Democrats will stand "firmly and
triumphantly on their record
pot upon promises, but upon
monumental things accomplished,"
Champ Clark, speaker ot the
house, here tonight, fired his
party's opening gun in the com
ing campaign to reelect a Demo
cratic congress.
The recent speech of Republican Floor
Leader GMett In New York Indicates
that the "Republicans are preparing to
amM.ult.6ur PB!tlonJAlLjtoe the lln
and that -we must fight to win," he do
clared. -
. Clark aald the real fight m, the com
Ihic election will be to gain control of
the house. .Although 3S senators must
be elected, he expressed the opinion
that there Is no chance for the Re
publicans to win there.
Baek Vp President Is His Plea
Upholding; loyally the record of his
me-tlme rival for the presidency, Clark
appealed for a Democratic house bo as
to provide the "best possible teamwork
In this, titanic struggle."
"Why should the American voters
inject discord into the varlou3 parts of
the governmental machinery, when the
utmost harmony should prevail In this
awful crisis of our affairs Indeed, of
the whole world's affairs when repre
sentative Kovernment Is at stake? I do
not believe they will be so unwise, and
I confidently expect that the next housu
will be Democratic, to' back up a Demo
cratic administration In the most tu
nendous tank ever undertaken."
Clark then tecited the achievements
. of the- Democratic congress, mentioning
the tariff, the Income tax, which he pre
dicted is here to stay "as the fairest tax
ever levied." the federal reserve bank,
which has done away with panics ; the
farm loan banks, the opening up of
' Alaskan resources, the federal trade
commission bill and the shipping board,
. besides the necessary war legislation.
' Money for War Ii Coining
"In four brief years we placed upon
' the statute hooks more constructive leg
islation than the Republicans enacted In
two .decades," the speaker said. "Before
we got In. the Republicans cried loudly
i we do nothing... Now they wildly vocif
erate we are doing too much. This is a
1 magnificent record, which anybody,
nave a stark idiot can easily and suc-
cessfully defend. Upon that unequalled
record we confidently appeal to the
grand inquest of the nation In the com
ing campaign."
' In view of the coming revenue bill,
.Clark's remarks on war finances were
regarded as significant
"One thing cocksure congress is
: going to dig up money enough to con
! duct this war," he said ; "if not by
I elling bonds, then by increasing taxes.
'No legislator likes to provide for levy
ing greater taxes.
Stay-at-Homes Mast Pay
! "We are the richest nation in the
world, our wealth being estimated at
1200,004,000.000, and the percentage in
wur favor 13 constantly Increasing.
Surely, If our young men are willing
to risk their lives on the battle fields,
we at home should be glad to pay the
. necessary taxes.
. "Congress believes It Is complying
faithfully and patriotically with the de
sires of the American people by mak
ing It certain that every dollar needed
for this war ia waiting to do its work."
Admitting that it would be well. If all
politics could be wiped out during the
war, . the speaker declared that "signs
multiply indicating that the usual meth
. od will be pursued except in exceptional
cases.
'Tor years and years those who love
us not volubly and vehemently aaserted
' thatw Democrats were a party of nega-
tlon, merely that and nothing more; that
we did not have sense enough to legls
; i late," Clark said.
Standing by Record
"They admitted cautiously and reluc-
! tantjy that In the days of Thomas Jef
1 rerson and Andrew Jackson we did
I something notable, but they sneerlngly
'declared modern Democrats were ut
terly destitute of constructive states

.Spicial Services Flowers to Be
?Wdr$ Red for Living Mother,
White in Memory of Others.
Washington, May 11. (I. N. S.) Pres
ident Wilson and the entire government
rendered - homage tonight to American
mothers on the even of "Mothers' Day."
The following statement was issued to
night from the White House:
"I take the liberty of calling special
attention to the fact that this is Moth
ers' 'Day, and I take advantage of the
occasion to suggest that during this day
our attention be directed particularly to
the patriotic sacrifices which are being
so freely and generously made by the
mothers of our land In unselfishly offer
ing their sons to bear arms and, if need
be, to die in defense of liberty and jus
tice, and that we especially remember
these mothers in our prayers, praying
God for his divine blessing upon them
and upon their sons, whose whole-hearted
service is now given to the country
(Signed.) "WOODROW WILSON."
Flowers worn by hundreds of Port
land people today signify the observ
ance of Mother's day, and in honor of
mothers, church services this morning
are to be given over largely to special
programs and sermons suited to the oc
casion. Advices from Camp Lewis and
other army centers indicate plans for
special observance of the day among
soldiers.
Mother's day originated 11 years ago
In Philadelphia and its observance today
will be nation wide. Four years ago
President Wilson, acting upon congres
sional resolution, proclaimed the second
Sunday in May as Mother's day. Cus
tom has adopted red flowers as signlfl
cant of a living mother and white ones
are worn In memory of mothers.
Some of the Portland phurches today
will give flowers to all who attend spe
cial services and plans for the entertain
ment of mothers in several congrega
tions have been made.
Wheat Hoarders Are
Being Rounded Up
Washington, May 11. (U. P.) The
"smoking out" of every bushel of the
1917 wheat crop is going full blast. Re
ports coming to the food administration
here indicate that in some states there
is not a bushel of surplus wheat left.
In other states hoarders pro-German
and other wheat slackers are being
rapidly rounded up.
General - commandeering of wheat
from Washington is unlikely, since state
administrators are taking the matter
into their own hands.
It is known that officials here are
well acquainted with the marketing of
wheat receipts having Increased slight
ly after the final defeat of $2.50 wheat
which was at the bottom of much
hoarding.

