ARBERS talk to many people.
Hence they are apt to know pret

Apeople who came to my chair and all

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. '

that what Is here said refers only

with Roosevelt himself, who hasn't

may be due to the better understand

But In the main It Is due to the

65-Yard Return of Punt by
Mark Temple in Final
Period Saves the Day for
Prink Callison's Webfoots
By CLAYTON V. 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.

escaped being snow-bound at Dia

that section the first of the week.
Their car became stalled In the 16

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

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

Another Falsehood Nailed
IN AN eleventh hour effort to defeat C. 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-
