HAS CHURCH SUPPORT Executive Opposing Recount, Claims Wenntor, Though Alleging a Desire for Exact Status of the Dls , pnted Point. PORTLAND, Ore., July 21. Chas. Hall, who is contesting the republi can nomination for governor with Governor Olcott. !n a statement, charges the governor with dilatory tactics In meeting the issue raised In connection with the proposed re count ot ballots. At the same time he charges the governor with raising religious Issues in the campaign and warns him that if he "keeps alive and continues to fan into flame un worthy passions" the result may be the loss of the election to the demo crats. Senator Hall's statement follows: Omitting references to the sad and Injured tone ot Mr. Olcott's state ment, the most striking admission Is that the Oregon lar governing con tests is burdensome' and expensive to both contestant and contestee. Although originally appointed to office by a democratic governor, Mr. Olcott now claims to he a republican and loyal republicans may well grieve that he should have intro duced religious Issues and appears to be atill striving to keep them to the fore. In my statement of prin ciple as a candidate and In every declaration during the campaign, I always made It plain that I would l governor of all the people all the time, and would not devote my time to emphasizing or Irritnting religious, racial, or other differences among the people of the state for personal polit ical advautage. Mr. Olcott should be ware how he keeps alive and con tinues to fan into flame unworthy passions ot the possible cost of los ing the election to the democratic party In the fall. It Is true that I favor the compul sory school bill, the .principle of which has been Indorsed by Masonic and other fraternal organizations as fundamentally Amcslcan. Where does the governor stand upon this till) 7 He objects because organiza tions outside of this stale Interested In such measures support my rsti- didacy and effort to aVrount the bal lots. Yet we find that The Tablet, a Roman Catholic paper, published In Brooklyn, New York, In Its Issue of July 1, 1922, says. In regard to the Initiation In Oregon of the compul sory school bill: "The action of the Masonic body fn thus definitely accepting responsi bility for the measure Is regarded here as nothing less than throwing the gauntlet to the entire Catholic educational system qT the I'nilecl States, and there Is little doubt among Catholic leaders that any success gained by the opponents of Catholic srhools In Oregon will stim ulate similar efforts In practically every state of the union. "Three bills aimed at parochial schools and Catholic teachers, Inclun Ing one that has for its target the garb of the sisterhonda that now teach public school In six Oregon communities were Introduced at the last, legislature, but were sent Into tbe discard." May I express the wish that Mr. Olcott would asxume toward all the citizens of the piste a more toler ant attitude as to their religious, fra ternal and other opinions, and not seek to measure all of us by the yard-stick of any one religion or sect? The man who is big enough to be governor of Oregon ought to be able to be Just slid fair and the ex ecutive servant, as governor, of Pro testant and Roman Catholic, Jew and Gentile. - Mr. Olcott afks me and my friends to stand the expense of recounting precincts In whKh he Indicates he may have objections. In view of the fact that the whole army of state of fice holders, deputies. Inspectors, etc., tax eaters, who swarm In the state like locusts and In part, at least, account for the heavy lax bur den, was actlrely at work during the primary ramtwlirn In behalf of Mr. Olcott and constitute a well-orgsn-Ized political ma'hlne, paid with (he (Continued oa page fix.)

OUT IS SUSTAINED Court Rules That Voters Are Entitled to Change Parties on Election Day. OTHER ISSUES. HOLD Other (Vmlenllons Voiced, in Hull's Petition KuMniiifd by Oiuii and Recount Will He Started In About Two Weeks. SALEM, July 21. Governor Ben VI. Olcott's position regarding the right of voters to change their regis tration and party affiliations on elec tion day was sustained by Judges George 0. Illngham and Percy It. Kelly, of the circuit court, hero yes terday In handing down their divi sion In the motion to strike out cer tain allegations of tbe petition filed by R. R. Coster asking for a recount of the votes for Charles Hall and Olcott In the ncent primaries. The decision of the Judges gives the voter the right to change his party affilia tions which was alleged to be Illegal by the attorneys representing Hall. 1'he remaining specifications of the petition were sustulned. Quoting from section 4069 of the Otegon Laws, Judge Illngham stated that It was apparent lo the court that the law gave voters the right to change their registration If they so desired by signing form "H" In Ihe presence of the election officials. This section or the law states: "That It shall be the duty or all officials of registration and election boards before whom such registration are made to send both cards to the coun ty clerk." The other card rererred to In the quotation Is form "A" which Is for the unregistered voter snd which he is also required to sign. The remaining specifications of the petition walch are left untouched bv the Judge's decision are those per taining to the over-counting of votes for Olcott, the rejection of a large number of vote for Hall by election hoards because of slight errors In marking; persons of other polltlcsl rartles other than the republican and democrat being nt rmllted to obtain republican ballot; the erroneous counting of votes opposite the pre cinct numtiers; democrats voting for Olcott and these votes being counted for him In the republican nomina tion; non-residents, aliens and peo ple resident In one precinct being allowed to vole In other precinct; snd the refusal of the election bosrds In certain precincts to allow the challengers of Hall to be present. Discussion as to where the court will begin the recounting of votes wss tsken op by W. 6. I" Hen and Judge Kelly, the latter stating that any stipulation agreed upon by the two parties sheuld take Into consid eration the authority of the court snd the county clerks. It will doubtless he two weeks before this ran be ac complished. It wss said. The date for filing an answer to the Hall petition wss set Wednesday and will be made July 25.
