Oregon hu -two representatives on
these two Important committees now,

not to be returned to the senate at the
coming election. ,
All river nd harbor Improvement leg
islatlon, and? generally speaking, all
legislation having to do with legisla
tion affecting Oregon commerce, passes
1 through the hands of the senate com
mittee on commerce. The verdict of
: that committee is. In practically every
instance, the verdict of the Whole sen-
, ate. It favor passes and its disfavor
, kills .bills which come under Its Juris
diction. JOJTER IS CHAIRMAN
Senator Wely Jones of Washing
ton Is the chairman of the commerce
committee. Hi, Senator Chamberlain
and tienator MeNary, are the only sen
ators on It from any state even near
the Western foot of the Rocky moun
tains. Ail the rest are from Minnesota,
Illinois, Ohio, Maine. New York, Wis
consin, Rhode Island. Delaware, New
Jersey, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Vir
ginia, Alabama, North Carolina, Mis
souri and Arkansas. These senators
know nothing of Oregon's needs and
they have no Interest In Oregon's ad
vancement. They listen, for obvious
reasons, to the opinion and the sugges
tions of the committee chairman.
Senator Jones Is from and of Seattle.
(Seattle Is the ancient and consistent
enemy of Oregon's commercial growth
and advancement both as to her water
. commerce and her business on land.
For years Judge Burke of Seattle has
been a powerful lobbylWt for Seattle
and for the Great - Northern railroad,
whose Interests are, likewise bound up
in Its Puget Sound ' terminals. He has
been the spokesman and friend of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce at Wash
ington. WANT SEICATOR DEFEATED
Ex-Senator Sam Files has law offices
! affiliated with those of Judge Uurke
at Seattle. He works with him for the
advancement of Seattle Interests at
Washington. He has been sent down
into Oregon to do what he may In an
attempt to accomplish the defeat of
Senator Chamberlain. Washington busi
ness interests, hostile and unfriendly
to the growth and development of Ore
gon commerce and Oregon Industry,
want Senator Chamberlain off . Che
mmerqe committee of the United
States senate. Senator Piles has been
bent down Into Oregon to help Wash
ington's big business interests get Cham-
-berlain and his power and Influ
ence for Oregon out of the United
States senate and .off the commerce
committee, to destroy the 12-year-old
foundation of prestige, and power for
Oregon's Interest wiiieh has been bulld
ed by Senator Chamberlain,
Those who know Washington condl-
' tions generally and the way things are
- accomplished for a community in the
senate realize that Senator Chamberlain
occupies a position of influence in
Washington which could not be filled
by. any new man for years to come,
even though' his successor might ' be as
well or better equipped by mind and
personal expedience than he. They
realise why Washington, business men
want Chamberlain out of the " senate.
' even to the extent of sending Senator
Piles from Seattle to help them get
him out Those who do not think, or
do not know, do not see through the
game. Those who do know see what
Seattle wants.

that he was headed for the far side of
Aba river, and turned back. He lost
track of McDonald In the darkness.
Couy does not know how he escaped
from the 'rolling car. He made his way
alone up the steep bank and hastened
to the automobile club- for assistance.
Authorities were unable to learn the
name of the driver of the car which
Mcintosh passed. He drove to the club
and reported the - accident, but failed
to tell Chambers his name.
HEAR CALL FOB HELP
Chamber and Cony hurried back to
the scene of the accident. They heard
Concannon calling for help and climbed
down the ban and pulled him from
the water. They dragged him up the
bank with a rope.

The night was dark and the light
from several automobiles along the
bank made', the shadows below seem

river bank for traces of the missing
men. There was nothing that could be
done until morning, they said.
They were unable to tell whether or
not any of the men were still in the

Concannon was placed in an ambulance
of the Ambulance Service company. He
sustained a slight cut on the side of his

for a while and was unable to give much
Information concerning the party.
He was taken to th county Jail,

