FIGHT WRED
Groups Maneuvering for
Mastery of Organization.
MEETING TO BE TONIGHT
Patriotic Societies, Chairman
Day's Supporters and Lock
wood Backers Lined Vp.
Three groups are maneuvering
for the mastery of the republican
county Central committee tonight.
John L. Day, chairman, ha8 issued a
calLfor the meeting at the audito
rium at 8 o'-clock. The purpose of
the meeting is to organize, elect a
chairman, secretary and member of
the state central committee.
There are 426 precincts in Multno
mah county and' each precinct has a
member of the committee, elected at
the recent primaries. So much in
terest is 'being taken in the organ
ization of this official body that
there probably will be few absen
tees Each of the three groups bat
tling for control is doing everything
possible to have all of its own dele
gates in attendance, so tonight's
gathering probably -will be the larg
est that the committee has ever had.
There have been contests in other
years for control,' but never has the
.fight been waged so aggressively.
Patriotic Societies One.
The Oregon Federation of Patri
otic societies!, which sponsored the
orange ticket in the primaries, con
stitutes one of the groups. The fed
eration succeeded in having elected
a large number of precinct commit
teemen. This faction caucused last
lweek in Judge TazwelKs courtroom
ana agreea to euppori j.. a. naiLKy
for state committeeman and Walter
Eddy for county chairman. It also
voted down a resolution to support
the entire republican ticket in the
November election.
The second group consists of the
Bupporters of Chairman Day, who
want to retain him in that position.
Mr. Day has been chairman of the
county republican committee for
many years.
Lockwood Club la Third.
The republican club of Charles E.
Lockwood is the third group. See
ing the fight between the forces be
hind Eddy and Day, Lock-wood is
ready to offer Ralph W. Hoyt as a
compromise candidate for chairman.
All newly elected members of the
county committee have been in
formed by Lockwood that by reason
of their being precinct committee
men they are members of the ad
visory board of the club. Mr. Lock
wood issued a call to committeemen
a few nights ago and a number re
sponded. It was at this gathering
that the club decided to back County
Commissioner Hoyt.
No one familiar with the political
situation in Multnomah county is
looking for a pink tea affair at the
auditorium. The fireworks are ex
pected to start immediately after
Chairman Day calls the meeting to
order.
but the line marches on. They were,
1 think I said, addicted to olive
branches. Such families as ten, 11,
five, six and seven children were
the rule among those earlier Geers.
There were many grandchildren,
and now well, take myself, for in
stance, I am a grandchild and a
great-grandfather. .- Yon see, -there's i
an opportunity for mathematics. I
should say, and most conservatively,
that there must be 300 Geers of our
family around somewhere.
"Three hundred Geers. That's al
most a visitor for every day in the
year if I invited them one at a
time. I have, however, decided to
call them in together, around the
groaning board, as it were. What
then? . I shall take the first authen
tic census of the clan."
Whereupon the ex-governor whit
tled i another pencil, waved a hand
for silence, and again attacked the
estimate. He indicated that he in
tended to work 'it out on the law
of averages and the logical assump
tion of great-grandchildren.

DANCE ID CALLED
.. f
COURT SUMMONS OAK GROVE
PROPRIETOR.
Contention Made That Pavilion,
Under State . License, Not
Subject to County Rule.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 6. (Spe
cial.) The controversy between the
Oak Grove dance pavilion and the
county authorities, which has caused
one breach in the county court, fig
ured in the local primary election,
and has occupied tne attention of
civic clubs for tne last several
months, took on a new angle-Monday
following an official protest
against Sunday dancing. ,
The sheriff, under orders of the
court, notified Harry Tregaskis, the
manager, to come into court and ex
plain how he conducted a dance
there Sunday, which was expressly
against the provisions of his county
license. Tregaskis explained that
he was operating under a state li
cense as a corporation and was not
subject to the county regulations.
Monday articles of incorporation
were filed by the "Oak Grove Beach
Social club," naming Harry Tregas
kis as president, M. F. Hobkirk as
vice-president and M. L. Hubbard as
treasurer. Ostensibly the purpose of
the club is to promote the "friend
ship and the physical and mental de
velopment of its members."
Tregaskis asserts that under the
state incorporation he is not sub
ject to the county's rules and that
the county franchise which was
granted him is not regular and bind
ing. No official action has been taken
in the case and what move is con
templated was not indicated.
The county license was granted
this year by the two commissioners
over a protest of the county judge
and in the face of considerable oppo
sition from people in the vicinity
of Oak Grove. During the recent
campaign the action of Commission
er Harris was used by his opponents
against his re-election.
It is understood that a request for
the revocation of the county license
ia to be made to the court. A license
recently was refused the Milwaukie
beach operators at Island station.

State Forester Pape and he gave
assurance of his interest.
There are 1,500,000 acres of

"It is a big subject and one of
