Government ’<’en r’are -W ashington, D. C., July 11.— Chief political question in the na tional capitol is w hether Franklin Delano Roosevelt will accept the nomination for president a t the Chicago convention next week, and who is his preference for vice- president.- While it is generally assumed th a t Mr. 'Roosevelt will not refuse the nomination, still there is a, considerable body of politicos in and Out of the admin istration who would not be sur- pri.-ed if he declines. Principal argum ent against his nomination is th a t it would be for a third term , and th is is recpgniz-’ ed as a handicap. However, no one but Mr. Roosevelt will make the decision, and it is believedtthat if he refuses thé reason he will give is th a t the two-term tradi tion should be respected; (Democratic delegates from Ore gon and W ashington are prepared to do w hat ever Mr. Roosevelt de sires. These deligates are pledg ed to his nomination and should he refuse to be a candidate.and indicate another for the honor, the northw est group will be deliv ered according to his wish. This U also true with regard for a choice for vice-president. ♦ * » No other president ever had su(h complete control of a party convention. (Ml will not be sweetness and light, however, for there will be a small minority ready to voice criticism of the p?r- ty chief. Spearhead of this group is Montana’s Burton K. W lu J a r , who has no chance at all yet will have his name submitted. He is expected later to bolt the conven tion and head a third party com peted of those who fear the Re publican and Democratic parties may lead the country to w?r. Assuming Mr. Roosevelt accen' the nomination (insiders say Ur while he may have planned not to run, the nomination of WiUkie the Republicans constitutes a challenge he m ust not ignore) hi's choice for a running mate is im portant. , As Senator Charles L McNpry, Republican nominee foi v.ce-president, is from the far west and a leading farm cham pion, Mr. Roosevelt wants "someone to pffset the Oregon senator. Ten tative choice is William Douglas, who received p a rt of his education fn the WaNa Walla country Recently the president appointed Douglas to the supreme court. As judge, Douglas isn’t particularly happy on the bench (there is not enough action for his restless spirit), it may not require much argum ent from Mr - Roosevelt tc jpdyee Doublas to resign from the court and be a candidate. (Charles Evans Hughes was a member of the supreme court when he was nominated in 1916. There is also a possibility that Senator Jimmy Byrnes of South Caiolina may receive the nod for vice-president. Byrnes has •' been handling the president’s legisla- tiop ip the senate for several years ana is very capable. « * W guch a shortage of linen is de veloping th at E. R. Stettinius Jr., pf the national defense advisory commission will encourage expan sion of the flax acreage in the W illamette valley for next year. Current area in flax is 6,000 acres, estim ated to produce 14,000 pounds. Acreage is expected to be increased to 9,000 acres at least. It is ^his necessity qf providing commodities usually imported th at is causing northw estern senators and representatives to urge that ndneral resources be developed. This applies especially to chrom ite, manganese and magnesium, >11 of which are available In Ore gon and W ashington. Secretary of Interior Ickes is now studying a proposal for a n itrate fixation plant some where in the Columbia river area, using electricity from Bonneville. This would be p a rt of the program for the m anufacture 'o f propellants, a n d .th e powder • plant could be located almost any where. » O fficial Ooonfty Paper Army Officer Will B iy Horses Spring W heat Hurt I: is the spring wheat th at has taken the heaviest depreciation in the past hot spell. It began, as usual, in the north end and fields turned from green to gray and the kernals shriveled into nothing ness. This did not, of course, happen all over the county but nearly every field has some spots th at have cured standing ' and nearly all the grain has been Shriveled to some extent. How much the yield is reduced cannot be known. Estimates run from a q u arter ta a half and both may be right* when applied to a certain field. Word from the Remount service to W. tC.
