19 FIGHT FOR OREGON DELEGATES KEENER Eleven Days Remain for Man v agers to Campaign. PROPAGANDA IS SPREAD Representative of Each of Four Presidential Aspirants Pound- inz on Single Idea. VFith but 11 days remaining for campaigning-, the managers of the various presidential aspirants are putting forth renewed energy in spreading their propaganda. With 10 delegates to be chosen, each manager is desirous of winning these for his man. While the contest in Chicago Is not likely to be so close that the 10 Oregon votes will be the deciding factor, still 10 votes added to others xe worth going after.. In the presidential primary fight there are four phases of campaign ing being conducted each manager having pinned his faith to one main Idea. The managers, Dow V. Walker, Sanfield McDonald, O. C. Leiter and Joseph Dunne, representing Wood, Johnson, Hoover and Lowden. respec tively, are certain that each one's wn line of conduct will bring home the bacon. The four phases are: Centralization of anti-Johnson supporters; personal appeal; getting the supporters to the polls and making a good impression. Manager Walker's plan of cam paign is that of centralization. In his opinion, all those republicans who do not want to see Johnson carry Oregon, should cast their vote for Wood. He points out that with the xception of four states, wherever Wood and Johnson have been the leading opponents. Wood has been successful. It is recognized as an apparent fact that if the line-up in Oregon should narrow down to Joha eon and Wood, the latter would win. Managers for Lowden and Hoover, however, decline to have their can didates sacrificed for Wood. Personal Appeal lined. Manager McDonald has' based his campaign on the personal appeal, and until yesterday was certain that John son himself, would stump the state. Yesterday there was some doubt in the Johnson camp whether the sena tor can come to Oregon. It would require a five-day journey to come with five more to return, bo if he . gave four days to speaking it would consume two weeks of the short time Intervening before the Chicago con vention. There are so many pressing demands on Senator Johnson that it now looks as though he cannot ap pear in Oregon. In lieu of his per sonal message, he already has sent a galaxy of spellbinders to boost his stock and these speakers will be in the. field almost until the eve of the primaries. Every town that has a considerable industrial population, such as Klamath Falls, Bend. Astoria. Portland and Coos Bay, will be ag gressively invaded, for Johnson is bidding strong for the labor vote. Whether these Johnson spellbinders can take the place of their chief re mains to be-seen. But from the start, the Johnson campaign in Oregon was founded on the programme of having the Californlan come and turn the state upside down with his own pecu liar style of political appeal. Hoover Sentiment Spread. In the opinion of Manager Leiter, the alpha and omega,- the high and the low and the middle of the Hoover success in this state rests solely on the Hoover sentiment materializing into votes. That there is an abund ance of Hoover sentiment spread over Oregon is beyond question. Straw votes invariably show him leading or close to the top. The average Hoover supporter, however, likes Hoover and believes in him. but doesn't take the trouble to vote. This is particularly true with the women. No effort is necessary to ehow a preference when a straw vote Is being taken, but some exertion is required to go to a polling booth on primary day and mark a ballot. Real izing this situation, all of the ef forts of Manager Leiter are now be ing directed to the building up of an brganizatlon which will get out the vote on May 21. Mr. Leiter is confi dent that if the Hoover people will vote, the former Oregon boy will have Oregon's votes in the convention. Manager Dunne's line of action is not of ,the aggressive sort. While Governor Lowden is held in high es teem, it is not expected that he will carry Oregon. Governor Lowden ap pears to be the second choice of many Wood and Hoover supporters. This being the case, Mr. Dunne's policy is to move along increasing the good opinion held of his candidate and arousing no more antagonism than possible. Of course, Mr. Dunne wants to garner the 10 delegates, if pos sible, but his organization is doing more toward creating a kindly feel ing toward Lowden among support ers of other candidates than to cap turing votes. There is this to be said of the Lowden campaign: A short time ago Lowden was practically an unknown quantity, but of late it is a common thing to find warm ad mirers particularly among the busi ness element. And the Johnson sup porters would much prefer Lowden to Wood. Should Manager Leiter fail to arouse the Hoover sentiment to the voting point, the fight in Oregon will be narrowed down to Wood and John son. The Wood camp has the best or ganization and the Johnson camp the most noise. . Johnson Secretaries Named. EUGENE, Or., May 8. (Special.)

