AIRPLANE EXPRESS
E
Seaside is convinced! v
'The eyes of that coast city Were
opened wide In amazement Wednes.
day afternoon when, from The Jour
nal's unique seaplane express, 'the
first regular air delivery , of any
newspaper, subscribers received their
copies of the first afternoon edition
of The Journal,; one hour and 41
minutes after the big air carrier left
Portland.
. There had been doubters but doubt
vanished when Pilot Walter H. Lees of
the Oregon, Washington Idaho Air
plane company, alighted in the Necani
cum river where Seasiae carriers of The
Journal were waiting to unload1 the
cargo of the seaplane. .'
PAPERS ABE DELIVERED ;
From the river bank th carriers
rushed over their routes, delivering tnelr

(than has heretofore been possible. T - ;
The Journal's startling Innovation in
delivering by seaplane,- putting- papers
In Seaside approximately r two hours
after they come from The Journal
presses, found Seaside keenly Interested.
Summer visitors to the coast, already
gathering In numbers at Seaside, made
The Journal's unusual method of serv
ing its 'customers a topic of widespread
conversation and business men received
the delivery as a tribute to the Import
ance of their city. j
TO 3f AIJCXAIIT ROUTE -f 4
"Pilo Lees; with his plane laden with
Journals, lifted off the Willamette at
exactly 1 :20 p. m. Wednesday afternoon,
carrying the first consignment of papers
over the route that The Journal - will
maintain throughout the summer. One
hour and 41 minutes later1 the newsboys
and carriers at Seaside were receiving
the papers for delivery to readers.
This astounding achievement in speed
is convincing proof that The Journal
delivery schedule can be maintained
and that Seaside will have The 'Journal
not . later - than 3 :30 p. m. every day.
For the present Astoria subscribers will
not benefit by the service because there
is no skid way for the service of the sea
planes, which would be forced to land
there to make deliveries.
The Astoria city council, however, tak
ing note - that the planes cannot stop,
will meet Monday night to discuss the
construction of a skidway in the river
near the heart of the city and it is be
lieved by officials of the O. W. I. com
pany that within a week a satisfactory
skidway will be Installed.
ASTORIA SCHEDULE INCLUDED
.Thereafter the history making Jour
nal delivery express planes will make
regular stops at Astoria, leaving -the
first afternoon edition of the paper for
sale in that city not later than 3 p. m.

Conservative Democrats and Repub

greater, than it was a year ago." The
appeal r for a mandate 'over .Armenia
Jvtlged by the public sentiment here at
least, was an ill-advised move. It was
looked upon as proof of the argument
that the league meant the- sending of
troops abroad. The; Democratic presi

evidence of an intention to steer
clear of internationalism to- hold the
Democratic vote and, as said before,
heading the Democratic vote of 1918
might mean ' a Democratic- victory-, here
if,-at. seems likely, the Republican party

to respond quickly to the appeal for
cars.' Gasoline is assured ' for the cars
carrying-- visitors. Special .cards- will
be 'provided for the ' windshield of each
car that , will" guarantee r"the gasoline
supply. s' i '
"Many owners of cars have offered to
loan , their cars to the committee with
out drivers,- but the,; committee is not
willing to take this responsibility, ; pre
ferring ta have the owners drive." said
Powers. "Women-have responded well
to the call for -cars and drivers.. - .
"Those planning to drive cars con
veying visitors should familiarize them
selves iwith traffic regulations : which

there be a surplus of cars at any hour

; The Gompers faction early in the' fight
raised the cry of "socialisation of Amer

Andv whereas, the? ".railroad question

THIRD PARTY GAINING

tie the vote on president may be divided
into three parts, which means that the
normally large Republican vote could
easily be split so that no section of -it
would be as big as the normal Demo
cratic vote and the Democrats might
win the electoral vote of Minnesota.,
Much will depend uph the outcome of
next week's primaries, but It will not be
forgotten : that Roosevelt and Johnson
were prime favorites, and that in 191
Wood row Wilson re 11 just 397 votes short
of overturning an overwhelming Roose

other hand, are rather glad that John

IRISH ABE X.EFT AGAIX'
Many Irish Democrats 'are deeply
grieved over Johnson's defeat. They are
among the most bitter critics of the Wil
son administration and were all pre
pared to enter the Republican party.
Just where they now will go is hard to
say, but It is doubtful if they will vote
the Democratic ticket unless something
concrete la pledged toward the. cause of
Irish freedom.' And if they do rfot vote

meeting consisted of an audience that
packed the room, and no officers. This
was explained by the statement -that
there had been some mistake- In the
announcement of the meeting, which had
been called without authority, an ex
planation .which failed to satisfy the
gathering, which adopted . a resolution
asking the officers to call a. meeting
to give those who wanted : to ' join a
chance to get their " nmes - down
something entirely new in local politics.
Out of that meeting came the informa
tion; however? which has since been veri
fied by. news dispatches from Chicaq,
that the answer to the third party puz
zle is to be given at Chicago on. July lp.
FOCE CONTENTIONS CALLED
On that ' date . four national ' conven
tions are to be called, each meeting sep
arately, but with the leaders ready , to
negotiate one with - the other. There
will be .the national convention of the
"committee of 48," of the national labor
party, of the Non-partisan league and
lof the votaries of the single tax.
iue committee ox u n composed or
the v unr formed members of the Pro
gressive party of 1912, those who fol
lowed Roosevelt so far "afield that they
never wandered back onto the reserva
tion in 1916. The national labor party is
the new. Organisation temporarily formed
some months ago. What the other two
stand for and represent is familiar po

The four groups in their membership
represent the radicals who are not sat

probably would not be possible of satis

would adODt. They - will, to a practical
certainty, - not be' satisfied with the ef

Interest to its leaders. .They are oppoosed
to universal military training and they
have pot heard Johnson say that he was
with them en that Issue. .They are also
opposed tt the League of Nations, but
not on'the same ground with Johnson.
They are opposed to the treaty of Ver
