Certain shipping ,' Interests in other Northwestern ports, . as revealed at the commerce committee , hearings, allied . themselves with the r big capital group of.' the .East which Is fighting against competition; and try ' Ing to force this government to sell in g the quickest possible. time in order that future operations, may be confined to . thosJv. same -'centralized Interests hav J Ing easy contact with, great capital ag gregations.' 'We submit that one of the two men to be named from the "Pacific Coast $ should be ; frbm Portland Thus, -we are confident, .-would the great cause of open door and equal' opportunity be s most likely protected in- the Northwest ern selection. : We are clear of all the monopoly, (.influences. ,. whereas certain shipping interests of some of our neigh bors have frankly taken the stand with the centralized New York big capital group, who believe In a monopoly con ' ' trol of the American merchant, marine. All twe new Portland shipping develop ment, with one small exception, Is. ab- J solutely independent of these groups." Dodson is now In the East handling 'shipping and industrial matters for the Portland chamber SECOND PLACE ON TICKET BEING FILLED (Contfmwd Prom "Pace Om.) while the Tammany delegates arose and sang.

P.) -The Democratic national convention' met at 12 :45 p. m. today to nominate Its vice presidential Candidate. -- As the session started there was considerable , talk of Franklin D- Roosevelt as the nominee. but the New York delegation had not de cided whether to place him formally in nomination. , t V .. - The Ohio delegation was waiting to toar whether Governor Cox had any preference for his running mate on the ticket. They had asked for his, ad vice. Rev. Father Barry of , Butte, Mont., delivered the Invocation ? on the topic, "Ood Give Us Men." i&s he prayed, the delegates' section of the floor was crowded, but the galleries were only about a third filled. , ' . ; .

It was learned. They planned to let the situation solve Itself and first give the convention a "chance to nominate a vice presidential candidate in open balloting. . It was suggested that in the event there was no nomination state caucuses -would be called to agree on some course of procedure. Gavin McNab of ' California moved a recess until o'clock- this afternoon. The motion was overwhelmingly de feated by a viva voce vote. IT IS GETAWAY DAY ? It was getaway day at the convention, to use a turf phrase.: Numbers of the delegates had their . grips packed and waiting near. by. for a dash to the train the minute the final gavel falls. Some of them were still weary and full of yawns, the result of the sensational day and night session which culminated early this morning In Cox's nomination. But the tenslcn was let down and it was a good-humored crowd - that entered the now historic auditorium. They were all anxious to nominate the vice presiden tial candidate and depart as speedily .as possible, therefore protracted balloting was not looked for. .1 . There were still ' traces of the all night i nomination battle ,as the first delegates . strolled into',, the ' "arena," as Chairman Robihsori calls If and with more or less ' ennui, sprawled in their Beats waiting to say thejr say about xhe vice presidential nomination.' STANDARDS' ABE TOim The standards' of Washington, New York and other states were bent and torn, due to rough usage during the great demonstration which attended the nomination Of Cox. i . Twelve o'clock came , and went with less than 1000 people delegates and all, in the building. There were rows upon rows of vacant seats in the gallery and on the floor.

It caught the eye first. It was like something close at hand, tangible and definite, while Wilson's oil. painting had an air of distance and detachment. The Indefatigable band played the same old tunes to --the same old way. With the same old energy. . BATTLE SCE3TES BE CALLED , C There was a lot of handshaking and "I told you so-lng In progress on the floor as delegates fought over and over again the battle of the small hours and even pointed out on the floor the spots where this and , that happened and where the Pennsylvania chairman stood as his delegation switched and gave Cox the landslide momentum, as If they were taking in the sights of aa historic battle field. - ; : i.; --';v ' ' !' At frequent intervals the band played th Ohio battle song. "We'll Nominate Cox" to the tune- of "And ; He Ram bled." The crowd always "got ; It" in stantly and applauded, but not very loudly.

Some even claimed ' their palms were tender from being smitten, together some' thou sands of times. ,f ' f , ' J. HAM HOT PRESENTED T Former Senator James -Hamilton Lewis of Illinois waa Jiot presented for mally to the convention as a vice presi dential candidate, according to former Governor Dunne of- - Illinois.

This had been prepared In expectation of McAdoo and Cox being the Democratic ticket. i i " I don't cars," cried CKeefe. There's no state in the Union will give Cox mere votes than Texas will."
