ONLY DISCORDS POSSIBLE
ONLY a short tunc ago the I'ortliinu Orcgonian ro
marked that Senator Jjii Follette of Wisconsin per
sonified an era of the ast and that the cause (hat he rep
resented was a dead one. lie was ionght, even at the polls,
by the old guard.
1 et the people ot lsconsin re-elected .Senator l-a .toi
lette by a majority of ,118,000.
the San rrancisco Chronicle, at the tune ot Mr.
Hughes' visit to California, declared that Hiram Johnson
was not a republican, not entitled to the republican' nom
ination and not entitled to the votes of republicans. The
Los Angeles Times continued the fight upon Johnson until
election day and openly advocated the democratic candi
date.
Yet Hiram Johnson was elected senator by something
over 270,000 plurality.
1 lie Orcgonian read Poindexter out ol the republican
party yet I'oindexter was also returned to the senate by
a record majority.
The reactionary press was mistaken it was they who
represented a dying cause, and La Follette, Johnson and
Poindexter a living one. But Bourbons never learn and
never forget. They will continue to voice reaction. They
represent the very elements in polities that the, real pro
gressives have won success by opposing.
There can be no harmony between real progres
sives and standpatters. They do not belong in the same
party. Efforts to harmonize only emphasize the discords.
ABOLISHING THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
IN .'in effort to ascertain the feeling of prominent men
towards abandoning the electoral college in favor of
ejection by direct popular vote, the JSew link world pub
lishes a symposium of replies showing that a majority
favor a change in the present methods of procedure.
Among the publicists,1 ex-President Tuft, Former Sen
ator Edmunds, President 0. W. Eliot of .Harvard, Judge
George. Gray and President Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia university, oppose 'any change, though Dr. Eliot
thinks the question overshadowed by the importance of
lengthening the presidential term.
Among the senators opposing any change are Hard
wick of Georgia, Sheppard of Texas, Fletcher of Florida,
Myers of Montana, Warren of Wyoming and Williams of
Mississippi.
Among senators favoring a change are Senators Hard
ing of Ohio, Chamberlain and Lane of Oregon, Johnson of
South Dakota, Thomas of Colorado, Hughes of Delaware,
Townsend of Michigan, Clap) of Minnesota, Thompson of
Kansas, O 'Gorman of New York, Poindexter of Washing
ton. Among the governors favoring a change are Lister of
Washington, Capper of Kansas and Harris of Georgia, and
among those opposing are Harrington of Maryland, Stuart
of Virginia, Bilbo of Mississippi and Withycombe of Ore
gon, who suggests that each state be allowed to vote
directlj, its allotted vote being counted for the-. winning
llCKCt.
Of the thirty democrats, fifteen support popular elec
tion, fourteen oppose it, one is non-committal. Of the
eighteen republicans, seven favor it, seven oppose it, two
suixcest other methods and two are non-commit.tjil. The

The change will be proposed in the coming session of
congress. J wo senators h. !S. Johnson ot South Dakota
and (icorge h. Chamberlain ot Oregon announce that
they are working on proposals of amendments. Senator
William II. Thompson of Kansas will again introduce a
resolution he ottered three years ago. Jteprescntative
Ebcuezcr J. Hill of Connecticut makes a similar announce
ment.
The electoral college was created so that the minority
might rule the majority, anil it is only a question of time
until it must go.

Its operation at a minimum of cost.
The testimony, according to the

for an agency to lower and equalize
Interest rates on farm loans and to

period ot years. It also showed, tho
board stated, that farmers have been
required to pay exorbitant interest
and unnecessary commissions, with
too short loans and that since the
farm loan law was enacted interest
rates in most parts of the country
have been reduced to a marked de
gree to meet the new co-operative
competition.

BOARD WARNS BANKS
VAUKlUNtiTON, Nov. 2S. Ameri

eral reserve hoard today to avoid
locking up their funds by purchasing
treasury bills ot foreign governments
Involving long term obligations.
Whllo specifically disclaiming "any

uncial stability of any nation" the
hoard advises all Investors to proceed
with caution and formally announced
to member banks of tho federal re
servo system that with the funds
which should bo avuilahlo to Amer
ican merchants, manufacturers and
farmers In danger of being absorbed
for other purposes it "does not re
gard it in the interest of the country
at this tlmo that they Invest In for
eign treasury bills of this character."
The statement Is regarded In offic
ial circles as one of tho most Impor
tant declarations by the board since
Its creation. Officials would not ills,
cuss the question for publication but
some of them informally Interpreted
the warning as the reserve board's
answer to the recent proosal of J. 1.
.Morgan & Co., ltritish fiscal agents In
this country, to have American bank
ers accept llrltish treasury bills of an
Indefinite total Issue, secured by gold
reserves held In Ottawa. Such loans

AMERICANS ASK FOR
FOOD, LONDON HEARS
LONDON. Nov. 2S -The Dally Mail
today makes a feature story of what
it describes as highly authentic Infor-,
mutton that the food situation both
in Germany and Austria-Hungary is
more desperate than has been hitner
to generally believed. This Intormar
tlon Is based on what is claimed to
be the necessity of tho American of
ficials In both countries to send ur
gent demands home for supplies of
food. The food supplies, it Is suid,
arc now arriving nnd are being placed
in depots under the super-vigilant
supervision of American officials.
Tho newspaper says its Informant
declares that the Americans In the
past few weeks have reported to
Washington that their ration tickets
are useless, as tberu Is little or no
food to get in the nation and tho
request lu America fi r the hastening
of food supplies for them only Is in
terpreted In tho light ot showing that
tho American embassies and consul
ates uow regard' the food situation la
Austria nnd Germany with the great
est' anxiety.
In an editorial dealing with this
story the Dally Mall says It explains
tho "peaco Intrigues which the Ger
mans lire fomenting In the United
States and elsewhere" and urg'Allio
British government to exert fTery
possible pressure, especially the tight,
enlng of the blockade, to prevent
Germany from taking advantage ot
tho seizure of the corn lands of Rumania.
