16 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 1, 1919. DEMOCRATIC LINEUP CHANGES HH T iWewton McCoy Now National Committeeman, Is Word. .DR. MORROW IS BOUNCED Xolitics Produce Magio Transforma tion, So Chamberlain Pose May Not Be Indorsed. Bing! Just like that. Dr. J. "W. Mor row has been thrown out of the job of national committeemen for Oregon by the democratic national committee. "Wednesday afternoon the doctor -was seated on the throne, and Friday he was .thrown off the seat. Newton McCoy is triumphant. State Chairman Starkweather is tickled pink. Postmaster Myers smiles And smiles and smiles. The Chamberlain-Jackson-West faction is nursing .a figurative black eyeJ And there is a Sneaking suspicion that the mysterious influence known as "the administra tion" horned in and caused the national ', committee to reverse itself. McCoy Wires Glad News. Apparently, as a result of the merry Imix-up, Newton McCoy, whose antip athy to Senator Chamberlain extends to the fourth dimension and the nth degree, is the one, only and genuine democratic national committeeman for the state of Oregon. It was Mr. McCoy who wired the news of Dr. Morrow's banishment to Mr. Starkweather. Here is about what happened: Dr. Morrow was promptly seated by the national committee "Wednesday, a spe cial committee which investigated his claim reporting that he was legally elected by the etate central committee. Mr. McCoy, who presented himself with the proxy of W. H. Horntbrook, was invited to take his hat and go hence. "Wednesday afternoon State Chairman Starkweather. Mrs. Alexander Thomp son and Colonel R. A. Miller elected Mr. McCoy as national committeeman, over the protest of C L. McKenna and George Lovejoy, the latter two bolting the meeting. McCoy's credentials were telegraphed east, and he had certain other dope supplied him by Mr. Stark weather. Wires Begin to Bom. Thursday news came to Portland of Xr. Morrow's recognition by the na tional committee, and the fur began flying in the anti-Chamberlain camp. The seating of Dr. Morrow, a friend of Senator Chamberlain, was interpreted as an indorsement of Senator Chamber Iain's fight against the mistakes of the administration, and as a disapproval of the administration's attitude toward the senator. It had the Aspect of the na tional committee giving a backhanded Flap to Mr. Wilson. At least that was the way some of the anti-Chamberlain democrats viewed the situation, and they lost no time in sending some sizzling telegrams, it is rumored, to certain members of the president s offi dal family. Possibly Secretary of War Baker re ceived one of these wires, and maybe Postmaster-General Burleson received another, for both Baker and Burleson have felt the sting of Senator Cham berlain's caustic criticism. And If Messrs. Baker and Burleson were shown how to get even a little with the Oregon senator they might not overlook the bet. Evidence Changes Tint. Be that aa it may, all of a sudden the national committee underwent complete change of sentiment toward Dr. Morrow. With no more evidence than guided Its decision on Wednesday, it decided that the meeting of the rtate committee which elected the doc tor was illegal; that the "call was in sufficient." whatever that means. The doctor had. produced the record on Wednesday and it stood the acid test then, but overnight something hap pened. Apparently the political phase was brought to the attention of the committee, and the national committee was given to understand that th seating of Dr. Morrow was virtually upholding the contentions of Senator Chamberlain and disapproving of the way the administration has been act lng toward the senator. Something of the sort evidently oc curred, for Dr. Morrow -was ejected bag and baggage. The gladsome tidings were Immediately telegraphed to Chair man Starkweather by Mr. McCoy. As the news percolated around town yes terday, the anti-Chamberlain faction proceeded to gloat, as it was considered the first trench taken In the fight to defeat Chamberlain next year. Seqnel May Follow. Now whether the matter of a na tional committeeman will be passed up to National Chairman II. S. Cummings when he comes to Portland, June 30 and July 1, or whether the action of the executive committee in electing Mr. McCoy stands, remains to be seen.

