UNITED BRETHREN CONFER Pacific Slates Leaders Ojien Two- Day Session in Portland. Heads of the United Brethren church of the Pacific states yesterday opened a two-day conference In Port land, with Bishop William H. Wash- lnger, who is bishop of the Pacific coast district. At the session last night at the First United Brethren church. Thirteenth and Morrison streets. Dr. L. S. Woodruff of Stock ton, Cal., was the speaker. Tonight Dr. G. L. Stine of Beach, N. D., will address the conference. The churchmen are considering chiefly the relation of their denomi nation to the inter-church movement. Important officials present at the conference, other than Bishop Wash- inger. include: Dr. Woodruff, superin tendent of the California district: Rev. W. A. Nicholes of Spokane, Wash., superintendent of the northeast Washington district, and Dr. G. E. McDonald of Portland, superintendent of the Oregon district. rious politicians concerned, within and without the state. It is not bevond possibility that the Indiana delegation may finally land behind a dark horse, and if the con vention should turn out to be a case of dark horse at all, then any dark horse who is backed by Indiana will have, by virtue of that fact, more strength than is Implied by the num ber of Indiana delegates. The tradi tion about Indiana, as a state, where people take politics more seriously, where politicians are shrewder, and as a state which has unusual weight In the determination of national re sults is abundantly justified by the facts. This year Indiana is more than usually a state to be watched. Michigan Is a fighting .ground for three candidates: Lowdcn, Wood and Johnson. Johnson has unusual strength In Michigan. I.aFnllette Strong tn W lnroasin. In Wisconsin the fight will be what all Wisconsin fights have been for a generation, more or less, that is to say, pro-LaFollette and anti-LaFol- lette. LaFollctte is believed to con trol about half the republican party in the state. T-tait half which La Follette does not control has united in requesting all the candidates for the oresid--i cy to remain outside the state, so as not to disturb the unity of the anti-LaFollette forces. Where the Wisconsin delegates may land in the national convention no man can foretell. Minnesota's primary does not rest upon the statutory sanction , of the state, but was called by the repub lican state committee and waB open only for one evening. , Informal though it may be, both the Wood na tional headquarters and the Lowden national headquarters seem Inclined to accept it as providing a fair test of strength, and the result of it may reasonably be interpreted by the pub lic as giving a- clue to the relative strength of the two men. Johnson is also expected to make a good show ing in some parts of the state. Near ly all of next week In Minnesota will, be filled with politics. There will be county conventions on the 17th, dis trict conventions on the 19th and state convention on the 20th. In North Dakota Senator Johnson will Inevitably get the ten delegates, but he will -get them under protest and there will undoubtedly be a con testing delegation leading to a con test before the credentials committee of the national convention in June. It is South Dakota that presents a clear situation. The primaries are formal, aguarded by.state, statutes and are "worked out in a Vnmute and painstaking1 effort to provide a real test of popular strength. All of the candidates realize this" and each of them has put his beet foot forward in South Dakota. ; Sooth Dakota Affords Teat. The state has been canvassed and recanvassed. Lowden and Johnson have each spent a week in the state. Wood and Poindexter have already been there and each of them will spend ten days more. On March 20 Wood and Poindexter will hold a joint debate at the state capitol. Mra. Lowden has visited the state with her husband on one trip and Mrs Wood will accompany General Wood next week. The contest has been on substan tially all the time since'last Decem ber. Nearly all the voters have had a chance or will have had one by the time the primaries come, to take a look at one or more of the candi dates. The great bulk of the voters will have heard one or more of the candidates speak. The state has been talking politics steadily for more than three-months.- It is an unusu ally well-read and intelligent body of voters. It is a good community in which to make a test and the candi dates realize It is so. -The results of the primary in South Dakota on March 23 can be fallen by the public as a fair measure of the relative strength of the various candidates. on-strlnged ukulele began to sink I deeper and finally touched her nerves, j now wonaeriuiiy uie-nae your phonograph sounds," cooed Miss Paul ine Sethlar, a friend and also an actress.
