V X 1 II SWIFT'S GRIP WOULD H INTO SENATE Exposed and Spurned by Senator Chamberlain, Packers' Tenta cles Would Fasten Themselves ; on People Through Stanfield. By Ralph Walson Louis F. Swift, president of Swift & Co., attempted to Influence the vote of United States Senator George E. Chamberlain In favor of Swift '& Co. and the '""ilg Five" meat pack ing combine and against the Kenyon bill to regulate the packing interests when that bill was pending before the senate. Senator Chamberlain resented the ef fort of Hwift and the peeking interests of the country to control his vote and the votes of the other members of the United States senate. He told Louis F. Swift so In a letter In which he advised Hwtft to 'devote less tlmt! to writing let ters of explanation and atpology and de vote more time to remedying the evil prac tices of your rohcern which have more than once been pointed oat by public In vestigation and otherwise." He naked Swift "what difference does It make to you whether congress passes i law or not, because your company and other companion of the same class disregard all laws and are Inattentive as well to the murmurs of the multitude against at tempts to control food products and food prices?" And he told Swift. "You may get richer, you may erect a magnificent business structure, but while you and your emissaries are doing this, the hun gry mxsseR are dlKKing at the founda tion thereof, and It will Just as surely topple after a while aa tins every other structure so erected at the expense of the poor and the hungry since the earli est recorded time.'" Louis F. Swift, his associates and his familiars, now are trying to defeat Senator Chamberlain. They do not want Chamberlain In the senate. Swift & Co, and all the Beef Barons are opposed to him. Swift A Co. do want Robert N. Stan field in the United States senate. They are working for his ejection. He is their associate in business. Stanfield and Louis F. Swift are both stockhold ers, and Stanfield is a director in the .Columbia Basin Wool- Wsmsoum i-'ft company. Stanfield is a stockholder in r the Livestock State bank, which la con trolled by Swift & Co. Swift money and Stanfield money Is Invested side by side. Stanfield' would ot have written Louis F. Swift what Chamberlain wrote him. It would not have been necssary for Louis F. Swift to have written Stan field to influence his vote on the Ken yon bill to regulate the practices of Swift & Co.

Cohen "Is the public on a hunger strike?" asks a prominent restaurant man. "The pepple have evidently cut out a meal or two a day," reports a leading foodstuff dealer. The public Is not besieging the eating places as much as formerly.. This is clearly noticeable. Neither is It crowding, the stores where foodstuffs are sold. Many are the explanations given as a reason for this sudden decline in the appetite of the consumer. "No, they are not going on a hunger strike at ail," explained one of the big retailers. "The public has simply come to the conclusioh that there are many things which are high'' priced that are not actually needed. Therefore the pub lic is not buying such stock. This ap plies principally to so-called luxuries, but there Is a noticeable deoreas in all foodstuff business." The restaurant tables have an occa sional vacant appearance. "Have the workers stopped eating regularly T' asks a proprietor. The answer Is given by several office workers and laborers. They are simply taking their lunch from the home supply. The paper bag for them has for the time being taken the place of the cafeteria. In the meantime the price of bags has advanced. DASHBOARD SIGN ATTACK RENEWED Salem, Oct. 29. That the type of signs now in use by the Portland Railway, Light & Power company for designating the routings and des tinations of the various pars are more or less illegible and inadequate for the prlsent day needs of the city of Portland, "was the complaint made in a letter written here today by Fred G. Buchtel, chairman of the Oregon public service commission, and addressed to Franklin T. Grif fith, president of the traction cor poration. . . ., ... "The so-called dashboard signs, com posed of one or two letters. 12 inches In height, with two-Inch stroke, while fairly serviceable during the day. are rather impracticable at nisrht, especially outside of the central lighted district. Further, due to the height at which these signs are placed, they are fre quently obscured, by automobile and other vehicle traffic. "Signs properly and concisely desig nating the routes, readily visible both by day and night, will not only mate rially benefit the patron, but will through the avoidance of unnecessary delays, improve the service and event ually become advantageous to the com pany, i Stopping; a car' to ascertain whether or not It is the one desired Is a waste of time and energy for both the patron and the company. "Provision should be also made to properly mark the limited or 'no stop' cars, and trippers should be so identi fied as to Indicate their destination, unless ' scheduled to proceed to the end of the line." Society Woman Is Attacked, Husband Beaten by Bandit Oakland, Cal.. Oct. 29. (I. N. S.) 4 Despite an all-night search, police today had no trace of the armed bandit who last night attacked Mrs. Charles M. Fryer, society woman, in the presence of her husband, a well "known attorney, after he had looted their Hollywood avenue residence of money and Jewelry amounting to $800. According to the police report, the husband was forced to stand with his face to a wall while the fiend attacked his wife. "Suppression of the working class by the rich forces me to commit such crimes upon society," the bandit is said to have told Fryer. Fryer was beaten over the head by the bandit and Mrs. Fryer was cut and bruised- in' her struggles.

