Till? SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 28, 1921 RAGE FOR GOVERNOR LAUNCHED DAHQ Direct Primary Advocates Want Senator Howarth. SECRETARY HUGHES ADMITS HE CANNOT SPEAKRENCH Head of State Department Says He Taught Language When He First Left College, and Can Read It Well Enough. E X ITORS ASSURE OPPOSITION IS ACTIVE Issue of Next State Election Will Center VTpon Nomination Rule With Rep-ublicans Split. BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 2". (Special.) Marking of republican gubernatorial .timber is quietly in progress. Some are open aspirants; others are "in the hands of their friends." Prospects aj-e that a number of capable men will be brought forward who will have ex ceptionally strong following in the next state convention for a conven tion and not a primary will select the nominees of the major parties in this state, the last legislature failing to pass a primary law. George Howarth, senator. ofTSlmore county, a resident of the railroad town of Ulenns Ferry, is a leading figure. A republican aspirant from that countv is strange, for, until last Election. Elmore was considered to be rock-ribbed democratic and has been since earliest days. But the re publican landslide of a year a.go gave the reDUblicans a chance ana men sent Howarth, a very able man, to the state senate. Incidentally they sent a democrat, as usual, to the house Representative Cannon. Primary Will Be Iaaue. Now the issue that is going to be before the republican party, much more so than before the democratic, for because of political necessity end what is believed by them to be po litical advantage, the latter party has embraced it already, is the direct pri roary. The primary was really made an issue by the last legislature, both houses of which were dominated by republicans. The republicans, as is usual with any domirant party, split among themselves. A majority of the republicans in the house were for the direct primary and a majority of the republicans in the senate were against a direct primary. The republicans in the house passed a direct primary bill an act proposine to return to the statutes the old primary law which had been repealed, strength ened by precautionary provisions to preserve party integrity which had 'been seriously undermined by the in vasion of the Non-Partisan league, Senate Defeats Measure. When this bill reached the senate the republican majority succeeded in bringing about its defeat and held steadfast for the convention system. Following adjournment of the legis lature the Louse members who made the primary fight showed their de termination to make the primary an issue before the next state conven tion by perfecting a statewide -pri mary organization with the idea of carrying the issue to the rank and f'le of the party. It is said in well posted political circles here that they will carry this declaration out to the letter. The Gler.ns Ferry Gazette has swung behind Howarth for governor This week it said: "Senator George Howarth of Glenns Ferry is known to be a strong advo cate of the direct primary and it was ' through his efforts at the last meet ing of the state legislature that such a strong fight was made against the convention plan. Because of his stand and the interest he took in the fight for the uirect primary, friends of his side of the controversy are urging: Mr. Howarth to become a can didate for the nomination for gov einor." Senator Armstrong Urged. Senator Armstrong, of Hailey, who was one of the leaders with the pri mary wing of the last senate, is being persistently urged by his triends to the governorship. Others whos names have been brought forward are: Lieutenant-Governor C. C. Moore, who withou question will be an ac tive candidate and will have the sup port of many party leaders; Jess B. Hawley of Boise, a well-known at torney who was prominent in the last state convention as the spokes man for, the Ada county delegation as a champion of the cause of Colonel Li. V. Patch, present state adjutant general, for. United States senator., Close friends of Mr. Hawley de clare he will i.ot consider the nom ination, but his name had been used extensively in political circles prob ably without the will or consent of that gentleman.

Charles Evans Hughes is one of the best men in Mr. Harding's cabinet according to the opinion which circu lates around Washington .everywhere except in the United States senate, where Mr. Hughes is not popular and probably will never be, largely be cause be is not a politician and will not play the ball the way the boys wish. But learned as Mr. Hughes may be and he is not one of those to boast about it there are limitations on the hings he knows. He was talking the other day about the forthcoming dis armament conference which is excit- ng the interest of all Washington. The discussion turned to the matter of what language or languages will be used when the great of the world powers come here to talk about lift- ng war burdens from the shoulders of their peoples. Someone suggested that perhaps all the proceedings would be in English. but Mr. Hughes said he did not think that this would necesarily follow be cause the conference is held here. He said there might be proceedings in French and expressed the belief there might be transcripts of the proceed ings, or rather printed reports, pub lished both in English and French. French is the language of diplomacy and while it would be impossible to conduct the proceedings in Italian and Japanese and Chinese as a compliment to those participating nations, few diplomats are unfamiliar with French, and by talking English or- French language requirements will be met pretty well. But just about this time someone made an inquiry of Mr. Hughes: 'Do you speak French, Mr. Secre tary?" Mr. Hughes for a second looked a bit embarrassed. But then he smiled in the way that has made him a great deal more popular in Washington than he ever was before. "No," he answered, "I'm sorry to say I don t. ifut 1 11 tell you this just between us; I once taught French. It was just after I got out of college of the old fine cut and started out on a tour of the paintings. Mr. , Johnston had not devoted so much attention to the comfort of his legal visitors, however, as most of the Pennsylvania courts had and by the time he came to the art gallery Mr. Ryan was pretty much 'Convinced that chewing is a bad habit and one not to be encouraged. Mr Johneton began telling his friend about the different paintings in the gallery and expatiating on their merits and fine points. He firrs.1 ly named a figure at which the collec tion was valued. It was $1,000,000 or something like that. A whole lot of money anyhow. Mr. Ryan looked slowly around the room, he cast his eye on the walls and then on the floor and swept his gaze into every corner and nook. Then he