If things -nave to ne sifted down to a final conclusion, it must be that Gellerraan has his heart set on promot ing the prohlbltTonrsr m te rests and that Bradford wanted all alonir to make his fight. It happens that thes-two log ical conclusions are absolutely true, and It is ust as true that the Democratic leaders some of them tried on the one hand to keep Bradford in and on the other to keep Ocmrman out.

Eainbrldge Colby, of New Tork. dis missed the whole Mexican question as a mere "Jack-o'-lantern Issue" In a laudatory address on Voodrow Wilson at the Armory last night. He pictured the President as "a modest, calm, si lent, patient man," agaiinst whom he drew the startling- contrast of Charles Evans Hughes as "this Impoverished hobo of a Presidential candidate," in eearch of a campaign Issue. Incidentally, he took a lusty rap or two at Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, with whom he used to be quite chum my. Indeed, Mr. Colby not long ago admired the Colonel so much that he nominated him at the Progressive Na tional Convention In 1912, and again In 1916. Colonel Is Assailed. Apparently the parting was one of tome bitterness to Mr. Colby, for he scornfully termed "hero worshipers" those Progressives who, with the Colonel, are supporting Mr. Hughes, and he speared the Colonel again and again with sarcastic shafts. . . He referred to him. among other things, as no longer "a Progressive at all, but a repentant Kepublican." He cried that the Colonel's sharp criti cism of the Wilson Administration was "'unjust and inexcusable." This criti cism, he added, "is received by Colonel Iloosevelt's admirers with pain and mortification." He praised President Wilson's han dling of the Mexican situation, and de clared that Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Hughes didn't know Mexico, nor what they were talking about when they dis- cussed it. Colonel llanley rmidea. Colonel "Bill" Hanley, of Burns, who ran for United States Senator two years ago on the Progressive ticket. Intro duced Mr. Colby to the large audience. Judge Samuel White, Democratic state chairman, opened the meeting. In his discussion of Colonel Roose velt Mr. Colby said in part last night: "I had assumed that Colonel Roose velt in his speeches would have some thing to say to. the Progressives, ex plaining his refusal longer to continue the fight for Progressive principles. "You Progressives distinctly, recall his pledge, delivered In 1913, that win or lose, whatever the outcome, I am with you, and I am for this cause, to light to the end." But 1 And that he Is not now a Progressive at all, but a repentant Republican. "He has nothing whatever to. say about the principles to which he gave only a little while ago his pledge of unceasing devotion. He offers no ex cuse -or justification for his abandon ment of the Progressive party, but frankly says that he is working in the Interest of the success of the Repub lican party. "Colonel Roosevelt in his word to the Progressives says he wishes them to do their part in removing 'the moral stain' which Mr. Wilson's Administra tion has fastened upon the country. "There ought to bo some limit to party rancor and personal hate, and I deeply deplore the fact that a man who has rendered such services to the Nation as Colonel Roosevelt should de scend to such vulgar attacks upon a man who is not only loved by his coun trymen but admired by the world as few in our history have been loved and admired. Citing as his reason why he would support President Wilson, Mr. Colby said he did so because "he is In truth the foremost of Progressives. Of the Mexican situation, Mr. Colby said in part: "Mexico is a beautiful country with a picturesque and attractive civiliza tion. It is a universal feeling among travelers to Mexico that It would be a great pity if this distinct and .homely phase of human development should give way to the pressure of our teem ing population and our commercial ag gressiveness. "There are many cultivated and learned men In Mexico, particularly among the young men in the capital city. These men are as choice a set of men as can be found anywhere in the world. They are . deeply sensible of Mexico s misfortunes. They know the history of misgovernment and oppres sion of Mexico, and they are resolved. like the patriots that they are, to re claim Mexico from corruption and op pression, and to lead the people back to the pathways of education and order. "There can be no solution to the Mexican question save only such a solu tion as Mexico works out for herself. Liberty cannot be bestowed upon n lions. It must be achieved by them. And a nation hasia right to the strug gles and sacrifices which are a part of the process of national self-Tealiza tion. Improvement la Believed. "The reason the Mexican problem has been so persistent a problem is because no solution of it has been sought ex cept by force and repression. These measures only operate-u-pon the surface of the problem, and do not' conduct it any nearer a solution. President Wil son recognizes this truth. Every one conversant with Mexico recognises It also. And every student of Mexican affairs, who has approached a- consid eration of Mexico sympathetically and without prejudice, recognises it "Mexico is coming along. Her ex ports to this -country' in the last 10 months have shown a prodigious in crease, and her Imports from this country have doubled. The greater part of Mexico is today tranquil. We read no morer-of attles. The schools are being reopened. The authority of the do facto Government Is recog nized over substantially the whole of Mexico. "How wanton. how unjustifiable. how revolting a thing it would be should we, now that Mexico is con valescent, throw her back once more into disorder and strife by our own armed intervention. "Is it not infinitely more in keeping with American traditions, and with the American character, that we should regard Mexico's struggles along the lathway to, liberty and civil freedom with hopeful indulgence, and with pa tience, and with friendship! "Ms it not obvious that this course will lay the foundation of a genuine friendship on the part of the Mexican for tis, and is it not clear that to all the nations of Central and South Amer ica et ch a policy on our part, will tend strongly to eradicate from the Latin -American mind the fear of our policy and the mistrust of our motives, which no President . and o Administration, prior to this Administration, has been able in any way . to diminish or tor rect?