By George White (Cbaimun Democratic National Committee.) (Written for the United Piwm.) (Copyright 1920 by the United Prem.) New York, pet. 29. We began this fight well underneath. For two years the Republican party had slowly poisoned the country against the eig? years of the present ad min istra.lon, the greatest legislative record in America's hlstorj, crowned by the amazing triumph of our war machine An astute politician. Mr Hays has been furnished with limitless funds with which to build an organisation and to spread propaganda against the Demo crats. The country was emerging from the unusual conditions of the war. Taxes were heavy and the unthinking blamed the party in power for their burdens, ignoring the fact that the Republican party had already been In control of congress for two years and had sub mitted a do-less record, which, for lack of leadership, for political cowardice, the obstruction of the process of honor able peace, is a lasting blow upon that party's history. PEOPLE BECIX TO AWAKEJf Under these handicaps we began, after the nomination of Governor Cox and Mr. Roosevelt, to try to awaken the American people to the issues, and to attempt to bring them back to a realisa tion of the facts about the Issues. De liberately a group of senators had nom inated at Chicago a colorless candidate whose very lack of conviction they were sure would provide a channel for all the conflicting Republican elements to flow through into victory. Liberally their platform had been phrased to straddle on the League of Nations. In. the spirit of that dishonest plat form, the Candidates have made their campaign until daily in the press, half of the Republicans contend that the can didate is a pro-leaguer and the other half assert that be has scrapped it. We lacked money at the beginning and we lack, tV.oow.:"At least, twnilllgna of" dollars were required effectively;-to put before the people, through orators and general publicity and organisation, the facts I have touched upon above. In addition to this, the League of Nations proposal had been subjected to more misunderstanding a,nd downright mis statement than any other great cause be fore the American people. DEMAGOG BECLOUDS FACTS Few had read the covenant : the dema gogy about Article X and the "six votes to Kngland" had been persistently in dulged in, and a large portion of the lees reputable Republican newspapers de clined to permit us a forum for dis cussion. But the best-laid plans of managers go awry. The greatest political ma chine ever set up In this country is no harder for the American people to smash than the smallest township or ganization. All that was needed was to prove the truth and justice of our cause, to present the truth about the covenant, to nail the lie that Governor Cox insisted upon absolute acceptance of the league as it came from Ver sailles, to brand the attacks on Article X in a word, to arouse the moral con science of the people and to show them the certain avenue to wrld peace. ATTELL AND FOUR Chicago, Oct. 29. (I. N. S.) In dictments charging eight players of the Chicago American league club and five olhers with conspiracy and with operating a confidence game in the alleged fixing of the world's series between Cincinnati find the White Sox in 1919, were returned in Judge Charles ' A. McDonald's court this afternoon. The players named In lhe indictments are Pitchers Edward V. Clcotte and Claude Williams, Outfielders Joe Jack son and "Happy" Felsch. Infielders Fred McMullin, Arnold Gandll. George "Buck" Weaver and Charles R Is berg. The other men. alleged gamblers, named In the indictments are William Burns, former pitcher : Ha Chase, vet eran first baseman recently ousted from professional baseball; Joseph Sullivan and Rachael Brown of Boston, and Abe Attell. pugilist. The indictments are based on a spe cific charge made by an unnamed man who wagered and lost 1250 on the 1919 world's series.

