GIVEN MRS. HANLEY
The Dalles Turns Out in Force
to Greet Hughes Advocate
on Whirlwind Campaign.
STRAIGHT TICKETS URGED
Patriotic Address Made in Which
Women Are Asked to Stand In
Open Visitors Taken tor
Trip Through Countrf.
THE DALLES. Or,, Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) "I couldn't be neutral about
even so infinitesimal a thing as boiling
an egg." said Mrs. E. B. Hanley. of
Medford, tonight speaking here before
a huge audience in the first stop of
her whirlwind campaign tour of East
ern Oregon.
"There la nothing gained in dissi
pating forces. It is absolutely Impossi
ble to achieve results without organ
izing. I advise all Republicans to stick
straight by their party in a crisis like
this. It is no time to allow personal
preferences to interfere with a great
National issue. It is absolutely true
that no man is greater than his party.
You may prefer a man personally for
himself, but If you elect him on the
Democratic party ticket when an issue
comes up in Congress or in the state
that man is going to vote according to
the dictates of his party.
"All differences of opinion as to the
fittest man should be settled in the
primaries, then vote a straight ticket.
I don't say the Republican party is
perfect, but it is the most perfect ex
istent today. With this reunited, re
constructed Republican party it stands
today for the highest ideals and senti
ments not only of Americanism, but of
political ideals the world over, and it
deserves the support of all loyal Re
publicans. The weak-kneed and doubt
ing Thomases have been led astray by
Eoft words and should get back in line
quickly and make good.
"As for non-partisanship. I speak
from my own bitter experience, as I
tried it out and found it wanting. You
simply waste your energy, your vote
and your influence. Organization is
everything, whether It is in business
or politics. Women have entered poli
tics with men, they have entered on a
par in the great game, and they should
give and take and not beg for quarter
in sex issues. Too many women hide
behind their petticoats."
The far-famed personality and mag
netism of Mrs. Hanley won her in
stantly to people in The Dalles. A
huge delegation of representative men
and women met her and Mrs. Bert An
derson at the train. Mrs. Anderson
bang at last night's meeting and scored
an instantaneous triumph. The recep
tion committee which met the train ar
riving at noon consisted of Mayor and
Mrs. J. E. Anderson. Henry Cue, chair
man of the committee; A. E. Crosby,
state committeeman; H. L. Kuck, chair
man of the Hughes Alliance; C. S.
Knight, secretary of the central com
mittee, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Wil
son. Mrs. D. M. French. Mrs. George
Wensley. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Bell, Mrs.
A. W. Manchester, Mrs. J. J. Harris,
Mrs. C. R. Benny and Miss Prudence
Patterson, all of whom are prominent
civic workers.
Mr. Wilson Introduced Mrs. Hanley
and Miss Patterson accompanied Mrs.
Anderson on the piano.
The rooms of the campaigning guests
at the hotel were filled with floral
tributes sent by F. A. Seufert.
A ride about the beautiful' orchard
country and vineyards surrounding the
city and a visit to the public buildings
occupied the afternoon. Mrs. Hanley
leaves In the morning for Pendleton,
where she will speak tomorrow night.
SUGAR TO eiSE
PIFTEEX-C EXT ADVANCE IS DUE
THIS 3IOIIMXG.
Flour Has Steady Day and Will Not
Climb Farther Unless Wheat
Soars; Reaction Predicted.
There will be an advance of 15 cents
sack in the price of all grades of re
fined sugar this morning. Yesterday
a 10-cent rise wont into effect. Higher
Prices here are the consequence of
Ktrong and advancing markets in the
East. The new wholesale price of
sugar will be $8.25 a sack, close to the
record quotation for this market.
There was no change in flour prices
during the day and there will be no fur
ther advance unless wheat goes higher
In the Northwestern wheat markets
yesterday the bids of Thursday were
repeated.
Chicago at one time was 3 cents
higher than the day before, but as most
of the grain was lost at the close grain
men here believe that a reaction can be
looked for after the excited speculation
in the big grain markets .during the
week.

