G. 0. P. IS HURT BWSCIRGE By Louis Seibold (CopfHcht, 102Q, by Ptw Prbllhin Com ptnr. New York World. J Chicago, Oct. 2 Inquiry of im portant leaders of the national cam paign reveals the fact that the or ganization which is trying to elect Mr. Hardlr.gr to the presidency is poverty stricken. Instead of being bulging with greenbacks and gold", its war chests are pretty nearly empty, that is, if the statements made are correct. These statements are accompanied by the prediction that when National Treas urer Upham files his balance check with the senate committee which has been In vestigating the campaign funds raised by political parties. It will show a deficit of from $400,000 to $900,000, with the prospect of reaching, if not exceeding $1,500,000 wlien all the Mils have been paid. This condition Is attributed to many causes, the most Important three of which are. First The average citizen has been made to believe by Governor Cox, the Democratic presidential candidate, that contributions . to the Republican cam " palgn fund have really reached a tre mendous sum, even approximating the $18,000,000 he specifically named In his charge that the Republican party is try- lng to "buy the presidency." 1160 LIMIT 18 CHECK Second The limit of $1000 for each contribution has prevented men able to give much more from carrying out their wishes and discouraged the less well-to-do from giving that amount. Third The impression generally pre vailing throughout the country that the Republican organization possesses unlim ited financial resources has encouraged the .leaders of state and congressional contests to increase their first esti mates and to demand from 25 to 100 per cent more money than was provided in the original budget of the national com mittee. It is predicted by some of the Republican leaders with whom I talked that the balance sheet of the treasurer will show an increase of at least 30 per cent in the total amount which he and Chairman Hays said would be needed to pay the expenses of the cam paign for national, state, senate and house of representatives candidates. The amount was fixed by them for the na tional ticket at $3,079,000; for the sen ate, $200,000 ; for the house of repre sentatives, $500,000, with an additional $1,000,000 raised under auspices of state organizations and expended through the .same agencies, or $4,700,000 In all. It now appears probable the total cost of the Republican campaign up to date may . exceed $6,500,000. Every state leader In the country believes that the national committee is fairly rolling in money. Consequently elaborate ventures have been adopted in most of the states, par ticularly in 'those in the "doubtful" col umn. INQUIBT HALTS PLAN . The senate investigation headed off this plan, but it has not been dropped by any means. That there will be a big deficit to liquidate after the election is admitted by some of the most im- I port ant men in the Republican organi sation. One of them told me that a group of underwriters' would make up the deficit by advancing money enough to complete the campaign, with the un derstanding that after the election the limit was to be raised from $1000 to $5000 for "organization" expenses during the next four years. From the fund the deficit which now confronts the na tional committee wllf be covered. Some of the western ' leaders express great Indignation over what they de scribed as a failure of William Boyce Thompson, the chairman of the national ways and means committee, to deliver the financial support they expected from him. From all accounts Thompson has failed to "make good.t and the New Tork - quota, which f was i fixed at' SL 600,000. fetti below:; less than, one-half that' amount Western leaders believe that Thompson has turned over to the Wadsworth and Miller managers a large percentage of the money raised under the Hays plan than It Vas contemplated either should have. SEW TOBK OX BLACKLIST In any event. New York has been placed on the "blacklist"' by the western managers for its failure to raise the amount assigned it. Thompson is cred ited with having been extremely tardy in reporting the result of his efforts to raise money in New Tork, Pennsyl vania and other Eastern states, and less expeditious . in transmitting the amount of money that be was expected to turn into the national fund. This complaint, however, is not directed sole ly against New Tork. As a matter of fact, very few of the states are said to have "made good" after the publication of the Cox charges. Protests and warn ings sent out by National .Chairman Hayes and Treasurer Upham are ac cepted in a Pickwickian sense, and have not had the least eeffect in modifying the plans adopted by the state leaders. Among these leaders there exists the absolute conviction that the national committee has raised the money needed to finance the most lavish undertakings. I heard In Ohio the other day that the Republican state organization there esti mated the amount of money it will need to defeat Governor Cox at $1,600,000. Inl support of this statement, I was in formed Treasurer Upham had notified the state leaders that if they expected to get much money they would have to raise it themselves. He is said to have told the chairman of the Ohio ways and means committee that he expected the city of Cleveland to raise $200,000 in addition to the amount already con tributed by that town. Reports of a similar nature came from other states. Half a dozen lively rows have already been caused by the refusal of the na tional committee to "come across" with the amount of money demanded by some of the , state leaders under the threat of possible loss of the electoral vote of the Hardlng-Coolldge ticket. DICLINES TO BE HELD VT The Republican board of strategy, which is composed of Hayes, Upham, Hart, Weeks, Slllls, Dougherty, Kealing, Mulvane and Hamon, has taken the stand that they will not be "held up" by state leaders. The board has re plied to several cries for help by assert ing there is no doubt of the success of the Republican ticket in most of the states from which come most of the ex cessive demands for money. The attention of state leaders has also been called to their original esti mates which complied with most of the demands. Absolute assurance has been given these leaders that the opinion shared by them that the national com mittee has raised a good deal more money than could be legitimately used, is not justified by the facts. Most of them have been