Dr. Smith spoke briefly upon the
several great national issues and those

of what he Intended to do if elected

beat down the appropriations of the

Oregon Population
Gain Near 200,000
Since 1910 Census
Oregon's population has in-
creased nearly 200,000 since the
1910 census was taken, accord-
ing to researches just com-
pleted and announced today by
the promotion department of
the Portland Commercial club.
Of this gain, 75,000 has been in
Multnomah coupty. All the
counties except four show
marked increases. the four
showing decreases being Sher-
man. Morrow, Josephine and
Hood River.
The estimate was based on
the population of the various
counties on the census figures
of 1D10. and the present in-
crease in the school census as
taken in' every district of the
state.
The report shows that the
average population per square
mile of land arW throughout
v me siate is s.s. The total esti-
mated population being g2,-
856. compared with 672,765 in
1910.
IT IS TOO LATE FOR IR. WITHYCOMBE TO
CHANGE NOW
Dr. Withy corhbe is saying promiscuously that his state
ments are misrepresented by the papers opposing him.
If Dr. Withycombe refers to The Journal, he is hereby
challenged to point. out one single instance in which this paper
has misquoted him.
In every statement attributed by The Journal to "Dr.
Withycombe, the words are his words. They are published
verbatim asfhe uttered them without the omission of a letter
or the additpn of a letter.
The Journal is in position to prove this from stenographic
notes of his speeches, and it challenges Dr. Withycombe to
point out one single instance in which he has been 'misquoted
by this paper.
Dr. Withycombe will not be permitted 4to go back on his
utterances on the threadbare and out-worn claim that he has
been misquoted. He has not been misquoted by The Journal,
and he knows it.

Paleni, Or., Oct. 1". The supreme
court 'today found in the case of the
state of Oregon, ex rel, Andrew !.
Clark against W. A. Harris, appellant,
that the recall section of the consti
tution, section 18 of article 4 1, is self
executing and that the form of notice
of the recall election held in Columbia
county, at which Clark was elected
county judge, was sufficient.
Clark brought suit to oust Harris,
asserting that he was guilty of usurp
ing and unlawfully exercising the of
fice of county judge, Harris having re
fused to give up the office when his
successor was chosen at the recall elec
tion. Harris filed a demurrer to the
complaint asserting that it did not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action.
The point contended for by the de
fendant in his demurrer was that the
recall of public officers, provided for
by section 18, of article II of the con
stitution, was inoperative, because the
provision was not self-executing, and
no act of the legislative assembly of
the' people has been passed to carry it
Into effect.
The court refuses to assent to the
contention that the section does not
definitely provide what per cent of the
electors shall be required on petition
for a recall, and that this Is left to be
determined by county clerks or other
proper officers with whom the peti
tions are required to be filed. It is
held that the section means that no
more than 2! per cent of the electors
shall be sufficient for a recall peti
tion, and that the legislative assembly
or the people -an fix the per cent at 10
or 15, or any: number less than 25 per
cent. XTntil the legislative assembly
or the people enact the contrary, every
petition for a recall must be signed by
not less than 25 per cent of the elec
tors of the county or election district,
the decision holds.
The contention of the counsel for de
fendant that section 18 should remain
in abeyance until certain legislation
shall be enacted is not upheld, the
court holding that the clause does not
mean legislation to put the section in
operation, but such mM will aid in its
operation.

WAR SUMMARY
BY J. W. T. MASON
Former Ixmdon Correspondent
for the United Press.
New York, Oct. 17. German suc
cesses in extending the kaiser's lines
in Frame and Belgium to better ad
vantage than has "seemed possible to
the allies was beginning to suggest
today that all is not moving smoothly
in the French army.
The Franco-British forces are sup
posed to be at least 20 per cent
stronger numerically tnan the Ger
mans. Outnumbered thus, it would j
appear naturally that the kaiser would
be fortunate to do more than main
tain a strictly defensive attitude. But
as a matter of fact, he has continued
a series of counter offensives which
have had the effect of putting the al
lies as much on the defensive as he
has been.
Allies Are Pushed Back.
The" allies have been pushed far
from the- German lines of communica
tion and the German batile front has
been extended 60 miles, Trom the re
gion of Arras to Ostend, to prott?ct
an additional 3000 square miles of
conquered Belgian territory
All this the allies have been xtnable
to prevent. They have not only failed
to move their own lines nearer to the
crucial points of the Teutonic defense,
but they have had to give ground In
the north until now their advance
positions rest on the "Franco-Belgian
coast. The northern extremity of their
line ought to have swunir eastward at
the Belgian frontier but Instead of
this, the Germans were able to detach
enough men to compel them to move
off to the westward.
Three Answers to Puzzle.
This situation is puzzling. If the al
lies really outnumber the Germans,
why are the Germans apparently able
to make a greater impression than the
allies?
The most obvious answer to this
question is that the French have not
yet had time fully to repair their de
ficiencies in military supplies revealed
last year. The equipment for oart of
their soldiers may be lacking in quan
tity or quality, so that they are com
pelled to wait until the deficiency is
made good before their numerical su
periority can demonstrate itself.
A second answer may be that the
rencn general staff has refused to
sanction the enormous loss of life that
a frontal attack on the strong Ger
man positions would entail. The Ger
mans themselves have abandoned the
mass tactics they used during their
rush through Belgium and France, to
wards Paris, and a policy of numerous
minor attacks has perhaps been
adopted by General Joffre as more
humane, though also more expensive
of time.
What Might Happen.
A third possible alternative in that
the allies are not really in much ac
tual numerical superiority In the
north but have been concentrating for
a new offensive against the German
entrenched camp of Metze.
It would be in keeping with -the
many unprecedented developments of
t?e present war if the allies should
gain a victory against the permanent
fortifications of Metze while falling
to dislodge the enemy from his tem
porary field shelters elsewhere.
