"Reed College Faculty Man, a
: Republican, Tells Why He Will
Support Democratic Nominee.
Professor' Frank X. Griffin of
) 'Reed college, an ardent Republican,
announced Saturday that he would
- vote for Cox and Roosevelt. He la
switching on the League of Nations
issue, because Harding' is reactlon
J ary and Cox progressive, and be
cause, he says, "the interests of the
average citizen would best be con
served by electing Cox."
1 'The League of Nations offers the one
structlve toward ending war." Professor
. Griffin explains. "The league la a going
concern; we cannot, expect 43 other na-
tlons to abandon it and try to devise
. 'some new 'association'. Senator Hard
. j ' ing is a self-declared i enemy of the
league. Governor Cox is its friend ; so
. am I. Hence I am supporting Cox.
PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
"In the next few years, difficult in
dustrial problems must be solved. Wlde-
unread labor troubles are likely to occur.
' It In fundamentally Important that these
matters be handled in an enlightened,
progressive way. Forcible suppression
- of legitimate activities, such as occurred
": : In the late steel strike, Is a short-sighted
v policy which drives fair-minded work
n - Inpnen Into the hands of radical agri-
' tators. Governor Cox stands for law
3 ;. and order, and once removed the Demo-
ficratlc mayor of a. large city to ensure
1 it But his philosophy is one of con-
s clliation, rather than force, and he has
i a notable record for the peaceable and
.'. J Just settlement of labor troubles. Senator
: Harding's attitude is a matter of con
i i Jecture. but some of his most powerful
I backers are adherents of the old policy
1 of ruthless suppression. I deem it safer
, for the country to elect Cox.
) UARtflNGfJ RECORD AKALTZED
"Much reconstruction legislation is yet
' to be passed. Senator Harding's past
' votes and speeches do not indicate that
he is Interested In the movements of the
' ; last decade or two looking toward social
'i j amelioration and the elimination of eco-
- nomlc injustice.. In other words, he is
T ; not known as a progressive leader. His
t attitude toward the late Theodore Roose
velt bears out this Assertion. Governor
y-;. Cox, on the other hand, has a record
i, of progressive achievement. Apparently
'';' the interests of the average citizen
i '; would be conserved by electing Cox."
.; CLARK K DEMOCRATS SEE
'i nOPE FOR AT LEAST TWO
it Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 30. That the
old order will be changed ln county
politics this fall is the forecast made
: by local Democratic leaders, who. ex-
press confidence in the election of at
" - least two of their county candidates.
I : Two years ago at she last election, a
straight Republican ticket was elected.
Probably the keenest contest will be
that for sheriff, William A. Thompson,
rtAiYKvpn tf ranrilrto.t h ll vine won ovnr
many votes within a few days. It Is
9 said that manv local Ttenuhllcanii are
supporting nim.
Realizing that the greatest contest will
be between Johnson and Thompson, sup
porters of the Farmer-Labor party are
turning . their votes to the support of
Thompson, despite the fact that Chester
Osmend is a candidate on the third party
ticket. Although it is generally believed
that there will be a last minute land
slide for Thompson. Johnson supporters
hope that the usual Republican majority
w,lll carry their candidate through.
Vasco Christy, Democratic candidate
.for commissioner in opposition to 11. K.
Carson, Is expected to make a good race.
It Is thought that Christy will carry the
. entire vote of the northern part of the
" county.
Old time politicians are guessing at the
strength of the Farmer-Labor party in
. the election. The third party has nearly
a complete ticket. Claude Moran, op
posing George B. McCoy, Republican, for
state senator, is rated as their strongest
man.
W. E. Davey, third party candidate for
, commissioner, will probably have a close
' race with William Paul, Republican. A
large number of Republicans are sup
porting Davey, who is also backed in
..full force by Farmer-Labor people and
the Democrats.
Final touches will be put to the cam
paign in Clarke county Monday, when
, several meetings of an Informal nature
.will be held.
4" VOLSTEAD ACT ENDANGERED,

