Campaigns For 1926
Convention.
Portland, Or., July 13. (AP)
Politics blossomed this morning
when delegates gathered at the
Elks temple for the one day meet
ing of the Oregon state Elks as
sociation and the name of E. M.
Page of Salem for president and
Eugene for the 1926 convention
city was passed about the hall.
No objection to the selection of
Page and Eugene had developed
at noon. Milton R. Klepper, exalt
ed ruler of Portland lodge, was
being boomed for first vice pres
ident. The session was opened by an
invocation delivered by John Dy-
eart or Jamestown, N. Y., chap-
lain of the grand lodge. John G.
Price, exalted ruler of the grand
lodge, delivered the opening ad
dress and an address of welcome
was delivered by Klepper.
Thework of the Elks of New

could aptly be made the work of
the Oregon association, said J. G.
Buch, a member of the grand
lodge committee on state associa
tions nnd chairman of the New
Jersey state Elks association crip
pled kiddies committee.
"The Elks of New Jersey," said
Buch, "are making crippled chil
dren into whole and healthy men
and women. Here you have your
Shrine hospital for crippled chil
dren, but there Is still plenty of
room among them to keep the
Oregon Elks busy all the year."
President Ben S. Fisher of
Marshfield reviewed the past
year's activities. He said It was
the first year which the state as
sociation had attempted to do any
constructive work, the meetings
before last year's being merely for
fun. He told of the activities of
the various 21 lodges In flag day
celebration, constitution day ob
servations, enforcements of boy
scout and Junior Elks organiza
tions, Americanization work par
ticipation by the state lodges in
the national convention and work
among boys parol led from the
state reform school.
