Insurgents Are Losers in Con vention Contest. HEAVY SCHEDULE TODAY Association Meetings, Memorial Ex ercises, Rose Tea and Ban quets Anions Doings. N FA EES Somewhat tired, a whole lot happy and still going strong, the delegates to the Travelers' Protective associa tion rounded Into the second day of their national convention yesterday. and after staging a torrid, but friendly inter-associatlon battle on the con vention floor, they locked arms on with the other and walked out into alternate sunshine and shadow to de vote the remainder of the day to sight-seeing and fun. The local buga boo of 8-cent fare didn't appear to minimize the pleasure of the visitors. who were taken on a street-car sight seeing trip to all points of interest about the city throughout the after noon. Many special cars were pressed into service for this feature of yes terday s programme and there wasn't any part of Portland that the dele gates and their wives missed during the three-hour car ride. Local mem bcrs handled the big megaphones like veterans and pointed out all points of interest along the many car routes. Women Visitor Gnesta. Preceding the sight-seeing trip, the women visitors were guests of the ladies' auxiliary of the Oregon-Washington division at a luncheon in the assembly room at the Multnomah ho tel. More than 300 visiting women of the traveling men's party attended. Mrs. Lou fuller presided as toast mistress. Mrs. Clyde Kvans, wife of the secretary of the convention com mittee, gave the address of welcome, and Mrs. Stanhope S. Pier, wife of the president of the Oregon-Washington division, gave an address on "The Rose City." Responses were given by Mrs. E. N. Mulkey, wife of the national president, and Mrs. F. J. Thrau of Texas. Mrs. Dudley Field Clark sang several selections. The luncheon was given under the direction of a committee of which Mrs. Roy C. Slocum is chairman. Other members include Mrs. George C Weatherly. Mrs. C. N. Sampson. Mrs. H. P. Rasmussen, Mrs. Clyde Evans, Mrs. David M. Dunne and Mrs. Verne Weaver. The festivities for yesterday were brought to an official clqse with two banquets last night. At the Imperial hotel the state presidents staged their annual dinner and at the Benson hotel the state secretaries met in their an nual banquet. The convention will get down to its active business meetings today and extended sessions for both this morn ing and this afternoon are scheduled at the auditorium. .Regular" Hold Sway. The expected fight of the "Insur gents" against the unit rule of vot ing broke like a tropical storm at the outset of the business session yes terday morning and it wasn't until more or less Texas oratory had been unleashed that a poll of the delegates showed that the "regulars" still held sway. The battle, as a matter of fact, started late Monday night in a hotel committee room, when Fred J. Brady of Portland, a member of the rules committee, obtained the adoption of the plank to have all voting done by the unit system. This meant that the chairman of each delegation could cast the entire vote of his state. D. W. Michaux, former national president, and one of the best talkers the Lone Star state might ever hope to produce, "started" something when he moved an amendment providing for individual balloting. Most of the fireworks appeared to be right in the Texas delegation, al though that delegation received strong moral and oral Backing from Ala bama, through talks by W. o. Hud son and Frank Mears. Mr. Hudson branded the unit system of voting as a relic of the gag rule convention days. H. C. Jarrel of Dallas, Tex., aroused the ire of his home state delegates when he stood as the lone Texas sup porter of the unit-voting rule. When the chairman Insisted on voting the entire delegation for the amendment, Mr. Jarrel jumped to his feet and demanded that his vote be registered against the amendment. It was. S22 Delegates Accredited. The report of the committee was adopted by a majority of nearly 200 votes and the convention then settled down and between songs and cheers by various delegations, listened to the reports of the various officers and committees. The resolutions commit tee reported the names of 622 ac credited delegates entitled to vote at the business meetings. The report of E. N. Mulkey, presi dent, showed that the Travelers" as sociation of America has made won derful strides during the past year, both in membership and influence. Many of the big movements sponsored by the organization, he said, have been successful and the road life of travel ing men generally is being made more pleasant as a result of the co-operative efforts of the organization. The reports of all the national com mittees and officers were referred to various committees and will be re- f$jV -"vW'pm wjw m, wuuf, jut 'iu " m mww f m w t mtm-iywwu mnrnwrn iwi a , y vwaryy yrvxXK f lib ' i K ! 1 i ?

