CONSCIENCE WOULD
DICTATE, SAYS COX
League Moral and Legal Ob
ligations Discussed.

Bay in Ohio Cities, Among Them
- , IiddIeton, His Birthplace.
. -. DAYTON, O., Oct. 27. Whether or
not the American congress would be
-' ' bouad morally to adopt recommenda
. - tions from the League of Nations was
discussed today by Governor Cox. dur
ing a demonstrative day spent in his
t home communities, including Middle-
. town, O., his boyhood home, and here
J tonight in his home city.
The question of a moral obligation
i ws5 asked point-blank by a man in
t the democratic presidential candi
date's audience at Middletown. With
out giving a "yes or no" answer, Gov-
ernor Cox declared that there would
be no legal obligation upon the
United States, but that "the presump
tion is that the 'conscience of the
world would determine some action
' which would not only be right but
effective." He added that the Mon
roe doctrine had been maintained
without the firing of a shot and that
- he favored a Hitchcock reservation
declaring congress should be free to
I accept or reject league advice as to
employing Americanmilltary force. -
r Thousands Cheer Governor.
The governor's home folks turned
out in force today, thousands joining
- in giving him enthusiastic testi
' monials of esteem. He made five
speeches, mostly devoted to vigorous
championing of the league of nations,
in his home communities. Many dele
gations from nearby cities were here
tonight. After two addresses at
Middletown, the governor spoke to a
women's audience which packed
Eagle's hall tonight, to another ca
pacity audience at Memorial hall and
to a large overflow meeting outside.
A red torchlight procession, con
taining numerous bands and hun
dreds of persons in marching clubs,
preceded tonight's rallies of which
fireworks were a feature. In the
events the governor was the center
Of cheering, surging throngs.
Discussion of moral obligations
under the league was the first during
; the governor's campaigning and was
broached by a stranger in the gov
ernor's Middletown audience. It was
aid that the man, who stated that at
one time he had taught school, re
fused to give his name.
Debate Spirited One.
He and Governor Cox held a leng
thy and spirited but friendly joint de
bate which lasted several minutes,
regarding the moral obligation and
', several other league questions.
The incident caused the governor
to relate other circumstances of the
campaign in which he said "hecklers"
and other means had been used by
Chairman Hays of the republican na-
' tional committee in attempts at em
barrassment. ' Governor Cox also continued hot
fire attacks in all of today's speeches
against Senator Harding, his repub-
; Mean opponent, reiterating that the
r senator was "wiggling and wobbling"
upon the league issue and trying tb
; obtain election "under false pre
tenses." I The governor reiterated that a
J "great wave" of league sentiment
, was sweeping, the nation.
The "governor's debate regarding
league obligations followed his state
.' Jnent made in most of his speeches to
' meet contentions that the league
would, as the governor put it. "take
J; American boys into every back-alley
row in Europe."
"Ijfatevc Bet on Morality."
When he reiterated the contention
that congress alone had power, to de
clare war, "in or out of the league,"
and that the league council was lim-
- ited solely to advice, the governor's
questioner interjected: "The president
J would advise' congress as to the
recommendations of the council.
"Would not that morally bind con-
grress?" t
"It is very distinctly stated." the
I., governor replied, "in one of the
Hitchcock reservations that we un
dertake nothing which binds the
United States to go to war because
- it had no power to make such an ar
rangement in view of the limitations
under the constitution. This covenant
of the league is based upon the idea
7 that civilisation has had a lesson, and
this covenant is simply a bet on (he
morality of the world. Tou say to
me 'how do I know that moral force
. will be sufficient?' I will give you a
historic precedent. Isn't the covenant
of the league internationally pre-
; cisely what the Monroe docine is on
this continent? What is behind the
Monroe doctrine except our moral
force? Have we ever had to fire a
shot in 100 years to maintain it?"
Cox's QnrsHonrr Prrslxts.
"That doesn't answer my question,"
the governor's questioner interrupted.
"Well, then, I will answer it in an
other way." the candidate resumed.
"What yoti have in your mind is
this:
"'What will lie upon the conscience
of the world in the face of a grave,
world-wide disorder?"
"The presumption Is that the con
science of every nation will determine
come action which will not only be
right but which will be effective."
Governor Cox then read the Hitch
cock reservation, stating that con
gress would decide when American
armed forces should be used and
asked:
"Doesn't that answer it?"
"Will the recommendation of the
council," the governor's interrogator
pressed, "bind congress morally to
follow the council's recommendation,
yes or no?
Amid cries from the audience of
' ' "throw him out," the governor, inslst
A lng that the man be given a hearing,
i responded:
"Wait a minute. I am going to do
this In my own way. If a grave mat
ter arises we are not legally bound to
do it. Tou ask if we are morally
bound. If It Is a grave matter, we
re going to accept a message from
God Almighty. We are making a bet
on the morality of the world."
Sovereignty Lom Denied.
The governor's questioner declared
that Article 10 would sign away
American sovereignty and the candi
date replied :
Who signs with us? All the na
tions that go Into the league. Then
i each one. according to your admis
. sion, signs Just as much away as the
other one signs and as they are giv
' ing it up, where does it go? Into the
, air? If we signed away our eov
' erelgnty wouldn't that be in conflict
with the constitution? The supreme
court would stop it as quickly as it
would stop burglary."
Governor Cox then reiterated his
statement than an American bar as
sociation committee had declared the
league constitutional in every respect
and asked his questioner if he know
where "his candidate" stood upon the
league.
"He isn't so divinely inspired," the
governor's co-debater replied, "that
he can tell immediately what be is
going to do with something In the
future." '
"No, he la senatorially inspired,"
Governor Cox responded.
. "He is willing to cross the bridge
when he comes to if" and eolvehose
questions by a complete diagnosis of
the situation a the time," came the
reply.
Somebody Fooled, Says Cox.
"It you were running for the presi
dency and Judge Taft said -you were
for the league and Hiram Johnson
said you were against the league, and
if you kept quiet, wouldn't you be
trying to acquire the presidency under
false pretenses?" Governor Cox asked.
"Senator Harding is either tooling
Taft or Johnson, is he not?"
The governor's questioner made
some gesture with his head and the
governor, closing the debate, said:
"I don't blame you for shaking your
head. That is what the country is
doing." The audience cheered the
governor frequently during .-the
debate. - . .