Wash.. Oct. 12. (Special.) Taken by and large, the Lister and year- the McBrlde drives of the past week have not affected the Gubernatorial sit uation. There Is an outstanding fea ture that the Listerites have-' shown apparent gains in Skagit, Lewis, Yak ima and poeslbly one or two other counties where the Govertior has rid den the so-called prohibition issue to an exhausted finish. But the Lister gains do not prevail generally, nor does it mean that his campaign issue is un usually popular. McBrlde has been campaigning- on the East Side for the most part of the past week, dipping into Snohoralth County during the last two days. It is true that he has-been greeted by large and enthusiastic audiences and that he has left a very good impression. Lliitcrltea WeaRer Tlian Wilson. It is well known in political circles that the Republican forces will drive at Lister during the coming two weeks and that the Listerites will strengthen their offensive just before the general election. So the work of the past week leaves things practlcarfTy as they were. And this Is: McBrlde Is far stronger than his Pres idential candidate (Hughes); and Lister la correspondingly weaker than Presi dent Wilson. Something in the air Indicated at one time during the past week that Lister might have gained, but as the week closed there was a pronounced Hughes gain. How either of the gubernatorial candidates could figure a week's advan tage is beyond explanation, for it seems from a surface showing and a close eramlnatlon that neither of the-two has disturbed conditions materially. Republicans' Gain. Lister Marks Time. One is led to believe from all available reports that McBrlde has the better of the fight to date. - After all. that Is a secondary consideration in analyzing the state fight. The real significance is that the Republican organization has made progress while the Democrats have not. COLVMBUS, C Oct. 16. The official crop report for Ohio. Issned by Secre tary Stauffer of the State Board of Agriculture, shows a shortage on the wheat, oats, rye, corn and potatoes for 1916. The wheat crop is estimated at 18.904,678 bushels, or 11 bushels to the acre, as compared with a crop of 36, 030.238, op 20 bushels to the acre. last year. Thirteen per cent of the crop still is in the hands of the farmers, as v nx mm per cent at mis time in Interested Crowds Gather Aronnd Harancrners, Whose Subjects Cover Wide Range-Automobiles Used as Rostrums. The campaign has reached the hip- hip-hurrah! stage that marks the finish of political contests hereabouts. For the Alder-Btreet canyon last night seethed with street speakers, a sure sign that the voters have been wrought up to the point of campaign madness where they will stand flat footed on the pavement for long periods with their mouths open, drinking in the night air and harking to the more or less convincing arguments of pollti cal spellbinders. It is a form of obsession that over takes the populace just before any vote counting; it is prima facie evidence that the campaign has swung into the final stretch. Political Speakers Active. It arrives every election aeaeon Just after the "if the election were to be held tomorrow" stage. Automobiles at strategic points In the Alder-street chasm were the ros trums of half a dozen political sign posts last night, each pointing the way to certain happiness and prosperity for the Nation. True, they pointed differ ent ways, but everyone who listened oould be suited by choosing the speaker with whom they were in full accord and In this way be satisfied fully with the correctness of the speakers pollti cal counsel. With a placard upon which was dis played a very much bored-looking camel for a background, J. Sanger Fox active worker for the abolition of all oases in the great Oregon desert, urged Mipon his hearers to vote for a total drought. The conventional ana temper amental camel seemed an appropriate argument, too, for what but a camel can live when all the sands are hot and dry. and where drinks are even more than eight days apart? Dry Question Discussed. There were those who had the temer ity to speak right out for the saloon. and to some of these Mr. Fox allowed the use of his rostrum for a few mo ments. One such speaker conolnded his remarks with the explanation, "He's pulling me by the coat," as he looked reproachfully at Mr. Fox and sat down. One suspected that he used these speakers somewhat as a hunter uses decoy ducks. He allowed them to let fly a whole shower of arguments, and then he brought the whole flight to earth with one well-directed shot. Socialist Orator on Job. Representatives 