At present the anti-Chamberlain -umo- t-rata are somewhat at sea, and Cham bcrlain's rienda are curious as to.tha identity ot the opponent on the primary ticket. Among the democratic brethren there has filtered around in the past few days a rumor to the effect that J. D.

Allen Stewart of Portland Finishes Second in Logrolling Contest. Airplane Stages Thrill. Aali-Caawiberlala Remarks Made. Following receipt of this sage ad vice she deliberately went out of her way to make Invidious remarks against Senator Chamberlain at the Hellig the ater Monday evening for the benefit of National Chairmin Cummings. These remarks led up 13 Oswald West's cham pionship of Chamberlain at the demo cratic bantiuet Tuesday night, which, in turn, aroused the Ire of oglesby Young, who is particularly antagonistic to the senator. Liemocrat Chamberlain brand would like to know the identity of the woman who sent warnings to 'women not to attend ths luncheon at the Hotel Portland last Tuesday. The warnings were to the effect that any woman who attended the luncheon would be con sidered as against Wbodrow Wilson and tn favor of Senator Chamberlain. I'm f sb aster Take Dlasse. There are not many women In Port land sufficiently interested in demo cratic factional politics who would take the trouble to try to spoil the luncheon, which was held in honor of Mrs. tJeorge liuss. chairman of the woman's ad visory board or the national democratic committee. Kevertlng to Postmaster Myers, he managed to connect n-ith the Cummings party during its two-day stay and he gave the imprest-ion to the visitors tnat the discord In the democratic ranks is due to one man; and that none other than Postmaster Myers himself. Suave attempts to smooth things over met with no response from Mr. Myers, and this caused one of the Cummings party io confide, before leaving Portland that the postmaster is unreasonable and obsesxed with a eingle Idea.

From early morn ing, where tattered flags of old French regiments, which under Lafsyette I helped make Independence day a living reality, were borne past President Poln care and General Pershing on the Place de la Concorde, till late at night, when over Pershing's stadium the tri-color set the skies ablaxe with electric ehad- ows, Paris was given over to the ac- 1 claim Qf all things American. j The formal programme was the least i important feature of the day.

THE DALLES, Or., July 5. (Special.)

He owes room ! rent to the landlady In Pocatello. Many people say I killed three other men, but this I deny also. Some day I prove it to them.
