POLITICIANS DEBATE
IT WS PICNIC
'G.A.Brown Accuses President
of Political Expediency in
Child Labor Legislation.
HUGHES' LABOR VIEW GIVEN
Colonel C. K. S. Wood Says Demo
crnts Should Get Votes of Those
Tl'lio Want Country's Resources
Opened TTp for All People.
Political principles involved In the
Presidential campaign were brought to
the surface before a large audience at
the Oaks yesterday afternoon. Colonel
C. E. S. Wood representing the Demo-
ratlc party, and George Arthur Brown
advocating the cause of the Republi
cans. Although the meeting repre
sented the voters of neither party, be
ing merely an assemblage brought to
gether by the local streetcar men and
their families, who were having a
Jjlcnfo during the day, enthusiastic
fcackers of both the Presidential candi
dates were in evidence.
Vote manufacturing, as evidenced by
nany of the recent events of the Wilson
Administration was the charge laid
against the parry in power by Mr.
Urown. "Political expediency," he said,
"was the cause of Mr. Wilson's change
of mind in favor of preparedness and
In favor of child labor legislation.
"The cause of preparedness was neg
lected until a private citizen came for
ward and, in an emphatic and insistent
manner, called the attention of the
country to our utter defenselessness
ill case of war. I refer to Mr. Hooae
Milt." Wilioa's Preparedness Falls.
"But let us see how well and how
Earnestly Mr. Wilson has followed
Roosevelt's preparedness idea. These
demonstrations were back in March and
April. On June 19 135.000 state militia
men were hastily summoned to the
Mexican border. The Administration
expected that these brave and noble
cons of ours were going to enter at
once into a deadly combat with the
Mexicans and the Mexican bandits.
We all thought bo, and had every rea
son In the world for thinking so, and
yet. after three years of this European
and Mexican agitation, after several
times approaching an open break, our
Do Die sons were sent by the Democratic
Administration to the Mexican border'
to right, and the Government was un
able to equip, and did not equip them
with even the necessities of defense, to
say nothing of offense. Preparedness?
The Administration, after three years,
with all the reasons in the world for
preparation, was not equipped to supply
wven xao.uuu 01 our boys with the neces
sary Implements of war. or even cloth
lng, and if it had not been that poor
and prostrate Mexico was overwhelmed
with the enormity of our power, and
absolutely knew the lack of hers, there
would have been enacted a great
tragedy which would have been the
darkest blot on the pages of our illus
trious history."
The attitude of Hughes on labor was
explained, in answer to a questioner in
the audience and who asked about the
decision that Justice Hughes had ren
dered in the Danbury hatters' case. Mr.
Brown pointed out that, whila UTi--
Hughes had occuDied tha nniitiin nf
Supreme Court Justice he had tried to
iive up to the conditions of his oath
and was administering the law as he
saw it written. "The decision that he
rendered," said Mr. Brown, "was based
wnouy on considerations of justice, and
not of political expediency, or on Mr.
Hughes' own convictions in regard to
Boshes Helped Labor Bills.
"The attitude of Mr. Hughes on labor
Questions would be best illustrated by
me iaci mat. during nis term as Gov
rnor or New York, more important
jhuoi- legislation acts were passed
through the Legislature than in the
entire past 135 years.
The principles of the Democratic par
ty, as set forth by Colonel Wood, are
established to the satisfaction of the
country in the important legislative
measures that have been enacted for
the benefit of the country. The rural
credits act and the regional bank act.
instrumental in the prevention of a
panio before the war, were indorsed
as valuable achievements of the Demo
oratlo party.
A legislative commission which should
frame some of the important new meas
ures to be put up to Congress was
promised as one of the improvements
of which the country stands in great
need. "During the framing of the Re
publican tariff acts," said Colonel
"Wood, "the representatives of the big
manufacturers and of the big interests
went before the ignorant legislators
and told them how the new law should
be framed.
"AH of the great possessions in this
country which have been given to the
people by the great being which we call
God should be opened up for the benefit
of the people. The mines, forests and
water-power sites should be opened up
by law to all of mankind, and not re
served for the malefactors of great
wealth. Those who want these bless
ings opened up should overwhelmingly
yote for Wilson."
Wilson's Election Predicted.
Colonel "Wood continued with a
laudatory explanation of the tariff
commission bill recently passed by
Congress at the suggestion of President
Wilson. He declared that it will nix-e
the tariff on a business basis, where it
buouiu nave oeen long ago.
He praised the President for his leg
lsiation ana his endeavors on behalf
oi lanor ana urgea particularly that the
jaoonng man ana the working people
of all classes should support the Presl-
uent.
The signs of the times point to the
re-eiection or resiaent Wilson and th
iiemocratic congress, he added, and
enumerated some of the reasons for
tne taitn mat the people have ex
pressed in the present Administration.
FTlncipal among them he placed the
President's attitude in favor of woman's
suffrage, his child-labor legislation
and the rural credits bill which will
provide cheap loans to farmers.

