STAND ON NORMAL EXPLAINED School Issue Should Be Taken Out of Politics, He Says. . HOME OFELKS DEDICATED Acting-Governor, as Officer of Grand lodge, Takes Part in Cere monies Republican Leaders Are Confident of Success. ASHLAND,- Or., Oct 15. (Special. Way Bowerman, Republican direct primary candidate for Governor, today dispelled an opposition to his candidacy that had arisen In tills place, because of his atti tude on the subject of state normal schools. He took occasion to explain fully his views on the normal schools which he voted against while President of the State Senate In the last session of the Legislature. Many of the staunchest supporters of the schools afterward ad vised him that they were compelled to coincide with him. "I am not an enemy of the normal schools," said Mr. Bowerman. "There Is nothing In my record to Indicate that I am. What I oppose Is the practice of bartering and trading In the Legislature In the Interest of these s?hools. I con tend that they should stand on their mer its and be divorced from politics and lg lslalve log-rolling." Normal Supporters His Enemies. E. V. Carter and E. X. Brigs, leading supporters of the Normal School In Jackson- County, were among those who at once concurred with the acting Governor. "We want and must have normal schools," said Mr. Carter, "but there can be no disputing the principle that such schools should stand on their merits and not depend for sustenance on legislative dickering." No formal talks were made by Bower man today. He came here as the guest of the local Elks to participate In the dedication of their new 340,000 home. Under the circumstances he contended that he could hardly ake political speeches, but the subject of normal schools was brought up scores of times, that topic being of vital Interest In Asiiland and Jackson County .generally. West Gets Little Support. Although Jackson County Is regarded as ope of the Democratic strongholds of the state, leading Ashland Republi cans are strong In the assertion that the Republican ticket will win out in the coming election. While there has been opposition to the representative of the ticket because of the normal schools and his supposed objection to them, yet the Democratic nominee, Os wald West, has had no marked support, the Idea having become widespread that he Is merely a tool of the Bourne Chamberlain machine. The methods of that machine have aroused the bitter resentment of many Democrats and of Republicans generally In Jackson County. "I am certain that Ashland will give Mr. Bowerman a handsome majority," said Mr. Carter tonight. "He has met hundreds of people today and has made a marked Impression. Republican Governor Sought. "We understand his position better In regard to the normal schools, but even aside from the subject of normal schools, do not believe the people here would stand for the Bourne-Ch.imber-lain man. There is no lack of harmony nrrong the Republicans of this section and we all want a Republican licjvernor In this Republican state for a change. I understand that the Boume-Cnanib-r-l.i In people have strong hopes of get ting Jackson County for their man, but they are going to be mistaken " ' Tomorrow Mr. Bowerman will de- (Concluded on Page 5.)

WIRELESS MESSAGES SENT America, Braving: Fog and Darkness Last Heard From Off Coast of Xew York Speed Is 60 Knots an ITour. ATLANTIC CITY, N. I., Oct. li-Safl-lng Into a thick fog that hung low over the Atlantic Ocean a few minutes after 8 o'clock this corning, Walter Wellman. with a crew of five men, is tonight be lieved to be on an epoch-making voyage to Europe In the huge cigar-shaped air ship America. Numerous wireless messages were re ceived during the day, and the latest In dicated that Wellman Is tonight sailing through the darkness off the New Tork Coast. The men making the flight are Walter Wellman, commander; Melvln Vanlman. chief engineer, and next in command; F. Murray Simmons, navigator; J. K. Irwin, wireless operator; John Aubert and Al bert Louis Loud, assistant engineers. Start Is Dramatic. The start of the balloon America was one of the most dramatic moments ever occurring here. Roundly criticised by people who did not believe that he would 'ever undertake what - was thought to be a foolhardy venture, Wellman startled the whole Island by bringing; the America out of tho hangar and without ceremony going into the air. For the last 30 days the public had expectantly awaited some move from the Intrepid crew. Day after day It was announced that a trial flight would be made as soon as conditions were per fect. Early this week it was announced that the airship would make a trial flight and when no effort was mada to bring the airship out of the big shed the criticisms of Wellman be came stronger. Decision Made in Morning. It wns about 4 A. M. today that the I final decision to go up was made by ! Phlof o-f n .t Vnnlmnn. All nleht he watched at the weather bureau and as dawn broke he decided. Rushing the crew, who slept In the hangar, Vanlman called Wellman on the telephone at the Hotel Chalfonte, and notified him that the time to start had arrived. Wellman soon was on the way to the inlet In an automobile. With everything ready for the words "Let go," the crew climbed into the car hanging from tho balloon. The final "goodbyes" were said to wives, relatives and friends and the last word to the ground was given. On the boardwalk and beach was as sembled a crowd estimated at about 6000. The crowd stood in awe as the air ship began to rise and sail In the fog. Then cheer after cheer followed when the craft began to disappear in the mist. Within five minutes the ship was out of sight. Kobert Miller, one of the wireless op erators stationed here, kept calling tho America, but It was not until 11:15 A. M. that there wa response. Then out of the air came this message, the first ever sent from an airship at sea: "Headed northeast; all well on board. Machinery working fine. Good-bye. J. Irwin." Messages Are Irequent. After this messages came frequently and all reported good progress. Among the anxious people who crowded into the little wireless station on the pier were Mrs. Wellman and two daughters and Mrs. Vanlman. All were cool, despite the danger their Concluded on Page 4.)
