CANDIDATES ACTIVE
AS ELECTION HEARS
John S. Coke, Conrad S. Olson
and James Campbell Out
for Supreme Bench.
BIGELOW ASKS RE-ELECTION
Oscar XV. Horne Files for City Com
missioner, While F. C. Howell
Announces for Senator to
Succeed Mr. Olson.
Political activity was pronounced yes
terday, with the following result:
James U. Campbell, Circuit Judge, of
Oregon City, came to Portland and an
nounced to friends that he is a candi
date for the vacancy on the Supreme
Court bench.
Oscar W. Horne filed his nominating
petition as a candidate for City Com
missioner. City Commissioner Bigelow an
nounced that he will be a candidate to
succeed himself and will file his peti
tion within a few days.
F. C. Howell announced himself as a
candidate for State Senator to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
C. P. Olson, appointed to the Supreme
Court.
Such were the actual and . positive
stands taken. Then, in the way of
gossip, it was rumored that J. Francis
Lrake will run for the vacancy in the
State Senate, and that it is considered
reasonably certain that either Phil
Metschan, Jr., or John H. Burgard will
be a candidate. Also Senator I. N. Pay
was mentioned, and James B. Kerr and
Hay Barkhurst. the latter saying he
will decide Monday.
So much for the State Senatorship.
Attention is being directed to the va
cancy in the Supreme Court bench and
It promises to develop one of the warm
ly contested spots in the campaign. Jus
tice Conrad P. Olson will ask that his
name be written on the ballot. Judge
John S. Coke is also a contender, and
now comes Judge Campbell. Street
rumor has it that Fred L. Olson also
contemplates making a try for the Su
preme Court.
Democrats have made no public move
regarding the bench, but there are
whisperings that possibly Judge John
H. Stevenson might be induced to run
and then again there are rumors, from
democratic sources, that the Demo
cratic candidates for state office do not
want a Democrat running for Justice
.on the theory that a Democratic candi
date for the bench would only stir up
more opposition from the Republicans.
Mr. Horne says that he is preparing
to inaugurate an active campaign. He
has the indorsement of labor bodies and
will virtually be the labor nominee,
judging from present Indications. Mr.
Horne came to Portland in 1SS2 and in
1897 went to New Yorjc for several
years, where he was engaged in gen
eral contracting and served as a super
intendent and sub-contractor in the
construction of the first subway in
Manhattan.
In 1910 he returned to Portland, and
in 1915 he served in the Legislature as
a labor Representative In the House.
Mr. Horne has been president of the
Central Labor Council, was special
deputy president of the Bricklayers',
Masons" and Plasterers" International
Union for four years, his territory being
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
British Columbia. He i3 married and
has two children.
"My more than five years of experi
ence as a commissioner," says City
Commissioner Bigelw, in announcing
that he is a candidate, "will make it un
necessary for me to make extensive
promises as to my policy in case of re
election. My policy in the future, as
in the past, will be to scrutinize care
fully all expenditures and to consider
all legislative matters fearlessly and
decide as I consider the merits war
rant. During the entire' period of my in
cumbency 1 have conducted city af
fairs as I wouhl my own business. I
have worked conscientiously for effi
cient, clean, wholesome city govern
ment, conducted as economically as
conditions would permit, frowning
on extravagance of every kind. In
every budget session have been in
sistent on keeping the tax levy as low
as possible and still maintain effi
ciency of city service."
Mr. Bigelow was elected City Com
missioner in the first election under
the commission form of government in
1913. At that time he was in the mer
cantile business. He was a Represen
tative in the Legislature in 1911 from
Multnomah County. In 1915 he was re
elected with Mayor Baker.
During the first four years as Com
missioner Mr. Bigelow had charge of
tlie Department of Finance, which in
cluded the City Treasurer, Bureau of
Purchases and Public Market. Since
July 1. f917, he has had charge of pub
lio affairs, including the Fire Depart-

cancy in the State Senate from Multno
mah County, was born at Ulman, Mo,
July 4, 1877. He graduated from Knox
College, Galesburg. 111., and also from

