DELEGATION SPLITS
10 DIFFERENT WAYS
National Committeemanship
and Place as Chairman Is
Sought by Many.
NONE VENTURES FORECAST
Only Certainty I Thai Oregon Mem
bers In Chicago Convention Will
Vole for Rooeerelt Acker
son AVanU Job.
Ask either of the 10 delegates from
this state to the Republican National
Convention who will be elected Na
tional committeeman and he will tell
you be doeen't know. Inquire from the
am delegate who will be chosen
chairman of the delegation and exer
clae the exceptional privilege of an
nouncing the vote of the delegation In
the convention and he will again reply
negatively. In both Instances his an
swer will be entirely dependable.
The fact Is. none of the delegates Is
prepared to make even a forecast of
what the delegation will do In the elec
tion of chairman and committeeman.
IVlegts are sure of only one thing
that the delegation will vote for Roose
velt In the convention. They are cer
tain of this, because the delegation Is
under Irrevocable pledge to support
the ex-President for the Presidential
nomination In the convention.
IHvtales lleaehea Tea Waya.
None of the l delegates Is advertis
ing the fart, but If any two of the 14
think alike on any one of the several
matters that muet come before the
delegation for action, the secret ban
not been di.vlojird. As a matter of
fact the del-gate, although they hava
not been called together, ara divided
In nearly la directions over the elec
tion of both a National committeeman
and a chairman of the delegation. With
possibly one or two exceptions, each
delegate actually wants to be given
one of the two positions.
It la probable that the delegates will
not get tocether anJ organise until
thev reach lhlc.iK a day or two be
fore the convention, which will as
semble June in. Ralph E. Williams
would be re-elected National commit
teeman. The same place Is sought by
enteral of the delegate Including C. H.
Carey. A. V. Swift. 1'r. II. W. Co It.
J. N. Smith. Thomas McCurker and. In
raee of a pinch. Senator Hourne hag
given out the word that he would ac

K-r chalrmnn of the ilelegallon.
L'harlea W. Aider-son. of this city. Is
n aspirant. Arkcreon considers that,
inasmuch a he received the highest
number of votes In the election, ha la
entitled to this honor. He says C 11.
l ar. y and IL '. Campbell, tbe latter
a landtdate for chairman, ara both
"knocking him bt-auee he Is -not
big enough a man for the Job." This
baa aroused Ackerson's anger, and he
has lhreat-ne.1 to support Hourne for
National committeeman If Carey and
fampbell do nt r-ase saying Unkind
thins: about hun.
Krlenda of Mcfusker take exception
to the contention of Ackerson and hia
claim that he should be elected chalr
r.aii because of the large vote ha ra
crited. They point to the fact that
M.fusker r-ceived the high vote In
Multnomah founty. In which Ackerson
el-o resides, and that this should be
taken as tbe real teat of the popularity
of the two delegates.
naea aad !salth taateod.
In the case of Fred R. Bynon and
Ir. J. N. Hmlth, the two delegates from
Marion fonnty. relations are also aome
what strained. ilynon avers that
jitnlth and his friends tried to elimi
nate him from the contest befora the
primary election. This made Bynon
the mure determined to remain In tha
race, and be won out. as did also Smith.
Hynon now stands as a free lance, and
he la not making any pledges as to tha
organization of the delegation. In the
matter of the election of a National
committeeman. Mr. Hynon contends that
the m:in to be elected by the delegation
should be acceptable to the candidate
for President nominated at the Chl
cao convention. Kor this reason ha
would defer the election of committee
man until the convention baa nomi
nated its ticket.
All Is not sweet harmony among the
Ave delegates chosen from this county.

dent. Naturally this ruffled the uni
formly good nature of Mcfusker. who
platnlv told the ardent Roosevelt
booster whst ha thought of such asper
a'nni on his stand as a progressiva.
The Kepubllran delegates will not go
t.. fhtcsao In a body, but each will
.hoose hia own time for leaving.
inong the first to depart for the con
vention cltv will be Thomas McCusl;er.

ington. May li. Although there are
approximately 35.OuO.Ouo eligible voters
In tha Unite. I States. It Is doubtful
whether all the rival candidates for tha
Presidency combined can bring- out to
the polls next November mora than
three-fifths of the aggregate num
ber. If the usual proportion of Increase
In the vote should be developed this
year, tha total popular vote for Presi
dent would exceed 15.ooo.0o0.
According to the last census there ara
1..141 males of sere In the continent

1 reasonable number of men who were
dlsquallf led from exercising the fran
chise because of education or other fall
ings, or because they are aliens not yet
naturalised, there are about Si.tH'O.ooo

