T01C1B U - l i " A ' ii ' - f I &' : ' if a ' tr ; V 1 ' 1 1 " " "" 1 ' :! -. . . -! v United States Senator' Chamberlain of Oregon will be put forward at the psychological moment as the demo cratic presidential candidate, and when his name goes before the demo cratic national convention this week it will have the almost united support of the New York delegation. Sucli is the morsel of "inside" bour bon politics now being brewed at San Francisco, as retailed by John E. Mann, chief deputy United States marshal, who returned yesterday from a visit to New York, where, with others and among others, he con ferred at length with Tammany leaders. "I am violating no confidence when 1 say that the Tammany leaders, and by that I mean the New York delega tion, are strong for Senator Chamber lain, and will make a determined ef fort to bring about his nomination," quoth Mr. Mann. Smltrh Is Contemplated. "Several of the biggest Tammany leaders told me that they would vote for Smith on the first few ballots and would then be ready to switch for Chamberlain. They said they would make a determined effort to bring about a coalition having Chamberlain as the presidential candidate and Smith for vice-president. "Senator Chamberlain, I learned, is mighty strong throughout New York state. The people there admire his record as chairman of the senate com mittee on military affairs and they believe he would be a logical candi date for the democratic presidential nomination. "Frankly, I would not be at all sur prised to hear of a sudden change for Senator Chamberlain, and if the plans of the New York delegation are car ried out as outlined to me just before the delegation left for San Francisco, tho selection of the Oregon senator as the democratic standard bearer is not only possible but highly probable." Pomiibilltiea Are Seen. The proposal to boom Chamberlain as the "dark horse" candidate is preg nant with possibilities, admit local democrats. If the name of Chamber lain is proposed and supported by the New York delegation it might easily cause a stampede of western dele gates, and' such a stampede in a west ern city might turn tho tide in the twinkling of an eye: It is recalled that the democrats of the Pacific northwest went back to the meeting of the democratic na tional committee some few months ago determined to procure the na tional convention for San Francisco. It was at that time that Herbert Hoover had not yet decided to come into the republican fold, and the plan of the western delegates was to bring the convention to San Francisco and then at the right moment start a Hoover stampede and thus bring ' about his nomination. This little plan, naturally, fell by the rough and lone some wayside when Hoover decided he was a republican. They figured did these democrats a few months ago that a Hoover stampede in Hoover's home state would have but one re suit nomination. And now, in view of the announce ment of Mr. Mann, it is more than possible that the same sort of move ment is afoot. San Francisco is close enough to Senator Chamberlain's home to arouse the proper pitch of enthusiam from the galleries, and Cnlifornlans who were disappointed when Johnson lost out at Chicago might be glad to grasp at Chamber lain as a sort of consolation prize and take to his convention candidacy like a duck to water. At any rate, John D. Mann started thin story, so it's up to the Jack eotiians at San Francisco to finish It. CHAMBKRLAIX GIVES REPLY Opposition to Wilson's Stand Canal Tolls Explained. Justification of his opposition to President Wilson's stand on the free tolls; his criticism of America's un preparcdness; hi3 support of the Lodge reservations to the- league ot nations, and other campaign matters were set forth voluminously by Sen stor George K. Chamberlain In a let ter to H. Chczen, R. 3, box 39, Eugene Or. The letter was prepared with view to public answer to the charges brought against the Senator by the anti-Chamberlain faction in the re cent democratic primaries. In part. Senator Chamberlain's letter said: "First, as to the charge that I have opposed tho policies of the president, I can only say this: My first differ ence with him came in reference to the repeal of a portion of the Panama canal act, which exempted from the payment of tolls American ships en gaged in coastwise trade passing through the canal. The democratic platform adopted in Baltimore in 1912 hart this provision in it: 'We favor the exemption from toll of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the canal.' Before the November election in 1912, if I remember correctly, the president de clared in favor of this plank, and the senators of the Pacific coast states used it as a text in the campaign and it is impossible for me to say how Important a part this plank In the platform played In carrying Oregon for President Wilson. "Nearly every coast state, east and west, favored the exemption of coast wise vessels from the payment of Left George Stapleton of Kort AVortb Tex. Right Judge