Owing to .n attack of tonsllttis
Representative MoArthur was forced
to cancel a speaking engagement in
South Portland last night, hut he
will pea.k at the Brooklyn school to
night, at Linnton tomorrow night and
at the Failing school Friday evening.
Mr. MoArthur is satisfied with the
condition ot his campaign and ex
pects to be re-elected by a large ma
jority. He . has received assurances
of support from unexpected sources,
particularly from numerous minis
ters, who were suptposed to be against
him because of his vote ag-ainst na
tional prohibition.
"Efforts of the oippoottlon to make
prohibition the principal issue of the
campaign have fizzled." said Mr. Mo
Arthur last night. "It was under
stood that last Sunday was to be set
aside as "Prohibition Sunday by all
the churches represented in the Port
land Ministerial association, and that
congregations were to be advised to
vote against me on election day. That
was simply a clever trick by which
a large number of Portland ministers
were to be lined u!P to pull the chest
nuts out of the fire for the demo
cratic nominee for congress, but only
a few fell for it. On the other hand,
many ministers expressed Indignation
at the clumsy effort to drag them
Into the local democratic campaign.
"Prohibition is not an issue in the
congressional election in this dis
trict, for the reason that I have al
ready voted against repealing the
Volstead law and will continue so to
vote, unless the people of the district
order me to do otherwise. A few
prohibition fanatics are endeavoring
to punish me for keeping my pledge
on the liquor question, but fair
minded .people appreciate my position
and approve my record.
'Several of the directors of the
anti-saloon league of Oregon are
openly supporting my candidacy.
These gentlemen are republicans and
they are not allowing themselves to
be buncoed by the prohibition camou
flage of the opposition."
STUDENTS TAKE STRAW VOTE
Duty of Citizenship Impressed on
Pupils at Oregon.
tnsriVERSTTT OF OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 26. (Special.) Today, ' the last
day of the campus political battle,
both the Harding club and the Cox
Koosevelt organizations are holding
big rallies to see that their side is
well represented and that the results
point their way.
The republicans have secured Sen
ator J. J. Crossley of Iowa, who is
touring the Pacific coast, as the
speaker of the evening. The demo
crats are yet unable to announce def
initely the name of their speaker.
Straw voting will begin in the
morning, and the student and faculty
ballots will be kept separate. Each
etudent will be required to sign his
vote so no person will be counted
twice.
Those who have been responsible
for the organization of the campus
clubs have continually maintained
that their chief endeavor Is not to
present the arguments of the party,
but to Impress upon the individual
student his duty as a citizen to pre
sent his ballot on election day. To
day's straw ballot is the result of
concerted action of the Oregon Daily
Emerald, the student newspaper, and
the two campaign clubs for this purpose.
RES ID EXT OF OHIO VOTES
Ballot Is Cast In State of Trashing
ton for Senator Harding.
FROSSER, "Wash., Oct. 26. (Spe
cial.! So far as is known, the first
ilaruing Dailot cast In tsenton county
was that of George A. Jobes, a rail
way executive here with the Benson
party Monday. This was a non-resi
dent ballot and was cast before Coun
ty Clerk E. E. Stewart. Mr. Jobes,
who lives In Greenville, O.. voted in
order that his ballot might get back
to Ohio in time to be counted on elec
tion day.
In casting a non-resident ballot It Is
necessary to go before the county
clerk and have it certified. The coun
ty clfrk then mails the ballot to 4he
county auditor of the county in which
the non-resident lives and he in turn
most sue that it goes to the judge of
the precinct In which the person is
registered and the judge casts it on
election day.
County Clerk Stewart states that
the Ohio ballot is much smaller than
the Washington ballot, being approx
lmately 12x15 inches.
SENATORIAL FIGHT IS BITTER
Brno Dennis and W. M. Pierce
Develop Hot Campaign for Seat.
LA CFRANDE, Or., Oct. 26. (Spe
elal.) Closing days of Union county's
campaign show marked activity and
republicans and democrats are work
ing vigorously to get the last im
pressive word to ears of the voters.
One of the most , energetic fights
which developed during the past teek

Union and Wallowa counties. Walter
M. Pierce, against the advice of dem
ocrats, filed for nomination In the
primaries, and republicans wrote in
the name of Bruce Dennis, editor of

