fornia. Perhaps thla old town baa
been dealt with eo extensively that
you have become wearied.
But all thla discussion baa been
leading up to a point.
rpHS point la thla:
' Thla old town of Bhaata, a roar
ing old camp back In the fifties, now
almost ready to Join the ranks of
the "ghosftowna, holds a strong fas
cination for almost everyone who sees
.
Nor Is that all. Nearly everyone
who HEARS of It, from someone who
haa been there and felt the spell of
Its romantic past, WANTS to see It.
t ERB In Southern Oregon and
X" Northern California, we wanrt
tourlata If you like that word: guests
If you prefer a more modern one.
To be perfectly candid about It, we
want the money they will apend with
us. We NEED it in our business.
If we are to bring tourists here In
satisfying large numbers, and stop
them along the way Inatead of etand
lng by the side of the road and
watching them scoot past with their
eyes on the fsr horizons, we must
have something they want to see.
Then we must TELL them about.lt.
"ITTHY do people' go to Switzerland?
"Ml merely to see the Swiss
mountains?.
Probably not. The world la full of
mountains. People In thla country,
for example, can see mountains with
out going clear to Switzerland.
The lure that takes them there la
the lure of romance. They want to
stsnd on storied ground. They want
to say to themselves: "It was here
that William Tell shot the apple from
his son's head."
1THY do people'spend their money
V( to go to England? la it to look
at the bare masonry of the Tower ot
London? Is It to look st the oak treea
of Sherwood forest?
in we must answer: "Probsbly
not." The Empire State building Is
a more thrilling sight than the Tow
er of London, If sights are all we
crave, and as for the oak treea of
Sherwood forest this country la full
of oak trees ust as good.
The mighty oak near Chlco, for ex

NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 25. (AP)
Jubilation rang In the democratic
camp today over the wlld-opened-
armed welcome that the state democ
racy gave Its Idol "the happy war

to Jersey to eound his first major
call for the election of Roosevelt and

One man died of a heart attack and
60 were Injured In a Jamming crush
of cheering humanity. Democratic
leaders said It was one of the great
eat political demonstrations In New

Inside the srmory a throng esti

saw him. Outside, an hour before hla
arrival. Police Commissioner Edward
Rellly estimated that 60.000 persons
choked the streets that later became
the triumphal pathway of Alfred E
Smith.
Criticizing President Hoover as "the
drv leader of the United States." he
devoted much of his speech to rid!
cullng the republicans on prohlbt
tlon. He assailed them on charges of
bigotry, deception and hypocrisy.
He attacked Col. William J. Don

To write In the name of Sheriff
Jenntnga the voter will only be re
quired to write his name on the va-
vant space which la always provided
on all ballots, .and to place an X In
front of the name. Whatever form a
given the name, regarding first name
or initials, the vote will be counted,
County Clerk Del 11 la Stevens Meyer
stated today, as long as the board

Such are the Instructions given

which provides that all votes are to
be counted If the voter's choice can
be determined. As Mr. Jennings Is
best known throughout the county as
"Ralph" or "Sheriff" Jennings, most i
of the wrltedns are expected to take
that form.
Voters are urged. In writing in the

Alfred S. V. Carpenter, Roll Call

tivities through voluntary con
tribution; aa absolutely no funds
from any other source are avail
able for this purpose; from the
public funds in the treasury of

wise: Therefore: It Is the opinion of
this court, and It Is hereby re
solved that funds must be raised

and subscription In order that
the Red Cross may be enabled to
carry on lta emergency relief ac
tivities, as well as Its cooperation
with the county court of Jackson

hereby requested and appealed
to, for whole hearted support to

Commissioner.
Mr. J. C. Thompson, Chairman,
American Red Cross,
Medford, Oregon.
Dear Mr. Thompson:
In the matter of emergency re
lief, our funds received and our
budget are so completely ex
hausted, that the city can do
nothing prior to January 1st next
and then only In accordar.ee with
what may be provided In our
budget for 1038. I see no way to
take care of current relief work
except through personal support
from our citizens who .have al
ways contributed liberally In the
past for all charities.
Very truly yours,
E, M. WILSON, Mayor.
Medford, Ore., Oct. 2S, 1032.
The above means that all relief

ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPECIAL
ENROUTE TO BALTIMORE, Oct. 35.
(AP) His voice so hoarse that he
spoke with difficulty. Governor
Roosevelt today made hla first sppear-
nce of the campaign In North Caro.
Una. greeting big crowds that gath
ered along the route of his special
train.
The governor was not yet up when
the train reached Hamlet and his eon,
Jamea Roosevelt and Robert Reyn
olds, North Carolina democratic
senatorial nominee, addressed the
crowd In his etead.
At Southern Pines, the governor ap
peared on the rear platform to the
accompaniment of cheers and shouts
of greetings.
Conspicuous in tho crowd was a
sign which read "friends of Roose
velt and repeal.'
About the only thing I lost down
In Oeorgla Is my voice," said the gov
ernor, smiling broadly.
I am confident of the result on
November 8 and even more confident
of the result In the state of North
Carolina."
That brought another big cheer
and yells of "you're right, Roose
velt." Despite a thin drizzle of rain. Ra
leigh, capital of the state and home
of former Secretary Daniels, poured
out a crowd which covered the ex
panse of tracka opposite the state
fair grounds about four miles out of
the city. Hundreds of automobiles
were parked in the grounds nearby.
James Roosevelt told of the recep
tions at all hours of the night and
early morning, which had been ac
corded the governor throughout the
United States. As the governor spoke,
the crowd stood In a clammy mist
that seemed as If It might chanpe
Into a steady rain at any moment
and thus break the weather record
that Mr. Roosevelt has let so far.
Since he left Albany more than a
month ago on his first western trip,
no meeting has been broken by rain
and there have been few times when
he haa not had sunny skies.
Ths governor left Aflanta last
night after a two day visit culmina
ting in a mass meeting which pack
ed the city's big auditorium to the
rafters while hundreds of others
clamored In vain for admittance.
In this first address delivered la
the heart of the south by a demo
cratic presidential nominee In many
years, Governor Roosevelt repeated
his pledges for aid for the farmer
through easing the farm mortgage
situation and raising agricultural
prices by a tariff benefit.
Secretary Hyde as well as President
Hoover served aa the target of point
ed paragraphs. "I believe that we owe
It to the farmers of America to have
as secretary of agriculture an agri
cultural leader Instead of ft political
leader." he said.
In thla connection an open boom
for "Cotton Ed" Smith, veteran sena
tor from South Carolina, for the no"
of secretary of agriculture in ths
event of democratic aucceas was
launched by a delegation from his
state at the conferences today.
