OLD YAMHILL
'HAS INTEREST
IN PRESIDENT
(Continued From Page One.)
ton, chairman of the county central
committee, they are conceding that
Wilson Is going to get from 7S0 to
1030 Republican votes, while down In
their confidential hearts they fear that
the drift now setting Wilonward will
wipe out practically all of the margin
they are hoping to save.
The campaign has not been going to
suit the Hughes camp. Their speak
ers have met with cold response. When
Ous Moser was here a short time afro
he could not gather an audience in
door, and adjourned his meeting to
the main street, where he had but lit
tle better success. Men who have been
regular in the past are out openly
for Wilson. Straw ballots taken here
and there In the county have shown
a steady Wilson preponderance. The
women seem to lean strongly- to Wil
son, or else, especially up about New
berg, are announcing their intended
support of the Prohibition ticket,
which gives Hughes no comfort, for
the great majority of these women are
registered on the ReDuhlir-on m
The Germans of the county are re-
oeming rtoosevelfs anti-German posi
tion and are beginning to break away
from Hughes and go either to Wilson
or me socialist ticket.
Working to Dam Flood.
Word has come In to Yamhill that
Multnomah county Is going to vote for
Wilson, and the Hughes camualeners
are fighting from house to house and
namiet to hamlet to save, what ma
jority they can to help dam the flood
in tne state totals.
"I hope Hughes will carry the
county by 600 or 1000 votes." Senator
Vinton said. "That Is pretty modest,
with a registered majority of over
2500."
"We will carry Yamhil county, but
we are liable to lose the state," is the
vay another Hughes vr.an sizes It up.
"I don't see it the way these other fel
lows Jo. I have people come to me
from all over the county, and I hear
too much Wilson talk to bean optimist.
I have had men and women, members
of old Republican families who have
always stood pat on the whole ticket,
tell me that they and their kinfolks
are going to vote for Wilson. It
doesn't look good to me: for, while I
do not believe the big majority of this
county will be wiped out, there won't
be much to spare, and when Yamhill
county runs so close to the line there
is grave danger In the state at large.
Had BIy Meeting.
Senator Chamberlain met one of the
best audiences of his trip at McMinn
ville last night. It piled fully 1000
people into the big auditorium and
eave-hlm an ovation when he arose to
speak. They applauded him point by
point as he told of the legislative
achievements of the Wilson adminis
tration. They gave that close and si
lent attention to his arguments which
betokens deep Interest, and they sat
for nearly two hours in a practically
unheated buiiding to hear his message.
The senator spoke of the panic of
1907, and of the Tennessee Coal &
Iron case, where, he said, J. Plerpont
Morgan and the steel trust coerced
Roosevelt Into permitting a violation
of the Sherman anti-trust Jaw by
which the Tennessee compan was ab
orbed by the trust. In violation of
law. That, he contended, was a case
where the president was coerced In
the interest of Wall street and against
the Interest of the people of America.
He denied -that Wilson, or congress,
w as coerced In the passage of the
eight-hour law, by which the railroad
strike was averted, but had they been
he said, it would have been a coercion
In the Interest and for the benefit of
the Industrial life of America, the peo
ple of the -country and the cause of
humanity, and not in the behalf of
Wall street.
Discusses Hew Legislation.
He discussed the federal reserve act,
told of the efforts of Wall street fi
nanciers to defeat It by threat of a
panic worse than that of'1907, and of
how Wilson blocked this threat by
opeolng the United States treasury to
the people of th country.
Passing from that act the senator
discussed the rural credits act, which
he said was a companion law, since
While the former put the finances of
the country on a firm basis and made
panics impossible in the future, the
latter gave the farmer opportunity to
secure adequate credit for the devel
opment of his-farm.
"The farm loan act goes hand In
hand with the federal reserve bank act
as a great piece of constructive legisla
tion," he said. "It resembles that act In
m,any ways. It divides the country Into
twelve great farm loan districts with
a district loan bank in each. ' It pro
vides that each of these banks shall
have a capital of $750,000. which capi
tal, If not subscribed in full by the
people of the district, . will .be com
pleted by the government.; It provides
that ten or more farmers jnay band to
gether in a farm loan association for
the purpose of borrowing.money to Im
prove their farms. It provides that
each farmer may borrow up to SO per
i cent of the appraised valuer of his
I farm and 20 per cent of , the value ef
I his improvements. And j it puts thtf

loaning and handling of this mone'.in
the hands of the farmers themselV&s.
