TilU OIUXOIJ. DAILY . JO'JKiiAL, POT-O-AliD.- Cll-COIJ. 1, UviUuui ARE REGARDED AS DOUBTFUL STATES By David Lawrsnce (CnprrlsM. 1129, by The Jirn Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 83. 1111 nois may be dismissed fn a single sentence overwhelmingly Republi can. Not much harm has, been done the national ticket by the factional fights insid the state. As for In diana, the situation ia far moro In teresting. Three weeks ago the Democrats them selves would have conceded defeat But a Democratic drift hss started. Repub licans admit It is a League of Nations sentiment become articulate. While the Democrats are uncertain as to the ulti mate sice of the drift, the Republicans confidently say that they will parry the slate by 60.000, perhaps a more conserva tive estimate would be 40.000. This may teem a huge -majority compared to the (000 which Indiana gave Hughes In 1916, but the country must be prepared for unusual figures both In Democratic and Republican states this year, as In many Instances' the women vote amounts to -10 per cent of the male vote. Majorities of 40.000 (his year really would be about 10,000 in other years. ISSlVlS ABSTRACT Indiana, which is so close to Ohio that It ought to tell offhand which one of its two next door neighbors in Ohio is the better man, is voting on entirely ab stract issues this year; The personality of Cox or Harding is not a factor. Here are some things that do count: First Fully 80,000 negroes will vote the Republican ticket this year. Some .well Informed political reporters tell the -writer that the Democrats would have a majority of the white vote in ordinary elections. Second The Germans of the state, and large numbers of them are normally Republican, are voting for Harding al most to a man. e Some leading editors insist that the Republican campaign has systematically cultivated the German vote for the last year. The fact is, it need not to hare been sought. It is naturally resentful o( Wilson because he did not keep America from fighting Germany. Third The Irish vote Isn't going to leave the Democratic party ia such large proportions as was believed at the out set of this campaign, but the IrlsH have been the backbone of the party and the Democrats never can afford defections In Indiana, as the strength of the two parties is normally about even. Fourth The desire for a change In administration in Washington is an ef fective influence where the. League of Nations as an Issue has not penetrated the electorate. LOOKS DEMOCRATIC On the surface Indiana ought to go Democratic this year. The bulk of the press is staunchly fighting for the pres ent League of Nations. The Indian apolis News, as Influential as any news paper In the state and a Republican newspaper besides, a strong advocate of the nomination of Leonard Wood, a supporter of Hughes in 19161. is fighting Harding on the league Issue and saying very little about the? rest of his cam paign. It so happens that the majority of stock In the News" is owned by some of the relatives of the late Charles W. Fairbanks, Republican vice president, and the Fairbanks boys are campaign ing for Harding, but "under the law of the state and claunes of the will, the surviving partners even though minor ity stockholders have been for the league from the start, and are continuing to wage a fight for the covenant, advo cating, as they always have, proper res ervations). Now the "Schaffer newspapers ihe Indianapolis Star, Muncie Star and Terre Haute Star have similarly been for the league, although Republican on other questions. All these newspapers look at the league Issue as hardly an ephemeral thing and they are just as likely to bring their Influence after election to persuade Harding to go into the league with reservations as firmly as they have urged him to favor such a proposal in the past STATE ISSUES HELP State issues have helped the Demo crats, too. The state Republican admin istration is not excessively populsr. Senator Jim Watson is opposed by union labor and has managed, to pile up plenty of other enmities. If everybody voted as -he or she talks, Watson woId lose j his seat to Thomas Taggart, the, Demo cratic nominee. That easily would be the case If this was an off year and it would surely be true if the Democratic nominee were somewhat more inspiring tha'n Taggart, though the latter, is fairly popular and has a good organisation behind him. Watson may creep into of fice by a bare majority, but It will take a , Harding landslide to carry him In. He Is at least 25,000 votes weaker than "the top of the ticket. WATSON IS FREIGHTAGE If the presidential ticket wins by 50,000 to f0?000. iim Watson will resume his , place tn the United States senate. In diana has not been In the habit of scratching tickets with a 50,000. diverg ence between the two parties. Moreover, the Republicans are making quite a drive for a straight ticket, using the age . old argument that Democrats and Re publicans have so often employed, name, ly, that there Is danger of losing one's vot. for president If a ticket Is scratched. Of course, this applies to the Ignorant voter and Is frequently an ef fective argument. The Democrats, by ihe way, will get a big labor vote. McAdoo's visit has helped to bring many railroad workers Into line. It is. of course, a useless com- ' parlson, but many people In the Demo cratic camp Insist that McAdoo would . . have been a stronger candidate In In diana than Cox. This would seem to square with the wavering which Taggart himself exhibited, in throwing; the In diana delegation at San ' Francisco, first to Cox, then to McAdoo and finally to Cox. Indiana was by no means a hopeless proposition for the Democrats at the opening of the campaign. The press was voluntarily or involuntarily help ful to the Democratic cause, but the de Sire to elect Taggart has filled the minds Of. the party workers and the Cox cam paign Itself has, with the exception of the league issue, done utile to win votes on domestic Issues. Indiana will go Republican on the presidential ticket. (Tomorrow's dispatch win deal with .' e situation; in neniucay). . ' : ' v Rains Are Predicted . During Coming Week Washington. Oct 8 J. - (U.

