Lieutenant-Colonelcy Won Chaplain Gilbert went before a board of officers last night to un d&rg-o his examination for perma sent commission, as required of all guard officers under a new war de partment ruling. He was asked a tew perfunctory questions and then Colonel C. E. Dentler, chairman of the board, asked him his length of ervice in the Oregon guard. "Twenty-five years, sir," proudly replied the chaplain. . "H-ml" the colonel scratched his bead "seems to me I saw some rul ing about length of service of chap- lalnns in the new regulations. Let me look It up." He pored over the pages of a large rwue dook. Finally he speared a paragraph with his Index finger and announced, triumphantly: "Here it is! Major Gilbert, you enouid he a lieutenant-colonel. Rank Dates From 1917.

CONFERENCE IS CALLED Candidates to Run Against Sen- Polndexter and Four , Representatives Sought. ator J PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle. Wash., June TL Ben Marsh, director of the farmers legislative council and a prominent figure In the third party movement, of 1924), lanced in the state of Washington a few days ago for the express purpose of per fecting arrangements for the defeat of Senator Miles Folndexter and at least four of Washington's five pres ent representatives In congress. Mr. Marsh wishes especially to defeat John F. Miller of the 1st district, Lin H. Hadley of the Sid, Albert Johnson of the 14 and J. Stanley Webster of the 5th. He would like to see a clean sweep made by Including John W. Summers of the 4th district, but he Is not so eager for Summers' scalp as he is for the others. Conference Is Called. In making his arrangements for this large undertaking Mr. Marsh has been arguing and dealing with members of the non-partisan league, of the 1920 farmer-labor party,, of William Bouck's so-called progres sive grange (not the regular state grange), and of the committee of 48. He has also talked long and earnestly with officers of the state federation of labor and the railway men's political club. The results of his efforts are Vindicated in a call for a general conference presumably' to be representative of all Interested elements. This conference will be held in Seattle at 10 o'clock tomor row morning. The first and perhaps most Im portant result expected from this conference is a declaration in favor of some one candidate to oppose Senator Poindexter in the repub lican primaries next September. Whether the conference will indicate preferences in opposition to the in cumbent members of the lower house is regarded as uncertain. These selections, it is said, are more likely to be referred to conferences in the several congressional dis tricts. ' Hope Pat Im Primaries. Mr. Marsh has succeeded in con vincing a number of those who have listened to him that the only chance of defeating Senator Poindexter and the four representatives lies in vot ing In the republican party pri maries. He has strongly advised against a third party ticket. He points to the fact that the farmer labor party has never yet held a primary election In this state, and for this reason he argues, thrft there will be no breach of political faltn in voting In the republican pri- i marles. His plan is either to give I united support to "satisfactory re publicans, or to get persons to me as candidates who are willing to pose as republicans for the duration of the campaign. Candidates Are Invited. Men and at least one woman who have indicated a willingness to run against Poindexter, or whose names have come into discussion of the senatorial primary, have been Invited to attend me Sunday con ference. Among those of this class expected to be present are Mrs. Frances C. Axtell of Bellingham, Colonel George B. Lamping and John E. Ballaine of Seattle." W. H. Paulhamus of Sumner may attend. unless meanwhile he should have reached a definite decision to with draw in favor of Colonel Lamping. Judge Austin E. Griffiths, who be lieves h has many friends la or ganized labor and among the farm ers of the state, will not take part In the conference. He saye he will continue as a candidate regardless of what the conferees may do. Clark V. Savtdge, state land com missioner, whose - name came Into the senatorial contest gossip last week, has been subjected to a "feel ing-out" process to ascertain If he would be Interested in what Mr. Marsh, proposes shall be done. Mr. Savidge is said to have settled the matter by the simple statement that he was not a candidate and would not be. Mr. Ballaine Ready to Quit. John E- Ballaine, who was first to take the field as an avowed candi date against Senator Poindexter. is now willing to abandon the contest if his friends are not too Insistent that he should keep on running. It has just become known that Mr. Ballaine was stricken with acute appendicitis within a fortnight after announcing his candidacy. He sub mitted to an immediate operation, and Is now about again, feeling, as he says, as f it as ever. Meanwhile. however, his campaign plans have had to be neglected. Judge Griffiths has come into the game, and Colonel Lamping has pushed to the front. There is more matter for considera tion now than there was at the time Mr. Ballaine made his an nouncement He is still willing to go if his friends Insist on it; but he is equally willing to stand aside If agreement can be reached on some one candidate who merits his aP' proval and support. . Two Hold Conferences. Colonel Laniping and Mr. Paul hamus have .been talking things over very earnestly for the last two or three days Just before the re publican state convention in Che halis Colonel Lamping wrote Mr. Paulhamus urging him to run for the senatorial nomination and prof fering his support. The recent col- loqulea between the two men have been for the purpose of helping Mr. Paulhamus to make a final decision. It is now Baid that he has decided not to run. In whioh case he can do no less than to make a reciprocal proffer of support to Colonel Lamp ing. Probably this has already been made; and it is more than probable that Lamping would also be accept able to Ballaine. Aside from the matter of selecting a senatorial candidate, as to which there may be some hitch in the Sun day conference, a'-majority of the conferees is expected to indorse Mr. Marsh's plan for general participa tion in the republican primaries.
