leader, refused to support Eowden and
resigned from the delegation rather than

! The Ixmdeit and Thompson forces are
how, engaged In a fierce struggle to
controVthe state, particularly the noml-

in State control,, and anything standing
In his way will suffer, for he la of the
kind that goes through to the end,
i Ickes delayed his announcement until
after the speeches of acceptance of the
two candidates and until - he could nat
urally weigh what Harding and Cox
stand for in the campaign.- He dis
carded the idea that party lines fore
closed bis choice, and stated his conclu
sion In these words: -it
I "Holding as I do that my duties, and
obligations as a citizen are paramount
to my duties and obligations as a party
man, I have concluded to sspport "the
Democratic national ticket Ini this cam
paign. I shall continue to affiliate with
the Republican party, but I ; cannot In
good conscience support for president a
candidate who was not the real choice
of his party and whom I regard as un
worthy and unfit to be the chief execu
tive of this nation by the tests of abil
ity, public policies official record and
independence of character.'' J -

try which he claimed were
the' official bulletin. :j r 3
Only business men were to participate
in the organisation. Cox claimed.
"This means," he said, "that the Quotas
are to be assessed against those who are
to benefit, and the captains of industry
who have answered Hays' roll call are
submitting to taxation with the under.
standing that they wui nave represent
"1 charge again a planned assault on
the electorate. It can't be hidden; the
hosts are marsnauea ; tne money am.
munition is prepared, bat it will not
succeed." , ';'., r ii i-j-A . j
Quoting from the Republican treas
urer's official bulletin. Cox declared that
plans were to keep the entire organise
tion and the contributions' secret. He
said: j .; : ;, j U
"The bulletin of August S says: 'Our
readers are net requested to make this
information public' The bulletin of
August 16 says : The names or amounts
subscribed should not be made puhljc
locally.' ?-'s , j u M:U ,-. :V i
"I . hereby give it wide and noe
exclusive public! ty." i i
"The plan," Cox said, ?was not only
to organise every state, but every
county. Definite quotas were estab
lished in precisely x the isame manner
as the Liberty loan . campaigns : were
conducted, population and bank de
posits appSrently being i the r basis , sf
calculations." I i
In addition to the local chairmen and
state . managers, traveling representa
tives ' were engaged, operating between
them and the community organisations ;
Salaries running ss high as $500 a week
and expenses have been paid In order
to create and maintain enthusiasm and
morale, "he charged. i . rl
-Cox then challenged Hays and Fred
W. Upham, treasurer of the Republican
national committee, to make public the
names of contributors to the alleged
secret funds, declaring both should be
removed unless such action was taken.
New Tork city leads the list of "official
Republican quotas" ..given j by Cox. ' His
total, figure there1 was $2,000,000. Chi
cago was . second, - With $750,000.
Other quotas given were.
Seattle, Columbus, Toledo, Minne

TAKE5 FHOK COT !
The above quotas, Cox claimed, were
taken from typewritten sheets sent out
with a confidential instruction from the
office of Upham. The governor did not
reveal how a copy of this and tha sev-i
eral Issues of the official bulletin came
Into his possession, but he declared he
was certain of their authenticity. The
Whole financial plan waa Inaugurated
at a meeting of the ways and means
committee of the Republican national
committee, last December, he said. : J
t His conclusions follow : tj j , f
"The net to spreading in front of the
qusrry What Is the game, except to be!
cloud the public mind on the subject of
the League of Nations issue and world
beace? The "normalcy ' versed Dy their
candidate, as visioned by his masters.
Is a bayonet at the factory door; un-i
restrained profiteering at the gates o
the farm; the burden of government oti
shoulders other than their w, and the
federal reserve system an-annex to big
business. . -.
"When the : American ?! people fully
grasp, the sinister menace hanging over
them, they,-will, shun it as a plague.
Truly, the senatorial oliganchy and its
candidate are harking back to the days
of Mark Hanna. The Wall Street Jourl

since: i860, showg that in 1836 Hanna
spent $l.fi00,000.
s Nothing. approaching it has ever been
attempted " until now. It was this foul
thing which Theodore Roosevelt brought
to an end when he reformed the RcpubJ
lican' tJarty." ; When he was doing it
Warren Q. Harding branded him as an
Atron Burr. i -h-? u s '
- "Will Hays -srtiyS the preliminary estlJ
mate of the Republican fund was $3 ooo,

pli today is, "What is the Republican
olifarchy going - to do vith the, other

COX QtjOtES.HAB.BHrO -
The governor quoted Harding as say
ing in the official bulletin t i
"I want all rnembers of your organi
latlon to feel that all their efforts are
essential to our success in planning for
national efillghtment, and that all Are
deeply appreciated by me." if - - : I
One of the most striking 'quotations1
from the bulletin which. Cox claims ap
peared m the issue of August 18 and
was written by Harry Blair, Upham's
first -assistant., was as follows: s i
. i'-Hardjng and Coolidge have the con
fidence of the people, but, boys,, get the
money. The platform is sound enough
to hold' the weight of the nation but,
boys, get -the money; It takes time to
organize, but we haven't any more time
left-: boys.- set the monev. Thi Mihr

from Rosaburg to get a Job. v He was
then a boy. 19 years eld. He got his
job. It was that of a raall carrier, at

pays $36000 a year, or i00 a month. . '
t "I waa proud of that job. I got a

Waa only a country kid and that looked
like a let of money," Jones said Thurs
day. - -
"Things were different in those days.
We worked long, hard hours. Some days
we worked eight hours. Soma days we
worked 16 hours. We worked until we
were through with that day's work.
There were ao collectors In those days.

then, either. No package could be sent
that weighed, more thaa four pounds.
But sometimes it seemed like they all
weighed that much. "
"Tea, I worked hard. And sometimes
I get discouraged. But It was worth it"
Jones leaned back In his swivel chair
and smiled. Hh? office today Is that
of assistant postmaster. Soon he will
move across the hail and the sign on
his door will read "Postmaster."
Jones is a big man, strong and vigor

hair, slightly gray at the temples. One
Is struck Instantly with his forceful
personality. It hi Indicative of ability J
usee his ability in his workaday life.
Added to that he has a friendly, whole

to land it some day," he added thought

biggest Job ot them aU. Anyway, I'm
proud of the chance to tackle it and
you can bet I'll work for service to
the people," he concluded seriously.
For . 12 years Jones carried a mall
sack. His first . route waa in the old
business district, when "The Farmers
and Mechanics' store at First and Tay
lor streets' was one of the principal
stores in the Rose city, when Meier &
Frank's department store was down on
first street between Yamhill and Tay
lor streets, when Olds, Wortman &
King's store was on a corner of First
and Taylor streets.
As Portland has grown, so has Jones'
position in the mall service grown. And
his pleasure of his remembrance of that
first day, 30 years ago, .when he shoul
dered his first mail sack has never
been equaled until Thursday when he
learned that he had been appointed
postmaster, he said. m 1
