20 BEN SELLING URGES ELECTION OF BOOTH credit of the state and creation of a department of industry and public works. The last, he said, would make Oregon the dumping ground for unem ployed. He advised defeating tax meas ures but supporting tax commissioners. Republican Oregon Should Re assert Allegiance to Party, i Is Statement. BUSINESS CALLED ISSUE Bvate Xeeds Senator Who Will See That Producers Here Get Square Deal, Which They Do Not T Get Xow, Is Assertion. Republican Oregon should assert Its allegiance to Republican principles by sending a Republican to the United States Senate, says Ben' Selling, who was the party nominee for the Benatorship two years ago. "Business conditions demand a return to Republican principles and it is to the Interest of everyone to see that this is brought about," said Mr. Selling yes terday. "I was one of those who urged Robert A. Booth to become the Republi can candidate for United States Senator, believing that he was eminently fitted lor the position by reason of his high character, . his knowledge of the state and its needs and his business ability. I am still firmly of the opinion that the Republican party in Oregon could not have selected any man better quail fled to represent the state at Washing ton and I have been giving Mr. Booth all the support within my power. Party to Reassert Itself. "The day of non-partisanship has passed, for in this election the Repub lican party will reassert itself. It is high time, for in Oregon, with its over whelming Republican registration, there should be Republicans filling the offices. Think of a state where the Republican registration Is 100,000 In excess of the Democratic registra tion, and yet the state having two Democrats in the United States Senate. "In this campaign, however, the" is Bue is not Mr. Booth or Mr. Chamber lain, but business. We cannot blind ourselves to tho fact that "conditions are not good. There are thousands of worthy men seeking jobs. There are hundreds of people who are trying to pay lor homes on the installment plan and they cannot raise the money to meet the payments. What are they to do? Oregon s principal industries have to compete with foreign producers. There has been a flood of foreign prod ucts entering the United States under the Democratic tariff. This invasion has deprived Oregon producers of their market, either in whole or in part. With a limited demand, the Oregon Industries nave had to shut down, reduce their output or cut wages. There is not a man or woman in the state who has not felt the business depression to some degree, either directly or indirectly. Producer to Get Square Deal. "The election of Mr. Booth will give to Oregon a Senator who will see that ine uregon proaucers receive a square deal, something they do not get at present. And when the producer pros pers, his workers prosper, and of course, so does the entire community. This is something that we all desire, whether workingman or merchant. To my way of thinking, it is common sense for the voters to support the candidates wno can best serve them, and in thi election tho fitness of Mr. Booth and xne issues or the campaign are such mat a vote for the Republican candi tiate ror United States Senator ia the best way for a voter to help himself inai i Know or. "I am convinced that this is a ReDub lican year. The people will be proud that they have placed Robert A. Booth in the Senate to protect Oregon." BOY ESCAPES FROM JAIL Melville Jackson Gains Freedom Be fore Officers Reach Spokane. Just as Superintendent Will Hale, of the Oregon State Training School, was leaving Salem for Spokane to bring back Melville .Jackson, the boy re gained his freedom after having been in Jail there for two weeks, according to a Spokane dispatch Sunday nlgbt. There were no funds in the State Treasury available for the return of prisoners, and when the Spokane au thorities notified Governor West of the capture of Young Jackson, there was no way to send for him. The matter was delayed until Spokane became im patient. Saturday Probation Officer Winans. of that city, telegraphed The Oregonian asking if the delay could be explained, and complaining that that county had troubles enough of its own without bearing the burdenB of other states. Probation Officer Peter Mcintosh, of Portland, was notified, and he at once took the mater up with Governor West and Superintendent Hale. A meeting of the State Board of Control was called hastily, special funds appropri ated, and a few hours later Mr. Hale was on his way to Spokane on a fruit less errand, as he probably learned yesterday.

