Mr. Reed for seven months lectured with the Chau tauqua in Now Zealand and he kept his audience today Interested and laughing by a recital of some of his experiences there. "The New Zea landers aro good, very good," he said, "but they have two faults, thoy drink too much whiskey and they gamble on horse racing. Not a day goes by but some place in New Zealand there Is a horse race, and it is a common ex perience to see a man on the street with the D. T.'s. On the other hand, people In New Zealand are honest. There are no keys to the hotel rooms, the shoes are left outside the doors every night and no ono touches them. You might leave a twenty dollar bill on a stump at the cross roads for a neighbor and no one would touch It but that neighbor. . .

Baker speaks at Salem tonight, unof ficially tho campaign is now raging very hot. By tho time tho prima ries are held, May 17, Chniies U Mo Nary. Mayor Baker and K. .K. Kubli ! will know that they havo. been in a scrap. , I As near as the situation can be P . proximated. Senator Mr Nary Is fea. jturing the McNary-KaUgen wheat bill , as his trump card; Mayor Baker will be talking Oregon und how it can be developed with himself in the senate, and Kubli is basing his campaign on the backing of tho Ku Klux Klan and a proposal to piako the Oregon compulsory school bill , an amend ment to tho federal .constitution. Busy as a one-armed, man with hives, Kubli and Baker are rushing around the state getting in touch with the people, but with this difference: Kubli has been attending meetings of the klans In southern Oregon towns, while Porttand'a ; mayor has. been ap pearing before civic clubs, making speeches and carefully avoiding any referenco to politics. Mayor . Baker is managing to cover much territory and meet many men and women, but not until Wednesday night, at Salem, will he make his first political ad dress. In other words, tho mayor is Playing politics without talking it, until the time and place formally an nounced.. loiter Mr. Kubli will launch his public speaking campaign from the front porch of tho old Kubli homo in Jacksonville, Ore.
