DEMOCRATS HAVE NONE I'lione Kate Case Creates Addi , tional Interest In Race for Pub lic Service Commissioner. From top to bottom of the ticket there are elgrna of Increasing activity in republican politics. Democrats are still wondering what they can do in the. way of getting out a ticket The indications, are that there will toe at least six men from which to make a selection for governor on the republican ticket, while the demo crats apparently will be lucky if they have a single aspirant. ' Tie high spots of interest are gov ernor, public service commission. congressman from the 3d district, circuit Judges la Multnomah county and Multnomah, county commission era. Talking points in the campaign probably will be reduction of taxes, income tax, cabinet form of govern ment, elimination of state commis eions and opposition of land owner ship by aliens who cannot be natur alized. Tnesawill be supplemented by other issues brought up in the platforms of gubernatorial candi dates who -have- not yet placed them selves oa record. Mn Fatteraon May Ran. Three developments of the past two das have ' been the retirement of C. E. Gates of Medford from the race for governor, with the statement that while getting out of the .game a this time be is planning and organ Ising to go after the nomination four rears hence. The announcement of the platform of Louis E.' Bean and the declaration of I. L. Patterson that he probably will formally an nounce his own candidacy this week, iir. Patterson is said . to have re ceived offers of agricultural support while in Portland Friday afternoon of such pressing nature that he in formed friends that they would very likely 'have the opportunity of vot ing for him. Governor Olcott Is still sitting tight.- He will be a candidate, but is taking his leisure in making pub lic statement to that effect. X Mllionalrea Enter Race. S. A. Lowell of Pendleton, whose platform ha3 been published, not his formal candidacy, writes that when the complete lineup is known that he shall "again place the sub ject of campaign expenditures before the candidates in a formal letter, that the public may know the attitude of each upon this important subject." "The vast expenditure of money in primary campaigns," writes Judge Lowell, "is a menace to popular gov- etrnment. It must be stopped or the invisible government will be re stored." ' Thus far no ftiiiiionaires or walthy men have entered the field. Since the decision of the state pub lic service commission in declining to grant relief from the increased telephone rates, this commission has been brought into a prominent place in the impending primary election. The group behind the recall move ment has announced that they intend going- through with their plans to remove all three commissioners, if possible. Thus far, however, the re crtllers have not indicated whether they will bring out their own candi date. ' J. H. Thit-hoff 1 Candidate. J. R. Thiehoff, a conductor on the Seaside-Astoria run, is the first to announce that he will be a candidate. Mr. Thiehoff put himself before the public so that it would not be sus pected that he is a recall candidate, for he says that he has no connection vith that movement. While Mr. Thiehoff is the first to announce himself, rumors connect the names of several others with the po sition how held by Commissioner Williams, whose successor is to be nominated in May. One bit of gossip is that Mr. Williams may not be a candidate to succeed himself, but this rumor lacks confirmation. Thomas K. Handley, . state corporation com missioner and formerly member of the state senate, has been importuned to run - for public service commis sioner. Requests of this sort have been sent to Mr. Handley from many parts of the state, but he says that while he appreciates the confidence placed in him by those asking him to run. he has definitely decided that he will not be a candidate. John W. Van Horn Mentioned. John W. Van Horn, connected with the transportation department of the linion Pacific system, is also men tioned as a possible candidate. Mr. Van Horn is said to be giving the matter serious consideration and he is in position, if he decides to run, to have organized backing at least in Multnomah county. Thomas K. Campbell, one of the first three com missioners appointed by George E. Chamberlain as governor when the commission was created, is mentioned as a tentative aspirant. Two of the gubernatorial candidates have issued their platforms and each lias taken a crack at the public serv ice commission. Speaker Bean advo cates a cabinet form of government and wiping out commissions, includ ing, of course, the public service com mission. Charles Hall, himself a tele phone official whose rates have been increased somewhat by the commis sion, advocates in his platform the abolition of the commission by com bining it with other departments. ! What other candidates for governor will say regarding this particular commission remains, to be seen. Walter Lynn Likely to Rnn. Unless conditions change, Walter Lynn said a few days ago, he prob ably would be a candidate for con gress in the third district. If he comes in. he will make the fourth as pirant. Those now candidates of rec ord are C. N. McArthur, Incumbent; Franklin F. Korell and Maurice E. Crumpacker. Mr. McArthur will be home before the primaries to do some personal campaigning. Messrs Korel! and Crumpacker already are engaged in lining up their forces. - Circuit judges whose terms are about to expire and whose successors must be nominated in the primaries are Judges Tucker, Kavanaugh. Taz well, Gatens and Evans. J. N. Davis has announced that he will oppose i Judge Gatens, and Leslie Crouch is being urged to go against Judge Kav anaugh. There is also talk of oppo sition to Judge Evans. Stanley Meyers, recently appointed district attorney, is a candidate to succeed himself and street rjport says he will have a contender in the primaries. Month Left for Filing;, j Only a few announcements have" in Multnomah county. There is still oMALL more than a month for filing, how ever, and voters can Test assured that there will be no crop shortage. Dow V. Walker, Ralph W. Hoyt and Rufus C. Holman want to be county commissioners, two to nominate, and Robert A. Sawyer is a prospect and A. A. Muck, former county commis sioner, is another.

