. tlon, one by the Portland Newspaper
' Publishers' association and one by the
United Typothetae. Portland branch."
Membership of the committee will be
completed within a tew . days.
SITUATION IS EXPLAINED
The situation In the printing trade
that faces Portland today was set forth
in the petition presented by Crumpack
er as follows :
That there exists at this time a con
dition In the newspapers and allied
printing trades in the city of Portland
and throughout the country generally,
by reason of which the ultimate ex
haustion of an adequate supply of
competent Journeymen printers is not
unlikely. This condition threatens not
only the future of these institutions,
but the public in general as well. The
public depends to a large extent upon
the newspapers for -the dissemination
of Information and news. The busi
ness interests of this city are also af
fected by reason of the fact they they
, are vitally dependent for their success
,r. upon the commercial printing estab
lishments for use of the products of
- these establishments in their business.
An institution which operates under a
condition by virtue of which prescience
discloses the exhaustion of necessarily
well trained workmen can see only
tkrospectlve ruin.
JOUKNEYMEN TOTAL J7B
There are at the present time in the
city of Portland approximately 378
Journeymen printers employed In the
allied printing trades, including four
newspapers and 65 commercial print
ing establishments. This number meets
the present requirements as to the
, supply of competent men needed in
!, the industry. Under rules and restric
tions Imposed upon this industry, the
number of apprentices employed there-
; In Is held to a minimum amount to the
extent that at the present time there
, are not over 34 apprentices employed
in the newspapers and allied printing
" trades in this city.
'The present opportunities offered for
.training of competent Journeymen in
; this cityare indeed scant. There is
established in connection with the Jef
ferson high school of this city a so
called printing department, which is
inadequately equipped and is generally
recognised as lacking necessary faclli-
. ties and curriculum, as well as compe
tent . Instructors, for the proper train
ing of Journeymen printers. The course
? riven at that institution in the print
ng department is meager and super
... ficial and is not Intended to turn out
men fully equipped as Journeymen
printers.
The only other instruction which is
. offered is in the apprenticeship traln-

OLD GUARD BEGINS

(Continued from Pi One)
who control the New York delegation
do not want Senator Johnson, and they
do not want Hoover. Otherwise they
would not have defeated the efforts of
one or the other to secure friendly dele
gates from isolated districts in the state.
That Is significant. Word comes from
Washington that the "conservative Re
publicans" of the national capital and
the East "were stunned and sobered"
at the Johnson triumph In Michigan.
They do not want him to triumph there,
or in any other state, not at least to
the degree that It would be embarrass
ing to eliminate him at the proper time.
SOUTH STILL SOLID
Uninstructed delegations are very po
tent medicine, particularly when they
are In the hands of practical men who
are not so nervous but that they . can
shut the clamor of favorite sons and
the public out of their ears and proceed
to do business along practical lines.
That Is the kind of men who will lead
the New York delegation of 88 stal
warts to Chicago.
It Is also the sort who will head
Pennsylvania's 76, who, unless Penrose
and his teammates have lost their cun
ning, will also go to Chicago without
instructions. And it Is the sort who
will gather In and direct the' ISO, or
more. Southern delegates, who will, as
usual, be without instructions but will
ing to receive them at the proper time
and from the proper parties.
It has been said previously here that
the old line leaders who will be In con
trol in Chicago are in favor of unin
structed delegations, and, by the same
token, are not very enthusiastic about
those that are tied Up with pledges, ex
cept 6f cours'jthoB . given In ' courlesy
to "favorite On" candidates who bloom
for a roll call. -or two and then merge
and fade into the shadow" of the usual
and carefully groomed "dark horse."
So. from now on until June and con
vention time, the race will be between
the politicians who want and expect ulti
mately to Instruct the convention through
their instructions to. initially unlnstruct-
ed delegations. General Wood, Governor
Lowden, Senator Johnson, Senator Poin-
dexter and Herbert Hoover are each
striving to build up behind his candid
i acy enough instructed votes in the con
vention and popular sentiment out of It j
to force the politicians to instruct their
! uninstructed delegations to .nominate i
j him. That is what the precbnventlon
to. it will be interesting to see which
force wins, and, then, what happens.

