with the Injuction to the people to
"leave well enough alone," United

Oklahoma, yesterday afternoon made
one of the most eloquent political ad

cause of rain he could not speak in
the open air as planned but the Alts
theater was crowded to the doors with
an enthusiastic audience,
"A tree Is judged by Its fruits rath

disregard campaign utterances and
compare the accomplishments of the
present administration with the ac
complishments of the republicans dur

He also asked his hearers to compare

He forced a window and fired a re

The referendum vote on the con

Australia today. Premier Hughes ad

the Australian labor party is bitterly
hostile toward him. Possibly the

unrelenting war against Germany, A

Hughes is aged 52. He was born
in Wales, but went to Australia in
1884. He figured prominently in the
trades union affairs before entering
parliament. Recently he returned
from England where be created a tre

his efforts to find a popular Issue,
picturing him as arising each morn

Hughes campaign has been a frank
disappointment . to many people
through the lack of deflniteness ol
his promises. "He reminds me of a
horse I once knew," said the senator.
"He runs better with his mouth shut
than open." However, he said,
Hughes has been In a precarious po
sition, trying to please both standpat
and progressive elements with his
talks.
Discussing the attempts the repub

ONTARIO MAN GIVES
GOOD NORMAL SUPPORT
W. H. Brooke Points Out Advantages
From Having School Located In
Town of Some Slse.
From all over the state local peo
ple are receiving letters Indicating
that the normal school letter writing
campaign is proving effective. Dist
rict Attorney Stelwer today received
the following typical communication
from a friend, W. H. Brooke of Mal
heur county
Dear Mr. 8telwer: I believe that
eastern Oregon should have a Nor
mal school, and that such a school
should be located In a town of some
size on the main line of the railroad.
Where a school is located In a
small place, It Is difficult to obtain
proper accommodations for those at
tending the school, and the town be
comes practically a school town,
where the students are secluded from
ordinary worldly affairs, and hence
the tendency is to narrow rather than
enlarge their mental horizon. In a
larger town they receive not only the
advantages of their school training,
but also have an opportunity to wit
ness and take part In larger affairs
along economic, social and political
lines, and thereby their training be
comes of larger and more Important
value.
I consider Pendleton an ideal town
for the location of such a school, for
the reason that It is one of the larger
towns of eastern Oregon, centrally lo
cated so far as railroad facilities are
concerned, has an excellent climate,
and,a high class citizenship: besides
affording as good an opportunity as
any town In eastern Oregon for the
students there to witness, take pert in.
and become familiar with the affairs
of the world in general, and matters
of public importance.
For these reasons I am pleased to
do what I can to lend my support to
the Pendleton Normal School BllL
With kind personal recard, I am
Yours very truly.