OREGON CITY, Sept. 13 (Special.)
Pete Peterson, aged 68 years, the
"man of silence who refuses to talk
will not leave the Clackamas County
Jail when opportunity offers. Sheriff
"Wilson led him to the door of the
jail today and offered him his freedom.
He shook his head and returned to his
Cot in the Jail.
Peterson has spent the day taking
one bath after the other.
Efforts today to induce Peterson to

Girl babies won two to one in the
most interesting of all the events of the
annual streetcar men's picnic at the
Oaks yesterday the old-fashioned
baby show, where eugenics and hy
gienics were brushed aside for chubby,
crooning, happy, good-natured, young
sters of both sexes, lwur out of the
six prize-winners were girls, and the
selections made by the judges out oi
a field of between 50 and 60 kiddies
seemed to be entirely satisfactory to
the great crowd of spectators who wit
nessed the awarding of prizes out un
der the great oak trees. Although there
were athletic contests and other events
going on in three or four other por
tions of the park, the baby show out
drew them all, 10 to 1. A complete list
of the winners is given below.
The picnic of the carmen and their
families and friends was an unquali
fied success. The day was perfect and
from shortly after 1 o'clock in the aft
ernoon until the lights went out at 11
there was something going on all the
time. More than $500 in prizes were
awarded in the different classified
events, field, track and water sports.
The formal programme opened with
a discussion of the so-called "brewery
amendment" by Ernest Kroner for the
measure and ex-Governor "West against
it. This was followed by a "Wilson-vs.-
Hughes" debate between Colonel C. E.
S. Wood for Wilson and George Arthur
Brown for Hughes. Of the 20O or more
people who listened to the arguments
a large majority were women.
In the evening came the comnmation
free band concert, in which feur bands
participated. The concert numbers were
generously sprinkled with vaudeville
acts by a large number of well-known
professional ar.d amateur entertainers
of Portland.

The students are full of life and to

assault was made on the stores for the
insignia of the freshmen their green

monished them on university customs
and traditions.

County Whites Attendants.
SIX.VERTON; Or., Sept.. IS. (Spe
cial.) Despite the issuance of a war
rant for the arrest of Jamea E. Fray,
head, of the so-called religious fanatics
"Holy Goers," who have been conduct
ing meetings here. Fray says he will
return here within the next ten days
to baptize nany who desired ' him to
officiate in such a ceremony before he
was escorted out of town In an auto
mobile and taken to Chemawa, where
the escorts, whose names could not be
learned, left him with advice that he
remain out of Silverton. The charge
made against Fray is that of using ob
scene language.
Constable E. E. Cooner. of Salem, was
here this morning investigating the
action of the populace following the
accident to E. S. Johnson, who became
Insane over religion and drove hia auto
through the doors of his garage and
into a tree, resulting in injury to John
son and his confinement later in the
hospital for the Insane at Salem.
Johnson has been a hopgrower here
and owned his home and a small ranch
near by. For several days he had been
a regular attendant at Fray's meetings
of the "Holy Goers," as they styled
themselves. Fray's assistants seldom
consisted of more than two women and
one man. All were negroes but many
white people had been attendants at
the meetings.
If Fray returns to the city it is
probable that arrest will follow and. he
may be prosecuted.

Ad Club Meeting Hears Discussion of
Beer Amendment to the State
wide Prohibition Law,
A library on advertising was pre
sented to Reed College yesterday at the
luncheon of the Ad Club and Presi
dent Foster, of Reed, received It in
behalf of the college.
The speaker of the day was Colonel
C. E. S. Wood, who talked in defense
of the proposed bill to permit the
manufacture of light beers in Oregon.
Colonel Wood denied that the bill is
fostered by the brewing interests of
the state. He said that he had ap
proached brewers and hop men for
financial aid, in the campaign, and
that they had declined to advance it,
"I am fathering the bill and backing
it." he said, "although the prohibition
ists seem to be inclined not to allow
me to father it but to attribute it to
the brewers. I am no friend of the
American saloon. I believe that the
manufacture and sale of light beer is
a step toward temperance that is far
more effective than the present law,
which is evaded continually and which
will be evaded and which brings into
the state only the strongest and most
dangerous distilled liquors."
William Hanley, of Burns, was chair
man of the day.

SALEM. Or., Sept. 18. (Special.)
with the issuance of a (John Doe) war
rant for the arrest of James E. Fray,
a negro preacher, on a charge of va
grancy, the climax to the negTo'
weird career in this county as a re
ligioua exhorter was reached. Efforts
by the Sheriff's office to locate Fray
today failed.
The negro has been conducting an
exciting series of revival meetings a
Silverton, this county, but was es
corted out of town last night by angry
citizens after his exhortations and
uncanny powers of hypnotism drove

The warrant for Fray's arrest was
issued by District Attorney Ringo, who
had received complaints of the negro
activities at Silverton. Silverton resl
dents say that the negro conducted his
meetings on the model of the holy rol

guage in his sermons.
So great is said to be the negro's in

were white people, that today many of
