THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23. 1920
RDLPH SIYS BAKER
SHOULD BE ELECTED
San Francisco Mayor Thinks
Portland Executive Big Man.
HARDING VICTORY SEEN
California Will Go Republican by
Big Vote, Is Prediction, and
Waste Is Denounced.
"Mayor Baker is one of the ablest
and most fearless an in public life
today and is a man who is possessed
of .peculiar characteristics that make
him an excellent executive," was the
Slowing tribute paid to Portland's
mayor yesterday by James Rolph,
mayor of San Francisco, who was
in Portland on business.
"I sat alongside Mayor Baker in
Washington. D. C..-' continued Mayor
T:olph, "during the governors' and
mayors' conference called by the
president. If your people could have
watched Mayor Baker in actfon there
they would have sure seen the rea
son for the high regard and respect
for him that is held by the big men
of the country.
Rr-Kln-t lfn Ik trjcrd.
"Mayor Baker has a punch and
kick in him that are worth while.
Portland is to be congratulated in
having- a man like him in the mayor's
chair, and if he is willing to con
tinue to serve the people in that
capacity, your people surely ought to
keep him on the job."
A complete republican sweep will
result on November 2 in California,
according to Mayor Rolph. The Bear
state is solid for Harding and Cool
itige. "California has a republican regis
tration of about 6 to 1, and the gen
eral feeling prevails that the entire
republican ticket will be successful."
Although business men throughout
California are optimistic over the
future, the Mayor said, the present
policy of the United States shipping
board in the operation of its ships
Iti causing a tremendous disturbance
in business channels.
Grrnt Wante I C hni-Rrd.
"This nation and its people will
awake some morning faced with a
colossal deficit due to the waste of
funds in the operation of the ahlpe
of the shipping board. If men were to ,
shovel $20 gold pieces into the man-
hole of the Portland sewers as fast
as they could be turned out of the
United States mint the waste would
be no greater. j
"Unless eome definite policy is I
adopted by the shipping board for j
the operation tti Its ships, every
private ship owner will go broke.
Mayor Rolph said that the average
business man in California was look
ing toward the change in the na
tional administration next March for
the return of stability n business
oor.d-itions, not alone on the Pacific
coast, but throughout the United
States.
JAIL ENDS BRIDAL JOY

Sue for Divorce.

That her husband has ostracized and
banished society and friends was an
allegation of Florence Taylor of Scio

cuit court here yesterday.
Mrs. Taylor testified that a few
days before their marriage at San
Diego, Cal.. March 9, 1917, her hus
band bought an automobile, and four
days after the wedding Taylor was in
jail at Santa Ana, Cal., because the
check he had given for the car had
been returned. She said his relatives
came to his rescue and made good

and they came to Orego
The w-ife said, however, that Taylor
later began issuing checks without
funds' to cover them, and his parents
at different times made them good.

(Excepting Only Imported English-Made Overcoats)
. Note, please, that this extraordinary offering of a
fourth discount affects every suit and every overcoat
selling until now in our stock from $65 to $100. That
is to say, the man who buys one of these garments re
tains in his possession exactly one-fourth of the amount
at which the garment is regularly marked and the man
who buys both a suit and an overcoat in this sale saves
half (or average half) of what one garment would cost
him regularly.
It is unusual for a man to be able
to save on a new high-quality style
perfect suit in this way, and when a
like large saving is to be had on a new
overcoat of equal excellence then it is
an altogether exceptional oppor
tunity. The best makes of suits, the best makes of over
