COLUMBUS. O.. Aug. 9- (Special.) 4
Of all the August and September state
primaries for the selection of candi
dates for the United States senate
and other offices, the primaries to be
fceld in Ohio tomorrow to name party
candidates to succeed Warren O.
Harding in the senate and James H.
Cox as governor of Ohio is the most
important.
Ohio always Is a pivotal state. This
year, for obvious reasons, it is more
pivotal than usual, inasmuch as the
vote for president In the state will
be affected by the popularity and
other qualities of candidates running
on the same ticket for United States
senator and governor. It is clear that
the result of the Ohio primaries to
morrow may have a vital effect on
the chances that Harding and Cox
have of carrying the state in No
vember. Democrats Well Organised.
So far as one man can make de
ductions from conditions to date, one
would be inclined to say that the
democratic organization appears to
have much more solidarity and much
wore effective party discipline than
the republican organization.
The republicans, in fact, are shot
through with bitter factional contests
end vindictive personal disagreements.
Last spring, when Wood and Harding
were contending in the presidential
primaries of this state, the fight be
tween the two became so keen that
the leaders of each assured your cor
respondent that the wounds left by the
contest would be so bicter that neither
man could carry Ohio in the Novem
ber elections.
Rivals Say Hard Things.
The Wood people said that if
Harding were nominated he would
lose the votes of tens ot thousands of
republicans whose animosity had been
excited in the presidential primary
campaign.
The Harding leaders said the same
thing of Wood. .With the democrats
however, this sort of thing was
avoided and smoothed out by the
strength and discipline of the party
organization. In the presidential
primary last April not only Cox but
Senator Pomerene also started out to
fight for the Ohio delegation. The
party discipline of the democrats,
however, was effective enough to rule
Fomerene out, and he withdrew.
All Contests Republican.
Precisely the same thing has again
happened in the primary campaign
for senator and governor, which cul- i
minatcs tomorrow. Vor governor the
democrats have, but one candidate.
There is no contest in their party for
that office. For senator also the
democrats have substantially only
one candidate, the minor one being
generally considered un.mportant.
With the republicans, on the other
hand, there are bitter contests -for
both the senatorial nomination and
the nomination for governor. For
senator there are three leading re
publican candidates. One is Frank
Willis, a former governor "and former
congressman who came forward into
the national eye recently by making
the speech which nominated Harding
at the Chicago convention. That
speech, considered from a vocal point
ot view, was a. national event. If
you like music you would walk a mile
to hear Mr. Willis roll the "o's and
trill the "r's in "four years ago."
, Toledo Man Candidate.
Another of the candidates for the
republican senatorial nomination
Walter Brown of Toledo. Mr. Brown
has never held public office, but has J
h-ia positions of the highest import
ance as a party official, and in the in
formal council of the party ,th third
is K. M. Wanamaker, who for many
years has been a judge of the state
courts. Among the three it is possible
only partially to trace the connection
of each with the party organization
and with the factions of it.
Mr. Willis might normally be the
beneficiary of the party machine, but
that appears not to be the case.
rcubtlcss one reason why is the fact
tnat the state machine, realizing that
Hording is identified so clQgely with
the regular party organization in this
state, is eager so far as the senator
eiiip is concerned to placate that ele
ment In the department which was
Identified with the old progressive
j-arty, and so the party organization
ib o ems, in a not too emphatic way, to
be supporting Walter Brown. Brown
Is decidedly entitled to the loyalty o
the members of the old progressive
parly.
Brown Roosevelt Man.
It would be fair to say that Brown
Hot merely In Ohio, but in the country
as a whole, was one of the 20 or 30
men who' were the principal leaders
of the old progressive party and the
rilncipai confidants of Mr. Roosevelt
w hen he was engaged in that enter
prise. It would probably also be fair
to say that among these. 20 or 30 men
Mr. Brown was one of the most sub
atKiitial. He Is a lawyer, able, and
has a better understanding than many
of the others of just how much of
that programme is practicable.
Judge Wanamaker was a pro
gresslve also, but belonged to the
more radical group of that party. As
a judge of the Ohio courts, he has
come into the public eye frequently
through handing down minority opin
ions in opposition to his fellow Judges
and in his friendliness to labor.
Wanamaker was counted originally
an independent and for many years
ha; had a large and Impressive inde
pendent following in the state. In the
present campaign, however, he is
handicapped by having done in Ohio
what Hoover did in the country. He
has sacrificed to a degree his former
independent and non-partisan follow
ins by formally identifying himself
wuh the republican party.
Candidates About Even,
The governorship of Ohio is, of
course, of less interest to the public
outside the state than the senatorship.
Moreover, the three candidates for the
republican nomination for governor
are of relative evenness and none
them would be of any special tnteres
to the public outside the state.
The candidate for the democratic
nomination for senator is practically
certain to win because he has only
an unimportant opposition in Mr. Ju
lian of Cincinnati. Mr. Julian is
wealthy business man who began as
a manufacturer of shoes more th
SO jearg ago, and Is now important
In many other business and financial
lines in Cincinnati. He is syrapaj
thetic to progressive measures and
has given much time and energy to
the promotion of social institutions
like health Insurance and the like.
The man who is certain to get the
democratic nomination for governor,
Mr. Donaghey, is the present auditor
of the state and has made the sort
of reputation which men frequently
make in the position of watchdog of
the treasury.
Barton National Figure.
Among the contests for congress
and other less Important offices then
is one which will be of decided inter
est to the public everywhere. For
practically a generation Thedodore
Burton represented a Cleveland dis
trict in congress. Then the state pro
moted him to the senate and re
served one term there. For the past
five years, however, he has been out
of office.. Now he is running for the
republican nomination for congress
in Cleveland again. He is a man of
such outstanding character and abil
ity that the outcome of this contest
is of national importance. Jf he
should win he would undoubtedly be
among the first five of the 435 mem
bers of the national lower house.

