"A betrayal by the legislature of the forces that carried
the late election in Oregon is incubating" tearfully waila the
Portland Journal which is champion of journalistic weepers
"The first step proposed is to elect the president and con
trol the organization of the,senate" it continues
Will the Journal kindly explain what the "forces are that'
carried the late election?" When this is explained, we can
judge better regarding the crime in incubation.
The Ku Klux Klan claims that it carried the election. Is
the Journal afraid that the klan, whose existence it has never
officially discovered, is to be cheated out of its fruits of
victory namely spoils, by a wicked republican senate?
The federated "patriotic" societies outside the 100 percent
patriotic klan, of whose existence, the Journal has remained
in ignorance, also claims credit for winning the election.
Does the Journal mean' that the dispised and rejected
republicans are going to keep these patriots out of office ?
Leaders of the Grange and of the Farm Bureau and of
other organizations who make an easy living by farming
the farmer, also assert that they won the election by deliv
ering the farmers' vote. Is it possible that those sneaking
senators are going to swipe the jobs these farmer-farmers
have promised themselves ?

MODIFY DRY
LAW LAUNCHED
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 20. (By
Associated Press.) Stepa to or
ganize the wet forces In every
state to obtain modification of
the Volstead act were discussed at
a two-day meeting of the National
Association Opposed to the Prohi
bition Amendment, which began
here today.
Predictions were made by dele
gates that the liquor question
probably would be the principal
issue of the 1924 presidential elec
tion as a result of claims being
made that the wets won a sweep
ing victory in the recent general
election.
Denial that a third major party
favoring amendment o the Vol
stead law was planned, was made
by delegates who said that wet
candidates of either the republi
can and democratic parties would
be supported, and that where can
didates ot both major parties were
i'ound not suitable, an independ
ent nominee would be supported
oy the association.
William L. Fish, who assisted
n the election of Governor Ed
wards of New Jersey to the Uni
ted States senate on a light wine
iud beer platform, emphasized
that the prohibition question
would be the principal issue in the
next general election.
People all over the country are
clamoring tor a chance to express
hemselves on the prohibition
juestion," he said.
country, with the exception of Ire
land. Finland received 250,000
oounds. England has bought
5,000,000 pounds so far this sea
eon and Germany, 250,000 pounds.
However, Germany Is buying
small-sized prunes this year most
ly from southern Europe.
Holland is also a good customer
for Oregon prunes, according to
Mr. Paulus. This' country will re
ceive 500,000 pounds. The French
will consume 1,000,000 pounds
and the Scandinavian countries
750,000 pounds.
Every large city in Canada Is
a shipping point for Orcgvn
prunes this season. In the United
States the association will ship to
83 cities, buying in car lots.
Small Sizes Sole.
Due to the extremely hot weath
er early in September the Ore
gon crop of prunes will run fully
90 per cent 40-503 and 50-60s in
size. The temperature stood at
108 during the September hot
period in Douglas county and 101
In Marion county.
Mr. Paulus is of the opinion
that the price for the unsold por
tion of the prune crop will de
pend upon how soon the consum
ing public clear the shelves ot re
tailers. Also upon the big propo
sition of deliveries, all of which
are now slow on account of the
general, buyers in Salem are In
car shortage.
Taking the prune market in

able view of the situation, with
the entire crop at present 75 per
cent sold.
PRUNE PRICES ADVANCE
(Continued from Page One.)
he present crop Is In growers
aands or stored by Independent
packers awaiting a market. The
present slowness in the prune
market Mr. Jenks attributes to
jlow deliveries and the general
shortage of cars.
However, Mr. Jenks says that
prunes are going last into con
sumption as soon as received in
he eastern markets. He looks for
4 strong prune market and a con
tinued demand. This is due, he
jays, to the shortage of the Cali
fornia crop which fell about 20,
J0O.OOO pounds below early esti
mates and to the general demand
throughout the country tor the
larger Oregon prunes.
R. C. Paulus, manager of the
Oregon Growers Cooperative asso
ciation, places an estimate ot 52,
000,000 pounds for this year's
prune crop in the northwest,
which includes Clarke county,
Washington.
Association Sales Large
About 50 per cent of this crop
is controlled by the association,
almost all of which has been sold.
To be exact, Mr. Paulus says that
the association has sold 19,000,
000 pounds of dried prunes and a
tonnage of green prunes and
prunes for canning that is equiva-'
lent to 500,000, dried prunes.
The association's books show
receipts of 20,000,000 pounds. The
halt a million pounds owned by
the Association and unsold will
be delivered to the market in
small quantities, Mr. Paulus says.
Last year the Oregon Growers
handled 7,500,000 pounds, com
pared to the 20,000,000 to be dis
posed of this year.
Export Sales Large.
The association has shipped this
year, prunes to every European
