TIDE TURNING
MANY STATES
Sober Sense of the Voters
Finds That President's
Candidacy Squares With
Most Vital Elements.
GREAT BATTLEGROUND
IN THE MIDDLE WEST
Results in Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois and Wisconsin Will
Have Vital Bearing.
Washington, Oct. 21. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The Ohio valley and etates further
went have become the great battle
ground of the campaign. States re
garded as an rely for Hughes at the
time of the national conventions have
slipped, into the doubtful column.
This Is not due to any masterful
strategy on the part" of the managers
of the Wilson campaign. It Is due
more than anything rise to the sober
sense of the voters In asking each
other the question "What have we o
gain, and what might we lose,' by the
election of Hughes?"'
This question has many forms, but
It Is essentially thesme question, and
the outstanding answers are these:
The country cannot gain prosperity
through Hughes. It already has that.
It cannot gain progressive adminis
tration, for this Is betng given In most
convincing way.
It mfcy lose peace, which many be
lieve I directly threatened by rece it
utterances of Hughes, who has seem
ingly caught some of the war fire from
Roosevelt.
Unquestionably the country wants
prosperity, it wants progressive gov
ernment, and It wanta peace. Because
it has all of these, and may lose any
one or all three If Hughes Is elected,
the hard headed man of the west is not
responding to the Hughes propaganda
as the Republican managers thought
W. wotfld.
"XnU .tb Oaubtn! Colam.
So It eom, , lo pass .that many
mates Vhlch b 'pffimi? fntlWiI

Hughes must toda;" be placed In the
doubtful column. That they belong
there ) evidenced by careful polls
tnadt, ly-'tdftilcal committees of both
parties, by newspaper estimates by
men who are Intimate with local con
ditions, and by admissions here and
there of features that are dhsquleting
local leaders, which bear labels such as
these: . ;
wlUon is much stronger than his
party in this section,!' "The women
Heern to favor the president becauxe
they like his peace policies," "Many
Progressives who have been on the
fence are coming out for Wilson," "The
Roosevelt speeches are causing fear
that. Hughes will lead the country inio
war," and other like expressions.
This is the sort of news that comes
from Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minne
sota, Nebraska, and on out to Idano
and Oreg6n. Practically every one -of
these states in the great corn and
wheat belt on to the Pacific ooast was
regarded soon after convention time as
a sura thing for Hughes, It is not t.o
today. '
The only states now fcnerally con
ceded is sure for Hughes In the west,
and in justice it should 'be said that
even these are sometimes disputed, are
Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota. Wyoming,
Utah and California. In some of the
othejr states the Hughes . campaign is
regarded "as leading, but' not by any
such margin as to justify placing it as
sure for Hughes.
Close right la Ohio.
Ohio Is having the, closest kind of a
fight. This is a great industrial state
and the workers are leaning strongly
toward Wilson. Much Is heard in ap
proval of the administration keeping
tne country out or war. Herrick. Re
publican, is believed likely to win for
senator, but the electoral' vote is In
doubt. ;
No one needs to be told tjiat Indiana

rrospects are thought better than
they were, for some reason not quite
explained, but trie result defies fore

Illinois was frankly neklected by
Hughes' managers until a few weeks
ago, on the theory that it did not need

changed, and the state Is classified as

dent this year in that state, but not

tell of strong , trend of the) women'

The city experienced Its first frosty

there was a great rush for the new
clothing cards. . The crowds were so
great that it was necessary to give
out numbers to the newcomers and
allow them to stand In line and await
their turn.
Piece goods, excepting silks, for
some time have been purchasable Only
by presenting cards. These were easily
obtainable. It was necessary only to
appear at a magistrate's bureau and
how a police stamp as proof of Berlin

