Oct. 31. leaders and workers of the two great parties rested today in anticipation of the final effort at vote getting, before the people final arb'ters of the des tiny of government and nation will come Into their own at the polls to render their decision. The chairman of both republican and democratic national committees epent a portion of the day at their headquarters and each reiterated that the candidate of his party would be elected president. Senator Harding closed his cam paign of speech-making and returned to Marion to await the result of Tues day's balloting.

Hays, chairman of the re publican national committee, summed up the case for Senator Harding In a statement in which be defined the Issues of the campaign. These is sues, he added, "necessarily are per sonified by the candidates." Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratic Vice-presidential nominee, made pub lic a statement predicting that elec tion day will bring "only one possible result the repudiation of Senator Harding as the representative of re action at home and abroad." , "The issues," Mr. Hays' statement declared, "are plain." "Upon the democratic side you have: Orgy of Waste Is Charged. . "1 Internationalism, involving the United Ctates, contrary to its tradi tions, for the first time In its history, in a military alliance with four other great powers to superimpose their will upon all other peopled on. earth. "2 Wilsonism, comprising the truly decadent effects of unpreparedness for both war and peace and an un precedented orgy of waste and ex travagance, a wholly unintelligent and ruinous taxation and an. aggregation of executive heads notoriously match less for Inefficiency. "Upon the republican side you have: "1 Americanism, comprehending the preservation of the independence of the republic; the faith of the fath ers; the integrity of the constitution and an earnest desire to join with all other free nations in an honorable association designed, without impair ment of self-control or self-respect, to maintain universal peace, enduring basis of justice established under the law rather than of authority asserted by force. Co-operation Is Advocated. "2 Comprehension of vital domes tie problems and determination to solve them through inteil'gent ana sympathetic co-operation of al de- of by the arrogant domination of one. "3 A campaign worthy o.f the party's traditions and the country's honor. "Necessarily the candidates person ify the issues. I would ask for nj contrast more vivid. "I make no appeal specifically or exclusively to republicans. My words are addressed to all true Americans. It is not a partisan appeal. It is an appeal to patriotism. Patriotism In Vote TJrsjed. "I simply ask them to vote without fail, conformably to the admonitions of their conscience, their patriotism and common sense." Mr. Roosevelt's statement follows: "Four months of a long uphill fight have come to a close. Seldom before in American history have candidates on one national ticket had to face such a carefully organized opposition. It has been an opposition appealing to all that is negative and most that is sordid in human nature.. We started out against fearful odds. "The nation was in a state of un rest, a let-down following the ten sion of war. This state of mind was capitalized by republican campaign managers. In addition to this they have sought to inflame the preju dice of foreign-born citizens. Final ly, it is well known that the whole support of the present republican ma chinery comes from the group of in terests and politicians In the United States which, after 20 years, can still best be described as the executors and legatees of the political will of Mark Hanna. Cynical Disregard Charged. "Starting jlth the Chicago conven tion, the republican managers have shown a cynical and contemptuous disregard of everything that progres sives have stood for in both parties. "Governor Cox and I have made a very sincere effort to point out the basic rather than the superficial is sues of the campaign. If the voters realize that this is a deep-eated struggle between two different con ceptions of government that Is, it is the old fight between the pro- n. . wiiiucu ana mo reaction ists the results on election Hut- will furnish an overwhelming Surprise to the old-fashioned prognostlcator.

I have noticed that this is the emphatic statement made by engineers and promoters who are anxious to see this lake drained and the soil, which is alkaline in character, sold to farmers. E. G.

He made a thorough study of Malheur lake and the surrounding land, and his report was not only accepted as final -by the railroad company, but was adopted by the federal govern ment.

