THE SUNDAY OHEGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 26, 1920 BUSINESS STABILITY IS URGED BY HARDiG Industrial Chaos Held Invited by Administration. MEDDLING IS CHARGED Accusations of Democratic Kxlrav agance and Mismanagement Kelterated by Senator. MARION', O., Sept. 25. An adminis trative policy to stabilize financial conditions and "make the American jrovernment the friend and partner of American business" was proclaimed bv Senator Harding today in a front porch speech to a delegation of travel ing: salesmen. Charging that the present adminis tration had invited Industrial chaos by meddling; and experimentation, the republican nominee declared he wanted "it explicitly understood that my elec tion to the executive office mearrs a complete change from the one-man policy which has characterized our national government during the past seven years." He also reiterated his accusations of democratic extravagance and mis management in the expenditure of public funds and asserted his purpose to reorganize many departments of the federal government on an efficient and economical basis. In that task, he said, he would summon the coun sel of the ablest administrators of the country. Laree Crowd l'hr Nominee. One of the largest crowds of the front porch campaign heard the npeech and cheered the nominee many times as he contrasted his business policies with those of the Wilson ad ministration. Arriving on several special trains, the delegation marched to the Hard ing residence, -howling a tumultuous greeting to the nominee, and. with h .!! r,f tlie Columbus Republican Cllee club, two bands and three cheer? leaders, serenaded him for hair an hour with campaign songs and patri otic airs. attributable to the tremendous fffort belns made to sell.

Pier, chairman of the Harding-Coolidge Traveling Men's bureau, la actively at work organiz ing the campaign which the traveling men are conducting for the repub lican national ticket. Mr. Pier Is working in co-operation with the republican state central committee and has reported that the traveling men are practically united for Hard ing and Coolidge. "The traveling men have not for gotten how heavily they were hit when the Wilson administration was inaugurated and when Mr. Wilson's psychological panic greatly reduced their earning nnwer nnd nraetieallv 'cut off the incomes of traveling men who were working on commissions. They had hard sledding until the United States entered the war- and the period of Inflation began." Mr. Pier was invited to attend traveling men's day at Marlon, O., and telegraphed Mr. Harding as follows: "Am sorry cannot be in Marion on traveling men's day. Will be there Is spirit. The traveling men of Ore gon are working enthusiastically to roll up a big majority for the repub lican ticket in November.' 150 OF BIST - BEUHfTED VETERAXS LiIYT3 AGAIX ANNI VERSARY OF BAPTISM OF FIRE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 Resolu tions demanding that congress enact laws providing for the cancelling of the citizenship papers of Americans who go to foreign countries "to en gage in business outlawed in this country," were adopted today by the American section of the World Prohi bition federation, meeting here in conjunction with the International Congress Against Alcoholism. The resolutions also asked that such persons be deprived of the pro tection of the American government and that so far as possible they be restrained from representing them selves as Americans.

