States Should Hold Pri-
mary On Same Day
MUCH CHEAPER AND
LESS DISTURBING
The General Denies That Large Sums
4 Are Expended In His Campaign =
People Interested In Reducing the
High Cost of Living.

NEW YORK, May S-When Maj Gen.
Leonard Wood had brought about har-
mony between Colonel Proctor, chairman
of the General Wood national campaign
committee and Frank H. Hitchcock, gem
eral manager, on his recent visit to the
Neity, he said that he had become thor
oughly convinced that reform was needed
in the country's primary election laws.
A national primary law was imperative,
he said, so that each state would hold its
primary on the same day.
'Such SYSTEM he added, would tend
to create less disturbance of public bust
ness and would greatly reduce expenses. !"
General Wood said that he was pleased
with the progress of his campaign and
that he had no doubt of his nomination
at Chicago. Speaking of reports that large
sums of money We're spent in his behalf,
he declared that the reports were untrue.
There haven't been any large funds
that / know Of he said. There are
no large corporations behind us, and |
know of no unusual expenditures. If any
/ have | feel sorry for him.
He said that the things which impressed
him most during his campaigning were
the interest in lowering the cost of liv-
ing and the apparent lack of interest in
the league of nations.
The people are tired of hearing about
the war;" he said, but they are intensely
interested in the high cost of living and
how to reduce the price of potatoes from

me was the feeling of the people toward
the memory of Theodore Roosevelt.

dwelt upon the need Of vocational tram

| the desirability that disabled men them
selves should have representation on the
federal board central committee.
Men who are entitled to training be
cause of disability should be admitted to
| the training schools, he said All federal
employment bureaus should be charged
with the responsibility of finding ade-
| quate employment for these men,.
| General Wood said he was also trying
to make it clear that it would be Of value

in other work could give the country the
benefit OF their experience.

The campaign to raise 100000 for

well under way. All Of the prelimin-
airy organization work has been com
pleted and about next week the actual
canvass for funds will be undertaken.
This undertaking is backed by the
Laymen's Association of the Oregon
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church and funds will, naturally, come
chiefly from members of that denOm
ination. However, as others have in
the past given generously to the fine
old institution which for rs years has
been steadily turning out men and
women whose lives have gone far
toward making the great Northwest

case in this effort adequately to H.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY

Large Endowment.

According to A. F. Flegel, chairman

lamette University, there is excellent
reason to believe that, if friends OF
the old school In the Northwest sub
scribe $100,0Q0 for its immediate
needs, others who are watching the
| progress of the institution and ara
but waiting to see what is done now,
will come forward and make large
contributions that will go to make the
university a very much larger one
before two or three years have gone
by.
The 100000 which the laymen of
the Oregon conference are now seek
ing is for the immediate restoration
Of Waller hall for men; completion of
Lausanne hall the womens dormi-
tory, and heating plant.
With these Improvements, which

present basis. Should there follow
large gifts, as predicted by Mr.. Flegel,
Of course a number of other buildings
would be constructed and the entire
activity Of the school would be greatly
enlarged
The active canVassing for funds
probably will be undertaken about
next week. From all over the state
have come to the members OF the