One object of the new clothing regu

WILSON NAMED
FIRST CHOICE OF
PROGRESSIVES
Bainbridge Colby, Who Twice
Nominated Roosevelt as
the Progressive Candidate,
Picks Wilson as Leader.
4000 CHEER SPEAKER
WHO LAUDS PRESIDENT
Most Enthusiastic Audience
of Campaign Shows Its
Faith in His Policies.
In the name of "all Progressives by
principle and conviction," Bainbridge
Colby of New York, forejpost leader of
the Progressive party, last night
nominated Woodrow Wilson for pres
ident of the United States.
The 4000 men and women Progres
sives, Republicans and Democrats
nearly lifted the roof from the Armory
with the volume of noise which
greeted this impromptu nomination.
They stood and yelled and waved their
hats with frenzied enthusiasm.
Mr. Colby was introduced by Wil
liam Hanley, Progressive candidate for
United States senator from Oregon In
1914, as the man who twice had nomi
nated Theodore Roosevelt at the Pro
gressive party national conventions in
1912 and 1916. This led Mr. Colby to
offer an aixlogy and to name for pres
ident the man who is now recognized
as the true exponent of Progressive
principles.
Predicts Unanimous Election.
"I wnt to say," continued Mr. Colby,
"there never has been a nomination
that will be followed so soon by an
almost unanimous election."
Again the big crowd, that filled
every seat on the floor and In the
gallery of the armory, while hundreds
were standing, broke into wild cheer
ing. Last night's meeting, one of the
largest and by far the most enthusias
tic held in Portland during- this cam
paign, .was verjr decidedly a Progres
sive gathering, Mr. Oolby, nslde from
being a leader in the organisation of
the Progressive party and the mart whOi
twice nominated Roosevelt, la tne
party's nominee for United States sen
ator in New York. William Hanley is
one of the recognised leaders of the
Progressives In Oregon, while other
Progressives were on the platform and
the big crowd enthusiastically ap
plauded reference to the principles for
which the Progressives stand.
Cheer Interrupt Speech.
Samuel White,' Democratic state
chairman, introduced Mr. Hanley. When j
the latter was presented, the crowa i
Blood and cheered, as it did when Colby
was Introduced. j
As Mr. Colby warmed to his speech,
the audience broke Into cheers time and J
time again. He said he was support
ing Woodrow Wilson because Wilson
is the foremost leader of the Progres
sives in the nation today. He reviewed
the list of achievements, which he de
clared entitled the president to this
place.
' What an impresalve list of achieve
ments!" he exclaimed. "How can any
Progressive hesitate? How can any
Progressive refuse hlg support to such
a president on such a record without
being false to his professions as a
Progressive?
All Can Support Wilson.
"Remember, my friends, It is the
part of the independent in politics to
approve and support, as well as to
protest and revolt. We revolted In
1912 against conditions that had be
come intolerable in our public life. It
:s agreeable in this election to find
that we can with right good conscience
and entire consistency throw our
strength as Progressives to sustain an
administration that has. been honest,
jatriotic and efficient."
Mr. Colby said he had assumed that
Colonel Roosevelt, in his speeches,
would have something to say to the
Progressives, explaining his refusal to
continue the fight for Progressive prin
ciples. He recalled the colonel's pledge
to stand by the party and fight for its
principles to the bitter end.
Progressiva Abandoned.
"He offers no excuse or justifica
tion for his abandonment of the Pro
gressive party, said Colby, "but frank,
ly says that he is working in the in
terest of the success of the Republi
can party.
It seems evident to him, Mr. Colby
said, that Roosevelt has thrown a
monkey wrench into the machinery of
the Hughes campaign.
"It is evidently the colonel's belief
that Mr. Hughes is a pussy-footer;
that he isn't aylng the things that
ought to be said; that be has had
months to say them and now It is time
the colonel said them ' for him," de
clared the colonel's formerTlght hand
man.
T. B-'s Followers Mortified.
VI am truly .sorry to see Mr. Roose
velt give way to bis passions and in
dulge in such unrestrained, excited and
bitter tirades against the president.
What he says Is not true. It is not
Just. It is inexcusable. It Is received
by Colonel Roosevelt's admirers with
pain and mortification. It is resented
from one end Of the country to the
other.
' This view met with the instant lap
provai or tne inousana who were
listening with the closest attention,
between cheers. Mr. Colby spoke as
follows: ; . .
Wilson Poremost Progressive.
"I am sopportlng President .Wilson

