"Joker" In Anti-Vaccination
Bill Is Explained
From the Public School Protective
League, 923 Chamber of Commerce Bid.,
Portland, Oregon, October It, 1920.
Dear Sir:
We have had many inquiries as to
what constitutes the "Joker" in the
Anti-Compulsory Vacoinatlon Amend
ment as seemingly discovered by Dep
uty City Attorney Latourette. ,
As this gentleman has not declared
himself as to what the "Joker" is, and
as careful analysis of the amendment
by reputable authorities has failed to
disclose a "Joker," It li fair to assume
that "there ain't no such animal," but
that It is a bluff on the part ot the
American Medical Association to
frighten those who are favorable to
wards our measure.
Futhermore, there la nothing In the
Amendment that could be construed as
a menace to publto health, sanitation,
or quarantine, as a careful reading of
the measure will convince any ordinary
Intelligent person. It simply protects
against compulsloa of vaccination, in
oculation and other medication, and
does not in any way prevent those who
wish it from having It
The vicious attack on our measure
by the American Medical Association
can only be construed as a fear ot loss
of control, together with flnanolal loss,
and it is not surprising that the death
struggles of medical autooracy are vio
lent and hysterical
If you want the privilege of selecting
your own dootor and remedy, VOTE
812 YES.

a most! excellent entertainment There
was a good'attemlance of former dough

. Harvey and Clarence Bauman of Lex
ington put on an exhibition wrestling
match, Peterson and Hamilton went a
few rounds with the gloves, as als6 did
Thomas and Lieuallen. The premier
match of the evening was the fistic
bout between "Mike" Mlkesell and Bill,
"Min" Austin. This was a genuine old
fashioned slugging match, where
friendship was forgotten for-the time
and the boys pummeled each other all
over the mat.
Other wrestling matches between
Chlilsey and Peterson and Reasoner and
Wright were good attractions.
A big feature of the evening was the
feed, prepared by chefs "Mike" Phelps
and "Deacon" Glen JoneB.

ing to stage another big smoker on the
6th of November and anyone who wants

OF
Kleetlua This Year Moat Important
Since tke Civil War for Cenatry
Face Problems of Rreoaatraetlosu
In many respects this is the most
Important election since the Civil War.
The results of the voting on November
2, 1020, will affect the affaire of the
country for many years. It is import
ant that the right men are elected for
President and Vice-President but it is
also important that the President have
a Congress in sympathy with his poli
cies. If Mr. Cox is to be elected, the
Senate and House should be also dem
ocratic. If Mr. Harding is to be Presi
dent the Senate and House should be
republican. A deadlock would prove
an exceedingly bad thing for the coun
try at this time. And it is the duty of
every voter to go to the polls and vote.
There are some very important meas
ures to be voted upon at this election
which vitally affect the welfare of the
state. The Single Tax proposition is
squarely before the people this time
on its merits, ft this measure carries,
It will certainly make a decided change
in land values. The. four per cent in
terest bill is one which should not be
overlooked when placing your X be
tween the number and no. No one will
be able to borrow money in this state
for four and five per cent when the
lender can get more for his money In
adjoining states. The. result will be, li
this measure prevails, that people who
need money can not obtain it There
are other measures of Importance on
the ballot. They should receive care
ful consideration at the polls. Some
are good, one or two are negative and
the balance are dangerous.
Let us demonstrate our AMERICAN
ISM and our faith in GOVERNMENT
BT THE PEOPLE by going to the polls
and voting next Tuesday. If you are
not registered, you can register at the
polling place.

Independent Caadldnte for United Sta
tes gennlor Insaes Challenge for Pnn
lle Debate.
(Portland Telegram)
United States Senator George E.
Chamberlain's record is assailed in a
statement by Thomas A. Hayes, inde
pendent candidate for United States
senator.
Hayes is the candidate of what is
known as the President Wilson wing
of the Democratic party, and this is his
sceond attack on the senator.
It Is In reply to an editorial yester
day In the Democratic organ of the
city, praising the senator's record, and
saying he Is the "only candidate for
United States senator from Oregon."
The statement, In part, follows:
Senator Chamberlain is the only
candidate who is too cowardly to
Issues of the day, except compulsory
take a stand on any of the leading
military training, which his Wall
street backing Insists that he
stand for. He and Senator Wads
worth were afraid to push thei
compulsory military training bill
through the last congress, but it
will be up again in December if
they are re-elected.
Chamberlain is the only candi
date who has been in the senate
twelve years and has not a single
piece of legislation to. his credit
that has been of particular benefit
to Oregon or the nation.
Chamberlain la the only candi
date running, who on August 26, '
1913, voted against the amendment
of Senator Borah to increase the
income tax on large Incomes.
He is the only candidate running
who on August 27, and again on
August 28, 1913, voted against the
Brlston amendment to Increase tax
on large Incomes.
Chamberlain is the only candi
date running who on February 27,
1914, voted to hamstring the parcel
post by preventing an Increase in
the weight limit. His vote on that
occasion was a vote for the express
monopoly.
Chamberlain Is the only candi
date running who on June 15, 1914,
voted to restore the old graft of
20 cents a mile for congressmen
and senators, InBtead of the actual
expense. Senator Lane, of Oregon,
voted against Chamberlain and for
the actual expense.
Chamberlain is the only candi
date running who, on July 7, 1914,
voted to reduce the appropriation
for carrying on the work of the
commission of industrial relations.
A vote to reduce the appropriation
was a vote to prevent a proper In
vestigation into the wage slavery
In some ot the leading Industries of
the nation. Again Senator Lane
voted for the wage earner and ag
ainst Chamberlain. ,
Chamberlain Is the only candi
date running who, on July 13, 1914,
voted against putting the mileage
of senators at 6 cents a mile. Ag
ain Senator Lane voted against
Chamberlain, and against the 20
cents a mile.
Chamberlain Is the only candi
date running who, on October 5,
1914, voted to strike out all the
criminal penalties of the anti-trust
bill. Again Senator Lane voted
against Chamberlain and the Wall
street freebooters.
Chamberlain Is the only candi
date running that President Wilson
In genteel terms called a liar, and
that subsequent events showed the
president told the truth.
Again I challenge Mr. Chamber
lain to meet me In debate on the
great Issues of the day. I chal
lenge him to secure the Indorse
ment of President Wilson or any
member of his cabinet
WATER FOR 401
Heppner's 1100,000 Municipal Water
Plant, Now Completed. Gives Ample
Flow and Added Pressure
Heppner's long-dreamed-ot gravity
water system is now a reality. The
other morning housewives were almost
swept from their feet from the added
pressure brought by the mountain wa
ter 16 miles away.
H Is a sad blow to knockers, is this
new water system which is now work
ing beautifully and which furnishes a
water supply sufficient for tour thous
and people. Let us hope that It will be
but a few years until we will again find
It necessary to enlarge the plant It
has been predicted that with an ample
water supply, Heppner's future is se
cure, that the town will go forward
with an unprecedented growth.
The city officials are to be commend
ed In getting this new system installed.
It Is undoubtedly the greatest one
thing ever done for the town. We un
derstand that, should the growth of the
town In future years demand It, the
plant can be enlarged without a large
cost.
The pressure of the water in the old
system, according to City Engineer
Illckey, was 20 pounds to the foot In
the new system the pressure Is t5
pound. And the water is soft
Charles Fuller, who was an early set
tler In this section and a resident here
for forty years, died on Monday of this
week at Murphy, near Grants Pass, Ore.
Cause of death was cancer of the face
and neck, from which malady Mr. Ful

