Word Spoken for Chamberlain.
Senator Chamberlain, and men and 1
romen of Oregon: It seems more
like heaven here with me than any
place I have ever been. It is a very
great happiness for me to come Into
this presence and to be presented to
hi. xnaenificent audience of his
neighbors and his friends by your dis
tinguished, representative in the sen
ate of the United States.
I have known Senator Chamberlain
for several years and I have known
of him for many years. He combines
the practical elements with the' theor-
etical elements in government. His
service and executive station has set
him well in hand in his legislative
work in congress. I am' sure that I
will not be suspected of an invidious
word, nor a fulsome phase, when I
say that no man in the congress of
tne unnea iaies uia mure in uiv-i

old constitution did not give, the legislature-
the right to make the laws
that the needs of modern clvllizaion
called for. We tried for years to pro
cvrt a constitutional convention, but
we were unsuccessful until 1912, and
then we submitted a new constitu
tion. Ohio Gripped br Unrest.
I want you to know something of
our experiences prior to the adoption
of our new constitution. There was
more unrest in Ohio prior to 1912
than there is in anv nart of America

That is why he wanted it maintained.
But the progressives in our state

hold the confidences of our people that
it must show itself responsive to tne
needs of humanity, and that humanity
was a thing made of the flesh and

delays of the law. Law suits could be
kept in our courts 20 years. We cited
instances where the weak, the poor,
were absolutely worn out because of
the advantage that the favored classes
haa, and that when settlement was
made it was under the circumstances
and influence of duress. And in addi
tion to that, we had the industrial
injustice which grew out of the fact
that in our constitution we held three
old common-law defenses.

I I had a very interesting experience
I n Butte, Mont. When the meeting
I began there it was a tremendously
1 large meeting we neara catcalls on

use the terms of the hour in order

They don't understand the gospel of
progress in government. But finally
the catcalls stopped, and It developed
that the tomcats had not gone home,
either. And I will tell you what
stopped them; simply the recital of an
episode an episode of the steel
strike, when the great middle west
was allwrought up.
In Pennsylvania they have a law
which provides that if three or more
persons assemble in time of strike it
is uf.la'wful. Thomas Jefferson wrote
the bill of rights in the American con
stitution, and he gave the people the
right of assembly. Well, on the day
in Question Nobody was at work: it
was the summer time; the children
were not working; so they all held a
meeting a little above Pittsburg, not
far from the Ohio line, and they began
to make speeches; nothing wrong in
the speeches.
My observation is if you let those
fellows get the vinegar out of them
they will feel better about it anyhow.

after the speeches were over, then

went back home. A New Tork news

HIGH LIGHTS FROM GOVERNOR COX'S TWO SPEECHES
PORTLAND.
I hope that the next time I-make a trip to the northwest, and
that will be some time in the next four years, that I can announce
.to you, instead of buying battleships, we are UBing the price of one
battleship to reclaim 250,000 square miles. '
Congress has a new mistress now, and it will be infinitely harder
for any decree of war in the future than it ever has been in the past,
because the mother heart of America knows what war 1 and knows
it better than the male heart of America.
It seems to me providential that the mothers of America are
given a vote this year, because they will have the opportunity of
saving the civilization of the world.
I am in favor at the earliest possible moment of establishing a
budget system in the affairs of the federal government.
Are you going to vote as your soldiers shot to end war? That is
the question this year.
Who is It that is complaining (about his charges) except a band of
men who have fought without feeling and without conscience a sick
man who could not defend himself?
Women are more progressive in government than men, because
they sense the difference between progress and reaction. The dif
ference is this:- The reactionary is interested in the materialistic
thing; the progressive is interested in the idealistic and in' the
humanitarian.'
Prohibition is not an issue ln this campaign; neither is slavery.
The amendment was written into the constitution; the question now
is its enforcement.
William Barnes, who was the Judas in the campaign of 1A12,
has been made the St. Paul in the campaign of 1920, and he has
been assigned the tastf of writing the book of faith, in preparing
the Bible for the fight this year.

