0 TIIE MORNIXG OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER T, 1923 9 BOTH 515 CLAIM VIGTORY IN IDAHO Democrats Predict Great Landslide. EXCTING RACE CLOSES Senator Borah In Statement Sayn He Supports Neither Alex ander Jn'or Samuels. ' BOISE. Idaho, Xov. 6. (Special.) On the eve of the election follow ing: one of the most interesting po litical campaigns in the history of Idaho, the chairmen in charge of the campaigns predicted their can didates for governor will be elected by pluralities ranging from 8000 to 12,000. In Boise M. Alexander, dem ocratic candidate for governor, closed the campaign with an address at the Finney theater. Governor Davis closed his campaign for the republicans at the high school audi torium. In an address at Nampa in reply to the many reports and nimora as to where he was throwing his sup port, Senator Borah issued the fol lowing statement: "I went into this campaign to present two questions in particular reduction or taxes and the passing of the direct primary. I have at no time or place sought to advance the cause of either the democratic can didate or the progressive candidate as against each other. If my advo cacy of the primary has been bene ficial to either or both it has been because of the Issue. In other words, at no time or place have I indorsed or urged the election of either Alexander or Samuels. I have' tried to present this issue and fight It out inside of the republican party and before the people." Educational Drive Conducted. The forecast of I. H. Nash, re publican state chairman, is ex pressed in the following statement: "The republicans in Idaho have Con-ducted a careful campaign of education. We think no campaign has made the people of the Mate more familiar with details of their government and reports pouring into headquarters indicate that the people are not alarmed at conditions. With moderate pluralities in the southwest and north assured us, even in the most conservative esti mate we have we are confident Moore will carry the state by 12,000. Claiming that the year 1922 will mark the greatest democratic land slide ever recorded in the history of Idaho, Will H. Hornibrook, chair man of the democratic state central committee, today gave out the fol lowing statement: "The entire democratic ticket will be swept Into office tomorrow. It's in the air and nothing short of a poitica.1 miracle can prevent the landslide which has been gaining during the last 30 days. We have chocked and. re-checked on every precinct in the entire state. Samuel Victory Predicted. The statement from progressive party headquarters, signed by Kay JlcKraig and George L. West, is as follows: "Samuels will carry the election by a clear majority of 8000 to 12,000 votes. The balance of the state ticket will be elected by pluralities of from 3000 to 5000 votes. The leg islature will be mixed, the progres sives carrying the majority of the counties by wide margins. The re publican candidates will bo wo fully defeated from top to bottom throughout all counties. . They will receive not more than 20 per cent of (the total vote cast. The demo cratic candidates for state offices will run far ahead of the republican candidates, but in no instance will they be within better than 300 of the progressives. It's a landslide." WARM RACEJS ENDED (Continued Front First TagO been created, the vote will be large, but in 8S5 of the 1729 precincts in Oregon there are second boards which will start counting as soon as the first 20 ballots have been ca--st. If the election is very one-sided the drift will be known shortly after the polls close tonight, but if the con test between Olcott and Pierce is as strenuous as between Olcott and Charles Hall in the primaries the victor may not be determined be fore tomorrow or Thursday. School Bill Fight Heated. The most heatedly-contested meas ure on the state ballot is the school bill. Half a dozen denominations have united to defeat this measure, which is sponsored by the A. and A. Scottish Rite school committee and indorsed by t lie Ku Klux Klan and the Oregon Federation of Patriotic Societies. Both the Klux and Fed erated Societies have indorsed Pierce. So far as Multnomah county is con cerned, the belief exists that the bill is overwhelmingly defeated, and this belief exists among advocates of the measure. The three Oregon republican rep resentatives in congress are con sidered safe. Throughout Oregon, in many counties, are bitter legislative con tests. In previous yars a repub lican nomination for a seat in the legislature was tantamount to a certificate of election. This year it is different and hotly contested el ections for the legislature have de veloped in several counties. Candidates Are Repudiated, Republican candidates for house and senate have been repudiated by their county republican organiza tions. In Tillamook county, where the republican candidate for repre sentative has no democratic oppon HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS Be Better Looking Take Olive Tablets If your skin is yellow com plexion pallid tongue coated appe tite poor you have a bad taste in your mouth a lazy, no-good feel ing you should take Olive Tablets. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets a substitute for calomel were pre pared by Dr. Edwards after 17 years of study. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a yurely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil. Tou will know them by their olive color. To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoy ancy like childhood days you must get at the cause. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like calomel yet have no dangerous after effects. They start the bile and overcome constipation. Take one or two nightly and note the pleasing re sults. Millions of boxes are sold annually at lac and 30c. Adv. ent, republicans are being asked to write in the name of Andrew Gump, so bitter is the feeling against the nominee for the house. In Mult nomah county most of the demo cratic candidates for the legislature have taken a stand against their party candidate for governor on the school bill. The whole state, politically, ap pears to be shot 'to pieces and life long alignments have been thrown to the winds. Previous campaigns contain no parellel even in the hectic days of the early '90s and the free silver craze. Fair Measures Uppermost The municipal election is marked by the enmity of the klan and fed eration over the matter of city com mission. Each of these organiza tions has its own set of candidates Nand neither wants to see the other crowd's selections elected. Of city measures, the tax meas ure to raise $3,000,0C'0 in three years for the 1927 exposition is most im portant. Next in the public eye is the proposal for a new bridge at Burnside street and a bridge at Boss island. In the past week Portland has been swamped with special "tick ets," the particular indorsements of groups. Comparison of these tick ets shows that in the main one set of candidates is on the orange and yellow tickets of the federation and klan, and candidates not on these two tickets are on about all of the other tickets. The line of demarka tion is well defined. CAMPAIGX BITTEREST YET Fight Most Remarkable One in Marion County's History. SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) The bitterest campaign in the his tory of Marion county closed here tonight. Religion played an import ant part in the campaign, and the compulsory school bill was the sub ject of many heated public debates. Reports received at republican central headquarters here tonight from various sections of Marion county indicate that Ben W. Olcott, republican nominee for governor, will carry the county over Walter Pierce, democrat, by a majority of several hundred votes. Other re publican nominees probably will carry the county. There is no hop for the school bill in Marion county, observers said. Records In the office of the secre tary of state show that never in the history of the state has the In cumbent of the governor's office carried Marion county. 0FHCUL5 LEI SALEM EXODUS TO CAST BALLOTS AT HOME IS GENERAL. Most, Though Making Homes in Capital, Maintain Legal Res idences Elsewhere. SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) Because of the general election to be held in Oregon tomorrow there was an exodus of state officials and employes here today.

