Against Moore the allegation of
some folks in Ohio is that Moore oc
casionally fails to preserve an ade
quate distinction between his function
as' a lawyer and his function as a
politician. They say that the clients
of Moore as a lawyer have sometimes
been the beneficiaries of Moore's ac
tivities as a politician.
Moore on "YVcf Side.
Moore's friends admit that there
were periods when Moore's time as
a lawyer was engaged and paid for
by tho Liquor Dealers' association;
that during these periods there were
local "wet" versus "dry" elections In
Ohio and that Moore did more or less
run tho "wet" side of those elections.

ARRIVAL HERE DELAYED
of the association opposed to national Candidate to Reach Portland at
SPOKANE. Wash.. Aug. 19. Imme
diate resumption of work on reclam
ation projects, which, he charged, had
been stopped by the present repuDiic
congress, was advocated the Pacific
northwest by Franklin D. Roosevelt,
democratic nominee for vice-president,
in a speech he delivered at the state
armory hero tonight.
"You in the northwest," he said,
"are familiar with some of the work
which has already been done in using
th waters of our streams for the rec
l.i in:. tion and development of thou-
mnila of aires of arid lands. That
work must continue with vastly in
creased energy. .
Cent lrotests Scouted.
It Is ahsurd to say that this coun
trv i-annot afford the cost. Already
existing operations, such as that of
the Yakima valley, have demonstrated
that the cost to the country is re
r.uiH . thousand fold. Already we
Vn.iw that the annual crop produc
tion from most of these projects is
sufficient in value to cover the whole
cost of the construction.
"Where we have spent a hundred
millions UP to now, we must spend
ir.n limps that fieuro in the lmmedi
ate future. These projects are sound
from a financial point of view, but
more than that, they are of absolute
necessary to the proper economic ru
ture of the whole nation.
More Foodstuffs Held deeded.
"We must provide additional lands
and a greated tood production for our
increased population. We must see
to It that these projects shall be con
ducted for the benefit of home-seek
ers and home-builders, and not for
the benefit of epeculators or a priv
ileged few.
"The territory embraced in the so
called Columbia basin project is, for
examnle. one of first national lm
Dortance. Washington .is not the only
state concerned, either in its building
or lt future benefits. It belongs to
the whole nation, and the general
government must co-operate with the
northwest in plans of euch splendid
magnitude as that."
Merchant Marine Advocated. ,
"I can fully assure you that Gov
ernor Cox and I are in full sympathy
with the spirit of the west in these
matters," he added, "and your desire
to have definite action taken on them
by men who have an understanding
knowledge of what the west wants
and needs."
Improved highways in every state,
waterways development and enlarge
ment of terminal and port facilities
also were urged by Mr. Roosevelt, who
declared that the democratic party
wishes to continue likewise the build
ing up of the American merchant
marine.
In order 'to effect these enlarge-
ments, he declared, reorganization of
present governmental machinery to
cope with an enlarged task will be
required.
Mr. Roosevelt arrived here short
ly after 8 P. M., after a day's journey
from Helena, Montana, where he
spoke last night. He delivered sev
eral rear platform talks, among them
at Missoula, Montana, and Rathrum,
Idaho.
YonngNler'it Hands Shaken.
At the later town he asked that
the "youngsters" might be permitted
to shake hands with him, saying he
had several of his own back home,
and a number availed themselves of
tho privilege.
A more than perfunctory greeting
was given the candidate by one old
lady at Rathrum. Not content with
shaking his hand, she reached up and
Kave him a hearty kiss on the cheek.
He in turn patted her shoulder and
held a few words of conversation with
her.
A special train on which the can
didate will spend the next two days
in Washington, was made up here, and
a number of democratic' leaders left
with him after his speech here to
cross the state aboard his train. Stops
will be made tomorrow at a number
of Washington towns for rear plat
form talks, and a more lengthy speech
will be delivered at Taktma.
MORE SAW WORK PROMISED
prohibition and they regard it as
extremely undesirable that a man
with thi3 kind of private attachments
should have a president ,of the United
States under such obligations to mm
as Cox undoubtedly would be under
if he were elected. I hey fear that
Moore might not regard a gold watch
7':3 0 P. M. Instead of 7:2 0
A. M., Previously Announced.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate
of Cox's obligation.
The Ohio "drys" fear that Moore s
conception of Cox's obligation to him
might include the office of attorney
general in Cox's cabinet and they
think they know what would happen
to prohibition with Moore In the en
forcing office.
Group Relations Similar.
So much for Harding's and Cox's
relations to individual politicians.
In their relations to groups of poli
ticians there is the same coincidence.
Harding undoubtedly is under deep
obligations to a group of republican
senators. I cannot name the list ac
curately, but there must be from five
to ten of them who share the obliga
tion in varying degrees.
The principal one is probably Smoot
of Utah. That is what Cox means
when he charges Harding with being
the creature of a senatorial "ring.
It is undoubtedly true that this
little group of senators did have
good deal to do with Harding's nomi
nation and that he owes them th
kind of obligation that arises under
such circumstances.
In Cox's case his group obligation
runs to four old-time democratic
bosses. This Cox group consists of
Nugent of New Jersey, Murphy of
Tammany, Brennan of the Chicago
machine and Marsh of Iowa. In cur
rent comment the name of Tom Tag-
gart of Indiana is inclosed in thi
group of bosses to whom Cox is under
obligations for his nomination. In
way Taggart does belong there, but
not to the same extent as the others.
During the San Francisco convention
Taggart was always conscious that
he was a candidate for the United
States senate and he had to play his
cards rather cautiously. For that
reason he did not become as deeply
identified with this group as the
others. But of Cox's obligation to
these four there can be no doubt
whatever.
Voter Takes His Choice.
Between these two groups the in
uepenaent voter can make his own
choice. As I have said, the individuals
Moore and Daugherty cancel each
other. The choice is between the two
groups. I have no hesitation about
expressing the judgment that Cox's
obligation to the democratic bosses is
much more undesirable than Harding's
oDiigation to the senators. In fact,
I can't get excited at all about
Harding's obligation to the senators.
It seems to me that what Cox is
trying to do is to take advantage of
an old prejudice against the senate
which arises in the days of senators
like Aldrich among the republicans
and Gorman among the democrats.
The conditions which gave rise to that
ta prejudice no longer exist.
a man who succeeds In the enor
mous enterprise of getting the nomi
nation of his party for the nresidenev
is pretty sure to be under obligations
come one. ana JI the next president
f the United States must be under
bligations to somebody I know of no
one the public miirht falrlv r)s;.-
that person to be more than Senator
Smoot.

