TOUR STARTS IN OCTOBER
Second Front Porch Speech Is De
livered to Delegation From
Vayne County, Ohio.
MARION. O.. Aug. 4. Striking at
article 10 as a menace to tranquil
relations among American citizens,
Senator Harding declared in a front
porch speech today if he had to choose
he "would rather have industrial and
social peace at home than command
international peace of the world."
"It Is folly." he said, "to think of
blending Greek and Bulgarian. Italian
and Slovak, or making any of them
rejoicingly American',, when the land
of adoption sits' in Judgment on the
land from which he came.
"We need to be rescued from the
visionary and fruitless pursuit of
peace through super-government. I
do not want Americans of foreign
birth making their party alignments
on what we mean to do for some na
tion In the old world. Our need is
concert, nut antipathies of long in'
her it a nee."
Vlnltors Interrupt With Cheers.
The speech was delivered to a dele
gation from Wayne county. Ohio, who
greeted the candidate with cheers and
interrupted frequently with applause.
tn 'conference with other callers
earlier the nominee declared his ad
herenCe to the front-porch policy and
indicated he expected to make no
speeches away from Marion until Oc
tober, lie declined an Invitation they
brought to address the West Virginia
Republican club on August 12.
It was said at his headquarters that
his position would not suspend tenta
tive plans for speaking trips later
and that some definite decision might
be expected at the conference of re
publican chiefs in New York tomor
row. Anti-Saloon Head Calls.
Among the senator's other callers
were Mrs'. Abby Scott Baker of the
national woman's party, who asked
for more help to secure ratification
of the suffrage amendment, and
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the anti-saloon league, who said he
paid only a personal call.
Mrs. Baker said she was well
pleased with her talk with the nomi
nee and had been promised definite
action toward securing a favorable
vote by the Tennessee legislature.
Arriving on a special train, more
than two hours early, the Wayne
county delegation marched past the
Harding residence in a cheering col
umn, while the nominee arid his wife
reviewed them, from a vacant lot a
half block away they serenaded head
quarters with a band until time for
their formal appearance.
Taggart Makes Speech.
A short speech of greeting was
made by Judge Frank Taggart.
Tomorrow Senator Harding will re.
ceive a delegation from Ohio Stat,
university, but he does not intend to
make a speech. Besides this delega
tion, only two others have been deft
nitely announced, and today one of
these, a group of pottery workers
from East Liverpool, O., postponed its
engagement because of inability to
secure reduced railway rates. The re
maining date is September 25, when
the American Defense society is to
hear an address.
Senator Harding today asserted It
would be unwise for this country to
permit "our activities in seeking for
peace in the old world to blind us to
the essentials of peace at home," and
added that "if America can be made
to forget the attempted barter of na
tionality, well and good," but that
"when nationality is surrendered to
internationality, little else matters
and all appeal is vain."
l'act Breaka Faith.
Taking up the league of nations.
Senator Harding declared it to be the
other extreme to a referendum on a
proposed declaration of war.
"1 emphatically agree," he said,
"Unit no authority other than con
gress may call our boys to battle.
Accepting this truth, why make a
covenant which violates the good
faith of nations?
"Suppose." he continued, "that un
der article 10 a programme of armed
force is agreed upon, and the con
gress of the United States declines to
respond. The executive would be
called upon to carry on a war with
out constitutional authority, or we
should prove our compact no more
than a scrap of paper. We are on
the aide of both safety and honor to
hold for ourselves the decision of our
obligations to the world.
Internationalism Hit.
"Governor Coolidge spoke the other
day of the rescue of America from
the reactions of war. Wv also need
to be rescued from the visionary
and fruitless pursuit of peace through
- supergovernment. 1 do not want

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. (By . the
Associated Press.) Five destroyers
are .patrolling the entrance to the
Miami, Fla., harbor under orders
from President Wilson to prevent, by
force if necessary the landing of
cable the Western Union Telegraph
company is having laid from Bar
bados, -a British possession in the
West Indies.
A British cable vessel, the Colonia.
has been chartered by - the company
to land the cable which would con
nect with a British cable line from
Barbados to South America. At the
state department it was stated today
that the British embassy had been
asked to Inform the master of the
vessel that such a landing would
violate American law.
Officials explained there was sig
nificance in the fact that the vessel
was British, that she probably was
the only cable craft available to the
company. Work on the cable was
begun last summer. Some time ago
the Western Union company applied
to the state department for a permit
to land the wire at Miami, but offic
cials said action had been delayed
pending the holding of the interna
tional communications - congress to
meet here September 15.

