1& THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 18, -1922 LOCAL POLITICAL POT II BOW Plans for Organization House Incubating. of CONFERENCES ARE HELD i . - - i live Aspirants In Line for J"of House Executive, but Some May " Soon Be Eliminated. Political circles have been keen& alive the past week over the plana to organize the house of represent atives of the legislature and the coming week the selection of a re publican state chairman will vie in importance with the legislative cam paign for the speakership. AH the aspirants for the speaker's Job have been in. Portland and there have been Innumerable conferences, but it to too early to forecast the winner. Aspirants for the speakership are Denton O. Burdick of Redmond, K. K. Kubli, Herbert Gordon and Walter Lynn of Portland anS Thomas B. Kay of Salem. Of the quintet Lynn is the least aggressive, while the other four are on, the job day and: niffht rounding up support. Before the final adjustment of the speakership situation there probably will be an, adjustment of differences, with only two candidates in, the race, ach with. . good, solid and u.beta.ntf a 1 line-up. It looks right now as tat whoever wins for speaker ha m.1orltv and minority will be so nearly even in strength that all bands will have to be on dieck when the clerk calls the roll of house members on bills where the two camps are antagonistic. Conference Proves Futile. Fifteen men, most of them from upstate, assembled) In Portland on Wednesday and tried, to- settle the speakership matter, although none of the men present was a member of the legislature or even a nominee. Of the 16, five were for one candi date, five for- another and) the re maining five, who had th balance of power, eald1 nothing axd did nothing, so the conference arrived ' at nothing definite. The IB men in conference are affiliated! with the secret societies which are in the fed eration group, sponsors of the or ange ticket. If gossip is reliable Mr. Kubli will have all of the Multnomah house members backing his candi dacy with the exception of Mr. Gor don, himself a candidate, and pos sibly one other. Mr. Kubli i said to have the voluntary support of at least half a dozen other newly nom inated members upstate. Mr. Burdick has the support of the colleagues of his d'strict to start witii and has several other straight out pledges of support. The Bur dick programme may be handled by a campaign committee of old legis lators, as a number of representa tives have volunteered their services 'n this direction. Good Feeling Displayed. Mr. Gordon Is supposed! to have votes on which to build, and Mr. Kay likewise, estimates of their strength varying. The utmost good feeling Is displayed by the aapirr ants, for there have been confer ences between Mr. Burdick and Mr. Kubli, Mr. Burdick and Mr. Gordon, Mr. Gordon and Mr. Kay, and Mr. Kubli made a trip to Salem to talk over things with Mr. Kay, but he missed htm. Undoubtedly the speak ership campaign will affect the se lection of president of the state sen ate. B. 1m. Eddy, senator from Done-- las county, aspirant for president. came to Portland and surveyed his prospects for a couple of days. Any organization for speaker or president at this time is merely tentative. If not premature, for the general election la November will determine who are elected to the legislature. . There are persistent rumors that the democrats plan to exert themselves to elect several senators and representatives and there Is also talk . of independents in two or three counties. In figur ing on house organization now only repuDiicans are being considered. Committee Meet Called. Thomas H. Tongue Jr, chairman of the republican state central com anittee, has Issued a call for the committee to meet at the Imperial, in Portland, next Saturday, June 24 for organization and election of of ficers. Not all of the county com Jnlttees have organized, so the per sonnel of the new state committee will not be known