Law Means Much.
"The law means a great deal to, the
farmers of Oregon,- and It was a long
time promised," .the senator Bald.
"The farms of Oregon are. mortgaged
for 135,600,000. and the average rate
of Interest Is 8 -per .cent This means
the farmers of the . state are paying
each year $2,842,000 of the profits of
their farms to the money-lenders with
out making any payments to reduce
the principal.
"The farm-loan board has fixed- the
Interest on farm-loan bonds at 4 . pel
cent, and the interest on loans to the
farmers at from 4V to 6 per cenL"
"The annual Interest Oregon farmers
would pay on the existing mortgages
at 5 per cent would bo $1,776,000, or an
annual interest saving of $1,066,000.
Will So Mors.
"But the act will do more than this,"
the senator said. "If a man borrows
of the school fund at 6 per cent, he
must pay all of his Interest, and at
the end of 10 years, if his contract Is
closed, must repay the principal sutn
Under the amortization plan of the
rural credits act. If the borrower wre
to recav at the rate of 6 per cent on
the principal borrowed, he would pay
off both principal and interest and ex
tinguish the debt at the end of 25 to
40 years, as provided by the law."
The senator said the same group
that had fought the federal reserve
law opposed the rural credits act. 'It
would mean the opening of homes and
the development of' farms, he said, and
was one of the big things that the WJl
Ron administration had done for the
benefit and advantage of the common
man who must earn nis nveunouu
the honest toil of his nanas.

"Above all, when Carranza and the

Phoenix. Ariz.. Oct. 21. (U. P.)--lt
was hard for Colonel Roosevelt o
remember what he came out there for
today. He , made a 2100 mile Jump
from Louisville with only a -few -stops'
In - between, to utter his most but
denunciation of President ..Wilson's
Mexican policy and urge election of
Charles Evans Hughes, but wherever
he turned he found old scenes and old
faces that tended to take his mind off
his lob.
Th colonel was 'met here; by a .big
committee composed of member "of
ttm-.G. A. R., Spanish . war veterans
and Confederate veterans, headed by
Dwight B. Heard, - - an old personal
friend, and Jack Greenway, a major
in the Rough Riders, who before that
was Yale's famous backstop who
caught the curves of "Dutch"-Carter,
brother-in-law of Hughes.
.There were the usual bands and day-
light bomb to greet Roosevelt He
lunched at Heard's . house, witn Jack
Greenway, and then spoke at 2:30 this
afternoon. . . .
Makes Stop at Prescott.
The colonel was to be guest othon w
at a dinner at the Heard, home tonight
when several friends of ranchlng-day
wer expected in. Roosevelt had'-been
urged not to stop today until' he
reached Phoenix, but hforced-Regis

a stop at rrescott, nome oi uucay
O'Neill. Bucky dled in the colonel's
arms half way up San Juan hill and the
colonel., although, the stop had to be
made at 6:30, ordered ' Post to wire
ahead that he would - make a short
speech. - '
All day yesterday and 'today Roose
velt was in his element. He simply
drank in the western, scenes. "By
George!" he exclaimed at one time dur
ing the lunch, "I'd like to be young
again and out here. If It weren't for
Mrs. Roosevelt and the' children, I'd
build myself a cabin out here with a
bath tub in it and just stay until I
died. - By George! But, I would!"
X Is Hackled, VOoah.
But It remained for Gallup, N. M.,
where he raised half of his Rough Rid
ers, to furnish the real thrills of the
westwardbound trip. Nearly all of
the town of.3J00 crowded about to see
him. He hadn't started speaking when
noisy heckling began.
"How's Teddy, but Wilson for me!"
shouted a railroad man.
Roosevelt attempted again and again
to start speaking, but others took up
the cry, "How about Wilson? I'll bet
you love him!"
"I love no one too proud to fight!"
retorted Roosevelt.
"We've - all got good Jobs: why
should we change?" was shouted.
"Y'es, but you forget the thousands
out of work until th European war
put money into your pockets," said
Roosevelt.
"How about the 1907 panic?" a man
called; "at that we would vote for
you if you were running."
