JEFFERSON GETS PRAISE Candidates Frank In Admitting Claims for Support and Wll- sou's .amc Brings Cliecrs. Theje fferson day dinner given at the Hotel Benson Tuesday night un der the ausplcca ot the Jackson club, roqk-ribbed democratic organization of ;Portland, and attended by many of the faithful of both sexes, failed to bring forth cheers for Herbert Hoo vef, as was the custom not so long since. Instead his name was con spicuous by Its absence and there was none to do him reverence, while boh Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan received their meed of praise. Elton Watklns presided and . an nounced that he welcomed every one even some republicans, who, out of pure love for Jefferson, he said, were rriong those present. He then turned the meeting over to Bert E. Jlaney, chairman of a special com mittee on arrangements for Tuesday delight's banquet. "i Jefferson Speakers Eloqaent. There were to have been three set .speeches, but B. Frank Irvine was ill with tonsilitis. This left Richard W. Montague to speak on "Thomas Jef ferson" and Frederick V. Holman on "Jefferson's Theory of Government." Both were lavish In their praise of the framer of the declaration of In dependence. Mr. Montague credited liim with having exercised the great est moral authority of any man of his time and with having executed the best bargain this country has re corded when he bought Louisiana "from the most autocratic, most grasping despot In the world Na poleon Bonaparte." Mr. Holman lauded Jefferson, who he said, laid, through his well-defined political freedom theory, the founda tion upon which Abraham Lincoln later was enabled to build a nation governed by the consent of Its peo pie. Mr. Holman deplored the pres ent centralization of authority and the tendency toward paternalism and declared that "we are getting away from the Jeffersonian doctrine of self-government and of personal lib erty." Candidates Voice Claim. Several candidates for delegate to the San Francisco convention from (his district, including Mrs. Alice Mc Naught, admitted their qualifications fo that position. Walter B. Gleason said he guessed he is the youngest candidate and he thought "It is about time that the democratic party in Oregon Is showing some' recognition of its young men. Instead ot sending old warhorses to every convention." He was loudly cheered. I am a candidate, too," said Mrs. MCNaught, "but I should like ever so much to see Mr. Gleason go; he is just the candidate to represent the democrats of this district. However, I think I'll stick around and try for a few votes myself." (Cheers.) Judge John H. Stevenson also frankly admitted his aspirations to go to San rranclsco. John L. Schuyleman and Sam Ful . ton were outspokenly for Wilson's nomination and were cheered there for, while about an equal burst met the announcement of Fred Ackers of :the second district, who said he had decided that "William Jennings Bryan is the ablest, wisest and best all around democrat of his day." crystal roojn of the Benson hotel.

Said Mr. Woodward Tuesday: The very life of ear nation. Its well- being, Its Ideals, have for their foundation storres our elemontary ' publlo schools. Through, these schools, powerhouses of pura democracy, wherein classes are melted, dif ferences ana distinctions or Dirtn, race ana material conditions blended, there should be the highest and purest service rendered by all who have to do with their super vision or control. There is and should be no room In eur land for the elementary, private, sec tarian or parochial school. For in these lie the creation of caste and class. Our schools today are called upon to yield more than elementary book instruction to the child. The teacher must implant those principles If lacking, those ideals and standards which will make the citizen of tomorrow In the truest and beat sense Teacher and superintendent should find In the directorate co-operation, not alone In the business administration, or In matters having to do with the material well-being of the schools, but sympathy and Inspiration. Ana II the service of director is responsible and worthy. In how much greater a degree Is this true of the teacher, a profession which should be so requited as to call forth the best in morale and brain In the land. 20 WIVES ARE NOW LISTED AS VICTIMS Portland Woman Among Those Ensnared by Man.

Ten r 12 passenger trains, both west and eastbound, were stalled late last night on the Santa Fe lines between Bars tow, Cal., and Albuquerque, N. M., ac cording to word received .here last night from Santa Fe division head quarters at San Bernardino. This latest result of the strike of the switchmen and the spread of the walkout to San Bernardino, Barstow and Needles, Cal., caused Santa Fe officials here last night to cancel train No. 10, an -eastbound overland. First news of the stalled trains came from Winslow, Ariz., where the crews of three westbound, overlands were said to have " deserted, leaving perhaps 500 passengers stranded. The. start of the trouble there, it was said, followed a request of rail road officials that brakemen, .'who, as members of the Brotherhood of Railway trainmen are subject to switching duty in emergency, take the place of striking switchmen. This, it was said, the brakemen refused to do and shortly afterward refused also to take out the trains. ROTARY ELECTS OFFICERS J. L. Wright Chosen President at Annual Banquet.