MIDDLE WEST REPUBLICAN BY
HUGE MAJORITIES.
Vice-Chairman of Committee Says
Harding and Coolidge Will
Sweep Eight States.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The political
situation in the middle- west, now
settled into its final form, indicates
republican majorities so enormous
that one hesitates even to mention
them," John T. Adams, vice-chairman
of the republican national committee,
declared today in a statement. He
said Minnesota would go for Harding
by more than 100,000; that the Wis
consin support of Harding was so
great there was no national campaign
in that state; that Illinois' plurality
for Harding would ' probably .be
around 250,000 and that Indiana was
safe for Harding.
"The Nebraska democratic organi
zation is moribund," he continued.
"The republican majority in that
state will be unusually large, at least
50,000.
"In Iowa Harding and Coolidge will
win by well over 100,000. Senator
Cummins will pull through, but he
will run considerably behind the na
tional ticket.
"North and South Dakota will show
a vote about three to two in favor of
Harding and Coolidge. The majorities
will not be enormous but they, will
be sure."
LABOR SUES 'REACTION'
ISSUES EVADED, DECLARES
FEDERATION' STATEMENT.
Non-Partisan Campaign Committee
Repeats Indorsement of Cox and
Democratic Platform.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. The non
partisan political campaign committee
of the American Federation of Labor,
headed by Samuel Gompers, issued a
statement tonight declaring that "re
action is doing its best to conceal and
evade" the paramount Issues of the
campaign. "No thinking American,"
the statement said, could fail to see
the issues, which were defined as
follows:
"The league of nations; protection
of the people against profiteers; rela
tion of government to the aspirations
of workers; use of the injunction as a
means of compelling workers to obey
the will of employers; the high cost
of living; establishment of arbitrary
tribunals and boards to coerce work
ers, repress their normal and legiti
mate activities and clog the processes
of industry by artificial methods; the
right of workers to organize for mu
tual 'advancement and development
and to withdraw their service when
terms and conditions of service are
oppressive."
The statement reiterated the com
mittee's previous indorsement of Gov
ernor Cox and the democratic plat
form and concluded: -
"On these issues must America de
cide. The American people never wilT
ingly go back "

cause of Ueagne Stand.
'THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 27. William Ran
dolph Hearst became the center of
political interest when it became
known that all Hearst newspapers
were to carry "a signed editorial from
Mr. Hearst calling on Cox to repudi
ate Wilson "and be president." With
out seeing the copy of the editorial,
the interpretatioir generally was that
Mr. Hearst was preparing to-switch
to the democratic ticket.
Several eastern papers carried news
comment to that effect this morning.
When the Hearst" papers appeared,
however, it became evident tjsat the
newspaper publisher was merely seek
ing by an editorial -address to Mr.
Cox to keep his own record straight
as a democrat, because in another col
umn Arthur Brisbane gave the usual
hearty commendation of Senator
Harding, saying:
On Tuesday next a republican pres
ident will be elected. There should
be some encouragement in that fact
to the Jobless man or the man wno
fears soon to become Jobless. It is
clear, that Senator Harding has his
mind on supplying work for people
here at home rather than In tne
problems of Mesopotamia or Arme
nia." Hope Held Out to Cox.
Mr. Hearst's editorial was based on
an assumption that Cox intended to
be understood in certain West Vir
ginia speeches as haying repudiated
the Wilson league as well as criticis
ing President Wilson. Appealing to
Cox to go further, Mr. Hearst said:
There Is yet time. Governor cox.
to take the historic democratic posi
tion. "Repudiate utterly Wilson and the
Wilson party; lead a truly democratic
party with true Jeffersonian policies,
and lead It to victory.
"Be a democrat.
"Be an American.
"And be president." . ,
Martine Goes to Harding.
In the last stages of the campaign
opposing political leaders are putting
in much of their 'time counting the
new converts reporting each day to
one or the other of the headquarters.
The republicans added a democratic
ex-United States senator to Harding
supporters last night ' when James
Martine, . ex-senator of -New Jersey,
announced that he could not vote for
Cox because of the latter's stand for
the Wilson league.
Martine was at one time a Wilson
lieutenant in New Jersey and ob
tained his senatorship through a let
ter written by Mr. Wilson when gov
ernor of New Jersey demanding that
a democratic legislature abide by the
peoples preference. Martine had re
ceived the democratic .preference vote
In a state-wide primary, being the
only candidate on the democratic tick
et; but James Smith Jr., then the New
Jersey boss, sought to gain the sen
atorship by having the legislature
elect him Instead of Martine. Then
Governor Wilson stepped in and
forced Smith out of the race.