Miss Grace Arnold, reported In news dispatches as reaching the United States after har rowing experiences In company with Polish refugees fleeing the Bolshevik forces after the evac uation of Minsk, was in Port land a few years ago as secre tary of Judge Hunt of the United States circuit court of appeals. Federal Judge1 Wolver ton remembers Miss Arnold as a very bright young student who attended his lecturer in a law class about two years ago. He also recalls meeting her in San Francisco. Miss Arnold for one year was at the Polish front with an American Red Cross relief unit.. Mr. Hopson in the press of the state as having approved the drainage of Malheur lake. Those who are inter ested in getting the facts should compare what the promoters , say of him and what he says -imself. Mr. Hopson says: "Our land resources are immense, but our wild game is quite limited and being crowded to the wall more and more each year. "The statement has been made that there are 80,000 acres of this swamp land whcih is high-class agricultural land. This is Justified neither by en gineering fact nor the experience of the best agriculturists in the locality and elsewhere. The great " bulk of this lake bed or swamp is unsuited for tillage, even if it could be perma nently laid dry, whlch.Xs . impossible. However, these marshes do have an important local function to perform, as shown in this Investigation, and it fortunately happens that these are compatible with the permanent dedi cation of Malheur lake as a refuge for wild fowl. There is no. question in my mind about the wisdom of putting these wastes in the hands of the gov ernment to use for all time for the whole people." WILLIAM L. FINLEY. NEW PARTY IS HOPEFUL FARMER-LABOR EXPECTS TO ELECT 3 IT. S. SENATORS. Campaign Manager Brown Pre dicts Successes Tuesday in Several States. CHICAGO, Oct. 31. Election of three United States senators, one of them a woman, together with a num ber, of congressmen, is predicted for the farmer-labor party Tuesday by J. G. Brown, its campaign manager, at national' headquarters here. In the states of Washington and' South Dakota, where non-partisan league members have supported the farmer-labor state ticket. Mr. Brown said he expected his party to make a clean sweep.. He said: "The farmer-labor party' will so subtract from the strength of the other two parties, I believe, as to cause the issue of the election to be settled in the house of representa tives and the new party will hold the balance of power in the next session of the United States senate. "The election on the farmer-labor ticket of C. J. France of Washington, Tom Ayres of South Dakota and Mist Anne Martin of Nevada, to the United States senate, we hold to be absolute ly certain. "We are also co-operating with the non-partisan league in other states, working for their senatorial tickets. The republicans and democrats are conceding that the array of senators from those two parties will be neck and-neck. It will- thus be seen that even as many as three or four sen ators wll hold the balance of power in the next senate. It will be recalled that one vote in the last senate would have resulted in the carrying of the league of nations covenant. Of course, all farmer-labor party senators will fight the league of nations, hip and "We will elect enough members of ine national house of representatives to be a formidable If not a decisive factor in that body. Many of th states in the west we Will carry all the way. "The state of South Dakota will go farmer-labor from president down to constable. The non-partisan league there has indorsed the farmer-labor party ana is working in thorough an. cord with it The like holds true of the state of Washington, where we are confident of the election of the whole farmer-labor slate, headed by Robert Bridget for Governor. In that omi.t me tnpie alliance and the non partisan league are both back of the farmer-labor ticket. "Other states that we will 'carry are Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and we have a good fighting iuwa anu inaiana. In New Mexico the absence of any socialist state ticket will contribute to the farmer-labor strength there. The election of at least part of the ticket In Iowa and Indiana, too, and nu merous members of congress is as. sured."

