diates Therefrom.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Auff. 18. (Spe
cial.) All political roads lead to Se
attle these days. The republican can
didates for governor are all working
out of Seattle, line commercial trav
elers, and even the candidates for
minor state- oftices find their way
here early.
Senator Ed T. Coman has just re
turned from the northwestern coun
ties, where Colonel Roland H." Hart
ley Is looked upon as the favorite son.
Just to return the compliment. Colo

ern Washington, where Senator Co
man is strongest. John A. Gellatly of
Wenatchee, with the southeastern
counties well organized, is again In
Seattle. Governor Hart will arrive
on Sunday and start on hia west side
tour Monday.

and strengthening hla organization,
John A. liellatley, it" ha just been
brought to Ugh, inaugurated several
weeks ago a system for putting a per
sonal touch into his gubernatorial
candidacy by use of an endless chain
of postcards. Mr. Gellatley started
fey sending his various organizations
a number of cards, a.skins that they
be signed and sent to frlendB. The
cards are printed and make the re
quest that the undersigned personally
requests the receiver's consideration
ol Mr. Gellatley as a candidate.
Gellatley- Worker Busy.
Gellatley headquarters In Seattle
have gradually been enlarged until
now extra room may be necessary,
they are so crowded. Volunteer
woikers and paid stenographers make
one portion of it appear to be as busy
as the Chicago pit. The cause of this
is the postcard system. Replies have
been received by the hundred and
more cards are being sent out.
Coman is going to visit the Co
lumbia river counties, after which he
wilt return to Seattle and close his
campaign in Pierce and King coun
ties. He conferred with John C.

left his local headquarters in charge
of Charles L. Manning while he is

Ray is at his best in the portrayal of
the country boy. That is, the public
at large firmly believes he is at his
best, for since he first attracted at
tention by his minor role in Frank
Keenan's "The Coward" he has played
nothing else but country youths,
blundered and aided by great bash
fulness and greater honesty. Inci
dentally, it is interesting to remem
ber Ray's recent announcement that
he is now filming "Forty-five Min
utes From Broadway," the stellar Tole
which is vastly different from his
rural swain interpretations.
"Homer Comes Home" has another
characteristic in common with each
of Ray's former successes. Its com
edy, which saturates the entire pro
duction, is clean, wholesome and ac
tually funny. The scenario is an
adaptation of a story of the same
name by Alexander Hull of Newberg,
Or., and which was recently published
in' a monthly periodical.
In tune with the adolescent, spon
taneity of the screen programme, the
Liberty is this week offering an "at
mospherlc setting" consisting of two
huge books, the covers of which are
entitled What a Boy Thinks" and
"What a "Girl Believes" and which
open upon a quaint old-fashioned lass
who carols of her daddy and a farmer
lad, equally pleasing, who sings of
his father.

GHAWBER FIGHTS DELAY
BOARD TOLTJ . PORT CAX BE
. SWITCHED EASILY.
Message ,to Shipping Board Says
Order Patting Portland and
Seattle Together Wrong.
The shipping board as it is
now
that
constituted passed . the order
placed Portland under the jurisdic
tion of Seattle, and can modify that
order just as easily, especially as no
additional expense to the board is
involved in what Portland asks.
This reply was telegraphed by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce yes
terday to W. S. Benson, chairman of
the shipping board, in reply to a
telegraphic statement from him stat
ing that he would prefer to wait until
the new board is appointed before
taking any action on Portland's pro
test against the creation of a new
northwest district of the shipping
board's division of operations, with
jurisdiction over Puget sound and
the Columbia river and headquarters
in Seattle, y
In his telegram to the Chamber of
Commerce, in response to protests;
Admiral Benson said:
"Inasmuch as the 'full- shipping
board is expected soon to be appoint
ed, two members of which will be
from, the Pacific coast, I prefer to de
fer action until that time. When
the full board has been appointed I
would like Portland to detail and
present in writing its reasons for ob
jecting to remain in the Seattle dis
trict. "It is my desire to build up all
Pacific coast ports without favoring
one over another, ana l can assure
you that Portland's protest will re
ceive my sympathetic consideration."
To this message H. B. Van Duxer.
president of the Portland chambes,
replied yesterday as follows:
"Every day and week that we are
left under the control of our most
destructive competitor embarrasses
that much the work we are trying
to do to help the board operate and
sell its ships. Through long and sad
expecience we know the complete un
fairness of this control and can see
no reason why it should be forced
upon us without so much as consult
ing our opinion or getting our evi
dence of how the plan injures con
structive work.
"The present board as now constl
tuted issued the order and we can
not understand why the game board
cannot moony it especially as no
additional expense to the ' board is
involved In what we ask."
RIVERS DECLARED ASSET
DEVELOPMEXT OF WATER
TRANSPORTATION" URGED.'
Senator McNarr, Jn Talk lo. Ad
Club, Asscras Should Utilize
Resources to l-'ullcst.
-Dcv-elopmcnt of water transporta
tion as the greatest commercial and
industrial asset of the state .was
ureed bv Senator McNary in aii ad
dress before the Portland Ad club at
tha club's luncheon yesterday In the
Benson hotel.
"For too many years," said the sen
ator, "we have been thinking of trans
portation only in terms pf railroads.
The greatest asset of Portland and of
the state of Oregon as a whole is the
Columbia and Willamette rivers, and
he Pacific ocean.
"It is a frlorlous thing that we have
the richest timber tracts, the finest
rult and the greatest wheat fields.
but of what use are these resources
f we lack the means to place our
Droductsin the markets of the world.
and still leave a fair margin of profit
for the producer?
If railroad rates are to increase
bound by bound, the only solution lies
In increased use of water transpor
tation." -
Senator JlcNary also expressed him
self as a strong; advocate of municipal
ownership of docks and piers, ana
declared the new merchant marine
aw one of tiie finest and most con
structive pieces of legislation ever
passed by congress.
Regarding Portlands ngnt ior a
35-foot channel to the sea, he said:
"Show congress that you have tne
commerce and the cargoes; that you
are doing all the business that can
be done with a 30-foot channel, ami
you will find that the 35-foot channel
comes without a struggle. The gov
ernment has ehown a strong inclina
tion to give preference In improve
ments to those ports which meet- its
expenditures fifty-fifty."
