Stanfield Is
Oregon's Hope
Senator Says
Declaring that only by ynafntain
Ing the present republican majority
in the United States senate can the
senatorial lethargy now existing,
be eliminated, Senator H. Piles of
Seattle, asasiled the Wilson admin
istration and attacked Senator
George E. Chamberlain in an ad
dress at the Salem armory Wed
nesday night.
The speaker minimized the cf.
facacy of the league of nations,
contending that the "court of jus
tice" plan offers a solution of the
problems involved In efforts to pre
serve international peace.
An audience of about 2!0 per
sons heard the speaker's laudatory
survey of the candidacy of Robert
N. Stanfield for election to the
United States senate. Senator Piles
conrtsated the present democratic
administration and its accomplish
ments with records made by re
publican administrations, asserting
that G. O. P. rule was always con
structive.
"Even with a republican presw
dent how are we going to put these
sound republican policies into ef
fect?" asked the speaker , "We
must elect only republicans to the
senate. In Oregon, it can be done
only by electing Robert N, Stan,
field."
Senator Piles declared that final
results from the south will be a
shock and a surprise to democratic
henchmen and asserted that a re
publican landslide would carry
Warren (I. Harding into the presi
dential chair.
Tinning his attention to present
costs of necessities, the Washing
ton senator charged that existing
high prices can only be blamed
upon the democratic administra
tion. In connection with this
charge, the senator said that the
administration had failed to look
Into the future and make immense
purchases in order to control prices
of commodities.
Because of this lack of foresight,
sugar and other products have fal
len Into the hands of profiteers,
Senator piles said.

Hoover Urges
Regulation of
Trade Boards
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 14. Control
of boards of trade to prevent price
speculation in farm products was
advocated by Herbert Hoover, to
day at a conference of heads of
Kansas farm organizations, bank
ers, grainmen and business men
here.
.... hAmovAi. main
tained that boards of trade hav
as important a part to maintain in
! the economic life of the nation as
have banks and that the regula
tion should be under legal regula
tions similar to those applied to
banks, in particular, that manipu
iminn of Drices should be elimin
ated by limiting the volume of
trade to the amounts of grain
I available and to the respective
needs of the purchasers.
I The cooperative marketing move
! ment was indorsed by Mr. Hoover.
If a national market could be
I established to compel free, open
j trading on hedging contracts, with
prices for future delivery fixed for
J six months or a year in advance,
, the effect would be to stabilize
prices, subject only to world-wide
I conditions, Mr. Hoover, said. The
j farmer then would have no object
i in holding his grain for higher
prices, he said.
