With Judge C. W. Howard of Bel
lingham as temporary chairman, the
state "Republican convention assembled
this morning at the Armory here to
indorse the candidacy of United States
Senator Miles Poindexter "for presi
dent. While the exact wording of the
indorsement threatened some difficulty,
this will be smoothed out. It is be-
' lieved, before the afternoon session
when it is brought to a vote.
The original, intention was to haSre
the resolution read that the 14 dele
gates from Washington at the Chicagqr
convention should cast their ballots for
Poindexter as long as it appears that
he- has a ' chance at the nomination,
when they would be free to ballot for
another candidate. With Senator Poin

group of ardent supporters sought to
change the lesolution to read that the
delegates be instructed to ballot fos.

The latter phrasing is not satisfactory
" to the supporters of General Wood, who

RIVAL TO JOINT DEBATE
John E. Culllson, candidate for the
Republican nomination as sheriff of
Multnomah county,, has thrown down
the gage of battle at the feet of Thomas
M. Hurlburt by challenging him to Joint
debate. In a statement prepared by
Captain Culllson, he Issues a public
challenge to Hurlburt to meet him at
"any time or place in the city of Port
land preceding the primary election" to
"attempt a defense of his action in ac
cepting compensation" from the govern-
I ment as chairman of the local draft
board during the war. Cullison's state
ment Is as follows :
Whereas, the Oregonlan and other
newspapers have denounced the accept
ance of compensation from the govern-
ment for services rendered as members
of draft boards by those whose neces
sities did not make it imperatively nec
essary to do so and where members of
such boards could, without dispropor
tionate loss and hardship and with jus
tice to their families and themselves,
have declined compensation ; and.
wnereas, the president of the United
States, by proclamation in section 193
of the selective service regulations re
garding gratuitous services, said,
Wherever members of local and district
boards feel that they can, with justice
to their families and themselves, decline
compensation for their services, the gov
ernment win grateruiiy accept their
patriotic tender " : and.
Whereas, Thomas M. Hurlburt, sher
iff of Multnomah county, did accept
from the government compensation at
the rate of $7.50 per day for services
rendered as chairman of the local draft
board of Multnomah county, while also
drawing his full pay of 14500 per annum
fs sheriff of said county during his
third consecutive term and when he
could, without hardship to himself or
family, have rendered gratuitous, patri
otic service to hiB country in time of
war.
Now, therefore, I. John El Culllson.
former draft executive and disbursing
officer and agent of the United States
in Oregon, snd now a candidate for the
office of sheriff of Multnomah county,
do hereby nublicly challenge the said
Thomas M. Hurlburt to a joint debate
at any time or Dlace in the citv of Port
land, preceding the primary election, to
be held May .21, and dare him to at
tempt a defense of his action in ac
cepting the above compensation for d
termininar the fates of the young: men
conscripted by the local draft board, of
which he was the chairman.
OHIO VOTE TO BE TEST FOR
HARDING AS FAVORITE SON
Washington. April 27. (WASHING-
ITON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The primaries in Ohio today will be the
supreme test for Harding. He has ent
ered his name In the primaries in only
two states, Ohio and Indiana. In Ohio
his home, he must show how much of a
favorite he is. He has been likened to
McKinley in temperament, but has he
the McKinley vote-getting qualities?
He Is challenged at home by General
Wood, just as Governor Lowden was '
challenged in Illinois. The organization
is for him, and the Republican county
press, but the big Ohio papers are luke
warm or else are out for Wood. The
general's campaign manager, William
Cooper Procter, is from Cincinnati, and
the most of the old Bull Moose leaders
are backing Wood, headed by James R.
Garfield. Daniel 41. Hanna and Sherman
H. Kagla.
Eagle has recalled Harding's bitter
ness toward Roosevelt in 1912, at which
time Harding's paper declared that
Roosevelt bore a closer resemblance to
Aaron Burr than to any other American
in history. Wood has had big meetings
in the state. Johnson has stayed out as
a courtesy to Harding, and a working
agreement between the two senators is
Indicated.
Politicians generally hold that a fav
orite son is required to do more than
carry his home state in order to make a
satisfactory showlnv. If he cannot tv11
per cent, and preferably 70 per cent of
j his home vote, it is evident that he is
not a tremendous favorite at home. It
I .vas by this measure that Lowden failed
j to make a - good showing in Illinois,
I since he polled only 53 per cent of the
j vote, and seemingly lost a dosen or more
delegates. 8o the Ohio vote will be as-
sentlally a test for Harding. Anything
wood gama. he la that much to the good.
It is not expected that be will win a ma
jority, and interest is centered In the
division between himself and Harding.
SMITH BOOM LAUNCHED TO
HEAD OFF MTADOO DC N. Y
'(By t?ntti NewV)
New York, April 27. Up-state Demo
crats are about to elevate a boom for
Governor Smith as the New York
Democracy's candidate for president at
Kan Francisco.
It is believed that the movement is
designed to place Smith in central of the
delegation rather than to seriously run
him for the nomination. Some of the
leaders involved In . the '"boom" admit
that It Is designed primarily as a notice
to some candidates to "keep hands off
the New York delegates.
Smith and Charles Murphy, chief of
the Tammany wigwam, are for Governor
Cox of Ohio or Governor Edwards of
New J ersey. conceding, however, that
the latter's candidacy is rtally merely a
contest In behalf of certain convictions
against ; the prohibition, amendment
Both Smith and Murphy art aJd by
Democratic leaders to be opposed to the
belief of many of the New York dele
gates that , W. O. MoAdoo should be
nominated. The Smith boom Is expected
te be definitely launched, next Wednes
day at Albany.
BECK WITH TO BE MANAGER
FOR MYERS IN CAMPAIGN
John A. Beck with, who recently re
tired as secretary of the Portland post
of the American Legion, has volun
teered for duration of the campaign as
managers of Stanley Myers' candi
dacy for ,the Republican nomination as
district attorney of Multnomah county.
Headquarters have been opened at
room 503 Fen ton building, from which
Heckwith will conduct the Myers
offensive against Walter H. Evans,
who is the opposing candidate for the
nomination.
"I am glad to be able to assist Stan
ley Myers in his campaign for nomi
nation," Beckwith says in a statement
issued by him.
"Stanley Myers has made a good rec
ord as deputy city attorney and is en
titled to promotion. He Is to be com
mended In his ambition for betterment
of his position. He has held the office
eight years and should aspire to a
higher : office. He surely should not
expect to hold this office longer.
"He is an energetic, experienced
lawyer. He has the ability to succeed,
and, knowing that, he left his family
and served in the United States army
during the war, feeling confident that
he would not thereby lose his start in
the legal profession.
"The primary election date is May
21, and during the next three weeks I
hope all friends of Stanley Myers will
lend a hand and urge his candidacy
whenever possible.
"A 'Myers for district attorney' club
Is being organized, and already has a
large membership.

