Bolshevik Army Is
Annihilated by Poles
During Recent Drive
Warsaw, Sept. 2. The bolshe
viki army of General Budenny,
noted cavalry leader, was annihi
lated during the operations in the
Lemberg sector which began Au
gust 29 .and ended September 1,
says today's Polish statement.
Isolated detachments o tha
Budenny forces escaped.
General Budenny's mounted men
had been endeavoring to break
through the Polish lines and march
upon Lublin. They nearly had com
pleted an encircling movement
against Zaniosz, midway between
Lublin and Lemberg, but were out
flanked and attacked from the
east, the communication states.
The engagement resulted in the de
feat of the soviet forces along the
entire center of the front and the
Russians were compelled to re
treat in disorder with the Poles
In close pursuit.
The bolshevik! lost heavily in
killed and wounded, adds the
statement, the Poles capturing
niuusanos or prisoners. IS guns
and enormous quantities of mater
uu.
The battle took the form of nu
merous cavalry clashes with the
infantry filling in the gaps and at
tacking all along the line simul
taneously.
Beside announcing the victory
of the Poles over Budenny in the
Zamosz battle the communique
reports successes along the entire
center and sou i;-rn fronts.

Telephones To

New York, Sept. 2. Telephonic
communication between America
and Europe is one of the amazing
possibilities of the near future and
American initiative, culminating
In the signing of a contract by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company and the General Electric
company, bids fair to accomplish
this new miracle of the century.
If it comes to pass, communica
tion may be had with ships at sea
by means of the ordinary desk
telephone ra.dio experts say. Con
versations by different parties also
may be carried on over a single
telephone wire, without any inter
ference one with the other The
two companies to the agreement,
which has just been announced,
have experimented along this line
with surprisingly successful results
It has been demonstrated that
the human voice can be transfer
red automatically from a land line
telephone to a wireless telephone
service at a radio exchange. This
is done through development of the
amplifying valves that increase
thousands of times the volume of
sound from the original voice.
Patents held by both companies
will now be merged for the fulfill
ment of this ambitious scherne to
eliminate distance as an obstacle
to the transmission of the voice.
Republicans of
"Oregon Raised
$20,000 Alone
Portland, Or., Sept. 2. Oregon
republicans have raised and sent
east a campaign fund of approxi-,
mately $20,000, according to a state
ment made here by Thomas H.
Tongue Jr., chairman of the repub
lican state central committee. The
monev was sent to republican na
tional headquarters, it was stated.
Chairman Tongue said that he was
unable to account for the statement

Marion-Polk
Span In Danger
Says Engineer
That the central or pony truss
of the Marion-Polk inter-county
bridge should be braced and to a
certain extent redesigned is the sub
stance of a report submited Thurs
day to the Marion county court aft
er an inspection survey by the state
highway department through the
bridge division. Should repairs be
neglected, this portion of the struc
ture may collapse, the report says.
A recent inspection under direc
tion of Bridge Enginer C. B. McCul
lough reevaled an unstable brac
ings and anchorage of the central
span. Abnormal traffic demands
due especially to overloaded trucks
and grouping of vehicles while
crossing the bridge Is given as one
of the causes for necessary repairs.
The remaining spans and ap
proaches are reported to be in first
class repair.

By Ward A. Irvine.
There is a possibility that Gov

Portland. It has ben definitely de
cided that the presidential nomi
nee will speak in Portland Monday
noon, September 13th, and plans
are under consideration for ad
dresses at Eugene and Salem in
the morning. Final plans are await
ing the return of Dr. C. J. Smith,
state chairman, to his office Fri
day. Governor Cox arrives in Portland
Sunday morning, and if the Eugene
and Salem speeches are included In
his itinerary in Oregon he will go
to Eugene Sunday night, speak
there early Monday morning, ane

With the advent of Governor Cox
to this state, his Oreiron backers
are predicting still more desertions Pol.oemen whoh ave lost their Uvea

say that beyond question desertions

so widespread so early in the cam

standard. Many democrats desert
ed Alton B. Parker for Roosevelt
in 1904, but the movement was not

showed a unanimous sentiment for
Cox.
Wedding: Pnrty "Votes."
The question of politics arose at
recent wedding in Portland.
Those present were for the most
part registered as republicans. Ev
ery person present was a Cox sup
porter. Four brothers of Columbia
county, all republicans, have left
Harding for Cox. They have al
wavs voted the republican ticket.
Another republican who recently
polled a heavy vote for a public
office in Multnomah county was
asked what he thought of Hard
ing's prospects.
"I don't know," was the reply.
I am not much interested. I am
going to vote for Cox."
Various reasons are assignea ror
the desertions. predominant among
them is the progressive record 0f
Cox and the reactionary stand of
Harding. Oregon is a progressive
state. She was the pioneer in mucn
of the progressive legislation adopt
ed throughout the nation. And the
rank and file of the republican par
ty is progressive. It is the forward
loking republicans that are desert
ing to Cox. The reatcionaries are
steadfast in their devotion to the
Ohio senator.
Farmers Oppose Harding.
Many of the desertions are
chargeable to the opposition oi
Hardinsr to the league of nations.
Others oppose the syndicated presi
dency. Others react against the
hymn of hate. Still others shy at
a purchased presidency, fearing the
union of government and big busi
ness, tne comoine mat u
so effectively suppressed the pro
ducers and workers of the nation.
The ereatest numDer oi aesei-
tlons are in the ranks of farmers
and working men. The farmers re-