Assassin Fires Three Shots
at Count Stuergkh Without
Warning,
Berlin, by wireless to SayviUe, Oct.
21. (C. P.) Count Stuergkh, the Aus
trian prime minister, was shot and
killed at dinner today by FreUerick Ad
ler, the editor of a Viennese period
ical. Berlin. Oct. 21. (U. P.) Telephone
communication between Berlin and
Vienna was interrupted tonight Imme
diately after news of the assassination
of Count Stuergkh, Austrian prime
minister, reached the German capital.
Fragmentary dispatches regarding the
shooting have caused the greatest spec
ulation here.
The news of the assassination
reached Berlin shortly after 6 o'clock
and spread rapidly throughout the city, i
One dispatch said that - Count
Stuergkh was lunching at the Hotel
Relssl and Schadn when he was. at
tacked. Frederick Adler, editor of a
Vienna periodical, walked Into the din-;
ing room and without. a word fired
three shots, taking careful aim at
Count Stuergkb's head.
The premier fell over in his-chair.
Friends rushed to his side and found
that he had died instantly.
Berlin -newspapers were making ef
forts to learn more details of the as
sassination" when they were informed
that telephone connection between the
two capitals had been broken.
Count Karl Stuergkh became prime
minister of Austria on November 3,
1911. The ministry was reorganized
in November, 1916. The cabinet of
which he was head dealt solely with
the affairs of Austria and not with
the government of the dual monarchy
of Austria-Hungary.
Emperor Is Deeply Shocked.

ROOSEVELT'S ATTACK
BITTEREST YET MADE
i. i .I .
Tells Phoenix Audleiice He
Would . Have Recognized
Huerta or Intervened.
By J. P. Yoder.
Phoenix. Ariz., Oct. -21. (U. P.)
Seven thousand Arizona folks packed
sthe baseball grounds here this after
noon to see and hear "Teddy" Roose
velt.
It was in this section that Roosevelt
recruited most of his Rough Riders
and it is the country hereabouts that
Jumped some 3200 an acre in value
right after the colonel dedicated the
irrigation dam that bears his name,
so his coming was like the proverbial
welcome home."
Roosevelt, in thoroughly Rooseveft
fashion, sensed the sort of audience
that sat sweltering before him under
a searing Arizona sun.
Would Talk About Mexico.
He had been told on the way from
Prescott here by Tom Campbell, Re
publican candidate for governor, that
the state was sure Democratic, and
teat "there is no irrterest in the Mexi
can question -here." He wanted Roose
velt to include some other subject, but
tne colonel declined.
"That's th very reason . I'll sav
v-hat I want to say. We will see if we
can t stir up something on the Mexl
can issue."
Throughout his rather long address
there was scarcely, an "lng" suffix
pronounced. Roosevelt dropped into
Arizona cowboy talk, like a duck takes
to water. He had been dropping more
and more into plains dialect the
farther west he got for two days.
. Indians Among Auditors.
His audience today . Was chitfly
farmers and cattle-raisers. There was
a big-delegation of old soldiers from
Tucson and scores of "Indians present.
A band of full-blooded redskins, who
represented JO. tribes, furnished the
"Hall to the Chief stuff.
"Just as the colonel started his
speech, 3-year-old Reglna Piper gave
the movie men - an added feature by
being passed up over 'the railing of
th speaker's stand, wrapped in an
American flag and bearing a bunch
of American beauty roses. The colo
nel chucked her chin, tossed her in
the air and then back to her pa. whi
almost dropped her trying to ger Into
the movies along with - his small
daughter and "Teddy."
Ben- Daniels Xs Fresent.
Roservelt met some more old cow
boy friends when he landed at the
depot. Prominent among them was
Ben Daniels, another half-eared "gent"
of belligerent proclivities, who lost
part of his aural appendage when it
got between another "gent's" molars
as they happened to come together.
Ben. Incidentally.. Is the boy who.
as he went into lunch at the White
House with the then British ambss