The following re ports of an overwhelming trend of public . opinion are indicative of the many received at republican state headquarters: McMinnville. The political Bltaatlon In Tamhill county has changed considerably fn the taut ten days or two weeks and it looks to me as though Stanfield will carry this county by a small majority. Yours respectfully, W. T. VINTON. North Bend. The campaign in Coos county Is becoming thore interesting and reports from the outlying districts contin ually show republican gains. Mr. Stan field is making more friends every day ajid rapidly, overcoming the apparent lead thai Senator Chamberlain seemed to have a, few months ago. The voters appreciate the great importance of backing up our republican president With a republican sen ate and houwe and I am quite confident that Coos county will roll up a splendid re publican majority for all of the party can didates. Tours very truly, U J. SIMPSON. Astoria. Clatsop county wlril unquestion ably glve-a substantial majority for Hard ing and Stanfield. Indications point to 1000 to 1500 majority for Stanfield. Voters feel Chamberlain has neglected this lo cality, that he stands for forfeiting Ameri can Independence and institutions to foreign powers and indicated by his vote on league of nations carrying article 10. C. W. H&lderman, chairman Clatsop oo unity republican central committee. Canyon City. Harding will carry Grant county by 900. fitanfleld by 200. But little Interest in measures. All will probably be defeated. P. F. Chandler, editor Blue Mountain Eagle. Eugene. Harding will carry Lane county overwhelmingly and Stanfield will receive a fair majority. Dissatisfaction with tihe democratic administration and denire for a change Is the principal issue affecting the voters. Frank Jenkins, editor Regls ter. Fossil. Harding wlW carry Wheeler county by 3TO votes. Stanfield by 340. Four per cent law will lose by 400. Anti-vaccination will lose by small majority. H. J. Simmons, editor Fossil Journal. Klamath Falls. Estimated Harding will carry Klamath county three to one or bet ter; Stanfield two to one. Registration total 64200 republican. On account of hot local issues heavy vote expected. Herald. Albany. Estimate Stanfield plurality In Llnn county at S000. E. M. Reagan, edi tor Albany Herald - Prineville. Harding will carry Crook county by about two to one votes. Stan field and Chamberlain will about break even, Guy Lafollette, editor Crook County Journal. Prineville. Estimate Harding vote 463, Cox 200, Stanfield 350, Chamberlain 250. Issues interesting voters are back of pro tective tariff and democratic waste and extravagance In conducting administration. F. A. Fessler, editor The CalL Klamath Falls. The vote for Harding and Stanfield in Klamath county will run, conservatively speaking, two to one. The underlying motive prompting these ma jorities is the stand of these' candidates and the necessity for a protective tariff coupled with the native antipathy towar. entangling ' alliances with foreign coun tries. A. L. Leavltt, chairman Klamath county central committee. Lebanon. I wish to state that the po litical situation in Lebanon and vicinity will go by a very large majority for Hard ing and Stanfield. Many republicans that have heretofore voted for Senator Cham berlain will shoot straight from the shoul der on November 2, 1920, for Mr. Stan field. Hoping that Stanfield will go over the top by at least 20,000 or more. D. Cor mier, president Harding-Coolidge cam paign club. - Harris burg. Upon inquiry among repub lican voters, I find an almost universal tendency to support the ticket straight. Republicans this year will put personal feelings in the background and vote their political convictions. From obser vations I Would say that Stanfield would run well up to the rest of the ticket here. R..W. Davis. Brownsville. I have been In the state forty years and conditions never looked better for a republican victory. We are going to elect Harding, Coolldge and Stan field. As one of the electors J expect the ballot back to Washington. Joseph Hume, i republican nominee for presidential elec- ! tor. Astoria. Harding' will carry Clatsop j county by twelve to fifteen hundred; Stan-j field by five to seven hundred. J, S. Dellingerf publisher. Astorlan.. j Heppner. Indications are Harding will carry Morrow county by - at least five hundred. Stanfield will lead Chamberlain by one hundred and fifty to two hundred. The tariff as against free trade is turn-! ing farmers and. stockman, especially the sheepmen In this country. Another and prime issue swaying voters seems to be the strong desire for a change national administration. The Gazette Times. Medford. Opinions here differ, but be lieve Harding will carry Jackson county by fifteen hundred majority and that Stan field will win by close margin possibly two hundred. A republican senate is the chief concern of the people. Delbert Fehl, editor. Record-Herald. Medford. Wilson carried Jackson county 1ST5. Harding will carry the county by 1OO0. In 1911 Chamberlain carried county by over 3000. We hope to carry for Stan field by small majority.