advised to get busy In their respective states and pass the same among Republicans to make up any deficit that may exist. I was in formed by one of the members of the national committee today, that "Cox did a good deal more damage' to us than he knows." ' "Of course, his statement that we set out to raise $16,000,000 was just a pipe dream. We could get along on one third of that amount, with money to spare, if we had not ' created the impression throughout- the country that we were getting a great deal more than was ac tually needed. While most Republican state leaders public repudiate Cox' charge, they really thought he was tell ing the truth. Consequently they im mediately set about revising upwards their original estimates, which were al lowed by us. The fact of the matter is, that Instead of encouraging contribu tions, the Cox charges practically closed a lot of prospects we were counting on." From another source I learned that Just as the time Governor Cox made his charges that the Republican party was trying to "buy the presidency," Repub lican managers were considering the ad visability of raising the limit of Individual- contributions from $1000 to $5000. SUE PURCHASED BY CHEMICAL CO Establishment of a sulphur refin ing factory In Portland on a per manent basis by the Stauffer Chem. Ical company of San Francisco was definitely assured Friday when par chase of the Columbia Engineering Works was completed by represen tatives of the company. Negotiations for the site have been made by representatives of the company since September 1. First public ani nouncement that the company was in terested in Portland as a place for a sulphur refining plant was made two weeks a got when officials of the com pany conferred with the city council upon the probable effect of city regula tions. Sale of the site was made by C. M. Miall. Machinery for the new factory Is on its way and the first carload of sulphur arrived this morning. That the company is planning a big development is indicated by the fact that an option has been taken upon a 10-acre tract adjoining the site pur chased. The original investment will amount to more than $1,000,000, it is said. N Swelled Early; See Hard Winter Medford. Or., Oct. 2. According to prospectors, who are coming down to Medford from mountains and hills to spend the winter, the necks of the deer have started to swell already, which Is earlier than usual and ac cording to -forest lore Is a sign of a long and hard winter. Deer are not so palatable when thua affected. The mils hereabouts are full of hunters, mostly from Portland and Willamette valley points. COX REITERATES DEMAND ON ROOT HOSPITAL TO GET ! OF CIRCUIT COURT FARM BUREAU IS BEGUN BY COUNTY Guns Better Than Votes, for Women Says Girl Warrior Washington, Oct. 23 .1. N. S.) Vic toria Janushalts, one of the women sol diers of Russia, who fought against the Red army and who was a heroine Of adventures more thrilling than fiction, was found today at the Lithuanian na tional council employed in the hum drum occupation of typist While under arrest in Petrograd for making an anti-Bolshevist speech, she made her escape In soldier's garb. Joined a band of deserters from the Red army on its way to Kolchak's forces and fought as a. man In a series of bloody -1 batUes, finally reaching Vladivostok whence she made her way to Japan and from there came to the United States. She says It should occasion no sur prise if the Russian women rise up against the Bolshevist regime, and form ing a mighty battalion of death, destroy the Red army. The American women are beyond her understanding. They, demand full equal ity yet refuse to go to war and shoul der bayonets like men. This seems very strange to soldier' Victoria, who says there are times when bullets or women are more useful than votes. New Tork, Oct. 23. Governor James M. Cox sent ano.ie telegram to Ellhu Root Friday night calling upon him to "correct his misstate ment" on the Lvmocratic candidate's attitude toward the League of Na tions. "I have Invariably said that I favored the Hitchcock reservations and also that I would accept reservations from any source offered in sincerity with a desire to help," Cox's telegram said. Cox then cited the Hitchcock reserva tion to Article X, the mainspring of Root's attack In his reply to the Demo cratic candidate's first telegram: "That the advice mentioned in Article X of the covenant oS the league which the council may give to the member nations as to the employment of their naval and military forces is merely ad vise which each member nation Is .free to accept or reject according to the conscience and Judgment of its then ex isting government, and in the United States this advice can only be accepted by action of the congress at the time In being, congress alone under the consti tution of the United States having the power to declare war." Cox called upon Root to answer his question whether he would retract his statement that "Mr. Cox declared that he will insist upon the treaty Just as Mr. Wilson negotiated it." with an "un equivocal yes' or 'no'." Warrant Is Issued For Union Bank Robbery Suspect Thirty gallons of whiskey and 40 gallons of wine are to be delivered to the Oood Samaritan hospital from the estate of George Boschlin, by "order of Presiding Judge Taswell of the Multnomah county circuit court, signed this morning. This order was given on application of Paul van Frldagh. administrator of the estate. It provides for the division of the household effects between Louis Jann and Hulda Jann Bauer of Clarke county, Washington, and the Good Sa maritan hospital. Tne nosptiai geis-me liquors as Its .one third share. The di vision is made at this time In order to clear a residence property so it may be rented. In addition to this gift to the hospital it will, on the settlement of the estate, receive from $S7,500 to $46,000 from the Boschlin estate. There are bequests amounting to $7500. and the hospital Is made the residuary legatee. The be quest to this institution is made for the purpose of providing a free room and hospital service for persons who are in need of hospital service but unable to pay. George Boschlin. who died August 14 at the age of 70 years, was afflicted with cancer, but refused to go to a hos pital himself and died In his own home. He came to Portland in 1870 and the estate which goes to the hospital con sists of money in bank, mortgages and other securities, and several rental prop erties in this city.

