Reply Made to Charge That
He "Violated Oath."
NOMINATING STORY TOLD
Speech That Carried Republican
Convention Orf Its I'eelrIs
Given In Full. .
Judge Wallace McCamant yesterday
took up the cudgels in his own de
fense from the charge that he had
"violated his oath of office" in not
voting for Senator Johnson of , Cali
fornia at the republican convention
at Chicago. In- making this reply I
to his critics Judge McCamant took
issue with Newton McCoy, -who" is
said to have made an accusation
against Judge McCamant at -the meet
ing of the democratic committee Sat
urday. Judge McCamant addressed the fol
lowing letter to Mr. McCoy: '
"Portland, Jirne 20, 1920. Mr. New
ton McCoy, Oregonian Building. Port
land, Or. Dear Sir: It is reported in
this morning's Oregonian that in a
speech you delivered yesterday you
etated that I 'had violated my oath
of office." An oath of office is a
matter of record mnd you, aa a law
yer, know In what public office such
an oath would be filed. If you have
been correctly quoted, I ask that you
secure and forward to me a certi
fied copy of the oath referred to;
also that you publish the oath, with
accompanying certificate, in The Ore
gonian. I will be glad to reimburse
your expense in securing the copy
and- in publishing it.- Very truly
yours. WALLACE McCAMANT."
Responding to many requests that
he explain Die incidents that led up
to his speech nominating Governor
Coolidge for the vice-presidency the
story was finally brought to light.-'
Decision of the Oregon delegation
to the republican convention to nom
inate Governor Coolidge for vice
president was made only after it had
been very plain to them that Sen
ator Lodge, for whom they were in
structed, would not accept the honor.
Wallace McCamant, who placed
Coolidge before the convention, ex
plained yesterday how the situation
developed and also gave out his nom
inating speech.
"Jutlge Carey, who was to place
Lodge in nomination, thought it was
only proper o present the matter to
him first," said Judge McCamant.
"The Massachusetts senator was very
positive in declining tr be consid
ered and said that his nomination
would be embarassing to him. We
complied with his request."
Judge McCa niant's nominating speech
was very brief. Although it was ex
temporaneous, the Oregon delegate
yesterday consented to formulate the
following draft, as he remembered it:
Speech Terse nud Pithy.-
"The Oregon delegation came here
directed by the republican electors of
our state to present the name of the.
senior senator from Massachusetts as
a candidate for vice-president. This
distinguished statesman has request
ed that we refrain from presenting
his name, and we feel bound to re
spect his wishes.
"There is another citizen of Massa-
chusetts who has been most in the
public eye during the past year. He
stands for all those things which the
republican party -holds dear.. His
nomination for vice-president will
assure the country that the' repub
lican party stands foursquare in its
loyalty to those principles of law nd
order which are the foundation -;o
which civilization is builded.
"He is big enough and sound
" enough to be "president of the United
States should occasion require. In
this tercentenary year of the landing
at Plymouth it is peculiarly fitting
that we put on our national ticket a
gentleman of New England birth and
ancestry whose public career exem
plifies those principles of liberty
under law which his forefathers
brought across the Atlantic.
"Oregon presents the name of Gov
ernor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts."

"Don't judge a man by his cigar
ette holder," is the moral of this
latest Fairbanks production. The pic
ture goes even farther it philoso
phizes on the fundamental nature of
man as affected by civilization and
it strides to such heights as to define
civilization. It is "the primitive plus

the many interesting sub-titles.

is shanghaied from Monte Carlo, es

into the cannery machinery, saves his

A five years' effort to bring the im

Portland has culminated in the trans
formation of Portland into a city of
oriental splendor. The sci-ion Is here
and William. J. Hofmann, general
chairman of the 1920 Shrine commit
tee, Is without doubt the busiest man
in Portland today. Harvey Wells, as
sistant to the chairman, runs a close
second.
Yesterday Chairman Hofmann
'seemed to be everywhere. His head
quarters have been established in the
Multnomah hotel, adjacent to tho
headquarters of W. Freeland Ken

Chairman of Committee "Crges All
Owners to ' Report Whether
Called Upon or ?'ot.
. Two thousand Shrinera and their
ladies enjoyed the hospitality of
Portland , automoDile owners yester
day. Except . for.T a few brief mo
ments, sufficient cars were on hand
at all times to "care for the visitors
who desired o view the Columbia
river highway or the residential sec
tion of the city.
Ira F. Powers, chairman of tha
automobile committee, expressed sat
isfaction over the response of the au
tomobile owners yesterday and urged
every car owner who has signed with
tne committee to furnish cars to report
at headquarters today for service.
even though no telephone call Is
made.
"Automobiles will be needed sorely
today. We can use all the cars that
we can obtain between 9 A. M. and
11 A. M. today," said Mr. Powers. "We
will also need cars in the afternoon
from 1:30 to 2:30 o'clock.
"Because of the large amount of
work falling on the committee it is
Impossible to telephone to car own
ers that we need them. All persons
who have registered cars are asked
to report today, whether or not they
receive instructions by telephone to
do so."
It is admitted that the best oppor
tunity Portland has to impress the
visitors with the natural wonders
of this city and its environs is to
take them over the Columbia river
highway and on trips around Port
land. Hence, it is explained, Port
land automobile owners should- give
the services, of their car and one
driver as often as is possible during
the present week, reporting to the
automobile headquarters- on Sixrn
street whenever the opportunity pre
sents. Gasoline cards will be furnished to
every car owner who presents his
car for use by the visitors. In do
ing this, however, it Is necessary that
the car is pressed into service as a
"visitor's car."
In addition, an official visitor's au
tomobile card will be furnished to all
car owners who donate the use of
their cars during Shrine week.

