William Gibbs McAdoo will not be
a. candidate for the democratic presi
dential nomination. It Is rumored in
democratic circles, and this explains
why Oswald West is turning his at
tention to putting Herbert Hoover on
the primary ballot. Aside from C. S.
Jackson, the closest friend McAdoo
has in Oregon, is Mr. West, and if
Mr. McAdoo intends being' a candidate
for the nomination, Mr. West would
be the last man in the state to try to
line up a delegation which would be
against the late director of railroads.
. With Mr. West assuming the active
role he is taking in the Hoover boom, ;
he is acting as leader for a consider
able percentage of the federal office
holders, and a large number of the
men who are recognized as among
the leaders of democracy in Oregon
Because these influential leaders are
lining up behind Mr. Hoover there is
a suspicion lurking in the minds of
the lay democrats, the common or
garden variety of partymen, that Pal
mer, Gerrard. Cox and other prospec
tive aspirants will receive a cool re
ception from the reputed leaders
when their boomlets are started here.
Hoover Sentiment Helped.
Also, there is an impression that
possibly the administration is not
averse to Mr. Hoover. Mr. West
stands pretty well with the adminis
tration, via Mr. McAdoo, and the fed
eral officeholders who rarely ever
make a move that misht be consid
ered offensive in the eyes of the pow
ers at Washington, are helping the
Hoover sentiment without ostenta
tion, so this lends color to the impres
sion that Mr. Hoover may not be ob
jectionable to Mr. Wilson.
William Jennincrs Bryan is consid
ered as backing- Mr. Gerard, and Mr.
Gerard telegraphed the Jackson club
Ust month that Mr. Hoover is a good
man, so the Bryan and Gerard follow
Ir.g may line up in Oregon to capture
ten delegates for Mr. Hoover. Any
way, It was part of the programme
conceived and nut into action two
months ago to send to the national
convention at San Francisco, delega
tions for Hoover from Oregon, Wash
ington, California, Idaho, Nevada,
Missouri and Iowa. The first start
tcward delivering the goods In this
compact is being made in Oregon
with the petitions to place Mr.
Hoover's name on the democratic
presidential primary ballot. The big
idea is to stampede the democratic
convention for Mr. Hoover.
- . Candidates to Emerge.
Tn due time a number of democrats
Will offer themselves as candidates
for delegates, and among them will
be men who are inclined toward Mr.
Hoover. Bert K. Haney, the first to
announce himself as a candidate for
delegate-at-large, is convinced that
Mr. Hoover is the right man for the
democrats to name for president. It
is also possible that, to carry on the
Hoover propaganda, Mr. West will
also submit himself as a candidate for
delegate.
Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, the only wom
an candidate thus far, has not been
Identified as being a part of the
Hoover machine now being carefully
assembled in Oregon.
Since the Hoover boom appeared,
talk of other democratic possibilities
has virtually ceased, for Hoover
makes a strong appeal to many mem
bers of the state central committee.
to the Jackson club, to federal offi
eers and prominent leaders. DemO'
cratlc sentiment continues to expand
for Mr. Hoover, who in his own de
fense says he Is not a democrat nor
an aspirant for the nomination.

'Hold Meeting in Chamber to
Discuss Plans.
Plans for unifying relief work of
the various bodies engaged in charit

lated at a meeting held yesterday at
the Chamber of Commerce at which
were present representatives of the
Salvation Army, Volunteers of Amer
ica, Pacific Coast Rescue and Pro

league, together with county officials
who have to do with this class of
work. Ben Selling was chairman of
the meeting and among those who
participated were County Commis
sioner Hoyt' and Judges Tazwell and
Kanzler.
It was the consensus of opinion that
a central clearing organization for
charities should be organized that
would facilitate the relief of needy
persons by eliminating duplication of
effort and check on the efficiency of
the work done. For financing the
plan a committee of three was au
thorized, which Chairman Selling was
Instructed to name and of which he is
to be the chairman. Commissioner
Hoyt recommended that the welfare
bureau at the court house be utilized
as the headquarters of the organization.
