Day 's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AT REDDINO, where these words
are written, the Shasta-Cascade !
Wonderland association Is holding Its
second annual meeting.
The 8hasta-Cascade Wonderland
association, as you probably know, ts
composed of three Southern Oregon
and six Northern California counties.
Representatives from these . nine
counties, to the number of more than
4 , hundred, are gathered .here to con
sider what can be done for the pro
motion of the Interest chiefly In
the way of bringing In more tourists
--of the region Included In the Won
derland. In these days of depression, when
expense accounts have to be watched
pretty carefully, it means something
to get 100 men together from all
. orr a region as big aa this,
THE work of theday starts with a
breakfast at 8 o'clock breakfasts
ere getting to be jhot atuff at con
ventions, you know; maybe ttwy are
designed to prove that delegates
really can get up In the mornings
with clear heada, ready for work.
Bert Hall, of Klamath Falls, presl-
dent of the association, presides.
There are six California and only
three Oregon counties, but an Oregon
man leada the association.
Quite a compliment, Isn't it? Two
of the major divisions of the asso
ciation's work, chambers of commerce
and newspapers, are headed by Ore
gon men. j
PRESIDENT HALL starts the day
off beautifully by announcing !
that In spite of the depression and
it general curtailment of tourist
traffic ten thousand more automo
biles .have entered the nine Wonder
land counties this year than laat.
Pretty good. It pays to keep right
on digging, In bad times as well as
in good.
JOHN OUDDYToi Callfornlans, In
corporated, relates that last year
slightly less than one and a half
million tourists entered Northern
California. They stayed an average
of a little more- than 11 days each
and spent about $5 each per day,
leaving In Northern California the
tidy sum of $68,000,000.
That sum. all new money, came
In pretty handy In a year like last
year. And dont forget that a lot of
these tourists came on up into
Southern Oregon and spent a lot of
money with us which helped US.
ONK. tourist ln ten, Mr. Cuddy
states, comes back to make his
home and invest money. Thus, you
see, the tourist business not only
brings in new money but promotes
permanent development.
Callfornlans, Incorporated, la op
erating entirely on the theory that
the way to bring new settlement to
Northern California la to bring peo
ple first aa tourists and then Im
press them so much that they will
come back later as permanent resi-
dents,
THIS breakfast by the way, was
tendered aa a compliment and
PAID for by the All-Tear Club of
Southern California, which Is work
ing Jiard and spending much money
for the development of SOUTHERN,
as opposed to Northern, California.
You can't beat those fellows down
there when It comes to sporting
blood.
TVD. IRVINO "VININO, of Ashland,
member of the Oregon state fish
and game commission, representing
Governor Meier at this meeting,
handsome as men get to be and a
gifted orator, tells the crowd that
over at Reno a while back he was

hand. He's a regular fellow, and If
you don't know him you should.

interesting new variety of partridge

ISLAND STADIUM, Wheeling, W.
Va., Oct. 19. (AP) Governor Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Democratic presi
dential nominee, speaking here today
asked "Are you afraid of a change"
In presidents and a chorus of "No's"
rolled back from the crowd gathered
in the high school stadium on an
island in the Ohio river.
Police estimated more than 10,000
persons were In the grandstands and
on the athletic field.
After luncheon, before going ts the
stadium, Mr. Roosevelt without com
ment received word that U. S. Sen
ator Robert M. LaPollette. indepen
dent Republican of Wisconsin, had
endorsed the Roosevelt candidacy.
His aides said he probably would
have something to say later about
the LaPollette statement.
Several times during Mr. Roose
velts short talk the audience in a
grand stand across the field shouted
"Hoover."
Mr. Roosevelt was introduced by
U. S. Senator M. N. Neely.
WHEELING, W. Va., Oct. 18.
(AP) Governor Roosevelt, Democratic
candidate for tihe presidency, In a
speech here today challenged the
claimed Republican contention that
"things will be worse if I am elected'
and declared that "what ia wrong
with the nation Is "mismanage
ment."
Speaking after a motor drive from
Pittsburgh, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"You have had placed before you
the specter of fear by the Republi
can -candidate and the Republican
leaders. You have been told that
things might have been worse, and
will be worse If I am elected to of
fice. But I cay to you, 'yes, things
might have been worse; indeed, we
might all of us have been destroyed.
But, on the other hand, remember
that things might have been better,
should have been better, and will
begin to get better with a change
of administration on the 4th of
March. ?
If this nation, want to know "what
is wrong with Its national govern
ment, I will give them the answer In
one word," said Mr. Roosevelt. "That
word is 'mismanagement
"I refuse to believe that the people
of the nation can be made to fear
false bogles," said the Domocrattc
nominee.
He asserted: "To attempt to in
still panic Into Vie electorate at a
time when we must all have courage
and a firm belief that the American
characteristic of finding answers to
problems will bring us back on the
upward trail, Is a method of cam
palgning which does little credit to
leaders still at this time entrusted
with the welfare of the United
States.
Mr. Roosevelt said '.'things might
have been much worse" if It were not
for two things, the federal reserve
system and t.he reconstruction fin
ance corporation.
The federal reserve system, he con
tlnued, "was the product of a Demo-
crat Carter Glass" and the recon
struction finance corporation "is as
much a Democratic measure ai
Republican measure, for It was passed
In a spirit of bi-partisan co-opera
tion in .congress."
"But," he added, "this measure
was not due to the creative genius
of Republican leadership, for It was
during the period of the Democratic
administration that there was eatab
llahed the war finance corporation,
and It is essentially the principles of
the war finance corporation which
have been re-established at thla new
period of crisis."
It is believed Mr.' Roosevelt will
discuss the bonus at Pittsburgh to
night. Of that speech, he aald:
"Tonight at Pittsburgh I shall out
line another cause which under Re
publican leadership has had a major
effect upon our present condition
and I shall once more explain f
workable program to remedy the sit
uation." Mr. Roosevelt left Albany yester
day on an eight-day. trip Into Penn

