Newspaper For N early F ifty Years Wir* Servios) ■ NDAY, OCT, 18, 1926 That The People May Know Campaign B eing Marked by Much B itterness Center - • ing Around Stanfield DEMOCRATS REJOICING Hope That Three Cornered Race W ill Result in Victory for PO RTLAND, Ore., Oct. 18.— (U P )— The old tim e democratic trick of splitting the opposition party is being attempted in Ore­ gon and through it democrata hope to elevate Bert E. Haney, former shipping board commis­ sioner, to the United States sen­ ate. As Oregon is overwhelmingly republican, mueh bitterness has been engendered and It centers around the robust figure of Sen­ ator Robert N. Stanfield who caused the trouble within his party by becoming an Independ­ ent candidate for the senate after Frederick Stafprer had defeated him for the republican nomina­ tion in the May primary. Singing a song of "freedom from dictatorship,” Stanfield is stumping the state, charging that an alleged “whispering cam­ paign” against him was "u n fair” , and asking that he be returned to the senate In order to com­ plete his legislative program. Steiwer, a - forceful young at­ torney from Pendleton, and a colonel in France during the war has replied by charging that Stanfield ,1s a traito r to his party and a foe of the' direct primary system because he refused to abide by Its decision. Meanwhile democrata ate Jub­ ila n t over the opposition’s d lv ti- ion of strength *j»d, so republi­ cans charge, are giving Stanfield under cover encouragement In the hope that Haney w ill reap the rewards of faction strife. As lo r Haney himself, he has remained apart from the Issue created by Stanfield, and is m a t­ ing a strenuous campaign of the state, giving the McNary-Hnugen farm relief bill unqualified en­ dorsement, an<^ advocating the establishment of an American Merchant Marine. Another eleventh Tiour entry is W . P. Adams, an Independent wet, but mention of his candidaoy is lost In the echo of the greater three-cornered battle. A few pro­ test votes will go to him but ev­ ent wets admit that to be the ex­ tent of his strength. An interesting feature in Ore­ gon is that Senator Charles Mc­ Nary, co-author of the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill and a member of the republican sena­ torial election committee, is re­ maining apart from the bitter battle in his home state. He is scheduled to speak in behalf of republican candidates fo r nation­ al office In every western and In­ ter-mountain state where there is a contest, with the exception of Oregon. One of the most important measures to come up on the local November ballot will be the request for authority to issue bonds to the amount of .$8000, .to provide more adequate fire protection. The present fire truck has been in existence for thirteen years. During that time it has done valiant service in protecting the homes and build- pigs of Ashland Residents, but like everything else mechanical, it has suffered the ills attendant to old age, and, now stands as a fitting monument to the early days of fire fighting equipment. , The proposal, according to members of the council, if passed upoiV favofably by the people will allow the purchase of a modern up*to-date, hill climbing, chemical and hose wagon, and 1200 feet of new hose, as well as provide funds for the repairing of the present equipment in order that there may always be a machine in reserve. The present hose equipment consists of about 1000 feet of good hose, the balance amounting to 700 feet being from nine to thirteen years old, an amount that, would prove to be wholly inadequate should this city have the ipisfortuUe to suffer a disastrous fire, such as has visited some of our neighboring cities during the past few weeks. From a strictly business standpoint it has been pointed out that the interset on the cost of the new equipment will not exceed the amount of money now being spent on keeping the present equipment in repair and there would he the addi­ tional safety feature that cannot be computed in terms of dollars and cents. In addition to this, it is a known fact that insurance rates would take a marked downward trend with the additional equip­ ment installed. This would be more marked how­ ever if the general water bonds are received favor­ ably by the people. ? - The full extent of the danger attached to th e' * present equipment can be realized when it is known that for three days recently the old relic that reposes so majestically in the fire dpartment quarters, gave in to its many aches and pains, and while Fire Chief Baughman was frantically searching for new parts, the city of Ashland was entirely without protection except for an ordinary truck and a few hundred feet of hose for three days. The machine has been out so long that every time it is necessary to make repairs, those in charge find it exceedingly difficult to locate the necessary parts. The time refered to above the Fire Chief had to make a special trip to Portland and search the city over before his efforts were rewarded. One disastrous fire, would pay many times over the cost of the new equipment, and there is little question that when this portion of the ballot is fully understood there will be an overwhelming majority cast to give Ashland the fire protection it so badly needs. ...........— Three Are Held By Local Police Maroni Olsen Players Please Many in Their Interpre­ tation of Modern P lay (Please Tnrn to Page 3) ASHLAND TIDINGS LETTER CONTEST Following are the rules for ths letter w riting contest.
