OPPOSITION IS DEVELOPED
in
Case of Truman H. Newberry
Michigan Mentioned Specifically;
Costs of His Campaign Said
to Hare Been $176,568.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 17. Investipa
tion bgun by the Department of Jus
tice into expenditures of funds in re
cent Senatorial and Congressional cam
paigns in a number of states may be
followed by inquiries by the Senate
lections committee into expense ac
counts of candidates for nomination to
the Senate.
A resolution authorising; the commit
tee to inquire into expenditures in the
recent primary in Michigan, in which
Truman 11. Newberry received the Re
publican nomination for Senator, and
in any other state where large expendi
tures appear unwarranted, was Intro
duced in the Senate today by Senator
Pomerene. of Ohio, Democrat.
The resolution was referred to the
lections committee after some discus
ion.
While the Senate was discussing the
resolution it became known that the
Department of Justice had begun an in
vestigation into campaign expenditures
in New York. Illinois. Michigan, unio.
West Virginia and other states. .
In offering his resolution. Senator
Pomerene filed a copy of the expense
account of Mr. Newberry in his cam
paign. which showed total contribu
tions of S178.S5S. and a total expend!
ture of $176,568. Contributions to the
fund, according to the report, ranged
from 11 to 199.000.
Opinion regarding the Senate author
Ity to conduct such an investigation
before a candidate was elected to office
was divided.
Senator Pomerene declared there was
Bo question as to the Senate's author
ity, but Senator Lodge and other re
publican leaders said they did not think
the Senate had such powers. If the
Investigation is to be mads, however,
Senator Lodge urged that it be sweep,
ing and apply to all states.
Senator Townsend defer1e" Mr. New-
berry and, while not opposing ihe In
vestigation, said this was not the time
to make it.
Denial that politics prompted the
resolution was made by Senator Pom
erene. while Senator Kenyon, Republi
can of Iowa, declared that if Congress
permitted these enormous expenditures
to go uinoticsd. a poor man would
soon be unable to be elected to the Senate.

Manager Smith.
John L. Ktheridge.' state director of
organization, who returned yesterday
from his trip with the "Yellow Demon'

"They were so genuinely Joyous
about getting to work," said Mr. Eth
erldge, "that 1 told them their duty is
to see that Truman Butler, the county
chairman, reports without delay the
full pledging of the $190,000 quota. We
may depend upon them to be among
the first Oregon counties to win the
race.
General Guy W. Talbot commanding
the city forces, 'believes that Portland
will attain its preliminary pledge ob
Jectives not later than Saturday of this
week, after four days of active solicit
ing. He bases his confidence on the
belief that the organization is more
completely perfected than in prior
drives and that the temper of the city
is flamlngly patriotic
Pesters Are Available.
Portland merchants and business men
are urged to avail themselves of the
large supply of liberty loan posters,
of various designs, which are offered
to them for window display. The post
ers may be had upon application to
Sam B. Archer, at 101 Northwestern
Bank building.
Strange bits of Interest, merry and
pathetic, drift into Liberty Temple, just
as they were accustomed to in other
drives. There was the woman who
had written a poem about "the brave
boys overseas," and who was positive
that the loan workers could find a
publisher for It: there was the youth
who asked Willis K. Clark, executive
secretary, to supply the missing rhyme
in a poem that was to make said youth
exceedingly famous and the word was
"ribbon"; there was even the excitedly
reminiscent lady who lost her hat on
the Columbia Highway during Grand
Army week, and who wanted to know
if It had been found.
Facts Coacera All.
But the facts of the fourth liberty
loan are what concerns Portland today,
for they will be needed before night.
Make your pledges only to workers
wearing the distinctive red. white and
blue badge of the official solicitor; the
terms are 10 per cent at the time of
signing. 20 per cent of the total No
vember 21, 20 per cent on December
19. 20 per cent on January IS. 1919,
and 30 per cent,, or the balance due,
January SO, 1919. Payment may be
made through any bank in Portland or
Multnomah County, and checks for
liberty bonds should be made payable
to the bank.
Owing to delay in receiving the metal
solicitors' badges, previously described,
substitute badges have replaced them.
The official badges now are red, white
and blue on a circular field, bearing
he wording, "Fourth Liberty Loan,
Authorized Solicitor. 1918."

Oae Qnrstloa Pertlaeac,
For 10 days to come, in. every pre
cinct of Portland and in every district
of Oregon, there is but one question
pertinent above all others "Are Tou
Pledged?" Not later than the morning
of September 2S, the official opening of
the campaign, it is Oregon s promise
that the state shall answer with one
voice and a full quota to back it. Half
to each, Portland and the outer districts
must reply with $40,000,000.
Challenging the city, on behalf of
the country. John L. Etherldge, state
director of organization, yesterday
afternoon issued his cartel of rivalry
and defiance to Guy W. Talbot, general
in command of the Portland field
forces. The wager has been taken.
Henceforth state and city are to vie for
first place, for the state director
pledged his faith that every county in
the state would report a full pledge
before Portland and Multnomah County
announce similar success.
State Haa Beea Going Tw Days.
The task to which Portland turns
today has been in progress through
out the state for two days past. The
confidence of state officer is not un
warranted in the face of facts that are
constantly reaching headquarters by
special message. This district is half
done, another is all but finished,

