THREE VIEWS OF PRESIDENTS REPRESENTATIVE, AT ROSE FESTIVAL WHO LEFT
PORTLAND YESTERDAY.
NEWBERRY HELD VICTIM
t'se of Large Sums Declared Nec
essary to Get Nomination
Under Present System.
Although formerly a vigorous op.
ponont of woman suffrage. Miss
Alice M. Robartson, by quirk, ot
tat ,1a the only woman member of
congress. 6ha ia the lady from
Oklahoma who, as the personal rep
resentative of President Harding,
has been a guest of Portland the
past week, during the Rose Festival.
She may not be much on style, but
Miss Robertson certainly has posi
tive ideas on polities.
"My grandfather believed that the
laws dealing with the Indiana were
illegally passed, and he spent two
years in prison as a result,, ex
plained Miss Robertson, at the
Multnomah. "I am proud of him
and his courage. I was state chair
man of the anti-suffrage committee,
but when the people adopted the
amendment I bowed my head to the
will of. the majority and began
taking an interest in politics. Mow
that women have the ballot they
should exercise It.
Party Government Indorsed.
"Right from the -start I want to
declare," observed Miss Robertson,
"that I believe In party government.
There should be two great parties;
It Is the only way. I believe, too,
in the convention system.
"One day, when Satan down be
low had nothing to do, he conceived
a scheme for the ruination of Amer
ica, and he invented the direct pri
mary system. It is a curse on this
country. Under the direct primary
law the rich man is the nominee.
It cannot be otherwise. Look at
Pennsylvania, where Pinchot spent
$200,000, all in a legitimate manner.
Ford hag been advertising for years
and has spent a fortune getting his
name before the public. Newberry
was censured for money spent in
advancing his cause, yet Newberry
and his friends did not begin to
spend the sum which Henry Ford
had used in advertising.
Newberry Considered Innocent.
Newberry, I believe, was Innocent
of violating the law In Spending
money. If I had been in the senate
I would have voted to seat New
berry and -clear him. He was, in a
way, the victim of the direct pri
mary. "No poor man can be elected un
der the direct primary, for the only,
way a candidate can make a show
ing is through the newspapers and
newspaper advertising space costs
money. Unless a man is particu
larly well known and circumstances
are in his favor he cannot compete
in a direct primary against a man
of large means.
"I believe that this feature of the
primary system is now fairly well
recognized by the thinking people
throughout the United States. The
primaries are disintegrating the
two main political parties."
. , Mine Sinrders Disenssed.
Miss Robertson carefully packed
some damp paper around a box of
rose blossoms which she was pre
paring to ship to San Francisco be
fore continuing.
"Look at the news from Illinois,"
said she, "with 30 or more miners
murdered. Think of that in the
heart of civilization. I hold no brief
for capital nor for labor, but one
cannot live without the other. If
an Income tax is adopted in Ore
gon and manufacturers move to
Vancouver, Wash., or elsewhere,
what will become of the consum
ers? Feet and hands cannot live
without the rest of the body. Em
ployers and labor are linked so
closely together that it is impossible
for one to exist without the other.
Farmers Are Blamed.
"I am told that the farmer vote
In Oregon has brought about much
of the legislation which this state
has. and. that the farmers are back
ing the income tax measure. My
father used to say that the farmer
was the most Intelligent citizen in
America, because he read little and
thought a great deal. Now, I am
convinced, the farmer is the great
est reader In this country, and
reading Is a good thing, provided
that the right-material is read. The
farmer has more time to read than
formerly, and he avails himself of
the opportunity, but some of the
things that he reads are not funda
mentally right.
"The big and vital questions are
frequently overlooked. There was
a hearing In Washington before a
congressional committee on a sub
ject in which women felt an appeal
There were flappers and grandmoth
ers present; there were poorly
dressed women and women in silks.
The room was not large enough to
nola au or tne women who en
deavored to attend.
Wme Avoid Coal Hearing.
There was also a hearing on the
coal situation. It continued for
weeks, and never was a woman
present, and yet the subject of fuel
affects every Individual in America,
you may not use coaL but you use
gas, or wood or electricity and as
fuel all these are Interlocked. Fuel
Is a matter close to the life of
women, and yet, as I said, not one
woman attended the coal hearing.
"The cause of the miners and the
mine ownera Is as Important to
women as a welfare bill, aird women
should Interest themselves and
study the coal situation as atten
tively as they do matters of espe
cial interest to women. And that is
true of other problems."
