Oregon City, Or., June 7. "Chau tauqua Day" Is to be a new feature at the 1916 session of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua which opens at Gladstone Park July 7 for a 13-day session. During the 23 years of Chautauo.ua life at Gladstone there have been if'.x j presidents of the assembly and an ef j fort will be made to have all six of I them on the platform at 11 o'clock Ion the morning of July 14. The Chau tauqua presidents, beginning with 1893, were as follows: Rev. Oilman Parker of Washington, Col. Robert A. Miller, Portland; Con gressman Hawley, Washington, D. C; ' J. H. Ackerman, Monmouth, and Dr. Fletcher Homan, formerly of Willa mette university, and C. H. Dye of Oregon City.

A terrific bom bardment followed the assaults, but the French refused to give ground. "German artillery." says the com munique, "was In continuous action yesterday In the Caurette woods and against Hill No. 304. "The Germans are using their artil- ery in the Hartmannsweilerkopf sector. This is believed to presage infantry attacks." HUGHES SUPPORTERS COUN T 418 VOTES AS THEIRS; JUST 75 SHY OREGON DELEGAT ON MAY LOSE HONOR 0 F NOMINATING HUGHES Will Probably Fall to Gov, Whitman From Candidate's State, Who Needs Prestige. Hy Carl Smith. Chicago. 111., June 6. While former Senator Fulton continues to cherish hope of nominating Hughes, claims of the Oregon delegation for this honor are considered certain to be stfopt aside in favor of Governor Whitman, who not only comes from Hughes" state, but needs all the pres tige he can gather in his fight with Barnes for control of New York state politics. Fulton will be allowed the conso lation prize of a seconding speech. The meeting of Hushes delegates on call of the Oregon men yesterday brought out practically the same crowd as the day before. Talks were made by Fpencer and Carey, of Oregon; State Chairman Tanner and former Con gressmen Calder and Douglas, of New York; Governor Beeckman, of Rhode Island, and Dr. Tanner, colored, dele gate from Georgia. The distribution of Hughes badges waj begun at this meeting, their first appearance. En couraging reports came from several states and Oregon delegates are grow ing stronger in the conviction they picked a winner. Rome believe Ije will win on the first ballot. Charley Look wood, who started as a favorite son in the presidential race in Oregon, but withdrew, and William Grant. Webster, Indorsed for vice pres ident, had their heads together at the fjherman hotel today.

OPPONENTS ARE DIVIDED Harding Boomers Working Secretly but Actively; Old CHuurd Bring Tip Their Heavy Artillery Agalast Kufaes. By James J. Montague. Chicago, 111. June 6. (I. N. S.) On the et'e of the Republican national convention, which went into action at 10 o'clock this morning, the sup porters of Justice Charles E. llughes counted 418 votes which they as serted will be cast for him not later than the second ballot. The votes come from 37 states. They are 75 short of the number he will require before he can become the candidate of the convention. The Hughes candidacy has now two hurdles to tafcs before it can succeed. Two Bardies to Be Jampsa. First Seventy-five Republican dele gates must be convinced either that the plain determination of the Prog ressives to nominate Roosevelt is a bluff, or that Roosevelt's nomination will make no difference. Second Seventy-five delegates must stand firm against the earnest per suasion of the old guard leaders to unite on another candidate, probably Warren G. Harding of Ohio, and James W. Wadsworth of New York as candidates who can unite both 'fac tions of the party to their suport. Battling" to Stop Hughes. The battle to stop Hughes is deter mined, but divided. His Progressive opponents, In an extremely heroic mood, met yesterday in the Flor entine room of the Congress hotel, the birthplace of their party, and loudly declared their determination to nomi nate Theodore Roosevelt without the aid or consent of any other party on earth. it was a bigger meeting than the one which brought the Progressive movement into being. It will require more than ersuasior. to bring these men to consent to Hughes. The more conservative of the Progressive leaders have almost de spaired of such an outcome. Harding Boomers Work Secretly. The Harding m&vement was con ducted in secret chambers and behind heavily bolted doors. But It continued actively throughout the day. Alarmed by the strength of the Hughes forces.

