CHANCE CONSIDERED GOOD
preme lieutenant-commander of the
Maccabees and in general charge of
the field work of the association, ar
rived in Portland yesterday- and will
spend today, Friday and Saturday In
Oregon. He is making- his headquar
ters at the Imperial hotel, where he
will meet representatives of the order
from all parts of the state this after
noon for a general conference.
This evening the united tents of
Portland will put on degree work of
the order at the hall at Eleventh and
Alder streets. Mayor Baker, Judges
Morrow, Gatens, Stapleton and Taz
well, Gus C Moser,- Richard Deich,
Bert Haney and other prominent

and a buffet lunch will be served.
At 11 P. M. Mr. Frye. accompanied
by State Commander J. W. Sherwood,
Turning of Hoover and Lowden
SttrriMjrt to General Logical Thiny,.
' 'Says Dow V. Walker.
The Wood management in Oregon
purposes to take up the f ighfagainst
JSenator Johnson and appeal to all re
publicans who are not supporters of
the Californian to follow the banner
of General Wood. Heretofore the
Johnson strength has been a definite,
positive element .among republican
voters and others . not republicans,
while the rest of the republicans
doubtless, a majority, are dividing
tniie support among Wood, Lowden
nj : Hoover. With the majority di
vided three ways Johnson's chance
tor carrying Oregon would be bright.
?What may be called the straight re
publicans now are supporting Wood
and Lowden. The Hoover contingent
contains a large percentage of peo
ple who are more or less indifferent
to"; party affiliations and favor the
man, but in the Hoover support are
also, many straight republicans. The
desire of Dow V. Walker, Oregon
manager for Wood, is to foregather
the .straight republicans to the Wood
col i.mn, as he contends that neither
Jovvden nor Hoover is as well organ
ised, in Oregon as Wood and conse
qcently are not in as good position
tv put up a fight against Senator
Johnson.
Johnson' Record Rapped.
The logical thing for straight re
publicans in Oregon to do is to sup
port Leonard Wood," declared Mr,
Walker last night. "Senator John
sou's record does not show him to be
much of a republican. Consequently,
asi Ijetween Wood and Johnson, Wood
is 'entitled to their votes. With the
Lowden people, as a rule. Wood is
ttreir second choice, and among the
straight republicans who have been
with Hoover, Wood is their second
rliok'e. Therefore, in a. showdown,
wiith the party issue at stake, Lowden
supporters and the Hoover supporters
who are straight republicans, could
vote for Wood with good grace.
?"The returns from California
proved a shock to many of the Hoover
rajun.. A number of prominent people
1(1 Portland who are straight repub
licans and who preferred Hoover as
tiejr first choice, have informed me
tlat in view of thfe result of the Cali
fornia contest, they will no longer
wqi'k for Hoover but will support
Wood. They explain that they are
d&igg this a,s they feel that Wood has
a'j better opportunity for defeating
Johnson in Oregon than has Hoover.
& . Results to Date Cited.
',"'tn IS states where Wood and
Johnson have been the main con
tenders. Wood has carried nine states
and Johnson four. The states carried
by Wood are New Hampshire. South
iJakota, New Tork, New Jersey, Mary
land, Minnesota, Massachusetts and
Idaho. The states carried by Johnson
are North Dakota, Michigan, Nebraska
and Montana. We won't consider
California because Wood was not run
ning there. Now, the states Johnson
carried, which are strongly industrial,
are Montana and Michigan. In North
Dakota there is the Non-Partisan
league,, and in Nebraska there is i
strong pro-German element.
"Oregon is not essentially an in
dustrial state. It is and long has
been a straight republican state. If
the straight republicans come to the
support of Wood, there is little danger
or Johnson carrying Oregon.
According to Mr. Walker, there are
i0 Wood clubs in Oregon, with mem
berships ranging from 70 to 1100
These clubs are scattered throughout
trie counties ana every town has a
Wood club. These clubs are. active
and form the basis of the Wood or
ganization. It is the most complete
primary campaign organization pos
sessed by any of the several aspirants
and with, it, argues Mr. Walker, and
the co-operation Of the straight re
publicans who heretofore have been
aiding Hoover, Lowden and Poin
doter. Senator Johnson could be
eliminated in this state.

Adjournment.
Ralph E. . Williams, republican na
tional committeeman for Oregon, will
leave for Chicago-today-to attend a
meeting of the committee on arrange
ments which will have charge of stag
ing the -big show. Thia committee
meets May 10 and among its duties
will be the selection of a temporary
presiding officer. Mr. Williams says
mat ne has no candidate in mind.
This committee has the work of
mapping out all the multitude of de
tails for the convention, such as the
seating, engaging the clerical force,
the sergeants at arms, the doorkeep
ers, policing th place, providing
space for telegraphers and. In short,
fixing up . the essential machinery.
One of the troubles of the committee
will be the distribution of tickets, and
Mr. Williams say that he has reauests
from at least 60 people who want to
De spectators at the festivities.
Then on June 1 the entire mem
bership of the national committee is
to sit to settle contests. This year
there are fewer contests amone- dele
gations than ever before, so that this
matter will be disposed of in the week
prior to the convention. Along about
June 1 the advisory committee, muds
up of prominent men from all parts
oi tne united states, will r-eet to dis
cuss platform planks and nolicies
This advisory committee is intended
to represent the best thought of the
republicans of the country who are
not In the convention. The committee
s to draft a platform and submit it
to tne platform committee of the con
vention, composed of one delegate
from each state.
'There is no provision in the Ore
gon law for electing alternates for
eiegates to the convention." stated
mt. Williams last evening. "This be
ing tne case, I suggest that in each
district the two high men next to the
elected . delegates be the alternates
nd that the four high men next to
the elected delegates-at-large be al
ternates. This will give Oregon full
representation as to alternates as well
as delegates. In 1916 the situation
wa$ solved by making the delegates
to the progressive convention alter
nates in the - republican convention
nd they all attended and were seated.
"An alternate has all the rights nnw
privileges of a delegate, save the
power to cast a vote. Of course, if a
delegate is absent or does not answer
on rollcall. an alternate can vote for
the absentee.' This will do awav with
the use of proxies, for it m;:y happen
mat sumeone ejected as a delegate
may not be able to attend. An alter
nate then would have a chance? to oc
cupy his place."
