THE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1922 LODGE CUSIBEED SURE TO BE VICTOR Democratic Plans in Massa chusetts Wrecked. RIVAL IS ANTI-WILSON Outstanding Irony of Present Po litical Year Is Pointed Out by Mark Sullivan. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright, 1922. by New York Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 9. (Special.) -As things stand, lour weeks and a day before the election, put it down that Henry Cabot Lodge is going back to the senate from Massachu setts. Put it down also as the out standing irony of the present pol litical year in the United States that the man whom the democrats aTe running against Lodgre is a man who voted against Woodrow Wilson in 1916. The whole theory of the demo cratic fisht, to take revenue on Lodge for the way Lodge acted to ward Wilson, has pone to nothing:. For the nearly four years since thei time when Lodge began his bedevil ling: of Wilson, and his fight against the league of. nations, the Wilson democratic leaders in the nation and the league cf nations people every where nursed the thought that this coming election, in Massachusetts would be "the (Jay" when they would have their revenge. But all that has collated. Whole Programme Fails. All the plaus to put forward against Lodge some ardent cham pion of the league of nations, to ge-t the support of Wilson friends be hind him, to bring James Cox into the state to denounce Lodge as the sordid enemy of the league of na tions and of all idealism, the whole plan to make the fight on Lodge a great democratic effort and the principal national political event of the year all that programme has failed step by gtep. This Massachusetts fight was to be the vindication and cononization of Wilson. All the Wilson zealots in the country were going to help. To persons who( looked forward to this, kind of an issue, the actual fight, as it has developed, has little appeal. In fact, the ardent Wilson partisans are more than indifferent. They are embittered and sullen. The man who got the democratic nomination against Lodge voted against Wilson in 1916. The league of nations, Wilson, our foreign re lations generally none of these things are issues in the campaign. The democrats will put up a con - siderable fight; but it will be wholly different and much less ap pealing than they originally planned. Gaston to Run Well. The democratic candidate, Will iam A. Gaston, is a barrker who stands high in his state, but he offers no contrast to Lodge of a sort that would appeal to the Wil son league of nations idealists. Gas ton will make a good fight and while Lodge, as things stand today, is by every evidence clearly clearly and strongly in the lead, he will hardly be allowed to have a walk over. Gaston is an energetic and re sourceful man, and his heart is set on the senatorship. Although in the present fight he is th.e victim of animosities stirred up in the recent campaign and is not the favorite of the dominant element in such or ganization as the democrats have nevertheless he has a considerable democratic following of his own jsd is the beneficiary of the grati tude of the party workers for occa sions in the past when he has stood by the party and at times led it himself during periods of ad versity. He is a wealthy man, and the democrats this year will prob ably .have what is for them the un usual experience of having more funds than the republicans. Republican Organization Good. But Gaston's only chance lies in some extraordinary development not now to be foreseen, arising out of such new basis of campaign as the democrats may devise after the wreck of the original programme. All that the democrats can do in -the way of organization will be of an emergency nature, improvised out of the almost complete chaos into which the democratic party in Massachusetts fell two weeks ago. The republicans, on the other - hand, have a thoroughly compact organization, with the prestige of victory behind them. Moreover, the republicans are confident and en thusiastic over the idea of scoring a success in the eyes of the nation by sending Lodge back to the sen ate. The republican convention which nominated Lodge was not conspicuous for its enthusiasm. The democratic primary compaign, in which Gaston fought hard for the nomination against two others al most equally strong, was conspicu ous for lack of enthusiasm, and left a good many scars in the shape of libel suits and bitter resentments. Little Interest Is Taken. Important factions among the democrats are indifferent to Gaston, or more than indifferent. Even some of the leading democratic and independent newspapers, which might have been counted on to rush to the opportunity of defending Lodge, are either indifferent or else disposed to support Lodge. Many persons who don't approve of Lodge and who look forward, as the democratic national leaders did, to taking enthusiastic part in a fight against him, now take little interest in the