mumbled: "Well you might sell just one of those pictures and buy a cuspidor." Attorney-General Daugherty has taken a lively interest in the proposal to turn Camp Sherman, O., where a lot of boys got their first idea of army life a few years back, into an industrial seh&ol for the education of boys, and he is devoting all the time and energy he can give to it Mr. Daugherty' has been interested in juvenile education and the encour agement of youth for many years. and he is a firm believer in letting boys who have strayed a few feet off the straight and narrow have a chance to get back On without being sent to some sort of a penal or reforming institution. About 15 years ago when he was attorney for a traction company in Columbus, four or five boys got in trouble in a nearby town for break ing into a station. None of the boys was out of his teens, and Mr. Daugh erty was impressed with the facts so much that he insisted on visiting the town and investigating circumstances of the case personally before the com pany should seek' to press for action against them. His Investigation showed that there was apparently no intention to com mit a burglary or other cnime of the kind on the part of these youths. Mr. Daugherty took the matter up with GREAT STATE FAIR j-t r I i- I space lor uispiays is laKem Quickly at Salem. AUTO RACES SCHEDULED and you know a young man just out! the pTopr authorities. He promised will turn his hand to most anything tempting that comes along. But, he added in after-thought. "I can read French all right." Representative Madden of Illinois, the new chairman of the house ap propriations committee, not only in tends to talk economy in the house. but he has started out to practice it and nothing is to be overlooked when he begins to work with the old prun ing knife. A friend of Mr. Madden s happened to be talking with him close by one of the clocks of the house and noticed it had stopped. He said nothing about it at the time but a little later ran into Mr. . Madden again near another clock. The second clock wasn't run ning either. What the devil is the matter with all your clocks around here?" asked this man. "They all seem to have stopped." j "I guess they have," said Mr. Mad den.. '"There isn't any repair man around here now. We can't afford it." "Even saving time, are you?" sug gested the friend. "Yes," replied Mr. Madden, "every dollar counts - and besides it sets a good example if members see we are practicing the stuff we preach." There are many lawyers who find themselves forced to chew tobacco in courtrooms because they can't smoke under the court rules and they find they need something to quiet their overwrought nerves. T-here used to be a lot of lawyers up in Pennsylvania who would as soon think of going into court to try a case without a large supply of fine cut as they would with out an imposing array of law reports. One of the best known lawyers in eastern Pennsylvania was John Ryan, and of course John G. Johnston had far more than a state reputation. Johnston had a magnificent home not far from Philadelphia with a choice collection of paintings which cost $1,000,000 or more and which included some famous works. John Ryan went out to see Mr. Johnston at his home. He had to wait a little while before Mr. Johnston could greet him and he was shown into the art gallery to amuse himself- Unfortunately just about this time Mr. Ryan fell victim to the Pennsylvania lawyer's habit. He took a big chew to stand sponsor for the boys and see that in the future they conducted themselves within the law and like respectable members of the com munity. Mr. Daugherty's plea was so eloquent that he was allowed to have his way and the boys were not sent up. But they were required to re port to him often at first and then less frequently. And as the years went by all of them made good and grew up to be quite prominent citi zens. In Mr. Daugherty's opinion If they had been sent to a penal in stitution the story might have been very different. Young men who are seeking ma terial for & i ew series of boy stories about the west will find it worth while to look into the records of Samuel D. , Nicholson, senator from Colorado, and Tasker D. Olds, sena tor from Nevada. They are known around the senate already as "The Gold Dust Twins." This is not be cause they do all the work of that body. but '. ecause they got their early training as minors and now they sit side by side in the senate. Senator Nicholson many years ago got possession of a claim that its then owner thought was just about petered out. It was; it. yielded the senator only somewhere around 11. 000,000. Senator Oddie at one time was a partner of Jim . Butler, famous in the west 25 years ago. Butler is given the credit of discovering the possibilities of Tonopah as a gold and silver camp back in 1S99. Both senators reported in their biographical sketches that they are miners by profession. They often visit the cloak room and swap stories about the days when they tramped the, dusty trails looking for gold. Young Fugitives Captured. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 27.

(Special.) -Plans for bringing the cost of liv ing for students on thi campus back to pre-war times are meeting with considerable success, according to Professor H. T. Vance, chairman of the student housing committee. The necessity for this is indicated in the unusually large number of men and women asking for part-time employ ment, so as to meet their college ex penses. "The 500 women to be housed on the campus will get the best of board and rooms at 126.70 a month." says Professor Vance. "Men who take their meals in the cafeteria of the men s dormitory and also dormitory room will get both for 30.6o a month. Me taking their meals at the cafeteria but rooming in private homes can get A by at til to 136 a month where two P3 ViaA a rnnm at 10 tn 20 SL month." The cost of board alone at the cafeteria is J6 a week, which is made to pay every expense connected with the preparation and serving of food. Living costs to men in fraternities and women in sororities will be de termined largely by the students themselves. They are , required to maintain certain standards of nutri tion and sanitation, and the student affairs committee seeks to have them maintain a modest fiscal programme. Through purchase of supplies in the students' co-operative managers' association the Irving costs were kept within moderation even last year at the peak of high prices. The average cost in the 27 fraternities was $34.81, ranging from $33.25 to $10.18. The average paid by women in the 13 sororities was $33.52, running from $29 to $40. It is expected with the decrease of prices and present economic con ditions most student organizations will see that these costs will be ma terially lowered. Church Services Announced. VANCOUVER.
