KING T WOULD vote for Herbert Hoo ■* ver because I am convinced that he should be given a chance to vindicate himself in the eyes of the country. Herbert Hoover has demonstrated to my satisfaction that he has those unique qualities which go to make a real leader. By his unprecedented measures to reconstruct the finances of the country he has shown himself to be more than merely an engineer who has “damned, ditched, and drained" the country. Far too many people have condemned Mr. Hoover simply because he is in of fice. Mr. Hoover may not be the epitome of all that is desirable in a president, but I can .place little faith in the character of a man so vaccillating in his campaign ut terances as Mr. Roosevelt. * * * Surely the sincerity of Mr. Hoo ver is above reproach. During the last two years he and his admin istration have instituted measures so unique in our governmental his tory as to merit the adjective rev olutionary. Never before have we seen the government back busi ness as it has through the facili ties of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. It appears as an in disputable fact that had not this corporation been set up the finan cial fabric of this country would have been torn to sherds and chaos would have resulted. Hoover’s Des moines speech will bear close scrutiny. When a country is within two short weeks of being forced to re linquish the gold standard, it is treading on extremely precarious ground. During the last year we have caught a glimpse of a new Hoover, not the man who went in (Continued on Page Four) Crimson’s Choice For President i Herbert Hoover, chief executive of the United States, elected by a convincing margin by Harvard students at their recent straw poll. Hoover gained 1,741 votes to only 620 for Franklin Roosevelt, a graduate of Harvard. Norman Thomas followed Roosevelt closely with 481. Oregon students vote upon Ihe threa candidates tomorrow noon. Number Attending Dad’s Day Should Be Given to Dean Students in living organiza tions are urged to turn in all reservations to Dean Earl’s of fice if they have received any from the dads who are coming to the campus Saturday, Octo ber 29, to observe the sixth an nual Dad’s day. According to Hal Short, chairman of the affair, it is hoped that men and women will respond to this request so that the committee may have an approximate estimate of dads attending the week-end celebration. Final Donut Drive Will Be Saturday Latest' computations of the Y. W. C. A. donut directorate last night set the total sales of the day at a higher mark than had been anticipated. Well over 200 dozen donuts were sold from booths dur ing the day. Though the elimina tion of house-to-house canvassing will be felt this year, the coopera tion of student living organizations and town bodies has made the drive a success once more. Louise Barclay, general chair man, last night expressed her ap preciation for the help given by women students, the Emerald, Margaret Norton at the Y. W., and the Korn bakery. Her com mittee is now ready to swing into the last half of the campaign, en couraged by yesterday’s success. Thursday the 190 dozen donuts or dered by campus organizations will be delivered, and the final drive comes Saturday, when they will be sold during the half of the Oregon-Gonzaga game and at a booth to be located in McMorran and Washburne store. Orders will still be taken during the coming week. Practice Hours Named Major R. H. Back yesterday announced practice hours for those who are individually interested in rifle shooting on .Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the indoor i range located on the second floor of the R. O. T. C. building. He said that in this activity they were working particularly with the freshmen, in compliance with tne war department’s curriculum. Concert To Open Fall Season for U. of O. Orchestra Sunday’s Program Will Be Feature of Dad’s Day Week-End The University symphony or chestra, with a full complement of 65 picked musicians, will open the fall season with a free concert at the music auditorium next Sunday afternoon, it is announced by Rex Underwood, orchestra director. According to Underwood, the orchestra does not reflect the gen eral decline in the University en rollment, and practically all of last year’s members have returned for the year. Sunday's program, which will begin at 3 o’clock, is being fea tured as a part of the program arranged for the Dad's day week end. A popular program has been planned to last about an hour. Townspeople, as well as students, will be admitted without charge. Students with visiting fathers, are urged to bring them to the con cert to