KTGE TWO 1TEDFOTCD HAIL TRIBU1TE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THCTlSDlVr, OCTOBER 20, 1932 KELLY AND IFF A rousing meeting of th loot Democrticy waa held ftt tn oounty courthouse auditorium laaf night, when more than 100 Democrats gath ered for the meeting of the Young Democratic club, featuring addreaeea by Colonel E. E. Kelly and Attorney Porter J. Nff, who are stumping the county for promotion of the success of the Roosevelt-Oar ner ticket. Edward C. Kelly, candidate for th , Oregon legislature from thle district, also addressed the audience, listing his qualifications for the position and emphasizing the growth of bureau oracles In the United States and the dangers Involved. Candidates for county offices cm the Democratic ticket were also seat ed on the platform and were Intro duood to the audience by Moore Hanv tlon. president of the Young Demo cratic club, who presided. Colonel Kelly, In hla address, rt Tlewed the success of the 1916 cam paign of the Democratic party, for which he stumped the county with Attorney Neff, and assured the crowd that ho expects Roosevelt to go Into office with a greater majority than waa awarded Woodrow Wilson. Col onel Sully reviewed the bonus army Incident, stating that he was not in favor of payment of the cash bonus, but that he deplored the unfortun ate treatment given the soldiers Jn the capital city. . He spent much time on the pro hibition question as an economic is sue, listing the tremendous costs of attempted enforcement of the law and the increase in deaths from alco holism each year. "The tremendous sums going into the coffers of the bootleggers should be returning to the people. We have discarded a source of revenue," Colonel Kelly de clared, "which all other civilised na tions of the world are taking advan tage of. The federal courts, who for merly devoted their time to moment ous questions, are now trying to de cide who owns a pint of moonshine whiskey." MRepoal of the eighteenth amend ment, however, " Colonel Kelly add ed, "is not an Issue In this cam paign. Both parties admit the fail ure of the amendment predicted by Woodrow Wilson when he opposed Its pasaage." Costs of the upkeep of the White House during the administration of Woodrow Wilson, at war prices, were compared with the costs of President HooveT'a upkeep of the presidential dwelling, by Colonel Kelly, who listed the recent costs as five times the total of Wilson's administration. Attorney Neff, in advancing the campaign of Governor Roosevelt, dealt almost exclusively with the financial problem, laying the cause o depression at "big business" door. 81 not the dose of the World war, he pointed out, big business has been In control In the United States. Not one humanitarian measure has been advanced or passed by the adminis tration. The cabinet is filled with big business men, he added, describ ing the present period as outstand ing In world history for Its concen tration of wealth and the control of government by big business men This excessive accumulation of capi tal, permitted and encouraged under the Republican administration, he held responsible for the recent 'de pression, and closed hla address with a plea to the people to vote for Gov ernor Roosevelt, who has a thought "for the ordinary man." Sheriff Ralph Jennings was then called upon by the club president to contribute a few words to the Demo cratic cause. He stated that the ground had been so completely cov ered by Kelly and Neff that he oould mink of nothing to add except hla positive agreement. Mr. Bryan, a new resident in Med- ford. attending, with his daughter, Mary Virginia, added a sparkling Democratic story from Will Rogers' store to the meeting. James Stevens, the Democrats '-favorite and official soloist, was unable to be present, because of a severs old, but sent greetings and prom ises to attend the next meeting. An optimistic looking orange don key contributed by Mrs. Kelly, ap peared on the platform as mascot of the party. He will visit Jacksonville with Kelly and Neff , tonight.

W E BORAH PLEADS FOR E STATE TALK flHEUXT. Ida.. Oct. 30. OEfV-WHh an Impassioned appeal for Interna tional reduction of armaments and relief of the farmer debt burden. Sen ator William E. Borah, In an address to 1500 people at a potato day cele bratlon here today, continued his campaign -which he said la la behalf of neither party. He warned hla audience, which packed the Latter Day Saints church stake tabernacle, that polloles he ad vocated were found In the platform of neither party and that he assum ed full responsibility for them. Picturing the world situation In which 76 per cent of the gold la held by the United States and France, he said other nations were powerless to buy American goods because of this situation and because of the demon etization of sllvei. which he termed the "primary money of over half the world. He warned that until the farmer la relieved of his present burden of In debtedness, the country is powerless, to escape the depression, and said some acts of farm loan banks "would make Shylock look like a gentle- ma n." In an emphatic conclusion, He de clared: "We are In too large a meas ure, in my Judgment, victims of the crime which began In 1914. ' He ended his speech of a little over an hour with an appeal for a time when the "human race gets back to a place where It can devote brain and brawn for the benefit of man kind, and not for the murder of fellowmen.

(AP) United States Ambassador An drew Mellon gave his complete en dorsement to the record of the Hoo ver administration today In an ad dress before the English-speaking union. He endorsed the measures .taken by the administration to meet the economlp crisis; he denied that the American tariff has had the adverse effect on trade with whlca it some times has been credited, and he ex pressed regret that the American election Is not to be decided on the merits of important policy, "but rather on the vague and general Is sue of discontent with existing con ditions." "There Is a disposition on the part of many people which is not un natural perhaps, however unfair It may be. to blame the president and bUadminlst ration for the calamities which have overtaken America and the .world," he said. "It would be Just as unreasonable to blame the governor of Massachu setts for the low prices of textiles, or the governor of Minnesota for world conditions which have resulted In a low price for wheat. "In the. case of President Hoover, It la particularly unfair, for no one has worked harder and, X think, more , intelligently and with more courage and vision than has the president both tn his efforts to avoid impending calamities and to mini mize their effects when they came." Mr. Me) Ion's support or President Hoover echoed throughout the speech. "In the final analysis," he said, the real question le one of leader ship rather than of Issues.

YOUNG, Manager 61B Pacific BuUdlne Portland. Oregon ItAIU ADV.) Briggs Explains Attitude Toward Conduct District Attorney's Office TO THE PEOPLE OP JACKSON COUNTY: As the Republican nominee for the office of District Attorney of Jackson County, I believe the people are entitled to know my attitude toward the conduct of that office irf other words, what my platform is. Briefly, I would state same as follows: 1. That every citizen of Jackson County coming in contact with my office will receive a square deal, with the idea in mind that the District Attorney's office is for the purpose, not only of prosecuting and bringing to justice the wrong-doer, but of protecting the innocent. 2. I believe in the observance of the law safeguarding the Issuance of search warrants, and that every citizen is entitled to bis constitutional rights regarding search and seizure. I do not believe in the issuance of so-called "blanket" search warrants, and shall approve only the issuance of search warrants based upon proper affidavits showing "probable cause". 3. I pledge myself to give efficient and prompt atten tion to the duties required of the District Attorney under the law. 4. I believe information can be obtained by properly deputized officers, operating under the direction of the Sheriff and state police. You cannot have a high type of enforcement without a high type of men engaged In such work. B. I agree to conduct the office with as much economy as Is consistent with efficiency. t, I believe in the enforcement and observance of the law. I believe that law was intended to meet 'the ends of Justice, and it follows therefrom that reason, and a consideration of surrounding circumstances, must be in termingled with its enforcement. In stating the above pledges and beliefs, I am not to be construed, directly or indirectly, as making inference against my Democratic opponent; I am simply stating what I, personally, stand for. I am conducting my cam paign on my own beliefs and merits, and criticism of an opponent will not enhance my own qualifications. Taid. Adv. WM.
