ing made threats toklll Mrs. Cox. The

Cox was filed Tuesday.
"In an Interview published in
Tuesday's Journal. J. C. Han nan
takes me to task for numerous sins
Of commission and omission'," de
clares Representative C. N. Mc Ar
"I shall not undertake to answer all o:
the charges preferred by Hannan, for
they are too ridiculous to admit of seri
ous consideration, but I do wish to deny
most emphatically his statement that I
have branded as traitors all those who
are opposing me in this campaign.
"I have never at any time, either from
the platform or In private conversation,;
made any such charge as Hannan Im
putes to me.
RADICALS ARE FLAYED
"I have, however, said and I say again:
that all the radical elements of the com
munity are opposed to my candidacy.!
There Is a vast difference between what
I actually said and the words which!
Hannan attempts to put into my mouth.
"Many of the best citizens of this dis
trict are supporting my Democratlc-i
Prohibition opponent and nobody but a
knave or a fool would brand such peo
ple as traitors. Furthermore, nobody
with a serious regard for the truth
would misquote a candidate on a matter
of this kind.
HASSAN FORGETS POINT
"Hannan forgets to tell the people
that he is secretary-treasurer of the
Plumb Plan league of this city. No
mention of the fact is made in his in
tervlew.
"He Is doubtless ashamed to make
public admission of the fact that he is
identified with an organization which
seeks to raid the public treasury for
the purpose of setting up soviet rail
road system in the United States. I ana
opposed to the Plumb Plan and other
soviet schemes and for this reason Han
nan and his associates are opposed to
me, but they attempt to camouflage
their opposition behind other issues and
by misquoting me."
mora friends in the senate than Senator
Chamberlain, and his influence in Wash
ington la such that it would be border
ing on a crime to displace him," said
MUler tn urging the re-election of the
Oregon senator. '"His work as chair
man of the senate military affairs com
mittee stamps him as one of. the ablest
men In congress."
Miller -further asserted that Chamber
lain had fought to give the vote to
women and prohibition to the nation,
that he continually worked to do away
with child labor and had always, de
manded a square deal for the plain
people,

SUPPORT TO CHAMBERLAIN
The following statement has been pre
pared and publication has been asked

"To correct reports and baseless ru
mors that have been going the round,
we take this means of stating that wie
are supporting and Intend to vote for
Hon. George E. Chamberlain for United
States senator. Both by reason of his
great Influence and his superiority in
qualifications over other candidates, we
feel that not to return him to the sen
ate would be a distinct loss to Oregon
&nd we call upon all our friends to Join
us in supporting him for reelection.

NATION FACES SERIOUS ERA,
DECLARES DR. LOVEJOY
That this is a irtbst serious time in the
1 story of the country, economically and
morally, and that all good citisens Should
most carefully consider the situation be
fore casting their vote, was the declara
tion of Dr. Esther Pohl Lovejoy, candi
date for congress, addressing the mem
bers of the Carpenters' union Tuesday
night.
This country faces the reconstruction
period and it behooves every loyal Amer
ican cltisen to give the gravest consider
ation to the problems of the day and
the best means, the best agents, to ad-
Just matters before casting their vote,"
said Dr. Lovejoy. "The problems con
fronting us must be solved ; there must
be no hesitation along that line. We
must meet the situation and meet it
quickly.
"Morally, we face a crisis. Prohibi
tion, the greatest health measure ever
recorded in the world's history, is threat
ened. The liquor interests are moving
to amend the Volstead act to provide
for the sale of light wines and beer.
That would be a backward step. It
would degrade us and put us right where
we were before prohibition was won.
"So we have great problems before
us. Whom will you have to represent
you in the lower house of congress? I
stand for promotion of the general wel
fare under the constitution. I stand for
law and order, for right against wrong ;
truth against error and Justice instead
of rule by intrigue and special privilege.
"If I go to congress you need have no
fear of what I shall do regarding pro
hibition. Economically, I shall be fight
ing for the rights of all the people and
against special, vested privilege ; for
human rights first, then property rights
Just as the constitution says it should
be. And I believe I am going to win."
Dr. Loveoy is scheduled to speak at
6 :30 o'clock tonight before employes of
the Bridal Veil Lumber company at
Bridal Veil and at 9 o'clock at the Wash
ington high school, if time allows, after
the mass meeting in The Auditorium.
