Amidst deafening cheers and ah ou tine, ths procession returned to the hit House. That evening there was a big rece-ption and general hand shaking. The Xid Boy did nothing but shake hands and say '"How do sir." from S until 11 o'clock. arrived at 10 o'clock, and he was so weak that he could hardly whisper "sir."

Federated Patriotic Societies Dis cuss Whether to Indorse Mr. Patterson for Office. Louis E. Bean of Eugene, speaker of the house of representatives, is a candidate for governor. Speaker Bean made his formal announcement last night, while on hts way to Onta rlo. Or., where he will make his first public appearance as a candidate for the nomination. While Mr. Bean was preparing and lsstJlnj? his statement to the press, the su-oaa aetegates 01 tne e a era tea ra. trio tic societies were in session to de cide whether the federation should in dorse for governor I. L. Patterson of Polk county, Charles Hall, of Coos county, or George H. Kelly, of Mult nomah county.- According to reports, the federation expected to reach a de cision. Mr. Bean has been considered as a tentative candidate for several months, but his determination to enter the lists was not Arrived at until yesterday, while he was In Portland. He stressed the statement that he has made no "pre-election promises and stands on his record as shown In the votes of the legis lature during the many years of his membership. Announcement Is Brief. Ths announcement made last night was brief, but will be followed later, he explained, by a formal rlatfoim. The statement of Mr. Bean follows: "If, by the sovereign will of the electorate, I shall become governor of Oregon, I will be g-overnor of Ore gron in fact as well as In name. I have made no pre-election promises and Intend making none other than to the whole people. No man is made over because he is made governor. If th record of his previous life does not reveal his qualifications for of fice, .no promises-or declarations for campaign purposes will qualify him, "For 14 years I have taken an ac tive part in public life as a member of the state legislature. During this period I have served as a member of both the senate and the lower house and as speaker of the house during the two previous sessions. Record Held Open Book. "Every vote that I have ever cast upon the thousands of measures that were up for consideration by the leg islature during that period Is indeli bly written into the record so that every voter who will may read. My record is an open book. These mea sures have probably included almost every phase of principle and public policy. It is upon this record that I submit my candiddacy. "If I should be honored by being elected to the office of governor, the highest office in the gift of its people, it would be my sincere ambition to prove myself worthy and to work un ceasingly for the upbuilding and gen eral welfare of the state; for the hap piness and prosperity of its people and particularly at this time for their early release from the crushing bur dens of taxation, Largely brought about by a delirium of public waste and extravagance.

The Judge himself has done nothing ao far toward encouraging it. What the federal societies will do, not even the delegates have certain knowledge. For the past two weeks meetings have failed to bring about the selection of someone for governor. It is known that neither Governor Olcott nor Speaker Bean are being considered by the federation for in dorsement.

While it is possible that action may again be deferred for a -week, there Js a disposition to have the matter disposed of so that the campaign can get under way. Indorsement Time Uncertain. When the federation will indorse a congressional ticket and legislative ticket is not certain. Franklin . Korell is expected to be the indorsee for representative of the 3d con gressional district; Dow V. Walker andtt Ralph W. Hoyt are supposed to be the prospective indorsees for county commissioner, and the legis lative indorsements will- include W. W. Banks, Milton M. Klepper and C McFarland for the state senate and W. C. North, William F. Wood ward and Captain Hosford for the house of representatives, with more representatives to be indorsed even tually so that there will be a com plete ticket for the members of the federation to support.

Some distinguished vis itors recently have- commented quietly upon the fact, but the shabbiness has been only too apparent to all. The executive offices, occupying the little single story structure Just to the west of the White House proper, are not palatial affairs at best and In their present run-down condition they are particularly unpreposses sing. It is difficult to believe that mot ives of extreme economy can be re sponsible for neglect of the offices, because to dress them up would re quire the outlay of but a few hundred dollars in paint and labor. Unfortunately the shabbiness is most apparent in the general recep- mg, he began life as a newspaper man.i - It was after he nad been graduated from Tale in 1878 and had studied law for two years that Mr. Taft, late in 1880, obtained a position on the old Cincinnati Commercial and was assigned to cover the courts. The man who was to be president worked at this task for nearly a year. He says he doesn't know whether he was much of a snocess or not. "At any rate," he confided to the writer, "I didn't have much diffi culty in separating xnyseLf from the job." , Will Hays apparently has no great confidence in the newspapers, or else he believes In patronizing home in dustries the postoffice department. The postmaster-general has written hundreds, if not thousands, of letters to friends and near-friends over the country conveying to them the startling news that he Is going into tion rooms through which every vis- the movies.

