DEMOCRATS CT
WILSON-BRYAN FIGHT
Telegram Said. to Presage
Convention Contest.
EXECUTIVE IS SUSPECTED
That Third Term May Be Sought Is
Btlieved Lik;y Xebfaskau
Has Iarge Following.
That there will be a figrht for con
trol of the democratic national con
vention at San Francisco between
President Wilson and William Jen-
nines Bryan is the belief of a number
of leadincr democrats in Oregon. They
argue that this fight is presaged by
Mr. Wilson's telegram to county
4 'hntrmn n Hamaker declaring: that the
Versailles version of the league of
nations should be adopted.
There is also a suspicion that Mr.
Wilson, If he can gain control of the
convention, may aspire to be nomi
nated for a third term. The idea of
a third term is abhorrent to prac
tically all of the democrats in Ore
Son, especially among democrats who
take an active part in the politics of
their party.
Among Oregon democrats there Is
a large and loyal following of Mr.
Bryan. The following is believed to
be considerably larger than the dem
ocrats who prefer Mr. Wilson's ideas.
Until about two years ago, Mr. Wil
son's administration was never ques
tioned by local democrats, but of late
there are democrats who are bold
enough to think that the president
has made some mistakes.
Since the celebrated dinner at
Washington a few months ago, when
Mr. Brvan declared that the league
of rations should be ratified, even by
compromise, by the senate, and at the
very time when Mr. Wilson wrote a
letter holding out for his own ver
sion of the covenant, there has been
- predicted a struggle between these
two leaders for supremacy at San
Francisco.
According to Mr. Bryan's advice,
Senator Chamberlain voted In a man
ner satisfactory when he supported
the Lodjre reservation, but according
to Mr. Wilson's telegram to Mr. Hama
ker. Senator Chamberlain voted en
tirely wrong. Because of Mr. Bryan's
attitude and because of his many fol
lowers in Oregon, the Wilson wire to
Hamaker may not prove as effective
against rnator Chamberlain as Mr.
Hamaker and his associate enemies
of Chamberlain hope for. And an
other thing, among the candidates for
delegates to the national convention
there is a preponderance of democrats
who are old-time Bryan supporters,
and if It comes to a showdown be
tween Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan, they
very likely would throw their weight
to the Nebraskan.
The politicians of both parties are
awakening to the fact that the Ham a
ker message forecasts Mr. Wilson's
determination to make, the league of
nations the party issue. And if Mr.
Bryan has the top hand at San Fran
cisco there will be other paramount
issues than the league.
JOnXSO.V DROPS DIRECTOR
Albert Abraham Gets Cold Shoul
- der Alter Race Announcement.
Albert Abraham of Roseburg has
been given the cold shoulder by the
Johnson management in Oregon, and
in California, too, since he announced
himself as a candidate tor the re
publican candidate for United States
senator on an anti-league of na
tions platform. Upto the time Mr,
Abraham filed his candidacy, he was
the Douglas county director of the
Johnson campaign, and he .had been
asked to introduce Senator Johnson
when the latter was expected to cam
paign personally in Oregon.
Now it Is all over between the
Johnson management and Mr. Abra
ham, and although Mr. Abraham
doesn't like the league of nations any
more than does Senator Johnson, the
management of the latter declines,
firmly but positively, to liave Mr,
Abraham hooked up with the senator.
Four years ago, Mr. Abraham
forced the name of C. E. Hughes on
the republican primary ballot In Ore
son which was the opening wedge in
bringing about the nomination of Mr.
Hughes at Chicago.
"SLACKERS" ARE UEXOCSCED
Members of Both I'arties Sco.'Cd
by Leon B. Baketel.
"Every slacker member of the con
gress of the United States should be
ousted from his seat, no matte
whether he be republican or demo
crat," declared i.eon B. Baketel in
an address delivered last night at
a political rally in South Portland
Mr. Baketel, who. is a candidate fo
the republican nomination for" state
representative, did not mince words
in arraigning the action of congress
relative to the soldiers' bonus raeas
ure.
As the father of a soldier and presi
dent of the Daddies' club, Mr. Baketel
baa taken a keen interest in. the wel
fare of the former service men and
for months has been waging a fight
to see that the returned overseas
men are given a square deal.
Circulators Demand 10 Cents.
