DECLARES GASOLINE
 SHORTAGE ON COAST
 IS SM|SREPRESENTED

Glaring mistaments as to the gaso- line situation in California are being put out by financial interests mem bers of the chamber of commerce re- ported confidentially yesterday to the Secretary on their return from the coast Some are having their automo- biles shipped bac kto Arizona by rail.
 Those returning confirm earlier re- ports receiver by the chamber of com merce from members stalled in south ern California who reported they were at the mercy of profiteers because of the gas shortage.
 A telegram reached the chamber of commerce from Los Angeles financial sources which might indicate that there was nothing wrong in southern California and that gas was to be had. although the telegram is reported as lacking in sense due to indefinite wording.
 One member said that automobiles were being shipped back to Arizona to escape the ravishments of outlandish prices inflicted upon tourists through the medium of the gas famine. One member said he placed no credence in the report from oil circles that the shortage was justifiable. He said it was the common and accepted opinion that gasoline will advance in southern California August l, on which date the gas shortage "as framed" will be end-
 
 the common opinion that there was large storage of oil and that the pres ent shortage was considered an at tempt to drive the small dealer from the field.
 A member stated that automobiles stand in line two blocks long before station and are allotted only two gal Ions to the car when finally served. He said the trouble was all south of Fl Cajon pass, or in the southern Califor nia counties Los Angeles and San Diego especially. He said there was plenty of gas between Barstow and Phoenix, territory which is supplied with gasoline from the east at 35 cents q gallon as a retail basis. The price in Southern California is 24 cents a gallon with an anticipated advance to B cents a gallon August 1, when there will be an abundance of gas for sale for all purposes, he said. This. as eX- plained. will "equalize'' prices and bring about good times for the mo- torists.
 z It was reported at the chamber of commerce yesterday that the Standard Oil company of California will publish in its bulletin released next Monday comprehensive statement on the gaso- line situation. This bulletin will state, pany has done heroic work in saving crops from burning up by rushing to the pumping plants with all dispatch gasoline to meet the crying needs for fuel. It will say this was done upon the $. O. s. call of the Madeira cham Der of commerce. The bulletin will explain thoroughly why gasoline is up and that the company warned the pub lie months ago that it was going up.

CEMPAINoNING IN THE '4os

tNeW Ork sum
 Back in the early days of the repub- lie, eighty and more years ago, it was considered a fine idea to decnFate lei ter paper with the portraits of presr- dental candidates. Tn this way the letter writer showed not only his pref erence but tried to influeice his cor respondents for his candidate. A fine example of this sort of political propa- ganda was unearthed recently in New York. It dates back to 1S40, when Will liam Henry Harrison was running for President on the Whig ticket against Martin Van Buren, Democrat.
 The letterhead shows the two sides of the gold medal awarded by congress to General Harrison for his services in the war of 1872. The picture to the left shows a medallion portrait of Gen. eral Harrison, while the one at the right depicts the Goddess of Liberty, armed with a spear, placing wreath of laurel on an Indian tepee. This lat ter was intended as a compliment to the general for his success in fighting against the British and Indians.
 Under the pictures of the two sides of the medal is a copy of the resolution of congress conferring the medals on General Harrison and Isaac Shelby late governor of Kentucky" The let terhead is neatly engraved.