Two measures of vital importance the people of Oregon are to be voted
upon at the November 2d election. All the voters in Oregon are entitled to
vote upon one measure; only Portland citizens vote upon the other. To ac
complish their purpose BOTH must pass. Think what the passage of these
measures will mean to Portland and Oregon and urge your friends to vote for
them. Here are some of the things their passage will mean:
It will mean that for the first time in her history Portland can
say to the world that she has a DEEP CHANNEL TO THE SEA.
It will mean that INDUSTRIES will locate in Portland which
would otherwise go to Seattle, Tacoma or some California port.
It will mean that PAYROLLS big ones will be added to
Portland through public and private enterprise. .
It will mean that" $10,000,000 will be spent not all at once, but
in the course of several years in dredging and filling, so that
SHIPS and FACTORIES will be induced to come and take the
place of SWAMPS and FROG PONDS.
It will mean that Oregon will have a WORLD MARKET for
her lumber, wheat, wool and fruit regardless of rail rates.
The land required for the channel improvement will cost about 60 cents a
year for each $1000 of assessed property during the life of the bonds.

Pro-Iieagne Special peakera to
Appear at Auditorium.
Democrats will hold a rally at the
Auditorium tonight to hear speakers
of the pro-league special, which will
arrive late this afternoon. The
three speakers who will be heard
Democratic leader apparently are
quite satisfied with the absence of
the secretary of war. There has been
a personal feud between Mr. , Baker
and Senator Chamberlain since the
Oregon senator attacked the adminis
tration of the war department by Mr.
Baker, and it was over Mr. Baker
that Senator Chamberlain made his
celebrated speech In New Tork which
set him apart f rom the administration
and which caused President Wilson to
attempt Chamberlain's defeat in the
democratic primaries. The anti
Chamberlain democrats are disap
pointed at the non-arrival of Mr.
Baker, for they are with him.
Tonight's rally will be the last big
democratic gathering in Portland
during the campaign, although Sena
tor Shepard of Texas will speak" at
the Auditorium next Monday night.
The management of the democratic
campaign is expecting great things
from the meeting tonight because of
the prominence of the speakers of
the pro-league special.

The THREE-MILL TAX measure is NOT A NEW TAX and
means NO INCREASE IN TAXES next year.
Unless it is voted this year the same, as it was a year ago, one
third of the fire stations must be closed because of lack of funds.
Police protection, playgrounds, street cleaning and every other
city service must be reduced nearly one-third. There is no way
to prevent it. After election will be too late.
Reduced fire protection means higher insurance rates and
greater fire loss.

"The Third District in Congress"
Five Reel Comedy Featuring
MAWSH McARTHUR
Reel V Climax: "The Real Mawsh
rpHE story cf Pat would not be complete with
out a word on his Congressional inactivities
All Congress is divided into three groups. A
small group which does the managing, the tried
and true machine members. A small group- of
independents, who try to break through. And
the vast mass of members who merely fox-trot
when the orchestra starts to play. Just votes
to be counted the necessary units that go to
make up a majority. A few years ago someone
eoined a name for such members, taking the
initial letters of "might as well stay home." Tney
were called MAWSH members. And that's the
class they put Pat in. He has a desk, and an
office; he has a seat and a vote. And that's alL
Otherwise MAWSH. A group of men as long
ago as X915 turned a scrutiny on Congress and
. its members. They gave a characterization to
each one. ' Some were written as "Machine mem
ber; able." Some were written. as "conferee" on
this or that business; some were written as
"Mawsh; fair voting record." And so on. But
when they came to C. N. McArthur, representa
tive of the Third district of Oregon, none of these
modifications were necessary. They just wrote
him down "Mawsh." That's all.. Really if Pat
is once, more elected let's be game and get up a
subscription for him. ' He needs a pair of spurs
very badly. As it stands there is absolutely
nothing to prevent his feet from slipping off the
desk.
TJONEST now, does C. N. McArthur represent
YOU in Congress ? Are you satisfied with
the sort of agent you have in Congress? Re
member the acts of the agent, according to law,
are the acts of the principal. Has Mr. McArthur
as YOUR agent been giving YOU a square deal ?
If the record outlined above is what you would
have done, then you owe it to Mr. McArthur to
vote for him. If not