Members of a Petition Circulators'
association demand 10 cents a nam
instead of a nickel. Eight men were
engaged to circulate a petition for
R L. Walters, who wants to initiate
a measure prohibiting fishing unde
certain regulations. The pay was to
be 5 cents for the signature of eac
qualified voter obtained. When th
list submitted was checked over abou
CO per cent of the names were foun
to be not registered. The circulator
refused the a cents a name and in
sisted on a dime. Mr. Walters con
tends that the original agreemen
holds.
, F. S. Bramwell in Portland.
Frank S. Bramwell of Grants Pass
who is a member of the Oregon State
Chamber of Commerce, is registered
atlhe Hotel Oregon. Mr. Bramwell
baa decided to see if he on "clean"
Dr. J. C. Smith in the primaries for
the republican nomination for state
senator for Josephine county. Dr.
Smith has been state senator for
years, and before that he served in
the house. However. Mr. Bramwell is
satisfied with the outlook of his own
candidacy.
TaTt to Visit Oregon.
William Howard Taft. the only liv
ing ex-president, will arrive in Ore
gon for a few days this month. He
comes after the primaries and as a
lecturer and not on a political mis
sion. Mr. Taft arrives in Portland
May 27 from Puget Sound and leaves

and speaks at Salem May 29. Mr.
Taft retutns to Portland on May 30, j ill
bejrs here until the 11:30 P. M. train

RIIMTERS ACCEPT SCALE
I
Boise Union Agrees to Wage Fixed
by Judge as Arbitrator.
BOISE, Idaho. May 11 (Special.)
The Boise Typographical union has
oted to accept the scale of wages
fixed by Charles P. McCarthy, judge
f the 3d judicial district court, ar-
itrator, agreed upon by representa-
ives of the publishers arvd the union
to settle the wage dispute that has
been pending between them here for
three months. The publisners ana
job' shop owners having agreed to the
cale previously, neither aide will
appeal.
The union demanded 8 for tyz
hours day work and $8.50 for the
same number of hours, night work.
The publishers offered to- pay them
$6 for day Work and ?6.50 for night
work. Judge McCarthy struck an
average from the -wages paid tr 12
western cities Anaconda, Billings,
Butte, Spokane, Walla Walla, Everett,
Olympia. Seattle, Portland, Great
Falls. Missoula and ogaen ana al
lowed a scale of $7 per day for 7
I
hours day work and $7.50 per day for
night work.
The scale is retroactive and puo-
ishers will pay the difference to
printers in their wages since the ex
piration of the contract they had
with the publishers.
FIR TRIED FOR VENEERING
Xew Factory Promised at Eugene
if Experiment Successful.
EUGENE. Or.. May 11. (Special.)
The Alsea River Lumber company of
this city today shipped a carload of fir
logs to a veneer factory in New lork
city. The factory will conduct a
series of experiments wit'h Douglas
fir for veneering purposes. Should it
be found satisfactory they write that
they will probably establish a factory
n Eugene. Owners of the plant where
the experiments will be tried are
stockholders in the Alsea River Lum
ber company.
Two boilers for the big mill being
erected by the Alsea company at Glen-
brook have arrived and a ia-ton Bald
win locomotive will be here within a
few days. The officials of the com
pany say that operations at the plant
are expected to begin about July 1.
IGE0NS TO AID RANGERS
Messages to Be Carried in Forest
Fire Patrol Work.
EUGENE, Or., May 11. (Special.)
Eight homing pigeons will be taken
to the McKenzie Bridge and Reserve
ranger stations within a few days to
be used in carrying messages to direct
forest fire work in the Cascade na
tional forest this summer. The pigeons
have been kept in Eugene during the
past winter and spring and W. E.
Naylor, assistant supervisor of the
forest, who has charge of them, says
they are in fine fettle.
The pigeons are of varying ages.
As they have not been trained to re
turn to the Eugene station, it is be
lieved they will easily be taught to
return to their respective stations in
the forest.
ATMOSPHERE GETS SMOKY
Scores of Brush Fires Started by
Farmers in Hills.
EUGENE, Or., May 11. (Special.)
Scores of small fires in the hills and
mountains on nearly all sides of Eu
gene during, the, past . week . have
caused the atmosphere in this part of
the valley to become somewhat
moky, but investigation reveals that
they are merely piles of brush being
burned by farmers. There are no fires
near standing timber, say forest of
ficials and fire wardens of the privately-owned
timber tracts.
While the underbrush in the moun
tains is -becoming dry, it is believed
to be not dry enough to allow fire to
spread.
Old Country Is Visited.
CENTRALIA, Wash., May 11. (Spe
cial.) Edward Enderlin, a resident of
