POLITICS PASS ZERO HOUR ID WINDUP STARTS Shorter Elections Shown Necessary; Campaigns Overstrain Nation Even Roosevelt bet not Found, Oregon; Church Endorsements Loom Beware of Goblins Monday Night; Its an Old Hallowe'en Custom By SHELDON F. SACKETT The 1932 political campaign has seen its zero hour, its charge and counter charge, and any rotes now captured by either party will be few. The situation resembles evangelistic services. Good preach ers know few souls are saved after the first half hour. Governor Roosevelt will tour New England this week and Pres ident Hoover after a major speech in New York on Monday may dash for California and way points but the campaign is nearly through and speculation on its outcome Is the major topic for the week ahead. The prolonged pre-conveution campaign and the four and one half months' campaign thereafter demonstrate in this parlous year the necessity of shorter and snap pier national elections. Germany and England have their political moments and the fight runs high but the battle is over long before a major American engagement goes over the top and out into no man's land. Along with the Norris amendment which abolishes the lame-duck congress and puts the Incoming president into office two months ahead of the now prevail ing time, there might well be added a section to cut down po litical campaigns one third and relieve the nation of the untoward strain of a too extended and need lessly repetitive political battle Smith Speech Highlight; Hoover Rebuttal Effective The past week, nevertheless, has brought Its moments. Alfred E. Smith's speech at Newark was the highlight followed closely by Pres ident Hoover's scorching, slashing and effective rebuttal Friday night at Indianapolis. Smith's speech showed the rancor of 1928. His diatribes at all persoss, parties and creeds which happened to op pose his views seared into the minds and hearts of any number of neutral or pro-Roosevelt re publicans and sent them scurry lng back to the fold. Smith's managers here and la the east quickly saw the patent weakness of his Newark speech Oregon democratic newspapers played the speech down or did not print it at all. Democratic leaders in Portland burned up the wires commanding that Smith be jerked Roosevelt went into a huddle in New York City with Farley and within 24 hours Smith had been pulled from fneNnational lineup and his future addresses confined to the territory where Al has in fluence. i Smith's Immediate effect here was to galvanize church groups dry groups, and others into more vigorous, aroused action on be- half,xf the republican candidate. Slippery Sam Tariff Policy Loses Lumbermen The slippery Sam tariff policy of Mr. Roosevelt also came home to roost during the last week. Some worried westerners wired the governor to take a stand on agricultural duties. Whereupon Mr. Roosevelt announced that "ob viously" be would do nothing to reduce these. Quick to see how compromising and Insincere the democratic candidate's policy on tariff had been, Mr. Hoover show ed Friday night at Indianapolis the chameleon which Roosevelt's tariff policy had been. In Oregon the lumber industry ' has massed to support the president and thus to encourage the gains in produc tion and price which have come in the last two months, solely due to tariff. ' The Literary Digest and other polls are being used by the demo cratic party as proof conclusive that this campaign Is all over but the shouting. They ignore the fact that the vast majority of the votes cast were balloted before the ma jor Hoover offensive started, be ginning with his speech at De Moines, on October 4. This writer cast his Digest ballot September 22, a date which indicates when the western sample ballots began to arrive. No serious political ob server believes the Digest's poll of 14 to 8 for . Roosevelt In Oregon will be sustained; even money conld not be obtained in Salem last week on Roosevelt to carry Oregon, so overwhelming has been the republican registration and so secure has this state been for re publicanism throughout its 73 years of statehood. Women's Vote in Pool Is Overlooked Another factor overlooked by poll pronouncements Is that the men's vote has been three tinges as numerous as that of women. According to the New York Times, . in the Hearst poll which shows - 1S1 electoral votes for Hoover. Of ' the men voting 53 per cent went for Roosevelt; . only only 52 per cent of the women went for the democrat. Thus the percentage of Roosevelt's lead Is all out of pro portion of the actual vote, women considered. The women's rote will run from 40 to 5 per cent of the (Turn to page 3, coL 1) l J- - i- HOPEFUL SIGNS FOR HOP PRICE SEEN AT MEET Growers Pass Resolutions In Support of Repeal Of Anderson law 5 V 4 Against Saloon; Find no Difference in Parties On Tariff Issues Politicians Enter Volley Ball Tourney Monday night October 31, the Democrats.

