APOLLO CLUB CONCERTS OFFER SOLOISTS OF MUSICAL DIS 1 TINCTION AND NATIONAL REPUTATION. OWN DENIAL NO FACTOR UcAdoo and Palmer Will Center : " Attention at Democratic Pres ; ; Idential Primaries. Despite Senator Chamberlain's dec laration that he is nursing no presi dential boom and that he will be a candidate. a3 usual, for the demo cratic nomination for United States senator, a line-up Is now being fos tered by some of his Oregon friends to take him out of the senate and place him near the White House. In short, the programme is to nominate him for vice-president on the demo cratic ticket, if it can be arranged. Of course, not all of Senator Cham berlain's close friends favor the scheme, nor have been won over to it yet, but the propaganda is abroad. Some of the senator's most acute ad visers figure, as does the senator, that his chances of remaining in the senate are better than his pros pect of either being on the presi dential ticket or of that ticket being Buccessf ul. There will be a campaign In the Oregon presidential preferential pri maries between William Gibbs Mc Adoo and A. Mitchell Palmer, the attorney-general. Sentiment among democrats, at this writing. Inclines more toward the latter than toward the former. There is a disposition with some democrats to criticise Mr. McAdoo. In the first place, he is the president's son-in-law and would have to stand special criticism because of that family relationship; In the sec ond place, he dropped the railroad problem and washed his hands of It: in the third place, he has been travel ing on a railroad pass, and so. have members of his family, and there are democrats who do not relish the idea of a prospective candidate browsing around the country on a pass when he has no official connection with the railroads. Sir. Palmer Is Favored. ' Mr. Palmer has none of the fore poing political sins to answer for, and he is known to be aggressive, a good campaigner and anxious to occupy the White House. Also, it is proposed to put up a snappy campaign in Oregon to secure the votes of the Oregon delegation for Palmer. The party in this state Is not of one mind on the subject, however, for McAdoo has tome very good friends who intend delivering Oregon's delegation to him. Getting back to the Chamberlain boom, the big idea is a ticket after this fashion: For president, A. Mitch ell Palmer: for vice-president, George IS. Chamberlain. The ticket catches the east and the west, it is argued, and between the two it would stack Tip as well against h republican nominees as any otner combination. ; ; This vice-presidential affair is to depend on developments and the gen eral situation. Mr. Chamberlain will not be dissuaded from entering the primaries for the senatorial nomina tion, and even his enemies within his own party concede that he will cap ture the nomination. The primaries .will be held in the spring. ; ' Convention Due In Jiuie. " The national convention will be held some time in June. By the time the convention Is held it can be de termined whether to unleash the Chamberlain boom for vice-president. , If everything looks "jake" and the senator can be persuaded this whole scheme, it may be stated, has not been unfolded to him yet, so far as known ' -he will be vigorously advocated to fill the tail of the ticket. Meanwhile, theorize the plotters, Kobert N. Stanf ield will be the repub lican nominee for senator. If Cham berlain is nominated for vice-president, it will be necessary for some democrat to step into his shoes and run as a substitute. Dr. C J. Smith of Portland is considered as the man available to oppose the republican nominee, Dr. Smith being wealthy and inclined to loosen up, as was demon strated when he was the democratic candidate for governor a few years ago. Something will have to be done of ficially within a short time to clarify the gubernatorial situation in Ore gon. At present no one knows wheth er the people will be called on to vote for a governor in 1920. This uncer tainty is worrying politicians, appar ently, more than it is the general public, and, presumably, it is pre venting aspirants from building fences with a view to becoming candidates on one ticket or the other. The supreme court has decided that Ben W. Olcott is entitled to the- salary of governor, but the court has not an r.ounced how long Mr. Olcott holds as governor, tne decision when it was handed down having been decidedly unsatisfactory insofar as the main point was concerned. Because the su preme court did not feel called on to clear it up, the court must, before the primaries, decide when Mr. Ol cott ceases to be governor, which will settle the question as to whether there will be a gubernatorial election next year. Aspirants Not Vet Out. To date there is no avowed aspirant for the republican nomination for governor, nor for the democratic honor. It may be that Mr. Olcott will set the ball rolling himself, because of this backwardness on the part of otner potential candidates. It would be logical for Mr. Olcott to file his pe- . t'.tion with the secretary of state for the nomination of governor on the republican ticket; the secretary of state could refuse on the ground that there is no vacancy In the office, and then Mr. Olcott could bring man- j -,- . . . m M f. . . j i ' ' - Merle Alcock, contralto; Florence Macbeth, soprano, and Lambert Mur phy, tenor, are three American artists of national celebrity who have been engaged as soloists for the Apollo club concerts this season. All three concerts will take place in the public auditorium the first one Monday night, November 3 Lambert Murphy's career is of par ticular Interest to native-born sing ers. On graduating from Harvard col lege he secured one of the highest salaried church positions in New York and within a year he had been en gaged by the Metropolitan Opera com pany. During his university years he had attained no small distinction as a soloist in and around Boston, and his big music future was predicted. With the Metropolitan Opera he immedi ately won high favor, which he held during the three seasons that he re mained with the famous organization. Twelve fiolo appearances with the Boston Symphony orchestra in the last two seasons is abundant proof of Merle Alcock's ability. That record alone would entitle an artist to a prominent place in America's musical activities. . But Mrs. Alcock has dis tinguished herself on many other oc casions during her young career, and the country now knows her to be an exceptionally gifted singer, gifted not only with a delicious contralto voice. . . i ... .s Yv ' X.