'of the Woman's party farther down the street asked support for those political powers who will favor the Susan B. Anthony amend ment, being the desired Nation-wide suffrage law. A Socialist orator on his soapbox held forth to a considerable group. Nothing that the other speakers said dovetailed at all with his speech, for everything as at present organized was wrong, in his opinion, and he wanted to shatter it all to bits and "remould it nearer to the heart's desire." Farther down the street one could take his choice, for there- were various attractions. A seer with long hair had literature to purvey that explained where hell is and where Cain got his wife. There was also literature in pro phetic vein. " One could take his choice: it all depended upon what topic arrested his interest. On the whole, it was a wild night on Alder street, one that will be duplicated many times between now and the fate ful date of November 7, when so many political fortunes will be decided, when some aspirants will go into the dis card and others will come to the top triumphant. From now on it's open season for street speakers. MALHEUR CONTEST HOT Race for Joint State Senator Also Is Lively VALE, Or, Oct. zl.

Lee were the opponent. Lister would promptly have charged him with full corporate respon sibility for the Attorney-General, Pub lic Service Commission,. Industrial In surance Commission and all other guessable responsibilities. Lister Confidence Waning;. Pages could be wasted in a compari son of conditions between the Lister headquarters of today and -those of Tour years ago where partisans were out working most of the time. The chair - warmers were noticeable four years ago by their absence. They are conspicuous now by their presence. The transition of a chair-warmer to an ac tive worker is along the confidence route, the motorman being Mr. Satis fied. ' As a bedrock fact, two weeks before the election they do not. appear to have the feeling of confidence about the Lister headquarters that they do about McBrlde rooms. If Wilson sweeps the state undoubt edly he will carry Lister with him. If Wilson trickles through or is beaten McBrlde is to be elected, for Lister is weaker than Wilson, while McBrlde is stronger than Hughes. No politician disputes that fact, so it can be accepted as a basis for analyzing present conditions. McBrlde Not In Doubt. It is found that McBrlde from the very beginning and Lister from the same time considered themselves the party nominees. Both anticipated the situation of nomination but with this very (Treat difference: Lister never knew who his opponent might be, while McBrlde always did. Lister bad a vari able set of rules to guide his campaign and was to be governed by the man nominated. -McBride never had to figure on beating anybody save Lister. So in a preparedness campaign McBride had all the advantage. . To consider it closer, suppose that W. J. Sutton had been Lister s Repub llcan opponent- Promptly Lister would have challenged the Cheney State Sena tor to a series of - Joint debates and "Would have demonstrated that he was the better orator and might have con vinced the 'public that he represented all the Sutton issues. Or that the genial and highly compe tent Jim McNeely, of lacoma, got by. Then all the changes would have been rung on McNeely's various political af filiations and his record as a lumber man and a member- of the Legislature, neither of which, it might be remarked parenthetically. McNeely has to apolo gize for, but a politician does not want a record of any kind when be forgets himself and runs for office. Frost might have been attacked as a reactionary; the old Hodge record was available for a fight on Sheriff Bob and it went that way down the line. Lister Plans Made Late. So It happens that McBride. a stub born fact, has plowed along with a full knowledge of what he has to over. come, while Lister, at the last moment, had to plan his campaign. What the difference may be in a nor mal Republican state, where the Re publican nominee outlined his cam paign and where the defensive Demo cratic candidate had to wait until the last minute to plan his then break with his state committee Is something that has political significance. If one wanted to go further into the situation, there Is the story that the Democrats are financing the campaign of James E. Bradford. Progressive can didate for Governor, in the hope he will poll enough Republican votes to win for Lister. There are charges that A. B. L. Gellerman. of Tacoma, the Prohibition nominee, was besiegers, by Democratic leaders who wished him to BAiiLM. Or..