ership of William MeKinley which
found a new era of American ad
vancement. It was under his leader
ship that wise American policies
lifted us. into new good fortune and
permanent gain as a thriving, eager,
producing nation, acquiring new com
mercial strength, founding a new in
dustrial life, weaving a new network
of transportation, creating oppor
tunity for mankind.
"It was MeKinley who planted the
flag abroad and gave America's first
bestowal of our standards of freedom,
with . new glory to the republic. It
was Roosevelt who brought to this
glorious America a new conscience
and a stalwart doctrine that all rights
must be foutided upon obligations and
the realization of man's duty to man.
and "a solicitude for the weak which
never forgot justice to the strong, a
fundamental sense of fair play, an
appreciation of mercy and tenderness,
and an enduring faith in the right
ness of men and women.
"Men and women love him and
men and women will forever love him,
not merely because he had loved'them
and had eternal faith in their capacity
to. reach new heights in spiritual
achievement, but because he awoke in
them his own faith because he taught
them to have faith in their own con
sciences and their own Tightness. So
this new America of ours should
have an unparalleled sense of in
tegrity, an unparalleled defilre for
service and an unparalleled capacity
to show the world that mercy and
justice can go hand in hand.
"To America Roosevelt, ever ready
to dedicate himself in the fullness of
his body, his mind and his spirit, gave
a new conscience. I would be in
sensible to the call of a noble purpose
which any man or woman, no matter
how humble, may hear if he will

peoples and nations which shall draw

which shall allay contentions and

"I want my chance to lead in mak

where no class contentions can arise
because men's minds understand other

"That is my ambition. That is my
opportunity for service to America as
I conceive it. It is my faith that
America reaching for new understand

people shall not fail."
Senator Harding tonight restated
his opposition to the Versailles league
of nations and his faith in an inter
national association based on Justice.
He declared his stand on the league
issue . had been consistent from the
start and that the "only change of po
sition I've taken is in the imagination
of those who do not know jvhat they
want to do." .
"Do you stand with Senator John
son or with Mr. Taft?" asked a man
in the crowd. . '
"I am happy to answer that ques
tion," replied the. senator. "I've Just
beea telling you of my belief in rep
resentative government. 'As a can
didate for president, I don't, ask Sen
ator Johnson to agree with me. That's
the thing I'm rebelling against. And
I don't ask Mr. Taft to agree with me.
But I do think I've made one con
tribution to America. I've certainly
brought Mr. Johnson and Mr. Taft
closer together than they ever were
in their lives before."
O moment later a negro asked
whether Mr. Harding stood for sup
pression of lynch law and the nomiitee
replied that he believed- in equal
rights and a law enforcement that
"Justly and righteously protects every
human being under the flag."

"STATE-WIDE59
TELEPHONE SERVICE
Our efforts are constantly directed to the extension and improvement of
"state-wide" telephone service. Large and small communities are dependent
upon each other, commercially and socially. Good telephone equipment in the
other cities and towns of Oregon, with good construction and well-maintained
"long-distance" pole lines and wires between, mean convenience and profit
both to the telephone patrons of those sections and to those of Portland.
The value of any telephone is proportionate to- the number of other tele
phones which may be connected with it. In Oregon there are approximately
138,000, telephones. Ideal telephone service means the prompt connection of
any one of these with any other and the least possible loss . in strength and
distinctness in the conversations that follow.
Our entire plant is engineered and constructed with the 'object of render
ing a satisfactory "state-wide" service sufficient in facilities available and
with these facilities efficiently maintained. For this purpose the telephone
equipment must be better, local and trunk wires must be of proper size and
type, and central offices and switchboards must have additional apparatus to
accommodate and care for the long-distance circuits.
Before the troubled period of the war we always aimed to maintain "spare"
or reserve plant that is, plant just ahead of immediate needs, thus insuring
prompt and more satisfactory compliance with demands for service as they
arose. During the war this reserve was exhausted, as the materials we use
were required and properly taken by the Government and those industries
given priority consideration.
v
With the reconstruction period, as is the case with all other lines of busi
ness, our problems have continued to an unexpected degree. We are still ham
pered by shortage of materials and. delayed deliveries.
We realize the requirements of our long-distance patrons. We have a
comprehensive and well-defined program designed to provide additional toll cir
cuits sufficient to meet the present and constantly growing demands.
