PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. r
(AP) Charles A. German ot
Portland, was the father of the
fake "Yellow Ticket", circulated
prior to the May primaries, and he
alnoe devised It. The tickets were
printed .and circulated with the
sole view of harrsjlng Fred L..
Oifford and the Oregon Good Gov
ernment League. x
Thin announcement was made
by Stanley Myers, district attorney
of Multnomah county, today af
ter many days , of investigation
into the authorship of the "Yel
low Ticket" which Robert N. Stan
field ' charged had done him bo
much harm in the primaries and
which the senator had laid at the
floor of Frederick Steiwer, repub
lican nominee.
German told him, the district
attorney stated, "that the "yellow
ticket" wan planned only as a
mean to put ; Gifford and the
league "in bad forever."
It was German's idea, he said,
i to :pick. losers for his ticket and
to give it the color of the ticket
1 mt j lie heard the Oregon Good
Ljte'rnment v league planned to
, jXt.out. He had no desire or i
teniion to injure any candidate,
1 and no candidate suggested the
plan. German' said.

believed Stanfield would be a los
f er in the primaries and that he
'believed others on his ticket also
i would lose in the primaries. He
named the three justices, of the
supreme court 'on his "ticket; not
tor that reason, however, but te-
' cause he needed three more names
to fill space in on his ticket. Since
there was but one candidate for
the bench against the three jus
tices, he knew that they would not
b beaten, he said.
Investigations by the district
attorney's office finally resulted
in finding the father of the ticket,

tonishing situation. We who for
years have withstood the slurs
and Insults of the liquor inter
ests today find those same inter
ests attacking us and other pro
hibitionists, alleging We have de
moralized the young people of the
country. Wet politicians every
where are appealing in maudlin
tones to "protect our boys and our
girls from the ruinous evils of
prohibition." j
If we did not know so much
about girls and boys we might
pause and take stock of ourselves
and our work, so ardently do our
wet opponents give voice to their
lamentations for the young people.
But we 'are the people who really
know about boys and girls; rdany
of us are mothers; aH of us to
gether are the heart and soul of
America. When the gang, that
threw cabbages at us for trying
to stop liquor, now gets on its
knees and prays to protect the
boys and girls from prohibition,
we know there is something
wrong.
For that reason, I have prepared
this call to the American voters.
It should be read in every home,
in every church, and wherever
people gathered together.
There is an inspired attack on
the good name of the young peo
ple of the United States.
Typical of this attack is the
declaration of nearly every wet
politician now running for office,
whose platform, contains a state
ment very much like that which
was uttered by a Middle West can

help in the days when dance hall
keepers were allowed by law to
sell liquor all night-long, nor
when ' the brewer-owned saloon
and its sordid back room and sur
reptitous side entrance was an aid
to the commercialized vice which
had real cause to -make parents
tremble. We have never heard a
word from most of these men un

Unless the plans of men go astray

will enter the league of nations
and take her place around the
council table on a footing of
equality with the other great pow
ers of the world who at Geneva
discuss matters of world moment.
Today the council voted to give
Germany, and Germany alone, a
seat on the council, and placed its
seal of approval on the special

fused to accede to the Spanish pe
tition for a position of honor on
the council similar to that ar
ranged for the Reich.
Despite the difficult position in
which Spain has placed herself by
the very earnestness of her de

opinion in voiced by many' dele

Prirao De Rivera will not sever all
