THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1918. 11 WILSON IS ROUSING OHIIEPUBLn Campaign Hitherto Quiet Be coming Lively One. PLEA HAS STARTED THINGS Belief Is That President's Partisan Appeal Will Swine Bis Vote, to His Opponents. It ha remained for Mr. Wilson to kut pep into the Republican campaign In Oregon. Prior to the President's de mand that only Democratic candidates j ntheT than to adjrurn politics, the polls November 5. The Republican candidates of Tamhill County are unanimous in considering" politics prac Ilea 11 y adjourned and ha e been con ducting- a very quiet campaign. It does . certainly appear that the President Is 'attempting to capitalise the present situation for the purpose of party aggrandizement. The effect in Tarn hill County. I am satisfied, will be to solidify the Republican voters and con sequently elect the entire Republican ticket. At present we should to a great extent disregard party politics, and for that reason I consider the President's radical exhibition of partisanship at this time very unfortunate Linn Coaaty Counted Safe. Ilnn County, E. D. Cusick. Albany Owing to the influenza epidemic and interest in the war it is hard to rouse interest in political matters, but the sentiment is strong that Governor Withycombe and 'Senator McNary are safe and competent to support the con tinuation of the war to a successful conclusion, and it will be impossible to alienate the support of the voters from these tried statesmen. Republicans Are Confident. Tamhill County, R. L. Conner, Mc- Minnville Comment in Yamhill County upon President Wilson's political let ter is generally to the effect that it was uncalled for and is an effort to use present war conditions for political pur- be elected to Congress the campaign! as previously declared by him. It is was a perfectly ladylike affair, no more I also considered an attack upon Repub excittnar than a pink tea: none of th Republican leaders in Portland or else where In the state cared much to dia cuss politics. Now all is changed. The Republicans, following the ex ample set by the President, are De coming active. They had adjourned politics, but when the President called for a partisan fight he resurrected th Republican party spirit and now the Republicans are awake. It is the belief In political circles that the action o the President will cause a large vol to be cast by Republicans who other wise were giving little heed to matters political- The net result will mean. Republicans say. that the Republlca candidates will roll up a landslide ma Jority against their Democratic ppo nenta. Resentment Made Clear, How Mr. Wilson's action Is resente In Oregon is shown by the appended statements received at Republican state headquarters: Douglas County, George Neuner, Jr., P.oseburg Douglas) County will giv an overwhelming majority to both Senator McNary and Governor Withy combe on November 6. The fathers . and mothers of the boys at the fron feel that Oregon owes a debt of gratl tude to these patriotic officials, who have so efficiently and loyally support ed the Administration in this crisis and kept our state in the forefront of every war activity. The voters of Douglas will show their appreciation next Tues day. Lincoln County, B. F. Jones. New port Interest In the war overshadows all others. Senator McN'ary has made good and has backed the President in all war measures. Lincoln County voters will put him over the top by a great majority. Oregon s war Governor will have a two-to-one majority or bet ter. Action Held rawnrranted. Marion County. Ben F. West, Salem The President's letter will bring out a stronger Republican vote in this county. The people are resenting such uncalled-for partisan insinuations. Marion County is back of the President on all war measures, but is not back of htm when it comes to injecting politics into the war. Polk County. D. M. Hampton, Mon mouth Polk County Republicans are amazed at the announcement of Presi dent Wilson that it is unpatriotic to vote the Republican ticket this FalL ' Nothing that bus happened In years has so stirred UP members of our party ar this action by the Pr?sident. We In dorse every word of the reply made by P.epublican Senators and Congressmen. Polk County haa gone over the top on ' every call for money with which, to carry on the war and for volunteers lor the Army. All draft calls have been promptly and cheerfully met. We do ' Yiot believe this is a Democratic war. As far as appearances go the Presi dent's appeal in Polk County will have a contrary effect, for It has aroused Republicans to action. They consider it a personal affront to their patriot ism. Repnbllcann Stand Pat. Wasco County. D. J. Cooper, The ralles No change In situation in , Wasco County. All Republicans . are Handing pat for McNary and Withy- . combe. A change at this time would -l.e ridiculous. The President's appeal only tends to cinch the election of Withycombe and McNary. Both will receive a large majority in this county. You can bank on old Wasco. Yamhill County. Sam Laughlin, Yam hill Yamhill is a strongly Republican -f ounty and Is Justly proud of her splen did record for patriotism in all war activities. Any Insinuation from what ever source, whether expressed or im plied, as to the quality of her citizens' patriotism will be greatly resented at HAIR COMING OUT? j Dandruff causes a feverish irritation of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair cornea out fast.

