THE 3IORMG OKJEGOMAX, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1920 9, FIGHT Oil MTHUe CALLED DISTORTED District's Vote on Prohibition Upheld, Is Repty. ISSUES ARE BEFOGGED Argument" for Election of Demo cratic KlTal Is Branded as Funny Inconsistency. formed on the campus and are mak ing a strong effort, not only to get speakers but to get individuals in terested in personal argument. The Harding club, which has been organ ized, -will conduct a publicity cam paign before the general election, and its members will be urged to pull for Harding in the straw vote. The Harding club has been the first to organize, but the Cox supporters meet tonight. The republicans have announced they will hold a big rally in conjunc tion with the Eugene committee Tues day night. DEMOCRAT IS COXTEHTED The inconsistencies of the present campaign strike me as positively funny." said John L. Day, chairman of the Multnomah county republican central committee, yesterday. "We have the democratic candidate for president running about over the country upholding the league of na tions which guarantees the territor ial integrity of all the signers there to, and at the same time promising the Irish home rule advocates to take their troubles before the league. He Is lauding Hiram Johnson in North ern California and Herbert Hoover in Southern California. Having been nominated by Murphy, Brennan. Nu gent and Taggert, he is nevertheless posing as a dry candidate after be ing elected governor of Ohio by the wet vote, of Hamilton county, too. Local Contest Held Similar. "Cox is telling the people of the country that prohibition is a dead Issue, but he is not telling them what he will do if the question comes up to him should he by any chance be elected president. "Locally, we have a similar contest. Representative McArthur. believing in representative government, told the people of this district he was for ma jority rule and that he would vote in congress as his district voted on the prohibition question. "A majority of 9769 was cast against prohibition in his district. 'Mr. McArthur voted as he was in structed to vote by that majority. A number of people and the so-called non-partisan' press who are always advocating the 'rights of the dear people' most vociferously are now us ing every effort to defeat him for voting as directed by the majority, Indicating that they are for the ma jority rule only when they happen to be on the majority side. Other Isnuri Held Bigger. "Their pratings of loyalty to a rep resentative government, when they stoop to fool the people into support ing a democratic nominee for con gress under the guise of prohibition. Should disgust any thinking person. "There are much bigger issues be fore the people this coming election than prohibition, which is now an established fact, and which is as sure to remain a permanent law as that which abolished slavery. Mr. Mc Arthur has already voted that the Volstead act should remain and he Bays that he will continue to do so. "His opponent, as a democrat, is for the league of nations. She is op posed to having the Americanizing interpretation of article 10 included In the league. The reservation of ar ticle 10 is to the effect that 'the United States assumes no obligation to preserve the territorial integrity or political Independence of any other country by the employment of its military or naval forces, its resources r any form of economic discrimina tion, or to interfere in any way in controversies between nations, in cluding all controversies relating to territorial integrity or political inde pendence, whether members of the league or not. under the provision of article 10, or to employe the military cr naval forces of the United States under any article of the treaty for any purpose, unless in any particular ease the congress, which, under the constitution, had the sole power to declare war or authorize the employ ment of the military or naval forces of the United States, shall, in the ex ercise of full liberty and action, by ct or joint resolution so provide." Tariff Also I Opposed. "McArthur's opponent is opposed to a republican protective tariff and Is for a tariff for revenue only, which permitted the shipping in of Canadian lumber and other foreign products, causing our mills to shut down and causing the necessity of establishing Bouphouses to feed the unemployed of 1913 and 1914. "As an indorser of President Wil son's administration, she must be in favor of his Panama canal policy, which compelled American ship own ers to pay tolls on vessels used for coastwise shipping, giving the British Columbia sawmill and shingle mill owners, who employ cheap coolie la bor, another advantage over the lum bermen of Washington and Oregon. "Still the opposing forces try to cover all the main issues and befog i . .... nun uto try ux prohibition.' "Sam Gompers. the democratic union labor leader, has sent out word that all congressmen who voted against class legislation should be defeated. Fnd as a result, every red. every I. V. W. and every socialist voter who Is against our country and its flag a-d against the republican nominees, are voting with that misguided part of the ministerial association which Is trying to defeat Kepresentati ve McArthur the. man from this district who made a promise and kept it and the man who now promises that he will vota to keep the existing pro hibition laws on the statutes of the United States end who promises to support the republican policies as Blood for by Mr. Harding."