campaign. Further more, Lodge is helped by a senti ment in the state whiciyhas got its back up against the heathen beyond its borders who have been saying savage things about their senator; against those democratic senators from what Massachusetts regards as the uncouth wilds of Arkansas and Mississippi and against all other outlanders, from ex-President Wil son and. Mr. Cox down who have been saying what ought to be done to Senator Lodge and what they were going to do to him. This section of Massachusetts sen timent proposes to show the world that it knows exactly what it wants, and is going to do its own choosing. They are not going to have it said that the man whom Massochusetts has been sending to Washington for some 40 years is an undesirable sen ator. This state of feeling, which is a definite and important factor in the campaign, takes little or no account of the tariff, bonus, pro hibition, foreign affairs or any other issue. The lack of any heated dis cussion of issues is conspicuous. Mas sachusetts does not particularly like the tariff, but there Is littie or no talk about it. Both Lodge and his .opponent, Gaston, axe lor the bonus. Gaston, although a banker, is for even a bigger and better bonus than Lodge. But this sort of thing is not dis ! cussed. The only thing brought for ward as seriously likely to hurt T.njfr, a-nA the reniihliratlfl is the possibility of cold weather on elec tion day coupled with no coal, and those who have charge of the coal distribution in the country tell me that by November 1 the coal scarcity will not be severe. Out of all this Senator Lodge in his public appearance in his native state looks very chipper and carries his 72 years with what is, even for him, exceptional nattiness and con fidence. If you have disciplined yourself into looking at politics wholly as an observer you would have got an amusing emotion of see ing, at the Brockton fair one day last week. Senator Lodge and Vice President Coolidge, both high hatted and both black-coated, mingling genially among the pumpkins and the prize cattle, but preserving that slightly remote air of distinguished, silk-hatted aloofness which Massa chusetts prefers in its-public char acters. ROBBERY LAID TO FOUR 2 MEN, 2 WOMEJT JAILED AND $240 RECOVERED. Arrests Follow laborer's Com plaint to Police of Being 'Rolled' Fol lowing Party.' F. J. Adams, itinerant laborer, reported to the police Monday that he had been "rolled" of 240 Sunday night by two men and two women. Last night inspectors had Adams in jail as a material witness, his 240 for evidence and the four in jail charged with larceny. They are Addell Scott, alias Tiny Booth, dressmaker at 253 M Washington street; Louis Schildt, prize fight follower; Genevieve Kenney, 18, and Roy Thomas, brakeman. Adams told, police that the brake man sold him a bottle of whisky and introduced him to the Scott woman on the train en route from Hood River to Portland. He said he went to her apartment with her, and that later Thomas and the other woman arjjyed. - They had a party, following which he and Thomas went to the north end, where they were, joined by Schildt. Before the party was over Adams was minus his watch as well as the money. Schildt, police said, turned over to them J100, admitting that it was Adams' money. Thomas had the same sum. Each man had given one of the women ?20, which they turned over to police. The women said they did not know, until they ware questioned by police, that the money had been stolen. GIRL IS BURNED ALIVE Confession of Kevolting' Crime Is Made by Nova Scotia Guide. HALIFAX, N. S. Confession that he burned alive pretty 19-year-old Flora Gray after she had success fully repulsed his advances' in her bedroom in the dead of night was made today by Omar P. Roberts, 68, guide and proprietor of a hunting lodge. Koberts was carried into court, his feet having ben badly burned by the flames which destroyed Miss Gray. Preliminary hearing of what is declared the most fiendis-h crime of Nova Scotia history was held behind locked doors because of the revolting details of the attack and murder. Plea of guilty, without counsel and a complete confession, was of fered by Robert, according to the authorities. The guide, who had testimonials from leading clerymen and sports men throughout the United States, certifying to his good character and the -comfort of his lodge and camps, declared he committed the murder on the night of August 28. He told his story to a jailer in his cell. Flora Gray, he said, .was house keeper at his lodge, Riverside house, at North Kemptville. Pretty, less than a third his age, shej attracted him overpoweringly. He proposed marriage but she scoffed at the idea. "She loved the hired man, Ran some Randall," Roberts told the jailer. "I had a good home to give her but I didn't blame her so much." According to his confession, the old guide went to Flora's bedroom late at night. He declared his "in tentions were evil." They failed. "I