Gene beat him down the stairs one boot length and headed north. He went up into Alaska, where he helped to discover the Last Chance claims and made comfortable fortune. Gene insists he has passed the half- century milestone, but he looks to be about 35. Mrs. La Porte is here to look after Gene, and Bill, their 15-year-old son, came along to look after both of them. In fact. Bill is sort of unofficial guide and men tor for the entire Maryland delega tion, and he's the youngest fellow at the convention wearing the official badge. It might be added that?

" There was a good deal of false and camouflaged secrecy when a big bar rel from St. Louis made its appear ance at the Missouri headquarters at the Multnomah. It's the last barrel of the real St. Louis product," was noieed about the lobby in stage whispers, as dry tongues wagged in thirsty anticipation. Then there was staged one grand rush to a certain room on the sev enth floor. There was ice in the bath tub and bottles on the ice. It was an hour of keen enjoyment. "I'm willing to die now," murmured one maverick from the Lone btar state between gurglea. "It's the first drink of real beer I've had for years and years," con fessed another. And it wasn't until the last bottle had been properly and carefully drained that those heartless Missou rianS spilled the bean6. Between laughs that didn't sound funny they confessed that the Milwaukee beer is a product of prohibition days. It was the dealcoholized brand that wouldn t even raise a ripple in a W. C. T.

It was in Portland just 29 years ago that Gene F. La Porte, now prominently identified with the bus! ness interests of Baltimore, first qualified for membership in the Travelers' Protective association. In those youthful days Gene got ud against it in Portland. With an other young fellow, almost his equal for reckless driving, he opened up dancing academy over on the east side.

For fear that some of the uniniti ated might think that Texas has at last Joined hands with -civilization, the Texas division of the Travelers' association has printed some of the rules ot the San Antonio post Just to show that they're still two-flsted gun men down near the Rio Grande. Here's the way they run their meetings back "to hum": "Each member is allowed twu pis tols and one bowie knife. "Only three members are allowed to shoot at the president at one time.

Mr. Roberts is past president of the Missouri division and is now a state director of the "show me" state. He is one of the most active workers on behalf of the association. His candidacy was started without his knowledge and boomed along to a point where success seems imminent by George w. 'inompson oi spring field. Mo. Every Missourian swears by its candidate and they're deter mined to make him second in command. Can you beat it? The better business bureau of the Portland Ad club has established an information booth in the Multnomah lobby to parcel out all brands of in formation and take care of all com plaints of visitors. And the only work the three women in charge of ihe booth have had s far is finding a flock of lost wives for anxious traveling men. Mrs: George A. White. Mrs. F. C.

"I don't mind the clouds and the rain and the rest during the daytime, but when night comes "round I'd sort of like to see the moon shine." sighed Oscar W. Patterson, delegate from North Carolina. And his echo was a chorus of "Ayes." They come from Baltimore, where they live on soft-shelled crabs and oysters. And, of course, they're fat everywhere but the head. Likewise, 1 theysstrike a responsive chord when "Without a doubt. It's one of the finest bands in the United States." This testimonial from a New York delegate concerning the Multnomah Guard feand was echoed by scores of otners. who complimented the' local convention committee on the hia-h character of its music for the opening concert ana tne parade. The Multnomah Guard band is do nating its services to the traveling men.

Bill Marz came to town from Balti more with his pockets full of cards and a smile. Bill is an accredited delegate from the Maryland division and is taking a most active part in the business deliberations of the con vention. Likewise, he is one of the leading funsters whenever and wher ever the traveling men gather. But this week is Just a sort of am pie for Bill from Baltimore. He'll remain over all next week as a shrine delegate from Boumi temple, Balti more. Every time he hands out cards he's got to pass around one of his traveling pasteboards and then issue one of his shrine cards. One of these days Bill Smith . of Tennessee threatens to get right up In meeting and make a speech. Bill has been attending state and national conventions for a flock of years and he's always on the inside whenever something's being done. But he has a reputation for doing his work by a word here and another word there, and convention history states he never has made an honest-to-goodness speech in his life. At home Bill is state secretary of the Tennessee di vision and he's keeping a watchful eye out for the bunch While in Port land. Mrs. Smith is here with her eye on Bill.