lou know you always have to have
counter-irritant: otherwise we
wculd never get anywhere in progres
sive government. Our counter-irri
tant is Pennsylvania, jsow 1 tell you
in a-word the difference between that
progressive state. Ohio, and the reac
tionary st,ate, Pennsylvania. We have
a ' compensation law in Ohio which
the American Federation of Labor in
this year's convention at Montreal
suid was the model Instrument of Its
kind in the world. A man was work
ing in a factory at Sharon. The state
line runs through the faatory; he was
badly hurt; he could, not walk, but
his subconscious sense told him the
difference between America and Si
beria; and, God bless him, even though
he was wounded on the Pennsylvania
side he crawled across the line into
Ohio.
Now I said that you. always have
to have a counter-irritant. Pennsyl
vania has been our counter-irritant.
and in Oregon my observation is that
tne counter-irritant here was that
part of your newspaper press which
was reactionary then and which is
reactionary now.
(borne one in the audience aslcerl
"What paper?" "The Telegram?" and
otner questions.)
Progressive Vote Won.
Well, I haven't mentioned any
names. I did read an editorial this
morning ln a morning newspaper in
Oregon, and that editorial said that I
taking a good deal of credit for
the passage of the workmen's com
pensation law in Ohio, and it sa"id that
the legislature was republican when
it was passed. Well, now, they simply
aon t Know. ine legislature was
twe-thirds democratic. But that had
nothing to do with it; every progres
sive in tnat legislature, regardless of
his politics, helped us to win the fight.
iney aon t seem to Know now great
popular movements triumph. Thev
don't seem to realize that people will
not permit tneir intelligences to be
tied with lock and key. I had no
better support in that srreat fie-ht
than from some members of the legis
lature wno were repuDiicans. 1 am
proud of the thousands and ia thniiR-
afids of republicans who have elected
me tnree limes in onio. In everv irreat
crisis the independent thought of the
nation Is aroused. It broke over
party lines when th saddest, the
strongest and the sweetest character
in all human history next to Christ
himself.- Abraham Lincoln. ' was in
spired by Clod to keep the nation to
gether. It stood behind Theodore Roosevelt
when he attempted to set insolent
bosses back into their places and to
admonish big business and serve
notice on it that governmental policies
under him, could not be bought with
money.
So much now for the alignment this
year, It is the performance of men
ordinarily that counts most. Preach
ment is all right, but performance is
the truest index.
Now I said a while ago that if we
were to keep the government en
trenched in the confidence of the peo
ple we could not permit reactionary
forces, we could not permit big busi
ness to acquire, either by purchase or
otherwise, an under-hold in govern
ment. Do you know what an under-hold
is? Did you ever wrestle as a boy,
when we used to flip coopers to see
who got it; and if we didn't have a
copper we flipped a stone and we
usually flipped the stone and the boy
who won the under-hold usually won
the fall?
Interests Draw Blre.
Now there are some interests sit
tine around now conniving, scheming,
conspiring, trying to buy a reserved
seat when the readjusting processes of
government are going on. Those ele
ments are opposed to me; and I thank
my maker that they are opposed to
me.
I shall speak very plainly to- you
about this phase of the campaign. It
has been my purpose to speak plainly
about levery detail of this campaign.
I am privileged to do it. I am at
large there Is no chain to me. I
didn't go to the San Francisco con
vention. Mv friends asked me to eo
and I said. "No. I won't go." And thev
said. "Well then, probably you won't
win.". And I said, "I don't want to win
if I have to win in that way." Now
you ask me why.
A voice in the audience, "Why?"
Primaries Held TTnlmDortant. He Says.
I will tell you; and I think
you will agree with , me. my
friends. In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt
charged that the republican bosses
had not paid'any attention to the will
and the wish as expressed in the pref
erential primaries. .. He named the
men by specification who stood be
tween tne wisn ana tne win or tne
neoole and the convention result
ask you now whether the same thing
has not happened in 1920? After the
primaries were over Mr. Dougherty,
the manager of the candidate of re
action in this campaign, was inter
viewed, and he was asked, "Why is it
that vour man has not procured a ma
jority vote in a single American state
not even his own state?" And Mr.
Dougherty made this response:
"We are not, intertsl&d in .priiuar-
ies," he said. "When the convention
at Chicago assembles the weather will
be hot and the delegates will, be
tired; the convention starts Monday
morning and at about 2:11 A. M. Fri
day morning a group of men will
gather around the table: the room
will De Iinecl wnn smoKe ana mero
the choice will be made."
Is there anyone in this presence
who will deny that that man practi
cally visualized the future when he
spoke? Because at about 2:30 in the
morning of Saturday. Friday night or
Saturday morning. whichever you
deem best to term it, a group of men
did gather around the table; the old
bosses were there: Lodge and his
cohorts in the senate were there, and
they brought a certain gentleman
before them and they asked him some
questions, and then they decided that
on the next day they would take two
or three ballots and nominate him.
Now ask yourselves this question:
What questions did they ask him?
(Laughter). Do you imagine they
were talking about the weather?,
(Laughter). Do you imagine they
were discussing the question of re
claiming arid lands in the northwest?
Oil those fellows have been In the
game too long. Having it in their
own hands they wanted to know be
fore they made their choice. That is
why I didn't go to San Francisco, and
as the result of It I have not even
promised a man a fourth-class post
mastership. (Applause).
And as a result of it my commis
sion will, not have a mortgage on it,
eiiher first mortgage or second mort
gage. I shall account to you. You
are the sovereigns; that is why I come
to you. The candidates for the presi
dency are asking something of you;
p.'t it very fitting and proper, there
fore, that we should come to you?
Many Are Interviewed.
Going across the country at this
hour is a large delegation headed for
Ohio. They will present themselves
at a certain front porch in order to
understand what a candidate's mental
attitude is upon certain vital ques
tions this year. I have no in-
terest. political certainly, in any front
porch except your front porch. ,Ap
plause). 1 want happiness to abide
on every front .porch in America, and
that will only be guaranteed by the
adoption and the maintenance of pro
gressive principles in government. I
come into the northwest: I have
talked with ranchmen; I have talked
with farmers; 1 have talked with
country bankers; I have talked with
wool growers; I have talked with
cattle growers; I have talked with
men who know the subject of the
reclamation of arid lands; I have
talked with men who have been to
Alaska; I believe' if you will permit
me to make the observation that any
candidate for the presidency, every
candidate, ought to be compelled to
come into this great northwest terri
tory, this great northwest domain; I
believe It ought to be made a condi
tion precedent.
Why not? You live thousands of
miles away from Washington. You
arc playing a great part in the civ
ilization of the world; you are helping
to feed humanity and you are too
much preoccupied to be running to
Washington and looking after the af
fairs of the government. And gov
ernment there ought not to be only
fair and just, but it ought to be In
tel, igent. and after the 4th of March
1 will be enabled to know more than
I hfve known about theuestions that
are vital and which concern you and
the great northwest country.
Another Trip Forecast.
I can sit down with Senator Cham
berlain and discuss the problem of
Alaska; I can discuss the arreat ques
tions of the northwest. And in that
connection I hope that the next time
I make a trip to the northwest, and
that it will be some time in the nf.vi
four years, that I can- announce to
you instead of buying battleships we
are using the price of one battleship
to reclaim 250,000 square miles. (Ap-