What did you ever do? we've got
eight hours!", yelled a railroader with
rass lungs
"You fool and coward, shouted Dack
he colonel, "go home and sober up.
T. R. Assume Defensive.
Then as Roosevelt was declaring no
American was killed bv any foreigner
during his term, a man at the edgo of
the crowd who held a baby in his
arms, shouted: lea, you let tne Japs
into the schools when I lived In Caii -
fornla."
And I -nt the battle fleet around
to Japan to prevent trouble," called
Roosevelt.
Tho colonel was leaning over the end
of his car, shouting in his loudest !
tones, obviously enjoying the verOal
batlio royal. The railroader was tlie
ast man to shake. Roosevelt s hand as
the train pulled out..
You're a grand man. Colonel! ' he
called, running along with the slowly
moving train, "but me for Woodrow
Wilson."
Old Friend for Wilson.
The colonel called Gallup his best
platform stop. With the colonel on
the platform, while the colloquy was
on was Jim Kltcnie, troop G. Rouen
Riders, who once had a gun argument
with -another gentleman. Jim is now
a coal miner and, let the world know,
a Wilson Democrat.
I'm for Wilson. I ll admit, colon,''
said Jim belligerently, "but I diin't
ride In here to see no politician. I
came to see my old colonel and I want
you newsboys, he urged, turning to
the correspondents, "to . let 'em all
know I'm for Wilson."
"You're a 'grand fighter." said the
colonel, 1 aughlng, 'but I always knew
your politics were oft color."
Another to meet Roosevelt at Gal
lup was Captain J. W. Peters, who
said he led the only company of the
Seventy-first New York that went up
San Juan hill. It was Peters' urging
that finally decided Roosevelt to stop
at Prescott today.
"Bucky'd be so glad, if he knew it,"
urged. Peters.
Fun Starts at Clovis. -
The. real fun. started at Clovis, N. M.,
where Roosevelt got out to, stretch his
legs. He was talking to the corre
spondents when a shriveled old .man
walked up unostentatiously and stood i
alongside.
'l ne coionei turned to htm
with:
"Howdy,
comrade? What' your
tutton?"
'Twenty-third regulars," laconically
responded the man, aa he did gymnas
tics with a monstrous tobacco cud and
his tongue. i .
at Oail U U4i.ll, DOIU VMO
So we was," he replied. "I'm glad)
you remember. .Ain't had. that' 75-mUe
ride this morning for nothing," and he
solemnly shook hand, got on his pony
and galloped back to -the plains.
Roosevelt struck a strong Derno-
cralc center at Belen. N. M. This is
a railroad division point. Wilson pic
tures were litefally thrust' under his
nose, but he paid no attention until
11-year-old Doris Gore held one before
him as he was mounting the car.
"You're , too pretty a little girl to
have such' a picture,"he said, 'patting
her plump arm. f -
"Oh, 1 ain't neither,"" she answered
At. this the crowd -sent up a -shout:
"Hurrah for Wolson!" and the colonel
called back, "Hurrah yourself, and this
time for Hughes!
The colonel rests, In Phoenix tonight,
leaving early tomorrow morning for
Albuquerque, where he speaks Monday.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
TO MEN AND WOMEN
STIRS TO HIGH PITCH
i i i i a i i
Non-Partisan Dinner Brings
So Many Together Big
Dining Room Too Small,
GREAT RABBI FOR WILSON
Sr. Stephen S. Wlio Tells Why All
Should Vote for the present
Chief Executive,
. "Will you not carry to the women
of Portland at dinner tonight my most
cordial greeting and best wishes, and
en expression of my gratitude that
they should unite with the men In
the support of a progressive and con
structive policy. Woodrow Wilson."
.That was the message read at the
non-partisan Wilson dinner last night
al the Portland hotel, and it stirred
the 240 diners to a high pitch of en
thusiasm. They made the dining room
rir-ar with their cheers. The message
was addressed to Mrs. Frances
Burke.
Men and women of all
faiths were at the dinner.
Idea Spreads Fast.
The dinner, first planned
political
by Mrs.
Burke, Mrs. W. F. Ogburn and a few
other women as a small affair for wo
men supporters of tho president, was
"received with such enthusiasm that it
was broadened to include men and
women of all parties who were inter
ested in the campaign for Wilson.
