1 THE OREGON DAILY- JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY, APRIL 111 .1916.; ft ATTRACTIVE BAIT IS USED IN EFFORTS TO 'HOOK' BEN OLCOH Jackpot to Meet Campaign Expenses One of Allure ments of Governor, et al. NEWSPAPER AID INCLUDED Visaing Km Hot Bn Very Oood to Sate, EowfTir, and Candidacy Issue Seems to Oo Begging. . The active support of 14 newspapers outside of Multnomah county, and a contributed "jackpot" of sufficient ' size to take care of all campaign ex- penses, not to mention the personal ef fort and solicitation of Governor Withycombe and his cabinet, is the bait held out to invitees by Governor Withycombe, Corporation Commission er IL J. Schulderman, Examiner for the Corporation Department J. G. Richard son. Private Secretary G. Palmer Put nam and the rest of the cabinet, when urging prospective candidates to take up the Withycombe standard in bis campaign against Secretary of State Olcott. Support Is Promised. Wbjeh Governor Withycombe . came down to Portland "to put the proposi- , tion up" to W. A. Adams, city treasurer of Portland, in an endeavor to bring him out as a candidate for secretary of state, Mr. Adams was a little dubious :' about getting into the fight without ; knowing who and what was going to get behind him. He wanted 'to take itime to think it over. He did think it over, and as food for thought was told by Withycombe, Schulderman, Richard son, Putnam, and also by Gus C. Moser. that he would be guaranteed the active support of 14 papers scattered through out the state. " This guarantee added a little rosl ness to the picture, but Mr. Adams wanted to know about the campaign ex panf.es. He had only recently gone through one campaign, and campaign ing is expensive business, especially when It Is state-wide suffrage, that is sought. "Jackpot" Is Bait, Too. When that subject was broached dur ing the course of the negotiations, he was assured by Withycombe and his .outriders that a "jackpot" would be raised of sufficient size to take care of the expenses, so that Mr. Adams would not have to spend his own money while bearing the Withycombe banner op the firing line. So far as can be gleaned from the mysteries that surround the operations of the governor and his cabinet, the . secretary of state proposition was first put up to Harvey Wells, insurance commissioner: then to A. L,. Barbur, city auditor of Portland; next to Max . Gellaher, county clerk r of Marion county: then to George Baker city commissioner of Portland; next to Rob I: - ------ -.---- -t-- . m jF J-?v:-:-:-:v5 . - A " - . ft " f " ' I ILJI i a 1 ITlmtSttot I .

Moores who today announced ; his candidacy. . Big- xif f lenities Appear. . Two big difficulties appeared to con front and stay the efforts of the gov ernor and hia advisers in their (cam paign to find an opponent to Olcott. One was- that the movement did not come from the apparent desire of the voters of the state to have Olcott meet with opposition, but only from the per sonal and political antagonism of Gov ernor Withycombe, and Ms desire, as expressed in the petition urging Mr. Moores to run, to have a secretary of state who will not oppose the governor in matters coming before the state board. f The second difficulty seemed to be a pretty general sentiment that it ' is a good thing ' to have someone on the board who will not "stand in" on all occasions. BURTOX IS DUE NEXT WEEK Republican Candidate for Presi dent to Make Fight. Senator Theodore Burton, one of the active candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, will spend all of next week In Oregon in the inter ests of his candidacy.

Bortzmeyer, Sen ator Burton's Oregon manager, the senator will reach Portland Wednesday morning, and will address the noon meeting of the Ad club on that day. He will be the speaker of the evening at Salem Wednesday night, returning to Portland Thursday, when he will ad dress the Progressive Business Men's club at noon. Thursday night a rally will be held under the auspices of the Oregon Republican club. From Port land Mr. Burton will go to eastern Oregon for Friday and Saturday. He will then return to Portland and leave Sunday for a tour of the state of Washington. M'ARTHUR POLICY OPPOSED National Prohibition Question Is Raised as Campaign Issue. The United Evangelical conference held at Ockley Green April 6 to 9 inclusive, in a resolution adopted at the close of the conference con demned the attitude of Congressman McArthur upon the Hobson amend ment for national prohibition. The resolution as adopted is as follows: "We condemn the declaration of Congressman McArthur, who says: 'In "regard to the Hobson amendment for national prohibition, I will not vote for it, nor any other measure of similar import.' We are pledged to national prohibition, and therefore de clare: 'McArthur must be defeated to make way for national prohibition. "Should McArthur. rrom this dry state, be re-elected on a pledge against national prohibition, it would be a national calamity. In justice to ourselves as well as America, we must all stand together and see thts thing through." WILSON ELECTORS FILE Salem, Or., April 11.

