TTIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1920 FARIV1ER-LABDR PUTS , TICKET. INTO FIELD 155 Out of 391 pelegates An swerr Rollcall. OLIVE BRANCH HELD' OUT Surface Harmony Prevails at Con tention in Seattle; Cottrell Beaten for State Secretary SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) While the major political par ties were selecting- their nominees Jn the state-wide primary today, dele Kates assembled at the Labor temple under call of the new farmer-labor party and nominated candidates for presidential electors. United States senator, conrrass and all state, coun ty and legislative offices to be voted next November. . f The convention -was mad up of delegates representing1 the several units that met at Yakima In July to formulate a political programme. Un der the call, 331 delegates were en titled to seats and 155 responded- to theur names, according to the report of the credentials committee. Twenty four counties were represented. The non-partisan league, the committee of 48, the workers' non-partisan league and the triple alliance were the units most conspicuously active in the ere ation of the new party. The rail way men's welfare league, wflich also met aw Yakima, did not participate, nor was It recognized in any manner. directly or Indirectly. Olive Branch In Evidence. David C. -Coates. state chairman of the farmer-labor party, was elected "permanent chairman of the conven tion, and C. R. Cottrell of Kent, a former officer of the old triple alli ance, permanent secretary. Cottrell placed Coates in. nomination, which was fbllewed -by the nomination of Cottrell for secretary by a member of the Coates organization. This wae an indication that the olive branch was very much in evidence, inasmuch aa Cottrell and the Coates-Short fac tions had a falling out several months ago which nearly disrupted the triple alliance. Surface harmony- p'revk.iled throughout the deliberations, al though when it came to the nomina tion of state officers Cottrell" was de feated for secretary of state by a vote of 134 to 253. Mayor C. A. Harlin of Wenatchee, a retired butcher, win ning. King county voted 41 for Harlin to H tor Cottrell, and Pierce county voted 22 for Cottrell to 4& votes for Harlin. ' The convention delegated to a nom inating committee the task, of sub mitting a list of recommendations and with but two exceptions the re port of the committee was adopted by the convention. Robert Adair of Olympia. a former' employe of the state industrial insurance commission, was' nominated for state auditor over G. I. Maeten of Tacoma, a railway employe, and Elmer. 3. Smith of Cen tralia, who was one of the defend ants acquitted in the trial of the men charged with the "armistice day mur ders." was nominated for attorney peneral over Charles B. Sampley of Bellina-ham. who had received the Vilo-hmt vote in the committee. Unanimity marked, the remainder of the nominations alter tne coniesia had been decided. tieoKraphical Lines Drawn. Geographical considerations dic tated some of the nominations, and there was a general tendency on the part of the committee and the dele gates to make an equitable distribu tion of the offices among the consoli dated units represented in the new party. . The farmers' non-partisan league was recognised In the nomina tion of Robert Bridges for governor E. W. Bowles of Prosser for lieuten ant-governor and S. J. Smyth of Goldendale for commissioner of pub lie lands. Organized labor named C. J. France -for United States senator and James A. Duncan' for congress in the First district; the private sol dier3 and sailors' league obtained the nomination of Its state , organiser. Frank Pease, for state treasurer; so cialists probably will be charged with -thp nomination of C. A. Harlin of Wenatchee for secretary of state; the state arrange is represented by the nomination of A. M. Mecklam of Ta coma for Insurance commissioner, and women got four, of the seven presi dential electors and the nomination for superintendent of public instruc tion The scattered elements in which all may claim a share, have Robert Adair, nominated for state auditor; Elmer S. Smith for attorney general and three presidential electors to their credit. Paul i-. aionr or seat tie started the . machinery that put the name of Smith on the ballot. The committee on platform and res- olutiojis was composed of Oliver T. Kriekson, chairman; William Short, Seattle; A. W. Swigert, Yakima; H M. Caven, Kitsap; James A. Duncan King; Charlea Browar, Snohomish; J C Kingsbury. Grays Harbor; H. E. Niekoli. Yakima, and W. J. Lewis, Spokane county. Bridges I Acclaimed. Robert Bridges, selected at the Yakima convention as the choice of r.eary all the participating groups as their candidate for governor, received the nomination by acclamation yes terday. C. J. . France defeated C. J Chamberlain of Fuyallup for nomlna tion as United States senator. C. P. Bush of Clarke county, Who presided -over the convention of th farmers non-partisan league at Yak ima, was defeated tor lieutenant gov crnor by E. W. Bowles of Prosser. Bush was a member of the populist legislature in 1897 when Bridges was state land commissioner, and this point was urged in his favor on the floor by the delegate who submitted his name. Senator Iverson of Pouls- bo, Kitsap county, waa defeated for the same nomination, after he had made an impassioned speecU defend ing his record In the last legislature O. I. Masten of Tacoma. who received the highest vote in the nominating committee for auditor, was not pres ent at the convention, nor had h communicated to any of the delegates a desire to go on the. ticket. Defeat Traced to Row. The defeat of Chamberlain for nom ination as United States senator may be traced. In part, to hia row with William Short, president of the fed eration of labor, at the time Cottrell and Short clashed. Chamberlain later went over to the non-partisan league and was not active in triple alliance quarters. Jean vStovall. speaking for the women, urged the nomination of Rev. M. H. Marvin for lieutenant-governor. Marvin made a plea for harmony, de claring that the report of the nomi nating committee should be ratified if possible, Inasmuch as the committee had given close attention to the prob lem of geography in the distribution of the offices. He withdrew his name. Bridges pledperl the influence if hi-; of i'"e. if e'tcted. to preserving the guaranU.ea udder, tb.6 -constitution e the -right of free speech, free assem blage .and free press, and promised to make war on monopoly in every form.

