Jack Benjamin, working in a factory here, admired the pretty young woman he knew as Mrs. S. C. Diamond. They had been working side by side for a year. One day when she handed him a package to mail for her he noticed that it was addressed to the woman he had' divorced 30 years before. "Then I recalled our 3-year-old daugh ter and, sure enough, Mrs. Diamond was my little baby," said Benjamin. Ing the Round-Up at Pendleton and the Oregon state fair at Salem.

Shoonmaker at The Audi torlum last night. Mrs. Schoonmaker, suffrage leader and author, appealed to fellow Republicans to join with her in support of Governor Cox and a League of Nations. She waded Into the history of the League of Nations, told how our sons had fought and died to end war, how President Wilson had been directed by congress to lead the way to a League of Nations, how he had laid down 14 points on which the war was to be fought, how he had gone to Paris to aid In securing the league, how he had come home, soli cited and accepted the advice of Root, Taft and Hughes as to the league and what should be in it, and how then, he had been blocked by a treacherous ring of senatorial politicians in taking Amer ica into the league. . The league, she flung, is the same league that Mr. Taft and Mr. Lodge were espousing In 1916. It is the same league that Taft and Hughes and Root helped to formulate. And It is the same league that Governor James M. Cox is In favor of "going in" and the same league that Senator Harding "turns his back on." Mrs. Nancy M. Schoonmaker, promi nent woman suffrage leader, in tracing the growth of the covenant, assured the Republicans in her audience at The Auditorium Wednesday night, that to vote for the league would be but to fol low the way set by Lodge and Taft in 1916 when the League to Enforce Peace laid out a plan for a world federation. "To vote for the league a loyal Re publican need do only one thing," she said, "satisfy himself that the league does, in fact, incorporate those ideas put forth by his own leaders, and the 14 points which at the beginning of the war we all. Democrats and Republicans alike, Indorsed. This done, he will want to know two other things : First, why are those leaders who formerly indorsed such a league now repudiating it ; and, see- (Concluded on Pc Two, Column Six) .ttJBI SPENT E Chicago, Oct. 28.

In the awful days of the Argonne forest when his friends and his com rades in arms lay mangled and dy ing all about him. Colonel Charles W. Whittlesey, quiet and unassum ing citizen of New York, modest hero of America's brightest military history, refused to surrender to the gray hordes of Germany massed about the Lost Battalion, as undy ing in fame as the Light Brigade. Last night, before a large audience In The Auditorium. Colonel Whittlesey told how, remembering the Ideals for which he fought and for which his comrades died, he, refused? to surrender those ideals to the demands of professional politicians and partisan expediency, how he stood fast to his duty as a citizen of America, while others fell back, while he, as a soldier, remem bered the soldier dead. PATRIOTISM ABOVE POLITICS "We men who fought abroad and who love America," he told the people who listened to his appeal for tha League of Nations, "we remember that there are 81,000 of our friends left in France. "We did not enter the war as Re publicans or as Democrats. We went in as Americans. All that we ask Is that you put patriotism above politics; that you have the' same faith In Amer ica and the great principles for which America fought as those who gave their Uvea for those principles." Long before the time scheduled for Colonel Whittlesey and his companions to appear, the great audience room waa packed with people gathered to hear him. When he came out upon the plat form with them he waa given an ova tion. When he rose to speak, after a Bhort introduction by B.. F. Irvine, chairman of the evening, he stood pow erless before the cheers with which the standing people greeted him. TALK IS IMPBESSITE Whittlesey Is not" aa orator. What he says does not come In balanced and rhythmic phrase. He talked to his au dience with the earnestness and the se rious conviction bred of suffering and death of the Argonne forest. "I believe," he said in beginning, "that in this campaign we have an issue that is above and beyond party politics. There are periods in the des tiny of every people where their de cision means more than party success when it evidences the faith and the honor of their nation. "At the time of Senator Harding's Des Moines speech." Colonel Whittlesey said, while the audience broke out again into sweeping applause, "when he turned his back upon the League of Nations, I and my friends decided that there .was but one course of duty for us to follow to support the League of Nations." WAR HORROR RECALLED Whittlesey told of the time when his Lost Battalion was standing back-to back in the forest, of the time when Ore gon men under his command were (Concluded on Pas Two, Column Three) THREE INDICTED Medford, Oct. 28.

(U. P.) It is because of my travels through 36 of 48 states that I am confident the cause of peace, progress and prosperity for America and the whole world will win a victory on next Tuesday. Every since I accepted the nomi nation August 7 I have been visit ing the cities, towns and villages of the country. I have presented my case in person direct to the great American Jury the American peo ple who have never failed to up hold the honor of the nation. JfATION'8 H050R AT STAKE It has been a great fight, with the forces of reaction In both na tional and world affairs seeking to block us at every turn : but It haa been won. The people understand the Issue. It Is whether the United States shall be a nation of honor and enter the League of Nations the most humanitarian enterprise of the centuries or whether she shall be a nation of repudlators and break faith with the 81,000 American boya who sleep in soldier graves, their families, their 9,000,000 comrades-Inarms and the millions of Americans who made sacrifices, all of whom were given the pledge that we were fighting this war to make future wars impossible. SENATORIAL PLOT FAILS " The senatorial campaign of misrep resentation of the league In the hope of winning the election has failed. .Everywhere I traveled' I found deep resentment against the nation-wide effort to deceive the American peo ple as to the great Issue of the campaign. As soon as the people were told the truth about the league the tide in Its favor began to come in. We noticed that this reaction had set in before we left the Pacific coast about the middle of September. Within the last few weeks this sentiment haa swept over the coun try like a great storm, driving the senatorial conspirators to cover. From the Atlantic to the Pacific a patriotic and ' religious fervor, simi lar to that which made possible the winning of the war, has aroused the people to the great interests Involved in this campaign. It sweeps on - with greater momentum each day. SOUL OF AMERICA AROUSED The soul of America has been aroused. People are allowing God. not the senate oligarchy, to talk- to ' them and they realise that the chance is theirs to usher in a new day in the affairs of the world which will insure peace, happiness and prosperity, not only for the United States, but for all peoples.

California Electric Interests. In " furiated by Oregon Senator's Interference With Their Plan to Grab Klamath Waters. By Ralph Watson Why has Montaville Flowers, the specially imported spellbinder for R. N. Stanfleld, been sent into Oregon to persuade Oregon voters to defeat Senator Oeorge E. Chamberlain? What is the California-Oregon Power company? These two pertinents questions disclose a startling story, appalling in the In sight It throws upon the grip which powerful financial interests are attempt ing to fasten upon Oregon politics and Oregon's official representatives. Its relation tells why, after Chamberlain had . stopped the California-Oregon Power company from Inundating from 15,000 to 20,000 acres of Immensely fer tile tillable land about the borders of Klamath lake land which had been thrown open to entry and settlement with preferential rights granted to veterans of the world war Montaville Flowers was transferred from Oklahoma to Oregon to aid in the defeat of Cham berlain.