until the commit tee on credentials reports at the gathering Saturday. Considerable interest attaches to the election of a new state chair man. Mr. Tongue, who has held the position for the past four years, says emphatically that he is through and does not wish the re sponsibilitles for another term. With Mr. Tongue out of consideration, the field Is being looked over for possibilities. There are three re- , publicans whose names are freely mentioned for state chairman. These are Phil Metschan of Portland, A. H. Lea of Portland and Walter L. Tooze Jr. of McMinnville. The state chair man does not have to be a member of the committee, but can be se lected from material outside the duly elected members. Mr. Metschan has long been in the republican har ness and Is a strict party man. Mr. Lea la known best as secretary of the stats fair association, a position he held for several seasons, and Mr. Tooze St. Is one of the most active of the younger republicans , In the state. Others Are Mentioned. ; Bruce Dennis of La Grande nas been discussed for chairman, but friends of Mr. Dennis Insist that toe does not wish the job. A. A. Bailey, state committeeman for Multnomah county, has also been mentioned, but he says he has no aspirations In that direction. - - There is some campaigning in progress for Metschan, Lea and Tooze, but this Is around the edges and no direct offensive has been launched In behalf of any one of the trio. Before Saturday the campaign ing will become more keen and a lively -contest is anticipated. Aside from the selection of offi cers, the state -committee will be asked to adopt resolutions, asking that the direct primary law, as now constituted, be amended. -Various amendments are being, advocated, ranging from party platform con-, ventions to conventions for recom mending candidates for the pri maries. . Senator Dennis has been instructed by the Union county re publican committee to offer reso lutions to the state committee to adopt the New Tork primary sys tem in lieu of that operating In Oregon. Some Committeemen Hamed. Republican state committeemen who have been elected thus far are: Multnomah, A. A. Bailey; Union, Bruce Dennis; Linn, W. 1 Marks; Umatilla, E. B. Costeal; Lane. W. G. D. Mercer; Tillamook, Fred C Baker; Jackson, S. S. Smith; Dong las, George Neuner; Benton, B. W. Johnson; Deschutes, M. A. Lynch; Lincoln, O. V. Hurt; Polk, C. E. Kirkpatrick,' and Columbia, T. C Watts. - No call Vlll be issued for assem bling the democratic state commit tee until the return of Dr. C. J. Smith, state chairman, who is now in the east. ADVISERS OF HALL SUGGEST RECOUNT Defeated Candidate Still Un certain on .Contest. VOTE HELD v IRREGULAR Senator Does Not Say He Will Fight Result, Bnts Points Out -Reasons Why He Should. FRIENDS RU IRK OREGON QUAKERS CONSIDER CHURCH EXTENSION. Boy Overlooked in Pack ing Children Into Auto. Parents Leave Child Behind In Dash to Harvest. TJOOD RIVER, Or. JunS 17. JT1 (Special.) -En route from Al bany to strawberry fields here, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Baker yesterday motored from the city automobile park, leaving an 8-year-old son, Jack. The small car was piled hieh with camping equipment, on which five other children were perched in various attitudes, and the parents, in their haste to reach the harvest fields, overlooked Jack. The de serted boy raised an alarm that attracted other campers, and Park Supervisor Sloat telephoned the office of Sheriff Johnson. Traffic Offjcers Murray and Wood were dispatched at once to search for the family on the Columbia river highway, it having been Dre sumed that they had headed out of the city either east or west. The family, however, was discovered later in the valley and the lost boy restored. 'In their pursuit of the Raymon family the traffic officers both participated in bad spills when ; their motorcycles skidded on loose gravel just placed on spots where asphaltlo oil was "bleeding" through tno unaoa.

