Governor Wlthycotnbe. who does not

be spent to secure office. I have been
making a campaign on very little
money. It la especially gratifying,
therefore, to receive these news an
nouncements, which, of course, are not
paid for.
"In making an analysis of all tha re
ports from different parts of the state
It shows conclusively that practically
all the populous counties are solidly for
' Wlthyeombe. and this gives a big lead
to overcome a possible loaa In other
' court Ilea.
"As tha campaign draws ta a close
it becomes apparent that the weaker
candidates are losing steadily and that
Wtthycombe. as the strongest candi
date. Is gaining steadily. The Olcott
men say It la between their man and
. Wtthycombe; the Simpson men say that
; It Is either Simpson or Wtthycombe;
. the Moeer men claim also that their
1 man will defeat Wlthyeombe, and so It
' is appareat that Wlthyeombe is the
' leader.
"Tha reports from Multnomah show
' everywhere a decided loss In Olcott

candidate ta disappearing like snow be-
i fore a March sun.
"My headquarters here and the 6a

some of the many comments received:
"'In otir country the people think It

I inquired of some shaggy-haired bird

Into the defense fund for tha boya on

I reached down In my pocket and
palled out a dime. It waa the smallest
piece I had. and I crossed my fingers
as I banded It over.
Then I wandered over to where the
Ice cream cones were being peddled and
began to buy some for several little
kids standing around with envious
eyes.
It was n bad play. That Isn't the
"wobbly" way of doings things buying
lea cream cones for kids and l could
see the eyes of suspicion turned In my
direction.

Then I started playing ball with some
of my "Wobbly" friends. And ones
more I failed to see the danger sign.
"I beg your pardon." I said to eome
Swede tnflelder as I rounded second
base and crashed into him, knocking
him on all fours.
"Where do you get that kind of talk?"
he grunted, and a general laugh went
up at the unknown "Wobbly" who had
apologised to anyone.
It was rather tough pickings from
then on.. I quit the game and got over
on the side-line. Pretty eoon I saw
some of the fellows lounging over my
way.
"Say. comrade, where do you hall
from! one husky Individual inquired.
"I ain't never aeen you at none of the
meetings."
"I Just come down to this burg from
Montana," I lied as easily as possible
"I'm Just out here glvln' the Coast the

"What's the good word from our com-
radea la Butte'" he wanted to know.

Bui not being a personal friend of
Muckle McDonald. I didn't want to
start any general "I. W. W." talk, so I
said something about not knowing
much, and eased on over to where the i
women and kids were sitting. It looked
a little safer over there.
They kept getting more suspicious
every minute, and I kept wondering
what was op until I happened to glance
down and see my button of the third
liberty loan on my coat lapel. That
seemed to be what hurt the boys. A
liberty bond button at a "Wobbly" pic
nic doesn't eeera to be In good form.
There was only one other guy wearing
one. and I found oat later that he was
a secret service man.
"When are wa going to have some
talks?" I wanted to know, for I figured
a good "Wobbly" talk out In the coun
try where they thought nobody was
listening might make good reading.
"Oh, we'll have those after while;
wait till tha game's over, and then
we'll cut loose," somebody spoke up.
Reporter Ready o Go Away.
But they didn't have any "Wobbly"
talks In behalf of those gays back
there In Chicago. Along about eating

fellow yelled, and tha staff was off.

looked good to see Sheriff Hurlburt
and his deputies and some of the Fed

to call it enough.
I guess maybe I was the toughest
looking one of ths lot, for big Fred
Tlchenor, the deputy U. S. Marshal,
took a good look at me and said:
"Well, well. If here Isn't our friend.

Statements that home entertainments
and recreation provided for soldiers and
sailors In cities and towns near Army
and Navy camps are impairing the ef
flciency of the men are emphatically
denied by Raymond J3. Fosdica, cnair
man of the War and Navy Departments'
commissions on training camp activi
ties. In a statement received by
Charles Lloyd. Portland representative
of the commission, he characterized as
a direct contradiction of the Govern
ment's policy the admonition that
"the time has come for the public to
'keen hands ofr our men In service.
"That time has no more come," Mr.
Fosdick declared, "than the time has
come to stop conserving wheat or sup
porting Government loans. Indeed, the
preservation of normal social relation
ships between the public and the men
in training is an essential part of our
military programme.
The statements calling forth Mr.
Fosdlck's denial were made In an edi
torial published in the May Issue of
a prominent magazine. The editorial
declared that the entertainment of sol
diers and sailors In private homes of
war camp communities Is proving det
rlmental to the men In service and
that over 90 per cent of the social
functions provided for the men outside
oft the camps have taken the form of
dances, which, kept up till all hours,
sent them back to camp impaired in
physical vitality. It concluded with
the injunction that the time had come
for the public to keep its hands off
the men in service.
It is not true that the entertain
ment of the men in service in private
homes has resulted to the detriment
of the men instead of to their bene
fit,' " Mr. Fosdick asserted. "There has
been no change in the attitude at the
Government "toward home hospitality.
In fact, with hundreds of thousands of
men pouring into the training camps.
trie Government desires more than ever
that the people of America continue
to offer to them the wholesome Influ
ences of their homes.
"Naturally, in the entertainment of
thousands of men in private homes,
there have been some instances of hos
pitality overdone or taken advantage
of. Some women, unwisely, have
flooded soldiers vith sweets and un
necessary 'comforts' and have written
doleful letters to their boys These
things and the 'godmother' idea are
justifiably discouraged. But a sharp
distinction should be drawn between
pink-tea sentimentality toward the
soldier and the organized hospitality
which is supervised by the Government
"The recreation provided in camp
communities Is not a hit-or-miss af

alcohol and opiates, for these make
the nervous condition much worse.
