IIE SUNDAY CSbXTAN. POTITXAND. APRIL 22, 1917. 17 4 . ( i 3 POLITICAL WOUND HEALED Iff BRIDE Charles Calmer Hart, Widely Known Newspaperman, Nearly Names President. CALIFORNIA TRICKS HIM Justice Hughes Picked Ahead of Time as Candidate and Record Nearly Established; State That Costs Victory Provides Wile. A romance of love and politics in which an enterprising newspaperman lost the distinction of making a Presi dent of the United States, but won a wife, was unfolded in the marriage at Seattle, Wash., yesterday of Miss Ruth Agnes Liraond, of Minneapolis, Minn., and Charles Calmar Hart, of Spokane, Wash., former city editor of the Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, and three times secretary of the National Press Club at Washington, D. C. The wedding was a surprise, and im mediately afterwards the couple started on a wedding tour that brought them last night to Portland and will take them up and down the Pacific Coast for several months, after which they will be at home in Spokane. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Limond, of Minneapolis, and a gradu ate of one of the Minneapolis high schools. Mr. Hart was city editor of the Spokesman-Review between 1908 and 1911 and for five years was its correspondent at Washington, D. C, where he was three times successively elected secretary of the National Press Club and also was secretary for three years to William L. LaFollette, Repre sentative in Congress from the state of Washington. Mr. Hart is a Spanish War veteran and native of Indiana. Bis Work Undertaken. The story of California's cheating Mr. Hart out of his Presidential can didate but instead bestowing upon him a wife is an interesting one, in the light of passed events. While Mr. Hart was correspondent for the Spokesman Review and other newspapers in Wash ington he conceived tho rather large idea that it was within the power of someone with the proper amount of foresight and political energy to pick the next Republican Presidential nomi nee. He had implicit faith in the pos sibilities of a boom for Senator Borah, of Idaho, so he organized a bureau in the National capital, which he an nounced had no less ambitious designs than the making of a President. Text to Mr. Borah his preference was for Charles K. Hughes, then an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. A statement was sent broadcast and published in the newspa pers throughout the country that the Republican party must tako advanced ground in the 1916 campaign and that the one way to show its sincerity would be to nominate either Senator Borah or Justice Hughes. Senator Borah Is Backed. Mr. Hart then went to Boise, Idaho, to obtain Senator Borah's consent to the use of his name in the campaign of publicity and organization. Senator Borah demurred,- but agreed to get be hind a Hughes boo. 7, and encouraged Mr. Hurt to go ahead. The would-be maker of a President continued on his way, giving out pro-Hughes interviews up and down the Pacific Coast and all the way from California to Maine, which took him into every state. But for a brief vacation 'at Coronado Beach during the hardest period of his political labors in California, Mr. Hart might yet be unsoothed from the po litical prank played by California the second week in November last year when that state kept Mr. Hughes out of the Presidential chair. While at Coronado Mr. Hart met Miss Limond, and from that time on, it is evident now, he was grooming himself to be a bridegroom Just as industriously as lie was grooming Mr. Hughes for the Presidency. "Every cloud has a silvery lining," Mr. Hart explained after Lis arrival here. Mr. and Mrs. Hart are at the Mult nomah Hotel. newed vigor.

For the first time In Oregon, because of the existence of a state of war between the United States and the land of their birth, final papers were denied men of German nativity. i It Is a peculiar position In which these men, August Voger, Carl Kuehn and Gustave Schmidt, find themselves. They have sworn that they wish to renounce all alleelance to Kaiser Wil- helm and yet they cannot be received as citizens of the United States now. Virtually, they are men without a coun try. Their petitions were "continued be cause of nationality" and the continua tion is not a bar to future citizenship, merely preventing the naturalization of alien enemies during the course of the war. Final papers were driven 21 aliens by Judge Tucker yesterday. They are: Hans Chrlstensen, Denmark; Rudolph Wil1 Russia: John Wesley Angus.