He had taken a few drinks, but claimed
he did no know where the liquor was

Couy and Concannon were both in the

LEAGUE! DOLLAR
WHEAT,
"t By .Herbert W. Walker !
Syracuse, N. Y- Oct. 18. (U. P.)
Governor Jam js M. Cox; speaking
before a crowd that jammed a thea
tre here today, pledged that If
elected he "will confer with ex-President
Taft. Ellhu Root and their re
spective groups," in addition, to the
senate and president, in ecuriif rat
ification ox ine treaty witir reserva
tions that do not Impair the league
of Nations Covenant.
A national" policy of Isolation and
selfishness will not make "America
first," throughout the world. Governor
Cex said.
En route fier the,. Democratic candi
date emphasised that during the i re
maining IS working days of the cam
paign he will attack continuously what
he calls the wiggling and wobbling! at
tude of Senator Harding toward ! the
League of Nations. His first speech
here was before an organisation! of
first-time voters. i
The League of Nations, the governor
said, is founded upon the spirit of
American freedom.
COJTFIDEJfT OF JfOTHZBS
Cox declared he is confident the moth
ers and the young men will back the
league ,
Touching education, the governor said
oar standard should be. -Va triangle of
velopment" '' :
Progressive government, he said,
means that every man has an abso
. lutely equal chance." " '
"I -hold that the boy In this country
riot born rich ought tot thank fortune
for it," he said. "In this new order of
tmngs wnicn young men are inaugur-
ating we will show a waiting world a
country where human souls outweigh!.
the sordid dollars and where humanity's
needs outmeasure financial greeds.'
Cox said dollar wheat and business
stagnation will come in the near fu
ture -turtles it is certain that the United
States will go Into the League of Na
tions. "If America is to Isolate herself from
the world, as some political leaders ad
vocate, she must reduce her production
to her consumption, and fhat would
send us back 60 years industrially,"! Cox
said.
LEAGUE OR DOLLAR WHEAT
"My Judgment, is that dollar wheat
and a business recession more empha
sised than during the last few weeks
will oome unless u Is certain tnat we
are going into the league. The mar
ket for our surplus has been in Eu
rope, but Europe cannot get credit to
buy until it is assured that she can pay
h.er "war debts, and she cannot give; that
assurance until all nations agree to end
expenditures for armament. i-
"How any business man who strips
himself to his own conscience can be
against the league Is more than I can
understand. The excess profits tax
should be repealed, but if we are not
in the league by this time next year
there will be no excess profits."
Cox declared that the law of supply
and demand in Europe fixed the price
of wheat in this country and that the
price had declined during the last; few
weeks because there waa virtually no
European demand for our surplus. ;

LUCK AND MONEY I
(Continued From Pee One)
which prevails In every part of; tre
country that the average citizen wan-s
to vote against the Democratic parry
for reasons generally Illogical and will
cast his ballot for Harding becshise he
is th only agent 'Mailable for doing s-.
HARDING CALLED WEAK i
One of the most astounding features
of th campaign la that even the leaders
who are aggressively direct in the battle
for the Republican presidential candi
date express little admiration for him ;
are willing to concedee to the Democratic
claim that Governor Cox is much mora
attractive candidate ; that -Mr. Hardinx
doe not appeal to the popular imagina
tion; that in an even contest on indi
vidually his opponeat Would beat hin
two to one
The advantage enjoyed by the Re
publican candidate is therefore not at
tributed to either the. belief that he U
the better candidate of the two,; but
rather that he must be voted for in
order to accomplish the defeat of thu
Democratic party. AU of ths signs.
portents, straws and other agencies of
popular expression reported by the lead
ers' of both parties point to Mr. Hard ¬
ing s election two weeks before the con
test. SOCIALISTS FOR G. O. P.
Th Republicans, boldly assert it, and
the Democrats, hdping for some unex
pected reversal In present conditions,
are compelled to admit It In almost
very state west of the Mississippi,
where the Democrats believed popular
sentiment would swing around to them
as it did four years ago. the existing
prejudice against their party in the
Eastern states seems just as pro
flounced. The same story is told in
the reports of ths Democratic leaders.
Their state and congressional candi
dates are now held to hav a better
chance than their presidential ticket.
The Republicans are aided by independ
ent groups, such as the Non-partisan
league, and even to some extent by th
milder Socialist units. The influence
that dictates this (temporary . policy is
purely one or individual group -expedi
ency -end is not inspired by any genu
ine belief in Republican doctrine or
ambitions. The trut& of th matter Is
that th strategy of th Republicans
in concentrating the grievances': of
many distinct groups against : th
Democratic party has been apparently
ud to the present successful.
lcckIahd moket
Democratio arguments have fallen on
unwilling and prejudiced ears: those
of the Republicans accepted without
analysis of complete understanding.
Systematic organisation, adequate finan
cial means and a lot of good luck
rather than the best case have all con
tributed to Republican advantage, j The
sole disturbing factor in the Republican
camp is - tn leagu or Nations. i
Here the Democrats are conceded by
the Republicans to have the best of
the argument. Th trouble is that
there appear to b as many Democrats
opposed to.it as there axe Republicans
In Ita-favor. The exact division of sen
timent will only be determined in th
final balloting, jsvtaenc that the Re
publicans appreciate, the amount of dy
nam lie in me issue is easily Obtained.
"The managers of the party have jdone
their best to prevent the league from

