POL TICS
9:15 to 5:45
ACTION IS INDIVIDUAL
Organization Xot Involved, but ex
Sold I ers Will See That Offi
cers Express Principles.
About 30 member of the American
Legion are being: mentioned in politi
cal circles as possible candidates in
the primaries next spring. This Is
only a starter, for 20 or SO more will
be mentioned as the time for filing
petitions approaches. Reports through
the atate Indicate that there is not
a town, much less a county. In which
some of the returned service men are
not being discussed aa available ma
terial for this office or that.
As an organization, the American
Legion is not In-politics. It has within
its membership voters of the republi
can and democratic parties and there
fore is non-partisan as well as "non
political. The legion has principles, however,
and these principles must, in some
Instances, be carried out by men in
public office; consequently, the mem
bership of the legion wil be interest
ed in the personnel of candidates for
such offices as will be needed in fur
thering the principles of the legion.
Orzaalaatloa Not IaterestesL
For this reason the legion members,
as individuals and not as an organi
sation, will be especially Interested
in the legislative ticket. Half a doz
en legionaires are now tentative can
didates for the legislature and their
ranks will, without doubt, be in
creased later.
It Is distinctly understood by mem
bers of the legion that the organiza
tion cannot be used for political pur
poses and any attempt to so use It
by any individual or group will meet
with immediate resistance. In the
legion there are soldiers who are al
ready urging caution.
These men are opposed to seeing
a -soldiers ticket." which will try
to capture every political office with
in sight. There Is general recogni
tion that the service men will take
an active part In politics and that
tuey are entitled to offices, but the
more diplomatic service men advocate
moderation and the selection of only
those offices which will best carry
out the principles of the American
Legion.
teerlaa; Cosasltee' Likely.
To this end a "steering committee"
Is likely to be formed which will
undertake to guide. In a measure, the
course of events: Among the objects
nf this steering committee, of which
"there is already some rumor, will be
-the smoothing out of certain tangles.
Kor Instance, several service men may
'aspire to seek the nomination for a
certain office. It may be that the
office in view is one which is par- I
tlcularly attractive to a service man,
but with so many soldiers scrambling j
for It a civilian may win out. j
The steering committee will at-1
tempt to get the service men together
and see if they cannot all step aside
but one or two and thus present a
stronger front. The steering com
mittee, in .brief. Is designed to safe-
guard the general political Interests
of the ex-soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, but will not be pattered after
the Bolo club, the political organiza
tion within the Spanish -American
war veterans.
Office holders who failed to give j
full measure of support to America
during the war will find the soldiers
vote aimed to take their scalp. Of- !
fice holders whose patriotism was
tinged with profit will also receive
the bpposition of the soldier vote.
And there is another class of men I
who will find hard going if they aeek I
puouc uuice; mis ciasa consisia 01
officers whose men think they were
not. treated right while they were in
tho service. The former commis
sioned officer who saw that he was
welt-fed while his men were on short
rations or went hungry may as well
send to the scrap pile any political
Ambition be may be nursing.
NIGHT CALLER ARRESTED
Man Who Went 'to See Girl' Caught
on Street at 1 o'clock.
And now another difficulty has
been placed in the path of the would
be Romcoa of Portland. For the police
hold that calling on the best girl is
not a lawful reason for being out

that he had been to see his girl, was
arrested Friday night by Sergeant
Crane at Fourth and Alder streets at
1 o'clock. He waa released by Judge
Kossman in municipal court yester
day on condition that he would in
future confine his calls to the early

Satin dresses are very smart in New York. One
sees them on Fifth avenue and in the best res
taurants and theaters. Our fashion buyer now in
the east has been able to secure some of the new
est styles in much better satin than we have had
so far at the price.
While they are designed to give the straight sil
houette, yet there are subtle draperies. Some go
so far as to suggest the pannier, others are as
bouffant as a four-tier skirt affair, but a number
of them are draped only enough to give prettily
changed lines to the costume. Several have the
new long-waisted blouse effects. Others have the
equally new high-waisted lines.
One model pictured shows the popular square
neck and long, tight sleeves outlined with silver
cloth. Another has slashed collar and cuffs of
embroidered georgette.
Black, Brown and Blue
are to be had in them and these colors the three
Bs are almost the only ones to be seen in New
York this autumn.

cheers one up mentally. It makes one look young. It
gives one a nice feeling of satisfaction. A new hat is
good business sense whether one be a wife and mother
or .a sister and fiancee or an efficient business woman.
Especially large collections of hats at $12.50' to $22,50
include :
Turbans with flowers,