Throuah comparison of the aiatls
tlcal tables Just Issued br two bureaus
of the Ivpartment of Commerce and
l-ahor. the Interesting showing Is msde
that there are more Ihsn 10.000.000
males of voting as In the United
States, exclusive of Insular possessions,
who either do not have or do not ex
ercise the franchise. By coincidence
the tabulations of the Bureau of Statls-tl-
relating to the number of votes
which It is expected will ba cast at the
next Presidential election wera Issued
In tha same week as tha official totals
of the "potential voting strength of tha
Nation." prepared by experts of tha
Census Office from fit-urea collected In
the last decennial census.
The Bureau of Statistics says that
the a-rand total of the popular vote for
all condldatea for the Presidency next
November, for the first time In the his
tory of the country will be registered
on more than JS.0OO.00t ballots. In tha
last Presidential election In 108 1.
7.0O votes were cast. In 100 there
were U.SeS.oo voters who exercised
their rights to enitaae In the great
polling contest. Consequently It is es
timated the same ratio of Increase will
brln out mora thsn 1S.000.000 votes
next November.
Tha Bureau of Statistics says: "Tha
total number of votes cast In 10 was
2 4 917 000; ' In 10. lJ.Hi.000; In USS:
U04V00O. and In 1ISS. ll.lll.000. Di

Patewttal Vetera Jl early 3 Per Cent.
A preliminary statement of tha Cen
sus Bureau showing the distribution of
tbe male population il years of age
and over, shows the potential voting
strength of the Nation and of each
state and territory Is expressed by the
number of Its males 11 yeara of age and
over, excludtnr the foreign-born who
have not become naturalised, but by
thla la not meant the actual number of
voters In the several statea and terri
tories. It represents rather the num
ber of males who from tha standpoint
of age alone are eligible to vote, aalde
from any qualifications baaed upon ed
ucation, length of reeldenca or consid
erations of a 11 lea nature Imposed by
tha National or state Government. Tha
foreign-born whites are distributed ss
naturalized or having taken out first
papers, aa alien or unknown.
In 1S10 the number of malea of voting

Says I to Myself Says I
Alveolar Teeth
Is the Teeth to Buy Says I
The atmosphere Is prevalent with
bargain sales these days, and especially
fs tliis so in the commodity of teeth.
There are various periods during the
year when a merchant offers his stock
at a reduced price and in most cases
it affords him an opportunity to rid
himself of a worthless Job-lot and Is
not an occasion for rendering human
itarian service, as he would nave you
think. However, there Is no such thing
as a sale on teeth or a Job-lot of dentis
try. TEETH THAT ARE SERVICE
ABLE will cost you the same price the
year round. A man who desires an op
eration on his liver, appendix, stom
ach or any of his organs does not look
around for a cut-rate physician. Sur
gery is expensive and permits of no
half-priced codes, because it entails
knowledge, skill and power. The opera
tion on human teeth is surgery of a
most important nature and a reduction
in its fee necessarily entails an elimi
nation of quality which makes it beautiful-
and of skill, which makes it last
ing and serviceable. The standard price
of our work is measured by the stand
ard quality of our work. One weighs
the other and the balance Is accurate,
and your Investment is assured.
Mveolsr Teeth -Where Brldgework Is
Impossible.
If only your front teeth are left, say
3 or 4 or more, we can replace all
those that have been lost on both sides
clear back with perfect Alveolar teeth,
whilst bridge work would be impossible
even If you had 8 or 10 front teeth to
tie to. If you have only two back
teeth on each side, say molars, we can
supply all the front teeth that are
missing with beautiful, serviceable
melikf Alveolar teeth. This could not
possibly ba dona by the bridge route.
Suppose you have lost your last iback)
teeth, two or more upper or lower on
either side. We can replace them with
Alveolar teeth. The bridge specialist
would have to advise a partial plate
which would encumber your mouth as
won i. tn iie.In to destroy your other
teeth. Where you have lost a few
teeth there are dentists who would ex-
tract all the rest to make room for a 1
Plate. (Where people have no teeth i
we make plates, too. And when we do I
they look I!Ke they grew there. They
are scientifically and artistically built 4
for service and comfort as well as 1
i a4v i ir.ven where brldgework is J
possible there is no comparison be
tween the two. A very large percent
age of our work is taking out bridse
work put in by supposedly high-class
dentists and replacing it with the bea
tiful and artistic Alveolar Teeth. And,
unlike brldgework in another respect,
it is practically painless. No boring
or cutting Into the gums, nothing to
be dreaded. Now, then, prices being
equal, which would you choose?
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up by most dentists as in
curable, is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, but we can do any
thing that is possible in dentistry, and
what we do is always of -the very high
est class. Our booklets. Alveolar Den
tistry, are free. Write for one if you
cannot calL We have samples of our
work to show at all times, and a mul
titude of references who are wearing
Alveolar Teeth.