Boh "candidates may be for all I know in favor of some kind of a league, but as to the basis on which that league, if we fe to have one. is to rett there is a fvndamental and irreconcilable difference," Senator Borah declared. The present leagne of nations plan would be ineffective without articles 10 and 11," Borah said, "and Cox has shown that he is in full accord with President Wilson in the view that rticle 10 should be retained un changed." ' Two Positions Contrasted. "Senator Harding has declared his unalterable opposition to Article 10, declaring that it represents not jus tice but force, not liberty but' oppres sion, not peace but war," the Idaho senator declared, "while we know Governor Cox would ubo his great powers as president to sea that the contract covered in Articles 10 and 11 is made binding the whole nation to use, if necessary, all our wealth and man power in guaranteeing the terri torial Integrity of all other members or the league. m The standard set up in this league an wrong," Borah declared.

"If I had my way about it," h continued, "I would write Into the constitution of the United States provision that no war should ever be begun by our country except in absolute defense against invasion or actual attack unless the question lias been submitted to a vote of the peo pie," Shooting at Man on Union Avenue Said: to Have Endangered Lives of Pedestrians. Though the coroner's jury held no one criminally liable for the death of Robert W. Hedderly at the hands . of police and federal officers, the affair will be investigated thoroughly by the. Multnomah county grand jury at the request of the widow and other relatives who are not satisfied with the action taken at the inquest. The grand jury probe will begin Thursday afternoon and probably will be under the direction of Thomas Maguire, deputy district attorney. Relatives of the- dead man believe thatJ his death was due to gross careless ness in the discharge of duty -by the police and federal officials and that I more than censure is due the person responsible for the killing. Barnett I H. Goldstein is expected to represent I the family. I Hedderly was shot on the night'of I September 10 and died the following I day from wounds received. He was suspected of bootlegging and as -he drove away from arresting officers a fusillade of shots followed in which he was mortally wounded.

" HOOPER DENIES CHARGES PURCHASING AGENT EXPLAINS ACTS TO CHIEF. Husband's. Salary of $40 a Week Not Enough to Satisfy Her Craving, Says Wife. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Margaret Stuart, aged 18, a pretty Canadian bride, was weeping penitent tears in the city jail today. where she was charged with having deluged Seattle department stores with worthless checks. "I did it because I wanted pretty clothes," she sobbed to detectives. Her husband earns $40 a week. which, she says, is not -enough to provide the luxuries she craves. The girl has iever rcen in trouble before, has no police record, and her very evident unsophistication moved the usually hard and skeptical detective force today to shield her from in quisitive reporters. With her husband, she lives at the Imperial hotel. Fourth avenue and Union street. Her home is in Quebec, Canada. She was married four months ago. .. .. Store detectives, co-operating with the police, have been trying .to traee the bad-check passer for several days.

When arrested Mrs. Stuart attempt ed to maintain a boldfront, but when the jail) bars loomed' before her she broke down. At first her only reply to police qvestlons was: "I don't know why I did it. I must have been crasy." But later she admitted that it was her irresistible longing for "easy money" and luxuries which turned her from the "straigo-and narrow' pain.