Certain candidates for the legisla ture are to receive the indorsement and active support of the taxpayers' vigilance committee of which Robert J. Linden is .secretary. Mr. Linden announced yesterday that the organi zatioa would get behind candidates that favor legislation along the lines of tax conservation. The taxpayers' vigilance committee has had a rapid growth and expects still further to Increase its member ship. "The organization was formed March 24, last," said Mr. Linden, "for the purpose of strengthening the powers and broadening the scope of the Multnomah county tax supervis ing and conservation commission ap pointed by Governor Olcott and Is busily engaged in acquainting the taxpayers witn the result of the findings handed down to the gov ernor in its first report, which has been printed in pamphlet form and is being distributed gratuitously to all interested. Copies may be had of any of the leading banks of the city or upon application to the secretary at 636 Chamber of Commerce build ing. "The taxpayers' vigilance com mittee to date has a fighting mem bership of 2867, and our labors will cease only when every taxpayer In Multnomah county is enrolled and through proper legislative enact ment sanity in the levying and expenditure of our tax monies Is at tained. We shall later recommend to our membership, and others interested in the cause, certain candidates for the legislature favorable to the leg islation required to bring about the results for which this organization NEWLY INSTALLED OFFICERS was formed, viz., the conservation of our taxes. "Being, as the title of our organi zation implies, a "vigilance com mittee," we feel sure that the good women of Portland and Multnomah county will vote 100 per cent to aid us in our efforts to protect their homes and firesides from confisca tion by the ever hungry tax-eaters." LEGION TO SEEK MEMBERS XEWLY INSTALLED OFFICERS FACE INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN. National "Push" to Be Put Under Way on, May 17 Oregon's Quota to Be $40,000. Newly installed officers of Portland post of the American Legion are faced early in their regime with the pros pect of an intensive membership drive to enlist all ex-service men in the city in the post. A national membership "push" will be held by the American Legion dur ing the week of May 17 to -22. inclu sive, in which it is sought to enroll 1,000,000 more members. The organ ization now has a membership of 1,600.000 world war veterans. By some error in calculations at national head quarters, Oregon's quota in the drive is 40,000, which will include every man in the state who wore the uni form of soldier, sailor or marine in the late war. Nothing daunted by the prospect, Portland post is laying extensive plans for a thorough canvass of ex service men during the campaign week. If possible, all veterans in the city will be listed and those not Join ing will be asked for their reasons, which will be given on their cards. Portland post's new officers are planning at this time for a clubroom, centrally located, at which members may keep appointments, play pool, read and smoke. It wilr not be hand somely appointed but will be a com fortable meeting place for ex-service men. Announcement of the loca tion of the clubroom- will . be made shortly by James O. Convill, com mander of Portland post. Commander Convill has been active in American Legion affairs during the past year as head of the employ ment committee of the post and in charge of the employment work at the Liberty temple for war veterans. He recently represented Oregon at a beneficial legislation meeting In Washington, D. C, of American Legion men. James R. Bain, new vice-commander, was a member of the post executive committee last year. James W. Crawford, new adjutant, was in charge of the forma tion of the civilian reserve in Port land.. Grand Opera Singers Married, BAKER, Or., May 8 (Special.) Miss Maria Luisa Sanchez and Ed uardo Lejarazu. members of the So nora Grand Opera company which has been entertaining in Baker, were married in the presence of Soto Mayor, one of the opera stars, and County Clerk Combs by County Judge Will iam Duby in bis office at the court house. Besides acting as a witness, Mayor played the role of laterpreter, for neither the bridenor the bride groom could speak English. The wed ding is the culmination of a romance which is said to have started In Mexi co City. Bend Sees First Airplane. BEND, Or., May 8. (Special.) The city of Bend saw its first airplane this morning, when the whirring of machine piloted by R. S. Thompson was heard 2 IU0 feet overhead. The plane circled several times over the town, then sought a landing place five miles to the southeast. The avi ator, who recently arrived in Red mond from California, will make his headquarters here until Wednesday, when he will start for Idaho. Alteration of Pay Check Charged. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., May 8.- (Special.) Mike Bennett, said to be from Sacramento, aged 25, is in jail here charged with alteration of a pay check from '$6.70 to $89. The check wass issued by J. J.

