HALKM, Sopt. 12. It In n fnr cry
from A world'! series baseball tos
tUol In Chicago to a political cam
tialgn In Orogon, but nevertheless
tho twain hold much In common
Just now.
Thn big series wan lamentably
lacking In Interest, according to
Iircin report, becauso of (ho war
tlmo conditions. Tho crowds worn
nmall nil oyer tho circuits. For tho
first tlmo In yearn, nowapapera woro
passing up "overhead" service for
tho bulletin scoreboards, And In
Momo newspaper offices not eyon a
lihonn call was registered Inquiring
an to tho scoro. Just for tho fun
of It tho writer askod a number of
jinoplo on tho strool what toams
woro playing In Chlcnjco and half of
thorn didn't know, whllo ono wlsn
nportsman remarked that tho Brook
lyn And Now York Nationals wero
Iitaylng off tho big series.
Tho render may bo wondorlng
what all of this has to do with an
OroKon political campaign. Hut It
has a lot to do. Uphill campaigns
tra won by tho seeming under dog
In only ono way-and that Is by
jttlrrlns: up tho public. When tho
jiubllc can't bo stirred tho man on
tho Job stays In, If thnro has beon
anything In lha past that could stir
up tho public to a whlto hot pitch It
lias boon a world's series between
tho crack teams of Ujolw.o big
loagues, Tho public Just simply
won't bo stirred, and as a result
thcro will bo a lot of re-elections
firound tho country In tho lata fall
when tho frost Is an tho pumpkin
and tho fodder's In tho shock.
News of tho apathy attondant upon
tho world's series games must havu
como ns a sort of rudo blow to one
Union county farmor and stock

nsmuch as most ovuryono has prob
nbly forxotteti who tho aforesaid
Waltor I'lerco Is, It may bo re
marked that ho Is a Democratic can

tion was attained by looking nvor
