' SITUATION IS CONFUSED .Speaking Tours, Underground Systems and Special Tickets ' Figure Prominently. Hammer blows about to be deliv ered for this week will settle the election In Oregon. All the cam paigning yet to be performed must concentrated in the' next few days, as the polls will open No vember 7. Two lines of strategy are being pressed into service. One is pub licity through the newspapers and speakers and the other is the under ground, gum-shoe type of spread ing propaganda. These are being supplemented by the circulation of special "tickets" containing se lected lists of candidates who have been indorsed by various ..groups, fraternal, commercial or taxpayers. CovernorNhtp Wagers Lacking. So confused is the situation rel ative to the governorship that prac tically no money has yet been wagered on the outcome. In sport ing circles the odds on the school fbill are 10 to 7 that it will be de feated, but with respect to the gubernatorial problem betting is conspicuous by its absence. ' Toward the end of the current week the drift will probably be so well defined that those who want to take chances will be seeking wagers, l'he groundswell is now noticeable end has been apparent to discerning observers for some time past, but still money is shy. The ground swell has set in for Ben W. Olcott, incumbent and republican, candidate for governor. Fierce C'nmpalgn Undermined, Exposure of Walter M. Pierce's record has done much to undermine and counteract the effect of the democratic nominee's several months of speechmaking and promising. This is the kick back which nas been proving so damaging to his candidacy. What Mr. Pierce's sup porters are now striving to do is to hold their ground without further defections from'his camp, and what Mr. Olcott's supporters are bending their efforts to accomplish is to give increased impetus to his steadily increasing strength. In brief, Mr. Pierce is now on the defensive, a dangerous position for a candidate to be in, while Mr." Olcott, after a long period of apparent inactivity, has assumed the aggressive. ' In the last week the republican state committee has launched its epeaKing campaign and the mes- sage of republicanism has been car ried throughout the state by United States Senators McXary and Stan field, Governor Olcott, B. L. Eddy, state senator of Douglas county Robert A. Booth, chairman of the highway commission; W. T. "Vinton, state senator of Yamhill county; Walter L. Tooze Jr., state chairman, and others. There has been a noticeable result from this squadron of speakers and the advantage gained Is to be pressed further in the coming week, when more speak ers will take the stump. Democratic Warhorses Quiet. For some unnamed reason, whil prominent republicans are touring the state speaking for Governor Olcott, their party nominee, no such activity has been displayed by de ' ocra.ts toward Mr. Pierce. The latter has had to do his own speak ing and none of the democratic war . horses have seen fit to aid him with their voice. The explanation of fered is that old-line democrats be came displeased with Mr. Pierce when he announced himself for the Conc-lu-it'ri on Page 2.

"Hair should go to make up a head, not a mattress. "Baby blue has an age limit; pink a s?x limit. . "A woman 4 feet, S Inches tall, has no business wearing a hat built for 'Cleopatra in her best days it does not fit her head, either inside or out. "Waist lines should be kept in their "places." - Frank Alvah Parsons, president of the New York school of fine and applied arts, emitted these and many other observations, as he surveyed the parade of women and girls along Michigan boulevard today. He Ms especially exasperated by the return to the trailing skirts, which do the work for which street sweepers are paid. "Fashion of today is damnable and dangerous,"- he continued. "There are enough signs to let' walking along Michigan boulevard, to accommodate a whole City of homeless persons. When you see a womair togged out in. what the fashion' jokers have wished on her, you know she has much vacant space above the neck. Here are some of the unmistakable signs: "A fur choker tightly choking the neck on a hot August day. 'A woman weighing 90 pounds, wearing 15 pounds of beads. "Lamp fringe that threatens to put the street cleamers out of busi ness. 'Decorations tacked on to parts of milady that should not be decorated. 'A waist line a. foot below, the waist, roped in with a curtain cord, tassels "and all." There are many other indications, but Mr. Parsons says any of these .s sufficient to show a vacant space in the dome of the wearer.

