"1(5 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 22, 1920 ROOSEVELT IT S DQUE WHATEVER Democratic Nominee Is Sure of Party Success. DR. LOVEJOY INTRODUCES Candidate Believes Women Will Break Away From Parly and Hunt for Principle. (Continued From First PagO with several score of the faithful at an informal reception. According to schedule, Mr. Roose velt leaves Portland via the Southern Pacific at 1 o'clock tonight, bound for San Francisco. He is tentatively scheduled to make. 20-min.ute talks at Roseburg and Ashland and may find it possible to greet the citizens of Medford and Grants Pass, it was said. Rrsrret 1m Exprcucd. Opening his address by expressing regret that he could not carry out the original programme which called for meetings in several other Oregon cities, eaying. "I have learned better tln ever before the truth of the old axiom that It is impossible to be 'n two places at the same time" and 'Possession is nine points of the law, for my Washington friends seized me and would not let go." '"I want to start off by making a prophecy," he continued. "I recognize that the State of Ore gon is claimed as absolutely safe by the republican leaders; but on the other hand, a large number of inde pendent observers, who have studied the situation, have stated it as their opinion that the electoral vote of - Oregon must be placed in the doubtful column. If these independent observ ers are right, as I believe them to be, my prophecy is definite that Oregon will be found casting the majority of its votes on November 2 for the demo cratic ticket. Voter Trains Their Heads. 1 base this prophecy on two great big fundamental facts in our modern public life and political contests. These two facts are scarcely open to dispute. Cither one of them is suffi cient to bring my prophecy true with the assistance of both of them there can be no room for doubt. "The first of these truths Is .that today, more than ever before in our national history, the voters -of the United States .-.re us'ng their heads. It is very evident in every state of the union that narrow partisanship is becoming less and less prevalent. It is equally evident that what might be called inherited partisanship is also passing away. A generation ago a very large proportion of the voters of the nation, in both the democratic and republican parties, were partisans because their fathers or their grand fathers had belonged to a particular party. People inherited their political faith with as great or even more reg ularity than they inherited the old homestead or their father's watch. Dnys of Duels Gone. "Many elements contributed in the old days to this unfortunate tendency. but the greatest factor probably was the existence of rancor and bad feel ing between political opponents. A hundred years ago people in the United States used to fight duels over politics. The feeling ran high prior to elections, and violence was not an exception. The fighting of the civil war did little to eradicate bad feeling "But as these later years have passed by, this old antagonism has j largely disappeared, and with Its dis appearance we are losing, gradually but surely, an antiquated and un American method of voting- a ticket because "grandpa" did. "I am perfectly willing to let two classe's in the community vote for Senator Harding this year, without any effort to call them away. Those who have studied the relative merits of the two platforms, who have studied the relative merits of the two candidates, and who after that are honestly of the opinion that Sen atdr Harding would make the best president for the next four years, should vote for him. So, also, those who are guided by the opinions of their republican grandfathers and would vote for him anyway. It would be useless to argue with that type of mind. Conviction Vote Wanted. "I do not ask the vote of any man. democratic or republican, unless it be a. vote of conviction. "It is because I am so certain of the appeal which democratic ideals are making this year to those who are willing to use their individual judgment that I give this as one of the great reasons for my prophecy of democratic success in this, state this year. "The other great reason is that the American people are on the whole a pretty wise people, and that they will not be fooled or misled by lies or misstatements; and the campaign of the republican leaders, as disclosed thus far, is so full of misrepresenta tions that the voters have plenty of time to discriminate to call the bluff to discover the truth, and to p-unish those who are the guilty parties. Methods Held Despicable. "I suppose it is because the demo cratic campaign has put the republic ans on the defensive that they are driven to the use of despicable meth ods. Let me give you an example. During the last week I have been demolishing the silly argument abou England being able to outvote u six to one in the league of nations I have shown, first of all, that it is the council of the league which i the true governing body, and tha in that council the whole British empire has but one vote, just the same as th.e United States; and I have shown that while in the assembly, a very large body which has primarily only recommendatory powers, five of Ureat Britain's dominions, like Can ada. South Africa and Australia, each have a vote, the United States of America will undoubtedly have the support of twice as many of our neighboring and friendly republics in the West Indies and South America. I cited, for instance, the fact that the republic of San Domingo is at the present time being administered by the United States navy, and that as the interests of the two countries are closely bound up together, the votes of both countries would undoubtedly be found in the same column. "The same thing is true of the re public of Haiti, though In that par ticular case they have a president and cabinet of their own. Interest Declared Akin. "It is true also that the interests of other republics, such as Cuba, Pana- to ours that we shall be of mutual support to each other