POINDEXTER IS "COMING
FOB TOUR OF OREGON
United States Senator Mi lea Polndexter
of Washington will reach Oregon May 6
and remain for a state-wide campaign
tour extending until the day of the pri
mary election. May 21, according to an
nouncement by his state manager, C. L.
Herbsman, this morning.
Howard M. Rice, private secretary to
Senator Poindexter. will reach Spokane
next Monday, and after a few days spent
in Washington will cnm to OrAO-nn tn
assist Mr. Herbsman in the conduct of
me Oregon campaign.
Senator Poinded tAr himself ,.i 1 1 POaAh
wasmngton ADril 20 and remain in ih
state until he comes to Oregon, attending
me republican state convention to be
held at Bellingham April 27. It seems to
be a foregone conclusion thatr the state
convention will instruct its 14 delegates
for Polndexter. But whether it will be
at any time a "last ditch" delegation,
delivered to Polndexter "until released
by him," or whether it will be one given
the power to abandon Poindexter for
some other candidate, in the event his
nomination should appear hopeless to it,
remains to be determined by the Wash
ington state convention.
There has been a good deal of contro
versy concerning that in Washington,
the firm Polndexter 'supporters insisting
that the candidate should retain con
trol of the delegation's vote until he
himself released It while another group
desires that the delegation should be
free to determine for itself when and for
whom it should desert the Washington
candidate, should that eventuality seem
necessary. Word has been sent out from
the Wood headquarters in Seattle that
the Poindexter camp has agreed to the
latter program, but this announcement
has not been confirmed by the Poindex
ter headquarters.
Mr. Herbsman will leave today for
Southern and Southwestern Oregon to
map out the Itinerary of the Poindexter
tour of the state. It Is ihe Intention
to arrange for meetings throughout the
state, including the principal stopping
points m Willamette valley. Southern
and Southwestern, Eastern and Central
Oregon, as completely as possible.
Whether the trip will include interior
points away from the railroad lines de
pends upon the time schedule mapped
out by Mr. Herbsman after looking over
the ground. It is also planned to ar
range for a number of meetings. In Port
land, including one large mass meeting,

BUTLER NOT TO RUN FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE
. The Dalles, April 8. Chauncey D.
Butler, who recently resigned his posi
tlon in the automobile department of the
secretary of state's office, and who was !
looked upon as a likely candidate for the
Republican nomination for secretary of
state at the coming primaries, has de
clared his intention of withdrawing from
the race. Butler is at his home In this
city at present. He is planning on en
tering private business here.
His statement, in part, follows:
"For reasons which seem to me to be
entirely Sufficient. I am constrained to I
refrain from entering the contest for
secretary of state. The fortune of pol-1
itics is so uncertain and the expense of i
a direct primary campaign is quite con
siderable, and Inasmuch as I am not a
rich man and have a family to support,
I feel that I would be better engaged
in a private business than in pursuing,
at this' time, the will o' the wisp. of
politics."
BARTLETT COLE. ATTORNEY,
IN RACE FOR LOWER HOUSE

fices in the Gasco building, has filed his

In his declaration filed with the secre
tary of state Cole, gives his platform
briefly, saying that lf nominated and
elected he will endeavor "to 'give the
state of Oregon honest and Intelligent
wrvice In office with a view to economy
in public expenditures wherever prac- j
tii-able. The ballot slogan adopted by
him Is "Honest Service to Oregon ; Econ
omy in Appropriations When Practical."

