Drive This Week to De
cide Election.
GOVERNOR WAGERS LACKING
Pierce Campaign Is Under
mined by Exposure. '
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

Frank Alvah Parsons Decries Ef
forts to Move Waist Line
and Trailing Skirts.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. "Monkey fur

"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

not fit her head, either inside or out.
"Waist lines should be kept in

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.

REAL LEADER IS AWAITED
Unless Conditions Change,

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

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.

Registration of voters in Multno
mah county, following: cancellations
sent in from outside counties for
persons who have removed from this
county since last election, shows a
total of 112,668 electors. This is 180
below the total shown at the vime
registration closed but is still the
highest "mark on record. Two years
ago there 110,640 registered voters.
Republicans registered now num
ber 81,352 and democrats 27,256. The
figures for these parties In 1920
were: Republicans, 78.163 and demo
crats, 27,175. The republican gain
has been 3177 voters while demo
cratic forces have to be contented
with a, net gain of only 81. The fig
ures show that the republicans, in
gaining an increase greater by more
than 1000 than the Increase in the
total for the. county, have done so
somewhat at the expense of the
minor parties.
As segregated on the books of the

. Extremely primitive and unable
to -obtain blubber, these new-found
Eskimos dwelt in snow huts with

They were of a decidedly, lower
stage of- civilization than the
Sreenlanders, but Rasmussen was
able to Collect valuable store of
their legends and folk lore.
The winter climate he encoun

that of Greenland, both fof men
and animals. The temperature was

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.
The understanding between the
conservative and Lloyd George lib
erals is spreading, although It is
the cause of much dissatisfaction
among the extremists of both camps.
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

END OF BATTLE IS THRILLING

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
