IT! illTTl cTTY FORTY-FOURTH : YEAR . NO. 250. Prejudice Against Catholics and Jewish Merchants First Plea Capitalized by Klansmen . Organizing Knights of Knightie and Pillowcase In Portland J5y Harry N. Crain. g0 paramount has been the po litical activity of the Ku Klux Klau in Fortland, and so cosmo politan has become its membership that the public generally has lost sight of the origin of the move ment there in the maze of issues championed and capitalized by the Kluxers in their campaign for po litical power. Judging from the diversity of uses to which the hooded organization has been put it is not entirely improbable that Fred L, Gilford, George Branded berg and other leaders in the movement have themselves allow ed their original vision to become obscured by the possibilities of more extensive and, therefore, more remunerative operations. Came of Own Accord. Thn klan in Portland, unflkfl the nreanization in most other Oree-on communities, was not brought in by designing local influences for a specific purpose it came In of its own free accord as a part of a nation-wide drive for members and more graft by Imperial Wiz ard Simmons and his cohorts. L B. Callaway, wandering kleagle, is credited with organizing the Portland klan. Callaway had no visions of maiding up a political machine in Oregon. He was interested simnly in fleecing gulliable persons ot anti-Catholic, anti-alien and anti- jewisn prejudices out of donations. The marked success of his early work was due nrineinal- ly to the hold he secured in the Federated Patriotic Societies, com prising most ot the anti-Catholic iraternai orders, Including the Orange lodge. To the extent that all of the survivors of the A.

On the outskirts of the town Japanese troops ahd red forces of the advancing Far Eastern Ire' public army are reported to have clashed' ' . . The original plan of the Japa nese was to turn over the admin' letration of Vladivostok to the municipal government and to hold the reds outside the neutral zone until evacuation was complete.

LLOYD GEORGE BY LONDONERS London, Oct. 20.-Mr. Lloyd- George received one of the-'most remarkable ovations ever witness ed in the guild hall this afternoon when he rose to propose the health of the prince of Wales, who was guest of the corporation , of the city at luncheon. For several minutes it was impossible for Mr. Lloyd-George to proceed and he was visibly affected. In the early part of his speech the little Welshman was nervous, an unwonted condition for him but he soon regained the mastery of himself. He avoided reference to the political situation. "My sword is in my hand," was the keynote of the farewell of Mr. Lloyd-George to the great throng which gathered at St. Pancras sta tion to give him an enthusiastic send off as he left for Leeds today to deliver an address tomorrow. "I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you have come here, this great assemblage to cheer me on my pilgrimage," he said. ''I am a free man. The bur den is off my shoulders, but my sword is in my hand."

Already the market here has strengthened from to a cent and there is every indication that it will go still kigher. The sud den determined activity of the buyers is one never-falling indica tion of an advance and there are many other factors in the situa tion which forecast greater strength. . Both the Oregon Growers Coop erative association and the Cali fornia association are now out of the selling market and are insist ent bidders for the crops of the independent growers. The Oregon association has announced that it will be necessary for it to prorate on 30s, because they are admitted ly oversold on this size, and says that grading lot its first 5,000,000 pounds shows only 1 per-cent of 30s. -. Its growers also' report al most a complete absence of 70s, 80s and 90s.

SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, which remained discreetly silent during the first reports of dam ages to the prunes In that state during the drying season, now makes the admission that the Cali fornia crop will be 10 per cent short. Other sources place the shortage at as high as 25 per cent. California is also short of the small sizes and the few lots mar keted lately have brought the growers an- average advance of about of a cent over previous offerings. What ia probably the strongest indication of an advance is the. an nouncement of the California as sociation that it believes "fully 75 per cent of the 1922. prune prop has been sold into the hands of the Jobbing trade." They pre dict a material advance in the price. ' ' - Locally the market has not re acted to any considerable extent to the advances offered by the brok ers. A few small lots were report ed sold early in the week at 2 cents but, so far as can be learn ed this bid has disappeared com pletely.