a man in this audience who grows

(A few voices in the audience re
sponded, "Yes, sir"; and "There are
plenty of them in the state.")
A Member of the Audience How
about dollar wheat
Dollar Wheat Held Impossible.
Governor Cox Yes. Well, my dear
friend, you speak of dollar wheat. I
was born and reared on a farm. There
is not a man here who can beat my
stone-bruise record. I have' had them
on both heels at the same time
(laughter), and I do know enough
about farming to convince me that
in these times you can't grow wheat
at a profit at a dollar a bushel.
But I find here among the con
tributors the' name of the man who
has inspired more profanity in the
last three months tn America than
any man since Adam William M.
Wood, of the American Woolen com
pany, who deliberately closed down
his factories in order to buy wool at
his price; in order, more than that,
to buy the labor of his employes at
hia price.
They are talking about deflation,
but do you observe which end the de
flation is starting at? They talk to
you about a change in this country.
a change politically. There is not a
man in this audience, 1 verily believe,
but who is very much better off than
he was financially eight years ago,
(applause); and the thing to ask your
self is""this: Do you want a change,
or do you want the change? (Laugh
ter.) The thing to ask yourselves
also Is this: What did normalcy, as
yesterday is called officially, bring to
you.' under whlcn conauion nave
vou thrived most?
More than that before you make
any change, before you permit your
self to be possessed of an impulse
rrowin cr out of the inconveniences of
the war, of taxes and all that sort of
thing, stop. look and listen. The men
who have taken charge of the affairs
of the republican party this year
would not have dared to think Of do

felt that the emotions of the people
have been so highly wrought, that
vour inconveniences have' been so

