PREPAREDNESS IS URGED Citizen Soldier Plan and Largo Army and Navy Indorsed lis- ; v nrmaxucnt AMule Other Xa- lions Are Arming Opposed. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 13. Elimina tion of the tariff question from party politics and placing it entirely in the hands of scientific men was advocated today by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, ad dressing the Commonwealth Club of fcan Francisco. Every four years the question comes up anew, and the parties become di vided said Mr. Gompers, and the dinner pall, full or partly full, or empty, is swung before the workingmen of the vote!try ln effo,"u to influence their "I protest against such procedure " said the labor leader. "We of the United States should have a nonpartisan tariff .....iBBiuii, wnicn would take the tariff question out of politics alto- Kcmer. .. question of such vast im portance, arrecting the entire country as it does, should be under the control l uuicnce ana a commission with which politics would never in terfere." Mr. Gompers spoke on "Some Ameri can Problems," with particular refer ence as to what this country intended doing to prepare against the Influx of immigration expected from Europe at the conclusion of the war. He asked what it had done to meet the situa tion with which it would be confronted factories now manufacturing munitions of war were closed and when this export business virtually would be at a. standstill. Mr. Gompers said he favored the citizen-soldier plan and that so long as other nations of the world were arming themselves the United States could not disarm. "I am for a large avy and a great standing Armv," he asserted. ,He looked forward to the oay of universal peace, he said. On the question of labor, Mr. Gompers eaid the laboring man of today had reached such sound and high principles that It was no longer necessary for toini to seek the sympathetic patronage of the employer. hood p55s big YIELD AJfD BTET PROFITS SURPRISE GROWERS' ASSOCIATIOX.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 13. Does Colonel Bryan intend to be the Colonel Roosevelt of the Democratic party? That is what Democrats are asking one another, and not one of them but would give a great deal to know the correct answer. Whatever Bryan's intentions may be. there is a widespread fear among the Democratic brethren, disclosed by those already in Washington, that the man who made Wilson President is now bent on preventing his re-elec tion. There Is a deadly parallel in the present Wilson-Bryan situation and the Taft-Roosevelt situation of 1312, and politicians being largely supersti tious. Democratic politicians do not relish a comparison of the threatened Democratic row of today with the Re publican row of more than three years ago. History records that Roosevelt made Taft President: history records that Bryan made Wilson President. But for the dominating influence of Roose velt, Taft would never have been nom inated in 1908: but for the fact that Bryan grabbed control of the Balti more convention in 1912, when Champ Clark had rolled up more than a ma jority of the delegates, Woodrow Wil son would not have been nominated, and therefore would not have been elected. "My Policies" History Recalled. Roosevelt turned on Taft because Taft failed satisfactorily to carry out my policies. Bryan turned on Wil son after the President had declined longer to carry out Bryan foreign poli cies. And again he turns on the Presi dent because the President refuses to indorse his peace-at-any-price policies. Roosevelt was satisfied with Taft just so long as Taft filled the Presidency to his satisfaction: Bryan was satisfied with Wilson just so long as Wilson acted as he would like. vhile it Is conceded on every band that President Wilson is a bigger fac tor in the Democratic party than Is Mr. Bryan, yet Democrats are not de ceiving themselves Into believing that Mr. Bryan has become a negligible fac tor in the party. They admit that he still has a large following and still wields a tremendous influence with Democrats, and their concern is over the results that may follow his fight on the President's plan of National defense legislation. That Bryan will succeed in alienat ing many votes is conceded; in fact, there are many Democrats not at all enamored of the Army and Navy plan approved by the President. Mr. Bryan, by assuming leadership of those op posed to National defense legislation, will stiffen the backs of some who might be disposed to wobble, and to vote for the programme" merely because the President is back of it. and he no doubt will be able successfully to mar shal those who already are in accord with his ideas. Republican Aid May Be Asked. If Mr. Bryan succeeds in building un a substantial opposition to the Admin istration's defense programme, the President will be largely dependent upon Republicans for the votes to out "through his Army and Navy bills, and situation may develop which will show that the majority of votes cast for a larger Army and Navy will be cast by Republicans. In fact, now that Mr. Bryan has taken the warpath. It is quite probable that the National de fense legislation will get more Repub lican votes than Democratic, and in tliat event the President will be un able to go before the country next year claiming credit for whatever pro gressive defense legislation is enacted. Once Mr. Bryan succeeds in split ting the Democracy on the question of National defense, there is no telling where or how far he may carry his fight. It is true he always pauses to explain that he has no quarrel with the President: he gives the President full credit for acting in accord with his own convictions: but his honeyed words have not deceived the President nor his friends. Mr. Bryan may be laying his nlans simply to defeat the National defense legislation to which the Administration is committed, but nobody believes he will stop there. It is no secret in Washington that Mr. Bryan wants some other man than Woodrow Wilson to head the) Democratic National ticket LEBANON READY FOR VOTE Nominations Closed for City Offices AVith Few Aspirants.