Howard, state superintendent of public instruction announced here Saturday. Howard's statement was based on information obtained from each state school superintendent or commissioner of education, and was Issued primarily to counter act Information that has been broadcast to the effect that Ore gon's normal schools are not ac credited Institutions in other states. Replies from 39 states indicate that 38 of them recognize the Oregon normal schools as stan dard two-year teacher training In stitutions. Michigan is the only one of the 39 states that does not give the Oregon normal schools such recognition. Xo Extra Work Required, 18 States Eighteen of these states issue teachers' certificates to the grad uates of Oregon's normal schools without additional examination or courses. Seven issue certificates with the single provision that the courses taken must correspond to certain specified subject grouping. Nine others have set up specific examinations or courses of their own which must be taken by all normal school graduates coming from other states before certifi cates will be granted. There are four states, Arizona, California, Maryland and Wash ington, that require more than two years of elementary teacher training before a certificate will be issued. "This investigation was made," Howard said, 'in order to secure accurate information on which to base replies to many inquiries that have recently como to this department as to the standing of the Oregon normal schools. These figures should set at rest the ru mor that these institutions are without recognition outside of Oregon.

The president plans to leave the national capital again on Monday morning to swing through Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, and then late Wed nesday or Thursday he will turn westward once more. Although his plans are tenta tive, with details still to be de cided, Mr. Hoover probably will go through Chicago. Minneapolis. Springfield. 111., and St. Louis. In the order named. Dozens of rear platform appearances would be arranged. Some of the president's closest advisors are somewhat doubtful he will make a trip to the west coast, must most of his plans have been arranged so that an eleventh hour shift would be pos sible. As he traveled back today from Indianapolis and his fourth ma jor address in the interior, the chief executive took no rest from his drive for .re-election. At half a dozen halts in West Virginia and western Maryland he told audiences ranging from the hundreds to several thousand, as estimated by police, that the "forces of depression" are in fur ther retreat.

Eddy, president of the Goss Printing Press com pany, Chicago, has complained to Franklin D. Roosevelt, democra tic presidential nominee, that his campaign organization had ap proached him with a "flagrant at tempt at political blackmail" in seeking campaign funds. "In mid-October. A. P. Homer. director of the marine committee of the finance division of the dem ocratic national committee. Hotel Biltmore. New York. City, sent two letters to Mr. Eddy soliciting funds for the campaign." te re publican statement said. "In the first. Mr. Homer called attention that Governor Roose velt, 'while assistant secretary of the navy, was the man who per sonally saw that your contract was reinstated after its cancella tion on Armistice day,' and then requested Mr. Eddy to send a campaign contribution In the form of a check to F. C. Walker, treas urer of the democratic national campaign committee. "On the next day (Oct. 14) Mr. Homer sent a second letter to Mr. Eddy, toning down the first, but at the same time setting forth that 'in view of the friendly re lations between Mr. Roosevelt while assistant secretary of the navy, and your company, I feel sure that you will be glad to send a substantial check to help with this campaign.' When the Salem voter enters 1 the polls one week from Tuesday, he will find on his ballot, in ad dition to an almost appalling number of places to mark his county,, state and -national X's, three city charter amendments to pass upon and one or two city of ficers to choose, according to his ward. With the city measures and candidates tailing the ballot, it will be with a sigh of relief that he realizes he- is nearly through making these X's. City police last week began campaigning vigorously for the main proposed -charter amend ment, that to place the police de partment under the same civil service regulations as was don to the Ore department following the May eity election. This meas ure has received endorsements of many, ci vie organizations. Opin ions on Its merits are being spok en variously bat, considering the huge majority vote for the fire department eivil service, and ob veraely, the fact many unfavor able votes will bo cast by persons who have met the police officers 1 ander disagreeable circumstances it is fairly probably that this amendment will be adopted. The other two proposed charter amendments involve lowering the city's service charge for making sidewalk and street improve ments. That lt will be accepted by the voters is without doubt in this period of complaint against taxes. How the race for the combined position of city recorder, police Judge and purchasing agent will end is a sizeable question mark at present. Both Mark Poulsen, the incumbent, and H. S. Bosshard, his opponent, have many staunch friends. Bosshard is campaign ing heavily. Citizens in four of the seven wards will choose aldermen since no candidate In these areas ob tained a majority In May. Candi dates are: -First ward C. L. Par .enter. H.
