SPEAKERSHIP RE Letters Being Sent Out Now To Be Followed With Personal Calls James W. Mott said Thursday that he would soon begin an act ive campaign for the speakership of the 130 house. He began this week writing letters to all candi dates sure' of seats next January, seeking their support. Mr. Mott for three sessions represented Clatsop county and this year poll ed the greatest number of votes in Marion county. Mott concedes that Frank J. Lonergan had something tike 30 Totes pledged to him at the end of the 1929 session' for the 1931 speakership, but declares this strength of the Portland candidate has been broken up by results of the May primary election. LonergaM's Strength Hit by Primaries "Only about half of Lonergan's pledges will return to the legis lature," Mott said. "Some failed to be nominated and some were not candidates for nomination. Among the large group of certain mem bers who are at liberty to sup port whom they please, tbe knowl edge that Lonergan doubtless would organize, or attempt to or ganize the house against George Joseph, isn't doing Lonergan any good, so it seems to me that bis chance for election to the speaker ship has crumbled. These members are assuming, of course, that Jos eph will be governor." As for the comparative situation occupied by himself. Emmet How ard of Eugene and Herbert Gor don of Portland,-Mtt said be thought, at present they had about the same amount or strength." NEW BARRIERS FACING TARIFF BILL'S PASSAGE Rules of Order Invoked By Democrats to Stave Off Progress Move For Free Leather and Leather Goods Comes As Big Surprise CHARLES HOWARD IIOW LIFE MEMBER State Superintendent Is Honored by National Education Body By D.

After Vice-Presrdent Curtis had upheald four democratic points of order against the conference rates on cheese, watch, jewels, rayons and a provision relating to tem porary, free entry of cattle from Mexico and Canada for pasturage. the house defeated 181 to 140, a minority proposal to Instruct house managers to accept the sen ate's free listing of hides, leath ers, and shoes. The decision on the poiflla of order automatically returned the bill to conference. Both houses reappointed conferees and Senator Smoot, Utah, chairman of the sen ate conference committee, said he would call a meeting tomorrow in the hope the corrections could be made and the bill reported to the senate tomorrow or Monday. Sat urday usually is an off day. Move for Free Leather Surprise While the vice president s deci sion was no surprise to "republican leaders, the move in the house for free hides and shoes came unex pectedly. After the branch agreed to another conference with the senate, Rep. Garner, Texas, min ority leader and a tariff conferee, made the instruction motion which lost by 41 on a record vote. The senate had kept the three leather commodities on the free list after failing In four attempts to write a scale of duties accept able to all sides. The conference agreement carries the house rates of ten per cent on hides, from 12 1 to 20 per cent on leathers and 20 per cent on shoes, all now on the free list. Loud cheers and yells greeted Speaker Longworth's announce ment of the vote, the first record ballot to be taken in that branch on these controverted levies.

It is the natural thing, he agreed, for the group which stepped out to organize a new church. Payne stated he has warned bis friends in tbe First Baptist church not to leave it on his account, telling them either to get in and help the new pastor or to get out entirely and not hinder progress of the First church. "I believe those people who took out tbeir letters did so only in a spirit of helping the new pas tor, for they felt they could not stay in and worship in the true spirit," the former pastor of the church said. Included in the list who have withdrawn are a deacon, a trus tee, three members, of the pulpit committee and a former clerk. While not verified, it is ru mored another list bearing ap proximately 100 names will be presented In the future witn re quest for church letters.
