Deputy United States Attorney Flegel found yesterday that the offi cer had apparently merely delayed turning In the confiscated drug while he worked on another case. 'ln view of Parker's record," said Mr. Flegel. "we are inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, if there ever was any doubt. He has made 26 arrests in 30 days and secured con victions in practically each case. It seems he felt sorry for Robert True of 35 Boss street, and instead ot arresting him, took his word that he would not run away, and confiscated the opium which the former had brought from the orient while in the merchant marine. "Parker put the opium In his locker at the police station, and seems to have overlooked it while busy elsewhere." CONTEST BRINGS RIVALRY SOXG WRITERS TRY FOR PRIZE OF REPUBLICANS.

Joe Dunne and Emeroi Stacy, of 4S9 Salmon street, are leading honors In the song writing contest for a republican campaign sons. Dunne has written a possible winner in the rythm ot "Let the Rest of the World Go By." That fascinating ' ditty which created haveoin the minds of staid Portlanders during shrine convention, "Iowa " will surely get voters for Harding, Stanfield and McArthur when Stacy's lines are sung, accom panied by a long stretch of the arm just as the lowans did it when they sang, "That's where the tall corn grows." . Two stanzas of Stacy's master piece are: We are for Hardins;! Harding! Harding Is the best. In the east or west. We are for Hardin?! Harding! Harding for president! We are for Hardins! Harding! Vote the ticket straltrht. Coolidge Is the mate. We are for Harding! Harding! Harding for president. John L. Day, while plagiarizing for the good of the party, added the fol lowing lines: We are for Standfleld! Stanfield! From away out .west. Can help Harding best. We are for Stanfield! Stanfield! Stanfield far Senator. Stacy has also written a catchy set of verses to be sung In "School Days." About 50 songs have been written and submitted to republican head quarters by aspirants competing for the prizes of $25, $15 and $10 to be given by Multnomah county central committee or the three best songs submitted on or before September 1.

Krueger, who will cast his first vote this year. Each joined the club to work "tooth and nail for Harding and Coolidge to contribute our mite in the fight." Mrs. Sherwood talks enthusiastic ally of Harding: "You know," she cays, "he is an other McKlnley; he looks like him and acts like him and it is all very natural for he was schooled under him in Ohio political affairs." Mrs Sherwood was born in Cleveland 80 Left Harold. S. Tuttlr, head of the department of education.

"I worked for Cox In the business office of his "paper, but I'm, going to vote for Harding." 4 That was the pith of George O. Hamilton's etatement to club execu tives, when he signed the roll to work for republican victory. "While Cox Is a fine man all right. The Oregonian has him sized up right in his connection with the big booze interests in Ohio and elsewhere. He has been working with the Cincinnati gang of booze-boosters for years and they have always fought Warren Harding. Mr. Cox will find himself out of his sphere when he gets away from Ohio and his-personal support and endeavors to play the same game throughout the United States. Hard ing will grow stronger - each and every day as the people learn." Hamilton is registered from 650 Forty-sixth street north. George F. Green, a veteran of 85 years, has the enthusiasm of the youngest of voters for Harding. "I have voted for every republican for president elnce I860, except on one occasion, and Harding has qual ities each commanded," he said. "The greatest mistake of my life was.when I voted for Stephen A. Douglas rather than Abraham Lincoln, but I hope I may be forgiven for that error of youth." Mr. Green was born in 1835 and believes a republican adminis tration is absolutely necessary to re store the real Americanism of the past. Mr. Green resides at the Couch hotel. He came to Oregon in 1872. W. J. Warren, 72 years of age, was another of the "old timers" to join the Harding-Coolidge club. . He is well known as a baseball star of the days when padded mitts were un known. Warren lives at 228 East Twentieth street. "Onward Six Hubbards." was the slogan which arose when Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Hubbard and their four sons, each of whom served in the recent war, signed their names on the Hard ing-Coolidge roll. The sons, A. E H. H., S. H. and D. M. Hubbard, will actively aid their parents in garner ing votes for the republican party. Alex Gordan, warm personal friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt, is one of the latest to Join the Harding ranks.' Gordan was born within five city blocks of the Roosevelt home in New lork City and entered local politics there at the time Roosevelt ran for mayor against Henry George and Mayor Hewitt, the fusion candi date. Hewitt was elected. This was the campaign of 1S87. Mr. Gordan has resided in Portland 12 years. BIG PICNIC 'IS PLANNED Birth of Sew Town of Glenbrook Is to Be Celebrated. ALPINE, Or., Aug. 20.