DOWN AGGIES,
E 17 TO 7
Tuffy Conn, Aggie Halfback,
Made Marvelous Run Whole
Length of Field that
Opened Nebraskanrs Eyes.
COREY'S EDUCATED TOE
CAUSE OF BIG SCORE
Oregon Lads Weakened Early
in Game by Injury to Two
Star Players.
By R. A. Cronin.
Right Halfback Tuffy Conn showed
the stalwart Cornhuskers how to run
101 yards for a touchdown on Mult
nomah field yesterday afternoon, but
the artful little dodger of the Ore
gon Aggies couldn't beat the entire
j University of Nebraska team, and the
easterners took the
root ball classic, IT to 7.
Nothing like Conn's run nas ben
seen In Portland in years. It wsis
Just at the opening of the second
quarter and Caley was sidling over t-i
Aggies' line for what would have been
the CornhusKers' second touchdown,
when the oval slipped out of his hands
and Into the watting paws of Tuffy.
who was preparing to dive into me
easterner. The fleet-footed Aggie whs
already in motion toward the Nebras
ka goal line when Caley recovered
from his stumbling.
Carried Signs on Back.
Racing down the west side line, the
California freshman hit a gait that
carried him one after another out of
reach of his red-Jerseyed pursuers.
Gardner was the last man remaining
In the sprint after the flying Aggie,
but had he known in advance that
Tuffy tan do the quarter in 50 sec
onds any old day, he would not have
wasted so much breath. Also, Mr.
Tuffy Conn of Pasadena, the home of
the millionaires, wore a large 23
sewed on his broad young back and
that in itself should have been warn
ing enough to Mr. Gardiner et al. bf
Nebraska.
Plucking the hurtling ball out of the
sky one yard behind his own goal line,
the Pasadenan made a record run of
01 yafffr between' gfl lines. It will
go down in history with Dow Walker's
famous run for the Aggies against
Oiegon in 1905, which, too, was not
enough to give forth a lctrv.'
Tleld Was rast.
' It was an ideal day 'for a football
game and the dry footing caused the
Multnomah club official to scrape
off the old familiar coating of saw
dust. That made the field faster than
it has ever been before, and this very
fact was probably responsible for a
good deal of the Aggies' fumbling and
their inability to pull off forward
passes. In the last ' analysis, the Ag
gies' aerial shoots went into enemy
hands as often as into friendly ones
and two of the Nebraska interceptions
at least provided the impetus ifor
eventual Nebraska goals
Injuries Weakened Chances.
The easterners tackled harder than
the Aggies, and were never down until
the weight of their opponents carried
them into the dirt. Of course, the
early absence of the bulky Ozbun
Walker and the hard tackling of Cap
tain Blssett At end. doubtless hurt the
Aggies In resisting the easterners'
charging. Walker went out early In
the game from a bad ankle, and Blssett
followed later, being carried off th.e
field. While the O. A. C. captain was
in there, he certainly played havoc
with runs directed toward his flank.
However, the open field running of
Conn was the outstanding feature, and
toward the end the Nehraskans in the
cadet band were yelling loudly for
Conn to carry the ball. They liked to
see his exhibition of the fox trot.
Apache glide, dervish whirl and Char
ley Chaplin walk rolled Into one in
tricate maze of evolutions for presen
tation to opposing tacklers.
Among those who performed bril
liantly for the Aggies was "Darkhorse"
Newman. Just why he should be carted
"darkhorse" is a mystery By the stilt
like way he climbed Out of every mass
play, "Charley horse" would no doubt
have more aptly described his legs at
least. But even with a pair of weak
ened stilts he did yeoman work for the
Oregonians. Busch. Selph, Brooke and
A. Anderson played well. Beverley
Anderson and Hubbard were among
others who played with credit against
Nebraska.
Outclassed In First Quarter.
One of the brilliant lights on the Ne
braska team was Caley, .while Riddell
was nearly his equal in end running.
Captain Corey has an educated toe
nd it takes a lot of Interference to
circle his end. The Nebraska backs
were superior to the Aggies' backs as
a whole, Decause iney were supported
by a stronger line, but one wonders
If the Stewart system of four men
back of the forward line, will hold up
against the stronger, teams of the Mis
souri valley.
Nebraska clearly outclassed the
Oregon team in the first quarter, but
the Incentive of Conn's touchdown
caused the Aggies to brace and fight
the Cornhuskers to a standstill in the
setoi.d quarter. Finding an Inability
to run ends while Captain Blssett and
Tackle Walker were yet in the game.
the Nebraskans began assaulting the
Agpie aiicfc iivicB nne rippea
in it by Caley.. Riddell. Otoupalik and
Dobson. -
Aggie BesUtancs Heroic.
From the time Nebraska intercepted
an O. A. C. forward pasa In the mlJ
die f the field until they had mad
thelr first touchdown, they did hot
lose possession of the ball. Finally,
aflat, a heroic Aggie resistance, Caley
went over for a touchdown near the
corner. Otoupalik kicked out and
Caley heeled the ball fiirectly In front
of the Aggies' posts, ' from whici It

