TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1916. 13 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.

With the re- DlstrJct Attorney Ringo Attempts to Bring to Close Wlerd Career or "Holy Goer" In Marion 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. LIBRARY IS GIVEN DEED PRESIDENT ACCEPTS PRESENTA TION OF BOOKS TO COLLEGE. 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. Students Remove Cowboys' Paint. EUGENE. Or., Sept. 13. (Special.)

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 lers," and that he used indecent lan guage in his sermons. So great is said to be the negro's in fluence over his hearers, all of whom were white people, that today many of his followers came to the tent where the meetings have been taking plac and rolled about on the ground in frenzied! manner, as has been the prac tice when the meetings were progress.