George W. Staple- ton of Portland. "Mr. George Stapleton, meet Mr. George Stapleton." That's how it sounded last week at the Shrine convention when George Stapleton, imperial representative from Moslem temple. Fort Worth, Texas, met Judge Stapleton, imperial representative of Al Kader temple. By com mand of Potentate Kendrick, the delegate from Texas was called "Little George," while the Portland delegate went by the name of "Big George." It worked out all right, according to Judge Stapleton, except that the delegates were usually looking for the mayor when they found him by the name of "Big George." tolls, and when the president re quested me to join him in repealing the. act. which was passed in 1912, upon this subject 1 very frankly gave him my reasons for opposing his view, and I was not the only democrat who felt bound by the platform as well as by the interests of our re spective states to oppose this new policy of the president. 'It has been charged by my en emies that I opposed the war policies of the president. I did nothing of the kind. Nearly every bit of war legislation that passed congress went through my hands as chairman of the military affairs committee of the senate and I had charge of it on the floor of the senate, doing all in my power to place America on a' war footing after war was once declared. I advocated getting ready to fight long before war was declared, be- use it seemed to me that it would be impossible for the United States to keep out of a war in which the world was involved. Not only did I have control on the floor of the sen ate of practic. lly all of the war leg islation but I had charge of the food control bill and fought for three solid weeks on the floor of the senate to carry out the wishes of the ad ministration in regard to this bill. "It later developed in an investiga tion before the military affairs com mittee of the senate that 'the war de partment was not functioning as it ought; that production of war mate rial, equipment and supplies was not progressing as it ought, and we brought this to the attention of the president before any publicity was given to the matter. In the multitude of things that fell to his lot to de termine he could not possibly know these things except as things reached him through the secretary of war. And, judging from conditions as they were then and as they subsequently developed, it is my opinion that the secretary of war did not know the conditions which confronted the Uroitedi States with regard to produc tion. "When I knew that the president was not being informed and that he was disposed to believe an inefficient secretary of war rather than a com mittee which was taking tha evidence of mc what military affairs committee of the senate? My differences, therefore, were not with the president, but with departments and department heads where inefficiency existed and post tively proved to exist. "Again, it has been charged by my enemies that I differed from tho president in the matter of the rati fication of tne treaty and the league of nations. Senator Hitchcock repre sented the administration. The demo crats generally followed his lead on everything in the treaty fight and voted for the reservations which he proposed, and which he claimed were satisfactory to the president. I could see very little difference in principle between these reservations and the so-called Lodge reservations. I have been impressed with the belief all through the fight for ratification that partisan bias, false pride and stub bornness on both side had more to do with the defeat of the treaty than any real difference between those who were willing to subscribe to the Hitchcock reservations on the one hand and those who were willing to subscribe to the, so-called Lodge res ervations on the other. The majority of the senate favored ratification with the so-called Lodge reservations, which were not Lodge reservations, but compromises agreed upon by men of every view on the subject. The minority of the senate had no right, as I view it, to dictate absolute terms upon which ratification should be had. "I was unwilling to forget that the senate was a part of the treat-making power and that individual sena tors had a duty to perform under the constitution, and untier their oaths of of office. Twenty-one democrats and 28 republicans of the senate were of this mind, and they constituted almost the necessary two-thirds o the senate. I did not hesitate under the circumstances to cast my lot with those who favored ratification, even with the Lodge reservation, which had been adopted by a substantial majority of the senate. "The democratic national conven tion is not far off and I venture the prediction here and noV that that convention will not declare for un qualified ratification of the treaty and league of nations, and if it does, the cause of those who want a treaty and a league of nations and who covet n who were actually informed, I peace with nations of the world is was I to do as chairman of the ! lost."

