before any of the aspirants for

f.eld. la still going strong by reason
of the fact that no opposition of
any possible consequence has yet
appeared against him. Probably
there will be none. Nor will Dun
can have an opponent for tha third
party nomination.
Considering the fact that a seat
la the United States senate ia at
take among all theae candidates.
and that the people of almost every
state in the nnion usually consider
a seat In the senate a very Im
portant place from every viewpoint
of state interest, the lack of excite
ment among the people of Wash
ington at this time la the most
remarkable feature of the campaign.
The only contest Is for the repub
lican nomination; and the general
belief, baaed on hlstorlo fact, is
that the probabilities of ultimate
election In November strongly favor
the republican nominee.
But even this baa failed so far to
rouse the fighting blood of what Is
commonly called the "rank and file"
of those who profess to be repub
licans. Candidates and their Imme
diate supporters are hard at work:
but here and there and round about
the senatorial contest Is not In any
sense the leading toplo of general
conversation.
Restabllrasi Ranks I a raffled.
This aspect of the situation Is one
that encou-sres hope 'n the breast
of each of .he republican aspirants.
Tha field looks to bs susceptible to
Intensive cultivation. If candidates
can a-et around fast enough and cov
er the ground, who can tell what
may be the harvest of votes for
each? On the other hand, some dis
interested observers are Inclined to
boiieve that the mlnda of the peo
ple are pretty well made up n this
matter: that the distribution of
votes In the September II primary
will be about the same as If the elec
tion were held next Tuesday.
So far aa the people of Seattle are
rermitted to learn through their
home town papers there are only
three candidates for the republican
nomination Senator Polndexter.
Colonel Lamping and Mrs. Axtell.
The name of Stevenson Is mentioned
once In a while, but the candidacy
of Judge Griffiths of lata has been
wholly ignored. In the newspapers
of other cities, especially those v's
Ited by Judge Griffiths, he haa been
given a good deal of courteous at
tention. Wtan Bark Mrs. Axtell.
Mrs. Axtell and the women of her
campaign committee are concentrat
ing, the-.r efforts on the women's
vote. "Win Washington Women"
has been adopted as their official
campaign s'ocan. Mrs. C. Arthur
Varney of Yakima, ex-president of
tb State Parent-Teacher associa
tion, ha taken personal charge of
the Axtell interests. After a brief
sojourn at Seattle headquarters.
Mrs.-Varney will begin next week
a personal tour of eastern Washing
ton, traveling Independently of her
cacdidate. who Is also on the east
a Me. In order to permit some la-4
tude of choice as to slogans, the Al
t'1!' headquarters also offers this.
Let the Ax-Tell on Polndexter."
Colonel Lamplng's early campaign
efforts Justify the prediction that
lie wou'.d not confine himself to
what appear to be the immediate
issues of the senatorial contest. In
bit speeches and his less public ut
terances he Is taking free cracks at
a number of persons and things that
be ,-doesn't like. Cose friends of
Lamping aeem to be more out
epoken in their resentment against
Judre Griffiths and Mrs. Axtell than
In their opposition to Senator Poln
dexter. Ma raa I Astiioalaai Stirred.
Disregarding the fact that Colonel
Lamping was the last candidate to
enter the contest, they seem to feel
that Judge Griffiths anfl Mrs Ax
tell should have held off and kept
tha field clear. Mutual antagonisms
have been stirred op In the Lamp
ing. Griffiths and Axtell camps
which are getting Just as lively as
(1 hostility in either camp against
Jolrdexter.
Senator Polndexters appearances
In h.s own behalf undoubtedly have
strengthened his candidacy. Early In
the year there were .enough evi
dences of active opposition and lat
ent indifference to warrant the be
lief that Polndexter would have
hard going for renominatlon- Fail
ure of every effort to co-ordinate
this opposition and convey tndlffer--ace
Into hostility and the non-
appearance of any candidate who
'could unite the anti-Poindexter vot-
ra haa been all to the advantage
kf the senator.
Senator Poindexter"s campaign
thus far has shown that he la look
ing beyond the nominating primary
ti sn even livelier fight for final
e lee' ton In November. Every epeech

