Taussig To
Cast Ballot
For League
Cambridce. Mass., Oct. 28 Prof.
F. W. Taussig, head of the depart
ment of economics of Harvard uni
versity, and one of the leading eco.
nomists of the country, announced
today, in a public statement on the
presidential campaign that he ex
pects to vote for Cox for presi
dent. He declared Senator Hard
ing had no policy and no leadership
and denounced as "campaign clap
trap the talk of republican lead
ers about "Americanism and pre
serving the independence of the
United States." .
"I am in favor," Professor Taus
sig's tsutement reads, "of the coun
try joining the league whole-heart,
edly and working cordially for its
maintenance and improvement.
Senator Harding has blown hot and
cold, has no policy and no leader
ship, promises all things to all men,
is coiu'orned, like most of his asso
ciates, mainly in getting into office."

this year matted the application i

Claiming Clause Call
For Suurrender of
Sovereignty
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 28 A de
mand that Governor Cox "frankly
repudiate the obligation which arti
cle 10 of the league of nations'
would impose upon the United
States" was made in an address
here today, before the Columbia
club by Charles E. Hughes. i
The speaker, after a detailed
analysis of the article, declared It
would obligate the United States to '
"underwrite the territorial delimi
tations of the Versailles treaty,
whether good or bud."' He said
there was no necessity for "clarify
ing" the article, as proposed bv the
democratic presidential candidate.
EHmtaation Demanded.
"The only thing that will reas.
sure the American people is to elim
inate it," said Hughes.
The-speaker cited the democratic
platform and Governor Cox's con
ference with President Wilson soon
after his nomination, in an effort to
show that the president and Gov
ernor Cox stood together on article
10.
"Governor Cox now says he is
willing to accept reservation that
will clarify or will be helpful that
will reassure the American peopre,"
said Mr. 11 ughes. "Does the can
didate expect to escape with such
banalities? What will 'clarify or
'reassure?'
"There is no necessity to 'clarify'
if the obligation is retained and the
one thing that will 'help' or 're
assure' and retaining article 10 at
the same time, but will he frankly
repudiate the obligation which this
article seeks to impose?"
Mr. Hughes asserted that Amer
ica desires "an association of, na
tions" which would dispose of con
troveries "according to law and not
expediency."
Hendricks May
Coach Locals;
Egbert Ousted
"Tubby" Hendricks will tonight
assume his duties as temporary
mnntnr of the Salem Hirrh school
eleven in an effort to round the
boys into shape for their clash
with Jefferson Hicrh here next
Saturday, and it is possible that
the Salem man may be engaged as
coach for the remainder of the
season.
This became known this morning
fnllnwin the announcement of
George Hug, superintendent of
schools, that Virgil Egbert, wno
has been coaching the red and
black eleven, has been asked to
lonve the local school. It is under
stood that Egbert will comply with
the request.
In case Hndricks does not
continue as coach of the local
school, it is probable that an at-tem-,t
will he made to secure the
services of Everett Brandedberg.

of Oregon team who is unable to

Hopes that Hendricks will take

of the Salem team. Hendricks Is

and is well liked by the players. He
is at present undecided as to wheth

Hug said.
With material which is, unques
tionably of the championship Var
iety, the Salem team is at present
time somewhat demoralized. Last
night the men were put through
their paces by Mr. Hug who ad-j
milted that they are in poor Map.

Skiff Flays Stanfield
As Wool Hoarder
And War Profiteer
(From the Portland Telegram,
(Republican,) May 2, 1918).
Since the United States entered
the war R. N. Stanfield. republican
candidate for United States sena
tor, has "cleared a cool million"
by "hoarding" his wool clip, ac
cording to a statement given the
press today by Dr. Mark S. Skiff,
a prominent Salem citizen, who has
been probing into the eastern
Oregon sheep king's wool opera- j
tions.
Mr. Stanfield's much-heralded'
offer of his wool clip to the gov
ernment Is also declared by Dr.
Skiff to have been "but a cold
blooded business tender" to his
country, and pronounces his at
tempe to convert it into a patriotic
act "an Insult to the intelligence
of the people, and offensive to all
sincere patriotic citizens."
Further he asserts that "for
lavish expenditures of money" the
Stanfield campaign for United
States senator "surpasses any poli
tical campaign waged In Oregon
since the halcyon days when the
millionaire corporations and the
political bosses ruled Oregon poli
tics," and says the peonle should
rebuke Mr. Stanfield and his
"wealthy friends" by defeating him
in the primaries "with an ava
lanche of votes."

