(liy Associated Press). CHICAGO, Sent. 9 The big issue In the socialistic campaign this fall is as usual private ownership of tho means rlf production. Otto Uranstet- ter, national secretary and campaign manager of the Socialist party said here today, discussing the Socialist campaign. The League of Nations Issue was viewed by the Socialists as "largely camouflage" he said. Tho party felt that tho league question had been in troduced by the old parlies largely to cloud tho Issues and keop tho peo pie's attention off domestic issues. Kugene V. Debs, tne socialist pres tdential cnmpalgn in prison at Atlnn ta, Ga., was not advsing in the con duct of the campaign to any oxtent. i:sn was being mado In party liter al lire of what he said to socialists visiting him. The chief speaker n the campaign Is the vice-presldentlnl candidate, Seymour Stedman. of Chicago, reen- forced by 40 speakers or more under the national organization. Ho has completed a tour of tho southwest and on September 1 started for tho Pacific coast. After making a rounu of the central states he plans to go east about October 1 for the balance of the campaign. Secretary liranstetter said the party expected to get on the ballot In practically every slate where It has previously had a vote of any conse quence. It does not expect nt this time to get on the ballot in Vermont, Louisana. New Mexico. South Da kota, Idaho and possibly lit several other states In the south and west. The three big states this fall from the socialist standpoint are New York. Wleonsln and Oklahoma, said secretary Mranstotter. He said tho pirty expected to poll a larger voto in there states than ever netore. A large part of the pnrty member ship outside of the foreign language) federations has come back, tne soc lnll.it executive reported refering to the snllt last fall which resulted in formaton of the Communist party and tho Communist Labor parly. No nolicv or concentration in sec tion where socialist sentiment Is strong wll be carried on by national headquarters, accordng to the party secretary. He said that the national otfflre was making the cnmpalgn as general as it could, leaving concen tration to the state organizations, which would undoubtedly carrv on such a policy In New York, Okla homa and Wisconsin.

Considerable Interest la beginning to manifest Itself in the coming city election which will be held at the same time as the county election In November. The state law as recently n mended requires that city elections N ? held at the tame time as tho gen eral election and consequently all df the city officials. Including the cliy couiullmen will be up for re-e!ec- lon. Tho city officials are elected for a term of two years and the ouncllmen under the charter are lected alternately, so that only half f the council la changed at an elec- lon. Under the new statutes how ever, all will come up Ifor re-election t the same time and the complete ity administration will be placed be fore the votors. At the present time the only op position that Is In sight Is for tho po- - lllon of mayor. This is to re a con test between W. S. Hamilton, the present Incumbent, who was appoint ed to fill the unexpired torra of D. J. Stewart, when tho latter was ap pointed by Oov. Olcott to the posl- ion of County Judge and Dr. ueo. louck, who has annonced blmBolf a candldato for that position. For tho otll'lce of City Recorder now filled by R. L. Whipple there ire no other aspirants so far as has been announced. There is still time n which to file petitions and make announcements but It is believe! hat there will not bo any sookers or this place. Tho same la true of the office of City Treasurer, now held by Mrs. C. Alloy. Both Mr. Whipple and Mrs. Mley will be candidates Ifor re-elec tion, tholr petitions having been pre pared and filod. . . . For Couiicllmen no announcements have been mado. The council as It now stnnds Is composed of Al Crea- son, w. H. Fisher, first ward! Brut Nichols Louis Kohlhngen. second ward: W. S. Powell, Oscar Llndsey. third ward; and J. E. McClIntock and lr. A. C. Seely for the fourth ward. No opposition candidates have as yet utiounced themselves, and nono of thoso now serving have placed thorn- elves up for re-election. Roughly the boundaries of tho four wards are as follows: First Ward: All that part of the Ity of Roseburg lying east of Jack son street and north of Onk street. Socond Ward: All that part of 'he city rif Roseburg lying west of tnckson street and north of Lane street. Third Ward: All thnt portion of 'he city of Roseburg lying south of t.ane street nnd west of the line formed by Roso, Benson and Cobb streets. Fourth Ward: All of that part of he city east rlf Cobb street and outh of Oak street. The petitions of the various can lidates need only the nnmes of 25 voters. Tho charter requires that In trilor to plnce a name of any enndi late upon tho ballot, the petition must bear the signature or a percent f tho number of votes cast at the last election. The last olocflon was held November, 1918, nt which time 192 votes worn cast. 1). J. Stewart being given 4.18 of theso votes. The elty ballot will ho separate 'roni the general election ballot and will contain tho names of all as- nlrants to tho city offices. It Is very nrobablo that there will bo ronslder- ble change In the personnel of the council, but ss yet no candidates have been announced.
