PORTLAND, Oct. 24. (AP)
The trial of James P. Cooke, pres
ident of the defunct Overbeck A

scheduled to be called in circuit
court tomorrow morning, " al
though it may be Monday before
a Jury is selected and the trial
actually started. . - I
John A. Collier, of the law
firm of Collier, Collier ft Bernard,
chief counsel for the defense, said
that no further delays would be
asked. He intimated that the de
fense would cllam that' Cooke was
not at fault for the failure of the
company, as he had been in poor
health for the last three years,
and said that the affairs of the
company had been largely in the
hands of Charles S. Goodwin, vice
president, and Howard F. Phil

Cooke will be brought to trial
on an indictment Jointly charging
him with Goodwin and Phllpott
with embezzling 31881 from a
patron of the company last Jan

Goodwin yesterday afternoon
pleaded guilty to the charges laid
in the indictment on which Cooke
will be tried. What effect his ac

that Cooke was not at fault, i

on dancing in the gymnasium

residents of Salem were asked
to express their opinions in the
matter Wednesday. This is
what they hadto say:
HENRY WADSWORTH, cab
inet maker and a newcomer to
Salem,-said: "It is something
aboutrwhich I know nothing. I
haven't been here long enough
to be in touch' with matters like '
this. However," my "children '

the. idea would be all right if
there is no good reason not
disclosed to the public against
these schoo ldances." -
MRS.. MARIE ANDERSON,
178 South Liberty street, said:
?I don't think It would hurt for
the students to dance in their
high school gymnasium of they
want to. - I have two boys in
high school but neither of them

'- H. F. CHRISTIANSEN, sales
man with the Vibbert & Todd

think it is all right for the high
school students to have school
dances. They bring better fel
lowship among the students and
help them to become better ac

Exceptional Delays
Are Encountered
Due to litigation in the courts
and the tardy action of some of
the political party committees in
filling vacancies in nominations
made at . the primary election,
more than the usual delays and
complications were encountered in
getting the official ballot in shape
for printing;
The decree in an injunction suit
initiated in the circuit court for
Marion county and appealed to the
supreme court resulted in nullify
ing the progressive party ballot
indorsement of the democratic
candidates for president and vice
president and presidential elect
ors, and an injunction obtained in
Multnomah county completed the
remdval of progressive party nom
inations from the ballot.
Finding that the convention
held by the progressive party in
Portland last September was net
regularly called and that it was
not made up of accredited dele
gates' chosen as required by law
and party usages, the courts de
clared that all nominations made
by such convention weer void.
For most of- the offices which
will be filled at the general elec
tion, the republican and democrat
ic parties have their respective
candidates, but in some few cases
the name of the candidate of one
of the major parties will appear
upon the ballot as representing
the nominee of both. This is due
to the fact that voters of one par
ty having no candidate, of their
own often at the primary, election
write In the name of the successful
candidate of the opposite party
thereby giving him both nomina

ties functioning throughout the
