Tnp SUNDAY OREG ONI AX,. PORTLAND, OCTOBER 22. 191G. WILSON THUS HE . WILL WIN AT POLLS President Says He Doesn't x- pect Opponents to Have . Chance to Bring on War. IDLE TALK IS CRITICISED Executive Declares lie Will Be Glad When the Campaign la Ended, That He May 4'iet Down to Business Again." I.ONG BRANCH, N. J.. Oct. 21 In a sueech devoted primarily to a discus sion of the need for economic prepared ness in the tnited States, President Wilson ;told a delegation of farmers, srchitects and engineers here today that he "did not expect the United States to get into war. "1 know that the way in -which -we have preserved peace is objected to, said the President, '"and that certain trentlemen say they would have taken tome other way that wouldL inevitably have resulted in war, hut I 1m not ex l'tlng this country to Bet into-war, partly because I am not expecting these gentlemen to have a chance to make a mess of lt" i Taking: the work done by the Ad ministration for. the larmers as his lext. Mr. Wilson declared: "We -want the privilege of representing the whole force of the Nation." Talk Regarded as Irresponsible. Vie demanded that men be put tliroijh a -third degree" in respect to where they stanvl with regard to love of the United States, and he said he wan glad the . campaign was nearly over, "because I am "in a hurry to get d("n to business again. "There is a great deal of irresponsible lalk being indulged in," declared the President, in discussing the campaign. "Jim are saying things they know per fectly well they cannot make good on, and it disturbs the National counsel. On the seventh of November we will call time." Mr. Wilson said the Democratic party ,hai been trying to take the Govern ment out of the control of small groups and "square It with the counsel of the whole" nation, .Mobilisation of Resource Cited. In detail he told of work being done to mobilize the industrial resources of the Nation, saying "one of the great lessons of the European war has been that the economic co-ordination and co operation of the country Is just as im portant as the military co-operation of it." The occasion of the President's ad dress was the celebration of "farmers day" -at Shadow Lawn, but a delegation of architects and engineers from New York, led by a band, came to the West l-'.nd wailroad station by train and inarched to the President's Summer home to hear the address. Farmers from New Jersey and other nearby states came to the celebration, several hundred of them in automobiles. Repnbllcirn Neglect Charged. Tn his speech here today. President Wilson said, in. part: "We owe much to Our Republican predecessors that they exercised such long and systematic neglect that it was necessary for us to undertake sys tematic performance. Things will not wait forever to be performed. Not only that, but circumstances will not wait upon everything that ought to be done: some of the things must be done and done promptly. "This Administration has had the singular advantage cf having a great body of National sentiment behind it which had long stood ready to support such measures as It adopted. I do not know whether the systematic neglect to which I referred was deliberate or not. I only know that it was thor ough-going, and that an absolutely free field was left for the present Admin istration. - "You as farmers were never told, take it, tP.at you were getting the di rect benefit of the tariff. You were told you were getting the indirect benefit of the tariff. You were get ting it with extreme indirection, be cause you were getting it by having duties placed upon almost everything that you had to use, and. therefore, the cost of almost everything you had to use was advanced, and you were prom ised hardly more than this that if the country prospered you would necessarily prosper with the country but you would pay for the prosperity at a very considerable price. That was not added, but that was implied. Interests I-'ix Tariff Is Charge. "And the whole point of view of our legislation has been this, that a special set of men who thought they could guide the Nation better than anybody else, and proffered to guide it in prl- asaea teriam cjjiet ueneiiciaries it the tariff to come together and suggest what the schedule of the tariff should be. So that these gentlemen have the idea that I have several times pointed out that it was best for us to be in the hands of guardians." The President then reviewed the benefits of the Federal reserve act, j and the rural credits act. "The agricultural products of this country," he continued, "judged by our opportunities and our soil and our na tive capacity, ought to be twice what they are at present, and, instead of the possibility of shortage, there ought always to be the certainty of the ex portation of large bodies of grain from the United States. Counsel of M hole Nation Heard. "So that what we are trying to do all along the line is to establish co operation, general development, com mon counsel, and what I would be glad to have you gentlemen understand is, that is exactly the formula that fits everything that we have been trying to do. We have been trying to take the government of this country out of the control and from the guidance of small groups and square it with the counsel of the whole Nation. We have been trying to make a partnership out of it, and I am glad to say we have suc ceeded. , "I do not wonder that the gentlemen out of whose hands it has been taken are uneasy, because they are genuinely or the opinion that only they know how to run the. country, and if I thought I was the only man living who knew how to run the country, I would be very sorry to see it taken out of my hands. "What has surprised some of these gentlemen is to discover how many mere are who really understand the united States. The United States is beginning to understand itself, and it is beginning to understand these gen tlemen. One of the greatest lessons of the European war has been that the economic mobilization of the country, the economic co-ordination and co-op eration of it, is just as important as the military co-operation of it. "War Not Kxperted. . "T am not expecting this country to get into war. I know that the way in which we have preserved peace is on jected to, and that certain gentlemen eay tbey would have taken some other way that would inevitably have result ed in war, but I am not expecting this country to get into war, partly because I am not expecting these gentlemen to have a chance to make a mess of it. But. I am very glad to take advantage of the present concentration of the at tention of the world UDon the nroblems of war to make it evident to the coun try that these same problems are the problems of peace, so far as they are economic problems. - The railway development of this country naver has been studied as a whole for one . thing. There are a great many things lacking in the transportation facilities of the country which