manhattan
and kind words as a final settlement I for vice-president on the democratic
ticket, is expected to arrive in Port
land on his campaign tour of the west
Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock, ac
cording to a revised schedule received
here yesterday.
The new schedule, if adhered to
ill mean that the plans for Mr.
Roosevelt speaking in Salem, Wood
burn and Oregon City on Saturday af
ternoon will have to be canceled.
Until word is received from Mr.
Roosevelt today by the state demo
cratic campaign committee it will not
be known definitely whether the new
schedule will be adhered to in its en
tirety. For that reason definite plans
for the candidate's visit to this state
are held up until the receipt of this
news.
Nominee Declared 'Hogsred.
The situation means that Washing
ton democrats are trying to "hog"
Roosevelt at the expense of the time
which formerly was allotted to this
state, disgruntled Portland democrats
declared yesterday. The schedule as
originally outlined provided for a
series of addresses in Washington and
the candidate was to arrive in Port
land Saturday morning at 7:20 o'clock.
This gave ample time for a trip up
the valley and addresses at the capi
tal and several other cities in addi
tion to the scheduled address Saturday
night at the auditorium.
Disregarding the original schedule
sent out from Washington. D. C, the
democrats of the state of Washington
maae up a scneciuie or their own
which provided for covering the state
with the candidate in a special train.
Concensus of opinion yesterday was
that the new schedule would be ad
hered to. but in order to learn defi
nitely Stephen T. Eariy, member of
the personal staff of Mr. Roosevelt,
who is traveling in advance of the
candidate, dispatched a wire from
Portland to get definite word from
Mr. Roosevelt himself.
Campaign to Bs Limited.
The new schedule will mean that
the campaign of the candidate in this
state will be practically limited to
the address at the auditorium Satur
day night and brief stops en route
south at Roseburg, Ashland, Grants
Pass and Medford. He is scheduled to
leave for San Francisco at 1 o'clock
Monday morning. ,
Mr. Roosevelt was scheduled to ar
rive at Spokane, Wash., last nicrht.

