Selection of Jurors Slated to
Begin in Circuit Court
' This Morning
PORTLAND, Oct. 24. (AP)
The trial of James P. Cooke, pres
ident of the defunct Overbeck A
Cooke company, bond brokers, is
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
pott, secretary-treasurer. j
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
uary. ;
Goodwin yesterday afternoon
pleaded guilty to the charges laid
in the indictment on which Cooke
will be tried. What effect his ac
tion may have is seemingly caus
ing some concern for Mr. Collier,
although he declared that the de
fense will lay stress on the 'claim
that Cooke was not at fault, i
It was said that Goodwin -had
made a statement to District At
torney Myers, after pleading guil
ty, but Mr. Myers refused to di
vulge, wha was contained in it.
Mr. Myers denied that immun

At Mount Angel
The republican rally which was
to have been held Wednesday
night at Mt. Angel failed to ma
terialize although Patrick Galla

Oregon, was present to address tne
meeting and members of the coun
ty republican .central . committee
also, made the trip to Mt. Angel
expecting tew attend.
It was discovered that Alois He
ber, Mt. Angel precinct committee
man had for some reason arranged
the meeting on the night of a big
community meeting, which prac
tically, everyone In the community
attended. About 25 persons were
present for the republican rally,
but most of them were from out of
town. Mr. Keber was not present.
Mr. Gallagher,! who reached ML'
Angel at 4 o'clock in the after
noon, reported after discussing the
political situation with residents
there, that the Mt. Angel commun

At San Antonio, as at previous
national conventions, the Oregon
delegation was the - only . state
group with a special advertising
exhibit- There wersc displays of
many Oregon products.-and Salem
obtained the principal benefit of
this for the reason that a big card
prepared by the First National
Bank, with information about
Salem," was the most -prominent
thing in it, standing between the
colors and the state department
emblem '4 --
. This exhibit included a large
quantity of Oregon fruit and oth
er agricultural products,: and 100
pounds of smoked" salmon, select
ed as being reminiscent of the
"goldfish" of 'war times, were
served : to 10.000 persons - who
visited the exhibit. t -
- The thousands of flax badge s
prepared by the Salem 'Chamber
of Commerce, were pinned on that
I many persons the drum corps
members didn't hand them to any
body, they, pinned them on so they
would stay. This feature also
gave Salem an unequalled amount
Jot favorable publicity.

To Dance inGjm ; -
At Salem High.
"M-iROM time to time the New
JP Oregon Statesman has
been In receipt of communica
tions suggesting that the ban
on dancing in the gymnasium
of Salem High school be lifted.
Of course this paper has noth
ing to say in such a matter, it
being wholly under the control
and direction of the school au
thorities. Recently, however,
there have been repeated tele
phone calls to this office from
persons who urged that dancing

get some line on what the pub.
lie thinks of the idea, several
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 '
danced in 'the 'gymnasium' of the
-high school in Golden,; Cplo.,1
when we lived there" and one of
my sons at&fidsrtiances in hlsi
icollege- "gymt I. should ' think !
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
cares to dance. If they did, I
would not object It seems to
me. the gymnasium is the best
place for them" to dance; there
they mav be under aururl1nn

'- H. F. CHRISTIANSEN, sales
man with the Vibbert & Todd
electrical . company, said: "I
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
quainted with their own. class
mates as well as members of
the other classes. I believe tho
dances should be student body
affairs 'an dwould suggest that"
they end at 10 o'clock. Certain

better than a public dance halL"
LEE COE, advertising man

"Dancing in the gym at high

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
tions. Most of the-minor political par
ties functioning throughout the
United States will be represented
