THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER- 21. 1920
SENTIMENT FOB COX
T
Revulsion Noticeable Against
Wilson Administration.
3 COUNTIES DOUBTFUL
Baker, Coos and Jackson Appear
to Be Only Ones in AYhich Dem
ocrats Have Fighting Chance.
Eighteen counties in Oregon were
carried by the democrats four years
ago. Of the 18 counties, present in
dications are that Governor Cox will
not carry more than one or two.
The counties which swung: into the
democratic column In 1916 were prac
tically all of those located east of the
mountains. They were Baker, Coos,
Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Harney. Jack
eon, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Linn,
Malheur. Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla,
Union. Waliowa and Wasco. Mr. Wil
on lost Josephine by four votes.
Charles E. Hushes carried Oregon
by 6726 votes more than Mr. "Wilson
and tho republican lead of 6703 In
Multnomah county accounted for all
but 1023 of that total.
In the coming November election
Harding will carry Oregon by no such
narrow margin. Reports received from
various counties which went demo
cratic in 1916 Indicate that Harding
will have a substantial lead in vir
tually every one. It is possible that
the democrats may retain Baker coun
ty, although the republican state cen
tral committee does, not concede Ba
ker to the opposition. The republican
reports are that Coos county will go
strong for the republican ticket, but
the democrats declare that a canvass
.this week disclosed a great deal of
Cox sentiment. Jackson county, which
is considered democratic, probably
will go for Cox, but these three coun
ties. Baker, Coos and Jackson, appear
to be the only ones in which the dem
ocrats have a fighting chance.
Wasco county slipped away from
tho republican column in 1916, al
though a strongly republican district.
Kverything points to Wasco going re
publican substantially on November
2. Harney county, which went demo
cratic, has had more or less bad luck
with crops and stock and is deter
mined to vote against the democratic
ticket in the hope of better days. Linn
county, which some times elects dem
ocrats to the legislature, is predicted
a strongly republican this year.
Active work is being performed in
Union and Umatilla counties and
these counties will be in the repub
lican column. Reports from Malheur
ay "everything is Harding here."
There Is a noticeable revulsion
against Wilson throughout the state,
attributable largely to his policies of
the last two years. Mr. Wilson at
tracted the women's vote four years
ago. but this time, Judging from re
peated straw votes, the Oregon wom
en are lining up for Harding.
SlItE VXCTORV IS SEEX
Tariff Issue Dominant in Eastern
Part of Oregon.
Letters received from various parts
of the etate by the Harding and
Coolidge club point to an overwhelm
ing victory for the straight republi
can ticket. Mrs. Leander Martin, one
of the club officers, says that she is
confident the club membership will
be 20,000 within the next few days
and it may reach 25,000. This, said
Sirs. Martin, Is conclusive evidence
that tho 40.000 republican majority
tet for Harding and Coolidge in Ore
gon sometime ago will probably go
above 60.000.
P. J. Gallagher ot Ontario writes:
"Public sentiment has changed very
largely In eastern Oregon regarding
the presidential and senatorial cam
paigns and I expect. Harding and
Coolidge and Robert Stanfield to
carry every county east of the
mountains. The tariff question Is the
dominant Issue. Every butcher shop
of the country is selling Argentine
canned meats, while native raised
beef are fattening in the pasture, the
owner being unable to get enough out
of them to pay the bank and buck
eroos' wages. The same thing is true
about mutton and wool. If sentiment
has changed as fast in other parts of
Oregon as It has here, as the result
ot learning that it is necessary to
have a republican senate to back
Harding. Stanfield will carry the state
by 20.000 at least and we will have a
wonderful victory all along the line."