It is the duty of every repub lican in Oregon to support the re publican ticket on November 7 to assist, rather than hinder, President Harding in solving dif ficult problems which loom be fore the administration. Above all, the voters of Oregon should return Ben Olcott as governor of the state of Oregon. So declared Senator Charles McNary this af ternoon. Senator McNary arrived In Sa lem last night. He will be here for a short time before beginning a stumping tour of the state. "Originally my plan was to re main in Washington and complete some important hearings pending before two senate committees, but when I was requested by Walter Tooze, chairman of the republi can state central committee, to come home and tender my serv ices to the committee, I felt that I should comply with the re quest," Senator McNary said. shall return after the election and complete the committee work prior to the regular session of con gress." Governor Olcott's - administra tion has been of such a character as to justify his reelection. Sena tor McNary, feels. "I am exceedingly anxious to have the state endorse the Hard ing administration by electing tha state and congressional candi dates," he said. "I feel sure that a defeat anywhere along the lino might prove an embarrassment to the administration." President Harding, he explain ed, has a stupendous task before him a task that has begun to show upon his face. "He is work ing under the great pressure to bring about normal conditions and should have the support or all who believe in the policies of the republican party," Senator Mc Nary said. The administration, working through congress, has effected many economies, and passed much helpful legislation. Senator Mc Nary declared. Portland, Ore., Oct. 20. Wal ter P.

London, Oct. 20. (By Associat ed Press.) Premier Designate Bonar Law, in a message to the newspapers this afternoon says: "If I am elected the leader of the conservative party I may be in a position to advise the king to order Immediately the dissolution of parliament. This would give plenty of time to get the Irish home rule bill through." London, Oct. 20. (By Associat ed Press.) Andrew Bonar Law appeared to be making rapid pro gress today in forming a cabinet to replace the fallen coalition gov ernment. . " This was evidenced by the an nouncement that Marquis Curzon and the earl of Derby, both men of influence of experienced cabi net ministers, have agreed to serve under him in any capacity. Mr. Bonar Law cannot officially announce the formation of his ministry until he is elected head of the unionist party to succeed Austen Chamberlain but it is gen erally conceded that this election will be only a formality. Plenty of Timber. Although the split in the union ist ranks has deprived him of such cabinet material as Mr. Chamber lain, Lord Birkenhead, the earl of Balfour and some lesser lights, po litical experts believe Mr. Bonar Law will find plenty of timber among the younger members of the party who have shown promise in the political field and are mark ed for advancement at a favorable moment. The conservative party organiz ers were busy today arranging the meeting at which a leader will be elected to succeed Austen Cham berlain. It is understood that the Carlton club, which yesterday saw the deposition of the old leader, will be the scene of the choice of his successor. The election of Andrew Bonar Law is a foregone conclusion, and as the party's vote has been reg istered he will be in a position to begin formation of a cabinet to succeed the resigned Lloyd-George ministry. - It is believed "in conservative quarters that the cabinet will be completed before the end of next week. Prominence is given to a story that Lloyd-George proposes to form a center party with Mr. Chambering and the leaamg coalition unionists, it being insin uated that this connotes important opposition to the regular conserv atives. Others scout this as whol ly groundless, declaring Mr. Chamberlain and his followers will make no attempt to obstruct Mr. Bonar Law in his work. Meanwhile Mr, Lloyd-George, bereft of his rank as prime min ister, but still giving evidences of retaining to the full the indomit able courage and fighting spirit which has characterized his 30 odd years of political life, was making his way today along the first stage of his trek "into the wilderness" with those of his com rades who 'had remained faithful to his leadership. It was certain that he would prove to be a difficult opponent in the coming battles, as there are admittedly few men in the country who possess such mastery of the art of politics as he. The unionists, the liberals' and the laborites alike were conferring and working intensely In an at tempt to solve the problem con fronting them. Former Premier Asqulth, who was in the country when he heard of the collapse of the Lloyd - George government, rushed back today to confer with his colleagues as to what line the liberals should adopt, and other conferences were proceeding among the various party leaders. It Is declared in high political circles that .the government which Mr. Bonar Law has in view will be prepared to continue in all essen tial respects the work of the late ministry. The keynotes of his pro gram, it Is indicated, will be the strictest economy In Internal ad ministration and a. better under standing with the allies In Inter national affairs. , j ' Insurgent Captured Belfast, Oct. 20.

Fifty per cent of them were of the ''kidding" type, she said, but the other four were bona fide. She has not yet ac cepted any of them. N Constantinople, Oct. ; 20. (By Associated Press.) The sultan's government has been soundly snubbed by the first dignitary of the Turkish nationalist govern ment to arrive here since Musta- pha Kemal Pasha's army consoli dated the strength of the Angora government by its victory over the Greeks. Rafet Pasha, military governor of Thrace, upon his arrival at his Stamboul residence yesterday, found waiting there official repre sentatives from the grand vizier and the ministry of the interior. The representative sent In his card first, the stubby little general smoothed out the wrinkles in his tunic, gazed at the card In a pom pous, official manner and said: "Who is this person? I know of no grand vizier; there is no such office or official." Next came the envoy whose card Bald that he represented "Field Marshal All Riza Pasha, minister of the interior." Again Rafet assumed his official air. "I'm sure I don't know any such person," he again announced.
