On Plank to

Dr. Butler Warns Against Attempt
to Commit the Party, on an r
Anti-League Platform.
By Ii. C. Martin . ....
Chicago, June 5. (U, P.) Many
platform conferences were held, dur
ing the day, some of them partici
pated in by candidates. Senators
Lenroot Kelloggr and .Watson held
one pow-wow and adjourned to have
another when Senator Borah arrived
Sunday. They talked; about the
treaty plank. Watson denied that
he had a draft of . a plank modeled
on that adopted by the Republicans
of Indiana. " ! - ,
Senator Johnson, asked concerning a
report -that such , a plank had been ap
proved by htm.) said he was not entirely
clear on the matter. , ..
JOHNSOTT STILL HOPrCt - r !
"I am growing happier with the pas
sage of the hours, and. more hopeful,
too," Senator Johnson told newspaper
men tonight. : f ; -: :--
He indicated he believed the situation
was still "diffused' but that arrival of
delegations during the next . 48 hours
would tend to tighten it. ' "
Johnson said he believed the platform
would be satisfactory to him : but that
if he .discovers it is not.. he will try to
have it changed before It Is finally
agreed' upon, i The Republican party,
Johnson ; said, cannot "straddle" the
Lieague of Nations issue 1 a firm stand
must be taken.
- Asked what; he would do if such a
stand, were not taken, he said he would
cross , that bridge" when he came to it.
Johnson said he did not expect a'pro
longed fight over the platform planks
and that the convention probably would
conclude its business during next week.
The senator will remain in Chicago all
during the convention, he said, when in
formed that Ijowden and Wood planned
to-be out of the city.. . ',
BUTLER SERVES NOTICE ' " ; x
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, the New
York candidate, today issued a warning
to Senator Johnson and Senator Borah
that if they try "to commit the party, in
defiance of its written traditions to a
declaration of isolation from the life andi
problems of the civilized world, by fiRht-i
inr for ,.arr anti-League of ' : Nations;
plank, he will oppose them with all pos-j
slble emphasis." .
Seiator Johnson's statement to news-i
papermen today mat ne "certainly
would" accept the nomination even if
the party adopted a plank approving the
Lodge reservations gave rise to a con
troversy tonight as to whether Johnson
said it or not. Thought two score cor
respondents" heard blm distinctly, and
the stenographic report f the conversa
tion showed that he said it, the senator
when asked whether he - had made : the

Gasoline Saving Is Urged

1 Salem, June fi. Governor -blcott today .issued the accompanying
proclamation in the interest of gasoline" conservation; .
y Communications received in the governor's office from all parts of
the state leave no doubt that the- gasoline shortage , In ' Oregon Is
grave. , , ;y ; .- " ri-.v..- ,;-v'V:i'? iy, . ryy,,'-y
: I understand from officials of the oil companies that this is not 'to
be permanent, but we have a Condition confronting us for a number of
weeks at least which will require the' most "careful conservation of any
gasoline supply which nay come into: the state. " " ;-
j ' Our food production, our industries,' a large . share of our transpor
tation facilities and, in some instances, the sustenance for" small towns
are dependent in a- great measure on Ahe nsef gasoline,?; Who is pX
fault for this shortage I will not attempt to say. It is sufficient to say
such a condition exists and it must be met Tor that reason I wish to
appe4 to the -patriotic sentiment 'of motor drivers in every part of
Oregon. - - " " "-
I All unnecessary use of cars of every1 description should be discon
tinued. Pleasure trips, should be done away with and gasoline used
.only where it is ayvitay necessity. If. this is not done the whole com
mercial structure of the state will be seriouslyoaffected, with its conse
quent reaction on every citizen. It is a matter of sell protection for
all to see that every possible means be taken to assist in this conser
vation plan. .... ' ' . - ' , " '
For that reason 1 1 must' earnestly urge that every motor vehicle
owner and driver sees to it that gasoline is used only when an absolute
demand requires. : ' - ;
1 ' If this appeal is listened to and- pleasure riding discontinued I am
certain that it will be but a comparatively short time before such con
servation will materially assist in bringing back our gasoline supply to
something near a normal basis. , BEN- WV OLCOTT, . ...
