may get their fingers burned If they
start playing with local political
matches. So they adopt the natural
policy of avoiding official commit
ments while working very actively on
the Inside to attain the desired re
sults. President Roosevelt Is proving him
self wiser In that game, so far, than
most of his predecessors.
The president has found several
ways of letting local voters know
who his candldatea are without In
dulging In open Indorsement.
The latest example of that Is In
the handling of the republican pro
gressive friends of the administra
tion. You can write It down In your
hat right now that Mr. Roosevelt
will not openly Indorse Senators La
Follette, Cutting, et al, as long as
they have democratlo opponents. He
cannot do It because he would get
Into trouble with his local demo
cratic organizations.
His feeling la that the republican
progressives are his friends. He would
like to see them elected. He cannot
openly Indorse them, as long as they
are opposed by democrats or by other
progressives who are also his friends.
All he can do 1 help them ln
' directly by Inside pressure and by
public hints for Instance, In the way
he once patted Senator Tom Con
nolly on the back In a warm display
of friendship ' before a number of
Texas callers at the White House.
' The best example of the way the
system works can be 'told 'by the
inside story of what happened m
Ohio during the last few days.
Democratic Governor White had
announced as candidate for the sen
ate. All was quiet on the beautiful
Ohio. Then ex-Governor Vic Donahey
Jumped Into the race against White
for the democratic senatorlsl nom-

name, making It a three-cornered
race.
No one around the White House
has said anything publicly, and prob
ably no one will, but you do not
need a spyglass to see who the White
House favors In that race.
What happened on the Inside In
tne unio snuwun ,uiu
was this:
The administration was quite con

democratic senatorial nominee, In the

talk about White's failure to release
his delegation to Roosevelt earlier at

it was not serious. At least, rosi-master-General

Reports of growing discontent In the
agricultural areaa over failure of dis
putants to end the disastrous water
front strike here continued to reach
Portland today as the harbor tie-up

Critical viewpoints of the strike
condition are being taken by Pendle

PORTLAND, Ore.. June 30. (AP)
Portland's predicted gasoline and
fuel oil drought had failed to ma
terialize In proportions predicted
earlier In the week when the water
front strike halted discharge of oil
tanker cargoes.
Hal Marchant, representative of
the International Seamen's associa
tion, termed the reporta of an im
pending shortage a "gag to discredit"
the maritime strikers before the pub
lic. Fuel oil and oasoline In large quan
tities waa reaching Portland by rail
and truck, It waa learned.
With eight or nine policemen for
every worker, more wool was unload
ed today from freight cara at termi
nal No. 4 by about a dozen men.
The tanker Tejon, which skipped
out of the harbor with a non-union
crew about two weeks ago, slipped
back today and commenced discharg
ing 75,000 barrels of fuel oil at ter
minal No. 4. The oil will be handled
by rail for out-of-town trade, It waa
declared.
Five picket were arrested when
they attacked an oil truck driver
hurrying to Swan Island airport. Un
ion officials declared the attack re
sulted from mistaken identity.
Matt Meehan, member of the In
ternational Longshoremen's executive
board, denied reports that police
"forced back" picket lines yesterday.
"We had reinforcements there and
forced the police to either negoti
ate with us or show their colors,"
cMehan said-r viThey chose to nego
tiate, and asked us what wo wanted.
We asked only for the three picket
posts of 20 men each, but they'd have
given us 1000 men if we asked."