Entire World Menaced.
I talked to a man two weeks ago
Saturday night: with him was jonn
W. Davis ambassador to the court of
St. James, representing this govern
ment. The first man namea naa spem
e:ght months in Germany ana Aus
tria, most ot tne 11111c uci m...,.
I was so interested ln what I heard
that we three talked practically all
r.ight. The man from Germany said
that in Vienna, which was the most
Bof.utiful city in the world six years
airo. rich and poor are walking the
streets, barefooted, witlut food and
without clothing. Hiigni tnousana
babies, he reported, are dying In hos
pitals in Austria every week, starving

which had 2,000,000 population six
year ago has 400,000 now. There are
11 000,000 underfed children in Ger
many.
You sty we are not lnterestea in
those conditions? The whole world is
on fire. Starvation is always fol
lowed by some form of radicalism,
which in its present manifestation is
bolshevism. If one side of a city block
is 011 fire here, you get very busy in
order to see that the other side is
not menaced. The civilization of the
world Is Indivisible. You can't main

free from influence for good or bad by
what happens elsewhere. lt,urope is

American Interest Clear.
Now let us see whether we have
an interest in those conditions. Let
us see what our practical interest is.

your lumber? Where are you going to

the nations of the world in the main

ImOW I think I can say that we have
a common view with reference to the
practical consideration. But there is
a higher consideration than that. We
talk about our natural resources; we
talk about our financial resources;
but aren't we more interested after
all in our spiritual resources? - (Ap
plause). Aren't we a religious peo
ple? Haven't we prospered? Haven't
we had showered upon us the bounties
of God throughout the generations?
We have, and It is because we have
always made substantial contribu
tions to the civilization of the world.
America's Duty Plain.
I care not what blood courses the
veins of starving children anywhere
on God's footstool, they are a part of
the humanity of the world, and Amer

ureat war meetings were held in this
hall: is that correct? (Voices re
sponded "Yes.").
Here you came together and bought
bonds until it hurt; here your school
children assembled for the purpose of
buying- nd being instructed in the
salesmanship of war savings stamps
and then the time came when the'
boys of this magnificent city marched
away. I ne?d not remind you of the
heartaches that were conyjion in every
household here: I need not remind
you that men and women Ihrmiithniit
the months stood in mortal terror
whenever the telephone rang, when
ever the doorbell rang, whenever thev
saw a messenger boy approaching;
and they busied themselves in their
work, women in their Red Cross work,
men in their normal preoccupations,
in order that they could as best they
could take their minds off the awful
tragedy overseas: how they picked upl

that were lost; then they went in the
evening time to bed and remained
awake until physical exhaustion it
self brought them rest. What pledge
did you give the mothers of Oregon
when you took their boys? This
pledge, and this pledge .only: That
the boys were going overseas to win,
this war in order that wars could not
be in the future. (Great applause, the
audience standing.)
Boys Must Be Supported.
Tour boys shot to end war; you

Where Does Harding Standi
Now then, the president of the
United States initiates international
policies in the main. Our interna
tional polioles are more important,
more vital, more pressing than they
have ever been at any time probably
in the history ot the republic, and in
the face of this great emergency I
ask you to follow me, if you please,
in order that we may ascertain
whether you or I or Senator Hard
ing knows where he stanis on the
question of the league of nations.
(Applause.)
Now. first of all. he "voted in the
senate for mild reservations: then he
advocated and voted for the 'I-odge
reservations. There were many men
who conscientiously did that. They
did it under duress; and 1 called at
tention, to that fact in my speech of
acceptance. They thought it was the
short cut, and even though those
LodKC reservations might have im
paired the document they figured that
it ought to be ended and If injury had
accrued it could be corrected in the
future. But I call'your attention to
the fact that he wobbled from the
mild reservations to the Lodge reser
vations and then he voted for the
Knox resolution providing a separate
peace with Germany. Who made that
peace with Germany? President Wil
son didn't; you didn't; I didn't: your
boys made it. They stood watch on
the Rhine when Germany signed. (Ap