Alfred Newland. alias Allen R. Ansbrey, who told police he had been arrested for vagrancy in Ta coma, Seattle, Sacramento, San Francisco and other places too nu merous to mention, was arrested last night on a charge of larceny.

McCAY shows in this cartoon there is one monument that dwarfs all others, making them seem insignificant. That noblest of monu ments is the public school in which the children of the nation are taught at the EXPENSE of the nation, re ceiving the knowledge that will enable them to build up and defend and carry on the nation. The public school typifies the spirit of the United States, the Constitu tion, laws and beliefs of, the United States. The public school is DEMOCRATIC It receives and treats all alike; wealth does not count, poverty does not hin der. The knowledge and the books are there for ALL. The public school, like the Consti tution of the United States, forbids all discrimination because of religion. It teaches THE FACTS that all intel ligent human beings accept. ... The public school recognizes only social equality. The HEAD of the class is for the child that studies, and the bottom of the class for the child that does not study. The only aristoc racy is that of learning, of applica tion, of good conduct. The public school is first of all an education IN CITIZENSHIP. That education is almost as impor tant as the education in writing, read ing and arithmetic, the foundations of knowledge, since reading and writing open to us all the knowledge of the book. Fortunate the boy and girl that go to the public school. Much to be pitied are those deprived of that splen did training in American life and American thought. The public school is the United States in miniature. In it the little citizens that are to be the future voters sit side by side, all EQUAL. The establishment of the public school was the greatest event in all the history of the human race.

