Campaign of Vilification
Against him Claimed
By Independent
As a self-avowed applicant for
the Job "of business manager of
the tate of Oregon," Julius L.
Meier. Portland merchant, came
to Salem yesterday to present his
application In person to 150
chamber of comemrce members
who dined with Mm and an over
flow crowd of 75 who gathered
around the fringe of the chamber
of commerce auditorium to hear
what the independent candidate
for governor had to say.
Meier had gained considerable
poise and calm since his first ap
pearance In Salem. He spoke
earnestly and with effective mod
ulation throughout his 20-minute
address.
"I represent the Interests of
the common people of Oregon,"
he said. "When I came to Salem
the door of the office at the
statehouse wil always be open to
delegations of the people. There
will be no special interests. And
there will be no 'back door.'
Protesting at an aleged pro
gram of villification and slander
farried on against him, the candi
date Invited anyone who heard
slanderous statements to call him
"collect at my home in Portland
and I'll tell you the entire truth."
"This campaign has been de
graded into a personal attack on
me," declared Meier. "I tell you
the record of Meier & Frank is an
open book. Tet them investigate
It if they wish. I know they're
tent threatening letters and
phoned my wife to attempt to in
timidate her. We've even placed
a watchman at our house. But
let them come on; 'I'll meet the
enemies to my campaign one at
a time "
Promises Aid to
Flax Indnstry
Meier promised that if elected
he would make his home in Sa
lem "where his Job was." He said
hia firm would be the first to
subscribe to funds to reorganize
the local flax business and went
out of his way to point out that
he made this promise" in no
cense as a bribe but because I've
been requested to make a state
ment on the flax industry while
in Salem."
The speaker opened his re
marks by a tribute to George Jo
seph whom he said was a life-long
friend and business associate of
his.
"I went into the campaign be
cause a preconceived planned and
plotted convention chose ' the
chairman of the state committee
who had been working through
out the state securing the pledges
of tlie members. It was truly
perrect 36.' "
Meier went on to say he was
not a politician and didn't pro
pose to be. He 6aid he entered
. the campaign "because the plat
form of George Joseph was
thrown into the waste basket."
Takes Crack at
Power Trust
1 m in this thing not a3 a per
sonal matter; the campaign is a
matter of principle with me," he
adned. "I have no connections. I
don't represent the octopus of the
power trust. If I'm elected one
thing is certain: I'll be a gover
nor, for the people. I want to be
a captain of this ball team and
xou may be sure if I am, we'll
make some scores."
Meier apologized for his own
self-praise saying it was one of
the things which apparently be
came necessary in a campaign.
He said Metschan and Bailey
jrere good men but both in the
hands of the power trust.
Straying from the matter of
the Joseph platform, Meier took
a vigorous crack at the Morning
Oregonlan. He said the paper had
slipped far from the Ideals of
Harvey Scott and was no longer a
reat organ. "I can say that the
Associated Press news and the
advertising on the back page is
all I advise you to read," said
Meier. "John Logan, John Kelly
and W. Lari Thompson run the
paper; Morden and Price are not
really figures in conducting the
institution.
Meier was introduced by Sen
ator Sam Brown who character
Ized him as a philanthropist, bus
mess man without a- peer and
Oregon's next governor."

"What a Widow," that is what
I say, and It Is a safe wager that
is what you will say after seeing
Gloria Swanson In this picture
which will be at the Capitol to
day and tomorrow.
It is a new Gloria who dashes,
trips, pouts, and vamps her way
through this amusing "comedy
of errors." Sometimes one
catches a glimpse of Mary Pick
ford, then again one is reminded
of Marie Dressier, and then it is
just Gloria who acts only as
Gloria would.
There Is not much plot the
play is Gloria, bnt she has an ex
cellent cast to support her and
the photography is a high point
in favor of the picture.
The picture is mora clever
than a straight comedy, yet it is
more funny, for outwardly the
scheme of things Is .serious and
one feels that one has a good
Joke on the cast they think
the yare getting away with a ser
ious play but the observer knows
better, then suddenly one dis
covers that the actors are having
as much fun out of it as anyone.
A different show a musical
comedy without the music.
"The Sea God" is altogether
different than "What a Widow."
A tense play with intrigue and
dirty work the predominate forc
es. A love story does throw a
ray of softness here and there to
relieve the tension.
The photography f3 wonderful
and so is the sound. When one
realizes that both camera and
microphone were under water in
much of this play one is forced
to sit and admire the astounding
results.
You will be particularly inter
ested in the work done by Ivan
Stimpson as "Pearly Nic". He
i3 not on the screen for long but
he does some very fine acting
while he is there. I have seen
Richard Arlen do better work
but he is good as the "Sea God."