SWEENEY INDORSED
FOR CONGRESS BY
ORGANIZED LABOR
Thomas A. Sweeney, candidate for
the Republican nomination as con
gressman from the Third district,
was indorsed by the general conven
tion of organized labor representa
tives held Monday evening at Brick
layers' hall, Fourth and Madison
streets.
The convention was composed of dele
gates from all of the union organisa
tions in Multnomah county, including
the railroad brotherhoods. It had been
called for the purpose of hearing the
report of an executive committee of five
men appointed some time ago to inves
tigate and make recommendations as
to the Indorsement of a congressional
candidate from this district.
This commitee recommended the in
dorsement of Sweeney's candidacy and
the report was adopted by unanimous
vote of the convention. Following the
action of the convention Sweeney was
called before the convention and thanked
it for its indorsement.
"I want to thank you for your indorse
ment, especially for the reason It has
oome to me' without obligation on my
part," Sweeney said.
"1 believe the civilization that we en
joy has been achieved by going for
ward rather than standing pat : by fore
sight rather than hindsight ; that human
rights are more sacred than property
rights ; that both should be protected by
honest laws enforced by honest men.
"1 believe social and political justice
is not Impossible, and is worthy the
concentrated effort of all those who de
mand a square deal and are willing to
give it to others, and so we stand for a
nobler America, an undivided nation, a
broader liberty and a fuller justice and
we battle for actual rights of men and
women of the nation."