News of "White Terror" Sweeping

PARIS, Aug. 9. tSpecial cable.)
Grave news telling of the "white ter
ror" which is sweeping through Po
land is jDub'.ished here. It is brought
to Paris by a Polish socialist who
comes straight from the battle line
ar.d Warsaw.
"The Polish minister of the interior
and the police Officials are arresting
without mercy all socialists who are
even suspected of sympathizing with
the Russian reds." this Pole declares.
"Tens of thousands of our members
have been arrested. There is a veri
table orgy of persecutions, arrests
and massacres. The prisons are so
full that special concentration camps
have been formed, in most of which
typhus has broken out.
"Furthermore, the persecution of
the Jews has begun again. Polish re
action is qtilte like any other reaction
and so it attempts to confound the
Jews with the bolsheviki. Utterly re
gardless of ,iny justification, it ar
rests Jews and persecutes them gen-
rally. For example. 80 members of
the Jewish social democratic party,
known as the bund, have been ar
rested in three days, despite the fact
that 130 members ot the party are
municipal councillors throughout the
countiy.
Permission has Been aeniea me

boys and girls between the ages of

to travel on a railway train, for if lie

In the streets of Warsaw and their
beards are torn off.
"Even the Franco-British mission
has fallen in with the views of the
Polish government. The members of
the mission hold conferences twice
day with the army commanders. It is
well known that in the absence of
Marshall Foch, General Weygand will
be nominated soon as chief of the
Polish army."

to keep their armies concentrated east
of Warsaw. The Poles have been able
to ignore this advance, merely a dem
onstration, but it is considered likely
that the red Starr will avoid battle
in that fork until stronger forces can
be pushed toward Mlawa.
Heavy Fighting Continues.
Heavy lighting continues on the 80
mile front along- the middle Bug.
North of Brest-Litovsk the Russians
have obtained a footing on the left
bank of the river. To the south the
Poles command both banks of the
river.
The Polish general staff has re
jected the offer of General Weygand
of the French army to take command
of the Polish army if granted full au
thority, the Anglo-French mission in
Warsaw reported today.
Both General Weygand and.General
Delmas Radcliffe of the British mili
tarism ission have been insisting that
the situation was not hopeless.
The suggestons of Generals Wey
gand and Radcliffe included re
grouping of the Polish forces and
strategic movements.
Poles Reject Advice.
They advised strongly against
keeping a large part of the Polish
forces on the Galician front, but the
Poles were determined on these tac
tics because they feared that if east
ern Galicia passes out of their hands
It will be lost permanently.
It is known also that 800 picked
French officers composing the War
saw mission have found it difficult
to exercise whatever authority appar
ently has been allowed them.

