having been reappointed on January 1, 920. The Stanfield home is at 271 Cor nell road. Mrs. Stanfield, who was Miss Inez Hill of Pendleton, is ac tively interested in philanthropic and welfare work, as well as in the social lfe of the city, having a host of friends both in Portland and eastern Oregon. Barbara, Mr. and Mrs. Stan field's daughter, is a student at Miss Catlin's school in this city. man had been very active in religious work and had resided at one time with Dr. William A. Waldo, pastor of the White temple, who was a char acter witness in the trial. Tucker was accused in indictments returned by the Multnomah county grand jury of forging several checks. His defense was his own unsupported statement that he did not know that checks he passed were forged, saying that they had been given him by a man in settlement for a S200 debt. There were seven witnesses to testify to his good reputation. The young man came to Portland from Louisiana, serving in the spruce production division during the war. He bore excellent letters of recom mendation and apparently came of a gcod family. The prosecution maintained that Tucker had passed about ten checks in all and had written letters to him self, giving apparent genuine refer ences for supposed services per formed. Deputy District Attorney Dempsey tepresented the district at torneys office,-Boon Cason the de fense. Dr. Waldo asserted last night that he would seek to have the other in dictments against the boy dismissed as a result of the acquittal. Miss Isom Voices Confidence in Honesty of City's Patrons 6f Big Public Institution. By a change In the system of Issu ing library books, given the official O. K. of the board last night, ths adult population of Portland will be put on its honor In the matter of re turning volumes and doing it on time. An identification slip will be issued I instead of the present readers' card, to be presented by the holder when I calling for books, which will be charged against the applicant as now, ! without the book being stamped as under the present plan. If one loses one s slip or leaves it at home in one s "other pocket" as some members of the library board admitted they have done with their cards one may go to the registration desk regardless, the attendant will check the number from the list and a book or books will be issued. The honor part comes In when books are over due. Under the new plan it will he possible to bring books to the library, lay them on a table or shelf and then go to the registration desk and say "I have lost my slip' "I haven't it with me," and It will be impossible for the attendant to check up. In this way, the library may lose considerable, money but Miss Mary Frances Isom, librarian, and her assistants last night told th board, in regular monthly sessio that Portlanders will not take ad vantage of the plan, at least to any great extent, and it was voted in unanimously. Miss Isom said after the meeting that it will require considerable tim to install the new plan, which is th latest feature in library wor throughout the country, Detroit being the only large city which has given it a thorough trial. It is designed said Its advocates, to liberalize the issuing of books and to make ' it easier for people, business men in eluded, to get volumes when wanted. It will not apply to children. Members of the board last night de cided that the library shall be closed all day July 4 in future, but shall be open Christmas from 2 to 6; on Feb bruary 22, May 30, Labor day, Thanks giving day and every-general elec tion, it will be open from 2 to 9:30 o'clock for reading purposes only. After the Armenian drive is over, no soliciting of funds for any purpose will be permitted without written sanction of the administration com mittee. Ington, D. C, and the district - In which Portland lies will be in charge of George H. Fairfield, a special agent of that department. He is now in Wasco completing some work an will reach this city some time next week, in all probability. According to an official statement just issued by Director Rogers of the census bureau, the department commerce will require the services of about 1200 persons to take the statistics wanted, . which will cover every factory, mine, quarry, oil and gas well in the United States. Any one wishing this work should, it is stated, communicate at once with the chief special "agent in San Francisco, although the work In- Oregon will be tinder two special agents, with head, quarters in Portland and Eugene.

The directors of the chamber of commerce yesterday decided that owing to the importance and varied character of the industrial work that Is constantly occupying the attention of the chamber, it will be the future policy not to assist in raising special funds.

American Master Gives Perform ance Remarkable . for Quiet Power. BY JOSEPH MAC QUEEN. IT IS a great pleasure to record that Harold Henry,- American pianist, won much success last night in the Heilig theater when he appeared In concert that was remarkable for his quiet, non-eensational, but brilliant playing. The time is past when a concert artist must be born and trained . in Europe or Asia, before he or she can win out In concert in this country and especially in this typically Ameri can city in which the native born rule and form public opinion. Mr. Henry was greeted by a smaller audience than usual at Heilig theater concerts, because he is not yet known in Oregon and had never previously played in concert in this city. Be sides, we have had a multitude of musical events of late and the season of Lent is approaching when spirit ually we put on sackcloth and ashes for 40 days and nights. But Mr. Henry's audience of laBt night could not have been more cor dial and enthusiastic in recognizing his musical genius. He is sane and common sense in appearance and plays without any affectations. or atmosphere of mystery. He h fully earned the right to be called a master pianist. He has a quiet man ner and inclines to quiet piano pieces, He shies at the creation of musical skyrockets. His concepts of the Bach Brahms and Schubert selections were marked by fine satisfying pianism. with sure, velvety touch and cultured phrasing. His MacDowell "Keltic Sonata" was quieter in presentation than the work of some older piano artists, but competent and poetically artistic When Mr. Henry came to play the Chopin "Etude, opus 25, No. 9," piano students recognized it as an old fa vorite and applauded its rendition so warmly that it had to be repeated. Mr. Henry s own "Dancing Marionette is a creation of sunny beauty and joy and it, too, had to be repeated. His Moszkowski "Caprice Espagnole" was quite a brilliant affair. His extra numbers were: "Scotch Dance (Bee thoven, "A flat Polonaise" (Chopin) and "Nocturne" (Greig). The concert was one of the Ellison White series. Mr. Henry was born In Kansas and his home for several years has been in Chicago. He was in army training in the late war and was studying for the field artillery when the armistice came.