in 1909. After graduating" he came to

Hit
been received by Portlanders who, by
the way, are Republicans. -
In his first request for financial as
sistance from this source, Mr. McNamee
insisted that the funds were needed to
insure the election to Congress of only
those men who were 100 per cent Amer
ican, "in accordance with the aims of
he Administration." That letter, writ
ten on the official stationery of the
Democratic National Committee, was
dated August 29. The newest appeal is
dated September 14 and is more impera
tive, in this letter, received by various
Republicans interested in the shipbuild
ing industry in the Portland district.
Mr. McNamee asserts that it would be
"calamity" for the Republicans to
grain control of either the House or the
Senate of the National Congress. He
renews his call for a campaign con
tribution and admits that "the quicker
you get it to us the more good it will
do."
In view of this continued activity on
the part of the Democratic National
organization. Republicans cannot re
frain from wondering what, if any
thing, was meant by Democrats who
proclaimed throughout the United
States at the opening of the pending
campaign that "politics is adjourned."
1'ortland Republicans regard the Mc
Namee letters and the manner of their
distribution as a base perversion of
war business for political ends.
These letters are an insult to more
than half of the voters of America."
charged one Portland man yesterday,
after having received both communi
cations from McNamee. "It is a mis
representation of the Republicans in
Congress, who have uniformly support
ed tne President and his war .pro
gramme at times when, but for that
support, some of the important meas
ures of war legislation would have
failed of enactment because of the pro
nounced opposition of Democratic mem
bers of the National law-making body.
The President went before Congress a
few days ago and asked for equal suf
frage as a war measure. This was re
jected in the Senate, which has a Demo
cratic majority, by Democratic votes.
"And now these demands for cam
paign funds, coming from the official
headquarters of the Democratic party.
can be construed as nothing less than
one of the most reprehensible attempts
ever made by a political party to exact
toll from Government contractors. This
action of the Democratic National Com
mittee should be severely rebuked by
the voters In the November election.
The text of the most recent McNamee
letter follows:
"The coming Congressional and Sena
torial elections are almost as tmpor
tant at this time as a Presidential
election would be.
"The Republicans are intensely active
in their efforts to elect a. Republican
House and Senate.
"It is the duty of all Democrats to
prevent this calamity, for it is a
calamity. When you look back over
the almost unbelievable achievements
of our Commander-in-Chief and the
accomplishments of his Administration
oyalty demands that we support him
in his efforts to prosecute the war to a
victorious finish and in the reconstruc
tion period to follow. He must remain
unhampered in the great work to be
done.
"We must keep the present Demo
cratic majority in the Senate, and in
the House, and see to it that the Presi
dent is backed up in his 'Win the War"
policy.
"We hope you will send an early
contribution to assist in carrying on
the comprehensive educational cam
paign now being conducted throughout
the country.
"The quicker you get it to us the
more good it will do.

The Americans tnrew a flood of artil
lery fire into the German lines and
moved Infantry up with machine guns.
Through the woods around them and
up to the crest of the hisrh hill line theyi
slowly edged their way for hours. When'
the top of the hill and ridge were at

narrow valleys on whose further slopes
are the defenses the Germans have
fought so hard to retain. Miles deep

trenches, it obviously was intended as
the Germans' next stop.

Much fighting for possession of the
hill centered about a farm on the
southern slop. The Americans had
taken the southern part of the farm
with a rufih and occupied the higher
ground. The Germana were forced to

well as in the woods to the west and at
other places along the line.

(By the Associated Press, 7 P. M.)
Ftghtlnff with the, ferocity of the early
days of the war, the Germans did their
utmoFt today to brlns to a halt the
American offensive.
Early this morning and in the fore
noon the Americans pushed lorwara
through a blanket of fog a yard at a
time and later in the day when the
mists lifted they drove forward a fur
ther distance against the German line.
Almost no change hat been made on
the right jiear the Meuse, but on the
left the operations of the French west
of the Argonne forest and the Ameri

Again the Germans concentrated
their greatest efforts on the center In
an effort to prevent the swinging up

would endanger yet further that part
of the army left in the Argonne woods.
Although the artillery action of the
Germans today was. terrific me vol
ume was greater than yesterday there
was a notable reduction of aerial effort.-
Only occasionally did the German
aviators accept the challenge of the
Americans today and even a bombing
expedition to Landres-Et-St. Georges,
where more than two tons or lomtw
were dropped, did not develop resist

surprising because of tbe low visibility,
but conditions in the afternoon were

who carried out 100 missions, ranging
from simple observation to bombing the
back areas. The theory of the aviators
is that the Germans have adopted a
policy of conserving their airplanes,
using them to great extent only on
cloudy days, such as yesterday. On
cloudy days they can fly by compass

when occasion demands, then disap

so escaping all but momentary obser

The American planes were an active
factor until late tonight. Before the
fog actually had lifted they were over
the German lines, machine-gunning the
men in the trenches and harassing the
transports and artillery.
Tanks were used again by the Amer

than on the first day. It was a day of
artillery action more than anything
else. Each side sent hundreds of thou

The secret of success consists of first having a definite
plan of action, and, second, in putting it over, regardless
of adverse criticism.
Respectable reactionaries and staid standpatters bewail
the "speed" of the twentieth century and question the hon
esty, sanity or both of the man who splits seconds to
double dollars.
The human brain was meant to use the man who brings
the greatest amount of happiness to the world is the man
who acquaints the most people with the fact that he has for
sale the goods they want at a price they can afford.
That applies as strongly to the professions as to the
channels of trade- The doctor who discovered a positive
cure for tuberculosis and merely allowed his friends and
neighbors to benefit by his discovery and depended upon
their word of mouth advertising would eventually secure
plenty of patients, but in the meantime thousands would
have died whom he might have saved by publishing his good
news to the world.
It applies also to dentistry- I found a way to alleviate
human suffering by making extractions of teeth painless ; I
found a system which saved me enough in "waste" to allow
me to give better service and better material to my patients
,than other dentists charging more money. I might havet
died with my secret and have been very ethical, but I had
just enough humanity and enterprise in me to publish
frankly what I could do, and then I DID IT, and the
people of several Western states have reason to be thankful
that I did so.