1 Addressing a large crowd of voters in

mo uuuur mieresia ox uie country are

Mrs. Weber Meets
Senator Huston in
League Discussion
Before a capacity audience, Louise
Palmer Weber and Senator S. B. Hus
ton debated the League of Nations ques
tion Saturday night in the assembly
room of the Portland hotel.
Mrs. Weber, upholding the league, won
an emphatic applause. Senator Hus
ton delivered a fervent arraignment of
the league. He declared he was cer
tain he would meet with a unanimity
of opinion among the audience, and
even with Mrs. Weber, in stating that
the league question was the greatest
that faced the American people since
the drafting of the Declaration of In
dependence. Mrs. Weber shattered the "six votes
to one" claim when she called attention
to the fact that such a situation could
arise only In the advisory council and
not In the league itself, where all had
equal representation.
When Senator Huston painted a
dread picture of the danger of Oriental
invasion of America, the audience
cheered Mrs. Weber's reply that it
"might be a good thing for the United
States to be a member of the league,
should that Issue ever arrive at white
heat The three months clause before
actual warfare might allow it to cool
a bit."
The assembly rooms were packed.
Accuse Woman of
Unwise Charging;
Now She's in Jail
Mrs. Lucile Hudson was placed under
arrest at her home, 955 Kenton street, at
4 o'clock Saturday afternoon by Deputy
Constable Watkinds on complaint made
by the Meier & Frank company, charg
ing her with having obtained goods at
this store by charging them to ac
counts of other customers. Bail was
fixed at $250 and in lieu of this she was
taken to the county jail.
How extensive the alleged operations
of Mrs. Hudson may have been has not
yet been determined, but Watkins said
more than 500 worth of goods were re
covered after the arrest was made. Mrs.
Hudson will be arraigned in the dis
trict court Monday.

LAST DAY'S SHIFT
WILL ELECT COX,
WHITE DECLARES
Chairman Says Every Sign Points
to Democratic Victory; Can
Even Stand Some Setbacks.
By George White
Chairman, National Democratic Committee.
(Written Especially for Unirenal Serrice)
New York, Oct. 30. The general
political situation at the close of the
last week of the campaign of 192C
is full of every sign known to politics
that points to Democratic success.
Governor Cox and Mr. Roosevelt will
carry the border states of Maryland,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri
and Oklahoma in addition to the
Southern states.
They will carry Ohio and Indiana. On
the Atlantic seaboard prospects are
extraordinarily promising in New York
and . Rhode Island, due to an eleventh
hour shift, and we have every hope of
carrying New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and New Hampshire In
the West, reports from Idaho, Montana,
Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Ne
vada and Utah are that they are cer
tain, and we believe we will carry Ne
braska, California, Washington and the
Dakotas.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin our pros
pects are hourly improving and a great
swing toward us is on in Kansas and
even Iowa.
If a reasonable number of these pros
pects pan out, as we used to say in the
Klondike, the Democratic ticket will
have a very handsome majority of the
electoral votes. We can stand many
disappointments and still win the elec
toral college and the senate.
Eastern Oregon Is
Mindful of Trade
Excursion Benefit
Eastern Oregon communities, which
were visited a week ago by local busi
ness men of the Eastern Oregon Trade
excursion, express confidence in the
mutual benefit that will arise from the
trip. Several letters have been received
by Nathan Strauss, chairman of the
excursion, and E. N. Weinbaum, secre
tary. Typical of some of the other letters
received is one from S. H. Clay, secre
tary of the commercial club at Ontario,
which says :
"Let me say on behalf of Ontario and
her good business men that without ex
ception we, one and all, thoroughly en
joyed your short visit with us, and our
only regret is that you were not.able
to stay with us longer.
"We are sanguine that your visit will
be productive of unlimited and mutual
good. We have great opportunities in
this section, and we believe that the men
of your party are impressed now as they
have never een before with the vital
importance and genuine merit of these
plans.
"We want your help on some of them,
and we ara frank enough to say that
in helping us on these developments you
are in large measure helping yourselves.
We have in the past traded largely
with Portland, but with our section prop
erly developed you will have reason to
expect to see at least $5 grow where one
has grown heretofore.
"We are glad you came and sincerely
trust you will not forget the turns In
the road and that when business will
permit you will retrace your steps and
next time linger longer. The latch
string is always hanging on the outside
for you."

