THE SUNDAY OREGONTAX. PORTLAND. MAY 7. 1922 JILL DATES FEAR Will. OLCOTT MOTHERS' DAY, TO BE CELEBRATED SUNDAY, MAY 14, RECALLS MANNER IN WHICH OBSERVANCE WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. Eleven Days Remain Before Issues Go to Voters, QUICK COUNT EXPECTED Double System of Judges and Clerks Is Likely to Reveal Results by Midnight. Eleven days of the primary cam paign remain. In that period the re sults will be determined and active candidates are striving to make each day count. With the double system of judges and clerks, the counting board going to work -at 10 A. M. on May 19, the results should be known by midnight of primary day, save where there are very close contests. This applies, too, on the governorship. It is the first time that the counting will he only 20 ballots behind the receiving board and, if the law is respected and no leaks are developed, the results will be only a short distance behind the Closing of the polls. Gubernatorial Struggle Keen. As the candidates for governor swing into the home stretch, the struggle is becoming more keen, statements from the various political camps show that Governor Olcott is the man each of the others is trying to beat. The Charles Hall managers say that Mr. Olcott Is the man they must beat. The Patterson supporters say the same and lieutenants of George A. White assert that the only man they have to beat is Mr. Olcott. This is also the view taken by Louis XL Bean backers and those of J. D. Lee. These admissions place Olcott, the in cumbent, as the strong man, but this Is the only point on which there is agreement, for each of the aspirants counts on defeating Olcott. Eastern Oregon to Be Invaded. Patterson and White are planning an Invasion of eastern Oregon; Lee and Bean have already been in that section, and Hall is also headed for east of the Cascades. The programme of all the candidates for governor, save Olcott, who is remaining at Salem, is to finish the campaign in Multnomah county. The latter days of the campaign will Bee Bean, Hall. Patterson, White and Lee all making a canvass in Portland, where the bulk of the republican voters resides. In dications at present tend to show that Multnomah will turn the tide and nominate the republican candidate. This Is the reason that the candidates propose concentrating their efforts here in the closing days. Each, how ever, has laid the groundwork in Port land for the final fence-building. McArthur Manages Campaign. In the third congressional district C. N. McArthur. incumbent, is now on the ground managing his own cam paign. Opposition to McArthur is split three ways, which should simplify his problems. Although not indorsed by organized labor, McArthur's record is such that he will receive a larger labor vote in the coming primaries than in the past. V.'ith his opponents. Franklin F. Korell, M. E. Crumpacker and Sanf ield MacDonald, McArthur has appeared before various meetings in the past week. All four of the re publican aspirants are working hard. In the first congressional district a spectacu lar campaign is being con ducted by A. W. Norblad of Astoria against W. C Haw ley, incumbent. Mr Hawley is in Washington but has been covering his district through corresDondence. This is the first time in several years that Hawley has had an aggressive opponent. Mr. Norblad, with 38 papers supporting him edi torially, is expressing great confidence in the outcome. Sporadic Opposition Stained, A sporadic opposition against X. J. Sinnott, incumbent. In the second congressional district, with James tJwinn of Pendleton. The Sin not opposition is, apparently, most active in the vicinity of Pendleton and Sinnott's friends express no fear ot the outcome. Getting down to one of the exciting spots of the campaign, the contest for republican nat ional committee man is being wiged with vigor both by R. E. Williams, incumbent, and O. H. Fithian. Will H. Hays, former national chairman, wired Williams yesterday saying: "Your election as vice-chairman of the national com mittee was the fullest possible evi dence of the committee's gratitude to you and their confidence in your great future usefulness to the committee and the party." Much Trouble Caunea. Seven county commissioner candi dates, with two to nominate, have caused much trouble among the groups who plan issuing "tickets." While overshadowed by the guberna torial and national committeeman contests, the fight for county com missioner is far from being a tame affair. Overtures made to have three of the aspirants withdraw during the last week met with strenuous refusal and thereafter the battle among the seven became more exciting. Among aspirants for the legisla ture, the main question is the matter of indorsements on special "tickets." The Merchants' and Manufacturers association was first in the field with a selected list of candidates and the labor council has made its indorse ments. The cf tiaens' tax committee has also picked the men it will sup port. On the labor ticket only part mm slrtpd last week, but the rest hA lawlela--: ,. H1 will h, mttnVdl Monday night. The motor vehicle league is about to propose its ticket, which in the main will parallel the ticket of the labor council. PntterMon I Indorsed. The motor vehicle league was or ganized for the purpose of protecting owners from unfriendly and unfair taxation: developing an equitable license system : formulating adequate road and traffic laws; preventing waste of public road funds and rep resenting motor vehicle owners at all times and assisting in the betterment of their condition. On a referendum ballot the league has indorsed Patterson for governor; Williams for national committeeman, and Orumpacker for representative ot the third congressional district. The legislative ticket is In abeyance. The labor ticket, according to re port, when completed will have Boyd. Brownell. Coffey, Horne. Lynn. Proud foot. Rynerson. Woodward and Mrs. Simmons for representatives. The citizens" tax committee is offering Bristol. Hanks and Corbett for state senators and for the house Gordon. Killingsworth. Coffey, Boyd. Staple ton.