throw away the treaty that your boys

would be dishonest; and I am opposed
to it
Now then, further. Senator Harding
accepted the nomination on a plat
form which declared the league ot
nations has signally failed; then in hlw
speech of acceptance he proposea a
separate peace -with Germany, and
then he said after that was done that
he was going to turn to the nations of
the world and establish a new rela
tionship. Now. I ask you this plain
question: How many nations would
nave anytning to ao witn us it we
made a separate peace with Ger
many?. Russia, Mexico and Turkey.
(Laughter). Those countries and
those alone.
Then, on August 28, he made a
speech; I think that was the Harvey
ized speech; either that or the Wick
ersharnized speech; I do not recall,
but at any rate he made a speech Au
gust 2S and he came out with an en
tirely -new plan. He- was going to
take the. dead Hague tribunal and he
was going, to revitalize it; he was
going to resurrect it. Under it thero
happened the four most deadly wars
in all the history of mankind, and
somebody had sense enough to lock it
up. and nail it up. Theodore Roosevelt
in 1910 said that The Hague tribunal
was of no account because it had no
police power behind it. What account
is a decree of your court in this
county, without the sheriff? And yet
the power of "the sheriff. I assume,
has not been invoked In 25 years. The
moral force is enough, but the physi
cal force is there if needed. (Ap
plause). Roosevelt said the plan of
The Hague tribunal would not do be
cause of what I have Indicated.
Two Statements Conflict.
Now, on September 6, Senator Har
ding made another speech, and ln it
he made two contradictory state
ments; and I quote him verbatim.
First of all he said: "Amendment or
revision or reconstruction of the
league covenant is still among the
possibilities." And then, several para
graphs after that he said "The league
has now passed beyond the possibil
ity of restoration.." (Laughter).
Now, men and women, candidly, I
don't know where he stands: you don't
f

know where he stands. (Applause).
There is a great difference between
executive responsibilities and legisla
tive responsibilities. Senator Harding
dodged 1116 rollcalls in the senate,
but in an executive station you can't
dodge rollcalls. and the senator can't
dodge one in this campaign. I intend
to continue to call the roll. (Ap
plause). Now you ask, "Well, where do you
stand?" I will tell you that, and then
I am through. The San Francisco
platform provides for the ratification,
of the covenant. It will accept any
reservations that clarify that help:
any reservation whirh in good faith
serves notice on the powers with
which we deal that we can go so far
under our constitution and no farther.
Any helpful reservation, anv reserva
tion lhat will reassure our people.
ny reservation that will protect any

that emasculates the basic principle
will be.
League, Entrance 'lsioned.
I have the notion that there will be
many new senators in the upper
branch after March 4, 1921; we will
know the wishes of the people: the
subject will he better understood; and
I hazard tne guess that under the
recommendation of the next president
of the United States, with the co
operation of the senate, part of whose
membership will have been changed,
that we will enter In your name and
ln the name of America the league of

SCALP TROUBLES
ARE MANY
Specialist Says Different Hair
and Scalp Aliments Keqiure
Different Treatment.
Prof. John H. Austin of Chicago.
who now has offices at The Owl Drug
Co has devoted over forty years to
the study of hair and scalp troubles.
During this time he has found that
only with the aid of a most powerful
microscope is it possible to determine
the exact trouble with which tha hair
or scalp is afflicted.
People who really value their hair
have come to consider a hair special
ist of as much importance as doctor
or dentist, for how can anyone with
out the knowledge or experience dis
tinguish between such scalp disorders
as seborrhoea-oleosa, seborrhoea sic
ca, alopecia pityroaes, etc. 7
Prof. Austin says that the use of
mange cures, dandruff cures, hair
tonics, vaseline and elixirs is like
taking medicine without knowing
what you are trying to cure.
Men and women troubled with scalp
ailments should see Prof. Austin, let
him turn a powerful microscope upon
their hair and show them these para
sites that destroy the hair cells and
roots, and they will be convinced that
the particular trouble must be known
before each case can be intelligently
treated-
Uurlng the past two years, at The
Owl Drug Co., Prof. Austin has taught
thousands of people how to stop fall
ing hair, remove dandruff, relieve
Itching scalp and grow new hair.