Hofmann Discovers His Task Is Simple Search for Autos Among newspaper proprietors Accompanied by an In teresting Revelation. W. J. Hofmann, who was appointed chairman of the committee to secure automobiles from the newspapers to be used in carrying saleswomen over the Columbia river highway next Sunday, is t finding his duties remarkably simple. The Oregonlan has no automobiles. The Telegram has a small machine with big lettering, proclaiming its ownership. .The News has no machine. The Journal has a number of auto- mobiles. But that it may not inflict embarrassment upon less well endowed contemporaries by undue ostentation, It will furnish one large automobile for the occasion. Mr. Hofmann's report will be short.

Spirit makes a city. It is more than riches, more than tall buildings, more than factories. These, maeea, may be but the expression of the spirit of a city's people. Thus testified Hugh Chalmers, often called the nation's greatest salesman, while In Portland yesterday. "If the people of this good city, Port land, have the right -spirit," said he, h " . ?

To those whose idea of business Is to make the maximum amount of money j in the minimum amount of time he gave this advice: "There is one thing above dollars in business that thing is service." He stressed the need of training and supervision for workers. He de clared that never would he hire a man he couldn't fire. He declared that the man who brings the greatest number of letters of recommendation fre quently needs them most. "Don't hire your wife's relatives. Don't hire those whose claims on Jobs are not based on what they can produce and on the work they can do." - t Advertising Is Explained. cnaimers Drigntenea nis philosophy witn anecdote and spiced it with epi- gram. n "au me ur5s to aaa me moral He glanced outside at the gentle drizzle which preceded the clearing skies of today, and he said: "I have Just come from California. They have Only two itinds of weather there tine and unusual. I am glad you admit Portland has an occasional rainy day. Telling the facts Is an obligation of advertising, whether you advertise your town or your business. "Advertising does not create value; it tells of it. "In advertising be honest, be sensi ble, be persistent. "The chief factors in distribution are advertising and salesmanship. Ad vertising salesmanship plus publicity. Salesmanship is advertising plus getting- the order signed. "Every business man is an adver tiser whether he admits it or not. Our manners, our clothes, our appearance, our speech, everything that we do or say advertises us and we cannot deny it. Since you sive to advertise, why not do it right? Newspapers Best Mediums. "I am frequently asked what are the best mediums for adertisiag. Of course, that depends somewhat upon what you are going to sell. X thTnk on the whole, that newspapers are the best advertising mediums, because peo ple buy newspapers to read the news and they stumble into the advertis ing. "My definition of a real salesman is a man who can sell anything to any body who speaks that same language that he does. "There is only one aristocracy In this country the aristocracy of brains and decency." "Every young man should grow up with a business and should develop step by step, but, unfortunately, some men grow while others svell." "The man who coined the phrase, Always on the job" did a good day's work." Must Have Enthusiasm. "Sincerity is that quality which not only makes friends but holds them. A man cannot be insincere without injury to himself." "A man must have enthusiasm. Tou will find the sapphire has a thousand glittering little lights which you can not get out of the blue glass in a thou sand years. What these little lights are to the sapphire, enthusiasm is to the man." The epigrams of business efficiency quoted are made to apply as much to private business as to the business of building a city. The expressions are lifted from a speech before -the mem bers council of the Chamber of Com merce, and are truly characteristic of the man. Chalmers believes that the same qualities are needed for success in the community's business that are utilized in advancing personal business. He says that in both lines, too often, wo profess to send by express when really we ship by freight. "We repeat the expression, 'oppor tunity knocks once at every man's door,' when as a matter of fact oppor tunity is always knocking but in many cases there Is nobqdy home."