mer Lincoln county Judge, who got the

his candidacy for the nomination of

His platform Is, "An equitable assess
ment of timber and all other property."
R. R. Miller, Republican, and Henry
Howell, oounty clerk, Republican, are
candidates for the same office.
HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT CLUB
TO BE ORGANIZED IN SALEM
Salem. April t. Salem supporters of
the "Hoover for president" boom will
form a permanent organization here
Friday night, according to a call is
sued by Paul Wallace, president of the
temporary' organisation formed here
some time ago.
"We. shall urge the nomination oi a
Salem boy for president of the United
States," declared Wallace, in urging all
friends of Hoover to attend the meeting.
W. K. Newell, former state food director
for Oregon, and Charles' Murphy of
Portland will address the meeting.
SII1LLOCK RUNS FOR STATE
SENATE OX WET PLATFORM
Jo'hn n. Shillock. lawyer of Portland,
has- injected a little Irrigation into the
! legislative campaign by. announc
ing his candidacy for the state senate
from Multnomah county on a "light wine
and beer and whiskey tor medicine and
not medicine for whiskey" platform. .'-
Just what it all: means is causing the
politician to sit up and wonder, for Mr.
Shlllocki in ; hi announcement. cornea
right out In the open to declare that '1f
nominated and elected, I will, during my
term ; t office, start propaganda de
claring an open season on the dry s to
the tied that the national and state pro
hibition laws be amended, that light
wines- and beer, whiskey for medicine
and not medicine for whiskey, can be ob-,
tainable; that in 'flu epidemics it will
not be necessary to make nine tenths of
the population criminals."
Mr. Shillock's platform sounds a great
deal like that of Governor Edwards of
New Jersey and it probably means that
should be be sent to the state senate be
will attempt to do what the "light wine
and beer" advocates want done through
out the country, to so amend the Vol
sted act that it will be lawful to manu
facture and sell light wine and beer tin
der federal law and at the same time
to so amend the state law that it will
conform in terms and regulations to the
federal statute
It Is contended that congress has the
power under the federal prohibition
amendment to define intoxicating liquor
in such manner as to permit the manu
facture and sale of light wine and beer
by the simple expedient of raising the
alcoholic content of these beverages high
enough to permit wine and beer to come
within the designation of non-intoxicating
drinks. Lawyers contend, also, that
the prohibition amendment to the state
constitution .would permit the legislature
to follow the same course.
Mr. Shillock's venture will at least be
interesting in that the vote given him
will doubtless demonstrate the popular
approval or disapproval of this program
in Multnomah county.
JOHNSON AND WOOD PLAN
INTENSIVE SPEAKING DRIVES
By H. D, Jacobs
New York. April 8. (U. P.) Senator
Hiram Johnson and Major General
Leonard Wood, leading in the race for
the Republican presidential nomination
on the basis of delegates instructed to
date 'are swinging into drives that will
carry them well Into next month.
Johnson's itinerary already provides
for speeches in New Jersey. Nebraska,
Indiana, Montana and Oregon and pos
sibly California.
Wood will speak in the following
states: Illinois, Massachusetts, Dela
ware, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio,
Indiana and Vermont.
Johnson will complete his New Jer
sey campaign Friday and will leave
immediately for Nebraska, where he
will remain five or six days. From
there he will go either to Indiana or
Montana. At the headquarters here it
was said there was a possibility he
would make two or three speeches In
each state. After his tour of Oregon,
his eastern managers said he "might
drop into California to visit his son in
San Francisco and make one or two in
formal speeches there."
The fight in the California primaries,
which will be held May 4, is betweHi
Johnson and Herbert Hoover. This is
the one state where Hoover's name re
mains on the Republican ballot. The
senator's friends say he is so confident
of receiving the indorsement of his na
tive state that he will make no exten
sive forensic campaign there.
Wood will end his invasion of Gov
ernor Frank O. Lowden's home state
with a speech in Chicago oh Saturday
night.
Lowden was in St. Louis today and
will speak in Chicago tomorrow and
Saturday.
LIST OF CANDIDATES FOR
. STATE SENATE IS FILED
Now that Lent has gone land poli
ticians again may turn from Spiritual to
material pursuits, Multnomah county
legislative candidates' afe hatching their'
candidacies right and left. The senate
list is already full enough to leave no
vacancies, with six men in the race, and
five places to fill. The house candi
dates are not so fast on their political
feet, however, there being " but eight
candidates on the official record at
Salem, as of today, four less than the
number of places on the delegation.
The senatorial candidates are D. C.
Lewis, Walter D. Whitcomb. Isaac
Staples. Gus Erickson, Wilson T. Hume
and John C. Shillock, There are five to
be elected.
The candidates for the house who
have filed so far' are : W. C. North, J.
D. Lee, Leon B. Baketel, Herbert Gor
don, Oren R. Richards, Fred Dale
Weber, K. K. Kubli and -Bartiett Cole.
There are 12 members of the Multnomah
house delegation.
These candidates, however, are ex
pected to be simply the advance guard
of the army which will appear between
now and April IS. the last day upon
which candidates may file their declara
tions and find place on the official bal
lot. There is a good deal of underground
talk to the effect that two rival "busi
ness men's" tickets will be put in the
field before the date for filing is closed.
The fish and gapie fight, and the con
trol of the proposed consolidated pot
and dock commission is mixed up in the
incentive back of the proposed launch
ing of these two tickets. One it is sup
posed will be filled, if It is finally
filed, wjth candidates who will he
friendly to Frank Warren and the pres
ent personnel of the fish and game com
mission as a whole on 'the one hand,
and with Warren, John Burgard
George Kelly and Phil Metschan as
membejs of the Port of Portland com
mission on the other. The second ticket
Is expected to be composed of men who
will not be friendly to this group of
men. either as members of the fish and
game commission or of the . Port of
Portland commission. The program of
the first is expected to be to keep the
present commissioners in power, while
me second would go to Salem with the
idea In the. back of their heads of
"cleaning the slate and getting a new
deal."
These two tickets, if they make their
appearance at all. are expected to be
ready for filing within a week or so.