Baker Wants Wool
Sold in Portland
Baker, Or., May 11. A strong protest
was registered today by many Baker
woolgrowers against local wool men sell
Ing their" clips to eastern wool hnn
The local wool men believe that It is to
the advantage of Oregon wool growers
to market their wool in Portland which
they say is fast becoming the biggest

The liberal terms that
fered local wool growers by the Port
land wool handling concerns and th ad
vantage of building up an industry that
meana the greatest benefit to local wool
growers is causing wool men here who
are familiar with the situation to re
quest that Oregon wool growers send
their product where It will, help build
up Oregon and Its interests. 'The mnv.
ment here to have Baker wool growers

market was started after it was

Predictions Are That Enemy Will
Suddenly Renew Campaign or
Perhaps Switch, the Force
Suddenly to Front in France.
By Henry Wood
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
N THE FIELD, May 11. (U.
P.) Indications of Austrian re
organization and offensive prep
arations on the Italian front
have been daily apparent since
the inspired announcement by
the entire German and Austrian
press that an offensive against
Italy was impending, according
to information from that theatre.
The Austrians have Inaugurated a
series of raids and reconnaissances,
auch as usually are the prelude to an
offensive. The Austrian high command
apparently has reorganised its .entire
armies on the Italian front, dividing
Its armies Into two groups, each of
which ia commanded separately.
The effective divisions on that front,
which were allowed to decrease during
the winter, have been reinforced- The
number of companies has been in
creased and the artillery, has been
fUled out.'
Allied military officials, however, rec
ognlsa that this new military concen
tration could easily be thrown against
the, 'French and British. '
Reports from th Macedonian front
stat - that " the Franco-British! forces,
after "a winter of Inactivity, have cap
tared' several villagea during the pasl
month.' Tha Macedonian front is now i
held exclusively by Bulgarians, tha
German divisions formerly there having
been ' transferred to the French front
tind to Asia Minor, -
German officers, however, are stui
in charg of the Bulgarian artillery J
and Austrian units and the entire army
appear to be acting under orders of
the German imperial staff.

Monte Co mo Thursday night and took

Mr. and Mrs. U. A. Kyle, now a lieu-

according to word received by Mrs.
Kyle. Lieutenant Klye. who is a
former Jefferson high school student,
went abroad as a member of th
Stanford university unit of the Ameri

French aviation.
Since he became an airman Kyi has
participated in a number of daring
actions. Including a bombing expedition
over Ludwlngshafen several months
ago which he ' subsequently described
in a news letter in The Sunday Journal.
"The present battle In which we are
engaged (meaning, the French resist
ance to the German drive begun March

bigger than Verdun," writes Lieutenant
Kyle .under date of April 6.

PLANS MADE TO
RESTORE UPPER
RIVER TRAFFIC
Open River Association Makes
Loan to Start Steamers; String
of Barges for Wheat Is One
of the Schemes Proposed.
Because farmers and merchants to
whom th upper Columbia .river la ac
cessible hav a deep rooted desire to
see th river come into It own, and bo
cause they believe that th future of
Portland and much of th success of
th great Inland Km pi re is dependent
upon what is made of the Columbia
river, the Open River association, noted
for Its good works, la father of a plan
to restore traffic to tha upper river at
one.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of th Open River association.
held In Portland Saturday, a loan of
12000 was voted to get a new 11 n
started under eotn of th beat known
steamboat men who hav operated on
the river. The association has spent
much money in the pt for upper
river Improvement, looking always to
the aid such a thing would be to Port
land, and th fund appropriated Satur
day la part of th balance.
Seow Trala Proposed for Wheat
Under th proposed arrangement th
stern wheeler. Twin Cities, will start as
soon as affairs caa be arranged, on a
weekly schedul between Portland and
Lawiaton. drawing trad from th entire
Inland Empire. If ouslnea warrants
furthers enture, additional steamers will
b put on th run. and during th wheat
harvest season every effort win be mad
to establish, a scow train for hauling
wheat in bulk.
. Th Important feature of th meeting
Saturday waa th determination of mem
bers of the association to help wher
ever posslbl In winning th war. by re
lieving th railroad congestion and
through river trafflo to release much
needed cars for other work. President
J. A. Smith of th Open River associa
tion made an especially strong pica to
this end. President Smith presided St
the meeting and Judge William J. Mari

every Indication, avccordlna; to Presi.lont
Smith, is that th Twin CI tie will oper

any rata, a thorough campaign for th
support of all shippers between Portland
