President J. N. Chambers presiding, when the candidates for the senate and the house tfom Marion county each were ollowed two minutes to tell about them selves and their platform. ' Oliver Meyers, wielding a punc tual gon. cut short several talks but the majority ot the speakers bad their talks carefully plan ned and kept within the time lim it. An audience, one of the largest of the year, came out to greet the aspirants for office. Business Principles fetresMd by McAllister Tha job of the legislator is a business proposition, Lee McAllis ter told the chamber members. Vol until people realize that the legislature must be run on bus iness principles will the situatiou there be improved, he declared. McAllister's slogan is "Just plain business; nv freak: laws." James W. Mott favors the North Santiam highway according to his statement but he rests his candidacy for election to the lower house principally upon his record as representative from Clatsop County. He served that district in three successive terms. Mott citeu numerous Important pieces of leg islation which he sponsored in cluding the fish-wheel abolition, the Astoria fire relief bill, the re sumption of trolling act and the Original reforestation measure. Fewer Laws Urged By Carlton Smith W. Carlton Smith declared that there are too many laws aid than people should not expect to rem edy eyery evil by legislation. He said he considered the principal job of the legislator was to repre sent the people and to protect their interests against the power ful lobbies which came to each Session at the state house. The heartiest applause given any speaker went to S. B. Mills, democrat. "I'm a simple, common farmer" he declared and went on to declare he thought more equitable legislation eould be ob tained by having more farmers and fewer lawyers la the legisla ture. Mills poked tun at the lawyers who passed both the five-dollar a day expense bill and the tax Qual ification for voting bonds only to find both measures declared un constitutional by the state iu areme court. Ambitious Program Is Outlined by BergSYlk ' Lara Bergsvik said his program ealled for state as well as federal -evelonment of the Willamette river with the Tiew of reducing freight ratea to Salem. He prom ised ta support the wth 8an .tiam highway measure and to consider every expressed wish of nis constituents. If he was elected. Lloyd Reynolds pointed out the Jact that the seren bills he intro duced In the last session were aU carried and signed. One made pos sible the grandstand at the state fair. Reynolds said cooperation among members of the delegation -ade possible success.

DOAK HOLLYWOOD Today "Devil May Care," with Ramon Novarro. Friday "Untamed" with Joan Crawford. BLIGH'S CAPITOL Today "General Crack," John Barrymore. . GRAND Today "The Cock Eyed World." Wednesday "Lucky Star." Friday "Night Ride." FOX ELSIXORE Today "The Light of Western Stars." Theatres are cooperating In splendid fashion with the local "better music week" committee in giving time for local music num bers to he presented from their stages. Bligh's Capitol presented Wen dell Robinson in vocal numbers Monday night. Tonight it will pre sent Mrs. S. W. Starr, soprano, in a group ot attractive selections. Wednesday night the violin choir, of which Elizabeth Levy is director, will be presented in con cert and on this same occasion the Salem Men's quartet will sing. Saturday night the Salem Civic Men's chorus will sing under the direction of Prof. E. W. Hobson. The Hollywood will present Ar butus Rudie tonight and Wednes day night Eva Roberts will sing. Monday night Wee Davie Smith sang from the Hollywood stage. The Grand program Is still to be announced and the Fox Elsi nore has already been announced. Thus each theatre in the city will be contributing graciously to the cause of "better music." "General Crack" is an excellent j picture. It Is not ordinary nor Is the plot a bit hackneyed. John Barrymore does the sort ot things with his voice that one finds one self wishing for in most of the sonad pictures when he speaks one listens, perhaps not to what he Is saying but even a stnpldity takes on meaning when he says it. There are some stupidities In the picture for Instance the lovely princess, Marian Nixon, who Is supposed .to have been sister to Leopold U of Austria, during the latter part of the 18th century, looks coyly at "General Crack" and informs him that she 1b not "fishing" for a compliment. It is doubtful if the grand ladies of Leopold's court used such phraa ology. At another time one ot the "grand gentlemen" says "gare," and it aonnds very much like Amos n Andy.