It is generally believed that the Presi dent's letter will have the effect of causing Republicans loyally to support the nominees of their party. Yamhill County, Clarence Butt. New berg Republicans and people gener ally of Newberg. think well of. Gov ernor Withycombe and Senator Mc Nary. Each has done his full duty to Ms state, his Government and the allies of his Government in this the world's greatest crisis. Senator McNary has, by his untiring efforts, familiarized himself with publio questions to a marked degree and has become a val ued Senator. Clatsop County In Line. Clatsop County, G. C. Fulton. Astoria The voters of Clatsop County are so earnestly engaged In raising money for and prosecuting war work, that politics is but little discussed. Yet it is apparent here that a conviction pre vails that both Withycombe and Mc Nary should be elected, largely be cause of their 100 per cent American ism and unquestioned ability. I predict each will carry Clatsop County by at least 00 majority. ELECTION GAMPAIGrJ ONLY A WEEK TO RUf. dock.

Washington Officials Fail to Return Permission for Approval of Building Permits. Sixty-five permits for the erection of residences under tne provisions of the more homes' campaign of the Port land housing committee are now in readiness, with at least 200 more In prospect. With the campaign scarcely at its inception, these comprise the first results of the drive for a unit of 1000 homes, which are to be constructed during the next three months. The initial squad of new homes nnds representation in every residential dis- rict of the city, and represents only hose instances in which arrangements with the real estate owners have been horoughly completed. Similar In breadth of scope is the choice of type. which, through the architectural plans afforded by the housing committee. range in cost from SIdOO to 3a00. Prevailing weather has been roundly scored for interference with the plan of campaign, inasmuch as the rain re arded construction work on the bungalow headquarters of the housing rompany, in process of erection at Fourth and Stark streets. The etruc ure was to have been under cover by Sunday night, but rain stopped the con struction work and completion is now efcrred by several days. Further delay in the progress of the housing campaign is caused by the fail ure of Washington officials promptly o return permission for local approval of building permits, according to Jesse E. Curry, building commissioner for the council. Numerous applications are idly awaiting action, and it is hoped by local officials that permission to grant permits will be received not later than today. in your hand and rub it into the ecalp.