Mr. Wheeler was born 70 years ago last Friday in a log house on the east bank of the Willamette river at a point about two blocks north of Holla day avenue, on the old Wheeler do nation land claim. His father, Jacob Wheeler, came to Oregon from Mis souri, traveling with "an ox team across the plains in 1845, and was then still In his teens. He was attracted to. California by the gold rush, but after one season there returned to Oregon with a fortune he had $4100 in gold and in 1849 he married Jemima J. Wills, daughter of George Wills, who built the first sawmill here, on John son creek. HELP IS PROMISED BANK Portland Help Reported for French Institution at The Dalles. THE DALLES, Or., March 4.

'' 'i .- - - ' -(" ... Fees on pre-war basis. , DR. J. DE LURT MULLOY 653 Pittock Block A state-wide campaign for the co operation of the general public in cutting down the retail merchants' overhead expense arid thus enabling them to give better service and possi bly lower prices will be inaugurated immediately by. the Oregon Retail Merchants' association, according to L. L. Thomas of Marshfield, recently elected president of that organization. Mr. Thomas was in Portland last week preparing for the drive. Mr. Thomas has just appointed an executive board consisting of W. W. Hill, Portland; EVerman Robbins, Mo lajla; J. C. Mann, Portland; A. C. Marat era, Roseburg. and Edward S. bcnunKe, baiem. These men will ac sist him in the campaign. Profiteering la Denied. "The retail merchants of the counn try have been accused of profiteerdng, when, as a matter of fact, they are just getting by at present," said Mr. Thomas. "The trouble is that the general public is demanding too much unnecessary service and that is cut ting down the profits of the retail man and making it impossible for him to cut prices or even make a reason able profit. "During the war this was not true. s many people bought fat large quan tities, paid cash and often did their own delivering. "Our campaign will be for the pur pose of encouraging the public to co operate in the same way it did during the war. Buying in Quantities ITrged. "It readily can be seen what buying in large quantities means to the mer-. chant. When 100 pounds of sugar Is sold in four-pound packages, which is the ordinary size, it means that 25 paper bags are required. The small sales all must be measured, wrapped and delivered. This means a lot of time and extra work as well as the cost of the bags." Mr. Thomas also declared that the paying of bills promptly by customers means a big factor to the merchant, in that he could also pay promptly and obtain discounts. Mr. Thomas is the youngest man ever elected head, of the Retail Mer chants' association. The recent convention at Roseburg was declared by him to be the best ever held and much work of a con structive character, was done. A big feature, according to the new presti dent, was the amendment to the by laws providing for the handling of the business of the association' by the executive committee of rive members.

W McFadden. builder, to erect a combination grocery store, meat market and drug store, camouflaged as a residence, in the heart of exclu sive Laurelhurst.

Council to Be Petitioned. . A. G. Johnson, assistant commis sioner of public works, announced yesterday .that property owners of Laurelhurst had notified him that petition would be filed with the city council next week, requesting the council to vacate the circular strip of ground at East 39th and Glisan and acquire it as a city street. If this petition is acted upon favor ably, proceedings will be instituted by the city for the acquisition of the property, the cost of which will be distributed over an assessment dis trict including property in the district Denentea. The property owners will maintain It is said, that' the present circular strip is dangerous to traffic and should be taken over as a street. Plat Not Dedicated, as Park. Judge Phelps, in his decision, held that the plot of land had neer been dedicated as a park, as was contended by James L. Conley. and other peti tioners against the Laurelhurst com pany and Mr. McFadden. Maps of Laurelhurst always bad shown that circle as the location of the Laurel hurst office, he pointed out. The jurist held further that the residents nearby had no leiral remedy in the claim tnat they had been prom ised verbally that business' houses would not be permitted -in the area In view of the fact that tno deeds which they held specifically excluded block A, over which the controversy rages, from the testrlct'ons concern ing commerc-al buildings.

"Dm't Believe - That Old Humbug About 'Uric Acid Being the Cauae of Rhenmatlam It la Not So." . Emphatically asserting that thou sands of unfortunate sufferers have been led into taking wrong treat ments under the old and false belief that "URIC ACID" causes rheuma tism, Pastor H. W. Reed says: "As do some of our highest med ical authorities, I also now know that 'Uric Acid' never did and never will cause rheumatism! . .But -it took me many years to ' find put, this truth. I learned how to get rid of, my . rheumatism, and recover my strength, and health, through reading 'The Inner Mysteries of Rheuma tism,' a work written by an author ity who has scientifically studied the causes and treatment of rh'eu-' matism and its associated disorders' for over twenty years. ' It 'was, in deed, a veritable revelation!'" : "I had suffered agony for years' from rheumatism and- its- attendant disorders, and Mrs. Reed .was- -also-tortured with the demon 'Neuritis, almost beyond endurance. We had read and talked so much about 'Uric Acid' that .even our minds seemed poisoned. But the 'Inner Mysteries of Rheumatism' made it all clear to us, and now we are both frea from the suffering and misery we endured so many years. I really believe that I was the hardest man in the world to convert. For me to discard the old Uric Acid theory, and what I now know to be absolutely false, for the new, scientific understanding of the cause and cure of rheumatism, was almost like asking me to change my religious beliefs!