The result- was that the Portland
grill was not nearly large enough to
Trs Vhovanted
to attend.
Patriotic enthusiasm possessed tha
gathering from the moment the guests
wtrfl seated and the orchestra struck
the strains nf "America." The 24(J
diners stood and sang the words.
President' Message Bead.
Then Toastmaster Richard W. Mon
tague announced the receipt of the
president's message, which was ead
by Mrs. Burke. 8caroely had the cheers
subsided when the orchestra struck the
strains of "Dixie" and the cheers were
repeated with added measure.
"We have another message, from the
greatest of out working men," an
nounced Toastmaster Montague. Mrs. ;
Burke then read:
"Frances S. Burke, Portland. Or.
Henry Ford, John Burroughs, Luther
Burbank and myself, all Republicans
for many years, have concluded among
ourselves that the Interest of the
United States of America will be best
"THOMAS A. EDISON."
Letter Sent to Perkins.
A near sensation was sprung when
Emmett Callahan, chairman of the
Multnomah county Progressive party
committee and a delegate to the Pro
gressive national convention last June,
read a letter he has sent to George W.
Perkins, referred to by the toastmaster
as "'the late Honorable George W. Per
kins." The letter is as follows:
- "Portland, Or., Oct. 18. 1916.
"H6n. George W. Perkins, New York
City, N. Y.
"Dear Sir: I have Just read your
comments on President Wilson, and
ycur reasons why you support Mr.
; Hughes.
"Frankly, if you are correctly
! Quoted, it is difficult to understand
i the operation and sincerity of your
mind with the opinion you held of
; Mr. Hughes, and your unfavorable
comments upon nim to uenerai uona-
I parte ana me on me stage or tne
I Chicago Auditorium at the late Pro-
' gressive convention.
Reminded of His Flop.
"On that occasion when Mr. Hughes
name was mentioned in the conven
tion you personally requested General
Bonaparte and myself to start the
l ciy: "We won't take Hughes; we won't
; have Hughes; we don't want Hughes.
"How does your attitude then square
with your convictions now?
"You held In your hand a telephone
message at the time from Colonel
Rcosevelt, wherein he declared "that
Hughes would be impossible as a Pro
gressive candidate.'
"Why any man will elect to live
a life of intellectual falsehood and
equivocation is nard for any normal
right thinking man to understand.
"You knew, and Colonel Roosevelt
knew, at that time, that Mr. Hughes
was In constant touch through Mr.
Stratton as the messenger, with Mur
ray Crane, Barnes and Penrose: that
they were fully advised that Mr.
Hughes would stand hitched and com
ply with the future desires and wishes
or the interests that you all stand for.
"By what right, can yuu presume to
advise real Progressives how to vote
in the presidential election? You
stand now where you have always
stood, for the select few who would
exploit the many for the benefit of
the few.
"Yours respectfully,
"EMMETT CALLAHAN,
"Chairman of the Progressive Party
for Portland, Oregon."
Original Sin Against Women.
Short talks .were made by a number
of speakers. Dr. Esther Pohl-Lovejoy
won enthusiastic applause when she
spoke on' "Woodrow Wilson and
Woman Suffrage." She declared that
the Republican party committed the
original sin against women when, after
the. Civil war, it wrote Into the federal
constitution the word "male" aa a lim
itation to the right of suffrage.
' Speaking on the subject of rural
credits Mabel Holmes I'arsons of the
University of Oregon, faculty, declared
that no other piece of legislation en
acted in a generation equals the rural
The rural credits law and the fed
eral- reserve banking law," she said.
"are of such importance to us that
for one, regardless of my personal po
litical faith, would vote to keep In of
fice the man who obtained their enact
ment."
Hainan Beings and Things,
Dr. William Trufant Foster, presi
dent of Reed college, was asked to teU
why he was for Woodrow Wilson.
"I arrl for Wilson because I care
more for human beings than I care for
things," said Dr. Foster. "No admin
istration has ever done so much as this
one for humanity, both within and
without the borders of this naion."
Referring to the president's Mexican
policy. Dr. Foster declared that "watch
ful waiting was the wisdom of a
great statesman."
"I am. for Wilson because I am for
peace," said the speaker. "Those who
cry for deeds snd not for words, cry

for war whether they know it or not."