are now going to be developed n me new kind of consultation which we have established. Congress has created recently a council of National defense, and has associated with that council - an ad- sory commitfce of seven men. who. shall represent these same physical and intellectual resources: a great surgeon. a great engineer, a great railroad man. great manufacturer: all the several kinds of industries in this country, at any rate, represented for the purpose or taking counsel with the Government tself at Washington as to how the re sources of this country can be drawn together at all times, in times of peace as well as in times of war. Because, my friends, in be immediate future this country hats got to know itself, has got to draw upon its resources in the most intelligent possible way, and has got to make conquest of all those men who refuse to co-operate. It has got to subordinate the individual in terest and the Individual group of in terests to the general interest." LISTER DEAL ALLEGED UUVEMOR SAID TO HAVE HAD BACKING OK WETS IN 1912. Senator Carlyon Declares Silence on Issue Was Promised as ' Means of Getting aloon Support. OLYMPIA, Wash, Oct. 21. (Special.) Charges that Governor Lister entered into a deal with liquor interests where by he was to command their support in 1912 are made in a campaign state ment issued by P. H. Carlyon. Republi can etate senator rrom Thurston coun ty. His statement follows: Governor Lister now rliUnu to tie the dry candidate for Governor and has charged that Henry McBride Is wet. In hia attempt to prove this state ment he . says Mr. McBride had the support of all liquor interest in 1908 There is more recent history than 1908 on this subject, and it is a matter of common knowledge that Mr. Lister had tne wet support in 1S13 and is now holding office by virtue of that fact. Governor Hay was known as the dry candidate in 1912 because of having vetoed the bill permitting hotels to aell liquor on Sunday. The wets did not want Mr. Hay and I am reliably informed that .a deal was made at a room held in the Washing ton Hotel in Seattle and that in return for wet support Ernest Lister atrreed to remain silent on the lienor question in his message to the state Legislature. ims is one promise Governor Lister kept. In his message to the Legisla ture in 1913 he remained completely silent on the prohibition question and the only reference to the liquor law in 1915 was to ask the Legislature to ap propriate $50,000 to be expended under his direction in enforcement of the law, The Legislature refused to make the appropriation, but did provide a fund of about $17,000 for Investigation of in fractions of the law and extradition purposes. That fund has practically all been EPISCOPAL CHURCH SEEKS WAR CUBE Establishment of Interna- . tional Court Suggested at Convention. country woman told the International Dry Farming Congress delegates today that they knew more about raising hogs than they did about rearing chil dren, that the Government spent $40,000 to etudy cnildren's diseases, and (800, 000 to study diseases among hogs. She was Mrs. W. A. arner, of Claude. Texas, who spoke on the sub- ect: "The Farm Woman s viewpoint. 'A man may become a father while riding to town on a load of . wheat." she said. "The .perpetuation of the human race has never cost a man a single physical pain, and that is why the men who make all the laws are so Indifferent to the needs of women and children." MOVIE CENSORSHIP URGED Fight on Remarriage of Divorced Innocent Party Not Yet Ended. Committee Asks Indorse ment of Prohibition. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 21. Establishment of an international court, having juris diction over all nations in the world in the same way that the United States Supreme Court has jurisdiction over all states of the Union, was suggested as a practical method of preventing war in a report submitted to the House of Deputies of the Protestant Episcopal general convention today. The report was presented by the commission on minimizing war. Whether the class of motion picture films shown in the United States is Improving was a question raised with the submission of a resolution by Rev. E. V. Shayler, of Seattle. This resolu tion directed the church social service commission to arrange conditions to create a national board of censors, and originally asserted that, while admit ting the beneficial effects of some pic tures, an increasing number is being snown snowing "distorted views of af fection, suggestions of lust and license and details which combine to develop a scnool or crime. Rev. Edward S. Brown, of Cambridge, Mass., objected to the words, "increas ing number." asserting that that is a matter of personal opinion, and, as a result, they were stricken from the resolution as adopted. Display of Wealth Censured, The clergy and laity of the church are urged in a resolution adopted by theihouse of deputies to the "rigid ob servance in all social habits of those Christian principles which make for so- Driety. purity and holiness In life. the resolution also asserted that the awful tragedy of Europe demands a searching investigation of the stan dards of our individual and corporate life." American life, it is asserted, "is marked in a vulgar and flagrant way by ostentatious luxurv and orodlaral ex travagance, creating false standards of living and tending to make more evi dent . the cleavage between rich and poor.

HANLY SCORES HUGHES SILENCE! ON LIQUOR QUESTION CHAHGGD IN SPEECH. Prohibitionist Makes Attack; - In Re publican Candidate's Home State, Invisible Government Alleged. BUFFALO. N. Y.. Oct. 21. Here in Charles E. Hughes' home state, J. Frank Hanly, the Prohibitionist candi date for President, charged today that the Republican Presidential nominee has been rendered "dumb" by the liquor traffic. "Hughes would not say a word on this traffic for a seat in Heaven," the ex-Indiana Governor shouted in his first New York speech at Westfleld. "He had rather take a chance on win ning the Presidency than do that. "In his long Western tour recently he said nothing about the liquor traf fic Was this done inadvertently? No. In state after state where men and women are engaged in a death Strug gle with the liquor traffic, he was im portuned to speak, but he would not do it. His answer invariably was that he had nothing .to say on this issue. "And because of this attitude it ill befits Mr. Hughes to say there is no invisible government in connection with his candidacy because he proposes to acquiesce in . this traffic which fathers invisible government." Dr. Ira Landrlth told New Yorkers that he doubted if this state ever would go dry by its own act. "As long as you have old Manhattan at the otner end, it probably won't go dry," he said. "But you won't be alone. The other states probably will have to dry up Pennsylvania, New Jersey and several others along with you." mount issues in the 1919 general con vention.