Over their shoulders they heard him say: "There seems to be a quorum pres ent, so we will proceed to business." itor to the offices must pass. The side walls of this room are decidedly dingy, to say the least. The ceiling is discolored and does not seem to have had a coat of fresh paint in years. The big blue-green rug In of the letters may have read a piece or two in the papers giving approxi mately the same information, but Will is taking no chances as to that. What he has been very particular to impart is the fact that he is going the reception room also is much the lnto the movies to uplift them, to be What Rest Will Do Isn't Known. What Messra Patterson, Hall, Kelly, et al., will do remains for the future to reveal. Ben Olcott, incum bent, will be a candidate for re-election, it is surmised, but thus far the governor has made no definite statement. In the last week S. A. Lowell of Pendleton began flirting with the gubernatorial nomination. He issued what will be his platform if he de cides to run. Wblie Judge Lowell has not committed himself, it is reck oned as a certainty that he will have his name on the ballot, otherwise he would not have gone to the trouble of preparing and issuing a platform. One of the proposals of Judge Low ell is that all the candidates for gov ernor pool expenses and campaign the state together..-This meets with the cordial approval of J. D. Lee, also an acknowledged candidate, who eays that years ago it was the custom of all candidates to campaign in a group so that the people could Judge of the appearance and abil'ty of the con- enders. Aside from Mr. Lee, no one appears to have encouraged the Low ell idea. Mr, Calcea Name Mentioned. A development of the week was the injection of the name of William L Cake into the campaign. Judge Cake has not been an active figure in re publican politics of recent years, al- houh fnnrtrlv he was chairman of ' SEASIDE HOTEL ELECTS G. O. Madison of Portland to Run 1'esort This Summer. SEASIDE. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) The board of directors of the Sea side Hotel company today announced the selection of Q. O. Madison of Port land to be manager of the Seaside hotel beginning March 1 next. Mr. Madison is one of the best known hotel men in the noKhwest, having been for many years with the Nortonia hotel at Portland. The Seaside hotel was completed two years ago at a cost of $250,000, and is recognized as the finest beach hotel on the Pacific coast north of California. Under the new management many new attractive features will be added in the nature of entertainment and service. worse for wear. Tho executive of fices have been crowded every day since President Harding came to the White House, and the . evidences of wear and tear are everywhere to be seen. Even the president's own of fice could be touched up to great ad vantage. The care of the White House and the executive offices is not under the direction of the president. It is in the hands of the engineer officer of the army In charge of public build ings and grounds. It may be that he is waiting for the summer before giving the offices a thorough over hauling, "but with the snow of the Is st blizzard still impeding traffic on some of the capital streets summer seems a long way off. The exterior of the White House was given a coat of fine white paint just before the arms conference began. The execu tive offices were added to the White House by President Roosevelt. President Harding has been hailed as the first newspaper man to occupy the White House. But that is not precisely true. William Howard Taft at one time was a newspaper re porter. President Harding's Journey from journalism to chief executive authority was a little more direct. He was only six years on the way via the United States senate. It took Mr. Taft Just 28 years to leap from a reporter's desk in Cincinnati to the White House in 'Washington. It isn't blazoned in letters of fire in the chief justice's biography and It almost has been forgotten in the glamor of his great public career, but none the less and notwlthsta nd- a sort of moving picture Atlas. "I am sure you know of my gratl itude for the help which you have given to our efforts 1n the postoffice department," the letters read, "and I just as earnestly desire your advice and co-operation in this new field. The motion picture industry is a big institution of far-reaching importance and I hope possibly to be able to help in making it a still further bene fit. The object of the association which is being formed will be two fold. First, to attain and maintain the highest possible standard of mo tion picture productions; second, to support to the fullest degree the moral and educational value of the industry." 0 To his newspaper friends the postmaster-general has added: "I hope you will let me keep In close touch with you." If Dr. Hubert Work, first assistant postmaster-general, is elevated to cabinet rank when Will Hays retires on March 4, he will be the second Col- oradoan ever to sit in a president's of ficial family. The other distinguished son of this Rocky Mountain state was Henry M. Teller, who held the port folio of secretary of the interior un der President Arthur. After, as a sen ator, Mr. Teller led a somewhat check ered political career. With many other inter-mountain republicans he walked out of the St. Louis convention of 1896 which nominated McKinley be cause of the party's stand against the free coinage of silver. He was elect ed to the senate afterward as a free silver democrat. Archie Stevens of Denver was one OFFICES ARE VACATED Normal Glee Club Elects Leaders as Result of Clause.

Many vacancies were caused in practically every organization on the campus as a result of the enforcement of a clause in the student body constitu tion which "provides that no student may hold more than one office at one time.

The glee club was left without officers and the folowlng were elected to fill the vacancies: President, Sue Bonner of Silverton; vice-president, Jane Gunn of Hermis ton; secretary-treasurer, Greta Brum mage of Portland.