I was informed today by a Renublioan

thority that several million conies of

ies of this "edited" covenant have not
been generally distributed, but sent only

It i. Republican theory that the less
said About the league th better it will
be for the Coolidge ticket
Another feature of the Republican
plan in dealing with th league has been
to instruct party workers to divert the
minds of women voters TlOw It by call
ing their attention "to the failur of the
Wilson administration tqJm prove living
conditions."- Another has been to "sug
gest" to Republican editors that they re
frain from commenting on the daily
shifting of Harding's position on th
issue. ' .. , .
Democratic leaders, while admitting
the advantage enjoyed by the oppoatlon,
assert that the "widespread interest In
the league issue recently evidenced by
voters n the Western states Is most en
couraging." Some of them .venture th
prediction that the result, of this "wide
spread interest will surprise the Repub
licans." DOUBTFUL-STATES ATTRACT g
TheawSSsagers of both parties are pre
paring to concentrate on the "doubtful
states" in .the remaining two weeks of
the campaign, particularly those in the
Middle West. They do not, agree, of
course, as to which are the . "doubtful
states."
But the activities of th. party man
agers in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky. West
Virginia, Maryland. California, Colo
rado, Utah and Idaho make it Quite ap
parent that both sides are uncertain as
to the final alignment of them.
- The Democratic managers do not con-
kota, but assert they have a chance to
win them for Cox. But they do admit
that they must carry all of the doubtful
states, plus the three named, to give
them the decision.
CONCEDE 17 STATES
The Republican managers, minutely
scanning reports from the variable
Western states for "weak spots," assent
to the Democratic claim that Cox will
carry, 17 states, all In the Southern belt,
with the exception of Montana. Arisoaa,
Nevada, New Mexico, reluctantly Mis
souri, with a total of ICS electoral votes.
The Republican managers are frankly
depending on the negro vote to win the
"doubtful states" on the border, and th
Democratic managers agree that If
rHarding carries any of them It will be
aue to. support irom men ciuniu. xmy
assert, however, that the delivery of the
negro vote to Harding will lnsurs the
support of the . Democratlcticket by
white voters of .both sexes who wsuld
otherwise vote this Republican ticket.
One reason for the Republican confi
dence as to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and
Missouri is that special attention has
been paid te voters of that race and that
large sums of money were "devoted to
organizing it." More colored men have
been put up for offices than ever before
In the history of American politics. In
Ohio alone there are six colored candi
dates for the legislature, four in Indiana,
three In Kentucky and on In Missouri
In some of these states colored men
have been generously remembered in
the distribution of local county offices.
.In one of two Southern states, notably
Mississippi, full county tickets composed
ofegroes have been named.

of one block to Trafalgar square
The rioting started about 11 a. m..
when a comparatively small crowd tried
to pass a police cordon across the head
of Downing street.
A procession of several thousand un
employed had entered White Hall in an
effort to reach the premier's residence.
At the head of Downing street they en
countered the police who numbered
about 30O. ,
Repulsed in their rirst eirort to pene
trate the cordon, the marchers rushed
the constables, who drew their batons
and clubbed several of the men in the
crowd.
The crowd, displaying red flags and
shouting, milled around in front of the
line of police, who stood grimly in their
places until a second crowd of several
thousand men came marching from the
direction of Trafalgar Square and the
Thames embankment.
The main body of demonstrators
marched around White Hall, singing
and shouting Jibes at Prime Minister
Lloyd George, who was presumed to be
in nis residence oenina me police cor

The mob made a second effort to
smash through the police cordon. This
time football tactics were used by the
rioters, who charged the police re
peatedly. The police formed a line

Th police -now took th offensive and
charged in an effort to drive the crowd
out of White Hall.
Thrown against the balustrade in
front of tite foreign office, the rioters
were pressed against it with such force
that it toppled over. The stones in the