acquaint them with the musical side of university life. Beta Alpha Psi To Meet Faculty, upperclassmen, and graduate members of Beta Alpha Psi, national accounting honorary fraternity, will meet with heads of accounting firms at the Anchorage for a dinner party at 12 o’clock, Saturday, October 29. Straw Vote On National Issue j Attracts Notice Attention Is Centered on Poll HARVARD FOR HERB Ollier Colleges Conclude (toileting; i Republican Candidate Said To Hold Edge THE ODDS O-------<A> Herbert Hoover was a slight favorite over Franklin. Roose velt and Norman Thomas last night to win the campus presi dential poll tomorrow.' He was a favorite over the field at about o to 8. National politics remained the prominent point of discussion on the campus yesterday, with the Emerald presidential poll but two days away. As further results from other collegiate polls came fh, interest mounted in the forth coming campus-wide canvass of opinion. All living organizations will be canvassed tomorrow at noon, and all students will be given the op- j portunity to cast a ballot for either Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. ! Roosevelt, or Norman Thomas. All ' students who do not eat at any of j these organizations may vote at j the Journalism building between 12:00 noon and 1:30 b. m. Hoover Sweeps Harvard The most indicative result for the day was from Harvard, the schopl from which Franklin Roose velt graduated. It gave Hoover a landslide of the votes. The incum bent scored 1,741 ballots, Mr. Roosevelt counted up 620 markers to Mr. Thcftnas’ 484. The Hoover forces also rolled up an impressive victory in the straw vote conducted at the University of Minnesota. There, Mr. Hoover gained a clear majority of the votes cast with a score of 769 to Mr. Thomas' 431 and Roosevelt’s 284. Robert Z. Foster polled 20 votes, and Will Rogers got 2. Odds Even in West Betting odds in the West remain at even money, while in some parts of the East, wagers of 2 to 1 on Roosevelt may be easily picked up. Predictions by the Oregonian indicate that Oregon will probably remain in the Repub lican fold, although the Demo cratic forces, and especially those of the Socialists expect to make large encroachments upon the Republican supporters. The race this year is noted for its possibilities of developing the contemporary political situation into a three-way race within the next decade or so. Elsewhere upon the first page will appear articles by University students telling why they will vote for certain candidates. Seats To Be Reserved For Mystery Thriller —•— The Colonial will present “White Zombie’’ tonight, with. Bela Lugosi, as a road show. For this occasion all seats for the single performance will be reserved at the usual price of 25 cents. The performance, which will include Merle Good and his band, excellent shorts, and authentic Haitian dancing, will commence at exactly 7:40 p. m. The Colonial suggests that if you wish to attend you get your tickets early, since the good will go first. Why I Will Vote for Roosevelt — By EUGENE ALLEN j f WILL vote for Mr. Roosevelt 1 because it has been demon strated beyond a doubt .that Her bert Hoover, standing on the plat form he does, and backed by the powers that he is, is entirely in capable of meeting the situation that confronts the country t,oday. He has for four years staggered ■ blindly through the darkness | brought upon us by the inefficient j and extravagant Republican mis- j j rule of the past, constantly being I led by Mr. Grundy and Andy Mel lon with no regard apparently for | the people of America. Mr. Roosevelt has had experi ence in the nation's capitol. He has had practical experience with the problems that confront the governing of one-tenth of the population of the nation up in New York state. Mr. Roosevelt j made such a success of his execu tive position that on his second election he increased his plurality from 25,000 to 750,000 the great est ever given any man in New York. * * * I will vote for Mr. Roosevelt be cause he is honest And is running on an honest platform. Mr. Roose velt and the Democratic party are clear and to the point as contrast ed with the Republican platform and the Republican nominee who knows not his own mind. The Re publican platform is truly Hoover esque in its straddle-issue muddled language. It is my solemn belief that tax ation without representation is absolutely no worse than taxation with constant misrepresentation. The Democratic candidate runs with a definite program of econo my and business revival by prac (Cout 'mut'd on Page Pour) Last Hope Hero is Irvine (Cotton) YV’ar luirton, diminutive quarterback of U.