GET FOB GROWERS
Oregon Association Manager Cites
California Prosperity Future
Bright if Cooperation Utilized.
Thorough discussion of the results
Of cooperative marketing in Califor
nia and how this plan is being
adopted advantageously In Oregon,
was made before the industry and
Immigration commission of the
Northern Pacific railway at a meet
ing in the Oregon building Tuesday
by C. I. Lewis, organization mana
ger of the Oregon Growers' Cooper
ative association. The address fol
lows: "During the past decade California s
nonulation ha.a increased more than
1,000,000. or 44 per cent, "fne average
farm value of 132,000 is the highest of
any state In the union. Building activi
ties are going on on every Bide. Thous
ands of settlers are coming out to their
lands. Land and orchard values are
continually increasing in price. Plant
ings of fruit trees of all descriptions are
taking place continually. More than
30.000 cars of deciduous fruits are
shipped annually and more than 60,000
cars of citrus fruits. Last year 7.000,000
cases of peaches, 4,000.000 cases of apri
cots and 1,000,000 cases of pears were
packed.
PROSPERITY FACTOR
"Men in a position to know In that
commonwealth state that cooperative
marketing organizations are responsi
ble more than any other factor for Cali
fornia's prosperity. The California Fruit
Growers Exchange, which is the orange
marketing organization, the Walnut
association, the Prune and Apricot
Growers, the Almond Growers, the
Associated Raisin company and the
Peach Growers' association, are all
typical of the wonderful work that
is being done in that state. For
example, when the peach growers
organized, peacheiTwere worth less than
2 cents a pound. This year, 24.000 tons
of peaches were sold for over $8,000,000
or $340 a" ton, and the crop was all gone.
"These statewide marketing organisa
tions in California have standardized
the product and have greatly reduced
the cost of marketing. The present cost
to almond and deciduous fruit shippers,
being only 2.28 cents and citrus fruits
only cost IJ cents per box, are examples
of unequaled efficiency in marketing.
EATING TIME BROADENED
"The have obtained national distri
bution, not only from the point of view
of place, but as regards time. At one
time almonds and walnuts were eaten
only in the holidays ; now we eat them
all through the year. At one time lemons
were eaten only fn summer, now they
are consumed the year around. This is
due to the wonderful advertising of the
California statewide marketing bodies.
They are now spending more than
$2,000,000 annually.
"One association last year received
30,000 letters from people Interested in
California. This work has Increased the
demand for California products, has
brought thousands of settlers to the
state, increased land values and horti
cultural values and has resulted In the
development of unimproved land. It has
driven the speculator from the fruit bas
ket of California. It haa taken care of
new tonnage as it has developed. It has
stabilised California horticulture, and its
wonderful work has brought the recog
nition and backing of business men and
bankers of the state of California, re
sulting in a unified movement which is
developing the state.
O KEG ON A CONTRAST
"Let us contrast Oregon. We go
through a series of booms, first our fruit
ts profitable, and then we grow it at
a loss. we nave tnousanas oi acres
of undeveloped lands, we only increased!
a little more than 100,000 in population
the past decade. Our horticulture, and
in fact our agriculture, is unstablllied.
Speculation has been rife on all handa
There is a fluctuation of similar products
during a given season, which is dis
tressing. Little or no advertising has
ever been undertaken. A wide distribu
tion has not been attempted. Oregon
fruits are not known nationally, to say
nothing of internationally. And yet we
have a greater production staring us in
the face.
"Realising the situation, the Oregon
Growers Cooperative association was or
ganised, and is In the first year of opera
tion. We have brought together 1500
growers and 28,000 acres. We have
standardised our product. Inaugurated
an inspection service, and our first 600
cars of fresh fruit shipped have brought
not a single complaint as regards grade
and pack. We have established com
munity packing ho Bscs, built packing
plants In 10 centers, valued at over
1300,000, inaugurated a 150,000 advertis
ing campaign for the prune : and for the
first time in history a big poster will
appear in New York on the elevated
and subways, advertising Oregon
prunes.
OS WAY TO PROSPERITY
"We have developed new markets,
sending cars to points which never be
fore received Oregon products. We
have brought the highest average returns
for cherries, berries and pears which tbe
state has ever realised. We have sold
products to 18 canneries, have interested
24 banks in our behalf, have helped sta
bilise the industry remarkably in a
short time, have rendered the growers
invaluable service in the production of
their crops, and are on the highway to
bring to this state the 'same benefits and
wonderful prosperity which our sister
state to the south enjoys.

support of you by J0.0OO women in Cali

cation of the league and treaty Impos
sible. It is useless to discuss some fu
ture concert of nations. The League of
Nations is a fact. It is composed of
practically all the civilised nations of
the world. It Is functioning and accom
plishing its purposes. It is an insepar
able part of the treaty of peace. That
treaty will never be abandoned- by the
nations of the world and no separate
peace with Germany will be tolerated
by the people of the United States.
The second telegram is as follows :
Before the nominating convention we
worked for the ratification of the peace
treaty. Until now we have kept out bf
the campaign, but your recont speeches
aa reported are unequivocal In their re

League ef Nations, consequently we pro
pose to urge the election of your op

party lines. If we are in error in our
interpretation, we would appreciate
hearing from you.

79 Per Cent of Men
Paroled Make Good
Seventy-nine per cent of the men pa
roled from the Oregon state penitentiary
by Governor Olcott are making good in
private life, according to a report made
by Percy M. Varney, state parolefflcer.
Records show 88 per cent of the men.sxe
making good. Varoey attributes this
high percentage to leniency shown by
the parole board In permitting the men
to leave the stt. This allows the men
to shy clear of rmT comrades In crime
and thus avoid temptation, he said. Let
ters received regularly by Varney from
the men show many of them to be suc
cessful financially.
