STATE DOMINANCE,
KELLY JECLARESj
Democrats Will Take 2-1
Party Lead, He States
New Deal Achievements
Cited. Critics Attacked
Oregon ie destined to be com Dem
ocratic in the ratio of two to one, a
meeting of the Young Democrat'
club of Jackson county was told last
night by Edward c. Kelly, legal ad
viser for the public works adminls-
trtaion In Portland.
"The Republican party hea become
the reactionary party Mr. Kelly
sid. "It la owned by the reaction
aries of the country and reactionaries
are flocking to It.
"The Democratic party, on the other
band, la the progressive party and
progressives all over the country are
rallying to it emu. Like other west
ern states, Oregon haa been progrca
alve. It haa been progressive In the
ratio of two to one and It 1 natural
that the Democratic party, which. ap
peals to progressives, should eata fl
ush the same ratio. We are destined
to outnumber the Republicans tn this
state two to one."
Expense to lie !sue.
The principal campaign Issue In the
presidential contest this year will not
be the constitution, aa many belle vo,
but rather It will be expenditure and
bureaucracy, Mr. Kelly said.
"The Republicans will cry wast and
. extravagance and bureaucracy, and
we can meet every question they will
raise," the apeaker declared. "They
will try to put us on the defensive
and that la where we must watch out.
We must not let them put ua on the
defensive. We have the facta and
we should marshal these facta so that
we can meet every generality that la
uttered by the reactionaries. It will
be their tactics to criticize In gener
alities; It should be our policy to an
swer with facta taken from the rec
ord." Mrs. Kelly spoke briefly on the or
ganisation of women, aaylng that
very precinct should be organized so
that there wlU be at least one woman
and one young Democrat working
with the regular committee.
Tells of Parties.
Mrs. Kelly spoke also of the differ
ent atmosphere prevailing et various
press con fere noes In Waahlntgon, D.
O., and told of some of the Whtle
House partlos she haa attended.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, long residents
of Medfoxd, resided for some time In
the national capital before Mr. Kelly
was transferred to Portland. They are
now on vacation.
Mr. Kelly dwelled on some of the
aoompllahmenta of the New Deal,
emphasising that when President
Roosevelt entered office conditions
throughout the nation were so acute
ly distressful that draatlo Action had
to be taken Immediately to avert a
national catastrophe.
"Or! tics of the New Deal, now that
they oan see daylight again, have
conveniently forgotten the horrible
oondltlona pre vailing when President
Roosevelt entered the white House,'
Mr. Kelly said. "Something had to
be done and done In a hurry, and
although the president acted swiftly
nothing waa done impulsively or ir
rationally. The administration's pro
gram waa thought out carefully un
der tha advice of the most competent
experta available.
MIA Turning Point.
"What was done waa the beat and
moat effective thing that could be
done and the beat proof of that Is
that the administrations program
worked until parte of It were knock
ed out by the supreme court."
Mr. Kelly then told of some of the
accomplishments of the admlnlstra
tlon.
"You may aay what you choose
about NRA, you may orltldns It all
you like, but you cannot escape the
fact that the KRA was the turning
point of the depression," the speaker
declared.
Mr. Kelly referred to the govern
ment's Insurance of bank deposits,
averring that the thrifty can now
put their savings in the bank with
the knowledge that their money ts
aft. Deposit Insurance, he said, has
sharply reduced bank failures.
Bank Kail u re Recalled.
Under Hoover, banks were failing
at tha rate of 4,000 a year." Mr. Kelly
asserted. "flii.ee Mr. Roosevelt took
ofice bank failures have been re
duced to about 100 a year. If tht
ln1 an accomplishment to be proud
of and a service to the people. I should
like to know what ii."
TVA, he stated, was designed to re
duce rates so that all the people might
enjoy the benefits of electricity,
poner Comnitnlea Crltlclied.
"Do you know," he asked, "thatonly
1A percent of ttte farms of the coun
try are electrified? The power com
panies hare not been In teres ted in
serving the farmers. With TVA fac
1 rig them, howe ver, t hey are now
showing much concern over the farm
ers' welfare. In Mississippi, for In
stance, the power companies are now
hastening to serve the farmers, to
stave off TVA. The snit thing Is
bsppenlnc In Oregon and Washing
ton. where private power companies
are faced by Bonneville dam."
Large as the sum Is. the federal
government haa not spent so much
money on relief aa ww twin ft jent
by states, counties aud municipalities
before Mr. Roosevelt took office. Mr.
KwJly averred.
"If that had kept up the states,
counties and communities would lon
since have become bankrupt and even
then only a small proportion of the
distressed people would have been
agisted," he stated.
C tihen lral.
"I recall very vividly how much
was being spent by Me rl ford and Jack
son county without making any ap
preciable dent in the relief problem.
If that hart gone on much longer the
city and county would now be bank
rupt.
The reactionaries who are crnn;
bout expenditure pytnt wlU alarm.
I for one thing, to tha civilian oonasr-
ration corps. Well, the COC, In all,
haa taken one million young men
from our city street and turned them
into useful citizens. The OCC la do
ing a useful work and the amount of
money It eaves la far In excess of the
cost.
"In preventing and controlling for
est fires alone the CCC haa saved the
country millions of dollars. You can
see that for yourselves right here In
Oregon. You know that It la noth
ing for a forest fire to destroy a mil
lion dollars worth of timber. But the
COO is saving the country that huge
sum thst used to go up In forest fire
amoke."
Calls for Facta.
Mr. Kelly urged hla audience to
keep in touch with the central Demo
cratic committee, to become familiar
with the administration's accomplish
menta. "Get the facta," Mr. Kelly advised,
"and be ready for the generalities
that will be hurled at us by the re
actionaries" Moore Hamilton, president of the
Young Democratic club, waa chair
man of the meeting. Several of the
old line Democrat were present, In
cluding Postmaster Frank DeSou&i,
whose motion for a rising vote of
thanks for Kelly's talks was carried
unanimously.

