Can didacy at Ashland, By Staff Correspondent. Medford, Or., Oct. 22. "Failure to return George E. Chamberlain to the United States senate would be a di rect slap In the face to President Wil son and his policies," said Porter J. N'eff. Medford Attorney, in introduc ing Senator Chamberlain to an audi--ence of 1500 at the Natatorium last night. "One has only to contemplate the distress and suffering in war-torn Europe to appreciate what our presi dent's wise policy of peace has spared this country of ours. Surely Wood row Wilson deserves the continued support of senators pledged to his pro gram for the nation." A roar of ap plause voiced the approval of his hear ers. Senator Chamberlain spoke for nearly two hours, holding his au dience intent while he described the accomplishments of the present ad ministration and told how the heart of Woodrow Wilson beat for the plain Peopie Stuck Close to His Pott. Earnestly, simply, yet eloquently, he laid his candidacy before the voters. Attempts to blacken his per sonal record he laid aside saying "I leave my record to the people. It speaks for itself.

The assemblyites are aligning themselves under an organ ization styled the "Citizens' Legisla tive League of Oregon." of which George E. Frost, an attorney with offices in the Yeon building, is chair-j man. of the executive committee, and T. J. Fording, who lives at 573 Haw thorne terrace, is secretary. These names appear as sponsors for the pamphlet, which discusses half a dozen ballot measures and par ticularly urges the passage of the assembly bill. Until now, the attack upon the di rect primary has been with no out--ward organization. That the stand pat element is making a desperate effort to put over the assembly bill, is now unmistakably evident. Backers Are Asia nblyltes. It will be remembered that Mr. Ford ing was the man who filed with the secretary of state the bill legalizing the assembly on the very day that Dr. Withycombe in a speech before the Oregon Civic league formally an nounced himself as favorable to the assembly, although he admitted that the assembly of four years ago had "jobbed" him when he was a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination be fore.

Cargoes of wheat ami flour are be ing purchased here by England, France and Germany. Special representatives of the warring nation are said to have arrived in Portland several days ago and efforts have been made to keep their visits a secret. It was learned today that all three countries are making a strenuous ef fort to secure all supplies of wheat and flour and especially the latter, for immediate shipment. It Is even stated that representatives of the warring na tions have even bid against each other at the same time in various offices. Wheat sales, for f o-ctg-n account are. today the greatest in the history of the Pacific northwest. So anxious are the Europeans to purchase supplies that sales have actually been recorded sev eral cents a bushel above the general market. Germany and England are warring for supplies of oats in this territory and some heavy sales are reported, al though exporting interests here refuse to confirm the reports.

I have never seen a more orderly attentive, appreciative or intelligent audience than gathered at the court house last night to hear Dr. Smith's declaration of principles. The home of the Oregon Agricul tural college and of Dr. Smith's po lit leal opponent did itself proud. The O. A. C. brass band, consisting of 15 instruments, under the leadership of Oscar James, gave a concert in front of the hotel, after which tbey marched tc the courthouse playing popular airs. After a short band concert C. E. Woods opened the meeting. Just htre is a good place to say that the large courtroom was more than full. Not only was every Beat taken, but chairg were placed in the aisles and from 60 to 76 attentive listeners stood in the rear of the room or along the sides of the room. Mr. Woods spoke briefly. The record of achievement upon which Dr. Smith based his claim for future performance: He said that a man who had proved clean, capable and efficient as a school director, mayor and legislator would be able to give an equally careful and able adminis tration as governor. Dr. Smith was applauded heartily when he rose, I mean just that, it was no perfunctory cheering, but applause given with good will. Registration in Benton.

In other words out of a total of 5860 there are 2940 Republicans or a little more than one half of the total registration. At the meeting there were voters of all shades of political belief, but whatever their viewpoint, all were wonderfully attentive and generous in their ap plause. One pleasing feature was the presence of a large number of women, who paid just as close attention as the men. "I am much gratified," said' Dr. Smith, "at this hearty welcome and at the numbers who have come out to night. I have a message for you to night, and it comes from my heart."

"I don't think." he said, "that the results of the war will be over by then and neither do I think that our revenues will be sufficient to meet our expenses by that time.
