Than Before, Word
NEW YORK. Nor, 7-(AP)
John J. Raskob, democratic na
tional chairman, said today that
the democratic party had "noth
ing to be discouraged about" If
the total popular rote should show
the democrats hare decreased the
party's minority to 10 per cent.
of the total rote cast.
Me. Raskob's statements was
made In answer to a question
whether he had any idea what
caused- the Hoover landslide in
yesterday's election. -
"No. but I would like to see the
total popular vote," he replied.
"If we see that we will know a
great, deal better what It Indi
cates.
Total Popular Vot
Much Higher. Belief
"If - the total popular rote
should be In the ratio of 17 to 21
for Instance, with the result that
the democrats hare a minority of
only 10 per cent of the. total rote
east, that is a tremendous Increase
orer its former minority of 85
per cent, and I believe that if the
result shows anything like it.
it Is most encouraging.
"You cannot be happy in de
feat, but nevertheless, if there is
that kind of accomplishment,
there Is absolutely nothing to be
discouraged about. If in New
York we pull down a republican
majority from 700,000 to 10.000
and if In Ohio you pull it down to
about one-third of what it was, It
shows quite some strength.
Mr. Raskob said he would con
tinue as chairman of the national
committee for his four-year term.
He and James W. Gerard, demo
cratic national treasurer, have
been going over finances. Bills
still are coming in, the chairman
said, and there has been a flood
of last-minute contributions. He
said that while there was a de
ficit of about 31.000.000 in the
campaign fund, it will be a few
days before the . exact financial
status Is known. As soon as the
business of the campaign has been
completed, he said, the national
nead quarters will be moved to
Washington.

Hoover Victory Reacts Fa
vorably Upon Conditions
In Wall Street
Avalanche of Buying Orders
Comes in From All Sec
tions of U. S.
NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (AP)-
The biggest "bull" session in his
tory today signalized the begin
ning of what will hereafter be
known as the "Hoover market" in
Wall street.
An avalanche ol buying OTders,
almost as impressive as the land
slide of votes which carried the re
publican national ticket to victory
in yesterday's election, lifted
scores of stocks H to 815.50 a
share. Some of the gains were
cut down and a few representative
issues, such as General Motors and
U. S. Steel common closed frac
tionaally lower, but final quota-!
tlons generally were around the
highest of the day.
Total sales of 4,591,200 shares
have been exceeded only by the
record-breaking session of June 12
when 5,193,800 shares changed
hands In a declining market.
Early Gains Shown
Upon Ticketr Tape
The market bounded upward
from the opening gong. Curtlss
Aeroplane, one of the first stocks
to appear on, the tape, opened
with a gain of 310 a share. Then
came blocks of 5,000 to 20,000
shares of a wide assortment of oil
shares, 15 of which established
new high records tor the year dur
ing the day. Public utilities, which
were brought Into the political
limelight by the development of
the power question as a national
issue, also changed hands In tre
mendous volume at rising prices
Copper, mail order, merchandis
ing, textile, farm implement, ex
press and food: shares Joined the
advance as buying orders poured
on to the floor from all sections of
the country. Wireless messages
from ships at sea and from Euro
pean capitals, ; where American
securities were! bid up before the
New York market opened, contri
buted their quota of buying or
ders. L , i. . .
Relays of operators, working at
top speed, tried Ineffectually to
keep the. ticket tape abreast the
maraket. Soon ! after the market
opened, word came back from the
floor that the ticker had fallen 7
minutes behind, then 17 then 20,
and 30 until in early afternoon
the delay was extended to 45 mln
utee. A moderate slackening of
the pace of trading reduced the
delay to 12 minutes In the last
hour, but the usual last minute
rush of orders delayed the print
ing of the. final quotation until
43 minutes after the final gong
had sounded. 1

Persons Who Do
Their Visiting
On the Telephone.
MORE than one person
whose time is valuable
has found reasons to com
plain bitterly because of in
ability to get a call through by
telephone because someone at
the other end was "visiting" on
the wire. In an effort to find
out what Salem thinks of this
practice the New Oregon States
man asked a number of per
sons their views Tuesday. This
Is how they see it:
ROSCOE MARVIN, salesman,
said: "I think people who use
the telephone to carry on in
terminable, idle conversations
ought to be locked up in some
place. It's criminal! The tele
phone is no place to visit. It
Is a fine thing, but its use
ought to be reasonably re
stricted." J. HERBERT BARLOW, who
is in Salem following termina
tion of service In the United
States navy, said: "That de
pends upon how long they visit
over the telephone and how im
portant the matter they are
' talking about is. It also depends
upon who is talking.
NORMAN WRIGHT, 'Willam
ette student, said: "I don't see
why the telephone' can't be used
for visiting purposes. What
else should it be used for?
There are only certain phones
In business houses that 'would
be used at all if telephones were
restricted solely to business
calls."
MRS. CHARLES HICKS. S53
Leslie street, said: "Visiting
Over the telephone isn't advis
able, I would say, for many rea
sons. In the first place, it is an
awful temptation for other peo
ple to get the 'listening in' habit
it helps to form that habit.
Then, of course, it holds the lino
op, often when the line is badly
needed by others."
MISS LaVELLE KEENE,
224 Division street, said: -Why,
I don't see why a phone- should
net be used for visiting pur
poses. It gives lots of people
who couldn't otherwise meet
their many friends an oppor
tunity of exchanging news and
keeping in contact with daily
social events among their own
circles. I think it Is perfectly
all right to use the phone for
risitlng."
MRS. RUBT CURTIS, Am
bassador apartments, said: "A
few years ago. In country com
muni ties, the party line took the
place of the newspaper, with ev
erybody listening in to get the
news. This condition may still
Srevail in some communities,
irt to most people, the tele
phone is a business device which
they depend, upon .for prompt
service; and anyone. who abus
es it by gossiping for long per
iods on a party One, is certain
to cause annoyance for others."
HELEN MOTNIHAN, the girl
with the golden voice who-ens
wers telephone calls at the New
Oregon Statesman office, said:
"People who gossip orer the
telephone should install a radio,
since broadcasting seems to be
their nature." ! ' : -