BOYS WHO ENTERED Four Washington high school boys arrested on Larch mountain for breaking into the Crown-Willamette Paper company's cabin by W. M. Arrington, were fined the costs, amounting to $15, by Judge Jacob' Kanzler In the court of domestic re lations. Arrington has been em ployed to patrol the mountain for vandals, under cooperative arrange ments between the forest service, the sheriff's office and the paper com pany. Since it was shown the boys had done no actual damage beyond prying open the window and had not shown van dal ic intentions they were compelled to pay only for the sheriff's time, amount ing to $3.75 each. The boys werrf Judd Griffith. 1142 East Main street ; H. Hof mann, room 262 Medical building ; W. E. Hollo way, 6 East Eleventh street, and M. M. McGrath, 445 East Fourteenth street Arrington began work October 11 and on his first trip up the mountain ar rested the four boys who had broken Into the cabin and brought them to Port land. Decision to patrol the mountain dur ing the winter resulted from the devas tation to which this famous recreation center has been subjected In winters past by unscrupulous persons. Burning of the Trails club cabin for firewood, cutting down some or the finest trees and breaking into the government cabin are among the acts of vandalism. Ar rington has been authorised to arrest any person committing any act of van dalism on the mountain.

"When my wife and I had listened to the noise at the door for a few seconds. I went and got my revolver and threw the door open. I saw a dark form in the hallway. "'Who are you? I demanded. There was no answer. I shot once and the body fell to the floor and rolled down the stairs to the first landing. As the body was rolling I caught A glimpee of the man's face and it was then that I realised who I had shot." Police were unable to find a logical explanation of why Rev. Mr. Ruff had gone to the second floor instead of stop ping at his own apartment. The theory was advanced that he might have absent-mindedly walked past his own door. BEST QUARREL DENIED Sextro denied he had quarreled with the pastor over rents. Following his preliminary examination police held Sextro, for further question ing. Mrs. Hiram White, Interviewed by the United Press, gave added weight to the story told by Sextro. Mrs. White, who occupies the apart ment just above the Sextros, said she was tn bed.

Who is there? several times," Mrs. White said. "I could hear no answer. Suddenly there was a shot" Mrs. White said the hallway was dark and the face of anyone standing there could not be recognised at that time of the day. This was confirmed by in vestigators. , Mrs. White also confirmed the state ment made by Sextro that her apart ment had been robbed recently.

