    Ex-Gov. West
Takes Stands
For AI Smith
Relieves Prohibition and
Religion Two Vital
Issues in Campaign
Offers Advice lo Students
On How To Live Well
“There are only two real issues ir
thin campaign booze mid religion”
—said Oswald West, national demo
cratic committeeman of Oregon and
ex-governor of tliis state, in a talk
yesterday at Guild ball.
Tbo men wbo founded the gov
ernment political geniuses like
Hamilton and Jefferson- wrote into
tin* constitution of 111 e United States
that no man should have any reli
gious i|uulifientions whatsoever held
against him when trying for public
office, pointed out Mr. West. “The
men with Washington at Valley
Forgo were of every faith, and men
of every fa it h helped to form our
government, yet the spirit of reli
gious intolernnee is abroad in the
land and is cutting no small figure
in this eloetion.
“•Some people have ;jiisf. enough
religion to make them hate, and not
enough to make them love each
oilier,” continued Mr. West. “Each
particular religious faith thinks that
the only way to reach heaven is
over its own particular toll road.
Happy is the man who can go
through tliis Jife, without cherishing
one hit of religious intolerance.”
Many people have asked me why
T, a pronounced dry, am voting for
A I Smith, said Mr. West in speaking
of the liquor question. “My answer
has been, that the failure to enforce
1 lie prohibition laws can be attribut
ed to the Republican administration.
Nick Longvvorth, the speaker of the
house of representatives, isn’t dry;
Hawes, tlie president of the senate,
isn’t dry; fylellon, the biggest dis
tiller in tli(! United Slates, isn’t
dry; Harding wasn’t dry and if
(’oolidgiv is dry it is only because
he is too tight to buy a drink.”
Although ex (Jovernor West does
net. agree with AI Smith’s proposed
remedy for prohibition he says that
he at least knows where Smith
stands on the question. Hoover in
all his speeches has approached the
question of prohibition with extreme
caution and has been very vague as
to what measures ho intends to take.
“Hoover’s remedy for everything
seems to be the tariff. 1 have come
to the conclusion, after careful an
alysis, that Hoover intends to rem
edy the liquor situation by placing
a tariff on foreign bootleggers, thus
protecting the home product.”
.Instances of corruption in high
places filled by members of the Re
publican party were cited by Mr.
'West. He referred to the Doheny
Sinclair oil scandals, to Forbes, Fall,
ami Dougherty. “When Republicans
want a corrupt Democrat to hold up
to public example they always pick
on Doss Tweed,” ho said. “He’s
been dead and buried for a long
time. There are lots of live ones in
the Republican party.
“lu life there are checkers and
checker players,” Mr. West said in
the first of his speech, before tak
ing up strictly political matters.
“ Vou students can be either one
checkers or checker players. My
advice to you is to be the latter.
“The door is open. There are
more opportunities today in the
world than ever. Industry cannot
succeed unless it has at the helm
men and women of capacity. Ca
pacity never lacks opportunity it
can’t stay hidden because there are
too many who are seeking it and
want to use it. My advice to each
student is to struggle for an educa
tion, to be sober in habit, to be

faithful to trust, to keep out of
debt, and to apply yourself to play
ing life’s own gar mo.”
in a similar talk given last night
at the circuit court, -Mr. West took
up inconsistencies i'.i the Republi
can party’s platform .and its conduct,
of government. He compared the
party’s high-minded stand on con
servation of national resources with
the oil scandals, and pointed out
the contradiction betwen.n the plank
of the platform that dealt with sol
dier relief and the misappropriation
of funds of the war risk insurance
bureau.

What Oregon
Students Think •
Campus Views on Day’s
Topics Are Gathered
By Inquiring Reporter
:
Today’s Question: Ts Oregon Spir
it all tliat you expected it to be?
Luoile Catlin, freshman major in
nursing, replied to this question:
“Oregon Spirit has greatly impress
ed mo, especially the first week,
but it has died down considerably
since then. X do feel that it im
presses the new students but it does
not seem to last as it really should.”
Dale Robbins, freshman in music,
in regard to Oregon Spirit 'stated:
“Oregon Spirit is all that I expecter,
it to be, but in the first game with
Pacific I felt that there was no
organization. In the last game how
ever, Oregon Spirit was intensely
displayed and aroused my enthusi
asm for Oregon Fight.”
Carl Berger, freshman in mathe
matics, stated: “Oregon Spirit so
far has created a fighting spirit
in me. I would readily stand up for
my University.”
Orient History Class
Draws Many Students
Eighty students are enrolled in
the class of history of China and
Japan, taught by 0. Verne Blue,
new history instructor. This number
almost doubles the list enrolled last
year, which seems to show the
growth of interest in the Orient on
the campus.
“China and Japan are obviously
the most important nations in Asia,
and one would think that trans
pacific relations would be especially
important to people on this coast,”
Waltcrr Barnes, professor of history,
said when asked his opinion of the
