NEW YORK, Nov. 1. (Special.) I
I The most interesting feature of
he present state campaign is that
he observant leaders, on both sides,
tre privately afraid that defeat is j
heir portion. And this at a time !
vhen the battle is nearly over, and j
he arguments of the nominees have j
jeen presented o the voters at i
;reat length.
One of the ahlest of the repub-
ican spellbinder was in town the i
ther day. taking a brief rest. This
ndividual is an ardent admirer of
Mathan L. Miller, and earnestly de-
ires to see him re-elected. But
n course of a private conversation
iie said:
"We have a clean, able candidate,
i record of business efficiency, and
-hould win hands down. I'm afraid,
: feugh, that we are doomed to lose,
in the 20 years I have been cam
paigning never have I seen voters
larking in Interest. They turn
out iir good numbers when Miller
peaks, but it seems to, be just curi-
Sositv. a desire to look him over
There's no cheering ho pep. People
imply don't seem to care who is

Corner Store Sesnions Vanish.
"This condition is particularly in
viilpnc.fi in the rural districts.
Were the vote is normally over-
elmingly republican, iocai leau
i tell us that the 'corner store
nforences.' usually a feature of
untry life, have practically been
andoned. The republicans nave
ne to sleep, and they won't wake
p until election night, when they
will find that Smith has carriea
he state, not because of his popu
aritv. but because the G. O. P. had
forgotten how to fight."
That's one side or the case. .o

r. readv to bet on any and every
proposition that comes along. Bill
s a life long adherent or xammany

has to say:
I'm voting for 'Al, ol course, dux
I'm not betting one cent. Al is

"Yes, we could have won this

learst and Hylan after this is all
over.
New York has a peculiar system
of registration. In towns and cities
vith 5000 population or more, voters
ire required to enroll on certain
ipecified days in October, if they
lesire to cast their ballots in No
vember. In the rural sections
names are carried over .from year
to year without personal appear
ance, wnicn means tnat tne country
egistration is always 100 per cent.
Registration on Decline.
The total registration in New
York city this year was l,180.d8o.
a falling off of 83,168 over last year
when a mayor was elected. The up-
tate registration (towns and cities)
s approximately 700,000, while the
rural district, normally 80 per cent
republican, will contribute 700,000
nore.
With these figures as a basis sta
tisticians of both parties have no
trouble whatsoever in figuring out
majority for Miller and Smith.
Here Is the republican contention.
The falling off in the heavily
democratic city means a drop in
the down state Smith majority. In
ities upstate which the democrats
carried last year for the first time,
he slump in the number of votes
means a democratic loss. And the
country districts can be relied upon
to vote for Miller because they are
naturally republican, and besides
the voters hate Tammany hall and
all it represents.
As to the democrats, they figure
that the loss in the city is made up
Sof republicans who are too dis-
Kusted with their party to take the
trouble to vote, and lay stress on
the old political theory that demo
crats in New York always register.
while republicans have to be
prodded before they do their duty.
Also the upstate town and city reg
istration that pleases the repub
licans become a source of reioic-
ing to the democrats.
Farmers Prefer Miller.
The plain fact of the matter, how
ever, is that neither side knows
where it is at, and while hoping
for the beRt, fears for the worst.
The indications are that it rests
with the unregistered country vote.
If the .farmers are interested, or
can be compelled to show interest,
Miner win be elected, for thev nn.
fer him to Smith. But if there's bad
weather upstate on election day, or
the district captains loaf on the
job. Smith will win out.
L-orporation Counsel n'Bri.n
democratic nominee for surrogate'
probably with the best intentions
in the world, threw a. monkey
wrench into 'the Smith rammi
machine the other day. O'Brien at
a meeting, asked the voters to de
'eat Miller, because "if elected, Mil
iar will remove Mayor Hylan."
The dangerous nature of this ap
eal lies in the fact that there are
iiousands of city republicans who
lad intended to vote for Smith, al
though they hate and detest Mayor
Hylan. Hizzonor and his adminis
tration have just trotted out th
city budget, with an increase of
$11,000,000 over the budget of the
year before, and any prosnect of
retiring Hylan from public life is
most pleasing to overtaxed tax
payers.
It is a certainty 'that Smith will I
not oust Hylan, no matter what
he may .do. Now then, although j
itnte official! receive checks amounting to f 12.2,066.82.
Frank S. Sever, chief deputy state
I'lnaey. insurance men, and John
of banks.
Regardless of how the State Bank pays out, the state of Oregon will
lose nothing. This was assured yesterday by the payment of $122,056.82
by insurance companies who had furnished bonds for Olof Hoff, state
treasurer, on his state deposits in the state bank.' The state of Oregon
had $150,000 on deposit in the State Bank prior to its failure. Surety
bonds amounting to $175,000 had been obtained to protect this deposit.
The state was paid $30,000 on its, deposit by the State Bank on Sep
tember 16.
Yesterday the Fidelity & Deposit company of Maryland and the Hart
ford Accident. & Indemnity company paid the state $122,056.82, the former
company paying $87, 183.50 and the latter $34,871.51. R. E. Pinney, vice
president of the Fidelity : & Deposit company, presented his company's
check, while Harvey Wells represented the Hartford company.
Miller has made no promises,
O'Brien makes one for him. As a
result the republican sweep to
Smith has 'ceased, and a backward
tendency is noticeable. The mayor's
administration has come in for
many hard knocks of late, some of
his relatives and other subordinates
have been involved in scandals, and
it is almost time for charges to be
preferred against him. With Smith
on guard at Albany, Hylan undoubt
edly could laugh at his accusers, but
Governor Miller would be a differ
ent proposition. Hence it is very
apparent that Smith will lose quite
a number of votes that he might
find valuable on election day.
Remarks Thought Inspired.
Corporation counsel O'Brien is
one of Mayor Hylan's official fam
ily, and some of trie loyal Smith
men think that his remarks were
"inspired." They didn't help Smith
with the regular democrats, for
they would be bound to vote for
"Al" anyhow, but the speech was an
excellent argument against repub
lican support of Smith. And with
Hylan as lukewarm as everyone
knows he is, it is rather peculiar
that this blow to Smith should come
from one of the mayor's "inner
circ;?," In consequence many of
the fanatical Smithites are pri
vately declaring that they will get
even by "knifing' Dr. Roya! Cope
land, Hylan's health commissioner,
senator, and Commissioner of Cor- 1
rections James A. Hamilton, on the
ticket for secretary of state,.
Smith Predicts Victury.
'Al" Smith publicly announces
that he will be elected. Governor
Miller states (also for publication),
that . he will be victorious. The
minor candidates take their cne
from the heads of their tickets, and
laim everything in sight.
The p'.ain honest truth is that
there is an utter lack of confidence
all around. The voters had to be j
they refuse to attend mass meet- j
Ings. they decline to join political ,
clubs, ignore requests for campaign
funds, and do not even talk politics
on the street corners. -
It is a period of apathy, and the
only unsolved question is will
Miller benefit by it, or will Smithf
As nobody clearly knows the an
swer at present, that is perhaps
why there is very little betting, and
practically all of it on an even
basis.

