The preliminary votes are going to be aeattered. These will probably fea ture In the early balloting: Kay, Meier, Metschal, Upton, Hamilton, and a few favorite sons like Gates and Marsters. These ballots will be mere trial balloons. Kay's strength must develop on the second, third er fourth ballot. His friends think that his first choice vote with the vote which will swing him as second choice after eastern Oregon casts a few complimentary rotes tor local names, will give him the requis ite 19 comparatively early In the session. It It does not, then the swing may go to Ralph Hamilton, who while not so widely known perhaps, is favorably known as speaker of the honse tnd a tem porary governor. Desperate Effort For Bfeler Loosne 1 The Joseph forces aided by Bruce Dennis ot Klamath Falls and Jay Bowerman of Portland, will make a desperate thrust tor power with Julius Meier as a name to rally round. The up state character of the committee (one rote to each county) and Its rather conservative temper gives little promise of victory for the Meier taction. The committee will scarcely be in a mood to cap itulate to the Joseph crowd with which it is admittedly not in sym pathy.. The cry of "mandate" based on a third of the voters at the late primary la hardly expect ed to stampede the rather unemo tional members of the committee. A good story Is told about one tip-state member who had a tele phone call from Julius Meier. Meier asked him to come and see him when in Portland this week. "Ill be at the Imperial hotel If yon want to see me" was the prompt reply from this rather staid banker-member. No one need think the committee doeent ap preciate Its authority as well as Us responsibility. Very little talk has gone round about the committee organization; Floyd Cook is about the only one mentioned for state chairman. The rump meet of Multnomah committeemen is not expected to get a foot inside the door at the meeting of the state committee, but It did prepare a list of ac ceptable names and a black list of names unacceptable. , Speeding Work On Roads Plan Of Commission PORTLAND. Ore., July 24 (AP) The state highway com mission today Instructed its sec retary to communicate with Thomas H. McDonald, chief ot the bureau of public roads, rela tive to advancing the date for obligating the 1022 federal aid road funds from January 1, 1021. to September 1 of this year. The purpose ot the proposed advancement Is to expedite high way construction in this state and to provide additional employment dariag the winter. ran LAST TIMES TODAY m arilenN I 1 f tr.s ajv aw ' FAYWRAY JACKJIOtT TOMORROW and SUNDAY OIC THE STACK FANCHON AND MARCO'S "SesOcag ona&JG" IDEA Featuring I .20 er More of the World's Meet Talented Twlss Plus LOU MEIER and ELSINOKIAX Plaiins "DIXIE DITTIES 1 &ftawL ON 5v t sjcss w a -1 frrM crrvr stoi Here, There And Yon Bite of Personal News Gleaned About Interest ing People I am confident that the Sf men chosen to name the republi can candidate for governor are com potent men, and 111 await their decision and support the man they choose," said Congress man W. C Hawley Thursday, "it's going to be a real hot-box for a tew days, that convention hall, and Fm going to stay right here and tend to my own bus iness." Switching over to the Me-Nary-Banks senatorial situation Hawley expressed the opinion that Banks "can't make a dent In MeNary's chanees for re-elec-tlon.'- "Salem is the prettiest spot on the globe," according to Mrs. O. H. Carson, formerly ot Salem but now a resident of Woodland. Washington. "WelL'at least." agrees her husband, "it is the finest place we've seen and we know the Pacific coast region fairly weH." Mr. and Mrs. Carson, who left Salem In lilt, have re turned to find "its population doubled by a great Industrial growth and still a more desirable home city." -The Canons having 'spent a few days with Salem friends, are returning to their home today. Business conditions In Toledo county seat of Lincoln county, are only "fair" commented W. A. Craft, barber, who was in Salem from' that town Thursday. The depression in lumber has tempor arily reduced retail business, says Craft Until a year and one-halt ago he resided tn Salem. Mr. Craft has two sons, Earl who works for an oil distributing company In Toledo, and Hall who is an engineer with, the state de partment of public works in Cal ifornia. e Construction tn Klamath Falls Is decidedly below the peak reach ed last year, reports William Lil jeauist. in Salem this week from the southern Oregon city. Lilje quist has spent most of his time there in reeent months since his company acquired a substantial interest in the City Planing com pany there. e e "It's terrible the way green prune growers are getting treat ed this year on the market for their crop," remarked Council man Henry Vandevort on the street this week. "Last year the buyers probably got 'soaked' and thbj year they are getting it back at the crowers. Ten dollars a. ton Its entirely too low." Miss Esther Coates of Elmira, New York, hadn't been in Salem long Thursday morning when she called the Marion hotel to learn just when the Salem Zonta club met. She found that the group met that noon, and accordingly she was on hand to attend the luncheon session and to tell the club here something about their sister club in Elmira. Miss Coates an enthusiastic Zontian, Is spend ing, the summer at the coast with relatives, and drove over here to remain until today visiting . more relatives.

He stopped, and began- to tell of some of the advantages gained for his state by appropriations made at the last session of the house. "First, and mo3t Important is the river and harbors bill which bring something like 11,500,000 in funds available some this year and some next year to this sec tion. In addition to this nearly one million dollars in allocations from previous legislation will be made available soon for river and harbor Improvement throughout the state. "Appropriation of two million dollars- for a soldiers' home in the northwest also was made and passed aa a result of a bill I In troduced." Boseburg has made a strong bid tor the home planned under the appropriation and prob ability that the home would be built there was expressed by Hawley. "Here's a stretch 100 miles wide and nearly 2,000 miles long that has no such home, and w.hy shouldn't it be built as cen trally as possible?" as asked. Final decision as to the location rests with the board of governors of soldiers homes, and many of the members of that board are fa vorable to Reseburg's bid, it Is understood. Road Fund for Oregon Is Large "Increase ot $50,000,000 In the public road fund affects Oregon to the extent of about three quar ters of a million dollars." Hawley declared. The appropriation ap plies to forest roads such as the Santiam highway, he explained. A new bill providing for roads through public lands, such as In dian reservations, and all land not Included in national forests will reduce the county road ex penditures, he said. Whereas now the counties are forced to build arteries through sneh lands ont of their own funds, under the new bill the federal government takes over the work. "This is another measure through which Oregon will benefit to a great extent." Including appropriations made in the last session and allocations of funds from previous legisla tion, Oregon will receive about four and a halt million dollars, Hawley believes. Asked about his campaign he said, "IT! travel over the state extensively campaiguing for the now and then a word for this dis whols republican ticket, adding trict's representative."

Getting nack to the Smoot Hawley tariff bill, Hawley said it has received a favorable recep tion throughout the nation since its ratification. "Over 100 items of Oregon products are affected by the legislation. We didn't get all we wanted on lumber, but at that, it's the first protective tar iff on that product in IT years, and that's something. It's chief value there will be In the fact that It will exclude Soviet lumber, manufactured under a compul sory labor system, from the states." Asked about the wheat situa tion he said wheat Is one of the crops which will benefit by the protective tariff only it produc tion is on par with demand. If a surplus is formed the protection will be negligible, he stated. But on practically all products, espe cially agricultural ones, the tariff will be invaluable, he believes.