BRTTAIX EXPECTED TO ACT
Advices Say Siege May Be Declared
Over Danzig. v
BERLIN, Aug. g. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Private advices from
Danzig predict that Great Britain will
in all probability be forced to pro
claim a state of siege over the terri
tory of the free city, should the soviet
army threaten to enter the Polish
corridor.
The fact that large stores belonging
to Poland are held in the harbor basin
is believed to furnish the bolsheviki
with the pretext for the advance.
An American business man passing
through Berlin declared American
mail and telegrams were being mis
carried and delayed because they were
addressed "Danzig, Poland."
Whether that port still is available
for J American and other liners in
view of the present political situation
is a matter of conjecture.
Danzig is overcrowded with Polish
and Russian emigrants seeking an
opportunity to embark for the United
States.
A special dispatch from Marien
werder to the Morgenpost said the ar
rival of soviet cavalry patrols at
Choawle presages a possible Russian
invasion of former German territory
ceded by the peace treaty. The east
ern outlet of the Polish corridor to
day's march distant. Poles are re
ported to be digging trenches at thw
point indicated, which is only about
nine miles from Soldau and the War
saw-Danzig railroad.
The correspondent urges that the
occupation by the bolsheviki of Prza
snysz. which might easily have been
defended," indicates that the Polish
troops are fast succumbing to bol
sheviki propaganda and that disci
pline is no longer prevailing.

allies desired to keep out. they
claimed, without having broken the

GASOLINE SHORTAGE
By E. TV. CLARK,,
Vice-President and General Manager, Union Oil Company, Cal.
On Tuesday night, August 3, the following telegram was sent to
the Governors of California, Oregon and Washington; to the
Mayors of all the principal cities of these states; to the various
Chambers of Commerce, and to the publishers of the great news
, papers of the Pacific Coast. This message speaks for itself.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 3. 1920. It is an estab
lished fact that the United States now con
sumes 436.000.000 barrels of crude oil a year,
while only 402.000.000 barrels are produced.
This leaves a national shortage of nearly
34.000,000 barrels.
There are more than 7.600.000 automobiles
and motor trucks In the United States, as
compared with 700.000 in 1911.
For your information the consumption of
California oil is estimated at 110.000.000 bar
rels for tills year, while only approximately
100.000.000 barrels will be produced. This
leaves an actual shortage of at least 10.000.
000 barrels.
In the year 1919 the total production rf
gasoline in the State of California was ap
proximately 300.000.000 gallons. The produc
tion for the year 1920 Is estimated at 400.000.
000 gallons. The estimated consumption of
the Pacific Coast states for the year 1920 is
estimated at approximately 550.000.000 gal
lons, leaving' a shortage of approximately
150.000.000 gallons.
In view of these facts the Union Oil Com
pany of California closed Its export, off ices
early in the year and has been making every
Sossible effort to meet the oil, gasoline and
istillate shortages.
At the same time we have attempted to
retain on the Pacific Coast the present low
gasoline prices, which are lower than at any
other point in the entire world. But it has
been absolutely impossible to supply the
gasoline required at the present low prices.
Automobiles have been strictly rationed even
through the producing sections of California.
Recently representatives of the Tarious
marketing companies, civic bodies and essen
tial industries were called before the Board
of Public Utilities of Los Angeles for the
purpose of considering the present gasoline
situation and determining how best to handle
it. At this conference we stated that we
could help to relieve the situation by import
ing gasoline, or coirld continue to sell only
what was possible for us to produce in this
state
At the unanimous request of those inter
ested, including the city of Los Angeles, we
adopted the policy of importation. In pursu
ance of this policy we have purchased and
are now shipping gasoline from the mid-continent
field and there have already been
shipped to us seven solid train loads, con
taining 175 tank cars of gasoline. Arrange
ments have been completed . for additional
shipments. -
The Union Oil Company of California hopes
that it will be able by this importation to
- take care of its portion of the tremendous
peak load requirements of the Pacific Coast
for the months of August and September.
Gasoline purchased In the mid - continent
field costs us 24 Vic per gallon f. o. b. shipping
point, to which must be added 6.43 cents per
gallon for freight. The total delivered price
is 30.68 cents per gallon.' In addition thereto
we must stand the shrinkage In transit and
the extra cost of storage and distribution.
For this reason we find it necessary to-ln-crease
the price of gasoline under our exist
ing schedules throughout the Pacific Coast.
Tou will note that we are not charging tha
entire cost of the importation against tha
gasoline imported, but are spreading the load
on as equitable a basis as is humanly possible.
Therefore, effective Wednesday morning,
August 4th. the price of our gasoline to the
consumer at basic distributing points will bo
as follows:
Seattle 8o
Portland 29c (Including stats
San Francisco.. .27c road tax)
Sacramento 2"H
Fresno 27 Vic
Pan Diego 27Hc
Stockton 27 Ho
Oakland 27c
San Jose 27Ho
Los Angeles. . ..27c
' It would be "absolutely Impossible for the
Union Oil Company of California to carry the
load of the purchase and transportation of
this imported gasoline without this increase
in price.
It is only fair that the public should know
that the Union Oil Company of California is
manufacturing and will continue to manufac
ture all the gasoline possible from its avail
able supplies of refining crude oils, and that
it is not exporting any gasoline from the
Pacific Coast.
The Board of Public L'tilitles of the city of
Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce and the Chamber of Mines and
Oils of California have made a thorough and
impartial investigation of the present short
age of petroleum products and the vnderly
ing causes thereof, and their findings are
available to all who seek further information.
I believe It necessary - that you nave the
Information immediately and at first hand so
that the situation may be thoroughly under
stood. It is for this reasea Uiat I am wiring
you direct.