Two Utah Officials Tender Resig
nations With Statement De
nouncing Radicalism.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. Aug. 4.
Two leaders in Utah activities of the
farmer-labor party tonight made pub
lic a joint letter of resignation to
George Crosby, state chairman of the
party, charging that Industrial Work
ers of the World were in control of
the party.
They were H. A McCollum, state
vice-chairman, and Charles A. Wea
ver, assistant secretary of the state
organization.
The two former officers of the party
recited a number of facts which they
said tended to prove that L W. W.
influences had been active in the
party, accused some members of that
organization of seeking to subvert
the new party to their own ends, and
made a general denunciation of radi
calism. The letter called, attention to pro
nouncements by Parley P. Christen
sen, the party's, presidential nominee,
against the I. W. V., and salt he had
failed to live up to these statements.
Both signers of the letter live here,
and this also is Christensen's home
Reciting the reasons which led them
to aid in the formation of the new
party, the writers quoted Christensen
as saying "he would resent the ex
ercising of the I. W.. W. vote in the
new party's behalf." It continued: -
"The farmer-labor party delegates
had barely returned home before they
began to form plans to control the
new party and . '. . began to pursue
their own radical ends. Christensen
... has sacrificed his integrity to
the labor unions and the I. W. W."
The letter explains that the signers
are not attacking ail unions, but only
those Inclined to radicalism. It goes
on to say that "I. W. W. interests"
are "operating under the misnomer of
the farmer-labor party" and adds that
"no law-abiding . citizen would dare
belong to It (tlae farmer-labor party)."
EMPLOYES ARE LET OUT

Movement Increased That All Un
filled Orders May Be Shipped
Before Rate Advance.
Every available freight car on the
Northern Pacific syatero is being sent
Into the northwest in order to give
relief to lumber operators and per
mit them to ship all unfilled orders
before the new advanced freight rates
become effective the latter part of
this month, I
The Northern Pacific Is even going
so far as to take the crews of the
work trains in order to increase
this movement of empty cars Into
the northwest territory.
Word of this movement was con
tained la a telegram received yes
terday by F. J. Fbgarty, assistant
general freight agent, from J. E.
Woodworth, vice-president of the
Northern Pacific, in charge of trans
portation. Local traffic experts unite in as
serting that the new freight rates, if
maintained according to the Increase
permitted by the interstate commerce
commission, will work a serious hard
ship on the lumber industry of the
northwest and lumber operators are
now making every effort to ship out
all orders to outeide points before
these new rates are made effective.

There are in Oregon 3493 adult Jap

and lease 7911 acres more. Business
investments of Japanese in the state
have a value of $860,000. Since 1913
there has been a nominal decrease in
realty holdings of the Japanese of
875 acres.
Such are the figures compiled by
the Japanese association of Oregon
and submitted to the congressional
committee on immigration and natur
alization, which has been holding in
vestigations In California" and Wash
ington dealing with the problem of
admission and land tenancy of ori
entals. As no hearing is to be held
in Oregon, the statistics for the state
have been forwarded to the commit
tee. The Japanese association re

