8. THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. XOVE3IBER I. BEVERIDGE'SDRIVE m Indianians Rally to Support of Senate Aspirant. REMOTE PARTS VISITED Own Campaign Is Conducted and No Appeal Is Made to National Committee for Help. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU , Washington, D. C, Nov. 2. To na tional republican leaders Indiana is just now the brightest epot on the political map. The reason Is Albert Jeremiah Beveridge. Beveridge has shown a capacity for handling his own campaign for the senate that is nothing short of a revelation. He has gone out into the most remote precincts of the state to talk to the voters and the plain Hoosier folk are rallying to his support with a fervor that savors of the campmeeting. Though atop of 60 years, his fellow Indianians are fond still of referring to him as "Young Beveridge," Just as they did 30 years ago when he went out on the platform from De Pauw uni versity carrying all of the medals for oratory. Not a single appeal has come to the national or senatorial commit tee from Mr. Beveridge for help. He is going out personally to bag a senatorship, with Senator Jim Wat son coming along behind "whoop- lng her up" for Harding and telling the people that they are doing right by getting In line for "Bev." z as The result is that a contest which a few weeks ago appeared a tossup. With the democrats making all the claims, looks like a sure republican victory with the size of the majority the only question to be settled at the polls. Some predictions say the margin will be as high as 80,000 and that Beveridge not only" is win ning for himself, but by his bril liant campaign is pulling through several republican members of" the lower house of congress, who at the outstart seemed doomed to certain defeat. The big issue pressed to the fore in New Jersey and California, suc cinctly stated, is, "Shall a fellow be allowed a glass of real beer with his airdale sandwich?" The only difference is that in New Jersey, a great industrial state which pro duces much beer, only beer is men tioned to any extent, while in Cal ifornia, which produces thousands of tons of w ine grapes, there is a demand for the return of wines as well as beer. Governor Edward I. Edwards, democrat, has the wet end of the New Jersey contest for United States senator against Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, republican. New Jer sey democrats are engaged in try ing to prove that Senator Freling huysen, dry, has one of the richest wine cellars in Washington, while some California republicans seek to show that W. J. Pearson, democrat and dry, opposed to Hiram .Johnson for the senate, possesses a stock of liquors second to none in Los Angeles. A memorandum on the police blotter of Los Angeles not long ago to the effect that burglars had invaded Mr. Pearson's wine cel lar Is cited as evidence that the dry candidate keeps company at home with beverages proscribed by bis platform. But the dry issue in California is emphasized more noticeably in the race for governor where the demo crats have a much better fighting chance than in the senatorship con test. Thomas Lee Woolwine, dis trict attorney of Los Angeles, is the democratic candidate for governor on a wet platform of his own mak ing against Friend William Rich ardon, present state treasurer. Mr. Woolwine is chiefly distinguished as the man who did not catch the murderer of William Desmond Tay lor, moving picture director, who was mysteriously shot down In his studio about a year ago. None who had ever eeen the of ficers of the law in Los Angeles as they came piling over each other to the scene of crime in a Mack Sen nett comedy expected the Taylor assassin to be caught, hence no one was disappointed when the district attorney failed to find even so much as a clew to the identity of the murderer. But all memory of the celebrated mystery has been lost in the hurry and bustle of Mr. Woolwine's cam paign to quench countless thirsts. California's wet and dry campaign appears to have reached its greatest inteusity in Sacramento county, where health officials recently be gan to show resistance by an order compelling the vaccination of all dogs on account of an epidemic of rabies. Nobody seems to know' what sort of a star was playing around over the house where Henry Cabot Lodge wag born, but everybody who has followed the course of the Massa chusetts statesman is ready to grant that It was a lucky one. Senator Lodge left Washington some weeks ago for home, think ing he had the most difficult test of his career ahead of him, but as the election draws nearer it is con ceded that his re-election is onlv a ' matter of counting the votes. His democratic opponent. Colonel Gas ton, a fine old aristocrat, to begin with encountered many obstacles in ascertaining what sort of a plat form he was standing on. His pre dicament may be appreciated whan one recalls that the democrats of Massachusetts have openly declared themselves againitf practically all of the democratic policies enun ciated by Woodrow Wilson, includ ing the latter's league of nations. The cap sheaf was finally added hist Sunday, when the Boston Post, leading democratic newspaper of New England, came out in an edito rial appeal to democrats to help return Mr. Lodge to the senate for his sixth term. The Post position Is that Massachusetts cannot afford to throw away the Lodge influence built up In five terms in t,he senate and four terms in the house to the point where he Is now the leader of his party in the upper branch of congress.

