Gasoline Supply Is
Untapped, He Says
-When Martin X. ConwelV who op
erates a gasoline filling and service
station at 5 Union avenue, dropped
a few facetious remarks about giv
ing motorists all the fuel they want
ed because of the unlimited supply
he drew from his wells in Wyoming,
the tale spread rapidly. ,'
"Tea" ConweU ia reported to have
remarked. "I can let you have all
the gas you want. I have pioneer's
rights in Wyoming oil fields, and
owing, to the downhill grade to
Portland I can pipe the juice right
to my back I door. Coma la .and
mi up.i '
Con well was apotogetls when asked
as to his reported gasoline hoard,
"Not shucks," said he, "that was
all a Joke. I'm selling one of the
regular brands at the regular! price,
I guess some cows are erasing on my
oil holdings In Wyoming. There's
-never been any oil In 'em so far aa

Klne proposltionsv five proposed
amendments to the state constitu
tion and four proposed statutes, have
been submitted by the special ses
sion of the legislature , for approval
or .rejection by the voter of Orerea
at the special election to be held
May 2L For the Information of the
voters The Journal will present a
brief and concise statement of the
purpose1 and Intent of these various
proposals, one at a time until the
entire list has been covered, taking
them in the order in which they will
appear upon th off! dial ballot. i
- The fifth proposed amendment to
the constitution to be on the ballot
at the special, election, ia known by
the short title of "Successor to Gov
ernor" amendment. ; f -
It provides that "in ease of the re
moval from office of the governor, ; or
his death, resignation, absence from the
state or other inability to discharge the
duties of his office, the president of the
senate shall become governor until the
disability be removed or until the va
cancy is filled at the next g-eneral bien
nial election."
It also provides that in event both the
governor and the president of the sen
ate should pe unable to discharge the
duties of the executive office the speaker
of the house shall become governor to
serve until the disability be removed, or
until the next biennial election.
MIXTirEXFItta'D TKKSf
The amendment provides, also, that
a governor elected to fill vacancy
shall serve for the unexpired term of the
governor whose death, resignation or
other disability brought him into office.
The proposed amendment attains the
same end sought by the lieutenant gov
ernor amendment twice repudiated by
the voters of the state by most decisive
majorities. But there are other and
more vital objections to it than to the
lieutenant governor amendment concern
ing which the electorate spoke so plainly
in the negative.
The adoption of the amendment by the
people would make of every legislative
organization fight a quasi convention for
the election of a potential governor,
not by direct vote ef the electorate, but
by indirection and, more than probably,
by manipulation.
An abiding; conviction is expressed by
Socialists Hope
To Win Favor by
2-Syllable Words
V By George B. Holmes .
New j iFork. May 13. (I. N. S.) For
the first time in recent years the leaders
of the Socialist party are abandoning to
day their assortment of stock phrases
such ae "Down with capitalism! and
"Dictatorship ot the proletariat, and
are preparing; to go out and bid for the
votes of laboring; men this year by ap
pealing to their logic rather than to their
class prejudice.
The' ultraradical, or "left wing fac
tion, has been defeated on the national
convention floor and the conservative
element, led by such men as Morris Hill
quit, Victor Berger. Oscar Amerlnger.
Cameron Kins; of California and Judge
Panxen of New Tork, are in control of
the party's destinies. -
The Hlllqult program for political ac
tion duajna; the 'coming eam'paign, which
triumphed over the soviet program of
J. Louis Engdahl andyhis associate ex
tremists from Chicago, is designed to ap
peal particularly to "the man in the
street." It is, a primer of ' Socialism,
with all words of more than two sylla
bles barred from it.
"That has been the trouble with us
Socialists for 40 - years," said Victor
Berger. "We have prated about Marx
ian Socialism and 'proletarian ism' in all
our campaigns. And not one man in JO
knew what we were talking about."
more than few that the chair of the
state senate Is more often than not
filled by those of gubernatorial caliber
than otherwise. Within the relative re
eeat past Jay Bowerman was president
of the state senate, and he was repu
diated aa a candidate for governor by
the people. W. IaIt Thompson 'also held
the office.:--He has not submitted him
self to the ballot. Ous Moeer held the
presiding position and the voters of the
state registered their opinion of him
as a gubernatorial candiate. He la the
author of the proposed amendment.
The election of a president of the sen
ate is pretty badly involved In Inside
politics as It Is. The office comes, all too
often, from secret combinations made and
promises given both Inside and outside
the legislatur.
ETILft ABX XXK
With the president of the senate stand'
ing In the role of a possible governor, as
would be tbe ease under the amendment,
not only would all manner of additional
and Invidious influences be injected Into
the election, but tbe situation would
tend to engender hostility and conflict
between the executive and the legisla
tive branches of the state government
even to a greater degree than . is at
present the caee and that, usually, la bad
enough. .
Finally, the amendment would threw
the election of a possible Interim gov
emor into the hands of it men and
take It away from the people ae a
whole.' Whether ' the present constitu
tional previsions, now adjudicated and
made definite in meaning by the su
preme court, by which the secretary of
state succeeds 'to the governorship in
case of necessity be Ideal or otherwise,
it yet gives to the entire electorate of
the state the opportunity to measure can
didates for that office with that con
tingency in mind.
VOTEXS CAS CHOOSX '
' The voters of the whole state can
choose for secretary of state, amone
the entire list of candidates who present
themselves, that man who, la their opin
ion, would best . serve . as secretary of
state ana in time or necessity, as aov
srnor as well. Under the terms of the
proposed amendment the voters of each
senatorial 4 district, and representative
district as well, will choose among local
candidates men for the senate and house,
any one of whom may be elevated to
the governorship by force of circum
stances, irrespective of qualification or
populy desire. ' . .v
