- Chicago, July 1J. Many things
rnay happen twlxt now and election
day. But If thi pU in the presi
dential contest were to be closed
tomorrow, certain other things
would surely happen,, such as, for
Instance, the election of Warren O.
-Harding, Republican, as president of
. the Unite' States. 1
But If the third party movement de
velops even the minimum strength ex
pected Of It, namely, the carrying of
Minnesota. Wisconsin " and' North Da
kota, Governor James Cox r of Ohio.
Democrat, may be the happy beneficiary
and president of the United States. .
However Insignificant the third party
may appear to Bastern eyes, and how
ever much it may be derided as social
istic, ultra radical and Hearst made,
the fact 4s It does menace Republican
victory more than : it does Democratic
' victory,. for the Democrats who nomln
ated Cox of Ohio deliberately forfeited
the West and chose to make their battle
ground in the East. i

but Ohio, Indiana. Missouri, Kentucky,

were placed in the Democratic column
because Governor Cox would, if the elec

better than an even chance of carrying
these states, either begause of his wet
inclinations or, as In . Ohio, because of
his record as governor, j -.-
Similarly, New York and the New Eng
land states, as well as Illinois and the
majority of the Western states, are
placed for the moment In the Republican
column because Senator Harding would
appear to ' have better 'than an even
chance of carrying them. 5 either ' be
cause of his tendency to derive support
from the dry side of the argument In the
Western states or the accumulated re

up feeling, whilst the Tammany stamp
on the Democratic presidential nominee
will alienate thousands ot women voters
who dislike Tammany not merely for
its own record in politics, but because
of its alleged affinity With the liquor
interests.
Even so, there is no question but that
even supporters of MeAdoo believe Cox
will : make a better run in New York
than MeAdoo could have done, though
in the same breath they contend no
Democrat can carry New York this
year and that MeAdoo would have swept
the West.
. Those who nominated Cox privately
confirm the Impression that wet can
didate, can hope for little out In the
West and must make his fight in the
Eastern states.
ADTAWTAGB TEBT SLIGHT
Even assuming that the prestige of
Cox will overflow the borders of Ohio
into (ndiana and corral the labor vote
there and - the wet vote, and following
which the organisation of Tom Taggart,
Candidate for United States senator, can
mobilise the ticket this year, few Demo
crats entertain the slightest Idea that
a Democratic candidate r could carry
Illinois. So, with Cox splitting the East
and deriving little success from the
West, the table above gives a generous
scattering of states .east of the Mis
sissippi to the Ohio governor, which,
together with California and Montana
and the solid South, would not be suf
ficient to elect him, but would put Hard
lag in the White House. -.
But Governor Cox's - chances to be
president, of the United States are, nev
ertheless, even, for a change in only .one
or two states in the foregoing table
would put him above 26S and 'bring
Harding below the majority line. ;
THIBD PARTY'S EFFECT
' Supposing.' for example, - the third
party nominates La Follette, or anybody
else pleasing to the Non-partisan league,
the chances are better than even that
they will split the Republican vote,
which is the largest in the Northwest.
And then the normal Democratic vote
would probably exceed either half of
the . Republican ; strength, thus ' giving
Minnesota or North Dakota, or Wiscon
sin to Cox..
If Cox won Wisconsin, his total would
be 267, and if he won only Minnesota,
he would have 763. either of which totals
would elect him president.
On the other hand, should the candi
date of the third ticket carry Minne
sota, Wisconsin and North Dakota, it
would mean a total of -30 electoral votes
and the result might be to give neither
Cox nor Harding a majority, and throw
the whole thing into the house of rep
resentatives for decision. Unquestion
ably, as things stand today, the con
teat Is a close one and the third party
movement,' while ' Insignificant in "Its
effect upon the Eastern or Middle West
ern states, has potentialities for - harm
to the Republican ' presidential ticket in
Wisconsin, North Dakota and Minne
sota. -;
PBOHJBITIOX BIO ISSUE
All the calculations are based on the
assumption that Cox favors light wines
and beer for home use only, as proposed
by Tammany and the states which die
tated the nomination of Cox. . This is
an assumption which, in the absence of
refutation .from Cox himself, will be of
further use to party workers eager to
corral the largest wet vote possible.
Should Cox steer dear of the prohibi
tion 'question ; and suddenly take the
same position, as Harding on it, . there
will be nothing , especially to commend
him to the voters of New Jersey or
Indiana or Maryland.' where the inclina
tion is Republican, all other things be
ing equal. ' 'A'k:f-:-
Governor Cox's chances of winning
the big ' Eastern states rest entirely
upon his views on prohibition, which,
despite the omission of any special
plank thereon from either the Republi
can or. Democratic platforms, is likely
to be more discussed bythe voters than
anything In the platforms. It . is the
biggest vote getting or vote losing Issue
la the campaign.

Oregon's Transportation
. Facilities . ..
The industrial and commercial development of Oregon
la dependent upon adequate transportation facilities. And
. Oregon Is fortunate in havfng waterways and valleys that
give natural pathways for steam and electric lines. v -
'. An ever-Increasing number of ocean-going vessel are
entering Oregon's ports, the navigability of the Columbia
and Willamette giving' water transportation . to over 100
miles of the interior of the state.

- This total averages but 3.21 miles of trackage per 100
square miles of territory.
' These steam lines include the only water level entrance
to the Pacific Ocean that cuts through the" various moun
t tain ranges stretching from the Canadian line to Los
Angeles. This line has its termini at Portland ' and
Astoria, and gives a big advantage to these two cities in
the long haul of freight, -by the fact thatthe rise In
altitude from Portland east to Spokane averages only 5.34
feet per mile over the entire distance of 370 miles. Freight
from the east practically coasts from the Inland Empire to
the Sea. .-.'.....
' al
The - enormous increase in manufacturing and agricul
tural activities of Oregon, along with the large Increase in
exports and imports during the past two years, has taxed
the present transportation facilities until immediate need
for Improvement is evident.
' Important work has already been begun in the central
section of the state, where a rectangle more than S00 mile
square is almost entirely without railroad facilities at
. present . The proposed Oregon, California and Eastern
Railroad (familiarly known as the "Strahorn Project")
is designed to open this vast and rich territory by pushing
south from Bend in the shape of an Inverted "Y," connect
ing wlfh the Southern Pacific at Klamath Falls and with
the Nevada, California and Oregon Railway" at Lakeview.
It ts also proposed to build this line east from Bend
through Burns and Crane, connecting with , the Union
Pacific at th latter point. :
During the Great War practically all railroad construc
tion work was halted, , the increased mileage
during 1919 amounting to only 61.9 miles, while the In
crease for 191 S amounted to only 8.94 . miles the lowest
since the Civil War. ;
" - .
With the return of normal peace conditions, the great
" railroads will keep pace with the other , development of
the country. As Oregon la served by four great railway
systems, an expansion in our transportation facilities may
. be expected in the futujpe which will have a great bearing
on the development of unopened territory,- and
; prove vital to the Industrial and commercial
growth of the state.
