6 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 18, 1920 REPUBLICANS SPEED UP 111 WASHINGTON Names of 185 Club's Officers Sent to National Body. ORATORS OFFER SERVICES fcvcry Precinct in State Represent ed by Committee Pledge to AVork. (Seattle:, wash., July . i.7.-r-.(Spe- lal.) Republican organization in Washington state is o well advanced that when the national committee last week began the distribution of the new Harding lithographs and' cam paign buttons it was possible to -send them from the Chicago headquarters to an active pfecinct- committeeman In every precinct in the state. Not only has the organization been per fected so that the national commit tee as been placed in direct touch with each precinct, but a full list of officers of more than 185 republican elubs in the state has been supplied the national organization, and as rapidly as new campaign clubs are formed details of their organization lire being sent to the Chicago head pjarters. So far as he records show this Is the first time In the party's history la the state that every precinct has been represened by a committee pledged to do active campaign work. Orators Volunteer Services. A year ago, when a corps of party organizers, under direction of state chairman Sam A. Walker, began checking up county and precinct or ganization, it was found half a dozen counties were still operating under chairmen elected in 1914. and others had not held organization meetings for several years. Hundreds of pre cincts were unrepresented by com mitteemen, and there were fewer than hxlf a dozn republican clubs in the state. Inquiry disclosed that the looseness In organization was not due to a de crease in interest in republican af fairs, but because the party had been able to drift along without an up-to-date commltte, and even the approach of a presidential campaign did not warn county workers that organiza tion would be necessary. A list of more than 500 republican orators in Washington who have vol unteered for campaign work has been supplied the national committee and these men and women will be kept supplied with up-to-date material. By making use of the newly formed elubs the national organization will be able to call on active party workers for help in any section where it may be necessary. Kelly t Attrad Session. This plan of direct touch between the national and precinct organiza tion's has not supplanted the state committee in any way, for the n tiooal committee recognizes the state organization and the latter will have full charge of the details of the cam palgn in the state. The national or ganization merely is lifting the load of some routine work off the state organization and at the same time speeding deliveries. All the candidates for nominations on the republican ticket are given access to the vast amount of data ac cumulated by the state commitee, on request. H. P. Niles of Everett, committee man from Snohomish county, will go to ban Francisco Sunday to repre nt the state committee in a con frrence of Pacific coast campaign managers. Guy E. Kelly of Tacoma, niw national committeeman from this state, also is to attend the San Fran cisco meeting. FBLTORS FINISH SESSION BOISE MAX ELECTED PRESI DENT OF INTERSTATE BODY. a rooming house at Ninth and Broad way, was 'arrested last night on a charge of assault and battery, the aharge being brought by three girls, Jiargaret and Mary Turnbull and Jo sephine Bolton, his roomers. His trial was begun today before Cedric Miller, p-liuo judge, and evi dence brought out the statement that the trio of girls, who roomed on the second floor, were going down the stairs with their suitcases when he rushed out and assaulted them, they allege. It is charged he kicked one of the Turnbull girls and knocked another one down with a chair. Miss Bolton admitted she told Mr. HlaU she would kill him if he hit one of the Turnbull girls. She then rushed down the stairs and grabbed a ham mer from Hiatt and struck him on the head with it. The-jnan tried to have the girls ar rested but did not succeed. The trial was continued until Monday at 5 P. M. TACOMA PROTESTS CLAIM V. S. DEMAND FOR CAR IIXE LOAX HELD UNJUST. City Said Already to Have Its Share in Assumption War-Time Burdens. Done of TACOMA, Wash., July 17. (Spe cial.) The city of Tacoma will pro test to the United States Shipping board the settlement of the claim held against the city's municipal street railway line for the $232,000 lent the city to double-track the line during the war. while the representatives here agreed to recommend acceptance of $42,000 in cash and the 10 old cars in settlement of the account, I shall make it plain, as. far as I am con cerned, that any amount exacted from the city for the war burden assumed by the city to aid the government in ts shipping programme will be an injustice and a burden the city is not able to stand, said Commissioner Shoemaker. The city iias already paid the gov ernment 16,000 in interest on the account. The cars cost 174,000, 'with $35,000 added for new motors, mak ing $109,000 for the cars. With the $42,000 the government wants in cash It will mean that Tacoma will have paid $165,000 to Uncle Sam for the privilege of helping the government shipbuilding programme. The declared injustice of asking the people of Tacoma to accept this burden for the benefit of the general government is growing on the coun cilmen the more they think of it, and a fight is promised before the matter is adjusted.

The cabinet officers were enthusl astic over the gardens they inspected tn this vicinity, being astonished to find such vegetation so far north. TROOP ORDER GOOD1 NEWS Vancouver Pleased Over Transfer of Infantry to Barracks. VANCOUVER, Wash., July 17. (Special.) The news that the First infantry, minus one battalion, will be sent to Vancouver Barracks was re ceived here with pleasure by many persons who recall the last stay of I this, the oldest organization in the United States army. The First in fantry, in command of Colonel George K. McGunnegle, was here for four years, and left about 1910 for the Philippine islands, later being re turned to the United States. It is expected that there will be I about 600 men in the two battalions coming here soon. C and H companies, 44th lnfa.ni.ry. now stationed here, will be sent to the Presidio. San Francisco. Since the spruce production division was mustered out here there have been few soldiers in the post, scarcely enough to do guard duty. Document Exceeds in Iiength Nom inee's Expectation WHson- Cox Conference Watched. MARION, O., July 17. Senator Harding gave his speech of accept ance its final polishing tonight and then prepared for a day of rest from the .arduous task of composition which has occupied his attention r.l most exclusively for a week. He planned to spend tomorrow qui etly and in the early days of the com ing week to take more time for rec reation. - The senator worked again as In the years gone by in close co-operation with the composing room of his news paper, the Marion Star, where the speech was put into type for printing the advance copies that will be dis tributed to the press. Messenger Relays tTsed. A relay of messengers carried copy and proofs between the newspaper of fice and the senator's residence and once he paid a visit of inspection to his compositors. The speech, which will be deliverd here next Thursday at the formal no tification of his nomination for the presidency, exceeds in length the candidate's expectation and will run well beyond the four-column limit he originally fixed. It had been pre pared with particular care because he has endeavored to have 't express comprehensivly his stand on all of the important issues. League Issue Is Watched. The meeting tomorrow betwesn Governor Cox and President Wilson was expected by local Harding mana gers to put the spetlight again on the league of nations and perhaps to show up more clearly what lines Oie campaign on that issue will follow. The Harding partisans argue that the logical result of the conference will be to develop definitely whether Governor Cox will stand with rtie president regarding the league or with democratic senators and others In the party who have advisd accept ance of the republican reservations. Whatever the decision, the Harding men declare , the result will be to widen the breach over the treaty within the democratic party. tock-Reducin Our entire stock of Men's and Women's Ready-for-Wear Clothes on sale at mucli less than today's wholesale cost. ; Our stock must be reduced and turned into money at an early date.
