WORLD COURT ADVOCATED Paris Pact Declared Already to Have Proved failure; Plight of Poland Is Cited. than any other one thing to preserve international peace." He followed the train of thought expressed by Senator Harding in de claring that "an association of diplo mats and politicians the league of nations), whose determinations were sure to be influenced by consider ations of expediency and national selfishness." would be the weakest possible body to decide the fate of a people or peoples. K. K. Kubli. state representative and well known as a constructive representative of republicanism, de clared the nominee had "hit the nail on the head." "While some may assert that he is deviating from the plat form of the' party, as adopted at Chi cago, a careful perusal of the scheme, as I understand it. would disprove such accusations." said he. "A ju dicial tribunal most certainly could accomplish more than one governed by diplomats whose ulterior motives could not help but guide their de cisions. The plan is feasible and practical. Let us hope something ;s built on the foundation offered." DEMOCRACY DECIDES TO SHIFT CAMPAIGN Western States to Be Made . Battle Ground. TWO CHANCES CONSIDERED RAIN FORECAST FOR TODAY Senator Harding's declaration of op position to the Wilson league and pita for development of a world court upon the foundation of The Hague tribunal, incorporating certain fea tures of the league of. nations was welcomed by the republicans of Ore gon, according to statements made by representative, -republicans of Portland last night, after careful pe rusal of Senator Harding's speech. The Portland party leaders were unanimous in the belief that the league of nations already has proved Itself impracticable and that the world could plan will mean interna tional relationship free from danger ous underground diplomacy and make possible a union -of nations to prevent war, without sacrificing any of the tsovereignty of individual states. Satisfaction was expressed that Senator Harding had taken a strong and definite stand upon this interna tional problem and confidence was expressed that, with the aid of a re publican congress, the republican nominee. If elected, will take steps . 1 V vi .w aKn.it a U-nftiahlP and efficient world court as a step toward the establishment of world peace. Harding Right, Says Logan. "Senator Harding is right," was the unqualified statement of John V. Logan, prominent attorney and re publican, when asked to comment on the address of the republican presi dential nominee delivered from bis front porch yesterday afternoon. "After the shooting and the tu mult of the Paris conference." he continued, "the serious, sober second thought of the world desires a world court, independent of the racial and political jealousies which dominate the executive branches of all govern ments. The executive power in the government should not singly or in conjunction with th'e executive power of other countries, backed by bris tling bayonets, have the right to in volve the world in war, over, for in stance, a disputed boundary line in the Interior of Europe or Asia. "A court. -such as that outlined by Senator Koot, like the supreme court of the United States, which was an anomaly and a novelty of the age in which it was organized, would be free from political entanglements. This is the reason why the fear i growing that the league of nations, cursed by the jealousies of ambitious countries, will meet the same fate as the holy alliance of unholy memory." Judge Carey Gratified. The plan of devoloplng a strong International structure upon the foun dation of The Hague tribunal, taking the best of the features of the league, was Mrongly praised by Judge Charles II. Carey, one of Portland's most ca-nest advocates of the formulation of some plan looking to world peace. "J. have been very much in favor cf some Plan for bringing about world peace," he said, "and I sin cerely hope that an organization to enfoice peace can be brought about. While 1 favored strongly the Lodje resolutions 1 would have been will ing to take the league A-.iyway, with me nope 01 improving it irom witnin. "However. I believe that the pros- poet of doing anything with the league now is slight and feel conti nent that with The Hague tribunal as a foundation some workable plan can be evolved. We must not fail to profit by the lesson of the war and take steps towards world peace. I am glad to see Senator Harding take hold of the problem in the stronir wav he has and feel confident that under his leadership and with the aid of a re publican administration a splendid Fiat can oe worked out." Siiper-Stnte Not Wanted. Clarence R. Hotchkiss. republican nominee for presidential elector, said- "While attending the American university in Paris I made a carefu study of the league of nations, and I came to the conclusion that it would be a breeder of wars and not a pre venter of wars. I believe Mr. Hard tng is on the right track when he proposes a judicial tribunal rather than a super-state wh'ch would neces sitate that every nation surrender a part of its .sovereignty to become members thereof. Senator Harding's position favoring development of a great workable court, with sufficient "teeth" to make It effective, is the natural outgrowth of the best ideas for a world court. born in the minds of great republican leaders in years past, in the opinion or Mrs. .Lee Davenport, who is a mem ber of the republican state executive committee and for the last two years has been chairman of the women's advisory committee .for the party. "Senator Harding's speech should make plain the position of the repub lican party." she said, "which has been and is for an efficient workable world tribunal in the interests of peace, but with America's interests.! adequately protected." fcBft Solution Offered. Herbert Gordon, state representa tive and prominent in republican circles, felt that the plan as outlined recently by Senator Lilthu Root was feasible, but declared it his hope tha Senator Harding's suggestion be worked out. He said: "The league of nations, with re , , nervations, for a time appeared to be our sole hope for escape from entangr ling alliances created by the Wilso league. However. If on the frame - work of The Hague tribunal there can be built a judicial body to administe International justice, that would b by far the best solution of the prob lem offered. v J. J. Crossley, attorney, former cap tain In the army and prominent in re publican circles, believes that "such a rlan offers a refreshing solution o a difficult task. "The league of n tions as brought back from Paris has already failed." he said. "That wa proved conclusively in the case Poland. The plan offered by.Ellh Hoot, which would save us from sur rendering our sovereign rights, ha to me been the best solution, but un questionably the suggestion of Sena tor Harding can be made to errbod the best thought in all such plans an a real "war prevention bureau' ere ated." Richardson Also Approves. John T. Richardson, attorney an active republican, declared that "felt exactly as Senator Harding abou the matter. An organization bui around the present Hague tribuna empowered through Judicial authorit to render decisions as a high court o law, .would unquestionably do jjior STORM LIKELY TO COXTIXIE THROUGHOUT MONDAY. Ocean Storms Credited With Bring ins Precipitation Inland. Light ,at Baker. Those who accepted tha prediction that there would be "no rain Sunday" seem doomed to disappointment, ac cording to the last official prediction of yesterday. The weather bureau declares the rain storm which cov ered the city last evening probably would continue throughout today and Monday. Precipitation was light at Baker yesterday, though the district there had received a good supply of rain Prospect in East as Whole Seems JCot So Good as In West; Liquor and League Factors. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Aug. 28. Failure of the campaign slogan "Coxsure" to take serious hold in the east, together with the addition of several million women voters, has caused a complete revision of democratic campaign plans. The battle ground is to be shifted from the east to the west, where, Woodrow Wilson won his victory on "he kept us out of war"" four years ago, ac cording to semi-official announce ment from national headquarters in New York. This is as Mr. Wilson would have it. but not until within the last few days could the Cox managers, deter mined to make the fight almost en tirely on Governor Cox's record as the champion of liquor, see any hope in the west. The authority for the foregoing statement is entirely democratic, being the Baltimore Sun, always democratic and a newspaper support- ALL REPUBLICAN VOTERS MAY AFFILIATE WITH CAM PAIGN CLUB WITHOUT COST.