"thereby giving a wrong impression of the attitude" of the American peo ple toward the liquor business. 1h !nt there were many banners pledging support. Several of the mottoes referred to Governor Cox's alleged attitude toward business and traveling salesmen, one of the larg est reading "Traveling men Jimmie Cox's 'parasites'; Harding's 'business ambassadors.' " Franklin Delegation Arrives. A delegation of republicans from Franklin county. Ohio, arrived in the midst of the serenade and made a noisy contribution to the demonstra tion. J. J. Kazar of Bloomington, 111., was spokesman for the salesmen, who came under the auspices of the Hard ing and Coolidge Traveling Men's league. In a short address to Sen ator Harding he declared the league would bend its efforts everywhere to ward republican victory. He also suggested that a representative of the traveling salesmen should hold membership on the interstate com merce commission. In reply, the sen ator said the salesmen "ought to be represented in the federal govern ment." They are an important factor In Industrial life." Leaden. Confer AVIth Senator. Most of the senator's day was given over to receiving the salesmen and to conferences wtth their leaders, but he also had short talks with Senator Hale of Maine, Representative Kahn of California and Maurice Connelly, ex-democratic representative from Iowa.- Senator Hale, one of the mild reservation group, issued a statement saying th people of this state had shown in the recent state election that they never will 'stand for the covenant of the league of nations in its present form or in any other form that does not adequately and com pletely safeguard the rights and sov ereignty of this country." Mr. Kahn, who is chairman of the house military committee, said he had only stopped over a few minutes on his way east to make campaign speeches for Harding and Coolidge. He predicted that California would go republican by 200.000. TRAVELING MEN INDIGNANT BIRTHDAY CAKE STOLEN i Thieves Enter Home of Mrs. C. H. Taylor During Her Absence. A birthday cake was the principal item in the list of things stolen from the home of Mrs. C. H. Taylor, 519 East Fiftieth street North, -by persons who entered the building while Mrs. Taylor was downtown yesterday. The cake was intended for a party which had been planned for Mrs. Taylor's four-year-old daughter. The cake had been decorated with four candles. Mrs. Taylor left the kitchen door open while she went out to buy a present for the little girl. Nothing else of much value was taken. Inspectors Nlles and Horak suspect that the theft was committed by small boys. Salutations From Seattle and San Francisco and Germany Read to Assembly. Two years ago veterans of the 91st division, recruited from the Pacific coast, moved from the friendly shel ter of woods in the rear to face their baptism of fire iri the Argonne. One hundred and fifty survivors of that crack "wild west" outfit which won laurels, still fresh in the memory of Americans, gathered at the Univer sity club last night their first reunion. Memories, joyous and sad. inter mingled as "buddies" embraced for the first time and lived again the days when young America was bat tling for the freedom of the world. There were po vacant chairs, but a deep hush fell upon the assemblage, and many a tear sprang unbidden to the eye when a silent toast was called for to the memory of the com rades who remained on the fields of France and Belgium. The memorial address of- Colonel William U. lavls. commander of the 361st infantry, delivered in Belgium October 27. 1S18. three days before his own death in action, was read by Jacob Kanzier, toautmaster of the evening. ... Cabled from Germany were the greetings of Colonel William H. Johnston, former general in com mand of uhe 91st, read to the assem bly. Salutations from Seattle and San Francisco were brought by Arthur Lee of Seattle, former first lieuten ant with the 364th, recipient of the distinguished service cross, and W 111 iom Simmonds, ex-captain with the 3t4th, now of San Francisco.

Traveling men In Portland and throughout the country are opposing Cox and supporting Harding. One of the main reasons is the fact that an editorial in the Dayton News, owned and published by Cox, calls traveling men "parasites." The editorial, which has aroused the commercial travelers of the United States, follows: Tlie art of salesmanship is & good deal of nuisance to the public. It has come to the point where every business of any magnitude must employ a purchasing ajrent, whose time Is largely wasted by men who want to sell him something and from whom he has no intention of buying. Yet ho must treat them courteously and listen to Inns rigmaroles in which he is not the least interested. f there is no purrhaBlng- agent some body lse has to submit to Innumerable Interruptions of salesmen who ars un mitigated bores. 11 a man would exer cise the first impulses of his heart he would kick tham out of his office if they lii not take the first hint. That the salesman escapes with a whole akin in every instance speaks volumes for the good nature of the long-suf fering business man. If these statements apply to the 'traveling man." what shall be said of the act ivi ties of the multifarious "arent" who has for sale every device under the sun? The housekeeper who has not the most forceful manner and who is not willing to ba cold and brusqun la at the marcy of peddlers who gn from door to door. The man in an office building is no more immune unless he Is fortunate enoiiKh to be in an office building which forbids agents to circulate; or is fortt fied by a private office sentinelled by an alert and always watchful of He boy or secretary. There Is a certain amount of educa tion to be learned from a capable sales man; and a book agent Is a conversattonl bk-ssing to many a person who finds time hanging heavy. But for a busy man or i woman the thing- In hand is of infinitely more importance than anything the aver age salesman can Impart. The business man must see a certain number of men who represent firms with which he loes business, and from these he can get all the gossip and Information necessary about the state of the trade and its new est developments. Even without the aid tf these necessary salesmen a man can get all the information he wants in ther ways just about as thoroughly And in much less time. People need to be fortifisd with an ever-ready reason for not seeing sales men -they don't wnt to see; and they should have the grim fortitude necessary to close the conversation before v it begins. Tne man who hesitates is lost, and the agent who is permitted to sit down has his victim at his" mercy for a time. Personal salesmanship has exceeded rn.ll reasonable limits. It is being exaggera-od to an abnormal degree. There are hordes of pople running around the country try ing to sell people things they do not want, or to get prices for them that are ex cessive because the cost of selling is ex cessive. Heme xt these days we are going to AnVen to the fact that the increased coat of living is, to a certain important degree. Coulitz Highway In- Bad Shape. KELSO, Wash., Sept. 25. (Special.)