WOMAN ORATOR SWAYS
AUDIENCE TO HUGHES
Mrs. E. B. Hanley Inspires Crowd With Patriotic Fervor at The Dalles.
Brilliant Speaker Tells of Shortcomings of Administration.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
THE DALLES, Or., Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. E. B. Hanley is the
Billy Sunday of politics.
There's Just one fault to find with
whatever little Columbus first put her
on the political map. He should have
discovered her earlier in this big game,
so that she could have been lent around
to 'every place that shelters a ' few
doubting Thomases. For Mrs. Hanley
converts the backsliders in her own
party and lures Democrats from their
lair into her fold. They come, see and
are conquered.
Tonight she made a whole theater
full of folk stand up, sit down and
jump through Just wherever she wig
wagged a slender forefinger. She was
for Hughes, so they were for Hughes.
She believed in woman's suffrage, so,
too, did they. She tore the halo off
Woodrow's more or less classical brow
and her audience trampled on it. She
pleaded for patriotism and every lad
and man in the place and every woman,
too, girded their armor and set out to
do her bidding. She was splendid, fire
and quicksilver; all rose color and a
flame with a fine purpose.
Woman Is Inspired Speaker.
Right behind the band we rode up to
the portals of the theater. At the first
"zoom zoom" and the blare of trum
pets, or maybe they were cornets, the
primal woman sleeping under Mrs.
Hanley's skin woke to life and at the
moment of going to press some few
minutes before midnight the primal
person is still bursting with life and
the Joy of being a message-bearer.
I wish I could tell you all of the
thousand and one things she talks
upon, but no one could. Until she
steps upon the stage, even she does
not know what she is going to say.
Of course, we know it will be about
Mr. Hughes and what he stands for
and why we absolutely must elect him
if we don't want all to go to rot and
ruin and see the country go with us,
and I reckon you think she can tell
me all the things she's KOing to say
and the points she's going to drive
home before they occur, eh?
Make it an absent treatment ac
count, eh, what? Well, it can't be
done. Mrs. Hanley is truly an inspired
speaker, and when she's once begun I
grab what I can and thank the Lord.
Out of a cyclonic swirl of cleverness,
I remember these.
Wllwn Supporter Described.
"It's Just like belonging to a lodge
to be a Republican. You've got the
password the minute you say you're
one.
"A Republican Is a Republican be
cause he loves something and a Demo
crat is a Democrat because he hates
something.
"Woodrow must have been on the
right side some of the time, for he's
been on both sides.
"No wonder Ellis Parker Butler Is for
Wilson. He wrote 'Pigs Is Pigs," you
remember, and the Democratic Admin
istration is full of pork.
"As for Edison, that gentleman Is
highly flattered and still smothered in
Joy because of Daniels' attention and
recognition. Mr. Edison is Interested
In things that switch on and off and
naturpiy the Democratic party appeals
to him. Luther Burbank thinks the sal
vation of the world lies in his inven
tion of spineless cactus and naturally it
follows that he would give a lot of at
tention to a spineless ' statesman.
.Personalities Not Liked.
"Democrats make the extravagant
claims for this Administration. They
claim everything from the discovery of
the North Pole to finding Charlie
Ross."
Mrs. Hanley went on record as per-
.-j . . ... , .JW.it.l xi v. l p
Mr. Wilson is a public executive, andl
in his office is held constantly in conyf hi
nection with it," she continued. "His
personality is so inseparable from his
office that I must, perforce, sometimes
criticise the man. It is simply another
case of they began it first, and if I get
mad and finish it, don't blame me."
Mrs. Hanley referred with delightful
feminine lngeniousness to the flings
made at her campaigning in Mr.
Hughes' interests.
"But do you think I care a picayune,
a few little Democrats take a shot at
me after I saw what happened in Port
land to those great, big. splendid,
brainy women on the Hughes special?
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but words can never hurt me," she
chanted and had her audience shaking
with joy.
Mexican Situation Discussed.
