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. P, A.
fiasco of bygone years lined un
immediately with thn new n-sm-
Jiiation, it might be said that the

Hut the klan went, farther, it
made capital of the an tt-Jewish
sentiment incident to the strong
hold which the Jews have on Port
land in a business and commercial
way, wild stories to the effect that

that it was under Callaway's direc

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."
SALEM HOSPITAL

similar institutions in large cities.
Rapid progress is being made in

The automatic electric unlocking
door device with self-closing
doors and safety appliances is
being placed. It is the hope of
the directors that the work of
finishing the first unit of this
greatly needed Institution will be
rapidly accomplished.

OVATION GIVEN
Primes Go Up as
In Eastern Markets
With export inquiry reviving
and domestie wholesale dealers in
the east unable to get delivery on
orders placed and seeking to ex
tend their purchases the dried
prune market in this section of the
country has taken on renewed
strength during the past two
weeks, but real activity has been
prevented by the refusal of grow
ers to sell.
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.
The packing plants of both of
the associations are swamped and
no new bookings are being made
until it Is possible to determine
even approximate date3 of possi
ble shipment.

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. Eight and a quarter cents
is the prevailing price in and
around Salem no new transactions
reported.
At Dallas three or four lots of
50-553 have been sold this week at
7 cents, and 8 cents is being offer
ed for 40-503. Epecially choice
lots have brought bids of 8 to
8 cents. Some hill prunes, 60
65 s, are moving at 5 cents lto this
part of the valley.
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.

BONARLf
DISSOLUTION
Rapid Progress in Selec
tion of Ministry Like
ly to Call General Elec
tion at Once.
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.

Constantinople, Oct. ; 20. (By

smoothed out the wrinkles in his
tunic, gazed at the card In a pom

"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.
Speaking in an interview of the
future position of Turkey, Rafet
Pasha earn:
"We know we have one of the
biggest armies in the world and
we are today the most powerful
military nation. We have achieved