in the assembly of the league of nations. "What I am driving at Is this: The above simple and clear statement got under the skin or tne partisan re publican leaders to such an extent, and under the skip particularly of the partisan republican press, that they sent someone to the state de partment the other day and misrepre sented me. saying that I had said that the United States had control over the governments south of us.' A clev erly worded story appears from Washington, making It appear that the state department has denied my claim about these republics in the league of nations.. I am glad that the state department has denied the absolutely false statement given to them as coming from me. I wholly agree with the state department. I reiterate exactly what I said before that the United States will have voting side by side with it in the league of nations, not six states but at least twice that num ber, and this because of the simple fact that these little republics have the same kind of interests that we have and that it is even more certain that we will all be voting the same way than that Canada, Australia and South Africa will be found voting with England. Gaiue on Level Soueht. "That is a very good illustration of the kind of misrepresentation to which they have been driven. By they I mean the present people in con trol of the republican campaign. That kind of campaigning is not acceptable to the voters of this nation to the voters of any political party, and they will show their resentment when they are put to it. "I believe in playing this game on the level in giving a square deal even to one's opponent. That is the other reason why I am very certain that the people of Oregon are going to put the state in the democratic col umn in November.". Dr. Love joy Confident. Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, who in troduced Mr. Roosevelt, displayed no misgivings as to the result of the campaign. This foreknowledge of the fact that our next vice-president is seated on this platform ii not due to the gift of prophecy," she explained. "I know this simply because I am a. woman and last Wednesday the leg islature of the state of Tennessee im mortalized itself by enfranchising the women of .this nation." The high cost of living and shoddy goods at exorbitant prices have made women cautious and when they shop at the political bargain counter they will be looking for quality and will want to know Just what they are getting for their votes, she continued. "Women will not vote for a man who hides his political light under a bushel," she asserted. "They will not believe he has any light. They will suspect that it is a two-candle-power Instead of an arc light. There are a lot of things that women will not do. They will not follow submissively behind a political band wagon whether It is on the right or the wrong road. Women are Inquisitive. They will want to know what is in the wagon and where it is going. They will not say, "My party, may it be always right, but right or wrong, my party.' "These are a few of the things that women will not do, and there are other things as disconcerting that they surely will do. By their righteous independence they will help to put the ideals upon which this nation was founded into practice and thereby re deem the promise of its founders to the people of the world. Several Held Targets. "The worst fears and prophecies of the political bosses are already mate rializlng. Mary Hay of New York is probably the strongest republican woman in the country. She was chair man of the republican women's na tional committee, from which she re signed in order to be free to do her political duty in her own home state, and to prevent. If possible, the re election of Mr. Wadsworth, one of the most powerful republican senators in the reactionary group. And Senator Brandegee what will happen to Sen ator Brandegee? The women of Connecticut will probably send him back to his own front porch, where he can stand pat for the rest of his days without doing any damage to the country. "There never was a time when this nation needed progressive statesmen more than it does today. The ferment of revolution is working in the world and rapid evolution is. the only thing that will counteract this movement. This is a critical time in the history of our nation. We need men in high places who are conscious of this men ace and who have a sympathetic knowledge of its underlying causes. We need such men as Mr. Roosevelt, he belongs to a progressive family. His great-grandfather was progres sive, and as a member of the New York assembly had a vdice In the rat ification of the constitution of the United States." NEW PARTY CALL IS G I V F r J WAS fJGTOf-J ROOSEVELT ADDRESSES ELKS Reception at Vancouver Cordial, but Xot Over-Enthusiastic. VANCOUVER. Wash., Aug. 21.-T-(Special.) Franklin D. Roosevelt, vice-presidential candidate on the democratic ticket, spoke here for 15 minutes tonight in Esther Short park, many present being Elks attending the state convention. W. H. Hornl broolt presided. Mr. Roosevelt said. among other things, that the platform of the democratic party was English, while the republican platform was a jumble of words from the dictionary thrown into a hat and labeled a platform. He declared Mr. Harding was in with the bosses in Ohio. While Mr. Roosevelt was given a warm welcome, he did not create the enthusiasm that the democrats ex pected, and the Elks did not go wild cheering him.. SOUL LOSES TO STOMACH Yakima Teacher Avers Salary In adequate to Buy Food Demanded. YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) That it might be better for her soul to remain a teacher, but that her stomach demanded better food than a teacher's salary would buy, was the reason stated by ,Miss Irene Molander for her resignation a couple of days ago from her place as a teacher in the Yakima schools. Miss Molander, it was stated, thought she could tide over the sum mer vacation writing life insurance, and upon trying found she could make $500 in a single month.