Let them preach to textile work ers in the East, where mills are shut down by one of the nation's moat pow erful and richest trusts. Let them tell building craftsmen their story.

Boyd also is charged, with the roBbery of the Starbuck bank July 17, when $3200 was obtained. IMMORALITY CASES PILE UP; COURT? IS SURPRISED "There seems to be a lack of moral sense, commonly called degeneracy, that Is startling at this time. It may have always existed without having been so prominently brought to public attention, but the record of cases In the Multno mah county circuit court since I have been sitting on the bench here, as to cases involving statutory charges, nasi been ramazing." Thus spoke Circuit Judge Fred W. Wilson of The Dalles, who has been sitting in court here, when he passed sentence of five years on Perry Smith, convicted of a statutory offense against an 11-year-old girl. ,Judge Wilson declared that nearly every case that has been before him in Portland has involved statutory charges, and that at the same time the other court departments have been occupied with similar cases.- He dismissed the suggestion of parole In the Smith case, declaring that his own experience with the parole system had been far from satisfactory- Many Hear Cotterlll White Salmon.

Attempts to Take All Blame, Gets Prison Sentence Edgar Corn, alleged deserter from Camp Lewis, endeavored to shoulder all the responsibility for the theft of an automobile when arraigned before Federal Judge Wolverton this morning and thus secure a release for his part ner, W. H. Cunningham. He did not succeed. Corn was sentenced - to nine months In the county Jail on' a plea of guilty, and Cunningham was re turned to the county jail to await trial when he pleaded not guilty. Assistant United States Attorney Lusk said the two deserted from Camp Lewis several weeks ago and stole an automobile in Tacoma. They . drove the machine to Portland and sold it to a local garage man. They only received a deposit of $5 on their 150 bargain. When the pair called to collect the $145 they were met by police officers, who took them into custody, as the automobile had been reported by wire as stolen. Lusk recommended to Judge Wolverton that leniency be shown In Corn's case and suggested a county Jail sentence In preference to McNeil's island.

Spence directs the attention of the con sumers and producers of the state to the fact that the market bill is designed to correct speculation in food commodi ties and that the best evidence of this Is the fight that is being made against It by the interests which he charges are "food proflteerers.

At the trial in Circuit Judge McCourfs court the Jury gave a verdict for $400 to Ba blch, who was represented by T. Walter Glllard. It appears that Aver was arrested on the charge of illegally having liquors in his possesion, and was taken to Jail Georee Babich put up $500 for his friend's release, and later, when the dls trict court fined Aver $100. Fouts had Babich authorize him to draw down the money. He retained Ito to pay the fine and as his fee, but Babich claimed he had made no agreement to pay any amount to Fouts lor his services for Aver.

It legalizes about $6,000,000,000 worth of watered stock, and guarantees to the railroads a six per cent return on the whole property, real or fictitious a guarantee which must be paid for out of the pockets of the people. It was legislation which, careful economists estimate, will cost the average family 125 o. 00 a year. It takes out of the hands of labor the right to fight for itself. Labor must depend on compulsory "arbitration." The commission which, sctlnc under the provisions of the law, gave the workers about 50 of what they asked for. Immediately give the railroads 2 more than they asked for. Whence up go the rates.