Whether G. B. Hegardt. engineer of

"It would be entirely satisfactory to
me for Mr. Hegardt to go the first of
the week," said Charles B. Moorei.
chairman of the public dock commis
sion.
"I can go whenever the commission
wants me to," said Mr. Hegardt. The
arrangement for cooperation follows
the suggestion of the possibility by
Tbe Journal. The application that
brought definite result was received
yesterday by the dock commission
from E. R. Scott, secretary of the
Hood River Commercial club.
"Truman Butler, chairman of the
river Improvement committee," wrote
Mr. Scctt, "advises me that the com
mittee will be glad to meet with you
at some date next week, but says fur
ther that he believes if it were possi
ble for your engineer to make a short
visit to Hood River, the matter would
be placed more clearly before you,
than a meeting of our committee with
yours without such a visit from him.
"There are two locations for a pub
lic dock here, one being already In
use, but the question is whether the
physical obstacles to overcome in an
other location are too expensive lor
us to tackle even though the location
be much better.
"An engineer's opinion upon this
point !s the vital question.'

The day was cold, but the crowd of
3000 pecked the lawn completely In
front of the veranda from which the
President spoke
The most of the address was an ap- i
real to farmers of the country to n- " ,
ter Into the scheme of national pre.!
paredness by standing for cooperation
an opposed to comblnstlon. Their :
chance for united effort had been
made easy, he pointed out, by the pas- -sage
of the federal reserve and rural-
credits acts. This cooperation, - li '
ta'd. was as necessary In times of
peace, as in times of war, if the nation t'.
were to be safe. -Fresldent
Displays Confidence. ' '
The president displayed the great
est confidence. He referred to elec
tion year as a disturbing element in
calrr. consideration of public question.'!'.'.
"I am glad the campaign ia nearly -over."
he said. "I am In a hurry to ret i,
down to business again. There ts - -
great deal of irresponsible talk being . :

things they know perfectly well they . .

national counsel." - ; ,S
After November 7, he continued,' t
"we can get down to the solid bust-;,
ness of trying to comprehend our gen-
ral duty with regard to the nation at,

The president said:
"Although more has been done for
the farmer in the last three and .
half years thsn in carllor generations, j
the largess of nature has been "' -gteat'that
it did not seem to demand"
national attention. '','-'. '"
"I can illustrate tho point of YleWv