PENDLETON, Or.; June 17.Spe- clal.) The Klser studios of Port land may obtain the right to film a picture story around the Pendleton Round-up,, if present tentative ar rangements are confirmed by the dl rectors of the big September event. The plan of the -company is to have a scenario Svritten about the show and then use Pendleton as the big open-air studio with the Round-up aa a setting. - Tom Mix, famous film star, with his $50,000 saddle horse, Tony, and a troupe of cowboys and cowgirls, will be here for the show and will take part in the performances as well as staging all features of a big film. According to Mix, there will be bo halt In the show or any Inter ference with any event for the tak ing of his moving pictures. ' Advisers "of Charles Hall Inform him that In-their opinion his plur ality might well be estimated at several thousand votes Instead of his being 621 votes behind Ben W. Olcott In the republican primary race tor governor. As a change of about 262 votes from Olcott to Hall would give the latter the nomina tion, all signs point to Hall demand ing a recount id certain precincts. In a formal statement issued yes terday Hall does not say In so many words that he will file a contest, but -he points out a series of reasons why h might benefit from a re count. An average change of one half vote in each precinct in Mult nomah county would give him a plurality, he explains. Hall, by the way, carried Multnomah by an ex cess of 800 votes. ' Statement Made Public A Mr. Hall's statement as to his In tentions regarding a s-uggested re count follow: ' AppjoxSmatiely 115,000 votes were. cast for tb rep-u.bii.ean nom4nlatfon for governor to ch primary May 19. Tluo oiflolai canvass of that vote has not yet been arumoruaoed. ' Com-pot-ent lawyers on my committee- advise that tihe law pnovlidies a period of 20 days after the official ammouncie- nven of too camv&ss within wfcch to ask for a recount. Naturally my supporters desire to ascertaltm first all the facte piosslbdo upiom wh&dh to Dase a course of action, and do not de-sire to reach a. determimatlom until uho fullest investigation can be made. Therefore lit will not be necessary eMlier to make or to pubr Msrti such a determination prema turely. I It would seem proper, however, to say now uhat the reports: of ir-regudajittles and definite informa tion rn regcrd tio' -thein are . worthy of itjhorough consideration. These Irregularities appear to be wide spread and to particularly dtotta- guden many precincts reporting a (heavy vote against myself. It will be borne in, mind that a chamge of about 262 from Governor OLoott to myself would mean my nomination as the repubUca-n candidate for gov ernor. There are over 2000 precincts in the state, and about 426 in Mult nomah county. Thus It will- be seen nhait an average change of one-faalf vote in each precinct in. Multnomah county atone, or an average change of one-tenth of one vote In each precinct in the start, would insure a plurality for me. St. panl Vote Mentioned. 'As one striking instance of the nature of the .reports that caused my friends to pursue their investi gation, the vote at St. PauL In Marion county, may be mentioned. The returns showed that.I received but three votes; in spite of the fact that SS9 voters were registered. It is claimed that nearly SO persons Registered as democrats appeared at the polls and asked, and were per mitted, to vote the republican ballot. changing their registration then, and there; that more, than 50 additional votes were eworn to, and that al though nearly 100 democrats had been oristnallv" reelsterad. onlv seven democratio ballots were re turned as cast. . "My friends believe that no' harm Lcould be done by investigating, checking and recounting uch in stances. They appear to be rather general throughout the state, and my committee advises me that in their opinion my plurality might wen- be estimated at several thou sand votes." Others Consider Contests. If Hall Is contemplating a con test, so are W. .W. Banks and. John B. Coffey, both of whom Were can didates in the republican primaries for legislative nominations. Mr. Banks was a candidate for nomina tion for the senatorial district of Columbia, Multnomah and Clacka mas counties. He is about 147 votes, behind W. J. HL Clark on the official count Banks led Clark in Clacka mas and Columbia by 425 votes, but fell behind in Multnomah. A change of T4 votes in the 426 precincts in Multnomah in favor of Banks would give him the nomination.. Mr. Cof fey ' was candidate for representa tive In Multnomah county and was about 125 votes short of being nom Inated. A change of about 65 votes In his favor would nominate Coffey and pry R. J. Kirkwood off the list. An Impartial, official recount of the 40,000-odd ballots cast in Mult nomah might disclese- many things or nothing affecting Banks, Goffey, Hall or Olcott. , A recount of the Multnomah ballots might nominate Banks and Coffey and give the county to Olcott instead of to Hall, or might show that Banks and Cof fey were decisively defeated and that Hall and Olcott each received credit for all ' the votes to which they were entitled. If the ballot boxes are reopened for Coffey and Banks it would be a simple matter to keep check on the gubernatorial vote as well. , terday aranged another calendar of hearings on application for certi ficates on 15. different routes, the dates running from June It t Jan uary 1, The schedule follows At Olympia June 19, Shelton-Port An geles 6ta?e company, passenger and ex press, relative to advisability of canceling certificate.

Mark Weygandt, veteran Mount Hood guide, who has just re turned from his first ascent of this season, reports less snow on the peak and its side above Cooper' spur than normally at this time of the year. Apparently precipitation at the-higher altitudes the. past winter was far less than on the lower areas. Mr. Weygandt,' who was accom panied on the ascent by Will Jones, found the snow on the peak suffl ciently shallow to permit them to enter the lookout cabin of the for estry service.
