THE MORNING OREGONIAy; SATURDAY,' OCTOBER '23, 1920 COX. ID HARDING v CAPTURE ST. LOUIS OEZOI D o Each Candidate Receives Ovation From" People. Vassar x Union Suits MISSOURI IS UNCERTAIN Ohio Governor Lacks Dignity and Poise, While Senator Impresses Voters as Being Statesman ' BY WALTER L. TOOZE JR. CHICAGO, Oct. 17. (Special cor respondence.) Senator Harding was at St- Louis Saturday night and spoke from the rostrum occupied by Gover nor Cox the Monday night previous. The writer heard both addresses, ob served the demonstration given each candidate and was able to form a few Impressions by reason of the same. The Cox meeting was very demon strative, as was the Harding meet ing, but, there seemed to be more noise at the Cox meeting than when the republican nominee was,, there. This might have been due to the fact that the democratic organization had Its cheering better organized, or it may be due to the fact that there were more rabid partisans present at the Cox meeting than were at the Harding meeting. The demonstration given the name of President "Wilson at the Cox gathering was one of the greatest I have ever heard, which might indicate that the gathering of Missourians was largely composed of dyed-in-the-wool democrats. How ever, this does not mean that the crowd at the Harding meeting was not demonstrative, for it was, and hugely so at that. It was my impres sion that the enthusiasm at the Sat urday night rally was more spontane ous and real than that given the Ohio governor. Republican Crowd Larger The republican gathering was larg er, if possible, than the democratic gathering, but at both meetings there were more people in the Coliseum than made for comfort. But to be perfectly frank, it appeared to the writer that insofar as enthusiasm was concerned it was about a fifty-fifty break between the two. This was not true at East St. Louis, for the Cox meeting there was decidedly more enthusiastic. There was a noticeable difference in the city's reception to the two can didates. As Cox came into St. Louis there was no particular notice taken of him until he arrived at the Col liseum; but Harding's entry into the city, as well as his appearance at the appointed place of speaking, was in the nature of a triumphal entry. He was greeted in the manner that Amer ican crowds usually greet a president. The difference could be felt. There was a dignity about the whole thing which could not fail but impress. This is a difference which has marked the campaign of both candidates every where they have been. Hardlas Treated (as Stateaman. There can be no honest difference of opinion as to the earnest regard in which the republican nominee is held by the people of America, as Judged by their respect and admiration shown wherever he has appeared. . He is treated as a great statesman, a man of great consequence, wherever he goes. There is not the "rah rah" at mosphere which surrounds most of the Cox meetings. His seriousness and sober-mindedness and his ear nest discussion of the vital problems of the day, free from all petty mud slinging and carping criticism, make a decided and lasting impression upn his hearers. He does not appeal to the passions and prejudices of the classes, nor does he engage in levity. On the other hand. Cox is a sensa tionalist; he has and uses every trick of the political "barn-stomer"; his at titude before his audience breeds fa miliarity: he lacks dignity and .poise. His attitude would be fitting for a candidate for sheriff, but it tends to lower the dignity which should at tach to the great office of president of the United States. If we could judge what he might do as president by his conduct upon the stump, we could not help but conclude that his administration would be filled with class legislation, with appeals to the passions and prejudices of the people. His words, as well as his attitude, do not Instill in the careful thinker Con fidence in his ability; he seems to lack depth. Cox Igcnorea Great Iaauea, At St. Louis the Ohio governor de Voted most of his time to attacks upon Will Hays, Senator Harding, Senator Lodge and others. He discussed the league of nations, but he did not say anything new with reference to it He wholly failed to take up any of Ha c n i , rainntptiptinn nrnhlnma i n which America is and must be vitally interested, except to say that he be lieved a farmer should sit upon sev eral of the big government commis sions, a matter about which most peo ple agree, whether they are democrats or republicans. On the other hand. Senator Harding discussed domestic questions to a large extent, and his speech was wholly free from petty mud-slinging. Harding made the best Impression. As I witnessed the meeting of Gov ernor Cox I got the feeling that Mis souri was hopelessly democratic, but having had the opportunity of seeing the other side of the question, I am on the fence. St. Louis is admittedly republican by a large majority, and it has always been, the fight of the democrats to come to St. Louis with a sufficient majority outside to wipe out the republican advantage there. It is usually figured that the demo crats must come" into St. Louis with at least 60.000 majority to be certain of winning. It would not be at all surprising this year if "the myste rious stranger" were counted among the electoral votes in the republican column. Senatorial Situation Complex. There is a real fight on in Missouri over the United States senatorship, with Senator Spencer, republican, hav ing the fight of his life to retain his seat. But the republicans of Missouri seem to be loyally behind Spencer, and no doubt he will secure consid erable democratic support owing to the fight of Senator Reed, democrat, against the "Wilson regime, particu larly on the league of nations issue. However, there is nothing certain about Spencer's election, and the re publicans run the danger of loslixg a vote in the senate owing to this Missouri situation, wMch makes Jt all the more important for northern re publican spates to vote the ticket Btra-Lgni- LONG-EAREDJBUNNY GONE (Continue d-From First Page.) trict where 45.000 acres are in full bearing. In this combined area of reclaimed aridity, ranchers have little patience with wheat crops. For the sandy soil grows tremendous crops of alfalfa as soon as the water touches it and alfalfa connotes the winter feeding and finishing of herds upon herds of sheep and cattle. . "Our garden produce is from two A worth-while $60 Suits Fifth at Alder 4 D o 0E30I Sam'l Rosenblatt IOQOE to three weeks earlier on the market than that of your Williamette valley' boasted a Umatilla citizen to the ex cursionists. "Ours is the foremost stock feeding district, with the pos sible exception of that of Ontario, anywhere in eastern Oregon or the northwest." The latter claim appears to be fully substantiated by the operation of a 2000-acre ranch by Swift Co. near Stanfield, where the packers' bring thousands of head to winter and fatten upon the store of hay and for age. And it is near Stanfield also that the Beemingly limitless acres of the Stanfield home ranch sweep down to the basin of Butter creek comprising one of the largest sheep operations on the Pacific coast. The same serene confidence in the future, a confidence that is backed by willingness to work for the fruition of dreams, marks this section of Umatilla county, as it has marked every county and com munity visited by the trade special. The part that Portland is to play in developing the thousands of unpro ductive acres is not clearly apparent, so far as definite plana are concerned, but both visitors and hosts agree that a closer acquaintance and under standing of mutual problems will serve not only eastern Oregon but the entire state. Trip Decides Sneceaa. During the afternoon the excur sionists were taken on a tour of the county from Stanfield to Umatilla, on the Columbia river, and back to Her miston, where they were entertained at a banquet and boxing smoker given in their honor. At 11:60 to night the special will depart for Port land, Its aix-day tour of the eastern counties completed and the opinions of its members decidedly revised. "This has been the most successful visit of the sort ever sponsored by the Portland Chamber of Commerce," said Nathan Strauss, chairman of the committee, "and its various lessons have been well learned. We now know at first hand that the eastern Oregon country is not only prodactive and progressive but that- Its possibil ities have scarcely begun to be real ized, and Portland can do no less than to pledge to these fellow cltlsens and charm guests Get the Habit of Taking Sunday Dinner at the Portland Hotel OjE" 3, BkgaiaPplAj?'.