ASE KT SCOTT & BOWNC . ttAXERS OF SCOTTS EMULSION Pantages. LIEUTENANT HARRINGTON REY NOLDS, a clever farceur and comedian with a gift of spontaneous funning, is featured in the headline act at Pantages. He is introduced as an addle-pated scion of English aris tocracy, who has been put to work by his family. They have pooled their discontent and money and purchased a haber dashery shop for their idle relative, and he proceeds to run the business along the lines of least resistance. His sale of a shirt to a nice old shirt less customer Is an episode of hilar ity. He becomes interested in his work only when a pretty traveling saleswoman introduces her models in and out of new clothes and lingerie. The fun is continuous and the lines keen. It is the good-natured, likable, big-boy comedy of Reynolds that keeps the audience howling. Music, girls and costumes add to the picture. Adonis and company start the en tertainment ball a-rolllng as the first act. Adonis is an acrobatic chap with new ideas in physical endeavor, and "company" is the sassiest bull pup that ever gnawed a bone. Adonis goes through a series of clever maneuvers and the pup follows so cleverly that applause greets each new achieve ment. "Company" is quite dressy in a little boy outfit of clothes. The next act is one of the clever spots on the bill, featuring a sprightly comedienne, Fanny Simpson, and a longitudinal comedian. Earl Dean. They offer a smart dance revue as silhouettes against a curtain, and then Fanny puts across a keen song characterization, "Se I to Myself, Ses I," which she makes amazingly funny in Its pantomimed facial ex pressions. Fanny's eyes fairly talk. The two comedy folk put on a trav esty on . modern dancing which is highly relished and encored. Rosa Valyda is a statuesque girl. handsomely gowned, who sings In a phenomenal voice, half of the time as a high soprano, and again as a rich deep contralto. She was warmly re ceived and . her selections are well chosen. A sketch called "The Peacemaker' affords plenty of food for discussion. A pair of quarrelsome newlyweds are brought to a reconciliation by a clever ruse of the youthful bridegroom's father and mother. The lines are philosophical and find targets, to judge from the constant laughter and applause. Arthur DeVoy, a dignified artist. i3 the father, Evelyn Faber the charming mother and pretty Glen Argoe and Foster Hoffman the bride and bridegroom. A capital act is offered by Basil and Allen, one as a recruiting officer and the other, a diminutive comedian, as a prospect for soldiering. The red tape proceedings occasion much mer riment and the fun waxes fast and furious at several points of the phys ical examination. The photoplay is a Pantascone cdy.

"On the- Yukon" has more to claim attention than its title, however, for it is the vehicle through which the Adelphia Musical Comedy Co. and its big chorus puts over some delightful song and chatter, with the always popular George Rhen and Minerva Ureka doing the heavy . parts while Martha Biehle, Paul Locke and the Real trio play up to them splendidly. The setting is, of course, an Alas kan one, replete with the possibilities of lighting and other effects, while the theme is one of the comedy possi bilities in which the Adelphia com pany and its chorus appear to decided advantage. Song and dance numbers interspersed are highly entertaining and the chorus has some Winter Garden runway specialties that are captivating.

(Special.) Since the law providing for a tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline and one- half a cent a gallon on distillate went into effect In Oregon on February 26, 1919, the state has received a total revenue of S498.928.72 from this source, according to a report pre pared by the secretary of state here today. The sales of gasoline in Ore gon since the inception of the law aggregated 46.906,297, while the dis tillate sales exceeded 6,973.150 gal- Ions. The first year's experience showed that more than 36,466,000 gallons of gasoline and 5,269,000 gallons of dis tillate have been sold, on which the tax amounted to S390.912.22. Com paring the sales of March, April and May, 1919, with the sales during the same months in the year 1920, it was found that in 1919 a total of 7.637.114 gallons of gasoline and 1,- 492.111 gallons of distillate, as against 2. 813. vol gallons of gasoline and 704,568 gallons of distillate in 1920 were sold. The tax on the sales dur ing these months In 1919 amounted to $83,828.72, and in 1920 to S108.016.SO, or a gain in the year 1920 over 1919 of $24,186.78. In the event this ratio is main tained during the remainder of the year the sales of motor vehicle fuel for the period embraced between March 1, 1920, and March 1, 1921, the tax sales should aggregate $500, 000. This tax is remitted by the sec retary of state to the state treasury for the credit of the state highway fund, and is expended for road con struction and improvement. 10 DAYS GIVEN DRIVER Jail Sentence Imposed as Result of Reckless Speeding. 6616 Ninety- Frank' E.
