The delegation, it was said, saw: tlfe senator at the hospital in Rochester,' Minn, j HE THIXKS IT OTK The : delegation did not press their Question.; They went away leaving Xa follette to think it over. , , That Lafollette is considering favor ably the idea of going with the third party, is the view taken by political ob servers, as a result of aa announcement here by liberals that a "working alliance among progressive organizations in Wis consin has been completed. 1 Indicative of the tand which may be taken by the proposed third party were plans of the committee of 4$ to give wide circulation to resolutions adopted at a state convention of that party in Minne sota last Saturday. ; . ' i; 3TATIOXAI. PABTT tKGED I The resolutions urge the committee of 48 to Join with other liberal organizations in establishing a- new national political party. The aims of the labor party and the committee of 4, read the resolution given out here today, are so similar that it may reasonably be expected that the two bodies will unite on platform and candidates, thus launching a new party whose program, from the hour of its organization, will be backed by millions of people.

SHE COMMITTEE PLEADS FOR MORE AUTOS FOR VISITORS ' Automobiles ' for the accommoda tion, of visitors on tours over the Co lumbia river highway ,' and , Ariow routes are needed badly by the Shrine automobile committee. The appeal of the commutes has changed to a plea for there are not nearly enough cars available, j " Every fi other detail for the Shrine conclave 4 has been worked out, but plans of : the automobile committee are being held up by the slow .'response of citizens to the call for cars. Ira F. Powers, R.; A. Stewart and F. C. Griffith, . in charge of the automo bile committee work, have been - labor ing night and day to iget sufficient cars gathered together, j This morning Powers said : MUCH-AT STAKE "We must have more automobiles. The Columbia' river highway has been nationally advertised and Portland is going- to lose out if there are not enough cars provided to take the vis itors over the route, and this 'will mean disappointed visitors. We aim to send everyone away satisfied." This morning. Bert Eling of the Overland agency notified Powers that 15 new Overland cars would be turned over to i the ; committee for the week. This fleet of automobiles has been christened the "mosquito fleet" and will be used for- emergency work. ; . The automobile service provided from headquarters for visitors has received much comment from the early visitors. They are whirled to their destination without charge. . j - . COOPERATION IfEEDEB" The committee cited another instance this morning which demands closer co operation. A party of 15 visiting no bles stood for 10 minutes at Fifteenth and Broadway this morning waiting for streetcars, and during that time many automobiles passed by without proffering a ride. - Some: of the auto mobiles were manned i by Portland Shriners, too.- - ,r "Pick up all Shriners" is the word passed along, and members of Al Kader are hoping that citizens i who are not Shriners, are going to i aid in this scheme. - -- 1 Shriners.

Six Forest Patrol Planes May Be Here For Shriners' Week ; Attempts are being made by the gen eral Shrine committee, upon the sugges tion of District Forester George Cecil, to secure the six airplanes to be used for forest patrol beginning June 25, in time for the celebrations of Shrine week.

Eastmoreland aviation i field has been abandoned, and the field of the Oregon, Washington & Idaho Air .'plane company will be used by the forest patrol planes instead, Cecil announced this morning. The change in fields Is due to no fault of Eastmoreland, Cecil explained, but to the mere fact that the Guild lake field is being- used to a greater extent Four of the , planes will go out from the Eugene base and two from the sub base at Medford. .The Medford . planes will be routed over northern California. One plane will visit Portland dally at the beginning. ! Cecil received word recently that In July four routes will be established from Camp Lewis.

'. -vr: me HD1 One of the outstanding incidents of the Republican Convention at Chicago .was Hiram Johnson's victory in forcing the adpption of the League of Nations plank in (he platform. According to' the N. Y. TimesH "the net result is that the Republican party has met the issue squarely and has made the League of Nations a paramount issue of the presidential campaign. It is a clean-cut fight from now on between President Wilson's principles of the settlement jof National disputes through a Society of nations and the principle accepted by the Republican convention that the United States should hold itself aloof from participation in the, For all the Tmportant news, with special attention given to reporting the Republican Convention, you should read this week's.

Demo crats gathering here for the conven tion are maintaining at least an out ward semblance of perfect alliance with President Wilson's Ideas as ex pressed in the Interview published In the New York World. ' Th Inter view; may have been an ..explosive bomb, but if so such delegates and committeemen as have arrived here are doing an excellent job of hiding whatever damage it may have done. T am certain that President' Wilson correctly expressed the sentiment of the convention," Homer S., Cum mines, chair man of the Democratic national conven tion, declared. -BUT AX MAT START BOW ' - "The convention will declare' for rati fication of the treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. There has never been any question in my mind about that." - "What about Bryan," he was asked. "I don't speak for Bryan," Cummlngs replied, "I am sure, however, that I speak for the convention." In spite of the united and smilingly confident front presented to outsiders the prevalent- impression - among disinter ested observers here is that the conven tion la In for a smashing fight over the league issue. Cummlngs does not speak for Bryan, but the impression prevailn that Bryan will speak for himself, and his voice has ever been a mighty-roar in the ears of Democratic delegates. He is expected to' sound his mightiest note against ratification without reservations. .. Apparently, on the : league question the convention is faced with the problem of coaxing . two hungry lions to He down beside each other and act like nice little pussy cats white a luscious lamb is paraded before their eyes. The lamb Is Democratic party control. The Hons are respectively President Wilson . and Bryan. The answer Is that the conven tion has a full sized Job of diplomatic pacification on its hands that will prob ably fail. It looks like a fight. In support of Cummlngs' opinion, Mrs, Mary E.