-r-C. S. Butterfieid, ctrairman Jackson county republican cen tral committee. Medford. Harding and Coolldge will carry Jackson county. WiAson had almost 1500 plurality in 1916. Senator Jsr uncer tain. Chamberlain had over 3000 plurality six years ago. Very doubtful If he carries the county this year. Stanfield gaining every day; republicans realising It is incon sistent to vote for Chamberlain and Hard ing. Tariff, league of nations, democratic waste ana ineri.ciency are leading Issues. - Sumpter S. Smith, republican state com mitteeman. Gold Beach. Prospects In this councy for the republican ticket are fine. Hard ing and Coolidg will carry thie county about two to one, and Stanfield will have a good majority. We are doing all we can to impress on the minds oT the voters that it is as important to have a majority In congress as it is to nave the president, and I think StanfleJd's chances are getting bet ter every day, , We will do all we can for Georare M. Brown but to work for him here is easy as he can come nearer getting all. the Votes in this county than any other man In the state. Both of our county papers are repub lican and are working for the whole ticket and the democrats peem to have lost hope To Assure the Re-election of Mayor Baker Vote Only One Choice (Paid Adv.. C. C, Hlndman.) so I think we can make a good republican hewing In this county. A. 8. Miller, chairman Currr county central committee. Lebanon. There was never a better chance for the republican ticket In this section of Linn county than now. The head of the ticket will poll the full regis tered republican strength from outside ap pearance, and the senatorial campaign htas all the lnd-icatlons of a Stanfield victory. Republicans show every Indication of vot; Ing the ticket straight this -yea.r. Cham berlain is not pulling the wool over their eyes as In former years. W. C. Ie Pew, editor Criterion. Albany. Harding and Coolldge will carry Linn county by a very big majority. The vote in past national elections gen erally baa been close in this county, but there is a very strong sentiment this year in favor of the renivblican candidates. I do not know of a single republican who is not supporting the party's national ticket and I don know of several democrats who Will vote for Senator Harding. The pros pects for republican success generally in Linn county are very encouraging. Wil ls rd L. Marks, republican state committee man from Linn county. ' Albany. Prospects are good for a com-i plete republican victory in Linn county Everywhere you hear people aay that this la the year when party lines should be strictly drawn and that they are going to vote for principles and not for th man. Harding and Coolldge will carry the county approximately two to one and while the real contest is for United States senator, the chances are very strong that Stanfield will carry the county. D. H. Bodine. Leila Mitchell, chairman and secretary of the Linn county republican central committee. Lebanon. Harding and Coolldge will carry Linn county by a large majority, larger than any president ever before re ceived." While Chamberlain la usually strong In Linn county, he will not get the vote In eastern Linn county which he has been accustomed, to receive. The repub lican are more inclined thia year to stay with their ticket and vote it straight and a considerable number of democrats are not supporting him in this election. N. M. Newport. Lebanon. My opinion as to the forecast of the coming election of Lebanon's three precincts is Harding will have nearly two to one over Cox. Stanfield will surely lead Chamberlain here, but republicans here will surely vote their ticket this Novem ber. Lebanon has more stanfield money than Chamberlain here on the general out come. The republicans are all confident, but still doing their work. J. O. Booth. Brownsville. I firmly believe that the state will go from 80,000 to 100,000 for Harding. . The tide Is turning everywhere for Stanfield. The people now as never before realize the necessity of Bending re publicans to congress. Stanfield will carry the state by at least 40.000. W. J. She'.ton. D. M. D. Brownsville. It Is my candid opinion that Brownsville and vicinity will .go re publican by a large majority. We expect It to go strong for Stanfield. Colonel A. W. Lawson. Albany. Harding will win Linn county, two to one. Electors admire and respect him' for the campaign he has made, and disapprove and condemn the Cox cam paign. Harding has shown dignity, poise and statesmanship. C:ox has exhibited weakness. irresponsibility and untrust worthiness. L. M. Curl. Albany. The best indication of a re publican landslide is the fact