FULFILLMENT OR REPUDIATION IRAM JOHNSON is backing Harding for president-be cause he is against the League fcf Nations. In a state ment issued at San Francisco July 7, the California sen ator referred to the league fight as the "all engrossing and vfcramount, issue." Senator Johnsonoes not claim that the li il'iior issue a at stake for he knows that neither party "lias made ;ny attack upon theory amendment. ", lrln the same statement Senator Johnson "refers to tne firm mtand against the league covenant taken by the Chicago conven .'tkm and to the affirmative stand taken by the San Francisco convention in behalf of the league. He, Johnson, supports the iChicago viewpoint and dislikes the endorsement of the league jbyhe democratic convention. , , . f,n Senator Johnson correctly assays the situation. The league ijssue is the one big thing in the campaign and the only big issue. iH is right in interpreting the Chicago conventions position as being an anti league stand. He is right in his view of Harding's personal position because as a Lodge henchman on the senate foreign relations committee Senator Harding, was one of the men lwho kept the senate from ratifying the treaty. j?pr The coming campaign is going to. be a fight over the League fof Nations but it involves more than that. It involves the ques tkwi as to whether this nation shall sustain or repudiate its war promises. Without objection from republicans or any one else the nation committed itself to support of the league before we entered war and after we were engaged in war. We must either (make good on that promise or else repudiate the obligation. The ;pople will give their verdict in November. Rt i ' . ' "9""'l" ..--. .-ii.

A com plete -year-round recreational system, however, demands the establishment nt some centrally located point in tha city of a municipal recreation build ing of the most modern type, and' be cause Round-Up park is sitimted nt n somewhat inconvenient distance from the eat end of town, " this hulKIIng should he surrounded by -grounds nB commodious fts Van ho secured.' fne city block with the community hotue placed in the comer rather than In the development of splendid outdoor facilities.

Governor Coolidge earned fame in rnnectfon ith the Boston police strike and is plainly an. element of gxength to the republican ticket. i Franklin Roosevelt is no less renowned and his reputation i by no means due to the fact he is a distant relative of the late polonel.- As a leader in the New York state senate 10 years ago Franklin Roosevelt came into the limelight when he led a move that blocked the election of Sheehan, Tammany's choice for the United States senate..' He served two terms in the. state senate , nd made such a name for himself that he was appointed assist ant secretary of the navy in J913. That.position he has held continuously since that time. He was the navy's second in cpmi mand during the, war and is given much, of the credit for tjie excellent record made by ourseafighters. " . rt At the San Francisco convention Roosevelt was a popular and conspicuous figure. On the first day -of theponventien jt vas he who grabbed the New York standard and earned it dur ing the great McAdoo demonstration. He was the leader of the 5J0 McAdoo men in the New York delegation and these pen were 4 very influential element in the convention. They w'jere made up largely of up state men and of men who had travelled ex tensively over the country, thus getting a broader viewpoint than is held by the average Gothamite. . ." , Personally, Roosevelt is tall and f good appearance, He ia verv democratic and makes friends readuv. His wife is a niece of Colonel Roosevelt and the vice, presidential nominee iiimself is related to the Astors through his mother. i At the convention Roosevelt became the logical vice presl dential choice because he had been a McAdoo. worker and such a man was wanted on the ticket. Tammany acquiesced in his selection because of fear he would run for United States senator from New York. ., - . . ;r . While at the San Francisco convention the writer talked to men from Maine, Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, California, Wybming, Alaska, Washington, the Carohnas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Delaware and other states, Some of these men were newenaoer workers, others rovernors senators, common delegates and visitors. The net impression j gathered is that people of Pendleton and Umatilla county are about, as well informed on political issues as are others, be they tygh or low in political station, tl - . , i ................. f, The'wheat crop is so nearly made that few are now worrying rn'uch over the yield but it must be confessed the grain pit is. not trying very h Ad to force the Wisconsin professor's $5 per bushel price upon the farmers. ................. , . . ., ' Those who stand for a greater and better Pendleton will be rlrtremely .interested in Miss Cummings' report on playground end recreational opportunities for Pendleton, the report being published in full today.

The Yellow (tab Com- pany of Chicago uses Firestone Tubes exclusi vely on its 800 taxicabs. The service of these tubes is checked constantly improvements and develop ments are arrived at. By close watching of a large number ofjtubes in service-not confined - to isolated instances the conclusions are accurate, and definite. r , Firestone puts the best in materials inta tubes by establishing purchasing experts at Singapore, center of the world's rubber market Firestone . puts the best in workmanship into tubes by organ-; ,izing tha?crack manufacturing organization of the industry on a profit-sharing basis. 'Ahd then subjects big-scale road test . your, tube money the finished product .to this in order to get you more for and more miles out. of your tires. And yet Firestone Tubes cost no more than the ordinary kind. "--- ' HTm n Xr m s : .