"Making a virtue out of necessi

he had offered to the government,
at the then prevailing market
price, the balance of the six mil
lion Rounds of wool which he had
been hoarding in a Portland ware
house since the beginning of tne
war," says Mr. Skiff.
"I say he made a virtue out of

Dayton, Ohio. Oct. 28. Another
statement charging the Saturday
Evening Post, and its editor George
Horace Lorimer, with unfair parti
sanship was issued today by Gover
nor Cox of Ohio, democratic presi.
dential candidate.
"The insidious purpose of the
Saturday Evening Post, cloaked
under non partisan methods for
the past decade and more, has fi
nally been brought to light," Gov
ernor Cox declared, stating that it
had made misstaernents only four
days before electiim when it was
impossible to correct them.
That the Curtis Publishing com
pany had been found guilty by the
federal trade commission of violat
ing the anti-trust laws by unfair
practices in dlst; ibu'.ing its periodi
cal was asserted by Governor Cox,
declaring that ' big' business" was
opposed to him because he would
give it a "square deal and nothing
more."
The governor's statement fol
lows: "When early in the week I called
attention to the guerilla tactics of
the Saturday Evening Post on the
basis of its last minute attack on
me, the response of Mr. Lorimer,
its editor, was that my action was
unethical. I am perfectly willing
to leave the decision on ethics to
the voters of America, many of
whom have been life time readers
of the Saturday Evening Post and
who from the time of ' its origin
have looked upon it a household
journal, to which they rendered de
votion because it took no part in
patrisan campaigns. The question
of ethics would seem to lie In what
Ame.ica has learned to look upon
as a quare deal and when a non
partisan journal becomes partisan
in its very last issue four days be
'ore an election at a time when it
is impossible for mis-statements to
be corrected and deceit to be met
it would seem to lr licat.- a very
deep seated selfish interest based
upon some purpose which could
scarcely be called utraight-forward
and honest. No man who repre-
sents a just cause has any objec
j tion to presenting both sides of the
I case.
I "In my statement I charged ul
i terlor interests. Since Mr. Lorimer
' has seen fit to reply simply In a
way that raises the question of
ethics. I would like to direct to him
'the plain question: 'Is his interest
iln this election which brings the
unusual act of partisan support
! from his paper based upon the de
; sire for a return to 'normalcy' un
der which his publication sought to
j prosper by unfair methods? Is it
because the Curtis Publishing com
pany was found guilty of the use
of unfair and illegal methods of
competition and of violation of the
anti-trust law prohibiting use of
certain tying.end' contractsa nd of
violation of the federal trade com
mission ruling? The complaint In
each case was based upon the fact
that the Curtis Publishing company
made contracts with wholesale dis
tributors which prevented them
from handling other publications
without permission from the Curtis
1'ubllfhing company and which
prohibited the sale of all competing
publications. The plan of the Cur
tis Publishing company was with
the Intent and had the effect of
largely Increasing circulation of
Curtis' publications and unfairly
decreasing circulation of competing
publications to the end that the
Curtis Publication company would
derive large advertising rates by
reason of tremendous circulation.
These unfair practices prevented
competing publishers from obtain
ing distribution of their publica
tions through the ordinary distri
buting channels and forced them
to distribute through channel:
which did not have any facilities
for a wide distribution, proof of
these unlawful practices was found
by the federal trade commission
after extensive hearings on July 21,
1919, and the Curtis Publishing
company was forced to cease and
desist."