(Continued from Pax Ob)
under investigation, and sufficient rea
sons have not been given here to pre
vent issuance of the subpoenas."
The only pertinent question. Judge
Bean said, was whether or not the sub
poena was too sweeping in the amount
of stuff requested to be reasonable. By
the nature of the inquiry, and in the
light of rulings made by Federal Judge
Neterer on similar cases now pending
in Seattle, the court explained, the re
quest seemed proper.
Commenting on the charge of the at
torneys for the defendants that the ,all
embracing nature of the request for rec
ords put it beyond the class of what is
known as a duces tecum action, in
which specific articles must be named
for presentation to the inquiring court.
Judge Bean said that unreasonable seiz
ure did not result from the government's
Investigation of the transactions in ques
tion. EXCEPTION FOB APPEAL
An exception, on which an appeal
may be based, was taken to the ruling-
by Thompson.
"We have no j disposition to be un
reasonable In this matter, said United
States Attorney Humphreys,- comment-
ing on the ruling afterward. "The
government appreciates that the yards
have important business enterprises
pending, and they will be put to no
unnecessary inconvenience. While the
investigation must be .proceeded with,
the business will be given considera
tion as far aspossibfe."
Humphreys said that the records will
probably be taken from the yards in
small quantities. , The records men
tioned in the subpenas for submission
constitute a majority of those in the
files and vaults of the corporation of
fices, but it ia understood that a com
paratively small number will actually
be drawn.
J. L. Bowles, president of the North
west Steel company, and Alfred F.
Smith, head of the Columbia River
plant, were mentioned on the request
Monday and will be subpenaed, Humph
reys indicated. Other witnesses from
the yards will also be called, but the
government attorney declined to name

them or give the number of the wit
nesses.'. ALLEGED FRAUD LARGE -
Steamers constructed for the govern
ment on the coat -pi us basis, as well as
under other arrangements, numbering
2An all, will be under Inquiry as far
as the Columbia River yard is con
cerned, and 38 vessels built in the North
west yard on the lump sum payment
plan. The steamers cost the govern
ment over 1100,000,000 and the amounts
received by alleged fraud, according to
the affidavit of the investigating agent,
will exceed 81,000.000.
Ben L. Moore, special assistant to the
attorney general, in charge of shipyard
investigations and prosecutions, who as
sisted Humphreys in the arguments
Monday, returned to Seattle the same
night to go before the federal grand
jury on further shipyard Inquiries in
the Washington district today.
MALARKEY CRIES POLITICS
Retiring from the courtroom after
Judge Bean concluded. Dan Malarkey
again branded the governmental Inves
tigation as a political move engendered
by A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general,
to further his campaign for the presi
dency. "They wouldn't dare try a thing like
this in the East, but must come all the
way out here to Oregon and stage it,"
said he, comparing the present investi
gation to that of the Oregon land fraud
cases of 18 years ago, when United
States Senator John Mitchell and many
others were indicted.
The federal grand jury convened again
this afternoon, but there was nothing
to indicate that the shipyard investi
gation was to be immedistely resumed
and We assumption is that the matter
will be taken up Wednesday when the
subpenaes become effective. The pres
ent grand jury would have been dis
charged last, week, it was learned todtfy.
but for the 'shipyard matters.
PMALiRKKT CHARGES POLITICS
Characterizing the present investiga
tion of the Portland shipyards as a gi
gantic fishing expedition in which gov
ernment agents were casting about seek
ing to find some evidence of criminal
activity. Attorney Dan J. Malarkey be
fore Federal Judge Bean Monday after
noon assailed the request of United
States Attorney Lester W. Humphreys
that records of the Northwest Steel com
pany and the Columbia River Shipbuild
ing corporation be submitted to the
grand jury.
Malarkey hinted that the inquisition
bore the taint of political motive, "prob
ably to elect someone president of the
United States," and declared that the
two shipyards were proud of the rec
ords achieved by them during the war.
By their industry, he asserted, and
their patriotic efforts, the shipyards had
earned the bonuses paid them by the
Emergency Fleet corporation, and which
the government is now seeking to prove
were not lawfully received.
COURT EXPRESSES DOUBT
Ben la. Moore, special assistant attor
ney general, who is in charge of ship
yard investigations and prosecutions in
the Nr,rthiBt hrUfiv anw.H ntio
key.a contention and Judge Bean then I
adjourned taking the matter under ad- j
visement.
When Malarkey concluded, however, ;
Judge Bean questioned the government!
prosecutors if whether or not the vast i
amount of records asked for from the !
; shipyards were intended solely for the
examination of the grand Jurors or
whether they were to be obtained and
turned over afterwards to government
experts for examination.
"I don't know of any rule ordering
papers be produced for the grand iury
only to be turned over to some other
agency for examination," observed the
court. "There may be snch, but I don't
know of it."
COURT MAKES SPOGESTIOK
Judge Bean also asked the federal
attorneys if the arrangement whereby !
government agents could go to the ship- i
yards and examine the records In con-'
junction with accountants in the employ ,
or tne operators would not be feasible,
Humphreys replied that such a oro
posal had not been broached by the on-'
erators prior to the hearing, when it was
offered by Attorney W. Lair Thompson. 1

