lly Herbert I'lii miner
WASHINGTON Rep. Sam Ray
burn of Texas, selected by Democrats
of the Lone Star state to manage
the campaign of John N. Garner for
president, Is silent around Washing
ton when asked about his candidate.
He's aa reticent as "Mr. Speaker"
himself when conversation shifts to
Chicago and the Democratic national
convention.
But It's different when Roy burn
gets back to Texas among the "home
folks." He really talks then pub
licly and privately about Garner
and his chances with freedom and
frankness.
For example, in Houston a fewdays
ago. he said:
"Garner will be second choice of
more delegates at Chicago than any
other candidate ... At this blackest
hour, they believe that In this rug
ged son of the soil they see another
Jackson, and In this hour the people
are crying out, 'O for an hour of
Andrew Jackson . . ."
It's necessary, too, to go to Texas
to find out the extent of plans un
derway to obtain the nomination for
Garner.
olT!MISTIC OVER CHANCES
LVosRt SL months, j
Douhnrn nti tho Yinmn f nl ICR . I I
have talked with leading Democrats
from every state in the Union. They
have told me of conditions within
their state. For Instance, a new
Englander told me. 'Tell the people
of Texas I go to the convention at
Chicago solely because I want to-
cast a vote for John Garner.'
And then a bit triumphantly he
added:
". . . In the great state of Cali
fornia our man won handsomely.
. . . With California's 44 and Texas'
40 we have more votes already cast
than Harding or Davis had ..."
SILENT AT CAPITAL
But back in Washington Rayburn
is silent. -
Nothing In the way of a comment
or statement comes from the rooms
of the Interstate and foreign com
merce committee where Rayburn
has his offices. There he'll talk to
you at any time about freight rates
and the like.
But about Garner's chances - of
getting the nomination never.

Ballot Title failed Decep
tive By James Burdette
Changes Are Sug
gested. SALEM, Juno 14 Vf) Attacks on
both the proposed Inltlntlvo measure
for physical changes In tho state's
higher education Institutions and the
ballot title prepared for the peti
tions by the attorney-general were
made before tho Oregon supreme
court today.
Opponents of the initiative bill ar

of the court.

who said that "the organization of
which I am president is neither Bpon

Fears Title Misleading
Pointing to the fact that the name
of the organization sponsoring tho
initiative bill Is Identical to that of
the organization he heads, with the
exception of tho added words, "Mar
lon county," Burdette told the court
that "It Is reasonable to infer that
the name used by the organization
which has Initiated tho measure to
move the university to Corvalfia and
the Normal schools to Eugene was
conceived for the purpose of mis
leading tho voters Into believing that
the organization Is other than It
really is, and It becomes highly Im
portant that the ballot tltlo bo so
framed as not to permit voters to be
misled."
The attack of Cu3ter E. Ross, op
pearlng for the appellant, Clarence
W. Kenne of Silvorton, centered
i about tho contentions that the wo.d
of hnth tho nr noosed bill and the bal
lot title are unfair, deceptive and
that the ballot title fails to state the
true purpose of the measure. In place
of the title prepared by the attorney-
general, "bill moving, consolidating

Liked Diiorderly 4air
The celebrated Norwegian author.
Ibsen, loved to keep bis hair In dis

and a comb attached to the lining of
his gray hat. Ho would often re

and If not rough enough to suit
would use the 'oinb to give It the

Plants Not Harmful
The old theory that the keeping
of plants In bedrooms Is harmful
to sleeping human beings has no
foundation In fnct, since plains give
olT oxygen nnd lake in carbon diox
ide the exact opposite process to
that which takes place during Ihe
