iff off-the ticket.
(icnerally speaking politics is adjourned. The war is
absorbing our interests and our efforts to finance, the
Liberty loans and various war funds, and make both ends
meet, leaves but little time or inclination to discuss poli
tics. .Nationally, we believe in supporting those who will
oest support the administration in making the war a sue
cess.
Jn state and local affairs, the conditions are different
National issues do not govern and it becomes nierelv
question of personality and efficiency in administration,
-Mr. lJierc(i has the advantage over Governor Withy
combe in that he is of admittedly gubernatorial size. For
many years he has been prominent in state affairs. He is
known as careful and conservative, a man of poise and
judgment, a plain coninionsense man of the people.
Governor Withycombe, personally a most affable old
gentleman, is badly handicapped by his record. His con
duct of the state prison, for which he is personally re
sponsible, lias neen a continuous record o scandal. Abol
lshing the excellent system his predecessor-installed, he
instituted a regime of oppression and cruelty resulting in
mutiny and murder. Then he went, to the other extreme
in leniency, with resulting demoralization. J lis flax ex
perimeiit proved a costly failure to the taxpayers.
Generally speaking, Goverhor Withyeonibe's admin
istration has been -the most expensive the state has
known. The emergency board is frequently in session
to provide additional revenues over Ilie appropriations
and something over half a million dollars deficiency ex
ists.
.No appointments ever made by an executive of Oregon
nave arouseti greater protest man tliose Dv (iovernor
Withycombe, He lias constantly . played politics, even
with the .supreme court. his latest being to appoint a po
lice court judge to the supreme bench because the latter
conducted his personal press bureau in his canmaip-n for
re-election. Jn other words, he has used the supreme
court to pay off political debts regardless of the fitness
of appointees and the same pernicious principles have
governed all of his distribution of patronage.
As to the claim that he deserves re-election because
he happened to be governor when war was declared, and
is therefore a "war governor" it can he said that, be has
had no part or parcel in the conduct of the war. He has
of course been loyal, as have the other governors, but he
lias inaugurated no regime that has materially helped the
people of Oregon in war preparations. His sole creation,
the military police, is an effort to supplant civil authority
by an especially created military branch.
J here has been a painful lack of administration abil-
n, niihiiicss ciiiciency aim common sense economy in
Governor Withyeonibe's regime that militates against his
candidacy and pressages defeat in spite of the general
apathy of the public towards politics.
LUXEMBURG TALKS IGREAT PIANIST
I'Altljj. OA. 12. Jk'tlmmement id
Orniid ilin lios .Marie Adelaide of
Luxemburg ami (lit establishment in
the yrnnd duchy of n dtmiorriH'v like

vouniiot sister of the grand duchess.
Prince Kuporech has been command
er of the (crimm forces along ilie
northeritiart of the western front in
I ranee. 'IteeentJy it was reported
that he had been displaced hut later
restored to his connaand.
The grand ducess was characteriz
ed bv several speakers ns being en
tirely (iermanophile, one declaring
lliat when Luxemburg was entered by
the Germans, she telegraphed to the
Kniperor William, "I pray (iod everv
day that our army may be successful
ind soon bring back to Germany a
heavy harvest of laurels."
Another speaker declared that she
went twice to Longwv. personally to
congratulate the German Crown
Prince Frederick on having raptured
it. The first time, he said, she was
too early and had to hurrv back un
der French fire. The second lime,
-he presented the crown prince with
a ho(jiict in the streets of Long w v.
Funck Hretano. the historian, pre
sided nt the meeting and made the
principal sneech. expressing indigna
tion at the engagement of Prince
Kupprecht and Princes Antoinette.,
nnd deelariii" it a political affair, I
'devised bv llerlin and readih- ne-
epted by the grand duchess to please
the Germans. '
There can be no ones! inn of love
in such a marriage." he declared. The
princess js hut nineteen, while the
'tvarian crown prince, whose
'vile died of sorrow at Ins conduct
to.wards her. is fifty and looks like
a man of sixty."
Negotiations are under way for
the appearance of this famous artist
at the Page theater on the evening of
November l'Jth.
Mr. Gudowskv an a pianist stands
alone today. He bus gradually forg
ed his way to the top until be is now
known to the musical world as the
"wizzard of the key-board." Jle is,
without a doubt, ir greatest master
oj' the pianoforte since the days of
Franz Li.st. ,
It will certainly be a great treat
to the citizens of the Kogue River
valley to have the opportunity of
hearing the, greatest . pianist in the
world right here in Medford at the
Page theater.
The engagement will be under the!
direction of Mr. George Andrews.
who lias arranged with Mr. Godow-
