Affr making a careful study of the
quallfloattone of th various candl
aatrp, the "Oregon Posten," the Swe
dish paper published In Portland, edl
torlaily Indorsee Dr. .C. J. Smith for
Kovernor and the re-election of Senator
Oeorj?e K. Chamberlain, because of
their irreater fitness for the offices
they seek.
"The I'rojrreBBlve candidate, F. M.
Gill, nor the Independent candidate, W.
H U'lien, stand the slightest chance
of beln elfctfHl." asserts the Posten
"We say this without reflecting In
ony manner on their efficiency or in
teirrity. .
Governor Wert Admired.
"We have admired Governor West's
fearlessness In enforcing the law. He
has not bef-n partial to the rich at the
expense of the poor. His efforts to
reduce taxes, and his prison reform
work deserve Rreat credit. We hope
trai me man elected to succeed uover
nor West win possess the same
strength of character and the same
executive ability.
"During the last month Dr. Withy-
combe and Dr. Smith have expressed
their views In regard to the Important
Issues now before the voters of Ore
gon. We have given their statements
careful consideration and Judging- lm
partially, say that In our opinion Dt,
Rmltb Is better qualified to serve the
T Interests of all the people of this state
than is Dr. Wlthyrombe. Dr. Wlthy
rombe'a assertion that he would work
X in -harmony with the legislature sounds
well In theory, but if put Into practice
might greatly Increase taxes. By get
ting the right to veto single Items In
appropriation bills. Dr. Smith, as gov
. tnrnor, can save the taxpayers large
sums. The present high taxes depend
to a great extent on this, that the gov
ernor Is deprived of this means of ve
toing. .-. Chamberlain the Kan.
"Senator f'.eorse K. Chamberlain has
proved a conscientious representative.
President Wilson has openly expressed
his wish that Senator Chamberlain
might be elected. We have had no
greater president than Wilson since the
time of Lincoln, and during the trou
blous times In Kuropo and Mexico It
is Important that ho Is supported by
. a majority in the senate and house of
representatives.
"Ueorge K. Chamberlain was a good
governor of Oregon and he has worked
as faithfully for the good of the nation
, as he worked for the state. To send a
i tnun to the senate who would belong
to the minority would not benefit this
Ktate. The result of the election in
Maine denotes th confidence of the
people in President "Wilson, and it also
point to the fact that the majqfity in
congress win uuring rne next two
years aJso be. Democratic. Renator
hamoeiiain deserves and wllL no
doubt, be elected."
Display of Multnomah's products one of features at Land Products show.
-.Multnomah county in all her variety
agriculturally Is shown in a magnifi
cent booth at the Manufacturers' and
Land Products Show In the Armory.
The display, which Is one of the
most attractive and artistically ar
ranged of the scores that crowd the
big pavilion, ranges from beautiful
flowers to the homely but useful po
tato. 4
In the center of the big exhibit is

Substantial Gain
C. H. Timing of John Say Bring"! Re
port From Grant, Union and Uma
tilla oonntiea.'
Grant. 1'nion and Umatilla counties
are strongly for Senator Chamber
lain and Dr. C. J. Smith, according
to C. H. Tims of John .Day, who is
in Portland for a few days.
'Old-time Republicans, who are
really supporting Dr. Withycombe for
the governorship, have told me prl
yately that Dr. Smith's strength Is
gaining all the time." Mr. Timme de
clared today. "Dr. Withycombe has
spoken in our country, hut the impres
sion he made did anything but maka
him more popular. The Opinion seems
to he that he lacks the backbone to
make a good governor, especially in
times likfl theso when the direct leg
islation principle is being attacked. I
beard Dr. Smith speak at our fair
and he gavn the impression of a man
of independency and a determination
to enforce the law. Our peoplei want
wise laws well-enforced and a lot of
Republicans, who have been voting
with the other crowd, are going to
Btipport hmtth for tnat very reason.'

length from a point 15 feet above the
floor and its mouth is filled with pro
ducts of the rich lands of the county.
Potatoes, beets, carrots, pumpkins,
apples, squashes, carrots, vegetables
and fruits and berries appear to be
falling" out of the big horn of plenty.
Each corner of the booth is marked
by tall columns of corn stalks, each 12
feet high. The background for the
cornucopia la made of bunches of
wheat, oats, barley, clover, vetch, kale,
timothy and other grains, the pro
ducts of the prairies and'lowlands.
The entire frontage of the booth la
given over to a display Of dahlias,
brilliant blooms from the flower
farms, and on the sides are exhibits
of berries and root crops of the bot
tom lands.
The products for the most part came
from tracts of email acreage and elosej
In to the city places where hundreds
of people are making their livelihood
and a comfortable one, on farms rang
ing from 60 to 100 acres.
Although the display Is compre
hensive It only hints at the possibili
ties that the county offers those seek
ing homesltes In the country not too
far removed from the city markets.