Carey Advises Brotherhood to Oppose Issues on Ballot. Judge C. H. Carey addressed the Brotherhood of the First Conisresra tional Church, last night, discussing the various measures to be voted on to day. W. K.. Royal presided at th meeting, wnicn louowed a supper served Dy ine young women of the church. He urged the defeat of the dentistry and non-partisan judiciary measures. He opposed amendments dealing with the death penalty, the lending of the An effort is being: made by the backers of the so called waterfront bills to have the voters of this state despoil thousands of people by robbing them of their property. For 50. years hundreds of the residents of this state have owned and paid taxes on waterfront prop erty, in many instances paying more in taxes than the property is worth, and it is now proposed to rob . them of it by law. Is there any fairness, is there any justice in this proceeding? Men and women in Oregon by the hundreds have their little all invested in waterfront property, and if the Journal succeeds in its ruthless plan to strip them of it, they will be impoverished, and it is too late for many of them to make a new start in life. THESE SO-CALLED WATERFRONT MEAS URES CONSTITUTE THE MOST BRUTAL, THE MOST UNPRINCIPLED ATTACK ON PROP ERTY RIGHTS THAT HAS EVER DISGRACED AN OREGON BALLOT. ' The assertion is made that the railroads control the waterfront in Oregon. The truth is that less than 5 per cent of the frontage on the navigable waters of this state is owned by the railroads and other cor porations, while the other 95 per cent is owned by the little fellow the river farmer, the hopgrower, the lowland rancher and the fisherman. Many thou sands of acres of waterfront property is owned by women, who bought it with their hard-earned savings. , ARE WE GOING TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM WITHOUT GIVING ONE CENT OF COM PENSATION? THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF A MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE VOTE YES ON 328 AND 330. This organization, which is composed of men and women in all walks of life, appeals to the people to vote down this cunningly devised plan to impoverish hundreds of the citizens of this state. Not only would the backers of these measures despoil people of their honestly obtained property, but they would have us pass laws that will prevent the establishment of manufacturing industries on the waterfront of Portland and every other city lo cated on the navigable waters of the state. Resent the effort that is being made to have the people of Oregon brand themselves as dishonest. East 1510 1374 1880 494 JIarconi Wireless Reports. (All positions reported at 8 P.

WHEAT LEAPS HIGH Prices Rise From Two to Four Cents in Exchange. Columbia River Bar Report. NORTH HEAD, Nov. 2. Condition of the bar at 5 P. M., sea rouch; wind, southwest 30 TTUleil. BLUESTEM GOES AT $1.18 Another Order Offers $1.25 for Spring Delivery, Indicating Fur ther Advance Is Possible. War Main Impetus. The wheat markets of the Northweat are keeping- pace with the ascent of values in all parts of the world. Port land quotations yesterday jumped two to four cents anil tne top marks of the season to date were established. At the open session of the Merchants Exchange bluestem changed hands at 11.16, within half a cent of the extreme price paid during the market bulge at the opening of the war, but this, price was exceeded In trading outside the exchange, when a large lot of blue stem was disposed of at $1.18. Another deal that was closed shows still better the tendency of the market, for it in volved a quantity of bluestem for Spring delivery at J1.25 a bushel. , Other kinds of wheat were in equally strong demand. Two sales of club wheat were made on the exchange at $1.13. an advance of three cents over Saturday's price, while red wheat was three and one-half cents higher with a sale at Jl.06. A considerable part of the buying here was done by California milling concerns, but the strength of the mar ket is due entirely to the urgent de mand for wheat from the warring na tions of-Kurope. Predictions have been made by wheat authorities in the Kast-( ern states that wheat will sell for t'i a bushel before the season is over. Europe is rapidly draining the United States of Its available supply. Since the war began exports of wheat have averaged about 1,000,000 bushels a day, and It is estimated that the entire American surplus will be disposed of before the crop year is half gone. With wheat prices climbing, flour quotations also will rise, and it is likely the local market will see a higher schedule of prices in effect In a day or two. Portland millers and shippers are receiving inquiries for flour to be shipped to Europe, but it is said no orders of this kind have been booked recently. PAPER MILL ADDS MEN Although Hurt by Tariff, Company Tries to Tide Over Depression. OREGON CITY, Nov. 2. (Special.) Beginning today, the big paper mills of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Com pany began operation on a flve-day-a-week basis. The mills will be Idle Sat urday and Sunday of each week. Of the six machines in the mill, two have not been used since the first of this year. With the plant operating full capacity Ave days a week, the num ber of men employed will be Increased, but the amount of paper produced will remain about the same. The object of the change is to keep as many men on the payroll as possible so that the present financial depression will not affect seriously many of tne 'mill's employes. Word that there was to be a change brought 320 men to the plant, but only 6J were taken. Others will be added later. Korelgn competition resulting from the Democratic tariff Is given as the cause of the condition by a high officer Acute Articular Rheumatism ' Relieved by Anii-Kamnia Tablets The exact cause of rheumatism Is un known, though It is generally believed to be due to an excess of nrio acid in the blood. It maybe also said with equal truth that no remedy has been found which is a specific In all cases. In fact the literature of rheu matism shows that there are but few drugs which have not been elven a trial. In the hands of one observer we find that a certain drug baa been used with the utmost satis faction; others have found the same remedy to be a great disappointment. All physi cians however agree that every method of treatment Is aided by the administration ot some remedy to relieve the pain and Quiet the nervous system and Dr. W. 8. Schultz expresses the opinion of thousands of prao titloners when he says that Antl-Kamnla Tablets should be given preference over all other remedies for the relief of the pain la all forms of rheumatism.
