HEADS STATE ELKS
Prineville Man Wins at Salem
Convention.
RADICAL TALK DENOUNCED
Resolutions Adopted Call for Leg
islation, If Necessary, to Unci
All Such Utterances.
EALEM, Or.. July 2. (Special.)
tr. J. H. Rosenberg of Prineville and
member of Bend lodge of Klks was
elected president of the Oregon State
Elks' association at the morning ses
sion of the third annual convention
held this morning.
Klection of Dr. Rosenberg followed
a vigorous campaign in which R.
Alexander of Pendleton and Tom O.
Russell were contenders. Both of
these candidates were withdrawn at
the eleventh hour, however, and the
name of Judge Edward H. Gearhart
of Astoria lodge placed in nomination.
Before the votes had been counted
it became apparent that Dr. Rosen
berg and his forces had scored an
overwhelming victory, with the result
that Charles Robinson of Astoria
lodge moved that the election of Dr.
Rosenberg be made unanimous. His
motion prevailed.
George T. Collins of Medford lodge
was elected first vice-president;
Thomas Harvey of Marshfield, sec
ond vice-president, and Frank Wright
man of Salem, third vice-president, by
unanimous vote of the convention.
Gordon Baker of McMinnville lodge
defeated Jarrfes D. Olson for secre
tary. C. Austin Hayden of Klamath
Falls lodge was re-elected treasure?
of the association, and the following
were chosen as trustees by unanimous
vote: Dr. E. B. Stewart, Roseburg
lodge (re-elected). J. b Turnbull of
Eugene lodge and Claud Scranton of
La Grande lodge.
More adequate attention to the pro
tection of elk In Oregon will be de
manded from congress through a me
morial to be prepared by a special
committee to be appointed by Presi
dent Rosenberg.
Radical Utterances Denounced.
Fiery denunciation by T. O. Russell
of Eugene of radical utterances per
mitted in public places brought the
delegates of the convention to their
feet and resulted In the passage ot
resolutions to be forwarded to state
Klks' association throughout the
United States, the grand lodge of Elks
and to the Oregon delegation in con
gress, calling for a vigorous cam
paign to end all such utterances and
to pass additional legislation, if need
be, to aid in the fight against those
who would tear down the govern
ment by unlawful means. "Just a
few days before the national Elks'
convention in Chicago the press of
this country carried the quotation of
one Fitzpatrick, who is said to have
been the organizer of the steel strike,
as follows: 'Would to God that the
workingmen ot America could do for
America what the workingmen of
Russia have accomplished for that
country,'" said Mr. Russell.
"This remark passed unnoticed by
officials of the grand lodge of Elks
and by everyiae, it seems. It is time
that the Elks of these United States
stop resting on the oars and begin
concerted action which will end all
such utterances and radical propa
ganda which is eating its way into
the very backbone of our nation."
Unqualified support of the Elks' na
tional playground and hunting lodge,
proposed to be located at the head
waters of the Metolius river, was
given by the convention through the
adoption of a resolution Introduced
by Monroe Goldstein of Portland.
This project received the indorse
ment of the grand lodge of Elks, fol
lowing a whirlwind campaign carried
on by the representatives of Bend
lodge, the baby Elks lodge of the
state. It was announced at the con
vention this morning that Bend lodge
-was ready to expend $4000, or $20 a
member, for a publicity campaign to
bring final success to the project
when it goes before the national Elks
convention in Los Angeles next sum
mer. The resolution provides for a com
mittee of five of the Oregon State
Elks association to entertain the
grand lodge committee to be ap
pointed for the purpose of investigat
ing the feasibility of the project.
This committee will also conduct a
campaign among other state associa
tions to bring suppprt to the plan.
In connection with the Metolius proj
ect is linked 46 other national Elk
playgrounds and retreats which it is
proposed to construct in various parts
of the United States during the next
five years, in the event that the
grand lodge will look with favor upon
the first unit, which happens to be
the Metolius project.
State to Be Advertised.
"Two thousand Oregon Elks to" Los
Angeles in 1921 " is the slogan adopt
ed by the state association. Under
the plan indorsed today, through yie
adoption of a resolution introduced
to the convention by Monroe Gold
stein, Elks will travel to Los Angeles
lor the express purpose of advertis
lng Oregon. The plan of sending in
dividual delegations for the purpose
or Doosting maivraual cities and
towns in the state has been thrown
to the discard as far as Oregon is
concerned and hereafter under the
present policy of the state associa
tion Elks from this state will travel
to national conclaves as boosters of
the entire State.
Indorsement of a campaign planned
to prevent automobile accidents at
railway crossings and other places
was given by the convention today,
with the assurance that the Elks of
the entire state would give their ac
tive support to the proposed cam
paign. Officials and members of Salem
lodge and the residents of Salem were
, thanked for hospitality shown and en
tertainment given to the visiting
lodgemen in resolutions adopted.
The convention also passed resolu
tions of condolence for the death of
Mrs. F. F. Dennlson, wife of a mem
ber of Salem lodge,' who was run
down by an automobile Thursday
night. Copies of the resolution were
ordered sent to Mr. Dennirjon and
members of the Immediate family.
Stirring patriotio addresses were
delivered today by Senator Chamber
lain and Representative McArthur,
both members of Portland lodge. Sen
ator Chamberlain reviewed the war
work of the Elks and Representative
McArthur lauded them for moral sup
port given congress and later em
bodied in constructive legislation.