NEW YORK. Feb. 11. VpV A btt of
wallpaper, stained brown, will go on
exhibition at a mldtown hotel Wed

war president.
Aa Lincoln lay fatally wounded at
the hands of the assassin Booth. April
14. 1865, blood spattered on a wall of
tlie box the president occupied at
Ford's theater In Washington, and
the preserved wallpaper has been
handed down to three granddaugh
ters of a one-time governor of Wash
ington. The owners, Mrs. Mary Pickering
Stever and the Misses Martha and
Catherine, Pickering, descendants of
Gov. William Pickering, lent It to the
Lincoln hotel for exhibition.
Prominent among the other pieces
of Llncolnla to go on display will be
a hitherto unpublished portrait of
the Emancipator, executed in oil In
1800 by Thomas Hicks, soon after
Lincoln was nominated aa the Re
publican presidential candidate. It
pictures Lincoln before he acquired
slde-whlskers and beard.
Also on display will be the famous
Mary Todd Lincoln watch, a gift pur
chased by the then young Lincoln,
to whom the White House eould have
been no more than an Idle dream.
A lovers' quarrel prevented presen
tation of the watch by Lincoln, and
shortly afterward he gave it to Mary
N. Curtise, a Louisville, Ky., belle,
without the original inscription "To
Mary Todd from A. L-, 1841."

Insincere Prayer
Like Crossed Wire
Avers Rev, Dawes
"Crossed Wires" was the subject of
Rev. W. A. Dawes' discourse Sunday
morning at the First Baptist clrurch.
He related how he went to high school
on a street car one day when a crossed
wire fell across the trolley and every
thing stopped. "Hindrance to prayer."
he said, "Is like crossed wires. We
may repeat the Lords prayer and not
be praying. Prayer is talking things
over with God, with a sincere dwire.
The minds and spirits of Christians
who have been much with God, arc
uplifted."
Rev. Dawes gave several reasons
why prayers are not answered, calling
them "crossed wires."
In tht evening the sermon subject
was "Looking and Living." The pas
tor said: "In Corinthians we have
the best method of Bible study, com
paring scripture with scripture. The
Bible ts the best commentator on It
self. The new (testament) Is In the
old contained; the old Is In the new
explained."