Mayor Baker last night issued the
following proclamation of welcome to
visiting Shriners:
To the Nobles of the Mystic snrtne:
"Portland, the fair oasis of the Pa
cific, bids you a most cordial wel
come. And when Portland says wel

and hospitality born of the great days
of our far west when every man s

days have passed, but the spirit re
mains.
"To all Sheiks, Nobles, Countrymen,
Daughters of the Harems and even
to infidels who may be in our midst.
Portland doors are open wide. Every
thing we have is yours. Portland
expects to do her utmost to fulfill
the pledge made a year ago at Indian
apolis, when we told you we had a
wonderful city, in a wonderful coun
try, and we .would show you a won
derful time. Every man, woman and
child In Portland Is behind the Shrine
committee, which will endeavor to
make the occasion of your visit the
greatest occasion In the history of
the northwest.
"Remember that Portland is yours
and you are invited to help yourself
to the limit. And after it is all over
we- Invite you most cordially to come
again."

SALEM, Or.. June 20. (Special.)
Certificates of nomination affecting
all successful candidates of the repub
lican and democratic parties at the
recent primary election were mailed
by Sam Kozer, secretary of state,
today.
In case where a candidate of one
party was defeated, but received the
nomination of another party, he will
not receive a certificate. Refusal by
the secretary of state to issue these
certificates is authorized under a law
passed at the 1919 session of the leg
islature and which became effective
for the first time at the recent pri
mary contest.
The official canvass of votes shows
ties for several offices throughout the
state and these candidates have been
notified to appear in person or by
their attorneys at the secretary of
state's office in the near future to
determine their nominations by draw
ing lots. None of the ties affect im
portant offices and are confined most
ly to precinct contests.

Salem Invites Shriners.
SALEM, Or., June 20. (Special.)
Greeting cards provided by the Salem
Commercial club were placed aboard
all Shriner trains passing through
here today en route to Portland. The
first of these trains passed through
Salem at 8:30 A. M., having aboard
the members of the Richmond, Va.,
temple. The cards invited the nobles
and their families to return to Salem
Wednesday and participate in the
Cherry City hospitality.
There Is no night In Dallas.
This was the cry at midnight of
some 200 Hella temple, nobles, as be
ginning sharp on tne -'Itching hour,
they " started a shlrt-tail parade
through the almost deserted streets.
But they were deserted no longer.
From every corner people came rush
ins; as the great Hella band, with its
detonating rifle reports, serenaded the
Multnomah hotel, headquarters of Im
perial Potentate Kendrick, and the
other down-town hotels, beginning
with the New Perkins.
It seemed to be the desire of the
Hella Bedouins to prove there was
no night in Portland, either.
Crashing into "Hail, hail the gang's
all here," the band started. The
drum corps walloped Its way into the
consciousness of every person sleep
ing within at least two miles or so.
Every individual sleeping in the
different hotels woke with a start,
then, with the realization that it was
Shrine week, settled back but not
to sleep, at least not until the serena
de had left for other Quarters.
The visiting nobles followed the
lead of the band and drum corps, anfl
the gattling reports from the truck,
with their er shirt tails, hanging
out behind.
Conspicuous in the shirt-tail party
were Colby E. Smith, illustrious po
tentate; Mike H. Thomas. W. R. Ellis,
Sam P. Cochran and James E. Forrest,
representatives to the Imperial coun
cil; W. R. Ellis, patrol captain;
George E. Perkins, band leader; Joe
Ray., head of the drum corps, and W.
W. Truax, city editor of the Dallas
Journal.
Theft of Silverware Charged.
Walter Long. 19, was arrested last
night by Patrolmen Abbott and Yost
and charged with stealing S100 worth
of silverware and some clothing from
the home .of C. N. Mickleson, 85 East

Mr. Al F. Mielke,
111 15th St Portland, Oregon:
Having used your Bark Root Tonic for
some time, and hoping- that it may help
some . other unfortunate like myself, who
has served in the Army, I would like to say
that, after leaving the Army, my condition
was very bad, being troubled with con
' stipation and my blood being in bad order.
Noticing one of your Posters in a Drug
Store window, I decided to give it a trial,
and I will say that it sure did help me won
derfully, and I feel like a new man today.
Bark Root Tonic
A Mild Laxative, an Appetizer
Why resort to and endure the ordeal of
strong physics when Bark Root Tonic will
overcome that constipated condition, which
most always brings on indigestion, nervous
headache, sleepless nights, and loss of appe
tite. No griping or purging. What it has
done for others it will also do for you. Be
convinced; give it a trial.