Two of the portables are to be built at Ainsworth, and one each at Alameda, Gregory Heights. Irvington, Portsmouth and Vernon. The buildings are to be com pleted within SO days. OTHERS Tumulty Breaks Long Silence to Tell of Wilson And Martyrdom By John Glclssner United New Staff Correapondent- Washington, Oct. 29. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, speaking Thursday night at a mass meeting in Bethesda, Mary land, a suburb of the capital, abandoned the reticence that has characterized his discussions of the president for eight years, and drew an Intimate picture of the man Wilson. Tumulty declared the president has been strangely misunderstood by some and violently misrepresented by others. He described the president as intensely human, Bhy by nature, a lonely man longing for the love Of his fellow men, and saddened because he does not know how to obtain It. FAITHFUL 1 TEARS T have long wanted to tell the coun try of the manner of man this Woodrow Wilson really is. but have refrained be cause I knew that he himself would not approve," said Tumulty. He wnl sent exploitation by his frienas." Tumulty read his speech, because, he explained, he did not dare to trust him self to speak unrestrainedly. Those who have known Tumulty and wondered at his intense and devoted loyalty to his chief, understand thla. The faithfulness of Tumulty has never wavered in 10 years, though others nave deserted the Wilson standard, some in anger, some who had been his most intimate political associates. Tumulty recalled an Incident at Sea girt to illustrate with his character. FIXDS GEXIUS LONELY "A Journalist had written him up and we wanted him .to do one of the little stunts the public dearly loves to read about." said the secretary. "He said to me, 'Tumulty, you must realise that I am not built for these things. I do not want to be displayed before the public If I tried to do it I would do it badly. I want the people to love me but they never will.' "This lonely man is lonely not because he disdains love. He craves It wlthall his soul. He is lonely because of his genius. The greatest general always walks companionless. ' .Tumulty compared the loneliness of Wilson with tbat of Lincoln, ana aaaea : "He would , love to feel the familiar touchy pf 'the ordinary comraderte of Ufa. but It cannot be so. The knowledge that It cannot be saddened hint from the out set It is known to his nearest friends but" not guessed by the- public at large; but this aggressive fighting man is In his own nature a very shy man, sincere to pose, too shy to make too ad- vancea, !'He has not been'generally understood. People see his dignity, his reserve, but they cannot see his great heart yearning for the love of bis fellow men, slap-you-on-the-back easy familiarity." Another story Tumulty told concerned America's entry into the war. MA8TEBLT WAS MESSAGE "I saw htm firmly hold our nation in neutrality In most trying circumstances of world war," said Tumulty. "I know how his heart flamed against the out rages Germany was committing, but he knew the responsibilities of his office, and he knew, better than anyone else, that the general mind of America was not prepared for war. He hoped even against hope that the United States might be able to serve the cause of justice and democracy as a mediator be tween the contenders. At last came the direct challenge from Germany, the an nouncement, in direct violation of sol emn pledges, of unrestricted submarine warfare. On April 6, 1917, President Wilson rode to the capital and read, amid wild cheers from the floor and galleries, the great war message, one of the Immortal documents of history, which will con tinue to be read through the ages, rfad as long as the English language remains a living tongue. On tnat fateful day I rode with him back from the capital to the White House, the echo of the applause still ringing in my ears. SINCERE HATRED OF WAS "For a while he sat silent and pale in the cabinet room. At last he said. Think what it was they were applaud ing. It means death for our young men. How strange it seems to applaud that.' "My friends, that simple remark is one key to as understanding of Wood row Wilson. All politicians pretend to hate and dread war, but Woodrow Wil son really hates and dreads H in all of the fibres of his human soul." Tumulty told how the president com municated with Secretaries Baker and Daniels in 1913 about the situation in Mexico, saying : "After the situation had been stated over the telephone, the voice came back clear and firm, 'Order Admiral Mayo to take Vera Crus at once.' I was on the telephone at the time and listened to the conversation between the presi dent and Secretaries Baker and Daniela Before I cut off the connection I said a word to the president about the trag edy of it all. But his voice responded, no longer clear, but muffled, as when one chokes back a sob, 'What do you think of It, Tumulty? It means death It breaks my heart, but It my heart, but It must be done.' CHA5GED IN THREE YEARS The president signified his Intention of taking part In a procession when the bodies of the marines killed at Vera Crus were brought to New York. Se cret service operatives asked him not to participate In the march, because re ports had come that an attempt would be made on his life. Tumulty said of this: "His answer was a curt refusal to comply with the suggestion. One un dertook to argue with him, saying, 'You will show all proper respect by appear ing in the reviewing stand. The country cannot afford to lose its president,' His reply was. The country cannot afford to have a coward for president. This waa his 'brief and final answer. He rode in the procession.' Vindication of the president will' come, Tumulty declared. WEST. SOOTH AND EAST MAY SWEEP COX IN Woman's Vote and Trend to League Make It Necessary for Lawrence to Revise Early fore cast Showing Harding Victory.