OTHERS ARE COMING OUT Employers, Lumbermen and Oth ers Indicate They Will 'Ask Support for Favorites. One certain sign that the political campaign is speeding up is the ap pearance of "tickets." These are pop ping up in great variety and more are predicted in the next ten days. A ticket is usually a list of candidates selected for the special support of WHO WILL GUIDE DESTINIES OF LEGION, FOR ENSUING YEAR. fax? xwtsr-ry&jr some group or class and is Intended as a sort of guide for their friends and affiliations. Among the tickets now in the field there are certain candidates who have landed on several, indicating that their candidacy appeals to more than a single group of people. There is a labor ticket, a ticket of life insur ance men, a timbermen's ticket, an employers' association ticket and oth ers in the making. The tickets, as 'a rule, are confined to boosting as pirants for nomination to the senate and house of the legislature, but oc casionally take in more territory. Three Offices Popular. Main contests thus far disclosed are for the legislature, the nomina tion for sheriff and- the nomination for county commissioner. There are lesser contests, but the liveliset skir mishing is In the direction indicated. The labor ticket is incomplete. There are a candidate for represen tative in congress for the third dis trict; a couple of candidates for the state senate and a cpuple for the lower house, and an indorsement for county clerk. Organized labor has lined up better In this primary cam paign, it is reported, than has been the case in the past. Special efforts were made to have union men and their wives register, and this being accomplished, the next thing is to get these votes to the polls. The main offensive is directed at N. McArthur, whom organized labor is bending its efforts to defeat. This is due to Mr. McArthur's speech in congress against strikes. 'Providing the labor vote turns out to wreak revenge on Representative McArthur it can be expected to stay in the booth long enough to mark the ballot for the half dozen county candidates bearing the union indorsement. 15 Would Go to Senate. There are 15 candidates for the nomination of state senator and five to be elected. Of the 15 about 10 have a chance to win, and of the ten six are considered as having a very good chance. Of the 34 candidates for representative, with 12 to elect, there are 16 who are thought to be among the luckv dozen. In other words. 50 per cent of the aspirants for nomina tion for representative haven't a ghost of a show to win, fully a dozen of them being unknown. Sheriff Hurlburt is the center of attack by his two opponents and there is a current rumor that one of his opponents intends puling out of the race a little later in favor of the other in the hope of thus con.-soli- dating their forces to defeat Mr. Hurl burt.

JIB. SCHULDERMAX SATISFIED Tour . Convinces Candidate Thai Mr. Kozer Will Be Loser. Having returned from a trip through southern Oregon by automobile, Hen ry Schulderman, candidate for nomi nation for secretary of state, says that he found sentiment very friendly to his cathdidacy. He predicts that he will receive a big vote in Jackson and Josephine counties and will carry Eugene and Benton county big. "A Corvallis paper," says Mr. Schul derman, "states that Fred Lockley of the Journal was brought out as a candidate in the hope of breaking in on my vote in Multnomah county for the benefit of Mr. Kozer. My friends figure that the actual effect of the Journal man's candidacy will be to injure the chances of Mr. Kozer. as Mr. Lockley L likely to attract votes which would otherwise go to Mr. Kozer. From what I have seen. I am convinced that the fight is be tween Mr. Kozer and myself, and I am satisfied that I will win." , History Aids Mr. Dunne. Only old-time Portlanders will re call that there was once a leper colony in this city and that the lepers, nat- PORTLAND POST, AMERICAN urally, caused considerable uneasi ness. George H. Himes of the Oregon Historical society recalls the lepers in a letter which he has written to David M. Dunne and which Mr. Dunne is using as his political card as can didate for delegate to the republican national convention. According to Mr. Hlmes. it was Mr. Dunne, then county commissoner, who personally conducted the lepers to a ship and sent them to China. This human interest paragraph is but one of many written by Mr. Hlmes recounting the activities of Mr. Dunne. Credentials Wanted Too Soon. Thomas H. Tongue, republican state chairman, has received word from w in m. nays, chairman of the na tional committee, that the credentials of the Oregon-delegates must be In the hands of the credentials com mittee by May is. To accomplish this is impossible, as the Oregon delegates will not be elected until four days after the date set by Mr. Hays. Chair man. Tongue has telegraphed to Na tional Committeeman Williams, now on his way to Chicago, to make the necessary explanation. Senator Ritner in Town. Roy W. Ritner, state senator for Umatilla county, is in the city from Pendleton. Mr. Ritner, who is a hold over senator, is a tentative candi date for president- of the senate in the 19-1 session. Hoover Workers Named. The executive committee in Mult nomah county for Hoover is com posed of E. B. McNaughton, Forrest S. Fisher, George C. Howard, Frank Robertson and O. Laurgaard.

In addition to the demand for apples, each succeeding year has brought such increasing demands for her soft fruits that today Oregon enjoys an enviable reputation as a fruit grower. Yet Oregon has just begun. Thou sands of acres in this state available for orchard purposes are still undeveloped in sections that are ideally adapted to the production of practically every variety of fruit that can be grown' in a tem erate climate. THE 1919 ' OREGON CROP of prunes, pears, peaches and cherries brought a financial return of $14,820,000, an amount seven times greater than the return of five years ago.