Some Think Time Ripe for Third Party. REAL LEADER IS AWAITED Unless Conditions Change, 1924 Will See Debut. VOTERS ARE, DISGUSTED Hundreds of Thousands Are Ex pected to Stay Away From Polls as Silent Protest. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. (Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonlan.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 28. (Special.)' With the national elec tions but a little more than a week away there is no abatement of the general apathy which has marked a campaign more puzzling , to the political managers than most of them are willing to admit. There are a few storm centers on the political map in Ohio, New Jersey, Missouri and New - York but taken by and large there is an indifference on the part of the voters as to the fate of parties and persons which sets awry . all the usual methods of prognostication. The indifference of the voters to the two old parties and their' will ingness to stay at home in a spirit of "a plague on both your houses," has led many observers to the con clusion that this would have been an ideal time to start a real third party movement. Many Full to Register. There is an assumption here in Washington that hundreds of thou sands have failed to register and will remain away from the polls as a silent protest against something that may be in their minds. Just what the voters actually are think ing is a riddle to the politicians which they would love to solve. But they can't. The republicans declare that the j silence of the electorate and their willingness to let the elections go In' some instances virtually by de fault means that they are satisfied with republican rule in the country and are convinced that the rule is going to continue, so overwhelming were the" majorities in November, two years ago.. The democrats naturally claim that -the stay-at-home vote is to be a protest against what the republicans have" done in the national administration and in congress. Democrats Not Satisfied. But at heart the democrats would like to see a method of protest more potent and belligerent than a mere staying at home. It takes a real crusade to overthrow an existing order, and with the exception of the states noted above there Is little spirit of the crusade in any of the campaigns being waged this year. The democrats have lacked a rally ing cry. - Their campaign has been largely negative, except in thos cases where the personality of the candidate has been , sufficiently virile to serve as the issue. In several states the . democrats are flirting . with the "wet" Issue, but there is no evidence as yet that the party is nationally to align itself . with that element of the country. Senator Borah of Idaho and others mentioned as possible leaders in a third party movement some time ago have not been -unmindful of the mood of the voters in the present campaign and of the evi dent desire of a great many of these voters to cast a protest ballot." National Aspect Smaller. It is recognized, however, that any third party movement capable of gaining national momentum and Importance must ,- revolve around someone's personality. The present campaign would not have lent itself (Concluded on Page 4. Column 1.) CARTOONIST PERRY Financial Collapse, Revolutions and Cold and Starvation Are Specters of Near Future. BY WILLIAM BIRD. (Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonlan.) PARIS, Oct. 28. (Special cable.) The fourth anniversary - of the armistice, two weeks hence, will find Europe undergoing the sever est of the long series of crises that have taken place since the war. , England is in the midst of a gen eral election campaign whereht the issues are sadly muddled end from which only confusion can result. France is on, the verge of a grave financial disturbance, facing a huge budget deficit, and with no new sources of revenue in sight. The sudden collapse in the exchange value of francs is frightening the public and financiers Into what very easily may become a panic flight from the depreciating standards. . Italy's constitutional government, capitulating before the fascist! dic tatorship, seems likely to be fof lowed by a socialistic counter coup and bloody civil strife. Cold and starvation has descended early upon Germany's despairing millions. The Balkans and eastern Europe are seething with emotion and the Turks make their triumphant re entry into Thrace dn the heels of the fleeing Greek population. North, south, east and west, the horizon can be scanned in vain for any sign of any new sane leaders arising in any country. In every country the people are discouraged and disillusioned and are ready to listen only to the prophets of dis aster. It is the hour of triumph for the pessimist. New wars, revolution and reaction are being preached on every hand to willing ears. Exactly what will come of this unrest and despair is Impossible to predict, but Europe seems trembling on the edge of enormous events. MR. BRUMBAUGH LAUDED Secretary of Bonus Commission to Quit Soon.

RECEPTION IS BUOYANT Clouds and Darkness Approach ing on All Sides, Asserts ex Premier in Address. LONDON, Oct. 28. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The most important event of today's campaigning was the invasion of Scotland by, Lloyd George. Supported by two of his cabinet colleagues,-Lord Birkenhead and Sir Robert Stevenson Home, the former prime minister made speeches at Glasgow and Edin burgh, the two leading Scottish cities. There were great crowds at both places. The Glasgow meeting was held in St. Andrews hall under the auspices of the Scottish Liberal council. Miss Helen Frazer, national, liberal can didate for Govan, was among the speakers. Mr. Lloyd George" has not yet re vealed any constructive programme. The essence of his argument was the danger of swapping horses while crossing a stream. Platform to Be Framed. Something is expected to come of the week-end party at the earl of Balfour's Scottish home at Whit tir.ghame. Mr. Lloyd George, Aus ten Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead and Sir Robert Home will spend Sunday there. It is believed they will devote themselves to framing a platform or a plan of campaign.

