Oregon's delegation to the demo
cratic convention in San Francisco
contains possibilities of discord. All
ten are Instructed to vote for W. G.
McAdoo for president, and W. T.
Vaughn of Oregon for vice-president.
but how long these Instructions will
be observed remains to be seen. The
delegation does not. as a unit, admit
that President Wilson has a monopoly
of all the wisdom in the world, but
several of the delegates are prepared
to follow any orders which Mr. Wil
son may undertake to dictate to the
convention. The rest, a majority of
the delegation, will not follow Mr.
Wilson's orders unless the object of
such orders agrees with their own
Ideas of what is best for the party.
In the democratic convention the
unit rule obtains. The chairman of
the delegation casts the vote of the
delegation and an individual delegate
who may wish to seek the spotlight
by making a speech cannot obtain
recognition from the chairman of the
convention, unless the presiding
officer feels inclined to make the con
cession, which Isn't customary. As
things look now, Judge Thomas A.
Crawford of La Grande, a regular
democratic stalwart, probably will be
chairman of the delegation, because
of his experience in other national
conventions and lifetime of devotion
to the party. And he may be chair
man for the even better reason that
"the boys" who keep the fires of
democracy alive, want him to be the
chairman.
Vacancy In Delegation.
There is a vacancy In the delega
tion owing to the death of Senator
George W Baldwin of Klamath Falls.
The democratic state committee has
been called to meet and select some
one to fill the vacancy and also to
designate alternates. There is a dif
ference. of opinion as to whether
Frederick V. llolman or John Schuyle
man was hiirh man among the de
feated candidates for delegate at
large. No matter which ono was
highest, the state committee will
make its own selection. Mr. Schuyle
man made his campaign on the argu
ment that Wilson should be elected
for a third term and the surprising
thing is that there were several thou
sand democrats in Oregon who be
lieved with Mr. Schuyleman that Mr.
Wilson should hold office longer than
George Washington. This entiment
is not prevalent among members of
the state committee, however, so Mr.
Sehuyleman's chances of being given
the vacant delegate seat are decidedly
slim.
An unusual development of the
primaries was the manner in which
prominent democrats and also promi
nent citizens were passed up and re
jected by the voters. Senator Bald
win and Judge Crawford were elected,
but men as well, or better known,
were not, and in this list of rejected
ere men like Bert.E. Haney. former
Vnited States district attorney, and
former state chairman; G. Y. Harry,
who organised the Wilson clubs eight
years ago' and who is now federal
conciliator; Frederick V. Holman, who
never asked for other recognition
fi'Om the party than being a delegate;
Richard W. Montague, who has helped
draw charters for Portland and who
has successfully managed campaigns
for democrats; J. F. Reddy. former
mayor of Medford, and Dr. C. J.
Smith, former state senator and form
er democratic candidate for governor
and at present state chairman. In the
third district among the defeated were
H. B. Adams, former deputy district at
torney; A. F. Flegel, former council
man; George I. Smith, row of the land
office, and Robert H. Strong, one of
the best-known business men in Fort
land. These were defeated by Mrs.
Bessie Richards, who has been a resi
dent xf Portland scarcely four years
and who, outside of the housewives
concil, is unknown.
t
League to Be Storm Center.
When the state committee selects
alternates, some of the men who
failed as delegates will be picked, r
they want the honor. One reason
given for the defeat of substantial i
democrats is that they did not have
a slogan and another explanation for
the election of others is that they
stressed their advocacy of the Wil
son administration and the league of
nations.
All of the Oregon delegates will be
for a league of nations, but about six
of the ten will not Insist on the
treaty of Versailles without the dot
of an "i"nor the crossing of a "t." It
is freely predicted that the league
plank will be the storm center in the
platform committee and in the con
vention, and it is there that the Wil
son and Bryan influences will clash.
Representation on the platform com
mittee will be about the most im
portant assignment that a member
of the Oregon delegation can draw.
The delegation is not expected to be
of one mind on this Issue because the
minority will follow without ques
tion anything that Mr. Wilson wants.
Mr. McAdoo has the Oregon dele
gation pledged, but if Mr. Bryan
should suddenly become a candidate,
and this is a possibility always with
in the cards at a democratic national
convention, the Nebraskan will find
followers from Oregon. As far
Mr. Vaughn's candidacy for vice
president goes, he can expec a com
plimentary vote the first time, but
that's about all. Governor Cox of
Ohio, would have no trouble in coax
lng practically all of the Oregon ten
from Mr. Vaughn.

Oregon's Wool Industry
OREGON, with a sheep population last year of 2,497,000,
is one of the greatest wool-producing: states in the
United States. In 1919, 17,980,000 pounds of wool were
grown, and the finished products turned out by the
eight mills in Oregon, brought a financial return of
$10,000,000. These mills, with an annual payroll of
over $2,250,000, employ in the neighborhood of 1500 1
people. In addition, there are many hundreds employed
in actual wool-growing and handling of the sheep.
THE FOLLOWING definite, basic reasons have been
mostly responsible for the great success of the wool
industry in Oregon: First, the wool grown is fine in
quality, low in shrinkage, and uniformly of the best
grade. Second, the mills are conveniently located close
to the base of production. Third, and perhaps most
important to the lasting properties of the wool, are
Oregon's mild, humid climate, and the pure, soft water,
which are most important to scouring and working
the 'wooL
i
THE OREGON" MILLS are producing yarns, sweaters,
bathing suits, caps, suitings, steamer rugs, auto robes,
bed blankets, Indian robes, wool batts, mackinaws,
shirting, bath robes, etc Yet the Oregon mills that
manufacture these articles use only one-third of the
present wool production. The entire wool output should
be, and eventually will be turned into manufactured
goods at home.
THE ANNUAL WOOL CONSUMPTION in the United
States is approximately 650,000,000 pounds, while the
present output is less than 300,000,000 pounds; thus it
can be readily seen that a great increase in production
is needed. Because of this fact and because Oregon is
particularly adapted to wool-production and manufac
turing, a steady, healthy progress in the wool industry
is inevitable a progress that will contribute materially
to a Greater Oregon.
