Candidates Face
Club and Crowd
Of Over 200
An audience of over 300 gathered
tt the auditorium of the old high
school building lut night to hear
candidates for major office,
their authorized representatives,
declare themselves on public Issues
or answer questions put to them by
their listeners. The meeting was
sponsored by the Good Govern
ment club of Salem.
Fred W. Jobelmann, representing
the club, said its purpose was
earnest study of candidates and is
sues from a non-partisan point of
view.
Speaking in behalf of Willis Ma
honey, democratic candidate for
United States senator, William J.
Pender graff of Portland, had much
to say in praise of Senator McNary,
but declared the representation
should be balanced by a democra
tic colleague. Among principles
that Ma honey stands for were men
tioned coast defense, opposition to
foreign wars and support of the
Townsend pension plan.
Kenneth Randall, representing
Andrew C. Burk, democratic candi
date for congress, declared that
Burk was the first man in Marion
county to become Interested in the
Townsend plan. He spoke of Burk's
upbringing on a farm and his later
residence In Wyoming as a steel
worker and farmer, and ssid he
was qualified to represent any ele
ment except the Idle rich.
Kenneth Dal ton spoke for Earl
Snell, republican candidate for
secretary of state, and present
holder of that office. He described
Mr. Snell as a red tape cutter In
state business who saved the state
a great deal In time, money and
convenience by his direct method
of doing official business.
For Henry Hess, democratic can
didate for governor, Elton Watkins
of Portland was the speaker. He
said Hess had voted for all Town-
send memorials In the legislature
with one exception, and that was
when the pending bill in congress
. at that time was defective.
Rex Putnam, democratic state
school superintendent and candi
date for election to the office, was
represented by L. A. Wilcox, and
C. P. Hyde, democratic candidate
- for labor commissioner, by Avert
Thompson.

To the Editor: You printed under
date of Oct. 1$ a complete report of
the racketeer-roundup In the atate,
purportedly made by Ralph Moody
to Oov. Martin. The completeness
and authenticity of this report la
without question very interesting to
the people of the state of Oregon.
Interesting in the fact that on the
same date you editorially endorsed
an Initiative measure that would
mean the destruction of all organis
ed labor In the state.
If the report of Mr. Moody Is cor
rect, and without doubt It Is, It
only proves that there are enough
laws In the state to take care of
racketeering and corruption without
enactment of such a deceitful mea
sure as you endorsed. It further
proves that only laxity of the gover
nor's office and law enforcement ag
encles permitted racketeering to
exist The number of convictions
shown In the report shows that the
present laws are sufflcent If enforc
ed, which was not done until It could
be used for political purposes. It fur.
ther proves that a change Is needed
in our statehouse If we are to pre
vent the recurrence of racketeering.
Because he has marie the state
ment in one of his campaign ad
dresses that he would make no
change In state government, It goes
without saying that the democratic
people of the state of Oregon cannot
support the candidacy of Charles
Sprague for governor, and take
chances on law enforcement.
It seems to me that If the Capital
Journal Is Interested In clesning up
some of the grafting conditions now
prevalent In the state. In some other
organisations outside of labor, that
you should devote your time and
space to the candidacy of a man
who has proven by his past records
that he Is alert and capable. I apeak
of Henry L. Mess, the next governor
m me stat or Oregon.

Roaring Typhoon
Deals Death in Tokyo
Tokyo, Oct. 21 (P) A typhoon roared in from the sea
today, taking at least 226 lives and injuring more than 590
persons. About 230 persons were missing. The unseasonable
storm which lashed waters over-
land along the coastal reaches of
Japan in the Tokyo-Yokohama dis
trict and elsewhere rendered an es
timated 35,000 persons homeless.
More than 24,460 houses In
Tokyo were flooded and some col
lapsed. Thousands of trees were up
rooted and Tokyo's communications
and transportation were partly
paralyzed.
Tens of thousands of workers
were unable to reach places of em
ployment In the capital and most
schools were closed. The typhoon
also caused much damage at Yoko
hama. All sailings from that port
city were suspended.
Seven passenger ships scheduled
to arrive at Yokohama this morning
failed to dock.
The storm first struck the Kago-
shlrma district of Kyushu, south
westernmost main Island of Japan,
and a few hours later swept into
the Honshu mainland, hundreds of
miles to the northeast.
Reports from Kagoshlma prefec
ture said the area was devastated
and 2,368 houses had been washed
away.
About 20 fishing boats were miss
ing off Chosl and Chlbl prefecture.
The 5,138-ton British freighter Hat-1
terlock broke her moorings and ran
aground at Tsuruml, a suburb of
Tokyo. The Japanese freighter To-
ten Maru also snapped her moorings
and grounded.
The crews of both vessels were
believed safe.
The weather Improved shortly af
ter noon and the sun shone again
on a vista of wreckage. The storm
passed from Japan northeastward.
Andrews Says
Shut-Downs
Unfair to Act
Washington, Oct. 21 Elmer
F. Andrews, wage-hour administrs
tor, hit out today at Industries which
he said Intended to shut down Mon
day to avoid compliance with the
new fair labor standards act.
These suspensions of operations
seem to have been timed in an ef
fort to bring the law Into disrepute,
evidently, with the hope of Intimi
dating the age and hour division In,
Its administration of the law's pro
visions," Andrews said in a state
ment. "It must be plainly understood,
however, the fair labor standards act
la the law of the land, with severe
penalties for Its violation and the
wage and hour division has
choice but to carry out the will of
congress.
"In translating that will into ac
tion, the wage and hour division
will enforce the act uniformly and
compel lingly, with forbearance but
without partiality."
Andrews said millions of Amerl
cans welcomed the opportunity to
help "Inoculate our economic sys
tem against the virus of sweat
shops." "Unfortunately, however," he add
ed, "there Is a small and scattered
minority who apparently are unwill
ing or incapable of contributing to
the common good. These delin
quents, whose number and import
ance are magnified by their isola
tion, resort to subterfuge in an ef
fort to camouflage their selfishness
and blame the fair labor standards
act for their own anti-social conduct."
Hyde Park, N. Y., Oct. 21 (JP)
President Roosevelt was informed
today by Elmer Andrews, federal
wage-hour administrator, there had
been such a general disposition on
the part of employers to comply
with the wage-hour law It was
hoped intra -state Industries would
voluntarily accept the standards act
up for lnter-stat firms.
The president termed the report
very gratifying.
At the same time, he said at a
a press conference the action of the
last congress In delegating author
ity to revise and simplify federal
court procedure had resulted In
amazing success and was a method
that should be followed In reorgan
ising government departments.
Regarding the wage-hour law,
Mr. Roosevelt said while only Inter
state industries could legally come
under the law establishing mini
mum wages and maximum hours,
local concerns could voluntarily
adopt the standard.
The president also described as a
favorable business sign the action by
General Motors In re-employing 35,
000 furloughed workers and read
justing wage cuts.
