DECLARES MILLS
A. L. Mills, president of the First
National bank, returne d from Wash
ington Tuesday night, where he at
tended, as representative of the
Twelfth federal reserve district, the
quarterly meeting of the federal ad
visory council September 20 and 21.
That an optimistic feeling exists
throughout the Hast : that the general
opinion Is that the price cutting move
ment Is of m permanent nature, and that
financiers look for a gradual and or
derly" rrturii to normal conditions, are
some of the facts gathered by Mills.
The present condition of the livestock
Industry was taken up In a forcible man
ner hy the advisory council with the
federal reserve board. The pbard was
told, according to Mills, that It was nec
essary to give the sheep and cattle men
financial assistance to save the meat
Industry of the United States. The
board was urged that member banks
be given the authority to continue live
stock paper and to help those engaged
1n the livestock Industry to the fullest
extent possible. On account of forced
liquidation, the breeding stock In the
West, in no small numbers. Is being
butchered. This will have a bad effect
on the stock raising business for a num
ber of years to come, says Mills.
Speaking of the local situation, Mills
said :
"I can see nothing In Kastern condi
tions that will affect Portland's pros
perity adversely. Our farmers are re
ceiving big prices for a bumper crop,
our merchants are prospering, collections
nre good, the banks are In sound condi
tion and the high cost of living Is coming
down and there should be no room In
the city for the pessimist"

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Harding's Act
In Arrest of
Heckler Draws
Fire From Cox
St. Joseph. Mo.. Sept. 29. (I. N
S. ) Commenting on the arrest of
Kdward A. Ryan, the attorney who j
"heckled" Senator Harding on the i
League of Nations at Baltimore
Monday night. f Governor James M.
Cox, in a speech here today, warned
the "senatorial oligarchy" that this
is a dangerous time for trying "Rus
sianized methods" In America.
ThoiiRh admitting a "hasty disavowal
of responsibility" had been made, the
governor laid the blame for Ryan's ar
rest upon Harding, asserting that "Sen
ator Harding told the audience In plain
words that he considered the interrup
tion a discourtesy, whereupon the man
was taken In charge by the police."
WHAT IF EI.ECTKH
If the reactionaries decline to be ques
tioned now, the governor asked, what
can the American public expect If they
should gain control of the public affairs?
Cox declared that there would not be
room enough in the state penitentiary
for all the persons who had asked him
questions during his western trip and
received respectful answers.
Continuing his denunciation of S na-
tor Harding's failure to offer "a defi
nite plan In substitution for the League
of Nations," Governor James M. Cox in
a speech, here today asserted that the
spirits of 10.000. 000 men wOio died in
the great war will haunt the statesman
who In the critical hour has nothing bet
ter to suggest than to go back and do
it all over apaln.
NO DEEIMTE PLA7T
"Senator Harding," the governor said,
"has no definite plan to offer because he
does not dare suggest to the mothers
of America the only alternative there is,
namely, a return to International nor
malcy of 1914 with autocratic monarchy
and sudden ultimatums and secret di
plomacy and burdensome armaments."
All other plans, the governor said, had
been tried and failed. Because Senator
Harding knows this. Cox declared, he
has better Judgment than to suggest
other plans now.
"The lnter-parliamentary union." Cox
continued, "held International confer
ences for a decade before the great war ;
The Hague court had been functioning
for more than 15 years but both were
Impotent to prevent or even postpone the
catastrophe.
"And as for the great alliance, in
stead of preventing war by a balance
of power they provoked war by a mul
tiplication of arms and of munitions; of
battle fleets and standing armlea.
"We are at the cross roads of destiny
and must make our decision. We must
choose either to retrace our steps over
the broad road of International anarchy,
which we have seen leads only to de
struction, or we must choose to ad
vance and travel along the straight
and narrow path of International Jus
tice, patrolled by the moral might of
the civilised nations of the world.
SPIRITS TO HirST
"The spirits of ten million men who
fought and died, the many millions who
must hobble through life on crutches
or go with pinned up sleeves, the thou
sands whose sightless eyes will never
again look upon the faces of their be
loved ; the widows with their weeds from
every race and land and the countless
Innocent children whose bodies have
been starved and whose souls have been
seared in the furnace of war all these
will haunt the dreams of the statesman
who In this critical hour has nothing
better to suggest than to go back and
do It all over again."
Although Cox was often heckled. It
was usually after he had stated that In
contrast to Harding he welcomed ques
tions He told hecklers speaking with a Ger
man accent at Tripp that "you have
been reading George Viereck's stuff."
and said that Vlereck had stated he
would deliver 6.000.000 German Amer
ican votes to Senator Harding.

