. Chicago, June 8. Flattened In ev

Ilepubllcan national committee by the
operation ot the steam roller, Roose
velt leaders here this afternoon, con
vinced that ajl of tho contests to
come up except one that of the Wash
iugton state djlegates will be decid
ed In favor of Taft, began prepara
tions to get control of the national
convention for Colonel Roosevelt.
Fifteen reports of as many states,
where Roosevelt Is believed to 'be the
strongest with the people, conferred
at the congress hotel and elected Wil
liam Flynn, of Pittsburg, chairman of
the meeting, and Frank Knox, of
Michigan, secretary. The gathering
decided to at once round up every del
egate, regardless of whether he Is In
structed, in an endeavor to whip them
into line for Roosevelt. Each partici
pant in the meeting was told that the
only hope Roosevelt now had was to
get Individual delegates to agree to
OREGON HOTEL
TO BECOME
FOR "MADE
Products of Oregon Industries to Be Given Some Recognition
on Hotel Menu Cards Best Way to Advertise the State
and Help the Home Merchant and the Home Manufacturer
State Institutions Will He reafter Spend State Funds for
Marie in Oregon Products Great Campaign Organized.
No class of men can do so much to advertise Oregon and give their pat
rons a favorable Impression of our state as being a good place to make h
vestsments as (he hotel keepers.
There Is no more profitable business today than a well-kept hotel, and
there is no beter way to make a hotel business successful and profitable
than to constantly appeal to stale pride.
With the finest summer and winter climate In the world, with the choic
est fruits and vegetables, and finest line of supplies for setting tho table,
Oregon hotel keepers are booster.
But when their tables are stocked three times a day with the products
of Eastern manufactures, even supplied with bread made from EaBtern
flour, (hey are constantly advertising against Oregon.
We are asking every hotel man In Oregon to go through his store room,
look over his dining room, go through his sleeping rooms, and se If he can
not make room for mora Oregon prodcts.
This Is a patriotic duty you owe to (lie state where you uiuke money.
Oregon hotels owe a duty to the stute In he matter os using Made lu
Oreiroa products on their tabli.
The bill of fare of every hotel In the Btate should have one or more Items
on the menu card "Made In Oregon.'"
The dining cars on the rallronds running through Oregon often have
"Oregon mutton chops" on the bill of fare.
There Is no reason why Oregon prunes, Oregon strawberries, Oregon
pickles and preserves, Oregon rolled oats, and Oregon made coffee should
lt have mention ou the hotel programs of eatables.
It would stimulate state pride and show to the travelers from other
states that Oregon people are proud of their Industries.
Any Oregon hotel should use and give preference to pickles, baking pow
der, crackers macaroni, Oregon made cigars, If they wish to fater t Ore.
(ton trade, and (ret the. hnslne of Oregon people.
That spirit will do more to bring Investors here to buy lands, and to es
tablish new industries, than all other state advertising we can do.
M.VDE IX OREGON BANQUET.
At Portland one day last week the Ad. Men's Club had a banquet at the
new Multnomah Hotel, where the entire hill of fare was Made in Oregon.
It was one of the finest spreads that ever wen sat aowa to, all the eat
ables, drinkables and smokablea were made in Oregon.
Oregonlans themselves were surprised that an entire meal. Including the
(Coottna4 o
vote sustaining the national commit
tee's temporary roll,
Flynn declared that the national
committee would oust every Roosevelt
contestant. He declared that if Presi
dent Taft got every contestant his ma
jority would not exceed 25, and urged
every one at the meeting personally
to Influence delegates so this margin
i would be overturned when the con
vention meets.
The Taft leaders held a-meeting at
the same time. Congressman McKln
ley telephoned to William H. Barnes,
,Jr., of New York, that Flynn had
boasted that Roosevelt would get 34
of New York's delegate on roll call,
'and that this would upset the national
j committee's work. He told Barnes to
j "Btlffen up" the delegates, and urged
jBarneB to come here as soon as pos
sible. j The Roosevelt men this afternoon
Slarted a whirlwind battle to capture

APPOINTS
F. II. CURTIS
, UNDER THE LAW THERE MUST
! BE A SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE PENITENTIARY AND WAR
REX CURTIS IS APPOIXTED
BENGEX IS MADE WARDEN.
Assigning aB his reason that the
statute provides that all claims
against the penitentiary, before be
ing audited by the secretary of state
shall be certified to by the superin
tendent, Governor West today ap
pointed F. H. Curtis, who has been
serving as warden, superintendent of
the inatltution.
Superintendent Curtis has appoint
ed John J. Bengen, who has been
serving in the capacity ot assistant
warden, to the position of warden.
He declared that there would be no
further changes.
Governor West Is absent from the
city today, and could not be seen
with relation to the subject.
Doubting the legality of bills being
presented to iiiin without being cer
tified to by the superintendent Sec
retary of State Olcott recently asked
the attorney general to render an
opinion on the subject. Two ques
tions were put up to him as to
whether It was necessary for the
superintendent to certify to claluiB
for supplies and the payroll, and he
replied In the negative.
It develops, however, that there
are a number of items, such as re
wards for the apprehension of crim
inals, the expenses Incident to their
capture, and the paying out ot $5 to
each discharged convict, and other
matters that the superintendent must
certify to. When these bills came up
before the stute purchasing board
they declined to approve them as
they were not certified to by the sup
erintendent, and the result was the
appointment of Curtis as superlnten
dent.
MANY BUILDINGS TO
GO I P IX OAKS ADDITION
Mrs. Joale L. Stewart was yester
da Issued a building permit at No.
1045 N. Capitol street, to construct a

dition, which have been withdrawn
from Bale, and on which they expect

houses this summer and the remain
der of them will be built this fall

stctlon of the city.
Portland is to have a plant for the
preparation of rubber. It will refine
the rag material and will make re
pair work a specialty.

WHEN SALEM'S BEST PEOPLE,

DIPLOMAS.
The school year just closed has
been a very successful one In Sulcm,
and the big class of 1912 graduating
from the high school Is abundant and
pleasing evidence of the fact. The
enrollment In Salem' high school for
the year was 645 240 boys and 305
girls and the average dally attend
ance was exceptionally high.
The big assembly room was crowd
ed last night with friends and relativ
es of the young graduates, and the
fine program as given in yesterday's
Capital Journal was carried out cpleu
dldly. As the members of theclaBa, In
turn, rose to receive the well-earned
diplomas, there was generous applause
given and down in the hearts ot the
big audlonce a wealth of good wishes
felt, that could not be expressed.
The Journal, however, Is mote for
tunate, and so can express for each
and every one of the young graduates,
both for Itself and Its host of readers,
the most heartfelt good wishes, and
the hope that the lives of each may
continue to be as rosy and bright as
they seemed on graduation day.
