Johnson, United States senator, will leave San Francisco about the mifidle of Sep tember on a national campaign tour for the republican national ticket was made by the western neadquar ters of the republican national com mittee here today. Senator Johnson Issued a state ment today in which he said: "Senator Harding has scrapped the league. This was done really by the republican platform and in the re publican candidate's speech of ac ceptance; but certain gentlemen and certain newspapers for their own purpose pretended to construe the words of the platform and of the candidate wholly at variance with their plain tenor. There can now be no pretense even of misunderstand ing. "On Saturday Mr. Harding reiterat ed in language incapable of two in terpretations his opposition and hos tility to the league of nations. He declares as we have all declared, in favor of arbitration treaties and the Hague tribunal. He would go as we would all go to very great lengths promote peace and prevent war. - S cho ol Will Op en S o on We are ready to supply the most fastidious high school and col lege student with his clothes for the Fall season.

"He says clearly: 'I a:-.i opposed to such a scheme as that,' and he adds. 'I am opposed to the very thought of our republic becoming a party to such a great outrage upon peoples who have as good a right to seek their political freedom as we had in 1776.' Governor Cox says as the democratic candidate he favors going into the league. Senator Harding now emphatically answers as the re publican candidate he favors staying out. The long fight is won. We will go through the form of voting upon the question in November, but the election of Senator Harding is cer tain. The league Is dead."

PENDLETON 5 FEAR BUS CHANGE OF VENUE ASKED JAILBREAKERS. BY Unprejudiced Panel Impossible in Unatilla County, Attorneys Plead Before Court. PENDLETON. Or., Aug. 30. (Spe cial.) Motion for a change of venue in the coming trial of Hart. Owens, Rathie, Stoop and Henderson, the five men imprisoned in the Umatilla county jaif indicted for the murder of Sheriff T. D. Taylor, was filed In the last hour allowed by the court this afternoon by attorneys for the- defendants. It was asserted that an unpreju diced jury cannot be obtained for the trial in Umatilla county. Hart, having confessed and pleaded guilty to murder, is not entitled to a change of venue, in the opinion of many, unless he changes his plea to "not guilty." Supporting the two motions are five affidavits. All affidavits contain the same argument that of prejudice in this county and the affidavit entered by the father of Stoop is most lengthy and most carefully prepared. It con tains quotations from local citizens and references to alleged propaganda in local papers, attempting to show that no one who is a reader of news papers here is qualified to serve as a juror. Attorney for the defense said no one is dissatisfied with Judge Gilbert W. Phelps. One of the arguments in the motions filed today is that the voluntary sub scription list to the Til Taylor me morial fund indicates that public sen timent is prejudiced against defend ants in the case. Information is filed showing that the campaign for volun tary subscriptions is being organized in the county and that the slain sheriff had many friends, due to his office and personality, which would have great influence at time of trial. Attorneys for th defense have in no way indicated the county in which they wish the trial to be held. Yakima. If this production is reached, he said, the crop will be about 30 per cent smaller than last year, but the quality will be as good or better. "Cooler weather and rains in the Yakima country have done wonders for" the potatoes," said Mr. Mignerey, "and the yield will be heavy and the quality fine. Unusually hot and dry weather slightly decreased the yield of early potatoes in both eastern and western Washington, but 'late pota toes on both sides of the Cascades as a result of recent rains are looking better than average.

OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 30. (Special.) Available for allotment to the high way commissions of the states of Idaho, Oregon and Washington be tween July 1, 1920, and July 1, 192, there will be $4,268, S29. If application has not been made by the last date, with the legal evidence required for proper use of the funds, together with at least an equal amount from the respective states for designated high way construction, these amounts will lapse to the general fund and become available for use in. all other states. Thomas H. MacOonald, chief of the bureau of public roads of the- depart ment of agriculture, announced that the largest of all the allocations yet made under the federal aid' act, $100, 000.000, became available July 1 this year. This total was mate up from $24,2a0,000 from the last installment of the 1916 federal appropriation and $72,750,000 from the last installment of the 1920 federal appropriation. Under these the three northwestern states will receive the following totals: Idaho $1,226,019. Oregon $1,576, 152 and Washington $1,444,626. In presenting these facts, Mr. Mac- Donald commented that all the states since 1915 have enlarged and improved their highway forces and work, and all available funds for the respective slates have been absorbed. He is confident that the $100,000,000 now available, less 3 per cent for over head and administration, will be ab sorbed, insuring a $200,000,000 road construction' programme under the federal aid act. In announcing the funds available today, Mr. MacDonald said that it would be necessary for congress at its forthcoming sessions to declare early as to continuance of these ap propriations if the states were not to be discommoded in. their future road planning. In view of the fact that the states have to make surveys and work out all details for road projects well ahead, Mr. MacDonald noted that they cannot be expected to continue this preparatory work unless assured in definite form by the government that the federal appropriations will be continued. .
