Bryan said toddy in a statement com
menting on Mrj, Wilson's call to the
Democratic parity to carry the fight
for ratification -or the peace treaty
Into the presidential campaign.
The party had fought for ratifica
tion without reservations as long as
there was hope of such action, he
said, and the issue now was "whether
the Democratic party believes .in the
fundamental principle of democracy
namely, the right of the majority
' to rule." He urged Immediate ratl-
i flcation with such amendments as
i migbt be necessary to accomplish that
purpose to-take the league of na

I5roken down in health by the
weight of cares and anxieties, such
as have fallen to no other occupant
of that high office, the chief execu
tive has been denied the information
essential to sound judgment and Safe

talk to one live man than a thousand
dead ones after which he gave a talk
on salesmanship and what the sales
man can do for the people of Salem
and Salem In general. He said that
me people ot atem tninK that any-
tnmg in saiem is no good, and that
they would rather go outside to in
vest their money than to Invest It In
Salem industries where It will not
only do them the most good but will
benefit Salem as a whole
Mr. Clark touched on the logan
millions of dollars Invested In stocks
in 'enterprises outside Of Oreron by
Salem people, which, if they had In
vested in home industries would have
earned them' more than the 1 per
cent which they are now getting but
would have built up the city as well.
Mr. -Clark touched on the lagon
berry situation from the packers
point of view. He said that the Buy
ers could not afford to pay the
prices that the growers are asking
and that his company will not pur
chase any loganberries unless the
prices asked are reduced. He also
stated that the Salem Kings Products
company has orders for five carloads
of dehydrated loganberries of this
year's pack, but that they will not be
able to furnish tbem. as to do so at
the present price asked by the grow
ers would lose money to tbem on the
transaction. He declared that If they
did pack the berries at the present
prices that the people would refuse
to buy tbem. and if the packers do
not buy the berries which. they will
not. at the high price asked, they
will stop advertising the articl
which would mean suicide to the lo
gan berry industry. Mr. Clark cited
the Bull Durham Tobacco company
as an example. He said that although
the government had bought the out
put of Dull Durham, the company did
not stop advertising. The loganberry
industry Is only in its infancy, the
speaker said, and if this year's pack
is not put on the market at a price
which will be within the reach of
housewives, the Industry will he set