did what I did then because of jealousy," Roberts said. He told of strapping the girl in her bedcloth ing till she was powerless to move and of pouring gasoline over her. He said he then set fire to the girl with a match. Then he drove to a neighboring house and gave the alarm of fire. Ransom Randall, the hired man, rushed to the scene. He and Avery Gray, a relative of the victim, went to Flora's room, beating their way in through the flames. In a corner, under a mattress, lay .her charred body. One report was that she was alive, although burned from head to foot, and that she was able to whisper the name of her assailant. Roberts, in another part of hs confession, said Flora struggled as he poured gasoline over her and that he spilled some on hia own feet. The flames that enveloped th girl leaped to his moccasins and leggings as he fled. FAILURE HELD FRAUD Cuban Banking House Heads Will Be Prosecuted. HAVANA. Attention has' been called again to an interesting report first circulated last May when the German-Cuban banking house of H Upmann & Co. closed its doors, by the provisional conclusions formu lated by Fausto Alfonso, prosecut ing attorney, against H. Upmann for alleged fraudulent failure. , The states attorney says Mrs. Maria Teresa Bances de Marti 1s not included in the list of thos clients of the bank to whom reparation should be made, since she received, before the bank went under control of the federal bank liquidation com mission, $130,000 in jewels and money. It was reported in May that Mrs. Bances, when first she heard that the Upmann bank was in trouble, went to the Upmann home and by some means or other the stories vary in this-partlcular secured vir tually all the famous diamonds of the banker's wife to guarantee her account. Both are members of two of Cuba's most noted families. Another feature of the public prosecutor's findings is the heavy sentence asked for H. " Upmann, totaling 26 H years of correctional imprisonment on nine charges of embezzlement and the payment of an Indemnity of $1,547,262.50 to those he is alleged to have defrauded. No date for the Upmann trial yet has been set. Phone your want ads to The Ore gonian.

Tooze Jr. Give Addresses. When the republican county cen tral committee convened Monday night at library hall, it entertained certain eminent members of the party and they in turn entertained it. by addresses -replete with aa monitions to suDnort the party and its principles, and predictions of sweeping success at the November election. The enunciation ef such views never failed to elicit genuine storms of applause, 'but the appear ance of Governor Olcott brougnt tne committee members and casual spec- ta.t.ora to their feet in tribute. , Governor Olcott did not make a political speech. In rather diffident, humorous manner he greeted them as friends, deplored the fact that he had been so busied with executive duties that his participation in the campaign, up to the present, nan been negligible, but assured su within hearing that he was watch inr with intense interest the strenu ous and high-spirited progress of Candidate Gump, the 100 per cent American whose boast is that he is collarless. Then the governor, pro. facine the significant statement by a plea that in a moment he must catch a. -train for Salem, sale mat henceforth folk would know tnat ne was in the lists. 9 Active Campaign Pledged. "From this time on." Governor Olcott pledged himeelf, "I am going to take an active part in the cam paisn to the end that success may attend the republican ticket in No vember. I tiave no message for you now." said the governor, ' but I shall have rather an important one when next I sneak before you. Representative McArthur, jaw thrust forward and shoulders squared, received an ovation equally vociferous, and for ten lively min utes upheld the standard and defied party detractors. Mr. McArtnur re minded his hearers that primary election returns in the various states had in no sense been rebukes of the national administration which had definitely declined to concern itself with the success or defeat of candidates in these party elimination contests, and that ' in the main the approval given to con gressional candidates for renomina tion had proved the confidence of their constituencies. The results, he said, were a complete refutation of .the "shallow writing" of the riamruraiir nrPKH Both Ralph William national committeeman, and 'Walter jU Tooze Jr., state chairman, stressed the necessity of complete party co operation, the latter asserting that party controversy is settled at the primaries and that thereafter the duty of republicans is to further the success of all candidates "from Governor Olcott to Dow Walkerl" "Republicans have less excuse this year,"' said Chairman Tooze, "for bolting the party than they have had in years gone by. There is no reason why they should not stana by the primary nominees with- a united front in November. If we have any differences of opinion in the party the logical plaae to, settle them is in the primary." Governor Is Commended. . "Vigorously commending Gover nor Olcott's candidacy the speaker tossed a barb in the general direc tion of Walter M. Pierce, the demo cratic gubernatorial nominee, as serting that he had attempted to make political capital of the market roads bill, which bears his name, but which, i ke the cheeild in the meller drama, has, alas, another daddy.