Roosevelt Delivers Speech
Train at Missoula.
MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. 19.
Greater naval development on the
Pacific coast was promised by Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, democratic nominee
for vice-president, in a rear-platform
speech he made here today, en route
from Helena to Spokane.
"Facilities at present available are
not large enough to care for even
half the freight business on the Pa
cific coast," he declared.
Mr. Roosevelt declared that it was
"extraordinary" that "in traveling
the past 10 days in seven states, we
have yet to find the first democrat
who is to vote for Harding, while
literally hundreds of progressive re
publicans have told us they will vote
lor jox."
He predicted a democratic landslide
next November, "with a bigger ma
jority than ever before" on the
strength of ratification of the federa
suffrage amendment. He said he and
Governor Cox are "working on the
theory that it is up to us to get ou
arouno. mo country ana not sit an
our front porches."
COX'S "RING TALK" RISKY
(Continued From First Paste.)
Taft should pardon Charles W. Morse,
then in the Atlanta penitentiary for a
banking crime. The request fo
Morse's pardon was put on the basi
that the prisoner was about to die of
an assortment of immediately fatal
diseases. That was eight years ago
and Morse is stiU alive and prosper
ing abundantly.
Morse's Method Resented.
There was a good deal of talk about
the Morse pardon at the time. Bu
the Ohio feeling about Daugherty
didn t rest on whether or not Mors
deserved the pardon. It rested on th
way Morse went about getting i
ilorse didn't come from Ohio. H
came from Maine and New - York
There waa no ordinary reason fo
Harry Daugherty of Columbu3, O
turning up as Morse's attorney. Oh
folks felt that it represented an ef
fort on the part of Morse and his
friends to take advantage of the per
Bonal relations between a politician
lawyer and President Taft and the
agents, appeared to answer two
charges of violating the prohibition
act. The first charge was dismissed.
Ho was bound over to the federal
grand jury on the second charge of
having a still in his possession. His
bail was fixed at 500.
Habeas corpus proceedings in be
half of Sam Conord and Joseph Wil
son, convicted of violating the in
ternal revenue act several months
ago, were begun by John Beckman,
n the plea that the internal revenue
act had been superseded by the fed
ral prohibition act. Conord and
AVilson have but a few more week
of their six months' sentence to serve.
Mike Milimkow and Zena Popovltch
arrested on a charge of having two
pints of moonshine in their posses
ion, came up for a hearing yester
day. Milinkow assumed all the blame
nd was fined ?50. Popovltch had
already served 11 days in jail await-
ng trial.
The possession of a suspicious-
looking tin can with a rubber hose attached,-
plus a quantity of sour mash
resulted in the arrest of William
Hellinder charged with operating
still. He was fined $100 by Federal
udge Bean.
Smoot Useful Senator.
Smoot is one of the most useful men
in the senate, and for that matter in
ublic life anywhere. I use the word
useful" advisedly. - Smoot knows
more about the business of the gov
ernment or tne united States than any
other man in the senate and works a
ittie harder at the task of conducting
hat business successfully and eco
nomically than anybody else in the
enate -,r out of it.
In some 18 years in the sen-its
moot nas made himself a kind of
neaa bookkeeper, head auditor an 1
watchdog of the treasury in the in
terests or the public. He has natural
gitts as a business man and he de
votes them to the public good with an
unremitting labor that is the con
stant admiration of all observers. I
think this would be admitted by any
democrat in the senate.
In the next four years of introduc-
ng economy and business administra
tion into the government business
and reducing the expenditures from
. vn.r iu a peace-time Dasis 1 can
hink of no one with whom it is
more desirable that the president
snouid be in close sympathetic con
tact than with Smoot.
Mr. Cox raises an issue most dan
gerous to himself when he begins to
talk of the political influence back
oi naramg. Harding is entitled to
come back at him pretty savagely if
ne cnooses ana t,ox will undoubtedly
bcl mo worst, oi mis particular ex
change.

Felix Taniasi, Alias Frank. Matson.
Held on Charge of Receiving
Stolen Property.
When Inttrrupted in his attempt
to strangle himself with a towel
after he was placed under arrest yes
terday morning, Felix Tamasl, alias
Frank Matson. launched powerful
blows against his own jaw with bis
right fist, punches which would have
knocked out a less husky man. Be
cause of this attempt at self-extermination.
Sheriff Hurlburt's office is
investigating the record of Tamasl
beyond the mere charge of receiving
stolen property, for which he was
taken into custody.
A .45-caliber automatic army pistol
and many rounds of ammunition were
found among his effects. Pneumatic
riveting "guns" and many articles of
value which had been stolen from
local shipyards were found in Ta
masi'8 room. Tamasl had been work
ing in a shipyard near Portland and
though suspected of the thefts, is
charged only with receiving stolen
property, much of which bears stamps
of the yards.
Wnen r -puty Sheriffs Beckman and
Schirmer and Special Agent Keller
surprised Tamasi in his room at Front
and Harrison streets yesterday, he
made no resistance, but the moment
the backs of the officers were turned
: seized a towel, twisted it about
his neck and tried to choke him
self. His eyes were popping out r.nd
his face turning blue when Special
Agent Keller unwound the towel.
Tamasl, without a word, struck him
self several times in the jaw, with
a vigor which indicated su'cidal in

jail and bail fixed at $1000.