Msny of the missiles crashed through
the windows of government buildings..
Policemen -were toppled from their
horses. Others were seised by the riot

Unable to hold their own against the
police, who came on again and again
in spite xt the stoning to which they
were subjected, the crowd began to
give way and swarm out of the area

the confusion of -maddened horses, who
had lost their . riders, plunging and

Marlon, Ohio, Oct. it. (L N. S.)
Thousands of visitors from , all
parts of Ohio and many sections f
the Middle West poured into' Maribf,
today br - motor and special train
fortthe 'American First Day cerer
monies about ' Senator Harding's
front porch! .f "
The gathering is the largest of the.
front porch campaign and is probably
the last big siifrimage that will come
to Marion. Arrangements have ' been
made to care for 10,000 persona nearly
doubling Marlon's population for the
oay. -
FIRST VOTERS HIS OBJECT
Senator Harding will address the
throng from hie front porch this after
noon after the visitors parade in mili
tary formation down Mount Vernon
avenue. Former service men will direct
the marching columns, Senator Hard
ing's address will be directed particu
larly, to "first voters," those who have
reached their majority since last elec
tion, and the newly enfranchised women.
Included among these are several thou
sands of students from a score of Ohio
educational institutions.
OTHER STATES REPRESENTED
Jrt'hll most of the visitors cam from
Ohio there were large delegations fnpm
many points outside the state Wiscon
sin, Illinois and Indiana were well rep
resented. A party of 800 came rrom
Pittsburg and a like number from De
troit on a special train.
' Special trains wer run from several
Ohio , cities. Cleveland sent several.
knd Dayton, the home of Governor Cox,
sent one Several special trains and a
great number of motor cars brought
Columbus' contribution. Cleveland also
contributed several hundred of foreign
birth, Poles, Italians and Hungarians.
Governor Calvin Coolidge, Senator
Harding's running mate, was to have
attended the celebration today, but was
unable to do so.

chknee they might have had this year
ven if the Idea of Democratic pros
perity could have been convincingly pre
sented. For Instance, a big display ad
vertisement appeared In the 'Buffalo
Yolksfreund two days ago, signed by
the Cleveland Watcher and Anselger and
the Cincinnati Free Press, in which
Govenor Cox Is denounced for, the part
he played in forbidding the teaching of
German in Ohio' schools. The advertise
ment Is first an appeal for German na
tionalism, and then declares that four
monrtsS). after the armistice. April, 181.
Governor Cox, in a statement or mes
sage, said :
-'I assert without reservation that th
teaching of German to our children, no
matter where they are being, educated
during their impressionable years. Is not
only a distinct menace to Americanism,
but It Is part of a conspiracy formed
long ago by the German government In
Berlin."

Then the advertisement, signed by the
two Ohio dally newspapers, goes on to
taU the Germans of other states that
when an attempt waa made to exempt
parochial schools from this prohibition or
the teaching of German, Governor Cox
denounced those schools as breeders of
sedition.
"It ie th sacred duty," said the adver
tisement, "ot every American or Ger

of pride, of every woman who knows
how to treaure mother love, to utter a

In talking with one or two Germans
here. I waa reminded that while the .
Democrats at San Francisco may have -thought
they were doing a clever thing
by putting a "Roosevelt" . on the ticket.
they evidently -"forgot what the name.

. Indeed. German-Americans, they said',
are convinced Franklin Roosevelt must -
entertain toward German-Americans the
same nosius reelings as the other mem-"
bers ef the Roosevelt family have ex-
pressed. . t
Incidentally, it will be noted
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Jr.. who is
campaigning lor Harding, has been dls-
lereetly. kept from this section, which
shows that eitner in Republican man
agers arent worrying about th situa
tion in this end or the state, or that thy
dont want to complicate matters.
Among the Italians there has been no
active campaign of foreign questions.
but an overwhelming majority of Italian-
Americans have for the last two years
been antagonised by editorials and other
expressions from Italian leaders de
nouncing President Wilson for having
prevented Italy from obtaining posses
sion Of th city of Flume. That question
has been agitated as ltalinan national
ism hereabouts, and the Democrats will
hear from it at the polls. . J
On the other hand, th writer has been ,
assured th high cost of living will .
probably be th controlling Issu and .
that th declln tn th price of sugar
was regarded as an evidence that ther

that the public was gouged by profiteers.