J Washington, Oct. 29. The coali tion of the West and South which gave Woodrow Wilson his victory; in 1918 was a new combination of; electoral votes. Previously the big : Eastern states New York. New Jer- ' sey. Indiana, 'Ohio and Illinois, to- 1 gether with New England, were suf ficient to tell everybody on elec tion night that the race was over. The big question this year Is whether i there Is any combination of votes where by Governor Cox can win the presidency. SUDDEN SHIFT TO COX Senator Harding has been picked by ' most everybody to win, chiefly because of the traditional habit of America to change administrations every few years. But the Democrats have managed to force the League of Nations to the front as an Issue with remarkable sue- - cess in the last few days, and any cal culations made by the writer or anybody : eise as early as October 1 are necea- ; sarily subject to revision at the last ; moment. , Wher. this correspondent visited every . state west of the Mississippi, with one or two exceptions, he reported after an Investigation of 80 days thAt there were only a few states Utah, Montana and Nevada wherein the Democratic nom inee for the presidency had a good chance. CODE SYSTEM T'SED In order to determine whether those states are still safe for Cox, and whether any others have been added to the list. (Concluded ea Pace Nineteen. Column Two RELIGIOUS' LIE TE By George White Chairman Democratic National CommHtre (written Kxprenly for the International New Serriee) New York, Oct. 29. (I. N. S.) One of the most reprehensible tac tics employed against us by the Re publicans in this campaign has been the appeal to religious feeling. For Instance, there has been the widest circulation of an alleged extract from a Journal referred to as "The Na tional Catholic Register." This extract consists of a statement presumably by a Catholic editor that the Democratic party and the Catholic church are lndis solubly linked and the present adminis tration has been conducted in the inter est of temporal power of the pope. There is no such paper as "The Na tional Catholic Register." There never was any such article as the one mailed broadcast in the interest of the Repub lican national committee. The purpose of this forgery waa to breed anti-Catholic feeling in certain portions of the United States against Governor Cox and divide the friends of peace In all creeds on the basis of Catholic and non-Catholic. In addition to this we have traced to Republican sources the lie that Gov ernor, Cox is a Catholic. He is an Epis copalian. 1 give my word that neither the Dem ocratic national committee nor any agents under its control has resorted to a single dishonorable or mischievous po litical device in this campaign. We have not tried to breed class or religious war. We have not stooped to even the smaller political crimes not to speak of down right forgery. m It will be a clean victory for us in the interest of a united America. Clergymen Indorse 3-Mill Tax Levy as Vital to City Needs Indorsement of the S-mill tax levy was given today by a number of minis ters of the gospel, who have conducted an investigation of the city's needs, in their indorsement the ministers point out that "the tax. if adopted, will mean no increase In taxes over the present year, and will give the city only the same amount of revenue as was raised for the present year. Inasmuch as this meas ure involves public safety 'and welfare. its adoption la urged." "If the measure is not enacted again by the voters, the city council will face the necessity of an unwarranted reduc tion of fire and police protection and every municipal service," the indorse ment continues.

There Is no hope of a' radical or permanent reduction in the coat of living, according to W. Jett Lauck, consulting economist and recogplzed authority on prices. As wholesale prices now stand, he stated, they are approximately 114 per cent higher than they were before . the war.. ( "Thus far the reductions in wholesale prices nave had very small effect upon the necessary outlay of the average fam ily," Lauck said. "The ultimate con sumer, up to this time; has found relief only in a slight reduction In food and clothing. As applied to this total outlay for himself and his family, this has amounted to only approximately i per cent. 'The cost of fuel, ' light, bousing and sundries continues to 'advance."

DISTORTION IN FULL SWING, DECLARES COX Candidate Finds All Issues Big and Little, and Even Nation's Chief, Who Gave Strength for Peace, Falsified by Opponents. En Route With Goernor Cox, Toungstown, Ohio, Oct. 59. (U. P.) A sharp attack on Senator Hard ing's appeal at Akron last night for. a Republican congress was made here today by Governor James M., Cox in speeches before audiences that packed the city's two largest auditoriums. , "Senator Harding Is making Jt purely partisan campaign," Cox said. "I am not. If I lived In. a state where a Republican candidate was for the League of Nations and a Democratic candidate against It, I would vote against the Democrat and make speeches against him." En Route With Governor Cox,' Youngstowu. Ohio, Oct. 29. (I. N. 8.) GovcrnorCox met the Repub licans on their own ground today when he undertook to combat their insistence that the people want a change. He coupled with a prediction of dire things that would follow Sena- , tor Harding's election a charge that 1 the opposition leaders are stopping to "a creed of poisonous hate" against President Wilson, "a stricken victim of the war, unable to defend himself," to create sentiment for a change. A persistent attempt Is being made, he declared, as he returned to Ohio for a full day of campaigning, to get into the public mind an impression that Wilson rattier titan Cox Is the candidate tn this campaign. The purpose behind this ef fort, he added, is to distract attention ' frees the vital Issue, the League of Na- ' tiona, Keeling aroused against the adminis tration, the Democratic candidate be lievesv is responsible for whatever desire there may be for a change In the politi cal complexion of the government, which the Republicans claim now looms" upas one of the controlling Influences of the battle for ballots. - DEFENDS PRESIDENT In an Impassioned defense of the pres ident, the governor had this to say about the president's wheel chair speech U a group of pro-league Republicans Wed nesday : "Isn't it sinking to very low standards in this campaign to continue a propa ganda of hate, a creed of poisonous hate against the president of the United Utates, who, like a crippled soldier, was brought In an Invalldchatr Wednesday In order to speak what Is In his soul on the great question 'of the League of Nations 7" .