Word has gone out to bring- In all the boys who sre regular and talk tur key to them. The watchword is this: "These longhora Progressives axe going to run out on us anyway. Per kins can't stop tbam. Neither can any one else. W don't want Hughes, and as long as we can't bring the Progres sives into camp with him, we might as well name a stronger man. Go out and boost for Harding." Htuneroos Conferences Are XeUU Conferences were held all day. across the border and within factional fam ilies. Few of them sot anywhere. Senators Lodge. Smoot, Crane and Penrose represented the Old Guard, to gether with the astute bretherh -from Indiana, who positively refused to go home without some kind of a nomina tion for Charles Fairbanks. With these gentlemen Mr. Perkins and others of the conservative Pro gressives talked and talked and talked, but nothing resulted in the way of a plan to promote unanimity of opinion. Meanwhile, the Hughes people were doing some very busy recruiting and reported some progreSs. Hitchcock as a Salter Thrower. Frank 11. Hitchcock, whose services in behalf cf Hughes once threatened to upset the Hughes beans, was the most prominent halter thrower in .the com pany. While he was extremely con servative about announcing states dele gations, he said that at least 100 dele gates had been brought in to the corral during the day. He was confident that the convention will be all over after the third ballot, as far as the presi dency is concerned. The Oregon invitation party for Hughes delegates did not pan out heavily. But two delegates were added to the five that showed the day before. There was some Bpeechmaking and after the meeting the delegates all over the hotel lobbies broke out with red and gold Hughes banners which had been supplied them. Senator Borah sent word that he was too busy working for Hughes to come over. But Governor Reek man of Rhode Island mads a little talk, and what the meeting lacked In attendance it made up in enthusiastic cheering. Incidentally, the first indication of any olive branch stuff from the Re publicans came In the announcement of Edward J. Brennan of Hudson county, N J., that he had a resolution for an all cross border conference. The Brennan resolution, which the New Jersey dele gation wants the convention to adopt, declares that the Republicans and Pro gressives ought to get together on candidates and platforms and calls for a conference committee. ProgrsssiTSB in Argresslvs Mood. In the present mood of the Pro gressives the nomination of Roosevelt will be over and done with long be fore any such resolution can even be voted upon. The most significant and by far the most exciting feature of the day was the Florentine room meeting of the Progressives. Victor Murdock presid ed and among the speakers were "Hi" Johnson, governor of California. Wil liam Allen White and John B. Parker Of California. It was the sense of the meeting that it would be utterly foolish for the Pro gressives to attempt any deal, dicker, trade or bargain with' the Republicans, inasmuch as they represent one thing and the Republicans something else again. Oratory of Reverberating Character. The oratory was of the old rever berating character that tested the echoes of the same room four years ago. And unless some curb can be placed on the temper of those present and they constituted a majority of the Pro gressive delegates a third party move ment will be established within the week. It was rumored during the day that the colonel had been prevailed upon to come himself to Chicago to check the rampantness of his followers, but this was absolutely denied by the Progress ive leaders. Another story that the colonel was about to issue a state ment that he would not make any trouble about the candidate if the t platform was all right, could not be , veririea. Will So as Thegr Fleas. One thing is certain. The Progress ives are now determined to do exactly as jthey please, irrespective of what ! the colonel may do. They will nomi ! nate him, bar a miracle, and leave it up to him whether he will run or not. from the Pripet marshes to PrutK. in the Bessarablan region, critics believe.

OBorarp ohipper Impossible To Get So Much Motor Car Value For The Momey W FIND thn is the attitude of many people who come into our salesroom before they know anything about the MaxwelL Not until the Maxwell is shown and demon strated to them until they sit in it and examine the finish until they ride in it or perhaps not until they drive it themselves, do they realize what a tremendous value is offered in the Maxwell car. It is notNunusual that Maxwell value should not be known to everyone, because it is uncom mon to find such a car for a good margin more than the Maxwell price. The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly competitive iield, for the amount of value it offers for the price. Appearance -The lines of the Maxwell are decidedly attractive. There is no break in the contour from the radiator to the back of the car. The fenders are gracefully shaped. AD metal parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol stery is deep and well-finished. From any angle it is a car that the owner can be proud of. Motor The engine in the Maxwell car is not equalled by any other four-cylinder engine of its size. And we know of larger and more expensive cars that have less able power plants. The Max ' well engine carries its load through mud and sand or over the steepest grades without a falter. Quality The materials in the Maxwell car are the best that can be bought and the workman ship that turns them into finished parts is no less excellent, It is only the large production of the Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put such quality of materials' and workmanship into a car selling at the Maxwell price. Economy With its other attractive feature, the Maxwell is a most economical car to own. Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And the car is so durably built that repair expense is negligible. We are sure yon want a car such as we have described the Maxwell to be. If you will give us a few minntrs of your tone we are sore we can convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep tional value. Come in today. Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 F. O. B. DETROIT C. L.
