10 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 16, .1920 M'CIIT BITTERLY RED BY JOiSOil Delegate Accused of Betray ing Oregon Voters. SENATOR SENDS LETTER Refusal at Convention to Abide by Results of State Primary Called Traitorous Action. Hiram "W. Johnson has written to Sanfield ilacDonald excoriating Wal lace McCamant because of the latter' refusal, as an Oregon delegate, to vote for Johnson in the -Chicago con vention. Mr. Johnson, after the con vention, informed Mr. MacDonald. who was his primary campaign manager In Oregon, that he would have a state ment to make regarding McCamant later, and yesterday the statement ar rived in the mail. In part of his statement Johnson is in error. He says he was told that McCamant, in nominating Coolidge for vice-president, said he was following the instruction of the Oregon voters. Mr. McCamant's remark at the time was that Oregon had instructed the delegation for Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts but that Senator Lodge requested that his name not be put forward, as it would embarrass him. Mr. McCamant, in his explanation, avoided' mentioning Senator Lodge, however. Senator Johnson's letter follows: Condition Held Intolerable. "Dear Mr. McDonald: To you and the good people of Oregon, who were so kind to me during the recent pri mary campaign, 1 want to express my very great appreciation. I wish that it were possible to thank every man and woman personally, but unfortun ately I cannot do more than say to all that 1 am very, very grateful to them. "There was presented at Chicago a condition intolerable to these who be lieve our people have thi right to express themselves nd then have their will honestly recorded. In a very intense contest, the men and women of Oregon declared for my candidacy. When ih-iij. preference was thus expressed, fair dealing and common honesty alike required that the delegates selected execute In good faith tho solemnly registered In structions of the people. Any dele gate who could not keep the faith of the people should have resigned and given way to another who could Action Called Betrayal. "In the face of the Instructions of the republicans of Oregon certain delegates went to Chicago wih the definite purpose of breaking theli promises and betraying their people The wrong they did was not to me. Their betrayal was not of a par ticular candidacy. "The, wrong they did was to the people of Oregon and their betrayal was of the Tank and file of the republican party. The men who were thus recreant to their trust, who violated their faith and betrayed their people, should be held up to public odium and obloquy. They should be branded before the people whom they misrepresented and to whoso expressed instructions they were traitors. . "The most flagrant of the cases was that of McCamant, who resides, I am told, in Portland. This man published in the pamphlet Issued by the secre tary of state for the information of voters, the following statement: 'I have avoided committing ' myself to any candidate for president in 'order that 1 might be in a better position to support the candidate who wins out at the Oregon primary.' "Because of this statement and their reliance upon it, many republicans in Oregon voted for McCamant. I re ceived while in Chicago many tele grams and have since received many letters from citizens of your state, telling me that they voted for Mc Camant because of his promise and their reliance upon it. McCamant no sooner was elected than he did every thing In his power to thwart the ex pressed will of the people. He not only deliberately lied to the republi cans of Oregon but immediately after his'selection set about to betray them. Prom the moment of his arrival at Chicago, his every word and vote were in violation of his personal pledge and the registered instructions of his people. "And I am told that this man sub sequently in the national convention, in nominating Mr. Coolidge for vice president, said, unblushing!-, that Tie did so following the instructions of the people of Oregon. In stating he was following instructions in nom inating a vice-president, while vio lating them in nominating a presi dent, he added hypocrisy to his other offenses. A man who acts thus, like McCamant, is unfit for association with those who believe in good faith, fair dealing and honesty. In the de liberations of decent people, hereaft er, he should be set apart as a false trustee, a political Judas, who, with a lie upon his lips, won the confi dence of his people only . to betray them. Sincerely yours, "HIRAM JOHNSON'." MISS LOUISE LINTHICUM was a charming young hostess last night when she entertained at a dancing party for 35 couples, in cluding members of the younger set.

Police Liquor Scandal Causes Ac tion by Efficiency Body Fed eral Authorities May Act. George D. Mathews, motorcycle pa trolman, was dismissed by action of the police efficiency board yesterday, and L. A. Wiles, another motorcycle patrolman, was suspended from the police force for 30 days as the re sult of the police liquor scandal which became public Wednesday. The action of the efficiency board yesterday followed the summary dis missal of Motorcycle Patrolman Scott by Chief of Police Jenkins the pre ceding day. The three policemen are said to have been involved in a conspiracy to take liquor from alleged ,boot leggers and divide the spoils between them. Wiles is said to have refused to share in the division of the liquor, and for that reason he was not so severely dealt with. According to information given out yesterday bootleggers operating from a ship in the harbor had engaged a taxi driver to transport liquor" from a point on the Linnton road to Port land. The taxi driver entered into a conspiracy with Patrolman Scott to arrest the bootleggers as they landed with the liquor, the agree ment being that Scott and the driver were to 'divide the spoils. About the time the arrest was scheduled to occur the other two po licemen are said to have passed by, and offered to assist in making the arrest, when Scott told them he was waiting for a party. Later the two men arrested on landing with their liquor are said to have been released and the liquor divided. It is probable the entiFe matter will come up for an investigation by federal authorities. Women's Activities Coffee Drinkers 'metimes . feel a twinge of dissatisfaction.