EVERYBODY TO GET
OPPORTUNITY TO
BOY 0. S. BOATS
By David Lawrence
(CocynsBtad. ll20) i
Washington, AprH 27. Everybody
will have an equal chance to buy
the ships buiit by the United States
and they will bdssold on a uniform
basis of valuation and on such terms
as will perirJt the operators to dis
tribute payments over a period of
12 years.
Only those persons or companies who
can satisfy the shipping board, not
merely of their ability to pay the Init
ial cash payment, but to meet their
obligations periodically will be given
ships. Furthermore, the shipping board
is going ahead to lease the German ships
seized in American ports' at the outbreak
of the war.
BKKifcON taVES PRINCIPLES
These leases are being made irrespect
ive of the outcome of the Injunction suit
begun by William Randolph Hearst,
which is now being appealed to a high
court. But the persons who obtain the
leases must guarantee to buy the ves
sels in event that the courts confirm the
shipping board's judgment that they
may be sold just like craft built by the
Emergency Fleet corporation.
The foregoing, principles of shipping
policy were given by Admiral Benson,
chairman of the shipping board, and
represent the outline of policy thus far
formulated. The sales program Is not
yet worked out in detail.

Make and Bake Everything
AND BEST THOUGHT OF EATING
Plenty for Twenty
Sharing :
of business men called here by Admiral
Benson to confer with the senate and :
house committees on commerce and mer
chant marine and with the officials of
the shipping board.
The program was left to such a com
mittee to draft because It was realised
that the strain on the money market
would be dangerous if the ship were
offered for sale In the open market
without carefully safeguarding the fu
ture payments to tae government as
well as the credit market today.
The fear was expressed that would-be
purchasers would borrow large sums
from the banks, making IniUal payments,
and then the banks would be inter
mittently alarmed about deferred pay
ments if freight rates dropped or in
ternational trade was disturbed by
factors not now foreseen.
So it ha been virtually decided that
a 10 per cent cash payment will be re
quired and 5 per cent every six months
until the end of the second year. , when
30 per cent will have been paid. The
remainder will be collected in payments
of 7 per cent per year for 10 years.
An interest charge of 6 per cent will be
charged on deferred payments to pro
vide incentive for earlier payment.
ONLT FOR AMERICANS
The prices Of the ships have not yet
been determined, but they wi!l he uni
form and will be based upon a cost
per ton which la attractive to those
who desire to engage In the steamship
business and yet sufficient to repay the
government for its investment.
Inasmuch as ihe government will re
tain a mortgage on all ships until they
are fully paid for, a measure of con
trol win be exercised over the treat
ment given the vessels.
Similarly, if some years are excep
tionally profitable', a limit of 15 per cent
on the amount that can be taken out
of the earnings will be placed no that
the government can get some additional
payments toward its Indebtedness.
No ships are being leased nor will
any be nold to any firms or individuals
other than those of American ciliien
ship. BAB CHANGING OF FLAGS
The shipping board is about to ask
congress to put such a clause In the
pending shipping act. Foreigners might,
for instance, be permitted to buy into
American shipping concerns to the
amount of 20 per cent, but fully 70
per cent of the money must come from
American citlsens and the ownership
of 75 per cent of the stock must re-
main in the hands of American citizens.
Congress has already prohibited the