Delves Into History
Portland. Oct. 81. To the Editor
of The Journal I fear we are illi
beral. Oh my friends, Dr. Withy
combe is not. He sees great things,
greater Oregons, great perspectives.
Oh my friends, call not Dr. Withy
combe an Knglishnyin, no Briton
would, speak to the hungry seven. The
Doctor is a cosmopolitan candidate,
is of all the races, loves all the races
of all the lands and all the parties.
His great grandfather followed George
Washington, but never overtook him.
Oh my friends, wasn't it the von Wit
tycooms, who furnished lager beer
to the armies of the allies In the great
Napoleonic struggles; oh my friends,
heard ye not of the De Weitacom
brairies of France. who wore the
legion of honor ribbon for ' serving
frogs' feet to the court of Louis XIV;
oh my friends, have ye forgotten
Witlescomeski, the famous chiropodist
to Catherine the Great of all the Rus
sias; oh my friends, remember Herr
Withyspielacombe;? the royal horse
surgeon to Joseph II of Austria, and
oh my friends, Dr. Withycombe loves
the Italian skies, Denmark sausage,
the culture of Belgium, Swiss cheese,
the literature of the Jews, Polish
snuff, Scotch broth, th Church of
England, Holland gin, Welsh rarebits,
Hungarian music, Norwegian herring
and Swedish bread, the vaior of the
Balkans, Portuguese poetry, Spanish
tamales, Turkish! tobacco, Oriental
traditions, Canadian trips and ocrt
cultural whiskers, and oh my friend a
have I forgotten anybody7 And oh
my friends, had Dr. Withycomba a
plain common 'everyday honest Ore
gon name like Smith, a spoonful of
Irish under his skin and a. little of
the popular faith, he would blow the
bung out of a cask and throw away
his oork eho.;s.

Mrs. Abigal Scott Duniway, PIONEER MOTHER AND PTH
BREAKER OF THE EQUAL SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IN (JRE- '
GON, WASHINGTON AND IDAHO, takes this method to eend
her greetings to such HONEST CHRISTIAN WOMEN as shl de
voutly believes are being LED ASTRAY in the present Prohibition
crisis BY THE CRAFTINESS OF AMBITIOUS MEN. jf
Have you forgotten, my inexperienced daughters, who are listen
ing to HIRED AND IMPORTED AGITATORS, to consult rcur
Bibles? Do you recall the fate of One who, upon entering the
enemy's country "to seek and to save that which was lost,' f was
ostracised, derided and finally crucified by SELF-STYLED "BEST "3
PEOPLE," who still "love to pray, STANDING IN 1THE SfNA- p
GOGUES AND ON THE STREET CORNERS, TO BE SEEM OF
MEN"? . T l
Are you obeying the Divine command of Him who said, ffWoe
unto you Scribes, Pharisees, HYPOCRITES"? Do you forgetf that
he urged his followers to "RESIST NOT EVIL," but to "OVER
COME EVIL WITH GOOD"? Can't you remember thai He
warned the people to AVOID DRUNKENNESS, and, while grbhic-.
ally depicting the woes of the drunkard, HE AT NO TIME ADVO
CATED THE MAKING OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY !AW
EXCEPT THE LAW OF SELF-GOVERNMENT, as applied tl the
abuse of intoxicants in individual cases?. i
When He said, "Woe untoiim that putteth the bottle A his
neighbor's lips," can't you see that It was not the TRAFFICr but
the MEN WHO MISUSED IT, that were accursed? When He ad
monished the people against "tarrying longat the wine," usinsuch'
vigorous language against intemperance as no man can equal,can't
you 'see that His warning was NOT AGAINST THE USE OFHTHE
WINE, BUT AGAINST THE ABUSE OF IT? j j
As piy space is limited and advertising rates come high, f .must
confine this letter to such quotations of Scripture as can be paid
for; so I must be brief and I must cite you to Matt. xi:19, as foows:
"The Son of Man came eating and drinking:, and thef
say, BEHOLD A MAN GLUTTONOUS AND A WINJl
BIBBER, a friend of publicans and sinners; But wisdorr
is justified of her children." , ?
Again, to quote the sayings of Paul: . jf
"For why is my LIBERTY judged of another manf
. CONSCIENCE?" (Cor. x:29.) if '
"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long su$
fering, gentleness, goodness, faith and meekness. Terr
perance; AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW." (Gal
parts of verses 19-21, 22 and 23.) i
Now, my enfranchised daughters of the modern-day churches,
for whose PERSONAL LIBERTY and that of other people I HAVE
GIVEN MY LIFE, if there is enough of the spirit of ingratitude in
your hearts to wean you from the above teachings of the Christ and
his followers, and to cause you to approve the FALSEHOOD VUL
GARITY, HATE and INTOLERANCE which is displayed lyr the
Anti-Saloon League in an open letter in the Evening Telegram , of
October 3, you will cast your votes with the spirit of Anti-Christ as
displayed by the authority of the SELF-ORGANIZED CONpPIR-;
ACY that gave it birth. JJut by so doing you will crucify the savior
of sinners afresh "and put Him to open shame. t
After the INTEMPERATE CRAZE OF PROHIBITION now
going through the newly enfranchised states like a holocaust of fire
shall have exhausted itself, the advocates of GENUINE TEMPER
ANCE REFORM, including the Mother Sex, can go before me in
coming legislative assemblies of such3 states, guided by the- f spirit
of Christ, "who came to break every yoke and let the oppressed go
free," where they can offer a solution of ithe evils we all complain
of, WHICH MEN ALONE HAVTT NOT &EEN ABLE TO &EET
AND CONQUER SINCE THE DAWN OF HISTORY. . Hj
MEET AND -CONQUER SINCE THE DAWN OF HISTORYf

Defeat of, the proposed prohibition amendment will have no effect upi
the efficient home rule or local option statutes now ijjl force, and eaai
community will continue to determine its individual stand on the matter pf
granting licenses. ' . i
