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.

WOMEN FORM WATER CHAIN

sequence of the Bllddeii failure &' the
water sunnlv In .North wales, j'"
women students at llangor forniei
a chain 4no yards long to bring th
water from tho Menar! Straits. Th
water was passed In buckets from
hand to hand.
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.
