3 More Candidates Reply.
Three more candidates for dele
gates to the republican national con
vention nave answered the Question-
determined to fight to tue last min
ute against the nomination of the
senator.
Mr. Hamaker, on account of an ar
tide in the Oregon Journal, issued
another letter yesterday, going into
his lite history. The most impurtan
part of the latest statement from
Mr. Hamaker said:
"The last few yrars I lived in Iowa.
I operated . drug store at Stanhope,
and at that time druggists were au
thorized under the law to sell intoxi
cating liquor for medical purposes.
Prosecutions under the law allowed
the county attorney a part of the
fines collected. The county attorney
who was holding office at that time
during the '.erm of court which was
the last during the term of office of
the county attorney caused charges
to be brought against almost every
druggist in the county, about 20 in
number, myself included. I- was
known as the one who was opposed
to the sale of liquor in drug stores.
"The principal charge against me
was the selling' of alcohol under a
physician's directions to a man dan
gerously ill and- expected to die at
any moment. The county attorney
who brought the charge against me
operated through a party to whom I
refused liquor. I fought the charge,
had two trials without conviction,
covering a period of about two years,
and in the meantime sold my drug
business, and made arrangements to
move to Washington, and rather than
to remain in Iowa several months to
again try the case, I compromised
and settled the matter with the
county attorney who s .cceeded the
one who brought the charges in the
first instance, by paying a small fine.
"The county attorney vho caused
the charges to be brought, against me
was disbarred irom the law practice
forever."
The anti-Chamberlain democrats
are stressing the point that in the
democratic primaries the -issue is
whether the party shall stand with
Wilson or Chamberlain, for, according
to Mr. Wilson's letter to Mr. Hamaker,
the treaty of Versailles is the test
of loyalty to the president, and Sen
ator Chamberlain voted for the Lodge
resolutions. A vote for Chamberlain,
his -pp0l.ents declare, is a vote
against Mr. Wilson.
One of the sidelights on the ' row
among the democrats is the situation
Which democrats, who are regis
tered as republicans, find ' jmsdves.
They are unable to take a hand in
the only real scran- that the Dartv
has had in year:? and all they can do
Is take the pose of very interested
but helpless spectators. ,
Board of Engineers in Reply De
clares Port of Portland Is
Not Yet Overtaxed.
OREGOXIAS NEWS BURE AU.Wash
ngton. May 18. The time and place
for a hearing on the proposed har
bor improvement at Vancouver,
Wash., will be fixed at a meeting of
the board of army engineers for riv
ers and harbors here on May 25. The
board Is considering the question of
whether the hearing can best be held
in this city or at Vancouver.
A tentative report made by the dis
trict engineer,' which is favorable, has
failed to convince the board of en
gineers - that the improvement is
practicable, but the board wishes to
give the local interests at Vancouver
an opportunity to be heard. The
board's position is that the proposed
improvement at "Vancouver is ren
dered unnecessary by the convenience
of that city to the deep sea Port
of Portland. In its report the board
says, in part:
Surrey la Directed
"The river and harbor act approved
April 8, 1917. contains the following
items: s
" 'The secretary of war is directed
to make a survey and submit a re
port to congress upon the advisability
of securing a channel in -the Colum
bia river from the -mouth of the
Willamette river to the eastern limits
of the city of Vancouver, Wash., equal
in width and depth to the project
channel from the mouth of the Wil
lamette river to the city of Portland,
Or., and what co-operation, if any,
should be given.' .
"The report of the district engi
neer is favorable for the improve
ment of the locality by the provision
of a channel 30 feet deep from the
mouth of the Willamette river to the
interstate highway bridge, contingent
upon the necessary dikes on the
Washington side being provided by
the property - owners."
After viewing various cost esti
mates, the report continues:
"The plan of improvement" is for
a channel along the city front be
tween the interstate highway bridge
and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railway bridge, and thence generally
near the center of the river, with
dikes on one or both sides.
Alternative Plan Viewed.
A supplemental report considers an
alternative plan for a channel along
or near the Washington shore.
"In accordance with the law, the
report has been referred to the board
of engineers for rivers and harbors
for consideration and recommenda
tion. The report is accompanied by
a statement and request by the port
of Vancouver, addressed to the sec
retary of war, and by copies of let
ters from parties in interest urging
the improvement. The board is not

convinced by the facts preserted of
the advisability of the United States
undertaking the improvement pro
posed for the following reasons:
"It is believed that the commerce
present and prospective to be bene
fitted by the increase in depth is not
sufficient to justify the cost of the
work.
"It would be more economical to
lighter to and -from Portland the
comparatively small amount of deep
sea commerce than to . provide and
maintain the deep channel to Van
couver. "Few full cargo loads could be ex
pected at Vancouver and going there
with or for part cargo is of doubtful
economy. -
"It is believed that for the pres
ent, Portland, which is 18Vi miles
by water and IS miles, or less, by
rail from Vancouver, should be re
garded as the head of the deep-sea
project, and that it is, therefore, in
advisable to develop another deep
port so near, to Portland whose fa
cilities for handling additional wa
ter traffic are far from being taxed
to their capacity."

F. A. Spencer has teleerranhed The

Mr. Spencer's telegram follows:
"Having just learned that in my
absence from Portland that I have
been nominated by one of the demo

to state that this action is without
my consent or approval and .that I
have no interest in this election from
a democratic standpoint except inso

"The inflexible attitude of the president nd his supporters and
of Senator Johnson and his supporters has brought this issue into
the election at an immeasurable mflral and economic cost to our
country and to the world. If the Republican party, however, is to
voice the will of the people and is not to forfeit the certainty
of leadership in the next four years, it must embrace the great
opportunity which the majority of the American people are pre
pared to give it. It must support the league with reservations.
It must not fall into the trap the president and Senator Johnson
are enticing it into."
