THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Oct. 30. Among those
, who have made extensive political
surveys in the country there will be
little serious dispute as to any of the
states put down in the following
tables as sure tor' Harding or Cox,
with the exception of Montana and
West Virginia.
Montana is given to Harding be
cause every poll taken in any section
of that state has shown a decided
drift to the republican ticket. It is
found that in the two largest cities
of the state Butte and Great Fall
there is a strong democratic defection
on the league of nations issue.
Sixty hours before the balloting be

Farmers Have Grimiice.
In the rural sections of Montana
the farmers reveal the- same an
tipathy to the present national ad
ministration that has been apparent
in all other agricultural sections of
the west, where the treasury depart
ment and the federal reserve board
arc accused of squeezing the farmers
by refusing needed credits. Then it
is found that prohibitionists in Mon
tana, as tlsewhere, are afraid of the
democratic nominee because of his
long championship of the liquor traf
fic These factors are deemed suffi
cient to give the state to the repub
lican ticket safely because democratic
margins in Montana have never been
large except in one election, that of
1896.
Information which seems reliable,
received from West Virginia today,
leads to the belief that there can be
no possible doubt as to that state
falling in line for Harding by 20.000
or better.
Of the states given to Cox. only
one is in dispute. That is Oklahoma,
which several republican leaders say
will go for Harding. Nothing has
been disclosed to justify such a claim.
Kentucky Looks Republican.
Of the doubtful list, Kentucky looks
sure for Cox, but is placed in the
doubtful column only because of the
vast advantage in the republican
turnover reviewed in all polls. An
other reason is that polls taken with-

Last Flare of Red . Light and Last
Rally to Be Held Tomorrow,
but Real Fight Is Over.
NEW YORK,' Oct. 30 (By the As
sociated Press.) The , presidential
campaign of 1920? waged principally
around the league of nations, for
mally closed tonight.
Tonight the leading figures on re
publican and democratic tickets ad
dressed audiences in the east and mid
dle west. Tomorrow they will rest.
Monday will bring the last toot of
campaign horns and the last flare of
red light. Tuesday will come the
voting.
But although on Mondey there will
.be staged the final skirmish for
votes, the real battle ended tonight.
It was marked, as every political cam
paign is marked, with expressions of
confidence in victory from rival head
quarters.
"The 'evidence of the overwhelming
republican victory hourly increases,"
was the statemtnt of Will H. Hays,
chairman of the republican national
committee. "It is now certain that
the republicans will have a minimum
total of 368 electoral votes. We will
have a greatly increased majority in
the house and a substantial majority
in the senate."
This from George White, chairman
of the democratic national committee:
"Cox and Roosevelt will win. They
will have a party majority in the
senate and house."
Socialist headquarters, while mak
ing no claim to electoral votes, pre
dicted that the party would poll the
largest vote in its history 3,000,000,
some leaders said. While asserting
that many of these ballots would
represent party converts, socialist
advocates also prophesied that many
would represent a protest vota against
imprisonment of "political prisoners,
including Eugene V. Debs," their
presidential candidate, now in fie
penitentiary for violation of tne
espionage act. .
All parties took into consideration
swelliiig of the vote by appearance
of women casting their first ballots
for president.
In his prediction for victory for
Senator Harding and Governor Cool-
idge. Mr. Hays laid claim to the fol
lowing states: California; Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Maine
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota.
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Ohio,, Oregon
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington,
West Virginia,. Wisconsin and Wyo
ming.
"In addition," he said, "the repub
licans have very much better than an
even chance to carry Arizona, Ken
tucky, Maryland and New Mexico,
with 27 additional electoral votes..
This makes 359 republican electoral
votes almost certain out of the total
of 531.
"The republican victory in Ken
tucky is certain, provided the weather
Is such that it is physically possible
for the great republican rihijority in
the mountains of eastern Kentucky to
get to the polls. That same element
enters into the result in Tennessee,
where there is a splendid chance for
the republicans. We also have
splendid opportunity to carry North
Carolina and Oklahoma. This makes
the probability of an additional 34
votes.
"The only votes democratic candi
dates are certain of:
"Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louis'
iana, Mississippi, South Carolina,
Georgia, Texas and Virginia,
Protest Vote Predicted.
"The electorate of America, which
is for. 'America first' is simply wait
ing for the opportunity to voice a
protest against inefficiency, extrava
gance and autocracy in government
and to express its complete confi
dence in the constructive ability of
the republican party in a manner
that will be heard around the world."
Mr. White, who declared tonight
he had spent the last three days
cheeking up detailed reports from
all state chairmen, asserted he saw
"no reason to alter my forecast, in

