An Intelligent barber aid to this writer the other day: "Sentiment here In Southern Ore gon Is swinging strongly to Hoover. A couple of months ago, I cheked 30 Apeople who came to my chair and all of them said at that time that they were going to vote for Roosevelt. , "Within the past week or so, I've talked to 10 of the same' 90, and all of them have switched over and are going to vote for Hoover." TEAT la a high percentage of change, and probably wouldn't be borne out In average experience. But nearly all careful observers agree that In the past few weeks there has been a strong drift away from Roosevelt and to Hoover. This drift first became apparent late in Auguest, and was materially Increased by Hoover'a Des Moines speech, which apparently made a strong Impression. It has continued since that time. There can be little, doubt that if tie election had been held In early August," Roosevelt would have been elected overwhelmingly. He may BTTLL be elected, but In this writer's judgment his chances are nowhere near as good now as they were a couple of months ago. ' fT SHOULD be undersood, of course, that what Is here said refers only 1 to Southern Oregon, for this writer hasn't been out oi ine soucneni pti.. citing what he called "the Demo- of toe state and doesn't know how neoDle elsewhere are talking. But Southern Oregon people are repre- eentatlve American citizens, and It Is probable that what has been going on here In the way ol change of sen timent has been going on generally, WHY thlo change of sentiment ai election approaches?' Well, it Is possible that a part of It may be due to dlsapplontment with Roosevelt himself, who hasn't tad much In the way of a construct lve urogram to offer. In part, It may be due to the better understand ing of Hoover that has followed his recent speeches. But In the main It Is due to the growing belief that Hoover's election will Inspire confidence and so result In continued Improvement In bus! ness conditions, where as Roosevelt's election will be apt to cause people .who have plans for business expan kion in mind to HOLD UP these plans and wslt a while to see what is going to happen. More than any other within the memory of voters of this generation, this Is a breed and butter campaign. SJ. HUNGER-FORD was named , ' acting president the other day of the Canadian National railways, which rates as the largest railroad system In North America. He started life as a mschlne shop apprentice. He has gone qute a long way, hasn't he? - iHPHIS system under which we oper- at here In this country call It "capitalism," the "Amerlcsn system.' or whatever you choose has pro vided a lot- of opportunities for able and Intelligent people starting at the ( bottom. It may have Its faults, hut at least It Is better then any system that has preceded It. A lot of people are telling us that we ought to scrap it and take on something new and different and as let untried, but if we're wise well go pretty slow about that, Never throw away something good until you KNOW you have something better In eight. THERE 8 a lot of gloom loose In tfie world these days, and plenty of people will tell you: "Oh yes, Hungerford may hsve started at the bottom and reached the top, but he started In the OOOD OLD DATS. No such opportunities are left now. Listen: The next generation will see greater opportunities for people with bright minds and ability to work hard and effectively than any y generation in the put has seen. That la an optimistic prediction, but this writer Is an Incurable opti mist and refuses to believe that the great days of Vie country are past.

Few Wagers In County The Jackson county political situa tion, over which the confusing wind of argument and controversy have raped for the better part of three years, has narrowed down to the last 36 hours, and the air Is full of the claims and counter-claims of rival candidates.

The presidential race continues the main point of Interest, but with a high temperature In the county races for sheriff, county Judge and dis trict attorney.