Election will be held one week from today and all the campaigning to be performed must be confined to the next seven days. From ' the general aspect of the situation, at this lato hour, the finish will be almost as dull as the earlier stages. However, there Is etill time for fireworks and a skyrocket or two can be expected almost any day. In the municipal campaign, with one short-term City Commissioner to elect and two long-term Commissioners, various candidates have been strug gling manfully to interest the general voter, with what success cannot at this time be predicted. S. C Pier 1s making the most noticeable campaign among the five aspirants for the long-term of Commissioner. Commissioner Bigelow is resting chiefly on his record. Mr. Kellaher Sends Out Letters. Commissioner Kellaher's campaign has reached the letter-writing stage and thousands of letters have been mailed, each containing a few of his cards, with the request that the cards be distributed. The campaign of Oscar Home is being conducted principally among the labor organizations, as he is the labor candidate for one of the commissionershlps. Arthur Baines, the fifth of the group, has. apparently, made no effort to reach the public ear or eye. For. short term there are T. I Per kins arid A. G. Rushlight. The one elected will serve eight months and collect something better than J3000 for the service. At first they added the only seat there has been to the munici pal election, but after the preliminary skirmish to see whether each could keep the other off the ballot there has been a deadly stillness regarding them. Nevertheless, each expects his friends to do their duty. State Senator Free-for-All. For the vacancy in the State Senate from Multnomah County, where the name of aspirants must be written in, two or three men are said to have pre pared cards and are having them cir culated. Before the day of election it is believed this spot on the ballot wli develop interest. It is a free-for-all for State Senator and the man who can have his name written in by the largest number of voters will bring home the bacon. The same situation is true of th election of a Justice of the Supreme Court. There are now four candidates in the field: Conrad P. Olson, tempo rarily appointed to fill the vacancy Judge John S. Coke, of Coos Bay; Judge J. U. Camnpell, of Oregon City, and Judge A. S. Bennett, of The Danes. Judge Bennett is the only Democrat who has submitted himself lor the po sition. Each of the Quartet Is making as active a campaign as .the dignity of the position and the peculiar circum stances warrant. Wilson's Appeal Stirs Voters. The epidemic has attacked politics, following up the blow of war, and the ban nn meetings has caused candidates to turn to personal effort. Fresiden Wilson's appeal to partisan politics. however. Is expected to bring out larger vote than would otherwise have been at the polls. PORTLAND SHIPS "JIAKE GOOD" A. B. C. Denniston Writes of Seeing Vessels From Here in Honolulu.

Miss Clara Wold was due to ar rive last night to participate in the campaign. Miss Wold is editor of the Suffragist, of Washington, D.

The constant tales of maritime disaster an nounced each week for the Pacific was again added to today when Hobba, Wall & Co., of this city, was notified from Crescent City that the steam schooner Mandalay, under command of Captain Friedman, had gone ashore 1G miles south of the port and may prove a total loss. The dispatch said that one of the boats with members of the crew had made Crescent City and that the captain and the rest of the crew were stand ing by the ship, waiting for a rescue ship. It is probable the steamer will be turned over to the insurance people and they will have charge of the salvaging work. Organization of the ocean shipping agency, with M. J. Buckley as president, was an nounced today. The new organization will engage in the movement of cargo carriers between this port and the Orient, beginning with the sailing of the Nankai Maru from Yokohama, December 15. This will be fol lowed by the movement of other steamers at regular intervals and In another year it is expected that a considerable fleet of large. modern carriers will be engaged for the company. Buckley was formerly freight di rector for the Pacific Mall Steamship Com pany and has a thorough knowledge of the trade conditions abroad. Dr. David E.

CANDiDflTES IIP SLACK BESPOXSE TO OALI FOR NEW IDEAS IS SLOW. Home Industry League Complains of Apparent Lack of Interest In State Development. line available it will be deposited close to the east shore in- front- of Albina I port development' here in Portland." " Candidates for city and etate offices to whom the Home Industry League has addressed inquiries have not con tributed much in the way of sugges tions for constructive worki "Most of the candidates have no idea of our plan," said A. G. Clark, manager of the league. "Many of the candidates have expressed approval of the idea of fostering home industries. They are willing to subscribe to a pro gramme. But we are not merely ask ing support for a fixed policy. What we want is their active interest in de veloping workable ideas that will make Oregon permanently prosperous. Believing that men qualified to sit in the Oregon Legislature and to serve as city commissioners should be men of ability and constructive ideas, it is' umrisin? that not more than one- third have even responded to our let ters. "We contemplate publishing a slacker list, names of candidates who