Irvine There is every indication that the Irish vote in Oregon ia breaking to Governor Cox. Formerly, almost solid for Harding, the Irish vote is now divided and many Irishmen de clare that those Interested in Irish freedom will ultimately line up. for Cox. The reasons are many. First is Sen ator Harding's declaration on September XI. that the Irish question "is not a question for official America, America has already meddled excessively abroad without Invitation." ' Many an Irishman saw in that statement the Quashing of all hope of American aid to Ireland la the event of Harding election. Following immediately upon Harding's action in turning his back on the Irish came Cox's declaration that he would take the Irish question before the League of Nations. There) can b nn ahMlnr nlav In the world so long as the peoples of the smaller weak nations are held in politi cal peonage by powerful or imperialistic governments," Cox declared. RECORD BROUGHT OUT Another reason for the switch of the Irish ' vote is the damaging record of Senator Harding in the senate which has recently been brought to light He voted against a senate resolution expressing the hope that England would exercise clemency .. in the treatment of Irish political prisoners. He voted against self-determination whenever It appeared. He voted against political autonomy for the Philippines. He voted against an amendment to the peace treaty providing that Article 11 "shall not deny the right of revolution to the people of Ireland" and other peoples governea wunout meir own consents He voted against a reservation piovid lng for withdrawal from the league if any member makes forcible seizure of the territory of weaker peoples. The following resolution by Gerry was placed before the senate: GERRY'S RESERVATION "In consenting to the ratification of the treaty with' Germany the United States adheres to the principle of self determination -and to the resolution of sympathy for the Irish people for a government of their own choice adaopted by the -senate June 6. 1919." Harding voted to lay the resolution on the table, killing it without the nec essity for a direct vote. The motion was lost and he then voted for an amendment striking out the principle of self-determination,' thus committing the senate against that principle. The amendment was lost, and Senator Harding finally voted against the Gerry resolution Itself, thus squarely opposing self-determination for the people of Ire land or any other country. These facts are becoming known to the Irish in Portland. As a result they are rapidly jumping to Cox. BOGUS CLAIMS Moreover, they are learning of the bogus claims of the opponents of the League of Nations relative to the effect of that document on Irish independence, They are learning that Article 11 pro vides that the Irish question can be brought before the league try a mem ber, that the other nations cannot unite with England against Ireland uder Ar ticle X, which deals etlrely with ex ternal aggression, and that the league and Cox offers far more opportunity lor Irish freedom than Senator Hard lng and his . separate peace. Moreover, one Irishman pointed out today, "Ireland certainly cannot be worse off under the .league than she would be under present conditions with Harding as president" The marked change in Irish sentiment and the drift to Cox that Is unquestioned, has led Or. E. T. Hedlund, chairman of the Cox committee In Multnomah coun ty, to declare his belief that Multnomah county will roll up a plurality for Cox in Novert-er. DR.

"If -it refuses by said vote, then in the event the9 state gives a majority p for the act, the port district is saddled with a possible aggregate of 161.000,000 . bond and tax burdens, against Its will, and the port commission goes on with its scheme without consolidation. "The Oregonlan avoids such contin gency by calling attention to the sug gestion of somebody that In such cass the port commission will 'doubtless' agree not to lsaue bonds tor purchase of lands without a referendum to a port election. VEBT IJrTERESTIKG "Very interesting ! It seems we have authorities whose suggestions and pos sible agreements are of more Interest and force than the legal acts we are In vited to establish. "The dock and port commissions nd the city have pledged 110.000 each to the committee of 15 to Inaugurate and mature their plan. "The ballot measure Vnultlnir- con firms the bonding powers of 6 per cent . mil 1 n,r Mnf ,Imb1v vmUiI hv thm .... in th. Mmnllnlon. authorises an additional bonding power, exclusive of the S10.560.000 of dock bonds to be assumed, of 5 per cent on bonds out standing. This last power Is continuing and can be used to keep such 6 per cent (on present tax roll yielding fit, 500,000V of Indebtedness. PAPF.B CONTRADICTED 'The power would not be -exhausted, as the OreRonlan states It would, by the issue of that amount The proponents admit that In private but not tn public, so the admission would reach the voter. If s strange that being financed to the extent they are, the committee Is unable to get all the provisions" of the act squarely before the voters. 'The only real limitation to the bond ing and taxing power sought In the bill is the capacity of the property of the city to carry the burden. So that In view of powers vested by the act, the state of the bond market and declining values of property, It certainly behooves the voter to be wary of voting away the, home rule power as proposed by the powerful Interests back of this bill."