There are now 31 constituencies where the conservatives have agreed not to fight the Lloyd George lib eral candidates, the conservative party organization has declared that the question Is one which it leaves to the local bodies to decide, but there are charges that the conserva tive central office has influenced several (Candidates to withdraw in the interest of the liberals. New Cabinet Attacked. To his Glasgow supporters Mr. Lloyd George delivered a strong, al though not bitter attack on the new cabinet. His argument was that the coalition government was slowly but surely leading the country out of the troubles Inflicted upon It by the war. He declared that the new cabinet was not comparable to his point of ability,, and gave Balfour a most colorful tribute, describing nis services to the country as im mortal. , He challenged anyone to advance a sound reason why his government should have been de posed. Danger la Seen. , "Well," he continued, "it is not for me to say whether they've got it But are we really out of the rough? Go to the Glasgow shipyards for the answer. Examine the numbers of unemployed, then read the labor manifesto and then ask the ques tion, 'are we really out of the rough?' "It is a manifesto issued to people crushed with taxation, sore with wounds of a great war and exhausted and worried with anxie ties about their daily bread. We are not out of danger. It is a for midable challenge and it will ap peal to millions. " 'Die hards' are -not the only people who are calling for a change. They are not the only people in a democratic country who haVe the right to call for a change. "They call for one change; there are millions calling for ttnother change.

MAS ac - fU-OUTr ONE VvtVvoNi Only Score Is Made in Second Quarter. END OF BATTLE IS THRILLING Mathews' Men Open Up With Baffling Passes. RALLY FINALLY HALTED Eugene Men Break Up Aerial Work on 20-Yard Line by Hard Fighting. BTLE GREGORY. Let; the bands blare and the Ore gon rooters shout in honor of Har old Chapman and his good right - foot, which yesterday on Multnomah field thumped a place kick over the crossbar from the 25-yard line for a S-to-0 Oregon victory over Idaho. That spinning kick, sailing fair to its mark and true, upheld the tradi tions of 21 years of football rivalry. It was made In the middle of the second quarter, after the , red jerseyed youths of Idaho had braced on their 15-yard line and stopped an Oregon attack which in a suc cession of smashing line plays had rushed the ball 45 yards close unto the Idaho goal. There Idaho held. Three times the Oregon backs rammed an unyelding line. In the three tries they gained but four yards. Fourth down six yards to go, Chapman, the quarter- ' back, stepped back to the 25-yard line, gave the signal for a place kick, and as the ball was passed and propped, let fly for the goal. Ball Salln Between Pouts. Thump! went his trusty foot, .the hope of Oregon. Thump! and as 7500 excited folks craned their necks to see, sailed above the arms of Idaho players jumping to block it and shot between the posts. " It was done. For the 13th time in 15 games since 1901, Oregon had made the winning score. That place kick was the high tide of battle, the, climax of a grimy struggle through wet sawdust, the only score of a fierce game between 22 young men who fought and scuffled for every yard as they surged up and down the field. Idaho Fighta to Finish. That was the moment when Idaho might have despaired and- quit and said that tradition was too much. Did they? We'll say they t didn't. Far from it, they went down in a fighting finish that in the last three minutes, of play all but car ried the ball across the Oregon goal line In a wonderful, forward pass ing attack. It began near midfield, this attack. Chapman for Oregon had just punted 40 yards o the Idaho 27-yard line, where little Stivers, the 138 pound quarter, caught it, eluded three tacklers and twisted and squirmed for 15 yards to his 42-yard line. Stivers wanted to know how much time was left The timeri said, "Three minutes." Signal. Stivers took the ball and shot a bullet pass to Kleffner for a nine-yard gain. Ten-Yard Gain Made. A quick lineup In midfield and again little Stivers shot the ball. Again it was a bullet pass and this time Fullback Brown caught it for a ten-yard gain. Now on the Ore gon 45-yard line. Once more Stivers passed. This time Vesser, right end, hauled it in for a 12 -yard gain on the Oregon -33-yard line. Up to this point In the game. Stivers had been lobbing his passes. They looked easy to solv'e, those curving throws, and the , Oregon backs evidently had. become a litUe overconfident TheHdaho quarter's sudden strategic change to a bullet v pass seemed to have them rattled.