Swiftly picturing, the horror of. war,
he pointed to t fit revolution and devel
opment in the instruments of warfare.
"It is more necessary than ever be
fore," he said, "to keep these instru
ments of warfare out of the bands of
men who are crying for deed and not
words.
For Integrity of Character.
"I am for Wilson because I am for
the Integrity of character of' political
leaders," continued Dr. Foster. "And
as I know Woodrow Wilson personally,
and know personally man of the most
Intimate friends of the Wilson family
in New Jersey, my faith in his char
acter cannot be budged by the politician-Inspired
gossip for which no man
or woman on earth aa yet dares to take
personal responsibility.
"I am for Wilson because I am for
woman suffrage. I prefer the man,
who though he has the cause at heart,
refuses to play politics to gain votes
by making promises he know no presi
dent can keep.
"I am for Wilson because I am for
equal rights to all men."
Hughes the "Evasive" Candidate.
Referring to Charles Evans Hughes,
the speaker said:
"What the evasive candidate really
means by patriotism, preparedness and
such fine phrases, he does not say, but
you can jbdge by the company he
keeps the-tariff barons and those who
hpve grown rich on special privileges."
Colonel C. E. S. Wood, speaking on
the subject. "What It Would Mean to
Repudiate Woodrow Wilson." lifted his
htarers to heights of enthusiasm time
and time again.
He declared that repudiation of
President Wilson at the hand of the
voters on November 7 would be In ef
fect a repudiation of the great piece
of constructive legislation which have
been enacted under his leadership. He
pointed out that in all the bitter at
tacks that have been made by cam
paign speakers and newspapers on the
president, no one has adversely criti
cized this legislation.
Repudiate Wilson, Repudiate Humanity
Reviewing the benefits to be derived
from the federal reserve banking law.
the rural credits law, the child labor
law and other measures enacted by
this administration. Colonel Wood de
clared that "when you repudiate Wood
row Wilson you repudiate humanity
itself."
John M. Pipes, ,a well known Repub
lican, lauded the president for hi for
eign policies and the statesmanship
h has displayed In keeping this na
lion out or war. wis subject was,
"W ilson. His Foreign Pellcies Rea
son Against Force."
"Why I Am Opposed to the Woman's
Party," was the subject discussed by
Mrs. II. P. Torry, who pointed out the
inconsistencies In the campaign of
the Woman's party.
MX. Ogburn Speak.
Mrs. W. F. Ogburn, reviewing the
legislation and acts of President Wil
eon which tend to promote social jus-
ice, declared that if he is allowed to
continue his work he will , achieve a
record of social and Industrial liberty
'that Lincoln never dreamed of." Her
topic was, "He Has Freed More Slaves
Than Lincoln."
As the closing feature of a declded
y successful affair, Jane Burns Al
bert entered garbed as the Goddess of
Liberty, carrying a large flag, and
sang "The Star Spangled Banner,"
while the guests stood.
Another ringing message enthusi
astic in its Indorsement of President
Wilson was received too late to be
read at last night's dinner from Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise of New Y'ork and
formerly of Portland. Its text fol
lows: Rabbi Wis Indorses Wilson.
"Heartfelt greetings to you and to
all my good Oregon friends. President
W ilson deserves reelection because he
has made and Is remaking a great
party. Justice Hughes should be de
feated lest his party unmake him. The
Democratic party is an imperfect In
strument of Democracy but the Re
publican party has become a perfect
instrument of privilege. The election
is supremely Important because an
organized and infinitely menacing at
tempt is being made to restore tne
dominance of privilege and to dollar
ize our American diplomacy.
'Wilson actually enacted into legis
lation the progressive program of
1012. the framers of which would have
done far less towards carrying It Into
effect. President Wilson has not Only
had a mighty hard time of it but haa
made a mighty good Job of It like an
other great Democratic president.
We love Wilson for tne enemies ne
has made, whose friendship he might
have won if he had not insisted upon
being president of al the people. Gov
ernors Wilson and Hughes faced the
same problem and the etme corrupt
bi-partisan machine. Neither surren
dered to the-machine, but Wilson bent
It to his Indomitable will and mad a
It serviceable to the stale. Governor
Hughes, saddled by treachery or party
leaders, succumbed to the temptation
of an appointment to the supreme
court.