Here's a straightfor
ward, man-to-man
talk on a subject
vital importanci
I CM:
This Reason, you'll
pay more than usual for your
clothes or you will not get the
quality to which you have been
accustomed.
Forget the price. The value
of clothes can be measured only
in terms of service rendered.
You men who demand, and
must obtain, genuine service
from your clothes, will find, if
you do not already know, that
only the best is truly cheap.
Well qualified judges have
been good enough to place our
clothes at the top of the list
not surpassed by even the finest
custom tailoring.
If we could take you through
our shops, and show you per
sonally the care and attention
that go into every detail of the
making, we would be able to
demonstrate very conclusively
that there are none better made
than
Every article that enters into
the making of these clothes must con
form to the highest known standards.
Woollens must be all wooL
The assurance of the textile manufac
turer is not enough. The fabric must .
be subjected to the so-called "boiling
test" in which the wool is dissolved
by caustic potash, but if cotton is
present it remains unchanged. The
slightest trace of cotton means rejec
tion of the cloth.
Colors must be lasting. In
order to determine this point, every
pattern is tested under the rays jof a
specially constructed, powerful elec
tric arc lamp which produces on color
the same effect as long exposure to
brilliant sunlight
Woollens must be standard
, weight. They are classified according
to weights per yard, such as twelve
ounce, fourteen-ounce, sixteen-ounce,
etc Every piece of woollen used in
Stein-Bloch Clothes is tested to be
sure that it is full weight
Every piece of woollen is care
fully inspected. On a large frame, fac
ing a strong, clear, north light, the
cloth is slowly unwound and spread '
before a trained inspector, whose duty
it is to detect every imperfection and
mark it in such a manner that it will
be avoided when the garment is cut
All fabrics are thoroughly
shrunk. The London cold water proc
ess is used, in which the woollens are
saturated by means of wet cloths fold
ed in alternate layers, thus giving
more even distribution of moisture
than can be obtained by any other
method. No wearer of Stein-Bloch
Smart Clothes need ever fear further
shrinking of the clothes. I
Canvas, linens, tapes, etc.,
used in linings and trimmings, are also
subjected to the same thorough
shrinking.
All fabrics are air-dried after
shrinking. Experience has shown that
drying in the natural air, although
much slower, gives better results
than drying with artificial heat.
Consequently, the wet woollens, can- '
vas and linens are hung on frames in
lofts with windows open, except in .
very severe weather, and allowed to
remain until dry.
After shrinking and drying,
the sparkling finish of the woollens is
gone. To restore this nap and finish,
the cloth is folded between alternate
layers of smooth, hard calendar boards
and subjected to hydraulic pressure of
forty thousand pounds to the square
foot When taken from the press,
the wool has even more life, snap and
sparkle than beforeshrinking.
Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes
have always avoided tbe freakish and
the extreme. They have, rather, ex
pressed the dignity and refinement
that are foremost in demand by the
real red-blooded American, yet they
have been distinguished by unique
style features conforming to the need
of the men for whom they were de
signed. . . "''
Different ages, different
tastes, different figures, and different
environments' all demand models and
styles to meet their own peculiar re
quirements. Each group is studied by
itself for lines, for sizes and for
woollens and the style best adapted
for the group becomes the standard
style. A master-pattern is designed,
from which the range of patterns is
determined and made.
With the longs, shorts, stouts
and regulars in each size, and the
many sizes in each model, there are
literally hundreds of patterns to fit as
many different types and sizes of men.
Consequently, unless a man
is unusually abnormal in figure, there
is at least one pattern in the Stein
Bloch shops that will produce a gar
ment as perfect-fitting as if it were
made solely and specially for him.
Accuracy in tailoring begins
with the marking. The difference in
the width of chalk lines may measure
the difference between good tailoring
and bad. When the patterns are
laid upon the woollens, spread out
on long tables, the outlines are traced
with chalk that is sharpened to an
extremely fine edge.
So, also, in the cutting, every
stroke of the shears must be exact In
order to avoid the variation between
the top and bottom layers that gener
e rally occurs when several thicknesses
of woollens are being cut at the same
time, Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes are
cut one suit at a time with shears.
These and other special pre
cautions in the tailoring may seem like
unnecessary details, but it is the care
ful attention to just such seeming
trifles that has resulted in the well
known Stein-Bloch perfection.
Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes
are hand-tailored. This means that in
every operation where we believe
skilled hand-tailoring will accomplish
better results than machine work, the
former is used.
For example, the shaping of
the collar and the roll of the lapel are
obtained by hundreds of unseen
stitches worked in as the lining is
skillfully rolled over the finger. This
shaping can be obtained in no other
way; and it is .such work that has
earned for Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes
the reputation for lasting service.
The style is tailored in not
merely pressed in by the skill of a
man with a hot iron.
. There are hundreds of other
details that even the finest custom
tailors rarely ever bother about; for
instance, the pressing after each indi
vidual sewing operation to insure ac
curacy in style and fit; the matching
of the trimmings and sewing silk
with the colors in the fabric; the ex
act length of the button shanks to
facilitate buttoning and to prevent un
necessary pulling at the buttonholes;
the use of all-linen canvas and tapes in
trimmings; special reinforcements of
pockets to prevent sagging and pull
ing away; and so on.
Clothing even good cloth
ing can be made in much less time,
and with many short cuts in the mak
ing. But there is only one standard
the ideal of highest quality in the
making of Stein-Bloch Smart Clothes,
and any garment that does not con
form in every respect with this stand
ard is unworthy to bear the Stein
Bloch labeL
The additional time and at
tention to detail that are pot into the
making and tailoring of Stein-Bloch
Smart Clothes are more than compen
sated for in the additional service and
satisfaction they give to their wearers.