Thinking Like Man's.
Miss Robertson, woman, though
she Is, thinks like a man. Long
since she passed girlhood and mid
dle life; her hair is white and
streamers of It flow from under her
hat. Her mouth is broad and her
smile is all-embracing, but her eyes
are compelling. Those eyes of hers
stare unblinklngly, and are wells
of intelligence. She speaks slowly
and with deliberation. . She ap
proaches a subject In a round-about
way until before one had become
accustomed to her style the thought
coimes that she is off her subject,
but ahe lis not never for a mo
ment. "You have very pure water In
Portland, exceptionally pure," she
Degan, wnen askea regarding her
opinion of congress. It sounded as
though she was dodging. She was
not. "Water sq pure means that it
comes from a pure source, in the
mountains. A representative in con
gress reflects the character of his
constituents. A community of pure
homes and wholesome surroundings
elects a representative of that sort.
The more pure homes and whole
some 4 communities, there are in

POLICE REPORT DISPUTED
Druggist Claims Honor of Cap
turing Alleged Drug User.
Police reports of the arrest of Ed
ward A. Thornton, Seattle narcotic
user, were not in accord with the
report received at the city hall yes
terday from Tom J. Meyers, one of
the proprietors of Myers Brothers
drug store at Grand avenue and
East Morrison streets.
According to thS police, two in
spectors saw Thornton fleeing down
the street and the inspectors jumped
from the car and made the arrest
On the contrary, according to
Myers, Thornton was chased for
more than a block on Grand avenue
by him, through a lane of police
men, and was captured when a
street car motorman gave aid in the
chase.
"Thornton came into the store and
asked for liniment to ease pain In
his foot," said Myers. "Later 1
found him behind the prescription
counter, and when I questioned him
he darted out of the store. I gave
chase down Grand avenue, and po
lice officials standing by for parade
duty seemed to pay no heed to my
calls for help. The addict was cap
tured through the aid of a street car
man and was turned over to the in
spectors several minutes after he
was caught."

state in which he is widely ac
quainted. During his visit he took
occasion to visit all the Harris
houses on the California circuit in
an effort to accumulate same new
ideas.
Edwin H. Morris, manager of the
San Francisco Hippodrome who has
guided the destinies of the Portland
house during Mr. Ely's vacation, will
return to San Francisco almost at
once to start on his own vacation.
Gratification was voiced yester
day by Eric V. HauseT, president of
the Rose Festival association, for
the splendid co-operatioa givea by
citizens of Portland generally who
contributed to the success of ttte
fete just ended. He said that as a
manifestation of civic spirit. It
could not have been better ex
pressed. "Our festival was a success,
financial and otherwise," said
President Hauser, "and to those
Portland citizens who gave their
time and efforts unselfishly for the
promotion and carrying out of the
enterprise, we have nothing but the
warmest thanks and highest praise.
Without this co-operation, which
was ours In fullest measure, a com
munity undertaking of this char
acter could not well be put over
successfully."
President Hauser did not have
complete figures available aa to the
financial side of the festival, but
these are in process of tabulation
and a complete report will be made
soon.
A new board for carrying out the
Rose Festival of 1923 will be elected
next December, until which time the
festival plans will remain dormant.
What new ideas can be developed
for next year will not be known
until after the 192S management
takes charge.
Capture of prizes by Vancouver,
B. C, San Francisco and Loa An
geles, Cal., in Friday's floral pa
rade assured future participation by
those cities in coming festivals,
says Mr. Hauser. He received in
formation yesterday to that effect
Portland appreciates the entry
of floats by San Francisco, Los An
geles and Vancouver, B. C, and we
did not hesitate to so inform them,"
said Mr. Hauser. "I have messages
from men in all these cities, telling
me that they will be more than
pleased to enter cars in the parades
of future rose festivals."
Tommy Luke, proprietor of
Smith's Flower shop, received tele
grams of congratulations from Van.
couver, San Francisco and Los An
geles, for the manner in which he
decorated entries from these three
cities.
Mayor George Tisdale of Van
couver, B. C, invited Mr. Luke to be
a guest of the city of Vancouver as
the result of the winning of the
sweepstakes prize in the parade.
A. Frank of the Ambassador hotel
staff of Los Angeles and Halsey
Manwaring, manager of the Pal
ace hotel of San Francisco, sent
congratulatory messages to Mr.
Luke for the ingenuity displayed in
so arranging flowers on the entries
of these two establishments as to
win excellent prizes.