"This is propaganda of rule or ruin.
It Is an Insult to the judgment of

Blnce the first of the week, the
striking feature of the Mali Tribune
straw ballot, has been the sudden
decline of Phipps support for county
judge, and another burst of speed
for Pop Gates. Last week Phipps
showed a gain over hts first showing
when he garnered a total of 168,
but there was a perfect avalanche
of votes over the week-ond for his
opponent and only 18 for the Demo
cratic nominee. Fehl In this same -period
received 13 votes and Pipes
none. Pop Gates on the other hand
came through with a total of 186,
leading the entire local field by an
overwhelming margin. Many believe
this wave of Gates support Is the
popular reaction to the mudsllnglng
campaign started In Jacksonville
sgalnst Pop on the end of last week.
While m the second count Presi
dent Hoover led Pop, in this week
end period Pop took the lead from
the president, and since the first .
of the week has steadily maintained
this advantage. Moreover this sup
port Is not from Med ford alone but
from practically every rural dtatrlct
reporting, 18 votes for Pop coming
In from the Eagle Point district alone
in one envelope, and each one signed
by a resident of that community, '
As far as the straw ballot la con
cerned It certainly looks like a land
slide for Pop Gates three weeks hence.
Some of the ballots were marked
for Pop alone, the other candidate
not being marked and enthusiasm for
him was shown on several with such
statements aa the following written
in:
Pop of course," "Sure we're for '
Pop," "Come on for Pop and lefe
put him over."
Aside from this decline in Phipps
showing, a slight decline In rate of
Increase by 'George Codding, and a
alight Increase by William Brlggs,
the latest count ahows no material
change in the relative standings.
Beeson however. Increased his lead
over Schermerhorn considerably, the
latter only getting 20 votes In this
week-end period, Zundel none, while
Ralph Jennings' name was written
In by thirty voters. ,
The total vote is now nearlng the
1000 mark.
Hot only Is there great public In
terest In this straw ballot, but the
response of the people, from all parte
of the county, since an editorial
appeal for more generM participa
tion, regardless of politics, was made,
has exceeded all expectations. Those
readers, regardless of their prefer
ences who have not sent In then
marked ballots, are urged to do so!

Buy, had a great trip over
those Andes mountains. Our
highest altitude was 21,500
feet. Tbey have oxygen tubei
at each Beat, hut I guess I am
so windy anyhow that I didn't
any. I kept prowling up
forward and talking and look
ing with the pilot, an Ameri
can boy named "Wagoner. They
are all American pilots on this
whole trip.
"We could see the railroad
thousands of feet below, wind
ing its way over and through,
but high tariffs between each
country have killed of the
trade and it's not running any
more. So that's one way to help
the railroads.
It's just the starting ot
spring down here now. Flew
over hundreds of mile of
cheekerboarded green fields,
like Kansas! or Iowa, and the
fattest and biggest cattle you
ever saw.
