WOMEN' AFTER TAGGART Contlnued From First Page.) oted for Leonard Wood until the last two ballots when' he went over to Harding. Republican and democratic leaders n the east appear to be fairly well agreed on one proposition, and that is, that, after nil the criticism, Harding's front-porch campaign has been vindi cated. Republicans are glad now that naraing aia not start out on a coun try-wide tour, and democrats admit eorrespondlng disappointment that Cox undeitook the western swing. At the same time democratic leaders de cline to take the blame for the Cox trip, which they are convinced has proved something near a fatal mis take. ; , . Cox Fares as Hushes. Observers unite In the opinion that .Cox has fared no better on 'his west errrtrip than Hughes did four, years ngo. The east generally regards Hughes' trip west In "1916 as the' real cause of his defeat, because . he was drawn into doing and saying several things that made 'it easy for Wood row Wilson to ride. In on , the "fie kept-us-out-of-war" slogan. Admitting that the Hughes trip wss a mistake, the Cox tour is marked down as a worse one, comparable per haps with only one great event in history, Napoleon's little excursion into Moscow. Cox has been drawn Into saying many things that he could have avoided had he remained In the east. Nominated as an avowed wet, . students of the situation say, he ; would never have been ' forced Into ; such public statements as "I have al ; ways voted dry" and "the liquor . question is as dead as slavery, and T again that the republican slogan, ; "America first" is analogous to Ger- ; many s ueutschland ueber alles." j -This latter statement has stunned - nia loiiowers. They have little to . say except some scattering comment .ujm it enouta come nome. it Is an ticipated that upon his return there will be another White House con , fsrence, at which the president will o asaea to gel in with his pen ana try. to save the situation. ' There is a feeling that Mr. Wilson owes it to Governor Cox to do the utmost in the power of the adminis tration to save the day, because the democratio nominee went west over the advice of all his party leaders . simply to please the president, who insisted that the west could rescue the democratio party this year Just as it did In 1916. X,. Hope In Republican Errors. Cox's western trip may be a suc eess, but all apparently trustworthy reports which reach the east from the Pacific coast are to the contrary. As the contest stands now democratic leaders are basing their hopes on re - publican mistakes. There will be several republican errors in the last weeks of the cam- -paign, as there have been In the pre : ceding weeks, It goes without saying, ': but observers doubt that there will be enough of them to change the present trend. Straw votes from everywhere In , thai east continue to show that the ' Jialne vote was, more than a fitraw ' . if psswsy ,- , - t w-..Mm..k f tfaiiiiw tnriaiffri inBuwaWMiiafaaii dlEEN on what Is going to happen else where. ' Silent Vote In Doubt. Where will the silent votes go. is a big question. ' The Maine election seems to show that the most of it went to the republican ticket. It Is said that the silent vote this year is composed either of democrats who Intend voting the republican ticket and are keeping quiet about it in order to give all the appearance of remaining regular, or of individ uals who do not like any of the can didates. This latter class appears to be rep resented by that disconsolate citi zen who is quoted as saying recently that the present campaign is nothing but a "contest between Debs and dubs." REPUBLICAXS GAIX IX STATE New Clubs Organized.. Literature Wanted; Counties Active. Reports received at republican state headquarters indicate that the repub lican campaign In Oregon is gaining headway. With the formal opening of the campaign by Governor Harding of Iowa yesterday, with the celebration of Constitution day in many parts of the state, with the organization of campaign clubs in many counties, with demand increasing for literature and buttons, activities at state head quarters are speeding up. The. visits of Candidates Cox and Roosevelt have contributed to arous ing republican activity in many parts of Oregon. Reports from the various state committeemen and county chair men Indicate that Cox failed to make a dent in the republican ranks by his campaign-fund charges and his non partisan appeal to the Roosevelt pro- j gressives. The fact that the entire Roosevelt family Is actively supportlng'Harding and Coolldge is regarded generally by the press and the rank and file of the party as sufficient answer to the speculation as to which candidates the late colonel would be supporting were he alive and participating In the campaign today. The following quotation from the Turner Tribune is a fair example of the attitude of the press toward the Cox appeal: "Does Cox know that every living son and daughter of Theodore Roose velt are not for Cox for president, but that they are working heart and soul for the republican candidates, Harding and Coolidge. He does know. How long since he has learned to love our Roosevelt, McKlnley and Lincoln?" The past week has seen Interest aroused in the candidacy of Robert N. Stanfield for United States senator. Mr. stanfield attended meetings at Lebanon, where he was given a fine reception; visited Tillamook, where he found a great republican- revival, and was accorded an ovation at the Salem meeting Friday night, where Representative Hawley made a strong speech urging the election of a re publican senator and a letter was read from Senator McNary. giving hie unqualified endorsement to the elec tion of Mr. Stanfield. A telegram was also read from Warren G. Harding, In which the head of the national ticket urged the re. publican voters of Oregon to send Mr, stanneia to wasnington to help re store the health of the nation. SOUTH FEARS FOR DEMOCRACY Democrat Would Bet $10,000 Cox Will Not Win. Among the callers at republican headquarters was J. A. C. Frund of Dllley, who has just returned from a visit to Arkansas, .Louisiana, and Texas.. Ho reported that great apathy prevailed among the democrats ofj those states and that he found few democrats who had hopes of a victory in November. "I ran across one democrat who offered to bet 10,000 that Cox would not be elected and S25.000 that Cox would not carry one northern state," ho said. .. - Columbia for Stanfield. T. C. Watt of Columbia county re ported yesterday at state headquarters that the republicans of his county were loyally supporting Mr. Stanfield for senator.