- "The market roads bill," exclaimed Chairman Tooze, "bears his name simply because he begged the com mittee, with tears in his eyes, in that winning way he has, to let him have something to show when he get back to Union county!" Summing up the prospects for No vember and urging that harmony and brotherhood should be the twin shibboleths of republicanism, the slate chairman succinctly con cluded: "If the republicans stay by the ticket we don't care what the democrats do!" A roar of approval answered this philosophy. The meeting was presided over by W. E. Eddj, county chairman, who introduced the several speakers and vied with them in expressions of re publican fealty and reminders of the importance, to the nation, of Oregon retaining her eminence as a republican state in all particulars. MONEY IS WELL SPENT County Aid to Dependents and Delinquents True Economy. WASHINGTON, D. C. County of ficers in many states are finding it sound economy to make appropria tions for local care of dependent, de fective or delinquent children, rather than to allow this work to be carried on by individuals or other private groups, according to a re port by the children's bureau of the United States department of labor. Administration of care for neg lected, handicapped or delinquent children by local boards of citizens, employing trained workers aided by state boards, is, according to the summary, the plan which is gaining approval in a constantly Increasing number of states. .

Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina and Virginia, while individual coun ties, private agencies or state boards in Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina are working out similar plans without special .legislative ac tion. County organization concerned mainly with the care of dependent children is found in Arizona, Indi ana, New Tork and Ohio. In the past, the report said, the development of preventive and constructive activities for children in rural sections usually depended on the willingness of some private individual or group to assume the financial obligations. The recent rapid growth of county welfare work has come about largely as a result of the development of state wide plans, but a local organization is usually put into effect only after the county has indicated a desire for it. While it was found that plans are not alike in any two states because of variations in local conditions, the "basic principles are in agreement." The general tendency is in the di rection of broad, co-ordinated pro grammes, according to the report. STANFORD STILL SILENT COURSE NOT TO BE KNOWN UNTIL BOARD MEETS. Some Say University Will Resign While Others Aver Rebnke Will Be Accepted. . SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9. (Spe cial.) Any announcement as to what will be the attitude of Stan ford with reference to. the public reprimand ordered by a vote of the Pacific Coast conference in Port land last Saturday will be unauthor ized until such time as the Stan ford board of control holds a meet ing, which will likely be the latter part of the week. Divers state ments have been made. One is to the effect that Stanford will resign from the conference. The other is .diametrically op posed, with the assertion that Stan ford will accept the reprimand and not resign. A prominent member of the Stan ford board of control, who refused to permit his name to be used, made this assertion: "I can only guess what Stanford will do. But if I were guessing I wpuld say that Stanford will tender her resignation to the .conference." As a matter of fact, Stanford is awaiting a full report from Stewart Fisher, Stanford man, who repre sented Stanford at the conference, though he did nottyiave a vote. As soon as that report reaches Stanford a meeting of the board of control will "be held. Just what the conference has done with reference to the east versus west game and Pasajlena remains to be discovered. No announcement has been made as yet to the press, but it is considered likely that ne gotiations with Pasadena are being continued. Pasadena has the .only stadium outside of Stanford that would be large enough to accommo date the crowd and bring in a gate, and Pasadena will unquestionably be selected. Lute Nichols, graduate manager at California, who was present at the Portland conference, has not re turned from the north, but is ex pected tomorrow morning. He will doubtless be able to throw some light on the situation unless the conference pursues its usual course of secrecy.