If a disease like rheumatism gets a foothold in the system the blood is put to such a se vere etraln in expelling the trouble that it is left worn out. The victim oses color, the nerves fail to gret nour ishment and indigestion and sleepless ness result. It is highly important at such times to take the tonic which Mrs. W. F. Brinkman of No. 1911 Johnson street. Keokuk, la., found so beneficial. I had a severe attack of rheuma tism," says Mrs. Brinkman, "and it left roe very weak and run down. I was so nervous and irritable that it seemed sometimes as though I would fly. I couldn't sleep and arose tired out in the morning. My appetite was poor and a meal was always followed by distress. Sometimes I was bloated so that I could, hardly get my clothes on. "A notice in a newspaper led me to give Dr. Williams Pink Pills a trial and that was the beginning of my re turn to health. The improvement was gradual. My appetite became good and my stomach seemed to gain strength, for I was no longer distressed. My nerves also improved and I can now sleep soundly and feel refreshed. I feel toetter now than I have for many years. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by nil druggists or direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady, N. T.. on receipt of price, 50 cents per box or six boxes for 12.50.

Adv. pointed out that if. as viewed by the national committee, the state meeting which elected Dr. Morrow was illegal, then all other actions of that meeting were Illegal. Next to the election of Dr. Morrow the most Important thing the state committee did was to strip the executive committee of all powers and authority and to hamstring the etate chairman until he became more ornamental than useful. To understand the national commit teeman situation it Is necessary to re vamp a little history. H. M. Easterly was elected to the position by the vot ers of the democratic party when Will R. King was In the office, elected by the delegates to the national conven tion. Mr. King had two years more to serve under the old system of doing business, and the national committee held that Mr. King was national com mitteeman until 1916. Job Tangled TJp. Mr. Easterly argued that he. himself, was national committeeman from 1914 to 1918, and the committee insisted that Easterly's term was from 1916 to 1920. Last year, 1918, Mr. Hornibroolc was elected by the voters of the party as national committeeman, but under the rule of the national committee, Mr. Hornibrook's tenure was to operate from 1920, when Mr. Easterly's term expired, to 1924. Mr. Easterly was ada mant, however, and insisted that he went out of office in 1918. When the state central committee ap pointed the executive committee with powers to act, the executive committee tried to straighten out the mess. To make the record clear, it secured Mr. Easterly's resignation for the unexpired term which the national committee said he was to fill and which Mr. Easterly contended he was not entitled to. Hav ing obtained Mr. Easterly's resignation. the executive committee elected Mr. Hornibrook, thereby placing its stamp of approval on the verdict of the voters at the democratic primaries ol Juay, 1918. Inasmuch as Mr. Hornibrcok, In due time, resigned, the executive commit tee last Wednesday elected Mr. McCoy. By this line of argument, Mr. McCoy is the democratic national committeeman and the recent meeting of the state committee which declared Dr. Morrow elected and resolved the executive com mittee to the scrap heap, has no force or effect, viewed in the light of the latest decision of the national commit tee. In other words, the anti-Chamberlain-Jackson-West faction so argues and contends it has control. FRIENDS TO DECIDE PUZZLE CELESTIA CALDWELL UNABLE TO IDENTIFY FAT II Kit. Henry E. Sturgeon. Says He Hopes Girl 19 His Daughter Pictures Sent to Utah. Whether Henry E. Sturgeon and Mary Celestia Caldwell are father and daugh ter is a question to be left, in the last analysis, to friends in Utah and other states of th middle west. Mrs. Cald well, who cams here from Oakland In search of a man supposed to be ner long-lost parent, is unable to decide the issue, and the aged man appears to have suffered a lapse of memory, which makes It impossible for him to do so. Photographs taken in Portland a few days ago have been sent to old-time friends in Utah, and upon their find ings will depend the future happiness of the two persons most concerned in the unusual affair. Mrs. Caldwell expects to leave today for her home in Oakland, but may re turn to Portland if she becomes satis fied Mr. Sturgeon is her father. She will keep in communication with him by mail during her absence, however, and if friends of the family declare he is not the object of her search, says she will not forget the lonely old man who has expressed the wish that it could be established that the attractive young woman is his daughter.
