There isn't en Ad club man who doesn't get called up at least half a dosen times a day now by candidates for office. lie is asked to pledge his' support to some one for president; somobody else for- secretary, or yet sgaln for membership oh the executive board. There Isn't a member of the Ad club who doesn't feel that the stress of the special and presidential elections Just past were hut a gentle preliminary to the real campaign now waging. At the meeting of the Ad club for luncheon In the Multnomah hotel yes terday tha campaign projected itself through the roll call' and was hinted In the speeches. Phil S. Bates, one of the candidates for president, was consid ered to have scored a hit when he was allowed ter get a friend to say without Interruption, 'Tie will be next presi dent of the Ad club." C. IL Moore, the other leading candidate, had not thought of this campaign stunt, so , contented himself with calling up every Ad man to ask for his support.-- If Moore or Bates are not successful In getting a following large enough for election it is hinted that a dark horse will be pro duced In the person of Frank McCrlllls, who was chairman of the 1911 Paoiflo coast convention committee. Strenuous as is the campaign for the presidency, the contest for the secre taryshln Is worse. Some time ago D. C Manny left at every place a card with his pioture, seriously announcing tnat the Job was "chasing" him. Then came a letter from the auditing committee. saying that W. X. Whltcorrib had put the Ad club oooks in order lor tne iirst time In history, and had earned the election. Immediately followed a letter from P, & Arlett, third candidate to an nounce himself, saying that though Whltcomb bad put the books In order, also he had been paid for the work. Now Manny has come out with a col umn made to look as though It had been clipped from a newspaper wherein he suffers an interview and puts his merits for the Job prominently before the club members. The nominations for office are to be made next Wednesday. Until then the campaign Is expected to get more stren uous, and after that, until the election, a week from Wednesday, to acquire In creased atormlnesa None of the offi ces carry any salary, but tha Ad club has grown to a prominence and Influ ence that makes Its honors highly de sirable.