have been twice asked for opinions and sug gestions but have failed to make any reoly. A few thougntrui answers nave come in and it is our aim to give these publicity. Eugene E. smitn, canaioate lor tne Legislature, says: "It is my desire to cast my vote at all times to encourage capital, to en courage the employer and to encourage labor. If through the shortsightedness, or stubbornness, or selfishness of -any one or two -or all of these interests they fail to come to the Legislature with a. programme in which all are fairly represented, I shall then be com pelled to use my best judgment. " 'It may not be anjiss to say that the Home Industry League might do much for local Industry by the active encouragement of the bond issue for Just as Portlanders are concerned vitally in the 5,000,000 bond issue to be authorized by voters a week from today, the United States Shipping Board has issued an official statement bearing on what it proposes in making a survey of all harbors in the United States, so that port bodies may be ad vised what measures to adopt to be in line to handle the trade following the war. The principal features contemplated are set forth as follows: Along with the record-bre-Lklnr produc tion of ships for the war and after the Shipping Board has undertaken the task of expanding th port and harbor, facilities of the country to meet the needs of the greatest maritime commerce of modern times. This is a case of one huge enter prise begetting another. A doubling, and perhaps trebling, of docks, piers, marine railways and terminal facil ities In general of Atlantic, Gulf and Pa cific ports will probably be called for by the swiXtly increasing American Merchant Marine. To provide for the fullest possible service of the ships, once they are re leased from war traffic, even new ports may become necessary. Great Possibilities Ahead. These are the prospects as they are al ready shaping up in the preliminary studies of the situation which have been made by the recently created Port and Harbors Fa cilities Commission of the Shipping Board. Edward F. Carry, named chairman of the commission because of his experience as director of the Division of Operations of the Shipping Board, will have before him shortly complete data of the present in adequate facilities. The comprehensive sur vey instituted by the commission wlU be a constantly used basis of study for future developments. In connection therewith the chairman and the experts attached to , the commis sion will personally inspect the facilities at all the larger ports of the country, and obtain first-hand information, on proposed new ports. Port Facilities Inventoried. For the first time in the history of port development in the United States under the direction of Chairman Carry a complete inventory of port facilities has been under taken and is now well along. Every port used by ocean-going traffic has been re quested to forward to the Port Facilities Commission detailed data concerning its docks, marine railways, terminal arrange ments in general, repair plants and the en- j trances and clearances In its domestic and foreign trade all this data covering the past five years. In addition, every dock and repair plant has been requested to fill out a questionnaire calling for information concerning the type of Its facilities, present condition, exact lo cation, whether or not this location is ad vantageous for the most efficient handling of shiDS. the terms, rates and conditions on which ships are docked, the number of ships docked during the past five years, the aver age length of time each ship was in dock and a brief statement explaining the nature of work done. All porta where coal and oil are handled have been asked to equip the commission with full information about their facil ities for handling the tra-ue in those first necessities. Here Is perhaps the most im portant of all the coastwise trades In which past performances have been handicapped by inadequate facilities a trade, as revealed during 1917 and the present year, limited only by shipping and port facilities. Consolidation Committee Reports. At a special meeting of the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce, called at noon yesterday, the port con solidation and improvement committee made a report on a conference held with the Dock Commission Saturday forenoon. Bert C. Ball, chairman, said the com mittee and the Dock Commission reached a satisfactory plan of proced ure. The rock Commission, he said, invited the naming of a committee of business men by the Chamber of Com merce, with which It would be glad to confer when working out its plan for port improvement and also gave as surance that it would be glad to confer fully and completely with the Port Commission and all other interests having experience or knowledge in re spect to port development and the need for such work In this harbor. The board of directors accepted the report of the special committee and in dorsed the recommendations of the committee for the naming of a-perma nent group of business men to act with the two official commissions in what ever capacity they might be useful The port consolidation and improve ment committee was designated for this purpose as it had been najned as permanent committee on the subject until a great port improvement project should be well toward completion. The members of the committee are B. C. Ball, chairman; J. A. Cranston Nathan Strauss, C. P. Adams, L D. Hunt, Max H. Houser, J. B. Kerr. Marine Notes.