that vou do not hear , the old-time political dis cussions on the street corner. Few demo crats feel like defending the present ad ministration. Fathers and mothers are not advising their first voters to ratify the Wilson (one man power) by electing Mr. Cox. From close observation I think Linn county will poll the largest republican majority in- its history. F. M. French. Albany. Linn county trill roll up a large majority for Harding and Coolldge. The vote on senator promises to be close with Stanfield running much stronger than any former opponent of Chamberlain. E. IX Cuslck, former state senator. Brownsville. I have been a resident of Oregon for fifteen years and am fully confident that Harding will go in with the largest majority that we have had in many years. I am confident that Stanfield will go in with a large majority also, for every republican I meet says we must vote for Stanfield. EJ. B. White, mayor. FIXAIj instructions issued Perkins Says His Promise of Sites for Campers Made Hit. . With an expression of confidence in his election. T. L. Perkins, candidate for city commissioner, issued final in structions to his committee workers at a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce building, and) announced he was ready for the verdict of the voters of Portland in the municipal election tomorrow. Straws ballots and expressions of various neighborhood meetings which have been addressed by Or. Perkins and his supporters' during; the past week, were glowing indications of his success. Dr. Perkins said last night. "I will wind up my camDaicn Mon day night, and I honestly believe I will be elected by a substantial vote," Dr. Perkins announced in & final statement yesterday. "Day after day the reports of my campaign commit tee have been more encouraging, and I am absolutely certain of victory. "My promise to the people of Port land that I will at once set to work to obtain suitable camping sites and facilities for automobile tourists in Portland has made a deep impression in every part of the city. , Likewise, my past record both as state senator and as city commissioner for the short term, has Inspired the people with a confidence in me.

That the republican majority lh the lower house of congress will b' In creased as the result of tomorrow's election and that he himself will be returned, by a big vote, was the pre diction made by Representative Mc Arthur last night Mr. McArthur has conducted an ac tive speaking campaign, extending over a period of four weeks and to clung all sections of Multnomah county, and has come in contact w'th thousands of his constituents who have assured him of their intention to support the straight republican ticket. Seven Vacancies In House. "Indications point to an increased republican majority in the house," said Mr. McArthur. "The present membership consists of 2S4 republic ans, 190 democrats, one independent, two independent republicans and one prohibitionist. There are seven va cancies on account of deaths and resignations. Republicans will make a net gain of 10 to 15 seats and will, have a majority of 60 to 70 members in the next congress. "1 am more than satisfied with the condition of my own campaign and expect to be re-elected by the largest majority ever given a candidate for congress In this district Women for McArthur. "The county organisation and the various women's political clubs have worked -tirelessly in my behalf, as have hundreds of individuals. "The campaign of petty slander and personal abuse that has been waged against me by the so-called Oregon Popular Government league has re acted in my favor and will have the effect of increasing my majority. This has been the meanest and most contemptible campaign in the history of the district, but the people will not be fooled by the dust clouds of the opposition. Rivals Favor Debs. "One of the moving spirits in the Oregon Popular Government league has proclaimed his intention of voting for Eugene V. Debs for president, so it is not surprising to note the char acter of campaign being waged by that organization. "Hundreds of democrats and Inde pendents have assured me of theii support because they approve of my record in congress and also because of the dirty fight that has been waged against me. "The election of Harding and Cool idge is a foregone conclusion, but the fight for control of the senate promises to be close." Speaker Lauds McArtnur. Mr. McArthur's standing in the house was attested by Speaker Fred erick II. XJillett In a telegram re ceived by Chairman John L. Day of the republican county central com mittee yesterday.

These charges are so thoroughly false that I cannot allow them to go unchallenged. Mc Arthur is not only one of the most industrious and wide-awake mem bers of the house, but he is also a legislator of sound judgment and un bounded .courage and a parliamen tarian of more than ordinary ability.