And if you really want a personally
conducted tour of the Mexican situa
tion you should travel by the word pic
ture route with Mrs. Hanley. You'd
think she'd been right on the border
and in the White House secret chamber!
and along the highways and byways of
Wilson's machinations. She certainly
has the dope on the Mexican situation
and an amazingly fine light was shed
on what she called the "wobblings of
the Democratic party in the Mexican
mess." She took us over to Germany
and into England and had her audience
rolling in its seats when she pictured
the infamous "He kept us out of war,"
slogan.
What war did he keep us out of?"
she queried as if she really thought
someone had Inside information. "Log
ically, geographically, racially, socially
and in every alley we have had no busi
ness in that war and Germany and
England did not want us In it. They
wanted us to stay neutral. We have
the arms and the provisions and the
things they'll need.
Wilson Is Scored.
"We are their storehouse and they
wanted to keep us in that relation to
them. We kept Holland out of war, and
Sweden. Why the claim that Wilson
had anything on earth to do with our
being kept out of war Is too ridiculous
for words. He didn't keep us out. The
warring countries don't want us in.
Wilson truly is the sacred cow of De
mocracy."
This fetched a round of appreciative
chuckles.
Mrs. Hanley speaks convincingly on
Hughes' position on suffrage. She
speaks knowingly, too. for she talked
with Mr. Hughes on this "when he was
In Oregon."
Women love and trust Charles
Evans Hughes, because he understands
them," she said. "He came out fair
and square in their interests and he will
put an end to their present humiliation
by giving them Federal recognition.
And when we get it" here she leaned
forward and smiled deep Into the eyes
of all the women she could encompass
with her glances "when we get that
day, girls, we are going to get together
on one big housecleaning and clean
from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada,"
and the women nudged - one another,
smiled and nodded recognition of an
idea and paid applauding homage to
the charming sister who thought of it.
Republicans for Americanism.
It Is the opinion of Mrs. Hanley, she
told her audience, that there isn't any
one who can follow a non-partisan pol
icy and win out.
"The highest expression of American
ism is voiced in our United States to
day in the Republican party." she said.
"Until Woodrow Wilson went Into the
Presidential chair, we were fairly unit
ed In our conception of Americanism.
Since then we've been shunted off here
and twisted there and turned and modi
fied, until now our flag means no more
to a lot of other nations than a mere
bit of colored cloth. .1 could not be a
non-partisan over seemingly as unim
portant a thins as boiling an esc You
know Emerson eays. things must al
ways be good or bad. Nothing can be
gained by dissipating: forces.
"It la absolutely Impossible to achieve
results without organizing. I advise
all Republicans to etick straight by
their party in a crisis like this. It Is
no time to allow personal preferences
to interfere with a great national is
sue. Nothing is more true than that
no man is greater than his party. You
may prefer a man personally for him
self, but If Vou elect him on the Demo
cratic ticket, when an Issue comes
up in Congress or in the state, that
man Is going to vote according to the
dictates of his party. All differences of
opinion as to the fittest man should be
settled in the primaries, then vote the
straight ticket."
Applanse Is Deafening.
At this Juncture the applause was
deafening and the dainty, "demure little
woman who arouses all this wild en
thusiasm in audiences smiled gayly
through the demonstration.
"Now mind," she said. "I don't say
the Republican party is perfect, but it
!s the most perfect existent party to
day and thus reunited and reconstruct
ed the Republican party stands for the
highest ideals and sentiments not only
of Americanism, but of political Ideals
the world over, and it deserves the sup
port of all loyal Republicans. The
weak-kneed and doubting Thomases
have been led astray by soft words and
should get back; in line quickly and
make good. As for non-partisanship,
from my own bitter experience I tried
It out and found it wanting. You sim
ply dissipate your energy, your vote
and your influence. Organization is
everything, whether It is in business or
politics. Women have entered politics
with men, they have entered on par in
the great game and they should give
and take and not beg for quarter In
tlie sex issue. Too many women hide
behind their petticoats."
Mrs. Hanley Wins People.
The far-famed personality and mag
netism of Mrs. Hanley won her in
stantly to the people in The Dalles. A
huge delegation of representative men
and women met her and Mrs. Bert An
derson, also of Medford, at the train.