Political exeaalzaUonA &r feeing E. Versteeg Declares He Will Vote for Hardins, Stanfield. "I have carefully studied the issues of the present campaign," said E. Versteeg, a prominent democrat in an interview yesterday. "I am a democrat and have always been a democrat since I have been a legal voter. I am still loyal to the historic principles of the democratic party as expounded by Thomas Jef ferson. Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland. 1 stood by William Jen nings Bryan. But 1 am unable to follow Wilson and Cox in their pres ent departure from the sturdy na tionalism of our forefathers to the hazy internationalism that they are fostering in the present campaign. I have determined, therefore, feeling that it is my duty to do so, to vote for Harding and Coolidge. and in so doing, to be consistent. I will also vote for Robert N. Stanfield, as I do not believe it wise to have a repub lican president and a. democratic senate. "I do not join the republican party. I am still a democrat, but when demo cratic leaders abandon democratic principles I feel, that under our sys tem of party government, it is my duty in the present election to vote for the republican candidates. I shall also, in this present election, vote for McArthur, as this will insure a har monious administration." McARTHCB REPLIES TOX1GHT Charges by Political Enemies to Be Answered. Representative McArthur will answer the charges of his political enemies who aver that he is a. "do nothing member of a do nothing con gress," at the public rally of the Mc-Arthur-for-Congress clubs to be held tonight in Library hall. He will cite the Congressional Record as proof of his activities at Washington and de clared that he will also have some thing to say about the radical ele ments which are opposing him. The McArthur-for-Congress clubs, 15 in all. were organized two weeks ago by republican women of Multno mah county.

Copeland of Tacoraa and Forest L. Hudson, former candidate for United States senator on the re pupiican ticket, will address a re publican rally here Saturday night at the Grand theater. Lloyd George and Andrew Bonar Law from the commons debate tonight on the question of unemployment was much remarked, but the inference was that it was connected with the industrial crisis. The premier ap peared in the house late at night and replying to Arthur Henderson's ques tion, made a statement to the effect .that he had been engaged for two days in discussions with the parties concerned in the coal strike, with fa vorable progress; but he continued: "I cannot withhold from the house the fact that the very precipitate ac tion of the railway executive has em barrassed negotiations. It is a great misfortune and has added seriously to the differences. 'It was interference, exceedingly rash, exceedingly indiscreet and ap parently not desired by anybody. Ac tion of that kind encourages irrespon sible sections, who are behind the re sponsible leaders. I hope the discus sions will be resumed later, but it would be very much easier if they were left to the miners themselves. Mr. Lloyd George expressed regret that he was unable to grve a more satisfactory account. During the af ternoon he was engaged in a full dis cussion with spokesmen of the miners. who had represented them in the house Tuesday,- with a view to dis cussing possible alternative ways oi reaching a settlement. The premier said the discussions had not been actually broken off and so far as the government was con cerned every endeavor would bo made to reach a peaceable solution. J. H. Thomas followed in a brief speech in which he paid tribute to the premier's conciliatory tone, de spite the aggravated situation, and expressed the hope that the premier would not allow new developments to prevent a continuance of the nego tiations. The effect of the coal strike is ap preciably felt by the various unions affiliated with the national transport workers federation, the members of which are being thrown out of em ployment in increasing numbers by the coal stoppage. The reports of the stoppage of work from various branches which were laid before the executive committee today were serious. From 60,000 to 100.000 transport workers are idle. and hundreds of thousands of other workers in other callings have been obliged to remain idle, according to secretary Robert Williams. At midday thousands connected with the shipping industry were idle. The Clyde area was especially af fected. At Newcastle, Hull, Cardiff and other coal ports the work of loading vessels ceased, and it is ex pected unemployment will be inten sified as the supplies of fuel dimin lsh. Many steamers are lying idle for lack of cargo. The feeling has become acute In various places and some branches of the transport federation have adopted resolutions urging the federation to take sympathetic action. The execu tive committee of the transport and the North Wales council of the na tional union of railway men has adopted a resolution recommending that immediate instructions be given to members to refuse to handle coal and in the event of the failure to reach a settlement before October 24 that a national strike shall be called. Reductions in the number of trains have already been made on all the principal English lines and a drastic curtailment was made today on the Irving-ton School Meeting Tonight John M.