Equitable Distribution of Availa ble Refrigerator Carrier Supply Is Requested. OLTMPIA, Wash., Nov. 2. (Spe cial.) The department of public works will co-ODerate to the fullest extent with the four northwestern railroads and the public service commissions of Oregon and Idaho in obtaining an equitable distribu tion of the available refrigerator car supply. Director E. V. Kuyken dajl said today, following receipt of a copy of the telegram which the interstate commerce commission sent yesterday to the presidents of the four carriers, directing them to follow the advice of the state com missions in allocating the ear sup ply. H. O. Berger, assistant traffic ex pert of the department, has just completed a survey of the perish able crop condition in the Spokane district, and is making a similar suiveji-in the Yakima district. SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 2. Im provement of operating conditions on railways through grouping of roads and through the devising of systems to get cars back to their railroad owners more quickly will be a big factor in preventing a re currence of the present freight-car shortage, Charles Donnelly, presi dent of the Northern Pacific rail road, said here today. Mr. Donnelly, with other Northern Pacifio offi cials, is on a tour of inspection of the company's lines in the west. "I confess I can see no full solu tion of the, problem," said Mr. Don nelly. "Pacific coast rates to meet water competition would also be a factor in overcoming conditions bringing about car shortages." Lumber m'lls and allied industries of the Inland Empire are facing tihutdowns because of the rail car shortage, according to reports of plant managers here. Lumber mills are filling all avail able storage space with lumber, and even those which ordinarily operate all winter will soon be forced to shut down, I. N. Tate, assistant gen eral manager of the Weyerhaeuser Sales company, stated today. Plan ing mills are even now being oper ated only when cars are available, he said.

''X P." y 1 "V-v L: ;X"- -- v TICKET FiSKE IS CHARGE FRED Jj. CIFFOKD AND W. C. EIFORD 'iX DISSENSION. Grand Dragon of Klan Charged With Circulating Counterfeit "Yellow" Indorsements. Dissension over tickets issued for the perusal of the faithful, who are thereby instructed how to vote next Tuesday, has arisen between Fred L. Giffora, grand dragon ef the Ku Klux Klan, and W. C. Elford, sec retary of tne Federation of Patriotic societies. Secretary Elford issued a state ment yesterday in which he declared the grand dragon was putting out a fake ticket. He said Gifford has circulated a yellow ticket that is a counterfeit of the usual federated societies ticket. Elford satd it is a plain "fake." The statement was as follows: "Our attention has been called to an alleged 'yellow ticket" issued by one Fred L. Gifford, which bears evidence on its face of its 'fake' character. It purports to be issued in behalf of a 'Good Government league,' incorporated October 23, 1922, and warns against duplicity, deceit and imitation. Its seal is an Imitation of the seal of the Oregon Federation of Patriotic societies, which was incorporated October 10, 1917, and has been issuing its recommendations or 'tickets' at every election since 1914. "We are informed that Mr. Gif ford is the dragon or some other title, of mass meetings known as the Ku Klux Klan, and that the 'Good Government league' and 'Progres sive party' are political aliases for the Ku Klux Klan. If this is so, why doesn't Grand Dragon Gifford sign indorsements in the- name of the klan instead of hiding behind other titles? Is it to deceive the people? The fate of the dragon is forecast in Revelations xii:9. "Gifford's fake ticket announces that the 'Good Government league' la 'composed of members from the various churches," etc. That is what the Oregon Federation of Patriotic societies has been fighting for the last ight yeara, viz., churches in politics or politics In churches. The federation opposes any political activity by any church as such. Roman Catholic or Protestant, and has no quarrel with any man be cause of his personal religion. "No patriotic ticket is genuine un less signed by W. C. Elford, secre tary, and bearing the corporate seal of the Oregon Federation of Pa triotic societies, incorporated Octo ber 10, 1917." RECALL IS THREATENED NEWTON McCOY MENACED BY MR. DUNCAN. Oregon's "Warwick" Offended by Recent Action Regarding Telephone Rate Cut. Newton McCoy, chairman of the public service commission, elected on a recall ticket last May, is to feel the recall ax himself, accord ing to Robert G. Duncan, nemesis of the telephone company, who yesterday made public his intention of starting a recall campaign against McCoy on December 16. The recent telephone rate reduction, which Duncan . characterizes as . a "fake," is the cause. Duncan's letter to McCoy is Dun canesque in its vituperative quali ties. The public service commis sioner is called a little of every thing unpleasant by his ex-friend. Duncan declared that he "dragged McCoy from political obscurity" and that he intends "to shove hifh back in that same obscurity" as soon as he gets his recall petitions working. The fact that Duncan, the friend of the people, wears $125 garments was also made public in the letter. Duncan, in accusing McCoy of in gratitude, calls the commissioner's attention that Duncan distributed $103 . worth of election cards for McCoy during the recall campaign and in so doing ruined a $125 suit.

SEA MONSTER CAUGHT Fish With Cavernous Mouth and Three Rows of Teeth Landed. CBy Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Nov. 2. While fish ing off Coney Island today Anthony Rudolph pulled a thing out of the sea that puts all the freaks and foibles of that meeting place for strange grotesqueries in the shade. And he called it a "What's It." Rudolph felt an enormous yank at his line and began to haul in. The thing he caught lashed the water into a white foam and fought desperately for freedom. Rudolph gave a great heave and landed it. Then it attacked him. He killed the monster with a pocket knife. Examination showed it to weigh 30 pounds, mostly bead. It measures 30 inches long and 18 wide. Its mouth is cavernous, equipped with three rows of teeth. Under the body are two little protuberances that look like baby hands, with four fingers each. The skin is leathery and adorned with hairy tufts. The old salts of Coney speculated much without getting closer to a name for the fish than "What's It," and so it will be called until scien tifically catalogued.
