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.

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

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.

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
