the International Peace Conference
has given the newspapers hot weather
topic. Notwithstanding the general
assertions that Bryan will be the next
, Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency and Notwithstanding that many
state conventions have already en-
dorsed him for the nomination, there is
still considerable scepticism among
those who do their own thinking. The
New York Sun a few days ago an
nounced in one of it's pungent editorials
that the next Governor of the Empire
State would be a Democrat and the
next Governor of New York would be
the next President of the United
States. 1t was only an editorial of a
dozen lines, but it has set lot of peo-
pie to thinking. OF course Bryan can
not be the next governor of New York.
AS 1t looks now the Democrats are 60
ing to nominate Representative Hearst.
He has said he is not a candidate for
the presidency but has not said he
would not accert nomination. The
New York Republicans, or the factions
of the disorganized Republican party
In that state, are trying to frame their
plans with the sole view of defeating
Hearst. 1t is surprising to see so many
eminent New York Republicans dis
cussing the strength of this radical
aspirant with the voters.
Bryan is expected to figure in the
Congressional campaign, soon after he
lands. and to concentrate the Demo-
cratic ideas of what the issues should
be. On the face of things the Republic
cans should be able to elect the ma
jority in the next House, but they will
have fight. They have decided after
conference with President Roosevelt
at Oyster Bay to stand pat on the tariff
and on the record of Roosevelt and the
recent Congress. Representative Gr'ggs,
chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, says the is
sues of his party will be tariff revision
and labor. The Democrats say that
Roosevelt has stolen their clothes and
they are going to harp on that in the
campaign.

SIZING UP
OUR TRADE

w. A. Mesrs. secretary Of the oregon
Wholesale Grocers' Association. who
was designated as the special delegate
Of the Portland merchants to the Hh-
wai,an Islands, to drum up trade. ar
rived on the Sonoma yesterday
The determination OF the Portland
merchants to take this step came at
the time the Matson steamer Hilonian
departed from Portland for Honolulu
on the last trip. There was a gather
ing of merchants In the cabin on the
occasion Of dinner given them by
Captain johnson and they decided that
the possibility OF establishing trade re-
lations was worth visit by one Of
their number and Mr.. Mears was Sc
lected. Before leaving for Honolulu
Mr. Mears outlined the reasons for the
trip as follows:
AS for my trip to Hawaii. 1 am go
ing as the delegate of the merchants OF
Portland. and have my credentials
made out as secretary of the trans
portation committee of the Chamber
Of Commerce, and as the representa-
tive of the local merchants. shall
thoroughly investigate the wants of the
islanders and ascertain what commodi-
ties they have which may be of use TO
us. 1t will be my purpose In every
way possible to instil into the mer-
chants of the islands the fact that
Portland is well able to satisfy many
Of their wants. and that our country
is ready and willing to open trade re
lations on a broad scale, with the Ter
ritory of Hawaii.
"This is no mean task, for the is
landers have been looking toward San
Francisco as the base Of their sup
plies for over 30 years, and to turn
the tide of trade elsewhere will require
considerable effort on the part OF the
local merchants. After visiting Homo
lulu. l shall go to Hilo, and continue
the same line there. as we want the
whole territory to know of Oregon's