All indications, such as straw votes.
reports from editors throughout the
state and expressions of citizens in
all walks of life, point unerringly
to the fact that Harding and Coolidge
will carry Oregon. There is not the
slightest doubt as to the result in
the presidential election. Democratic
managers are ' predicting that Cox
and Roosevelt will have a safe lead
in the state, but no other kind of
statement could be expected from the
minority party.
50,000 Lead Say Republicans.
The oniy question involved in th
presidential election is the lead of
Harding over Cox, and which, if any,
counties win g- democratic. The most
conservative .republicans predict that
the republican lead will . be 20,000
and from that minimum the guesses
range up to 50,000.
A mere handful of counties are in
doubt on president. Wilson carried
practically all of the counties east
of the mountains four years ago and
he carried a few western Oregon
counties. Sentiment has so changed
since 1916 that probably all but three
or four counties will fall into the
republican column when the votes are
counted Tuesday night.
- Only one real contest presents It
self and that is the senatorial fight
between George E.. Chamberlain, in
cumbent, and R. N. Stanfield, re pub
lican nominee. Senator Chamberlain
has hitherto been elected by republi
can votes.
Personalities Are Forgotten.
In this campaign, because it is i
presidential year, republican party
managers have urged the republican
supporters of Chamberlain to forget
personalities and vote for Stanfield
in- order to help make the .United
States senate republican. ThiiS'argu
ment has been making Inroads on
Chamberlain's strength. If Stanfield
is elected he will, be carried in by
the momentum of the presidential
ticket. A etrong movement to Stan
field has been evident in the past two
weeks.
Election will be held Tuesday, with
polls open from 8 A. M. to 8 P. M.
It is expected that there will be
fairly heavly vote, the estimates
ranging from 70 to 80 per cent of the
registration. For this reason citizens !
are Urged to go to the polls as early
as possible. Banks and public offices
will be closed, as usual on election
day. Schools are not affected. .
MtArtkur Alone la Opposed.
It is generally agreed that the
three republican candidates'for con
gress will be re-elected W. C. Haw
ley in the first district, N. J. Sinnott
in the second district and C. N. Mo
Arthur in the third district. Mr. Mc
Artnur is the only one of the trio
who is experiencing opposition.
Contending for the election with
Representative McArthur is Dr. Es

And juvenile Portland ran, collect
ively, hundreds of miles last night,
not knowing, of course, that the blue

been children themselves once upon a
time. It is a question as to who had
the most fun, the youngsters or the
police.
In accordance with orders from
Chief of Police Jenkins, extra men
were on duty from dark through the
night. Their orders were to let the
youngsters have all the fun they
wished, as long as property was not
molested. But the night, compared
with hallowed e'ens of years ago, was
safe and sane as a denatured
Fourth of July.
The police had orders to clear the
streets of youngsters at 8 o'clock. It
was after that time when depreda
tions were reported, but Portland is
wilderness at night, with convent
ent dark alleys which conceal as well
i a mountain canyon. '
in tne nre department all was se

joke. Halloween or any other time.
and at a late hour last night it was
reported that all alarms received had
been bona fide calls. The firemen, an.
ticipating a night of perhaps fruit
less energy, were agreeably disap
pointed. Which shows that juveniles
in Portland have the correct sense of
humor.