Although the census bureau today announced that Pierce county has increased 23,315 since 1910, there was no jubilation over the growth in the county courthouse. The county census, announced at 144,127, will re duce the pay of every county official from $3600 to $3000 a year. A new state law provides that counties must have a population of 200,000 before officials can be paid $300 a month. WRECK KILLS INFAJMT Seven-Months-Old Baby Only Vic tim In Centralla Accident.

Call for a convention of the farmer-labor party to nominate can didates for state offices and United States senator was authorized today at a meeting of the state central com mittee held in Seattle. It was also voted to hold a congressional con vention in each of the five districts at the same time, but this was not incorporated in the call. . The state convention wHl be held in Seattle on Tuesday, September 14, primary election day, as required by law. The call is signed by David C. Coates, state chairman of the farmer labor party; C. J. France, state chair man of the committee of 48, and A. W. Swigert, acting state manager of the non-partisan league of Wash ington. Each of the signers affixed a statement to the call to the effect that he signed by authorization of the organization he represented. Parties Work Together. The call was voted upon with very little discussion, it being the unani mous decision that the membership of the triple alliance, non-partisan league and committee of 48 desired such action. Under the decision of the delegates the three organizations will function as one for the purpose of placing a ticket in the field, al though their action will have no ef fect upon the internal affairs of any of the three. D. C. Coates explained that after the convention the three bodies would care for their own af fairs as they always had and that the various persons who acted in the con vention did so as individuals who Were, members of the new party. The delegates present were Coates, as state chairman of the farmer labor party, and Margaret Deather age, Tracyton, as vice-chairman; G. I Mason, Tacoma; M. H. Noonan, Brem erton; Mrs. Jessie Bullock Kastner. Tacoma; William Young, Yakima, and George F. Johnson Bellingham. Rail Men Help Republicans. The railway men's welfare league did not join in the call, and will not be represented at the state conven tion. The railway men have, filed their candidates in the republican primaries, under instructions of the Yakima convention. Tom Corkery of Spokane is the candidate of the rail way men for congress in the 5th dis trict; H. Alvin Moore, for congress in the 1st district, and Forest L. Hud son, for United States senator. . Moore and Hudson have stated that if de feated for the nominations for which they have filed they will abide by the results of the republican primary and support the successful candi dates. ' County conventions will be held by the farmer-labor party throughout the state on primary election dav to nominate county and legislative can didates. National Field Invaded. ""The feature of the call issued today to nominate presidential electors in this state. It is the policy of the non-partisan league not to function in national politics, and in North Da kota and Minnesota, for example, where the league is most active, its candidates are running for state or county offices on either the repub lican or democratic ticket, which nec essarily must elect presidential elect ors of the party under which it seeks to gain state and county control. In many states the farmer-labor party will not have presidential elec tors, but the Washington state com mittee voted today to nominate can didates for every office, on the theory that if it can win in the state it can just as easily name its own presiden tial electors. With this result In view telegrams were - sent to the head quarters of the third party In Chi cago requesting Parley P. Christen sen and Max Hayes, candidates for president and vice-president on the farmer-labor ticket, be sent to Wash ington state to deliver speeches in the principal cities. Candidates Touring State. William Short, president of the state federation of labor, will make a state-wide tour in the interests of the party, and Robert Bridges, who is to be nominated for governor, is already canvassing the state. Each county organization will be entitled to representation by delegates in the state convention on the following basis: "Five delegates from each joint county convention and one additional delegate for each 100 members in good standing of the organizations signing this call or major portion thereof, on the first of September, 1920, in said county. Where a county convention does not send a delegate for each vote It is entitled to in the convention under this call, such dele gates as are sent shall be empowered to cast the full vote of each county. "Delegates will be furnished cre dentials by such county convention to be presented to the credentials com mittee of the state convention."

They quit at the end of the first half day, asserting that the food was improperly cooked. They were arrested on complaint of Matt Eagan, the company's manager.
