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."

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.

leaders in years past, in the opinion

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

a real "war prevention bureau' ere

Richardson Also Approves.
John T. Richardson, attorney an
active republican, declared that
"felt exactly as Senator Harding abou

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.

School Board' Estimates Cost at

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.

Quaker parentage in Wilming

45 years ago. He is survived by

might. v
Democrats Take Chance. -'
The Sun maintains a staff corres
pondent in New York, where he can
be near the national democratic head
quarters,, and in announcing the
change of campaign plans to make
the west the battle ground, he says:
"In this purpose to fight with in
creasing vigor for the west is to be
found, probably, the reason for the
subsidence of the wet talk among the
democratic leaders. 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.

Once more R. W. Price, sportsman

sentative L. E. Bean, chairman of the

vene that body for the purpose of

letter to Mr. Bean last week after
