IRVING FISHER SETS FORTH TEN REASONS FOR WILSON VICTORY 1IY HIVING FISHER, (Professor of Political Sconomy, Yale University.) In politics I am an Independent, one of that body of voters, not large at present but Increasing In numbers, I believe, who distrust so culled "party loyalty." that Is rubber-stamped vot ing, and believe, instead, In voting for one party or another according to one's convictions as to the best Inter ests of the country at the time. It Is through the existence of an independ ent vo(e that the public opinion can exert IU chief Influence I was present at three conventions in Chicago and St. louls, attended mine meetings of their platform com mittees, was present at Mr. Hughes' ceremony of acceptance and have read carefully the important documents '.ml speeches of the campaign tftsr careful Consideration, I have joined the Wilson Independent league. I thoroughly believe that the best In terests of the country requires Mr. Wilson's re-election. 1 expect independent voters in gen eral to vote for Wilson. 1 may add (for (he superstitious ) that all the presidential candidates for whom 1 have hitherto voted, heglnnlng in 1888. have heen elected. My chief reasons for voting for President Wilson are the following: Raising a Dust. 1. The so-called issues of "Ameri canism," preparedness, the Lusltanla Incident, the Mexican situation, and all others that have grown out of for- (Continued on Page S.) Unprecedented freight business II now being experienced by the .-W It. A N. L'o and is creating a sen. i car shortage, according to H. C Oliver, traveling freight and passen ger agent who is here today. As an evidence of the volume ot business being done by the company, Mr. Oliver slates that five new road engines have been placed on the Pen- dleton-Huntlngtefl division in the past two weeks and a new switch en gine has been added to the equipment at Hlsth- This makes two day en gines and two night engines in sen Ice at llleth whereas there never at any time Was more than three In ser vice at Umatilla. Mr, Oliver declares (hat the car Shortage), Which is the greatest ever known In the country. Is already be ginning to he felt In eastern Oregon, and he expects the situation to be come worse before long. Theretore he Is advising funnel's and grain buy ers In prepare for storing their grain until equipment oaa be .secured for moving it. The fact that all grain is beinl shipped across the continent by rail Instead of going by water la one fac tor making for the shortage, he says, while the revival of the lumber bus iness Is another factor. There are heavy shipments of horses, too. and by the first of the month the ship ment of sheep will begin. Already there Is a shortage of stock cars. "We receive no cars out west ex cept what are brought here loaded, ' he said this morning, "No empties are brought out here. It takes on the average 90 days for a freight car to go to Chicago and back, so you can understand how long it takes to go to the Atlantic seaboard and return, In past years when grain Was ship ped to the Pacific coast the distances were so short that one car could bs used 18 times to where It is used once now Another thing that works for a shortage is thai ;he most of the i grain going east is shipped in bulk, j thus requiring No. , boxcars. Inj past years sacki d w heat has been shipped In stock and coal cars to re-' llSVe the shortage." Mr. Oliver urges that shippers and in sign see cooperate with the roads In every possible way to relieve the ttuatlon. "We flmpll have not the cars to fill the present, extraordinary i eniands. ' be said, 'and we want.' the public to realise this and help us is much as poSStel." WASHINGTON, Ut. M, The enemy fleet has theoretieatll de- MfOyMl the defenders.

Kmnloyes admitted a few men might continue working. Thej saasstad Moat railroads would be absolutely helpless. The trainmen blamed the railroad heads for the situation. They declared the big executives would be rofionslMc for all starvation and ruin as a result of the strike, Railroad managers are all read). They have prepared emer gency schedules and intend to embargo war munitions, dry goods and all non-pori-hablo shipments. They will carry only food. One railroad executive declared ail the Ilrotherhood members were not intending to walk out. He said: "We are fighting the leader. I know my men are loyal. They like me. but we must proiiare against anything." One great railroad system wrote thousands of letters to be mailed to em ployes an hour after the strike starts. They give the railroad's side and asic co-iviH-ration to prevent a national calamity.
