-Mrs. Skiff had written Mr.
George asking for the name
of - some woman in Eugene
who might head a local chapter
there Of the War Mothers. Com
mander George replied discount
ing the need of such an organisa
tion, and stating, "you might be
able to appeal to some disgrun
tled, self-seeking individual who
would appreciate the opportunity
of championing your cause for the
express purpose of gratifying a
personal and selfish desire, but it
is my belief that it would not ap
peal to any of the leaders in our
community."
Legionnaires Not in
Sympathy With Chief
Local legionnaires do not agree
with Mr. George in believing the
War Mothers an unnecessary du
plication. They point to the suc
cess of the Salem chapter of the
organization and to the tact that
1twas organized long before the
Legion Auxiliary and was ap
proved v; by President Wilson.
Marked resentment is also report

Pnrour4etter relative to organ
izing a chapter of American War
Mothers In Eugene has been re
ceived. I have studied the en
closed declaration of principles of J
yonr organization with some interest-
and it seems to me that
theycolftorm directly to a limited
degree to the objects and purposes
of the American auxiliary. It
therefore becomes me to refer you
to lira. Mary Cheney of Medford.
Or., state president, the American
Legion auxiliary, for her approval
and assistance in your organiza
tion work.
Group Held Absorbed
In Auxiliary Body
As far as the American Le
gion is concerned our auxiliary
organization embodies your limit
ed objectives and much more. It
has developed throughout the
state of Oregon into a powerful,
active service organization. It has
fulfilled our every expectation
and Is rendering great service. It
seems to me your organization
could only hope to interrupt and
dissipate the forces of our auxil
iary as far as the situation in Eu
gene is concerned. Our auxiliary
organization is very satisfactory.
Toq might be able to appeal to
some disgruntled self seeking In
dividual who would appreciate the
opportunity of championing your
cause for the expressed purpose
of gratifying a personal and self
ish desire, but it is my belief It
would not appeal to any of the
leaders In our community.
Mothers Group Held
Poor Patriotism
'The great patriotic heights to
which America's motherhood rise
in sacrifices, loyalty and devotion
during the World War Is a most
sacred thing to all true legion
naires and we have symbolized
their love and devotion In our re
spect to the American Legion aux
iliary. It seems to me a sacrilege
to wrap the American flag around
America's motherhood and flaunt
it before the public In a sentimen
tal, selfish organization, is dese
crating a. most sacred institution
"I have hesitated in answering
your letter because your request
disturbed me to no small degree
We are intensely proud and loyal
to our auxiliary and we of the le
gion will not be concerned at this
time in any movement that might
militate to their effectiveness.
trust you can appreciate that this
expression is prompted only for
the best Interest and welfare of
this question as we see it."

Two Prisoners Killed In
Attempt To Win Freedom
o
PROVIDENCE. R. L. April It
(AP) A desperate bid for
freedom, not without a touch of
chivalry and a full measure of
self sacrifice, was bought to an
abupt and sanguine end at Cran
ston state prison today with the
deaths of two . prisoners, the
wounding of two others and the
probable fatal wounding of a
guard.
One of the two who died, with
hope of a pardon in the near
future, was shot down trying to
sound an alarm. The ether took
his life when hope of freedom
faded.
Although beset on all sides,
the rioting prisoners declined to
hold as hostage the daughter of
their warden who unsuspectingly
appeared in their ' midst. . ; --

E
Candidates About to Enter
Final Spurt in Race for
Various Offices
Personal Missionary Work
Chief Characteristic of
Campaign Now
Politics in Marion county hsf
reached the card stage. This la
usually just preliminary to the
fighting stage. So far the, cars
rash has been confined to sia
70's, the pocket card for personal
hand-outs. There are very fe-s .
Placard sizes being exposed en
post or in window. Perhaps thie
campaign may pass without much
discoloration of the landscape
But of personal cards with tae
usual portrait on the left there
are an abundance. They represent
the conventional method of ap
proach of the aspirants for t
legislature, for Justice of the
peace, city recorder, mayor
councilman in their canvass fr
support.
There is a deal of shoe-leather
work going on now by the can
didates themselves, which is pre
liminary to the telephone period
that comes the last two weeks be
fore the primaries. In the tele
phone period the wives and
mothers and sweethearts form the
shock troops who are called on to
do their stuff for the big push.
Thus far the multitude of can
didates for justice of the peace
and for state representative hav
confined their efforts chiefly te
personal work. One hears little
"knocking" of the other fellow.
That same situation Is true of the
governorship also. It's a genteel
fight, with no skin being scratch
ed or bruised even bythe usually
intractable Joseph. In fact the
campaign is almost - a conspiracy
of silence so far as the other fel
low is concerned.
Norblad Supporters to
Become Very Active
The Norblad club In Salem took .
off its coat the past week, and la
getting ready to roll up its sleeves.
This club with Hal Patton at the
head, believes in personal evan
gelism, and they expect to preaa
gate their gospel diligently ever'
the primary. The Corbett strength
remains the silent but none -the"
less positive force. Floyd Ceek
drops in occasionally from Pert-
isnd to keep the wires on- the
political fences tight.
Cook by th way has it all fig
ured out that Corbett Is a sri
winner. He expects the Corbett
plurality in 'eastern Oregon to
offset the coast rote for NorMad:
leaving the two to split In tbe
Willamete valley and southern
Oregon. With Corbett coming out
of Multnomah with a real native
son lead, that is expected to nut
him over. Corbett continnes bia
routine of full-time personal
work with addresses before clebe
snd civic bodies mixed In. Marion
eounty at present shows a Nor
blad complexion: but the Corbett
contention Is that this will alter
somewhat by primary day. axd