FOR THIRTY YEARS
"That Is a Long Time to
Suffer," States Clemens,
"but My Troubles' Are
Over Now" Praises
Tanlac.
"Thirty years is a mighty long time
for a man to suffer. That's what I
had to do but I wn to say I'm in
fine health now and feel like I'm
starting life all over again." The
above statement was made recently
by Charles N. Clemens. 416 Jertey
street. St. Johns. Portland, Oregon,
while speaking of his remarkable re
covery by taking TaniiO. Mr. Clemens
is a cabinet maker in the employ of
the Fenner Mfg. Co.
"I am sixty-four years old. It was
back in 1890 that my stomach first
began to bother me and ofher troubles
kept coming on until it looked like I
I had everything in the world the
matter with me. My appetite was so
poor that sometimes I went all day
without eating hardly a mouthful, and
iha man in the restaurant often asked
me what I was coming in for, as I
ate so little. I had pains that would
start -in the pit of my stomach and
go all around my waist and on up
under my shoulder blades. Why, at
times T just had to grit my teeth to
be able to stand them. Gas would
form on my stomach and bloat me
up so tight I felt like my breath was
cut off entirely. My nerves were
shattered and often while walking
along the street some little noise
would upset me so bad I would Jump
three or four feet. I was subject to
awful dizzy spells and on several oc
casions while at work I got so fainty
and weak I fell right over on the
floor. I had sharp catching pains all
through my back and when I sat
down I would have to pull up with
both hands. I could never get much
sleep and it Just seemed I had played
out altogether.
"But Tanlac came my way and
when I started taking it, that was
the best thing I ever did in my life.
The second bottle turned things for
the better,- and I could Just feel my
troubles leaving me. 1 have taken
six bottles now and am feeling so
fine it seems I have been made over
into a new man altogether. My big
gest trouble now is my aopetite,
why, I can hardly get enough to eat
and the beauty of it all is that every
thing I cat -' grees with me. I never
have an ache or pain of any kind, in
fact, I don't know what it is to ever
be bothered in any way whatever now.
I have picked upten pounds in weight
and am simply feeling fine. I con
sider Tanlac a medicine in a class by
itself and don't hesitite one minute
to recommend it." Tanlac is sold in
Portland by the Ual Drug Co. Adv.