All Should Vote for Wilson.
"Wilson has not so much set the
country free as he has et it on the
highway of freedom. He has led us
into a war for the repossession of our
life as a democratic people, a war not
ended but barely begun. Wilson has
forfeited every claim to the passing
glory of destroying Mexico In order to
proclaim that Americans are not only
men but gentlemen, and that It -is the
business of a people not only to be
Just to all nations, but forebearlng and
even magnapimous In dealing with a
weaker national neighbor.
"President Wilson's policy has been

Hughes Organ Says
Connecticut in Peril
New York, Oct. 21. The Evening
Mall, which is supporting Hughe, in
announcing the result of a careful can
vass of Connecticut by a staff corres
pondent, says that the nominally Re
publican majority of 40,000 In that
state threatens to be turned into a
Wilson majority. At Democr'atjo
headquarters it has been known for
weeks that the state would give Wilson
a large majority.
The Mail points out that Connecticut
Is a manufacturing state where the
labor vote is In vast preponderance. It
continues:
3"Into the home of every laboring
man In the state has. gone a neat Dem
ocratic, campaign document containing
a list of the labor acta passed under
President Wilson .and In New Jersey
when he was governor of that state.
The Republican answer has come In
the shape of weighty pamphlets on the
tariff issue. 1
" 'What will Hughes or the Republic
can Darty do for usT That la thve
question wherever labor Is employed,
and that means In every town and city
of the state. So far there has been no
answer from the men on the Republi
can side of the fence.
"J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the
Republican state committee, an old
style state boss of the Boles Penrose
stamp, is running the Hughes cam
paign In the state, and that is not
helping matters any. He was a menw
ber.of the famous credentials commlte
tee which threw out the Roosevelt
delegates in the Chicago convention nf
1912 and Connecticut Progressives are
not forgetting that fact in a hurry." i
Benson Continues Warning.
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 21. (U. P.
Allan L. Benson, Socialist presidential
candidate, carried to Phoenix today
his warning that this nation Is rush
ing to a food crisis through exportn-,
Hon that will result in widespread
famine unless Immediate federal ac
tion is taken.
A halt must be called on the expor
tation of foodstuffs or great disaster
will speedily overtake this country."
Benson said today. "Flour is now
higher than it has been at any time
since the Civil war. Make no ml-
take the high cost of living berora
next spring will become so high that
millions will suffer from lack of
food."
HOLDS OUT NO HOPE
FOR ANYMORE CARS
Conditions Can't Be Improved
Much Before First of Year,
Says North Bank Head,
Car shortage conditions are grow
ing no better and cannot be Improved
much before the first of the year, In
the opinion of L. C. Oilman, president
of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railway, who returned yesterday from
a business trip to St. Paul
With the preponderance of tonnage
now almost two to one 'in favor of the
eastbound freight movement as
against the westbound, the task of sup
plying the west with empty cars im
almost beyond solving. Tne oemana
for rolling stock for local uses by the
far eastern lines preclude efforts to
obtain empties In appreciable number
to be hauled west.
One great factor In the present car
shortage. Mr. Gilman said. Is the fact
that theenormous grain crop, formerly
moving to Pacific ports for export, la
now moving toward tne Atlantic port.
This reverses the normal direction of
traffic and complicate the problem
that comes up annually.
Mr. Oilman was called east to testl
fv in a case involving some old lltlga
tlori with which he was familiar while
he was connected with the Great
Northern railway. He conferred rath
er extensively, however, with the ex
ecutives of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines regarding af
fairs of the North Bahk. but stated
that these conferences developed no
orders for construction of any new
lines in Oregon.
It had been reported that at least
two construction problems were being
considered one the extension of the
United Railways from Wllkesboro to
Bav City in the Tillamook country.
and the other an extension of the Ore
gon , Klectric from. Albany Into the
Cascades to tap the timber bodies near
Cascadia. These must wait, however,
Mr. Gilman said, until such time as
the. market development warrants the
opening of new lumber Industries.
"The railroad are enjoying an enor
mous traffic Just now," Mr. Oilman
remarked. "I found St. Paul and Min
neapolis very busy place, with prac
tically no unemployment at, all. I did
not go further east, but understand
that similar conditions prevail in all
the eastern cities."
