16 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PO RTL, AXD, NOVEMBER 24, 1918, SPEAKER CANDIDATES SURVEY LOCAL FIELD Aspirants Arrive in Portland "Just to' Look Around." FINAL RESULTS IN DOUB Jo-cnh F. Sintrr, Officer of Ilonse Since 1909, Again Candidate for Sergeant-at-Arms. It is surprising the number of legls lators who are coming to Portlan these davs "Just to look around." The Speakership fight in far from the thoughts, realiy. The solemn assur a nee is a-iven that they are not Inter ested in the subject and then at th first opportunity they mysteriously disappear in the mazes of hotel cor ridors. No lonirer is Portland a. quiet sector in the Speakership battle. All sorts oi conspiracies are being hatched to cap' ture votes. Without hesitation each candidate tries to steal away the sup portTS of his opponents and the ai is full of rumors, whispered in strict confidence and must not be repeated for worlds. One of these confidential rumors i that the other day. at Pendleton, i bunch of Eastern Oregon Representa tives got together and maoped out their programme on the organization. How many were in attendance is not known, but it is said that there were enough to do business. Another whispered confidence is th a Multnomah Representative suggested to J. 1 Pay. chairman of the Republican county committee, that the committee call a caucus of the Multnomah mem hers and get them to unite on someone. Chairman Iay decided that inasmuch as some of the Multnomah Representa tives did not f-el enough interest in the party to visit the headquarters dur ing the campaign and chip in 15 toward defraying expenses, he did not imagine they would pay any atten tion to a caucus call from the commit tee. So the motion for a county caucus has been laid on the table. Knowing the conflicting elements in the Multnomah delegation, the outside candidates for Speaker, such as Ben Sheldon. Semour Jones and Denton Bur dick. are brazenly stalking Multnomah members for Totes, having no regard for the fact that when they invade Multnomah they are poaching on the preserves of K. K. Kubli and Herbert Gordon. What is more to the point, both Jones and Burdick are said to have either first or second choice sup port from several of the Multnomah delegation. On the other hand, the game can be played both ways, for Kubli and Gor don have support in the Willamette Valley, a zone where Sheldon and Jones should, geographically, have every thing In sight between them. The members of the triple alliance Wash ington. Yamhill and Tillamook coun ties have all the candidates for Speak er guessing. The alliance has a bunch of votes and there is not a candidate who is not desirous of annexing them. Thus far the counties along the Co lumbia have not shown signs of activ ity, but gossip last night was to the effect that men from Co'umbia and Clatsop will be in town within a few days or a few hours. If they come, they can rest assured of a hearty wel come from every candidate or from agents of the candidates. There are approximately 15 men whom two or more of the candidates are claiming and each candidate is sin cere in the claim. Development of this angle has caused a bit of uneasiness, for it is palpable on the face of it that some one is being fooled. It is within th range of possibility that within a month there will be a merger of forces and the fight will simmer down to two contenders. But not one of the five has any desire or intention to be one of those eliminated. see taken care of in measures Intro duced by some colleague. Mr. Brownell is of the opinion that the State Highway Commission should have full say as to where state roads should be constructed and not be hampered by County Courts. 'State roads." says Mr. Brownell, "are for the benefit of the entire state and are not constructed for the espe cial assistance of the counties through which they happen to pass. Give a county a state road where the High way Commission believes it should be located and then the county can build 1-terals to it." Joseph F. Singer announces his can didacy for sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives. Since 1909 Mr. Singer has been an officer of the House and an efficient one. too, as he admits, and members agree. Mr. Singer's cjief worry now is his inabil ity to speak to Representatives without being asked who will be Speaker, and Mr. Singer's concern is the candidac) of Singer for sergeant-at-arms, and, having his own campaign, he must re main neutral on the Speakership.

Crissey, of this city, is in re ceipt of a letter from a United States Army officer, now stationed in Spain, under date of October 22, in which some details are given of the serious- your mushroom crop. Heretofore there i ness of the influenza epidemic in that Kverybody knows that mushrooms re grown from white, thread-like "roots." called spawn. On the quality of this spawn depended the quality of ied in the base hospital in France as a result of bronchial pneumonia resulting after he had been gassed. Death oc- urred October S3, exactly one year fter he had enlisted. Just previous to his notice Mr--Moore had learned that is son. who was in the Signal Corps, had won distinction by bravery in res- uing a comrade under fire. That particular unit of the Signal Corps was at its own particular busi- ess, somewhere on the front lines. nder heavy fire, when a Oerman shell plumped down among the boys. It urst with a roar, and it stretched Cor poral J. E. Lembcke, another Portland boy. flat on the torn ground, with wounds that placed him hors du com bat. Krom the Hun lines came a with ering blast of fire. Corporal Lembcke takes up the tale from his cot in a Red Cross hospital in letter to his sister, Mrs. George K. Cromwell of 7703 Fifty-ninth avenue outheast. When Mrs. Cromwell re ceived the letter she passed it along to Mr. and Mrs. Moore, properly con cluding that it might strike their parental fancy. "Can't figure out. for the life of me. how it came that the concussion from the explosion didn't kill me," remi nisced Corporal Lembcke. "For 10 min utes afterward I could hardly keep from going down and out. "I can see little Moore yet he isn't- bigger than a minute as he picked me up bodily and packed me behind a hilL How he worked with me to keep me from going unconscious. Tou will do me a great favor if you will look up his folks. Tell them that they can be proud of their son, the way he labored, though exposed to shellfire. getting me to safety." Chapter two of the story is the single enclosure which Gale Moore sent home to his parents, without comment a letter written to him by Corporal Lembcke from the hospital. "Gale, I certainly appreciate the way you helped me when I got hit," wrote the wounded comrade. "You certainly were there when it came to being on the job the kind that will stay witba comrade to the last." Toung Moore was afterward gassed, death resulting. He enlisted in the Signal Corps after twice failing to pass the required examinations for the Navy, and had been in France about six months. His choice of the Signal Corps service was characteristic, as his bent had been strongly toward the sciences of that branch. He was a student at Franklin High School, when he reared a wireless outfit on the residential back lot and mastered wireless telegraphy. . has been only one best way of getting high quality spawn producing it sci entifically from the flesh of the mush room.

An excerpt from the letter reads as follows: "I believe that I told you all of Spain is overrun with an epidemic of some sort of grip and people are dying by the thousands. The death rate in Barcelona has gone up about 500 per cent above normal. In fact, the past two days have been worse than that, since we had nearly 1000 deaths in that time. It certainly looks dismal to see funeral processions going along the streets at night with lights on the hearses. They give them numbers at the cemetery, and they have to await their turns to bury their dead, but under the present circumstances that is about all they can do." school principals, all of whom are re ceiving more than $3000. The Oregon law requires that the levy shall be made at the nearest mill or tenth of a mill after the required number of dollars has been raised. Eight-tenths of a mill will provide an increase of 230,000. or $400 more than will be actually needed. The last tax levy was for 28.5 mills. The proposed additional levy will Increase the levy 3 per cent, or 80 cents on every $1000 worth of property, according to K. H. Thomas, county shool clerk. The tax limitation amendment to the Oregon constitution prevents the school board raising the salaries of teachers without first putting the mat ter to the vote of the people. Legal voters at any election to increase the tax levy comprise all citizens of the district, men or women, who are 21 years of age and have resided in the district 30 days immediately preceding the election, and who have property in the district as shown by the last county assessment, or who can present satis factory evidence that they have stock. shares or ownership in any corporation, tirm or co-partnership having property I assessed in the district, as shown by tne last county assessment. The polls will be open from noon until 8 P. M. Tuesday.
