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.

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

were set forth voluminously by Sen

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

"Nearly every coast state, east and
west, favored the exemption of coast

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."

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.

work only when a pretty traveling
saleswoman introduces her models in

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

funny in Its pantomimed facial ex

Levy Collected on 46,006,297 Gal
lons of Gasoline and 5,973,-
150 ot Bistfllate. '
SALEM. Or., June 28. (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.