Mrs. Anderson is a soloist of note
throughout Southern Oregon and is
giving of her services in song on this
campaign trip. Last night she led the
patriotic singing in which the audence
joined and was heard in two splendid
big solo numbers, scoring an Instan
taneous triumph.
The reception committee which met
the train arriving at noon consisted of:
Mayor and Mrs. J. E. Anderson, Henry
Cue. chairman of the central commit
tee: A. E. Crosby, state committeeman;
H. L. Kuck. chairman of the Hughes

FEWER GO INSANE
State Hospital Head Gives
Credit to Prohibition.
BIENNIAL REPORT IS MADE
Dr. Steiner Calls Attention to Large
Number of Paresis Cases, Mani
festing Syphilis and Cost
ing Public Money. . -
SALEM, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) Pro
hibition In Oregon ha reduced Insanity
in the state, according to Dr. R. Lee
Steiner, superintendent of the Oregon
State Hospital. In his biennial report on
the conduct of the Institution for the
last two years, submitted to the Board
of. Control today.
"During the first nine months Just
preceding prohibition," the report
reads, "there were 35 men received
whose Insanity was due to alcohol, while
for the first nine months after prohibi
tion went into effect only 10 men were
admitted whose insanity resulted from
this cause."
Reciting the causes of insanity as re
vealed by the records of the institution.
Dr. Steiner declares syphilis and alco
hol are the two known causes of a con
siderable percentage of Insanity.
Causes Are Preventable.
"These causes," he continues, "are
of particular importance because they
are preventable. One hundred six men
and nine women were received suffer
ing from general paresis, which Is
simply one of the manifestations of
syphilis. This malady always Is fatal.
The average duration of the disease Is
from two to Ave years.
"These 115 patients will cost the
state over 150,000 for their care and
treatment. It should be borne In mind
that only about four per cent of syphl
litics develop general paresis. On this
basis there would be 25 times 115, or
2875 persons, suffering from syphilis
in that part of the state from which
the Institution receives its patients.
These figures cannot be far wrong."
In concluding this phase of his re
port. Dr. Steiner recommends the en
actment of a law whereby all cases of
the disease shall be reported so an
effort at quarantine may be made.
Modern Methods Used.
Modern methods of treating Oregon's
Insane have worked wonders In Improv
ing the mental and physical condition
of the patients. Dr. Steiner's report
reveals. Employment and amusement
foi the patients have been found the
best remedy. Oregon State Hospital
has now abolished its so-called violent
wards. All who are physically " able
are given work on the asylum farm
ni.der proper guard. The general
health has thus been Improved. The
hospital now has a total of 1572 pa
tients. lOOi being men and 669 women.
At the beginning of the biennluni. Oc
tobti 1, 1914, the population totaled
1576.
During the two years ending Septem
ber 30, 1916, the hospital received 1152
patients; 105 were transferred to the
Pendleton institute; 243 were dis
charged as recovered: 184 were dis
charged as much Improved, and 66
were discharged as not Improved,
the two years 341 patients died.
The last Legislature enacted a
In
pa
and has
are
role law for the state hospitals.
Dr. Steiner declares that the law
proved very satisfactory. There
now 123 patients out on parole.

Divorce in Astoria, but Not
in Oregon, Is Confessed.
Brldrnrooiu-Elect Ask, for License
to Wed Ills Step-Sister and Ad
mits Previous Marriage.
r 1 1 HIS really happened:
JL John W. Cochran, beter known
as "Cupid" Cochran for alliterative
reason and because he hands out the
marriage licenses in County Clerk Cof
fey's office, was questioning a pros
pective bridegroom with wonted ur
banity. He had already elicited the
imormatlon from Hyman H. (Schwartz
of 234 bheridan street, that the young
woman he wished to marry. Belle
Blumenthal, was a step-sister, but not
a blood relative.
"And er were you ever married be
fore?" queried Mr. Cochran. He always
hesitates over this question. It seems
rather personal, though quite necessary
for the record.
"Yes." answered Mr. Schwartz.