. As the result of the working of
the "gentlemen's agreement." the
number of the Japanese men in this
state has greatly decreased within
the past ten years, and it was only
by the increase of women and chit
dren that the Japanese population
has maintained its size, without sub
stantial decrease.
Thus, in speaking of the earning
capacity of Japanese people, the at
tention la called to a marked differ
ence between their average earning
capacity at the present time and that
of the former days, when the Jap
anese population consisted almost
wholly of male adults.
Of the Japanese laborers in various
lines of industries, the largest num
ber is employed by the railroad, and
then come lumber-mill employes, "farm
t named. Those employed by the rail
roads connected with the logging op
erations receive the highest wages
nowadays, many of them being paid
$5.40 per day of eight hours, while
common laborers employed in lumber
mills receive $5.
Farm Handa Get 95.
Japanese farm hands are paid at
present j per day on an average,
some of them receiving as high as $6,
In all these lines Japanese laborers
are paid the same wages as those of
other nationalities, and In certain
instances tney receive higher wages
than white laborers.
The total amount of capital invested
by Japanese in various lines of busi
ness, including stores, hotel and room
ing houses, bath houses, laundries.
restaurants, barber shops, etc., is esti
mated as $860,000, while the total
gross receipts during the year 1919 are
placed at $900,000.

Oregon follows: Number of farms, 230
land owned (a) 2185 acres; land leased
(b) T911 acres; (a) includes the land

Tract Boanht Recently.
As to the land recently purchased in
central Oregon jointly by American
and California Japanese, its acreage
is not obtainable and is not include
in the above figures.
The statistics taken at the close o
the year 1913 give the figures of the
land owned by Oregon Japanese as
3060 acres and. compared with those
figures of the present statistics, the
Japanese holdings of land in this state
show a decrease of 875 acres.
This is due to the fact that during
the past few years, while there have
been a number of new purchases by
Japanese on one hand, several large
tracts held by Japanese residents on
the other hand, were at different times
sold to American farmers as follows:

have been voted by a federal grand
jury, were held in abeyance today by

of the Chicago yardmen's association,
which was formed by the railroad
men who walked out and others said
to have been indicted, prepared for
court action.
Mr. Grunau and others expressed

ments. It became known tonight

road men for some time and had pre
sented a mass of documentary evi
dence to the jury.

GOODING STRONG IN SOUTH
For Governor D. W. Davis
Seems to Be Leading.
RETURNS COMING SLOWLY
Ex-Service Men Active, but Claim
of Control of Ada County Con-
vcutlon Held Doubtful.
BOISE. Idaho.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
Indications based on reports from
various parts of the state on Tues
day's; primary election are that none
of the several candidates for United
States senator and governor are In
control, claims, to the contrary not
withstanding. The vote was disappointingly light.
It reflects favorable sentiment In the
southeast and south for Frank: R.
Gooding, in the western part of the
state for Colonel S. L. Patch and Col
onel E. G. Davis and In the north for
Captain A. H. Connor and C. W. Beale.
all candidates for state senator. For
governor, D. W. Davis ia probably
shading John W. Eaglcson. while
North Idaho will give part of its sup
port at least to M. L Kiger.
Kx-Servlce Mrs Active.
The election was confined to the 44'
counties exclusively. Backers of the
several candidates for senator and
governor, especially ex-service men,
sought to elect delegates to the county
conventions to be held August 14 so
that they might control and get in
structed delegates for Colonel Patch.
In Ada county they nominated 125 ex
service men out a total of 178 who will
be seated in the state convention and
elected about 60 of them. They claim
control of the county convention, but
he returns do not justify the claims
of either Patch or any of the other
candidates.
Gooding claims an even break, aa
does Colonel Patch. Governor Davis
issued a statement in which he said a
majority of the delegates are favor
able to his candidacy, while State
Treasurer Kagleson asserted: "I have
reason to believe that every one of the
delegates elected to the Pocatello con
vention will be for me." It Is believed
by party workers that the county con
vention will select an instructed Jc.e
gation of 11 delegates to the state
convention.
Coodinis Men Hopeful.
Regarding the situation over the
state Fred R. Gooding, speaking for
his brother, Frank R. Gooding, said:
"Delegates in ail counties in south
eastern and southern Idaho favorable
to Frank R. Gooding have been elect
ed, with but two exceptions. Payette
and Washinatt n. He made an excel
lent run in Ada county and will have
a large number of delegates there."
The Patch headquarters here issued
a statement sayingr: "Reports from
counties over the state are flattering.
Colonel Patch carried counties in both
the north und south that he did not
expect to get."
Davis AIm Satisfied.
Color.el Davis, at headquarters said:
"I am well satisfied with the result.

it may be demonstrated that other
candidates cannot win."