She has several personal friends in this city. damus proceedings against the secre tary of state and the case would go to the supreme court for a decision. The foregoing plan appears to be the only one figured out, and democrats and republicans alike contend that by such a method the question would be answered. Initiative Up to Olcott. One reason why the Initiative will probably have to be assumed by Mr. Olcott is the absence of opposition. A few names have been mentioned, in a gossipy way, as tentative candidates for governor, but thus far the owners of the names have not given sub stance to the rumors. L. J. Simpson, for example. Is mentioned, but there is more talk of Simpson opposing Representative Hawley in the first congressional district than of his go ing after the gubernatorial nomina tion. Whatever may be the disposition of the governorship, there is no doubt about secretary of state. This nomi nation promises to precipitate a grand scramble. Sam Kozer, long connected with the office, and chief deputy under Mr. Olcott, is expected to be a candidate. The latest rumor has it that Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner, former su perintendent of the state hospital and at present in charge of the peniten tiary, may be a candidate. This rumor is affirmed and denied by friends of the doctor. Chauncey Butler, con nected with the office of secretary of state, may throw his hat Into the ring. A. H. Lea, secretary of ' the state fair board, has been eying the position for considerable time, and so has E. E. Brodie of Oregon City. State Senator Wood of Hillsboro stated a few months ago that he might be a candidate and there have been whisperings that L. E. Bean, representative from Lane county, may take a fling at the nomination. EX-EDITOR REMEMBERED FRANCIS R. WALL OXCE FAC TOR IX PORTLAND LIFE. Victim of Mishap In Oakland, Cal.

Mr. Blgelow Reported as Only Member Opposed to CloAng Stalls at 2 o'clock. The untimely death of Francis R. wau, lormer Portland newspaper man. In Oakland. CaL, recalls to many Portlanders the days of the late 90's, when Mr. Wall was prominent In local and northwest Journalistic cir cles. Mr. Wall was fatally injured in Oakland October 7 last, when a runaway car struck a jitney in which he was riding, killing the driver and passengers. Mr. Wall was born in Louisiana In 1859. He graduated from the naval academy at Annapolis in the same class with Admirals Hugh Rodman and William Sims. He was northwest editor of The Oregonian from 1895 to 1898. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war he enlisted and served through the war. After the war he settled in San Francisco, where he practiced admiralty law until his death. His wife. Louise Iler rick Wall, has many close friends in Portland and the northwest. Her f book reviews In The Oregonian. ap pearing when her husband was con nected with the paper, are well re membered, and her short stories have appeared In the Century, Atlantic and other magazines. "Mr. Wall was of a sensitive and reserved nature, making few intimate friends, but attaching them warmly to him," said a friend in tribute re cently. "His high-minded integrity and disinterestedness, as well as his fine qualities of mind and spirit, commanded the respect of all who knew him." , HERE IS A MONEY SAVER Save five to ten dollars quickly by - dry cleaning everything In the home - Just as easy as laundering.

Criticism of the housewives' coun cil for placing In Its revised public market ordinance a provision that closing time In the Tamhill-street stall shall , be 2 o'clock was resented yesterday by Mrs. J. F. Chapman, president of the organization. She explained that in the second drafting of the rules by the women the clos ing provision was left unchanged, but in discussing the ordinance with the city council, the mayor and all com missioners with the exception of C. A. Blgelow favored shorter hours than at present. "The mayor told us," said Mrs. Chapman, "that if we put 2 o'clock down as the closing time and gave this publicity the consumers would have an opportunity to make known their views on the matter. If the majority opposed early afternoon closing the paragraph could be taken out.- There will be two public meet ings at which the opposition may make formal protest. Commissioner Blgelow desires that the market remain open until 6 o'clock because he believes It would work a hardship on some, according to Mrs. Chapman. She said that the housewives' council is getting the blame for offering to change the time, whereas it is not wholly in favor of doing this. "Those who believe In making the local market a real producers' market want the early closing," she said. "Those in other cities are arranged so that the farmers may go horns early and some of us believe that such should be the case here." Kelso Legion Plans Big Ball. KELSO, Wash., Oct, 18. (Special.)

For the rainy days you want a waterproof coat to keep you dry and comfortable. Air-in serves the purpose of both at the price of one. In appearance it is a gentleman's topcoat, but when wet weather comes it gives you complete protection from the . elements. We term Air-in the "coat with lungs' because it has none of the stuffiness of the ordinary raincoat. It is scientifically venti lated by the invisible opening in the back of the coat which insures a continual circulation of air. Air-in veritably breathes as you walk. Go to a good clothing merchant and ask him to explain the many exclusive features which have won such wide favor for this new idea in coat-making.
