THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND,' TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1918. V1THYC0MBE COHORTS MAY GET MOORES TO OPPOSE. BEN OLCOTT Wells First Considered, Then Stevens, Who Declined; W, , L, Adams Next. OLD LINERS PERTURBED Oe Tenor's rpttewsrs BsUsrsSssretary Oettlag- Too Xuen -rregtUre, Others ns wast Xixn Cleaned Oat. - Charles B. Moora, chairman of the Republican state central committee, la 'the latest probable candidate for secre tary of state. Mr. Moores says that he has bean asked to make the race, and that he Is considering: the advisability of his doing- so, but that he has not yet finally determined whether to set Into the battle or to stay out. i A great effort Is being made to in dues some one to run against wen w. -Olcott, present secretary of state. Gov ernor Withycombe and his administra tive forces are busy hunting the woods for some one who will get out and carry the administration banner. For a long time Harvey Wells was 'groomed for, the contest, but after Rooking over the field. Wells decided he did not desire to submit himself to the Strain, and Is now out of the running. They Oould JTot X. Then an attempt was made to per suade B. L. Stevens to become a can didate. Stevens did not take kindly to the idea and announced that he was Intending to run for sheriff of Mult ncmah county. W. A. Adams wafc the next prospett. He was promised that if he would get Into the fight his campaign would be .well financed, and that he would oe 'given a campaign leader in every coun ty -of the state selected from among . the prominent leaders of each county. He decided, however, that he would 'rather run for state treasurer two years from now. - Phil Metschan Jr. was next besieged, and is still under fire. But Mr. Mets chan believes that he hears the call of Tils business more distinctly than the 'call of candidacy, and so is not going to take-the plunge. Old Users Ars Worried. The spirits of the old liners, headed by Governor Wlthycombe and the mem bers of his cabinet, are much perturbed because of the indications that Olcott may go on the ballot without opposl- , to such a pass it would give Olcott .too much prestige. t Those who are not actuated by the . desire of the governor to have a work- tnr Viarmnnv nn Vi .tat. knaM tnr th. purpose of political appointments and .removals, want to see some one go out-and clean Olcott up on general old - lne political principles. They are mak ing1 the promise that all hope is not yet lost and that a candidate will ap pear before the time for filing closes on April 14. If-.i.' TT Society Is Success Hundreds of men attended the meeting under the auspices of the ' Oregon Social .Hygiene society at -Lent last night. Applause frequent ly greeted the remarks of Dr. Calvin ;S. White. Dr. William T. Foster. Dis trict Attorney Walter H. Evans, S. L. Eddy, who spoke, and H. A. Damall, who presided. "Parents," declared Dr. White, "may well show concern when young men would take their fair daughters to adjoining states to he married when the marriage laws of such states are more lax when com pared to those of Oregon. "Asphalt-base" best: 'SSa U.S. Gov. experts report that ofls madefron asphalt-base crude "distill without decomposition'9 (do not break up and lose their lubricating value under cylinder heat), and "are much better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon-forming proclivities arc concerned. than par af fine-base Pennsylvania oils." The following extracts of letters from Pacific Coast motor ists (typical of hundreds we have received) show the practical experience of all those who use ,rfe& WW: bee. I War a Mistake, It Should End, Writes Harden German Censor Passes Article by Noted Statesman Saying Error Was Hade by AIL London, April 4. (X. N. S.) A re markable article by Maximilian Harden, appealing for, an immediate peace, lappears in Die Zukunft, accord ing to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Express. It is especially inter esting as it has been passed for pub lication by the Berlin military censors. Harden writes: "In spite of almost uncountable vic tories, in spite of the fact that our land is free from the enemies' armies and that we are occupying a big con quered area, we think that war is a cruel misfortune, the recurrence of which must be prevented by all pos sible means. Let us come to the con clusion that the war was a mistake, made not by on but by all. Let us end It and organize peace." MILITIA UNFIT, CLAIM BORAH AND LODGE DEBATING ARMY BILL History of Militia Is One of Disaster; Lodge Speaks for Universal Service, Washington, April 4.i (I. N. S.) Denunciation of the proposed expendi ture of from 160,000,000 to 76,000.000 annually on the militia was voiced from the floor of the senate here today by United States Senator Borah. "The history of the militia, from the Revolutionary war up to now," he said, "is a story of disaster, defeat and hu miliation. The people are going to de mand more substantial preparedness for their money. We must make every dollar count. We cannot do that by putting 300,000 civilians on the federal payroll." Borah recited the record of the mili tia on strike duty, particularly the mi litia of West Virginia, as evidence of unfitness for service. Party lines were obliterated in the debate. The Republicans, with Sena tor Borah leading, aligned themselves with a faction of the Democrats in an -effort to defeat the house army bill. "The Hay bill as it came from the house," said Senator Lodge, "is prac tically worthless. The senate bill is excellent as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. We ought to have a regular army of XBO.OOO peace strength. I believe in universal mili tary training and the country must come to it some day. Senator Lodge furnished figures in tended to show that during the Spanish-American war 25 per cent of the militiamen were rejected after physi cal examination and that many of the remainder failed to volunteer.