but are generally credited with leaning
toward Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali

politics. Politicians saw the practical

Social rivalry and competition in ath

been superceded by presidential conten

no emblem but a great stone owl, has
adopted Hoover as its idol, and large
white letters painted on F windows an
nounce that "Room 17 is for Hoover."
House H. traditional rival, has come
out In opposition, but its fight is doomed
to failure, as it has split internally.
Room 5 is strong for McAdoo and Wood,
and room 6 has split within itself to
favor Lowden and Bryan, the latter
candidate being chosen for his perse
verance. "He began running before I
was born." declared the Reed man who
painted the Bryan sign across his win

politics at Reed, but the window signs
are expected in the women's dormitory

tional Hoover Republican club, formed
to take over and direct the campaign
of Herbert Hoover for the Republican
presidential nomination, was launched
here today.
Organization was perfected at a day
and night meeting yesterday at the
home here of Oscar Straus. Represen
tatives of Hoover organizations in 25
states are attending the meeting, it
was announced. The meeting went on
record as favoring Hoover's declaration
of principles contained in his telegram
to the Hoover Republican club of Cal
ifornia. The temporary Hoover club . of New
York, which has been directing the
Hoover movement here, will be merged
with the new organization.
Captain J. F. Lueey, who was asso
ciated with Herbert Hoover in war work
in Europe and who was national chair
man of the temporary Hoover organiza
tion, will remain In charge of New York
headquarters.
While backers of the movement de
clared that to date on one has been defi
nitely considered for the permanent
chairmanship, It was learned that friends
of Hoover are seriously considering ask
ing one or two prominent Republicans
to act in this capacity. The men are
William H. Taft and Charles K. Hughes.
At Hoover's headquarters here, it was
stated emphatically that neither of these
men had been approached on this sub
