THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27. H.21 1 NIE CANDIDATES SEND IN NAMES Contest for Salem Postmas iership Grows Warmer As Appointment Nears , Although 16 application blanks were called for at the Salem post oflice, by which applications could be made to the civil service commission for serving the gov ernment as postmaster at Salem, only nine applicants had their papers in Washington, D. C, by October 25. According to telegraphic re ports from Washington these are is follows: Walter L. Tooze. Sr.. August Huckestein. Herbert Ilaid, Leroy Hewlett, Herman Shcll berg. John II. Farrar. Andrew A. Lee. Thomas C. Smith, Jr., and Arthur E. Gibbard. Mr. Tooze has been an avowed candidate for the position. August Huckestein, present postmaster, has been in the ser vice more than eight years, his term., expiring July 21. Like a nunfoer of other Democratic post masters in the state, he has thrown hlg hat into the ring for reappointment, basing his chances . on the reueated assertion that the appointment would be made by the civil service commission. This commission is supposed not to in quire into a man's political views. Herbert Haid is at present credit man foH. L. Stiff & Co. lie has been a resident of Oregon and Salem (or Vho past 18 years and bases bis chances on securing the appointment on the tact that ability to hold down the Job is the main, thing that counts. Mr. Hald has never held any position under the government, and this ,.' is bis first attempt to break into the service." Mr. Hewlett, at present cap tain of Company F, O.HN. O., was for a doxen years or more in the postoff Ice , service, ' having re signed and taken up contracting j and building about two years ago. He served in the war with the Salem company. ' 3Ierman Shellburg has been an avowed candidate for the lob, serving Salem as postmaster for several months. He is a carpen ter and contractor by occupation Several years ago he was In the government service as deputy col- lector. Mr. Farrar, assistant' postmas ter, has been in the postoffice work for a dozen years or more, and bases his chances largely on the fact that the civil service com mission has repeatedly stated that experience In the service is what counts, and that the , Salem ap pointment ,wouj k pe . made on,; civil service basis. - Mr. Lee, 'for . 35 years a resi dent of Salem, and former ownerv of i the Salem Abstract company, has been active in municipal af fairs for years, and especially so In hla work in serving as director for the board of education. Dr. Smith is a dentist! with offices' In the United States Na tional Bank building, '-While not taking an active part in the mu nicipal affairs of the city In re cent years. Dr. Smith was former ly Interested In a number of en terprises. I Mr. Gibbard has been In the postal service for a dozen years or more and at present is super intendent of malls. It Is thought by those familiar with the appointments ot post masters to offices ot the first class, that the next move will be to send two special civil service v a gents here to talk things-over and size up the . candidates, as well as to get. the general im pression regarding the standing of each. - . - - , While many old-time" politicians look wise and claim that the ap pointment will be-dictated by Sen ator Charles L." McN'ary, the Im pression is galling ground that the next postmaster of Salem will really be appointed by the civil service commission, with the con sent and approval ot Will Hays, postmaster general, and the sen- :. tor from Oregon whose home is - In Salem. a better citizen for being a better Mason. Anxiety Dispelled. "There are moments of anxiety whon one wonders what the mor row will bring and I can find my self heartened because I know there is this great fraternity which Lis ever ready to give of its all for 'the maintenance of law and order. I do not disparage any other fra ternity and I think the fraternal spirit is one of the finest of our republic. I want to see more of! the fraternal spirit among na- ! tions. I hope that the day has come when the people can look in to the faces of the peoples of Eu rope and Asia and Africa and South America and ask themselves the question, why not fraternity among nations? Why should we make war? Why should we seek that which Is others I believe that In this new consciousness we are going to accomplish a new step forward in the world." The decree of doctor of laws was conferred on the president by Birmingham Southern college during the afternoon. Denominational .Schools Favored. "I have a great faith in the state universities," he told the fac ulty and students, "but if there needed to be a sacrifice the last Institutions of higher education which I would be content to have put aside would be the denomina tional schools. "I suppose I'm partial to the Baptist;?, but I do not think it makes so much difference If one only has the fear of God in his heart. If I could do it I'd lo glad to give all my thought, all my soul, to add a little more to the religious reverence of this republic.'" Leaving tonight the president's special train will reach Camp Bennlng, Oa., near Columbus, ear ly tomorrow and Mr. Harding will inspect the infantry school before proceeding to Atlanta.

Strawberry Shortcake Is Salem Winter Dish CLUB TOLD NEED OF BOY'S WORK Boardman, Hollaway and Doney Speak Before Salem Rotarians Rumors that Chief of Police Verden Moffitt had been named definitely to a position as deputy under Dr. Joseph Linville, federal prohibition director for Oregon, were not confirmed by Chief Mof fitt. last night. "I have not yet decided whether I will accept the position, al- hough I have been considering the appointment which was re cently offered me," said Chief Moffitt. ' "Tire position has its disadvan tages as well as its advntaces. I have always regarded Salem as my permanent home and it is difficult to leave the old home town and make the change which would be necessitated by such an appoint, ruent." As head of Salem's police de partment, Chief Moffitt receives a salary of $1800 a year. It is un derstood .that the office of a deputy-prohibition enforcement offi cer; receives $2040 a year at the present time while it is reported that a proposed change may in crease this figure to $2250. Members of the police commit tee of the Salem council say that they have received no intimation from Chief Moffitt that he intends to resign. The report of Chief Moffltt's resignation has been the cause of an avalanch of applica tions for the position and Salem aldermen are reported to have sought shelter from the applicants ', who are already canvassing votes for the coveted appointment. Police committee members as sert that no names win be given consideration until Moffltt's res ignation is actually received. Oregon may not be the land of everlasting summer, but it's al most.

He referred to the effrts of the Rotary clubs in Ohio which re sulted in laws being enacted by which every rhild in the state, needing medical attention, or every cripple, is compelled to re ceive proper; radical help. There is a general need of giv ing attention to boys, Mr. Board- man said, as records show that more boys than ever before are being called before the juvenile courts of the state. Mr. Boardman said that Ro tarians could help in boys' work by supporting . the plan lor a boys' week, by helping boys indi vidually, by the promotion of ed ucational guidance and by giving more publicity, to the needs of boys. He said plans are under way for a survey of the boy situ ation in Salem and what should be done for the boys. C. R. Hollaway. assistant su- RACE VIEW GIVEN , BY MR.

Vukio Ozaki, former minister of. justice and noted advocate of the limitation of armaments, addressing students of the imperial university declared that the conference at Washington would succeed or fail, depending on the achievement of the primary object limitation of armaments. Discussion of questions relating to the Far East and the Pacific separately would do more harm than good to the real object of the conference. "The limitation of armaments." he said, "would hardly prove a lasting guarantee against hostility. So long as armament remains in existence there is a possibility of warfare. Its limitation is but a step toward its abolition. The shock of war was one of the main factors in bringing about the ef fort at limitation." HOUSTON, Tex..