Can't Sell Half a
Dog Says Judge
New York, Sept. 2. "How
can he steal a dog when he owns
half of it?" said Judge Collins in
the children's court, Brooklyn,
when he dismissed the case
against Raphael Unger, 15, of
289 Wyona street, that borough.
Young Unger had been
brought into court on complaint
of Harry Kopp, a builder, father
of Raphael's former chum. The
two lads had a quarrel and in
parting a dog owned equally by
the boys followed Raphael
home. Soon after Kopp appear
ed at the Unger home and de
manded the animal. Young Un
ger claimed ownership. Both
lads had obtained licenses for
the dog.
Effort to Bleed
Office Holders
Flatly Dfcni$d
Chicago, Sept. 2. Wilbur W.
Marsh, democratic national treas
urer, denied before the senate com
mittee today that special efforts
had been made to get contributions
from federal office holders,
i "Never since I have been treas
urer has any letter asking money
been sent to a federal official, as
such," he said.
"You mean with your sanct

"With or without."
"Do you want to say that?"
"Yes."
Senator Kenyon then read a let

rector under Mr. Marsh asking for
lists of names of possible campaign
contributors and specifying that
any who held federal posts should
be so designated.

Counties May Share Cost
The highway department offers
to provide supervision of the pro

two counties the total costs. This
would leave $2175 to be assumed
between Marion and Polk counties.
As an existing agreement provides
that Marion county is responsible

Polk county will be asked to con-,

Must Wait Until Next Tuesday; Poindext
Admits Even $4,800,000 Too Much MtiMg
To Spend on Election
Chicago, Sept. 2. The senate committee investigsHH'
campaign expenditures adjourned shortly after noon withottf
having heard E. H. Moore of Ohio, Governor Cox'g
representative. Chairman Kenyon announced that the
mittee would meet in Chicago next Tuesday, September 7, tm
hear Moore and other witnesses.
Senator Kenyon said the decision I statute limiting campaign i ipiuil '
to recess until Tuesday was reach-! of n senatorial candidate to S1V-
ed to permit several members of
the committee to keep engagements
elsewhere Saturday and Labor day.
Mr. Moore, who was present
throughout the session, was re
quested to come back Tuesday with
the evidence of an alleged republi
can plan to raise $15,000,00.
Monro Has Proof. I
Mr. Moore told newspapermen
that he was prepared to prove that
the republican ieaders announced
publicly last January that they ex
pected to raise a '$16,000,000 cam
paign fund.
"They have changed Lincoln's
aphorism from 'a, government by
the people' to 'government buy the1
people, Mr. Moore said.
Miles J. Poindexter of Washing
ton, recent candidate for the re
publican presidential nomination
and chairman of the republican
senatorial committee, told the in
vestigators today that the $3000
which his committee" sent E. O.
Weller, republican candidate for
the senate from Marland, was not
an example of the general practice
of the committee.
"Ther'e Is no fixed rule or sys
tem by which candidates are help
ed." explained Senator Poindexter.
"We supply funds for campaign ac
tivities upon which we have agreed
with the candidate or his campaign
organization."
Little Money Raised.
Senator Kenyon brought out that
the senatorial committee had an
arrangement by which the former's
maximum campaign fund of $2.00,
000 was guaranteed by the national
committee. In return all. moneys
collected by the senatorial commit
tee are turned back to the party's
national treasury, Senator Poindex
ter said. He added that Senator
Frellnghuysen is chairman of a sub
committee in charge of collecting
funds and that he in turn had or
ganized an auxiliary committee
headed by Elliott Wadsworth of
NewYork.
"They have not raised any mon
ey to speak of," said Senator Poin
dexter, and Senator Reed of the in

ed this with the remark "not yet.'

"It was fairly reasonable
as the purposes of our coma

He agreed with Senator Poa

Senators Reed and riilnilmlaj

"That is too large in my personal

Marlon, Ohio, Sept. 2. Putting
his political creed into the ver
nacular of baseball, Senator Hard
ing delivered a front porch speech
today to the players of the Chicago
National league club appealing for
better team work by the American
nation "on the home grounds un
der the rules."
Many issues, including the
League of Nations, one-man gov
ernment, preparedness and pro
gressivism were touched on by
Senator Harding in dclaring his
lov for the great American game.
The club players had come to
Marion to play a special exhibition
game late in the day as a personal
compliment to the nominee.
In another speech, delivered to
a committee representing several
associations of teachers, the sen
ator said the low compensation lf
teachers had brought on "a crisis"
in education and pledged himself
to do everything in his power to
secure better pay for the profes
sion. Saluting the baseball players
simply as "Cubs" Senator Harding
plunged directly into his discourse
on political Issues as analogous to
the problems of the diamond.
"I pay t oyou," he said, "my
tribute to baseball, because I like
the game Just like every other real
American. It has been in the blood
for over a half centurw and It has
helped us a a people.