NER YEAR IN OREGON.
SALEM. Or Aug. 12. (Special.)
The public libraries of Oregon, al
though not receiving financial as
sistance sufficient to meet the re
quirements of the American Li
brary association, in many Instances
have exceeded the 1"ultlonh(.P"
capita requirements and are being
operated on a plane of efficiency not
excelled by libraries in any Prt ?
the United States. This was revea.ed
In statistics prepared here ""nUy
by Miss Cornelia Marvin, state libra-
rlThe American Library associa
tion, according to Miss Marvin, has
Indicated in its reports that II per
capita Is necessary properly to con
duct a public library. In Oregon not
a public library "ceved this amount
of money per capita during the year
1?21.
Med ford Leads Cities.
Medford. which Miss Marvin said
hss one of the most modern and ac
tive pubUo libraries in Oregon, re
ceived 97 cents per capita during the
II months covered in the state libra
rian's report, while Portland ranked
second with a per capita income of
95 cents. Ashland was third with
79 cents and La Grande fourth with
71 cents. The Dalles received 62
cents. Albany 53 cents. Baker 60
cents, Marshfleld 45 cents. Bend 44
cents and Salem 40 cents.
In the matter of circulation per
capita the Oregon public libraries
made an excellent showing, seven of
their number having exceeded me
requirements of the national asso
ciation. Medford ranked first with
a circulation per capita of 11-3, with
Ashland a close second with a per
capita circulation of 10. The Dalles
and Marshfield tied for third place
with 8. while Portland ranked next
with 7.9. La Grande's per capita cir
culation was 5.5 and Baker 5.3. Bend
had a per capita circulation of 4.7.
Albany 4. and Pendleton 4.5.
The Dalles Makes Reeord.
The Dalles public library scored
first with relation to Its registra
tion nr capita. The registration of
this library, based on its population.
was 91 per cent, and compares weii
with any library In the united
States, according to Miss Marvin.
Marshfleld was second with 90 per
cent, with Medford and Albany tied
for third place with SS per cent.
Eugene had 6S per cent. Ashland S3
per cent and Pendleton 60 per cent.
Miss Marvin explained that It was
difficult to compare registrations of
the libraries In various parte of the
state because of the different sys
tems of conducting the Institutions.
Some libraries weed out their inac
tive registrations frequently. Miss
Marvin declared, while others allow
them to accumulate over a period of
many years. As a result. Miss Mar
vin said the latter libraries nave
an advantage In the statistical re
ports dealing with their registra
tions. The Portland public library leads
the entire state with relation to pop
ulation, number of volumes, circu
lation and receipts. This library has
an available population of 275.004)
and volumes numbering 331.943. Its
circulation last year aggregated
2. 037.545. with receipts amounting to
$295,054.51.

State Library Co-operates.
During the year 1921 the Salem
public library borrowed 900 volumes
from the state library. A total of
200 shipments of books from the
state library were made to Medford.
108 shipments to Hood River, 97
shipments to The Dalles. 83 ship
ments to Baker snd 85 shipments to
Pendleton. In each of these ship
ments were a large number of vol
umes. These shipments totaled 2264
during the year. Miss Marvin said.
During last year several of the
pubWo libraries received substantial
gifts. Including Grants Pass, which
realized $1156 from a rummage sale;
Roseburg. which received 5200 from
a woman's club, and St. Helens,
which received $(90 from a lumber
company and woman's club.
Miss Marvin said that she Intends

subjects will be the library budgets.
At the annual meeting of the
American Library association, held
at Detroit recently, Oregon was cred
ited with having one of the most
efficient county library systems In
the country. The working of the sys
tem was demonstrated by Miss
Marvin.

Miss Marvin said that while Ore
gon public libraries had made a
splendid showing during the year
1921, a number of the smaller in
stitutions had failed to progress be
cause of Insufficient funds. As a re
sult of this, she said the present
tendency is to establish the county
library unit, which If conducted
properly should be able to meet the
requirements of patrons more effi
ciently than the small town or com
munity Institution. The report pre
pared by Miss Marvin shows that
many of the community and small

KILLING CALMLY VIEWED
WOMAN, UNPERTURBED, EX
PLAINS MURDERS.
Father-ln-Law "Old and Great
Care" and Husband "So Jeal
ous," Says Young Widow.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
. MUSKEGON, Mich., Aug. 12. Mrs.
Meda Hodell, 26, explained today
why she regards calmly the killing
of her father-in-law, because he was
"old and a great care" and of her
husband, because he was "so Jeal
ous." One ehe poisoned with arsenic
in his coffee, so that he fell Just as
he was trying to carry in an armful
of wood, while her husband was
struck, over the back of the head
with a rolling pin. Both deeds were
those of the young woman, who had
been married just , a year. It was
her mother (earlier accounts of her
confession said a "brother.") who
gave Romle Hodell, the husband, the
coup de grace, with a rolling pin.
This later act brought the mother
and daughter Into a sort of har
mony which was explained by the
young widow today. She had said
before that she struck her husband
while he was lying on a cot. She
struck twice, felt sorry and then
lay down beside him, while he still
was "quivering." it was her mother,
she said today, who, also feeling
sorry, struck the additional blow
that made Romle Rodell lie still.
This same mother, said the widow,
had been her confidante after the
killing of Romle HodeLl'a father,
who was 67. Here is the way the
young woman explained the whole
affair today:
"We never had a chance to learn
anything about religion. We were
too busy earning our living and try
ing to get our. rights."
This explanation from a daughter,
probably a farm drudge, of her life
and that of her mother, also a farm
drudge, serves to spice her reason
for kUlIrg the old man.
"I knew It was against the law
and I had to be careful, but still I
felt that the old man would be bet
ter off dead," she said.-
Undoubtedly it was a small arm
ful of wood the old man was carry
ing when he fell, dying a few min
utes afterwards.
Work was suspended In Goodwell
township today and the neighbors
came into Whitecloud, where the
young widow, her mother, two
brothers and a farm hand are in
jail, to discuss the murders, and to
wonder at them. The trial opens
Monday.
