FAVOR TO AMERICA.
Queen Mary TO Be GOdmOther of Adj
miraT Beatty's Son.

London, Nov. I.-That impression
which has gained prevalence here and
in the United States. that Americans will
not receive the same amount of favor
at the Court of George V as they die at
that of his predecessor. will be somewhat
dissipated now that Queen Mary has con-
sented to be godmother 10 the baby
which is expected in the family of Ad-
miral David Beatty, whose wife is the
daughter of the late Marshall Field. of
Chicago.
This mark of favor is all the more
notable because Mrs Beatty already has
had one marriage dissolved by the di-
voree court, and she was not the petit
toner in the suit. Queen Mary is gen
orally credited with holding ali the
austere views OF the late Queen Victoria
as TO the position of such women in court
society.
However. King George and Admiral
Beatty are old shipmates and great
friends. Admiral Beatty is the youngest
admiral In the navy. being only thirty
four years old, and is also prominent in

Many Hood River people take
their lives 10 their hands by neglect
ing the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount OF
suffering and i'll health, but there IL
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by tire use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
j. G. Bucklsr, uf Il Ninth st, Port.
iaLd, Ore, say: ''In my estimation
there IL no remedy equal to Doan's
Kidney Pills. There was a constant
soreness across the small of my back
and STOPPING or lifting would cause
sharp twinges In that part of my
body. tried one remedy after an,
other but without result. When
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
my attention, procu ed a supply aud
was benefited by them from the iil st.
| Continued their use aud they soon
completely removed the pain from
my back and corrected the action OF
the kidney secretion, which had been
somewhat irregulai." Plenty more

LOCAL men TALK
ON ASSEMBLY PLAN

The Oregonlan asst week ooptsiued
ent Republ leans over the state on
the proposed assembly Tor the Repub.
licans. Among the politicians talked
to we're six local men of whom, ex-
cept l.. N. Blowers, were In favor OF
the assembly. The gentlemen ex.
pressed themselves to the Oregonian
as follows:
h. L. Smith, am heartily In favor
of y deserving the integrity OF tue
Republican party and therefore in-
dorse emphatieslly the assembly ~
any other plan that will consider the
merits Of and recommend suita ble
persons ss candidates of that party.
This opinion applies with equal force
to the Democratic party, two strong
political parties being essential to
best government.
L.. N. Blowers, eN.United States
Marshall think that al assembly OF
self appointed delegates would be- the
best thing that could happen fer the
Democrats, but as Republican am
opposed to 1t.
A. A. Jayne, ex-State RepI Iesenta-
| tive--As a Republican who believes
in the principles and maintenance of
the party | am in favor of the assem-
bly,. believe that 1t is not only ad-
visable but necessary tor the welfare
| of the organization. l cant see that
there is anything In the spirit of the
letter of the primary law IN opposition
to it, or there is anything in the
assembly plan that is menace to the
primary law. AS to the mode of
selecting Delegates that can he deter
mined later. believe that the
county assemblies should ne held
first.
Charles L. Early, state committee
man--Thers Certaiuly should be no
objection to the assembly. 1he plan,
as 1 understand it, would In every
way be representative. We must have
Ii method of maintaining Republi-
oan party organization, selecting our
candidates and knowing whom we
are voting tor and why. The most
logical course to pursue, think,
would be to hold the county assembly
first.
j. l.. Carter, State Repi esent tative
FROM what | have read of the pro-
posed assemblies, | am favorable to
them. l believe they can be held
without any violation OF the direct
primary law and are necessary to the
integrity OF the party Ihe manner
of selecting delegates | an willing to
leave in the hands of the party |
leaders, to be determined later.
z. s. Davidson can't see any.
thing Objectionable In the assemblies.
As proposed, they will provide the
proper means of stimulating and |
keeping the organization intact. Act
ing in a suggestive capacity to the
Repub ioan voters Of the state, they
will tend to keep party lines distinct
and bring out the best ami most
suitable candidates.. am not pre-
pared to say just how the delegates
shuold be selected. | believe 1t
w)utd be advisable to hold the
county assembly first.
