EUGEXE CONTEST IS UVELY Mayor Peterson and II. E. Slattery I Make Campaign Hot. EUGENE, Or, Nov. 1. (Special.) flTbe municipal election campaign in JOugene has been transformed from one of the quietest for many years Into a very lively contest for the mayoralty. C. O. Peterson, mayor for the past four ' years, is running against Henry E. Slattery, an attor ney. Mr. Peterson is backed almost BOlidly by the business men of the city, but Mr. Slattery has developed Ypast two weeks, and in some quarters f betting is in his favor. Religious affiliations of the two Candidates have entered into the con test. The opponents of Mayor Peter son have accused him of playing into the hands of the Catholic church, while Mr. Slattery is admittedly a strong Orangeman. Mayor Peterson Issued a statement that the only Catholic appointed by him during his term was Chief of Police Chrietensen. who was first appointed to the posi tion eight or ten years ago by a former mayor. His statement shows that all other appointees are mem bers of or favorable to Protestant churches. There is no contest for the offices of city recorder or treasurer. Alta King and Fred Wentworth, incum bents, have filed for re-election. There is only one candidate for city councilman in each ward. They are Dean Walker, 1st ward; F. N. McAl lster, 2d ward; S. R. Mosher. 3d ward, and Rev. A. M. Spangler, 4th ward. COAST SLATED FOR HARDING Roosevelt's Majority May Be Sur passed Say Observers. "From reports Just received from republican national committee head quarters in New York and Chicago, It is almost a certSinty that Harding and Coolidge will be elected by the largest majority ever given a candi date for president, except possibly the majority given Theodore Roose velt over Judge Parker," said R. E. Williams, republican" national committeeman. The fact that women vote in all ttie states this year, might make the Harding and Coolidge plurality greater than the vote given to Jtoosevelt. I feel sure that Harding and Coolidge will carry California, Colorado. Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts. Michigan, Min nesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey. New York, North Dakota, Ohio. Oregon. Pennsylvania. Rhode Island. South Dakota. Utah, Vermont, West Virginia. Wisconsin, Washing ton and Wyoming, which will give them 336 electoral votes, and the following states to Cox and Roose velt: Alabama. Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana. Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma. Bouth Carolina, Tennessee. Texas and Virginia, totaling 139 electoral votes, which leaves the following states as doubtful: Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Arizona, Maryland -and Kentucky, totaling 49 votes. I feel sure that Harding and Coolidge will carry five of these, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Arizona and Maryland, leaving Ken tucky very doubtful."

Tariff on 2 69 Commodities De creased, 130 Increased; Tacoma, Seattle Represented at Meeting. Portland manufacturers and jobbers expressed theruselves as satisfied with the reclassification plans pro jected for docket No. 4, which involves a decrease In transportation rates on 269 commodities and an increase on 130. as explained yesterday morning by R. C. Fyfe of Chicago, chairman of the western classification committee. Fyfo discussed classification prob lems with a group of representative shippers at the headquarters of the Portland Traffic and Transportation association. In- the group were J. W. McCune, secretary of the Tacoma transportation bureau of the Tacoma chamber of commerce, and J. D. Mans field, traffic commissioner of the Seat tle chamber of commerce. The con ference yesterday is the last to be held in the west, and followed confer ences at various eastern points and at San Francisco. On the general subject of rate re vision, Fyfe pointed out that any changes that are made must be made slowly and gradually so that no seri ous transportation disturbances will ensue.

HARVEY BHECK The League of Nations Ticket l :.v;sr C irv. "v.. m mmm Thomas A. Hayes For U. S. Senator They are for the League . of Nations without the Lodge nullifying reserva tions, which President Wilson said "cut the heart out of the treaty"; and which the New York World says "blots it all over with cowardice, treachery and falsehood." Senator Chamberlain vot ed with Lodge, and during the entire debate never spoke on behalf of the League of Nations. ....aaaaaiftaaa James M. Cox For President At Youngstown, Ohio, October 29, Governor Cox said: "If there was a Democratic candidate against the League, I'd not only vote against him, but I'd make speeches against him. Mr. Stanfield stands with Senator Harding, therefore all friends of the League should vote for HAYES for U. S. SENATOR (Paid Advertisement by League of Nations Ratification Committee, J. D. Brown, Chairman. 1007 Broadway.) would probably be put into effect "be tween seasons," so that the change would disturb the trade as little as possible, he said. The proposed reclassifications would increase rates on articles which are light In weight but of high relative value, such as canned fruit, coffee, condensed food products, spices and molasses, and would lower the freight rates on bulky articles of merchandise such as agricultural implements, elec trical appliances, chemicals, cheese, and a long list of manufactured prod ucts which are heavy in weight but of less proportionate value. Fyfe left, for Chicago last night, where other classification conferences are scheduled. While the reclassifi cation plans have been tentatively approved in the various conferences to date, it is felt that the proposed changes will not be made in the near future, due to the opposition to any sudden changes in the existing schedules. .