Special Deputy Does Bit of Sleuth
ing and Believes He Has Cap
tured Clever Operator.
I
With a special deputy watching
him through the window, curious to
check up en his modus operandi,
Herman Burcher, alias Charles Ans-
bach, cashed one too many bogus
checks last night, and police believe
they have their hands on one of the
most clever operators In the west.
Burcher dropped into the jewelry
store of O. Korber, 287 Alder street.
purchased an expensive watch and
offered a check for $100 In payment.
Manager J. J. Mazuroski noted that
the check was on the Continental
National bank of Los Angeles, and
was properly certified. He cashed it,
but in conversing with Burcher, who
was attired in the uniform of a
private in the. medical corps, drew
that the man was stationed at Van
couver. In the course of conversa
tion, Burcher referred to the troop
of cavalry at Vancouver to which he
claimed to be attached.
Knowing that the Vancouver post
never had been a cavalry post, the
manager's suspicions were aroused.
Burcher was shadowed as he left the
store, so that when he entered the
place of business of H. H. Vine, Third
and Washington streets, Mazuroski,
who is a specialdeputy, was watching
through the window. According to
the deputy, Burcher went through the
same procedure as before, purchasing

CLASS WAR TO BE ENDED
French Proposal to Place Produc

BY ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
Lenine has a new enemy, one that
meets him on his own ground. It is
so new it has not yet a fixed name,
but it might be called the new syndi
calism. To the power of the bolshe
viki it is more dangerous than the
Polish army,. General Wrangel or any
other military force. For it is not
fighting bolshevism with arms but
with an idea.
This new syndicalism is French. It
has grown out pf the French labor
movement -and has already knocked
out bolshevism in France.
It has abandoned the plan for world
revolution.
It no longer considers the dictator
ship of the proletariat either feasible
ordesirable.
, It is ready to drop the class war.
France Evolves) Practical Plan.
. In the place of these three funda
mentals' of Leninism it plans to syn
dicalize industry according to a new
idea.' Instead of making a class, af
fair out of it, as Lenine did, and ar
riving at the dictatorship of the pro
letariat over the bloody road of civil
wtr. the keen French intelligence has
evolved the more practical plan of
pooling the interests of producer and
consumer and working out a pro
gramme of nationalization without
class war.
The idea has "been germinating for
a year, during which the workmen of
western Europe have become increas
ingly sceptical of any permanent re
sults coming out of the bolshevik ex
periment in Russia. Meanwhile they
have been giving the bolsheviki their
moral support, and it is only within
the last few months, when they
learned ' from . their emissaries that
bolshevism was a failure, that they
have turned their backs on it.
Bolshevism Ghastly Failure.
Lenine cannot complain that the
syndicalist workers of western Eu
rope did not give him a fair chance.
First the English, then the Italian,
the German and French workmen sent
delegates to Moscow and returned one
alter another to tell their fellows that
bolshevism had made a ghastly
failure. "When the French delegates re
turned a few weeks ago the French
Confederation of Labor (Confedera
tion Generale du Travail) held a spe
cial meeting at Orleans, where the
question of bolshevism and adhesion
to Lenine's third internationale were
thoroughly discussed and turned down
by a vote of 1478 to- 602.
They held this meeting expressly to
hear the report of the French work-,
men delegates who went to Moscow
at the invitation of the bolshevik
government. They had the question
squarely before them and knew they
were deciding the fate of bolshevism
in France. They turned away, from
Leninism because they believed it had
failed and because they knew they
had a plan of their own, a syndicalist
not a socialist plan, for arriving at
the same results in another way.
Broadly expressed, their idea is to
take the control of production out of
the hands of the capitalists and fi-

here today against Oregon Agricul

quarters of torrid battling to turn the
trick. The score was California 17,
Oregon Agricultural college 7.
Up to the final 10 minutes of the
final quarter of as strenuous a game
as ever was played on a northwest
field, the score stood horse and horse.
Each team had scored one touchdown
and kicked one goal The brawny
Aggie line was standing steadfast be
fore, the rushes of the California
backs. 1
Then came the break. As the
orange bedecked rooters in the Ore-,

from mid-field began a goalward
march. "

- Sprott and Muller, on a double
pass, on which Sprott after receiving
the ball from Quarterback Erb,
hurled it eight yards to Muller,
gained the Agricultural college 20
yard line. Sprott shot through for
five yards. Toomey lost a yard, but
Sprott on a delayed pass to Toomey
made that up and eight more around
the Aggie right end.
With five yards to go and four

Sprott and Morrison sprang head
down into the orange line and three
times thi orange forwards threw