School Board' Estimates Cost at $12,000; Labor Favors Ex penses Involved. VANCOUVER. Wash., Aug. 28. (Special.) The Vancouver school dis trict, which takes in all of the city and a little outside, will have free textbooks soon, if the voters so will t at a special election to be held in the high school building September 8. To install free textbooks vyill require $12,000. In addition to this levy the school directors will ask for authority to sell bonds for J12.500 for general purposes. Members of the Central Labor coun cil last night appeared before the school board and asked that Vancou ver put in free textbooks, as many cities in the state have done so, and that many districts in the county also furnish free books. The school year will start this month. 6o it was de cided to hold the election as soon as possible, that this year's books wilW not have to be bought by parents oi the school children. The cost of school books has risen considerably this year, and many books are being changed, making it necessary to spend considerable money. - Many have been in favor of free books for years, and there is strong indication that there will be few to oppose it.

William Henry Countlss, for 35 years a resident of Portland, died suddenly August 20 at the age of 79. He was born of Quaker parentage in Wilming ton. Del., and came to Oregon 45 years ago. He is survived by one sister. Clara Countlss of Wilmington, and two daughters, Mrs. Callie E. Garland and Mrs. Anna D. Sorenson of Portland; also two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. rr.

The west, with a great sentiment favorable to the league and progressive domestic pol icies, is dry. Most of it is bone-dry. It is not the part of politics for the democrats to be demanding wet legislation- from national headquarters when it is fighting for the western country. As between loss of votes in the east by not shouting wetness and loss of votes in the west by tak ing a wet stand, the democrats evi dently have determined to chance the loss in the east.'" Cox Considered Wet. Apart from believing that loss in the east will be less serious in its effect on the final result, because the east as a whole does not seem as good a prospect as the west as a whole, the democrats probably reason that the wets who would be made mad in the east by silence are fewer than the drys who would be made mad In the west by a wet declara tion. The strong wets in the east have it in their heads, anyhow, that Cox is wet, while Harding is dry, judged by their records, and most of them who would vote, for Cox under any circumstances are likely to do so as things are, but some drys In the west favorable to Cox on the league and because of his progressive record, might be driven away if he came out strongly for the wets.' Now that women have been given the vote throughout the country, that policy probably will be followed rigidly, for the general belief is that woman suffrage will strengthen the dry . voting power in the east. In other words, the wets will be a smaller percentage of the total num ber of voters in the east than when only men voted and there will be less reason for appealing to the wet vote at the risk of losing votes that might be got od the league and progressive issues. FISH ATTACK RENEWED STATE BOARD ASKED AGAIN TO HEAR CHARGES. . t Legislative Action Questioned and R. W. Price Wants Sew Game Commission. Once more R. W. Price, sportsman and president of the Oregon Hotel Men's association, has written Repre sentative L. E. Bean, chairman of the legislative fish and game investigat ing committee, asking that he recon vene that body for the purpose of hearing charges against the commls sion. Mr. Price addressed a similar letter to Mr. Bean last week after the inquisitorial body had adjourned sine die over. the protest of two wem bers. The reason given was that action of the legislature after ap pointment of the committee covered all the territory and that all con cerned in last fall's controversy had been vindicated. Mr. Price in his latest communlca tion asks that the committee be caned together again or that Mr. Bean. Senator Norblad and Representative Cross resign and allow the presiding officers of the legislature to "appoint representatives in their stead who will be. more interested in serving the people than in serving the salmon packers and protecting their servile commissioners from exposure." The other two committee members are Representative Hare and Senator La.ch.mund. School Commission Meets. OLYMPIA, Aug. 28. Plans for " nasa3 3 i . a i v. w . ii m UTU 1. 2. 3. 4.