WASHINGTON, June 30. (AP)
Despite President Roosevelt's avowed
plan of making no political speeches
en route to or from Hawaii, it was
pleasant news to Democratlo repre
sentatives und senator, from-the Pa
clflo northwest when it leaked out
that the president expected to land
In Portland, about August 1, and
visit the Bonneville and Grand Cou
lee dams, now under construction on
the Columbia river.
Although nothing official has been
given out, it was learned In con
gressional corridors that the presi
dent at present plans to land in
Portland and after a short address
at the dock, drive by automobile to
Bonneville, where he expects to make
his first formal address en route east
from Hawaii.
After Inspecting Bonneville, the party
wilt go to the Orand Coulee dam-
site In north central Washington,
to inspect that project, it was re
ported. Rumors seeping out from Demo
cratic national headquarters say the
presidential party will then return
to the middle west over the Great
Northern railroad through the north
ern tier of states.
While the plana were pleasing to
Oregon and Washington members,
who believe the mere presence of the
president will aid in their campaign
for re-election, Idaho and Utah rep
resentatives and senators would have
been more pleased had Mr. Roosevelt's
route followed farther southv and

Later.
Gordon L. flchermerhorn, former
sheriff of Jackson county, came to
the end of his legal trail yesterday
and must serve at least six months
of his three-year prison sentence for
conviction of ballot theft conspiracy.
Upon motion of defense counsel, the
attorney general and district attor
ney offices concurring, Circuit Judge
George F. Skipworth announced that
he would recommend a conditional
pardon at the expiration of six
months' penal servitude lor the aged
pioneer resident. Schermerhorn,
through counsel, withdrew his appli
cation for a parole hearing.
Schermerhorn was granted a stay
of execution of commitment to state
prison for 14 days to enable him to
put his personal affairs in order.
The court ordered that the recom
mendation for a conditional pardon
accompany the commitment papers.
Schermerhorn, under the court rul
ing, will enter prison July 15, his
present bonds continued until then,
Assistant Attorney General Ralph
E. Moody, representing the state of
Oregon, concurred in the recommen
datlon for a conditional pardon "with
the distinct understanding he does
not apply for a pardon in the mean
time." District Attorney George A. Cod
ding, for Jackson county, acquiesced,
From the bench, at the close of
his remarks, Judge Skipworth said:
"It is my advice to you, Mr. Scher
merhorn, that you go up to Salem,
and serve your time, like the man
that you are, and come back with
your head up, and you will have the
respect of the citizens of Jackson
county and this court."
Schermerhorn arose and said in re
ply: "I have never flinched yetP
Attorney John A. Collier of Port

The court, in accepting the condi

herence to It, said:
"It was nnfortuntae for Mr. Scher
merhorn that he was ever elected
sheriff of Jackson county. He then
formed an alliance with Earl Pehl
and others. This proved his undo

and It was never Intended that he
should be otherwise. He was a pas

announcement he had signed It.
One of the broadest acts yet passed
for the relief of any class of debtors,
the bill would allow debt-burdened
farmers a five-year moratorium If
they were unable to reach a satisfac
tory arrangement with their credit
ors. Mr. Roosevelt approved the bill on
June 38 but he delayed announcing
his action so he could explain his rea
son for signing it,
"There has -been a serious lack of
understanding of its provlsioni," Mr.
Roosevelt said, "and it has been al
leged that Insurance companies and
other mortgagees will suffer severely
through the use of this law by farm
ers to evade the payment of debts
within their capacity to meet.
"I do not subscribe to these tears.
"X have sufficient faith in the hon
esty of the overwhelming majority of

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal.; June
20. Ami thev lav to rest Jim
my Wcddcll, lie died aa a sol
dier in tho discharge 01 nis
duty, for he was teaching some
body olsc how to fly. When
you realize aviation is tho
greatest advancement in our
times, and America is spending
tho most money, yet our wholo
government, whole army, whole
navy, had to wait to see now
fast they could fly, till Jimmy
Wdrlr.1l (throutrh his own Vcr-
sonality and personal honesty
got financial backing lrom a
generous and public-spirited
Mr'. Williams! would malto the
plane.
Who knows but what avia
tion might not be permanently
set back 100 miles an hour,
through tho loss of this, fellow
with the knowledge that was
buried with himt
Such men should be grabbed
up at once and put into our
government service. He hud
one thing that was in kecpins
with all great aviators and that
was his modesty.