EASTERN OREGON ROILED
WAREHOUSES FILLED WITH
GRAIX FARMERS CAX'T SELL.
Canadians Damping Wheat for Less
Than U. S. Can Raise It, De
clares Stanfield Mayor.
"Business in eastern Oregon is all
shot to pieces these days," declared
Jim Kyle, mayor of Stanfield. Or.,
yesterday. "This dumping of foreign
wheat and stock duty-free into Amery
lean markets has certainly raised
Cain with our prosperity.
"Every warehouse in eastern Ore
gon Is so full of wheat you couldn't
dynamite room enough for another
sackful. We can't sell it. for the
Canadian farmers are the only ones
who seem able' to find a market for
their wheat in the United Statse these
days. They can dump it into this
country for less than we can raise
it. added to which the difference in
exchange gives them a good profit in
itself on every bushel.
"We want a tariff in eastern Ore
gon, and we must have a United
States senator who will help get us a
tariff. Unless we can have protec
tion for our wheat and stock indus
try we might just as well go out of
business right now.
"The events of the last few weeks
have made Robert N. Stanfield thou
sands of votes for United States sen
ator. The people realize now what
a calamity it would be if control of
the United States senate were re
tained by the democrats, thus block
ing the protective tariff programme
of Mr. Harding. Of course, it's now
a foregone conclusion that Harding
will be elected."
Mr. Kyle came to Portland on a
stock train on which were many
eastern Oregon and Idaho stockmen.
Mr. Brawn of Kimberly. Idaho, took
a straw vote for president and sena
tor, with the following results:
Harding 17, Cox 3; Stanfield 8,
Chamberlain 1: Gooding, republican
candidate for United States senator
from Idaho 6; Nugent, democratic
candidate 1.
STANFIELD SEXTIMEXT GROWS
Washington County Expected to
Vote for Republican Xomlnee.
George W. Stitt of Beaverton, who
has passed more than a half century
in Tualatin valley, was at the Hard
ing and Coolidge headquarters yes
terday and predicted that Washing
ton county would give the largest ma
jority ever known for tho republican
ticket.
He said that the eastern portions
of Washington county, where he is
more intimately acquainted,- have
been a stronghold of Senator Cham
berlain but that Stanfield would run
along with the other republican can
didates .this year, inasmuch as many
of his friends who have hereto
fore supported Chamberlain have an
nounced openly that they do not in
tend to do so this year because of
the necessity of the republicans back
ing Harding with a strong republi
can majority in the senate.
Democrats Issue "Hun" Bills.
The Multnomah county democratic
committee yesterday caused hand
bills to be scattered around the streets
which announced: "Huns Vote for
Harding." The dodger is apparently
designed to revive deliberately the
antagonism against the voter3 of
German blood and descent.

Cute Attorney Puts One
Over, but Not for Long.
Roue Fools Traffic Officer for n
While, but Lawyer bets CauKnt.
IT'S possible for the "wise birds"
to out-fox the police traffic bu
reau for a time, but in the end they're
bound to get caught and come to
grief.
There is a certain attorney who en
joys an extensive police court prac
tise and, naturally, he Is mighty fa
miliar with the manner in which traf
fic violations are handled. He drives
a machine and, like other autoists,
is a constant violator of minor traf
fic provisions.
But this attorney thought he could
out-smart traffic cops. For several
months now when he has parked his
car in the downtown district he has
tied one of the police tags to the
steering wheel of his machine. Then
he would leave the automobile stand
ing for hours at a time.
When a traffic officer would find
the machine and start to tag it for
being parked in the congested dis
trict or for longer than the legal pe
riod, he would notice tho police tag
already on tne steering wheel. Think
ing that some other traffic officer
had noticed the same violation, he
would make no arrest.
This was fine stuff fo4 the attor
ney. He was Just a little too wise
for the police bureau, and his clever
ness led to his undoing. He just had
to tell some close friend all about the
way he was "putting it over" the
traffic bureau.
And Frank Ervin, traffic lieutenant,
was standing close In the offing, get
ting an ear-full. Then Lieutenant Er
vin laid for his quarry. Tuesday
night he found the machine with the
fake tag attached to the "steering
wheel. Tearing the tag off, Ervin put
on one of his own. ordering the luck
less attorney to appear at the police
bureau.
And the appearance was made yes
terday. Discovery of the ruse had
wiped the gloating smile from the
countenance of Mr. Autotst. When he
appeared before Judge Rossman yes
terday he confessed that he had been
putting one over on the traffic bu
reau for Eeveral months. It wasn't
so much the offense against the traf
fic regulations as it was the tricky
way in which the law had been
evaded which impelled Judge Ross
man to assess a $10 fine.
Andrew Nelson was still possessed
of a "hang-over" "when, he answered
"guilty" to a charge of, being drunk.
"You can s,tay in jail one day while
you sober up," ordered 'the court-
"No. no; you can't send me to Jail. I
I've got to go to work today," in-
sisiea nelson. .
"Where do you intend to work?"
queried the judge.
"Now. that's a fine question to ask
a man," returned the prisoner as he
squinted his eyes into a quizzical
frown.
Nelson finally confessed that his
last "Job" was a stretch of a few
days on the rockpile, so he was carted
back to jail until he is sobered up.
Apartment house life, with its deli
catessen lunches, is not the life in
which a young man should raise a
family. Judge Rossman told the hus
band of Margaret Silvers. The woman
and Jack Devereaux were held on a
charge of disorderly conduct, but the
husband didn't want to prosecute af
ter he had the erring wife and other
man arrested.
"My mother taught me never to
seek revenge." he told the court.
"The trouble with you is that you
keep your wife and child cooped up
in a stuffy apartment, where there
isn't any chance for real home life."
lectured the court. "Get a house out
in the country, with flowers and a
garden, and give them a chance to
live."
The judge then fined Devereaux $50
and sentenced him to ten days in jail,
while the woman was allowed to de
part with her husband.