BERNIIARD Associated Press Staff Writer BELL FIELD, CORVALLIS, Nov. 8. (AP) A beautiful 65-yard run on a punt return by Mark Temple, Ore gon U, left half half, in the middle of the final period pulled a la-to-S victory for the -Webfoots out of what appeared to be another tie game In the annual state championship grid Iron battle at Oregon State college here today. Temple received the ball on his own 30-yard line, reversed the field, raced down the slippery field Just behind two teammates, one of whom took out Keith Davis, the only remaining Beaver player be tween him and the goal line. He crossed the victory line standing up. Gleseck's kick for point was wild. Moe Scores First . Oregon State took the Jump when Moe scored a touchdown in the sec ond quarter. Early in the third pe riod Oregon made Its first touchdown when Mlkulak pus!.ed over the line for the tally. Neither try for extra points was good. Both of the early touchdowns resulted from fumbles. .. Before ah estimated crowd of 12, 000 fans who braved a heavy rain storm to witness the 37tn annual classic, the two teams fought up and down the heavy field, ofttlmes bring ing the crowds to their feet. Fumbles were numerous. On Moe's touchdown for Oregon State, "Curley" Miller, left tackle, took Temple's fumble on the Oregon one-foot line. It required three plays to ' score. On Oregon's first score, Ray Morse, Oregon left end, recov ered Johnny ' Blancone's fumble on the O. S. O. 38-yard line. A straight march from there made it possible for "Mike" Mlkulak, Oregon fullback, to tally. Oregon Gained Most Statistics showed Oregon hsd dis tinct edge on grould gaining, mostly through line smashes by Mlkulak and off-tackle runs by Temple. The Webfoots made ten first downs and 173 yards gross from scrimmage to one first down and 61 yards from scrlmmsge for Oregon State. Oregon made one first down from passes and Staters one from penalty. Punt ing honors were nearly even, Temple getting off 18 for average 32 yards, and Davis 18 for average 33 yards. Oregon passed twice, one being good for 10 yards, the other Intercepted. Oregon State tried four passes, com pleting two for six yards, one Inter cepted and one Incomplete. E.ich side was penalised four times, Ore for 28 yards and one forfeit of ball; Oregon State for 30 yards. OLYMPIC STADIUM, LOS ANGE LES, Nov. .

Their car became stalled In the 16 lnch snow fall, on the way out, and It was necessary to return to Dia mond lake for assistance. The next morning a truck hauled the car out of the drifts and Perry and Flynn returned to Medford by way of Klam ath Falls. It took two hours' coax ing with hot water, and other meth ods to start their stalled auto, Perry says. The blizzard was so fierce that tt was difficult to see ten feet, and the flakes were lashed by a high wind. The pair were on a duck hunt ing trip. Perry telephoned his family here that he waa safe, when they reached the Diamond lake lodge, the call being routed via Roseburg. Perry was anxious to get out so he could vote Tuesday. "It looked for a while like we would never make It," he said. Flynn Is a native of San Diego, Cal., and was anxious to see snow In large quantities. His wish has been amply fulfilled.

B. (Pop) Gates, his op- ponents have united in a renewed campaign of mud slinging and vituperation in which the Mail Tribune figures as an acces sory before the fact. These charges differ in detail, but they all center around the claim that, if Pop is elected, the Mail Tribune will be awarded certain "fat printing contracts." This charge is just as true, as nil the other charges flung at Medford 's former Mayor, in a desperate and we believe a futile effort to prevent his certain victory. It is not true at all. In fact, IT IS A DELIBERATE AND MALICIOUS FAISEH00D. ' HOREOVEB, it is an extremely STUPID falsehood. For Pop Gates as county judge could not give the Mail Trib une a fat or a lean or ANT printing contract even if he WANTED to. For the simple and sufficient reason that the Mail Tribune is no longer in the job printing business, and hasn't been for over a year and a half, e e e e e THE MAIL TRIBUNE has no more financial Interest In the job department of the Medford Printing company, than It has in Copco or Mr. Tipes' Liberty build,ing. The chief county expense in the printing line, lies in the printing of ballots, tax receipts, letter heads, books, etc, etc. "We repeat WHERE this printing goes or ITOW it goes is of no financial interest to this paper, because it couldn't do that work if it wanted to. AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO. So that charge falls of its own weight as all the other charges of the mud slinging brigade do. We merely call attention to it because it Is typical of the entire effort to defeat Top Gates. Under normal conditions, it like others concerning this paper would be ignored for if we tried to refute every ridiculous and malicious charge made against this paper, we would be able to do nothing else. But conditions are not normal. People are discontented and suspicious. We are in the midst of a bitter political campaign, and these last-minute charges if not refuted, will do harm, as those circulating them intend them to do. So we spike this falsehood as we have others and will con- . ,;,, , ,l ,mtj ,, cainpnign ' .,, , . ' Fill TAMMANY RALLY MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, Nov. 5.