This is the ONE thing; that is important in this nation. In comparison with it NOTHING ELSE has importance. The Capitol, where Congressmen sit, the great mon ument in memory of Washington, the mountain ranges, the WHOLE NATION is subordinate to this noblest of all earth's monuments THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. What the nation is, what its laws are to be, its future usefulness in the world, ALL depend on the school in which the children are taught. Protect this monument, build it higher, nobler, better, and you have provided for the future and safety of the United States. in a country believing all men to be created free and equal it is necessary that all ffhall have knowledge and FREE KNOWLEDGE in order to make that equality worth while. The nation now says, The mind of every child shall be fed at the public expense. The State will compel the parents to see that the children are taught and will supply FREE teach ing for every one that wants it. That declaration, represented by the public school, is the greatest step that civilization ever took. Politicians have grafted on the pub lic Rchools, book concerns have grafted public school funds, contractors have swindled, and vicious, un-American elements that hate the public school because it REALLY TEACHES THE CHILDREN have fought against it like that English Governor of Vir ginia who hoped that there would not be a public school in his state "for another hundred years."

The Kuck Publishing company, with headquarters in Pendleton and cap ital stock of $25,000, has been in corporated by Harry L. Kuck, Ann 88 1W5 But in spite of it all, the public schools have gone steadily FOR WARD. The public has watched them, has demanded that they be built ever bigger, safer, finer. The children are gathered AS EQUALS. They all have the same rights, they are all taught the same. They play together, they are Ameri can friends studying in childhood, growing up to be American citizens working together in adult life. HONOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. Honor the system of teaching that is really democratic and really Ameri can. Send your children to the pub lic schools, or you send them where their chance is cut in half. No matter how rich you may be, or what you can AFFORD, you CAN NOT, for the children's sake, afford to deprive them of the public school atmosphere, of the DEMOCRATIC 'BAPTISM that should come in early childhood.

FEARLESS, ECONOMICAL AND EFFICIENT VOTE FOR X GEORGE Candidate for City Paid Ad. by Thomas for Commissioner Club. MONUMENT There is only one really American schoolroom, that is the PUBLIC schoolroom. ' There is only one typi cally American School, and that is the American PUBLIC SCHOOL. Children , FEEL equality, and they feel inequality. From five to ten years of age the child's character is formed and estab lished for all the rest of its life. The prejudices, beliefs, inclinations, aspi rations and national feeling acquired at that age last until death. The American public school puts in the minds of children DEMOCRACY, love of equality, belief in your fellow man, genuine equality that comes from mingling with all classes, and knowing them as equals and friends in useful mind-improving competition. The test of the politician, the office holder, is his attitude toward the pub lic school. If he hesitates, if he de parts one inch from the old idea that the public school is the SCHOOL OF AMERICA, and the ONLY school, if he hesitates in his loyalty to THAT school, he is a traitor to the spirit of the United States, and your vote should tell him so. Willingness to support the public schools through taxation is the test of the good citizen. Every dollar spent on the public school comes back a hundred and a thousand fold in the future life of the public school chil dren. Every dollar spent in public edu cation and public schools is a dollar spent for insurance against trouble in the future. Interest yourself in the public schools, in the teachers, in the chil dren. AND HONOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL, cradle of the na tion's future greatness. Rayl and George B. Miller. Head quarters are in Portland. d ist. DIRECTOR THOMAS SAVES SCHOOL DISTRICT MONEY The Committee on Business finds the total saving to School District No. 1, through the indi-' vidual efforts of Director George B. Thomas, in the purchasing of machinery and supplies, now amounts to $224,926.85, based on wholesale prices, in addition to the installation of improved boilers, the direct cause of a large saving in fuel, amounting to $1500 per month. It was through the paper which Director Thomas read on Vocational Education, at the National Educational Associa tion, that Benson Polytechnic school was placed before the country. This school is now recognized by the Government and educators as the best of its kind in the United States.