VANCOUVER, Wash.. Oct. 20.
(Special.) Several hundred residents
joined in a wide search yesterday for
Mayor Percival of Vancouver, who
has been missing since Sunday. The
suspense is growing more tense and
friends are beginning to lose hope
that he will be found alive.
Rumors that he had been seen in
the vicinity of Glenwood and in the
vicinity of Orchards, by several per
sons yesterday, were run to earth to
day. Boats have searched the Colum
bia river bank on this side for several
miles.
It is believed he has suffered a
lapse of memory and is wandering
aimlessly.

0LE0 BILL IS' ATTACKED
A. G. Clark Says Product Cannot
Be Put Under State Con trol.
Defeat of the referendum measure
which seeks to place a license tax on
oleomargarine manufactured within
the state of Oregon is prophesied by
A. G. Clark, manager of the Associ
ated Industries of Oregon. This or
ganization is fathering the fight to
defeat the measure.
"The act does not and cannot im
pose a license tax on oleomargarine
manufactured in other states." said
Mr. Clark. "Therefore, the passage
of this bit of legislation would not in
any way serve to put the manufac
ture of this product under state con
trol. The federal government has
thrown ample" safeguards around the
manufacture of oleomargarine, and
this law is designed only for the
purpose of harassing an Oregon
industry."

WASTE BIG ISSUE,
BELIEF OF NT
y
Senator Sums Up Failures of
Wilson Regime.
RECLAMAtlON IS STRESSED
Marine Bill Provisions In Opera
tion, Protective Tarlf r and Budg
et System if Harding Wins.
BEND. Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) The
great issue in the present national
campaign is whether or not the people
of the United States will endure an
other four years of waste, ineffi
ciency and extravagance, such as has
characterized the democratic admin
istration. United States Senator Mc
Nary told a large audience at the
Young Men's Christian association au
ditorium here last night.
The argument of the republican
senator, while including a summary
of the shortcomings of the Wilson
regime, was essentially constructive.
He promised that with the election of
Senator Harding to the presidency,
and the return of a republican ma
jority to congress, the merchant ma
rine bill would be made operative,
a protective tariff would be enacted,
and a big programme of reclamation
of now virtually useless lands through
irrigation and drainage, would be ad
vocated. Budget System Feature.
The governing of national expendi
tures by the use of the budget sys
tem will also be a feature of a change
in administration and the re-election
of a republican congress, he declared.
After a personal inspection of the
Benham Falls storage reservoir site,
the key to the greater Deschutes irri
gation project. Senator McNary
pledged that he would recommend to
the senate, on his return to Washing
ton, the use of government money in
the completion of the reclamation
work outlined by the co-operative
state and federal survey of 1913.
Campaign Not Speculative.
"There is nothing spectacular about
thl3 campaign," the speaker pointed
out in opening hfs address, "but the
apparent apathy of the people does
not mean that they are not keenly
alive to the issues involved. What I
do take it to mean is that they are
already well decided for a change of
administration."
Granting that waste in time of war
was inevitable, the senator declared
that the loss of hundreds of millions
of dollars through the construction
of hundreds of wooden vessels of low
carrying capacity In comparison with
their gross weight, was entirely in
excusable. Senator McNary left this morning
for Redmond, where he was to be
the guest of the commercial club at
dinner this noon. In the afternoon,
he planned to go over the irrigated
and irrigable lands tributary to Red
mond. Tomorrow he is scheduled to
speak at Prineville.
BARBERS DENY RATE CUT
Wage Contract Prevents Reduc
tion, Declares Employe.
Reports that some of the barber
shops of the city had reduced rates
for shaving and hair cutting were
denied last night by S. H. Howard,
secretary of the master barbers.
"We are under contract with the
barbers' union for a certain schedule
of wages until next June and there
can't be a reduction before then, at
least," he said. "The price in all
standard shops is, and will remain, 25
cents for shaving and 60 cents for
hair cutting."
Mr. Howard said that there always
has been some shops which had been
aoing work under the standard price
and that if they were quoting shaves
at 15 cents and hair cuts at 35 cents
it was no new thing.
BRITISH COLUMBIA WET

