13 THE STJXD AT OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 22. 1935 CLASSY TEAS HELD . If PiERCE CiP Luxurious Apartments Are Scenes of Social Affairs. FUNDS ARE PLENTIFUL PARADE BY BAND IN ORIENTAL COSTUMES FEATURES FALL GROTTO CEREMONIAL. Democrats of Old School Don't like Tea and Think Party Shouldn't Be Aristocratic. Wives of "dirt" farmers and help mates of stockmen , in Oregon will be pleased to learn that the demo cratic campaign is becoming a so cial function. At the Benson hotel,, in luxurious ly appointed apartments, where the feet sink into deep carpets and soft lights illuminate the costly fur nishings, tea is served every day at 4 o'clock to supporters of Walter M. Pierce. While the democratic candidate is predicting dire ruin for the state because of high taxes and extravagance, and is garbing him self to look like a son of toil, the high-toned social affairs are 'being staged. Democrats Boycott Tea. Hard-boiled democrats of the old school have failed to appear at the 4 o'clock tea, balancing a cup and saucer . on one knee and nibbling refreshments. The old-time demo crats are boycotting the social func tion for two reasons, the first being that they do not care for tea and the second is that they figure the democratic party should be demo cratic, as the name implies, instead of aristocratic. It wouldn't surprise some of Mr. Pierce's democratic colleagues to see him wearing silk sox and a soup and fish outfit at these afternoon affairs. Putting the democratic campaign Into society appears to be ah idea of Jesse Winburn, of Ashland, Or., who broke in on the Pierce cam paign by contributing $5000 and who is ready to chip in more. The 4 o'clock tea events are held where Mr. Winburn holds forth. Money la Abundant. For those who "feel like a cup of tea" there is "a staff of competent secretaries, stenographers and clerks to assist the ladies and to do cler ical work," according to a formal announcement of the social activity Issued for publication. Of course, a. staff of secretaries, stenographers and clerks costs money not to men tion the cost of tea per cup but there appears to be an abundance of money, back of the Pierce campaign Before the a-rrival of election, the Pierce 4 o'clock tea at the Benson is expected to eclipse and over shadow all other events on the so cial calendar. Any wife of a "dirt" farmer who may come to Portland is almost certain to be able to get a cup of tea in the surroundings of luxury if the farmer's wife is sult- ably gowned for the occasion. The farmer's wife will find a regular Bwell-elegant layout and the whole staff of competent secretaries, stenographers and clerks will be ready to help hen hold: the cu$ of tea and give her sugar or a slice of lemon, whichever, the taste of the farmer's wife prefers. Women Plan Drive. The society feature at the Ben son is arranged to accommodate and attract . members to the Pierce women's finance committee. The committee plans a drive on the community and has snared $350 so far. However, the suite at the Ben son is one of the most expensive in that caravansary and tea with trimmings and a "staff of compe tent secretaries, stenographers and clerks" to "pour" and "float," make the 4 o'clock event as classy and high-toned as any political worker could yearn for.