HEPPNER HIGH li
FOSSIL GRID
Wheeler Conn 1 7 High School Humbled
7-0, j Morrow County Wttrrtonk
Defeat First la Tear.
(Fossil Journal.)
For tho first time In twenty years of
Us history the Wheeler county high
school football team has lost a game
on Its home ground. Heppner high de
feated Wheeler county high by a score
of 7 to Q on Bukek Held last Wednes
day afternoon.
It was a ragged bunch of players on
both sides that took the field against
each other the day before yesterday In
the opening game of the season. The
contest was a series of fumbles from
beginning to end.
For three periods the teams battled
scoreless. The break of the game came
in the last period.
By a series of successful forward
passes Heppner had advanced to
Wheeler county's 15-yard line, losing
the ball on a fumble, and then the pur
ple and white quarterback used poor
judgment by calling for line bucks in
stead of punting the pigskin safe on
the first down. Fossil, as usual, fum
bled and lost the ball almost against
its own goal line, and Aiken had scored
for Heppner thru the line before the
Fossil players knew what had happen
ed. The goal was successfully kicked
and for the rest of the game Heppner
devoted Us time to keeping Fossil from
evening the score.
'Fossil came near scoring in the first
period when they advanced the ball by
plunges to within 15 yards of Hepp
ner's goal but lost the ball on a fumble.
Again they came near scoring in thi
second quarter after Monis 30-yard
run on a fake plav, and here again,
with only a fraction of a minute to
play, our quarterback unfortunately
called for a play through the line when
a more experienced player would have
tried an end run or a field goal.
Critics 6f the game declare both
teams very evenly matched and neither
tn"very good shape. Heppner has some
bewildering formations and works the
forward passes well. Fossil has sev
era! brilliant individual players and ex
cels in line bucking. The material is
certainly here for a winning team.
Blann showed to good advantage on
the Fossil line while Zachary, Smith
and Morris were the chief ground gain
ers for the Wheelr county lads. For
Heppner Ferguson played a good game
st end while Aiken and Teterson were
the stars in the back field. Tho line

March fourth, and if President Hard
ing is to do for the people what they
expect from him, he must have a Sen
ate that will answer those questions
right. The whole Dmeocratlc policy of
waste, weakness, International surren
der and domestic autocracy has got to
be reversed. It cannot be reversed
without the help of the Senate.
"The governmental extravagance that
makes high taxes and high prices has
got to be checked and the cooperation
of the Senate is necessary to check It
The Wilson plans to throw away bil
lions on foreign enterprises and adven
tures in Europe. Asia and Africa, have
got to be stopped and the Senate is the
body that must help the President stop
them. The tangle in which the Demo
crats have involved us by their timid
sacriSces to Mexico and Japan has got
to be unraveled and in this undertaking
the Senate Is practically as important
as the President
"In tariff, banking and commercial
affairs. In bringing the United States
back to a peace basis, in restoring nor
mal conditions in farm, factory and
business life, a strong Republican Sen
ate Is an absolute necessity; a genuine
reform of the government and recon
struction of living conditions cannot be
imagined without It
"If the voters of Oregon could fully
realise how much of their future com
fort and prosperity depend on the Uni
ted States Senate there would not be
the slightest doubt as to the election of
Robert N. Stanfleld. He will be need
ed, urgently needed to fortify the ad
ministration after March 4. No Demo
crat no matter how high minded,
could be able to do the work Mr. Stan
fleld, a Republican, would be able to do
In peace times. A Democrat la bound
to vote on party Issues with the Dem
ocrats, and in the Senate after March
'4, the Democrats will be voting as a
party againt President Harding. Bo a
man who now withholds his Tote from
Stanfleld in Oregon, is withholding
from a Republican presidential elector.
'The only way in Oregon to cast a
one hundred per cent ballot against
the Wilson administration and for a
Republican administration la to vote for
HARDINQ and COOLIDGE and STAN
FIELD on November Second." '