restless night to dwellers in the vi-'
cinity pt Broadway and Salmon j
street Tuesday night. when the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
company had a crew of a dozen men
busy during the early hours of the
morning repairing the crossing of the
Oregon Electric and the street-car
tracks.
Residents in one rooming house said
they were kept awake until 3 o'clock
by the noise, and were disturbed the
remainder of the night. A resident a
block away said that at times the4
hammering shook the house, but did
not greatly disturb him.
One man finally telephoned to the
police, but was informed that the
work was carried on under a spe
cial permit. Dwellers in the vicinity
of the crossing said they were willing
to put up with all necessary noises,
but looked upon the repair work of
the road as something which could
be undertaken in daylight.

2 YOUNG GIRLS MISSING
DESIRE TO ENTER MOVIES IS
BELIEVED TO BE TO BLAME.
Police Are Asked to' Help Locate
Gladys M. Hall, 14, and Leo
nor Shahan, 15.
Belief that two young Portland
girls have been lured from home be
cause of their desire to enter the
movies was expressed yesterday by
anxious parents who asked for police
aid in locating the girls, who have
not been seen since early Sunday af
ternoon. The girls are Gladys M. Hall, a
ward of W. C. "Haldeman. 153 Alberta
street, and Leonor Shahan, 909 Haight
street.
The mother of the Hall girl is
sick at Astoria and she has been a
ward of Mrs. Haldeman for some
time. Sunday she obtained permission
to visit the Shahan girl, and to
gether they left the latter's home for
a visit to a girl friend. They never
arrived at the girl friend's home and
nobody has been found who has
since seen them. The Hall girl had
frequently expressed a desire to go
to California to enter the movies.
Gladys Hall is 14 years old and
large for her age. When last seen
she was wearing a brown plaid
skirt, a white waist and a plum col
ored hat. The Shahan girl is 15
years old and was wearing a toque
skirt, a pink waist, a light gray
coat and high gray shoes.

TRAIN YOUR HAIR AS
AN ACTRESS DOES
No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and no
class must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
develops the information that in hair
care they find it dangerous to sham
poo with any makeshift hair cleanser.
The majority say that to have the
best hair wash and scalp stimulator
at a cost of about 3 cents, one need
only get a package of.canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve a teaapoonful
in a cup of hot water and your sham
noo is ready. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply it to all the
hair instead or Just the top of the

FIERY, ITCHY ECZEMA
HEALED RIGHT UP BY
APPLYING SULPHUR
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Men-tho-Sulphur,
says a noted skin spe
cialist. Because of Its germ-destroying
properties, this sulphur prepara
tion instantly brings ease from skin
irritation, soothes and heals the ec
zema right up and leaves the skin
clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the tor
ment and disfigurement. Sufferers
from skin trouble should get a little
Jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good
.druggist and use it like a cold cream.