OBSERVANCE NATION-WIDE Mlsa Anna Jarvis, Philadelphia Sunday school teacher, who started beautiful custom by wearing white carnations. MQSE BLOCK IS DEAD MONEY LENDER SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACK. .Man Wlio Occupied Place in Court house 3 0 Years Rears Orphan Children and Helps Friends. Union county. He drove a freight train, horse drawn, between Umatilla and Boise. His father died in 1884 and the young man returned to Port land and started his money-lending career. Mose M. Bloch, money lender and philanthropist, dropped dead at the breakfast table in his home at 773 Johnson street yesterday morning. A heart attack was the cause. Thousands who came to know Mr. Bloch during his 30 years' occupancy of the courthouse were shocked at the news and his scores of friends about county offices were grief stricken. To many he was more than a money lender, he was a friend in distress and a great number of stories were told of his kindly, gen erous acts. During the past years when the county has been almost continuously on a warrant basis, Mr. Bloch was of great assistance to county employes, cashing their pay warrants and ac cepting the 6 per cent certificates of county indebtedness. He never charged commission for such accommodation to his friends, even at a time when banks were discounting the war rants and stores refused to accept them at face value. The system of paying county employes montHly ca used many to go to Mr. Bloch for small advances on their pay near the end of a month and he received many assignments of warrants as a result. Those who dealt regularly with Mr. Bloch found him honest and never complained of exorbitant Inter est charges. For many years he cashed the warrants of widow pen sioners, never charging for his serv ices. Mr. Bloch kept considerable raised ' casn on hand in various bank ac counts ana ioanea oui inousanas oi dollars to his friends about the court house without requiring note or se curity. It is said. From .time to time, county commis sioners had endeavored to oust Mr. Bloch from the courthouse, declaring that he had built up a powerful po litical machine which was sometimes used against the best Interests of the county. Mr. Bloch only smiled at their efforts and remained on the job. defying the commissioners to deny him access to a public building. Never having married, Mr. Bloch nevertheless reared four orphan chil dren at his home on Johnson street, and was always "Papa Mose" to them. Surviving are four sisters, Sarah Bos covitch and the Misses Bertha. Flora and Bessie Bloch. and a brother, J. P. Bloch, all of Portland. Mr. Bloch was born in Portland on February 20, 1859, at the corner of Second and Stark streets, in a home occupied jointly by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Bloch and the family of Judge Henry E. McGinn. He was born just nine days before the former circuit judge. Mr Bloch was educated in the pub lic schools of this city and took up barberlng as a trade in his early youth, being instructed by Abe Tich nor. Later he learned plumbing. In the late 70s. Mr. Bloch took up freighting, his family moving to BLOW AIMED AT ADDICTS Possession of Opium Pipe or Needle Would Be Illegul. Adoption of a city ordinance framed under direction of City Attorney Grant would make it illegal for a person to have in his possession an opium smoking outfit or hypodermic needle. This ordinance was filed yesterday and will come before the city council next Wednesday. Under present ordinances it is not a misdemeanor merely to have the paraphernalia of a narcotic addict in one's possession. The new ordinance would have the effect of making it much easier for police officers to ar rest drug-peddling suspects and users and makes more certain their convic tion in court. The ordinance will further relieve the city attorney's of fice of the necessity of proving that the possessor of narcotics or narcotic using equipment is not a licensed peddler or physician.

Mothers Day Will Be Celebrated Here and in AH Parts of Country Next Sunday. Homage to the mothers of America will be paid by a grateful nation one week from today. "Mothers' day," on which the sons and daughters of the country give thanks for the splendid women who reared them, will be celebrated next Sunday, May 14. The visual token of gratitude will consist in line with the custom of re cent years, in the wearing of "her favorite flower." Widespread plans for the nation-wide observance of the day have been adopted. In churches and In prisons, in the huge cities and throughout the sparsely settled districts, in congress and in the lesser legislative halls, the citi zens of the country will pause for an instant sometime during the coming week to do honor to the "mothers of America." When the day was first generally observed a few years ago white car nations were the flowers used to typify filial affection and devotion. This custom has been gradually su perseded by the custom of wearing " her favorite flower." Girl's Devotion Emulated. To Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadel phia belongs the honor of establish ing "Mothers' Day." Some years ago Miss Jarvis, who was teacher in a Sunday school in Philadelphia, wore a huge bouquet of white carnations to church in memory of the birthday of her mother. The birthday, May 12, that year fell on Sunday, the second Sunday in May. The idea of honoring mothers on a Special day each year spread through out the city, and the next year prac tically every church and Sunday school in Philadelphia set aside the second Sunday in May as "mothers' Jay." By the third year the observance was nation-wide.- With the increasing observance of the day came a great demand for white carnations as offi cial flowers for the occasion. So great Indeed was the demand that the price of carnations jumped automatically on and before "mothers' day," in some Instances selling at prices as high as $1 each. "Her Favorite" Restflt. Prices finally became so high that florists themselves took remedial measures and the custom of wearing "her favorite flower" rather than white carnations resulted. Portland florists have already taken steps to prevent the charging of ex orbitant prices this year. In a meet ing held Friday night, according to Alfred Clarke, prominent local dealer, a big advertising campaign was agreed upon, to urge the public to observe the day by wearing "her fa vorite flower rather than to special ize in the wearing of carnations.