SNAPPY TALKS PROMISED Irrigation Congress to Hear Enter tainting, Xot Dry, Speeches. One of the most snappy meetings yet held by the Oregon Irrigation con gress, was mapped out yesterday .when the programme committee held a session and drafted a list of speak ers for the two-day session to be held January 7 and 8. Not only will there be a good list of speakers, but there will be no long-winded talks and th subjects are such as are calculated to make the delegates sit up and tak notice. The executive committee has adopt ed a resolution opposing the 4 per cent interest initiative measure. No. 314. on . the November ballot. The resolution declares that if this meas ure is adopted by the people it will destroy the work of years and stop all development in reclamation. While members of the irrigation congress executive committee are opposed to this interest measure they also ex pressed themselvs as opposed to the policy of some of the banking con cerns of Oregon which take Oregon money and invest it In Pennsylvania and other securities rather than In vesting in Oregon securities.

IRRIGATION IS SOUGHT Formation of District Is Planned by Property Owners. 1IEPPNER, Or.. Sept. 18. (Special.) Preliminary steps were taken today at a meeting of property owners on Willow Rhea and Hinton creeks, called by the farm bureau for the organiza tion of an irrigation district with i view to putting in storage reservoirs on the creeks named, to confine flood water and hold it in check for Irri gation. The plan is to have surveys made as soon as the district can be legally organised and it is hoped construction can be started next spring. The project will not only insure plenty of water for present water rlcht owners throughout the season, but will also bring a considerable acreage of new land under irrigation on Hinton creek, adjacent to Heppner. The new acreage, it is estimated, will double the present area. Salem Clierrians to Entertain. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 18. (Special.)

" CORVALLIS. Or.. Sept. 18. (Spe olal.) w. C. Hawley, representative, was in Corvallls yesterday on his road to Salem. Ke was asked about the political outlook. Mr. Hawley gave it as his conviction that Hard ing would win in a walk. "There is absolutely no question at all about Oregon." said Mr. Haw ley. "I have been over most of the 1st district and through some of the other parts of Oregon and the ex pression for a change in administra tion is little short of unanimous. "I think, too, that those democrats who are counting on the usual num ber of republicans being good to George Chamberlain this year, are going to be disappointed. I talked with a prominent democrat, too, last week, a man well acquainted all over the state, a man who has mixed con siderably in politics, and he tells mo that in his opinion there will bo 14,000 democrats this year who will express their disapproval of Cham berlain by voting for Stanfield r not at all. . "As for the republicans, I have In terviewed a lot of them in the past few months and I am convinced that thousands of the so-called 'Chamber lain republicans' are going to voto this year -for Stanfield. Tho general sentiment seems to be that there is no use electing a republican unless we have a senate in agreement with him and they do not propose to tako any chances."