By Robert J. Bender
(raited Tres Stiff Correspondent)

come out with an appeal for the
support of Governor Cox for presi
dent. The Progressives who signed the ap
peal, made public through the Demo
cratic national committee, are Harold
L. I ekes, Illinois member of the-Progressive
national committee In 1912 and
who supported Hughes In 1916; Mat
thew Hale. Massachusetts, chairman of
the Progressive national committee in
1916; Franc's J. Heney. Progressive can

The appeal to this group after scoring
the action of the Republican convention
for rejecting "Johnson and Wood and
Low den the candidates favored by 90
per cent of the pre-conventlon voting"
declares :
APPEAL TO IJJDEPElfDEJTTS
"Today the Independent voter is the
hope of our nation and the protector of
civilisation. Let those who revere the
memory- trf-Roosevelt remember partic
ularly that in the time when a Demo
cratic administration under Wilson was
adopting and writing into law the do
mestic policies of Theodore Roosevelt.
Senator Harding was combatting those
policies as revolutionary and socialis
tic, denouncing the author as a modern
Aaron Burr It is our patriotic
and progressive duty to energetically
and enthusiastically support Governor
James M. Cox."
So. as a result of the day's develop
ments. Democratic leaders were feeling
somewhat more hopeful than they have
at any previous time in the campaign.

luck Senator Warren O. Harding and
Mrs. Harding escaped death or
serious injury today when their
special train was partially wrecked
at Millvllle, a small station in the
West Virginia mountains.
While the Harding special was run
Ing at 35 miles an hour along the Ohio
river between Parkersburg and Hunting
ton, the trucks under the Harding pri
vate oar "Ideal" broke down and the
car left the tracks. A Baltimore It Ohio
brakeman. sensing something was wrong,
applied the emergency brakes and the
train waa brought to a halt Just after
crossing a tresUe over a deep gully.
The "Ideal" rode the wooden ties across
the hlarh hrlda-e. sulittlmt many of them.
Senator Harding examined the track
and car closely.
"Who's the Jonah on thla trip, sen
ator?" he was askwT.
"Jonah." he replied, looking at the
splintered trestle and the yawning
chasm below, "you mean who la the
mascot"
Senator Harding's special train left
Wheeling, W. Vs.. about daylight He
got out of that city Just ahead of the
arrival of Franklin D. Roosevelt, demo
cratic vice presidents! nominee, who Is
scheduled to speak tonight from the hall
where Senator Harding spoke last night
At Wheeling the Republican candidate
was made the central figure of the big
gest political celebration he has yet en
countered. Republicans from three
states West Virginia. Pennsylvania and
his own state of Ohio Joined In giving
the senator an uproarious demonstration
of faith, which lasted until the early
hours of this morning. Leaving Wheel

Baltimore Ohio to Parkersburg and
Huntington, both Ohio river towns, and
thence to Ashland, Ky., where the prln
clpal speech of the day was made.
WAJTT8 SKILLED CREW
At Ashland, before a great open air
gathering of river men and mountaineers
from three states. Senator Harding
argued for the "sailing of the ship of
state with a full and skilled crew."
' I cannot- express myself too strong
ly," fit saVa- against one man govern
ment with' untrammeled. centralised
power. I am against the spirit of en
croachment on assumption which may
'lead one of the greatest departments o
our government to invade tha functions
of another.
"If I am elected I mean to do more
than cooperate and coordinate with con
gress I am going to consult and con
verse with the men and women of Amer
ica. TKC8TS PUBLIC THOFvIHT
"I would rather trust tne great un
dercurrent of American thought and
conviction than the fellow with the
greatest propaganda program ever In
augurated. We may trust the deliber
ate judgment of our people on affairs
at home and abroad. And I mean to
learn that Judjrment"
Senator Harding made a plea for the
development of American waterways,
not as a competitor of American rail
ways, but aa a coworker In the solv
ing of the transportation problem. Ha
scored both his own and the Democratic
party for past mistakes In making
"pork barrel" appropriations for waUr
power in the state department.
From Ashland Senator Harding's
train will recross the Ohio river Int6

Kenova and then strike northward Into
Ohio for home. The senator la sched