Oregon Graduate Gets High Honor In Native Country Yosuke Mntsuoka Selected i As Representative to League of Nations Yosuke Matsuoka, LL.B., a member of the University of Ore gon graduating class of 1900, iS, the leading member of the Jap anese parliament, and has been appointed as the Imperial Japan ese government representative for J the League of Nations meeting to be held in Geneva in November in connection with the Manchurian problem. This information was received yesterday by James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of social sci ence, in a letter from Tetsutaro Tatsugami, who represented the University of Oregon at the semi centennial anniversary of Waseda university held October 18. According to Mr. Tatsugami, Matsuoka is the outstanding ori ental graduate of Oregon, since the position occupied by him places him as one of the political leaders of Japan in the timtfs of its historic conquest and reorgani zation of Manchuria. M. Maita, LL.B., class of 1901, recently received his LL.D. degree from the educational department of the Japanese government. He is a lawyer and professor at the Tokyo commercial college.

Accoustic Facilities At Igloo To Be Altered Students who have strained to hear just what the speaker was saying at assemblies in McArthur court will be pleased to learn that the situation is to be improved.

Ellwood Smith, dean of the lower division, state | system of higher education. Eugene Students Send Pendleton 500 Voting Cards Here's initiative for you! There's a lot of backing for the Zorn-Mae pherson school jumbling bill in Pendleton, and University students from the city realize that.

Pendleton reads a daily newspa per that is backing 'the school grab bill, and with their only bank taking a 10-day vacation, campus Pendletonians fear that their hometowners will vote for any thing no matter how radical it may be if they think there is any possibility of saving a dollar here and there. The 500 cards that ar rive in Pendleton at the end of this week should convince a great number of voters that the bill will will result in no saving to the tax payer.

Sf ^tsWork 1 - i To Defeat uggling’ Bill * 00 Political Cards Sent to Voters VOTING NOVEMBER 8 Pamphlets Containing Picture3 Of Oregon Campus Available | CARDS DUE TODAY! | ■o-©* Members of the student vigi l.inc* committee will call at your living organization at noon to day. You are urged to have all postcards signed and addressed that they may be mailed at ortce. The first of 20,000 political cards will go into the mails today —to be delivered to Oregon vot ers all over the state by the end of the week. Members of the student vigilance committee will call on all living organizations today at noon to collect the cards which were distributed yesterday. Heads of houses are asked to have all cards ready for the vigi lante calling. UlVUlg giuupa [MCOCUICU uuojr scenes yesterday as each student went to the work of signing and addressing cards that will carry a message against the Zorn-Mac Pherson school moving bill which will appear on the November 8 ballot. Students in charge of the mailing campaign gave good re ports on the cooperation being shown by A. S. U. O. members in putting out the pasteboards. Hall Urges Cooperation “This is one of the biggest united efforts that the students have ever attempted,” said Bob Hall, A. S. U. O. president, last night. “It is only hoped that stu dents will get every available card signed and mailed to some voter in the state.” “Women on the campus are do ing their best to get their share of the cards signed,” Louise Webber, president of the A. W. S. and mem ber of the vigilance committee, said last night. “We expect every women's organisation to come through 100% with their cards.” Art Potwin, director of the stu dent anti-merger campaign, was strong in hte praise of student work. “Members of the vigilance committee have surely worked hard in putting over this drive,” he said, “and students are work ing just as hard to get these cards out. The cards will deal an effec tive blow to the foes of higher education.” Vigilantes to Bring Folders When vigilantes call today they will bring with them folders con tainkig pictures of University buildings that may also be mailed out by students. One of the ar guments used by the proponents of the school muddling bill is the claim that buildings on the Eugene campus are old and inadequate. The folder refutes all of these statements. Windshield stickers to be sent home to parents for 1 their cars will also be distributed. Students not affiliated with campus living organizations may receive all material fighting the bill by calling at the alumni office in Friendly hall or at the Co-op. Two in Infirmary Business in the infirmary is so bad that the nurses have been forced to take up knitting as a last resort. Only two students, Dorothy Sinnett, and Joe Franz, are laid up at present, and they want it understood that they cravo company in large quantities. ■| Why I Will Vote for Thomas By JACK BELLINGER (Editorial Writer, Oregon Emerald) j I WILL vote for Norman Thomas j *- because his platform is the1 ionly one that intelligently opposes the philosophy of drift. We must have a planned society. Socialism offers the only plan for an intelli gent social and economic order. I have met and talked tb both ; Mr. Thomas and Mr. Maurer. Mr. Thomas is a cultured gentleman, a Princeton graduate, with a pleasing personality, an intelligent outlook on life, and an unmistak ab le straightforwardness and frankness. * * * I It is an ironic situation that our i people must starve amidst plenty. ! In an intelligent social order it should be unnecessary to have 12, 000,000 unemployed in the United 1 States. Man cannot live by bread alone, but neither can he live with out bread. With abundant machinery to abolish poverty, we live in a world faced with economic ruin, unem ployment, and the ever-present danger of war. Socialism is the way out, the open door to inter national peace and world-wide economic security. Socialism will lead mankind toward a more sen sible and more merciful social or der that will evaluate each indi vidual in terms of his true worth. * * * I believe that we must place human values above profits. To mention but a few of the socialist principles incorporated in the 1932 platform, 1 believe in (1) social insurance, t2) reduction of tariffs, (3) a progressive income tax, (4) a reduction in armaments, (5) an intelligent world-mindedness, (6) (Continued on Page Four)