4000 IN ESSAY CONTEST
i (
Portland Pupils Are Attracted to
Exposition Competition.
Reports received from the princi
pals of the various grade schools of
Portland indicate that about 4000
pupils of the seventh and eighth
grades participated in the 1927 ex
position essay contest that has been
in progress for the last two weeks
and which closed Tuesday evening.
Interest, it is said, was not con
fined wholly to the pupils of those
grades, but in many instances the
entire school was aroused and the
attention of other students directed
to the contest. In some high school
classes articles on the exposition
were written and read as class ex
ercises. Teachers now are engaged In go
ing over the manuscripts and se
lecting the best, which will be
placed in the hands of the awarding
committee chosen by the women of
the exposition board who have the
matter in charge.
Teachers are urged to send the
essays to exposition headquarters,
407 Plttock block, or to Superintend
ent Grout by this evening if pos
sible. FAIR HELD AID TO LABOR
Message In Support of Exposition
Written by Mr. Hartwig.
Great benefit will come to the
workers of Oregon through the 1927
exposition, says Otto Hartwig pres
ident of the State Federation of
Labor, in a message sent out from
labor headquarters yesterday. In
his message he says:
"Labor has much to gain from the
holding of the exposition in 1927,
both from what might be" termed a
selfish and also an unselfish point
of view First it means increased
and steady employment for at least
the next five years for the-workers
who already are here. This will ease
the minds of many fathers and
mothers as to how they will make
both ends meet and provide food
shelter, etc.. for their broods of
little ones. And when labor : is
steadily and satisfactorily employed
the whole community does well be

TRIO TO BE SENTENCED BY
U. S. JUDGE TOMORROW.
.Efforts of Charles Bosler and
Carl Kleinsmith to Save
Pal Are Failure.
Despite the efforts of Charles
Bosler and Carl Kleinsmith, con
fessed yeggmen, to clear a partner
in crime, they, with Alfred Steffens,
were found guilty by a ju-y in the
federal court yesterday of attempt
ing to enter a United States pos
tal sub-station at East Thirty-ninth
street and Hawthorne avenue. Sen
tence will be passed on the trio
tomorrow. The crime carries a
maximum sentence of five years
imprisonment.
Bosler is one of the best-known
youths of Portland from the po
lice standpoint. He has been ar
rested on a number of occasions for
a number of various offenses. Ac
cording to police officials he is an
ambitious youth; he has aspirations
to be a good yeggman, but lacks
practice. Both Kleinsmith and
Steffens are graduates of reform
schools, the former of the Oregon
institution and the latter .of the
school at Monroe, Wash.
The trio was caught in the act
of attempting to pick a lock on the
drug store which houses the sub
station last July. A policeman cap

I.inn Bars Heavy Loads.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.)
Vehicles and loads weighing over
4000 pounds have been barred from
the roads of Linn county by order
of the county court. Notices were
placed today. Rainy weather, which
has softened some of the roadways
of the county, is responsible. "The
county court cannot afford to build
roads to have them all cut up and
ruined by heavy hauling," said a
member of the court in .explaining
the order, which will limit traffic
on the majority of the unpaved
roads of the county. The 4000
pounds includes load and vehicle.
District patrolmen have been sup
plied with the notices and when a
road, in their judgment, becomes en
dangered, the notices will be posted.

The resignation, though signed last

During the time the resignation

that the attorney had the widow

Each foot is composed of 26 small
bones arranged In arched positions,
held together by muscles and liga
ments and intended by nature to
remain resilient so that your body
weight will be cushioned and shocks
of walking be absorbed by this
springy formation of your feet.
In other words, nature indicates
that your shoes should be springy
not rigid at the main (longitudinal)
arch. Cantilever Shoes are so mads
flexible and natural instead of
concealing a metal "shank piece"
as do all ordinary shoes.
THE P.ESILIENT ARCH.
This explains why Cantilevers are
such delightful shoes for walking.
They give you that springy, "peppy"
feeling which is typical of youh.
Come and see how stylish they are
in addition to their comfort. We
are exclusive Cantilever agents for
this district.
