The fact la that the great banking
firm la regarded by tba Now Dealt
guiding mlmls as chiefly responsible
for the extreme resistance of Ameri
can business to Nuw Deal policies.
PToui the prvsldent down, the most
powerful officials of the admlnistra
tlon detest Morgan's with an all out
personal hatred, from the president
down, the Nu'jf Dealers are convinced,
rightly or wrongly, that Morgan's nas
used Its rami ty tng In ( I ueuces to
stiffen obstruction and stir up rebel
lion. Persecution compluxva are as com
ttiou among pontic tuns as among ft

REPUBLICAN VOTERS! ATTENTION!
Thousands of Republican voters whose first thoughts are for the security
of their homes and the best interests of their State, desire to pay a tribute
to Governor Charles H. M;irtin by casting their votes for him in Friday's
primary election.
How can this be done?
At the bottom of the list of Republican candidates for Governor, write
In Governor Martin's name as follows:
"X MARTIN, CHARLES H."
To insure validity it will be necessary to place a cross "X" before the
Governor's name as written in.
Let's jorve notice to the world of our appreciation of what Governor
Martin ha done for Oregon and its people by giving him BOTH nominations

refusal to register under the holding
company aot after It had announced
its readiness to do so was one recent
Incident which stirred suspicion. An
other was the refusal of Alfred P.
Sloan of General Motors, Walter 9
Clifford of United States Steel to sign
the friendly statement on govern
ment-buslnesa cooperation In which
John W. Hunea persuaded sixteen
business leaders to Join.
Sloau, atettlnhia and Clifford, the
heads of the three largest industrial
companies in the country, are all in
close relations with Morgan's Their
companies all do business with Mor
gan's. And the New Dealers In
terred, rightly or wrongly, that their
unanimous refusal must be traced to
a Hug it source.
Again, the New Dealers bellow,
rightly or wrongly, that John W
Davis, the Morgan lawyer, took the
lead In rallying the utilities com
panies to their so-called united front
ugaLnat the holding company aot.
They point out that the financial
community, for which Morgan's ata
the tone, and the Morgan -affiliated
industrial companleea hav consis
tently taken the most Intransigent
position.
Men will imagine devils for them
selves. It must be emphasised that
ther la no Intention here to pass
upon the good sense of the New Deal
ers' suspicions and beliefs. The Im
portant fact Is that they exist.

for Three
The so-called antt-monopoly Inves
tigation la planned to attack Morgan's
at its moat vital point Its far-reaching
Influence over the policies of
corporations, banks, insurance com
panies and the like. For the first
time since the abortive Pujo money
trust Inquiry, this Influence will be
called in question.
At the same time, it is. not only In
the autt-monopoly Investigation that
the combat between Morgan's and the
administration uow threatens. By the
depression, the nation's railroads h.ive
been put squarely In the New Deal's
power. By the supremo court's decis
ion on the holding company aot. tha
administration also rules the utili
ties. And these are two of Morgan's
and Morgan, Stanley and Company's
most profitable and Important fields
of operation. Hera again, the tempt a
tlon to do Morgan's disservice will be
hard for tha administration to resist.
Certain financial interests, which
have been careful to cultivate the
New Deal's friendship, are already
hoping to profit by th approaching
combat. But before any predictlona
as to tho outcome can be made, one
thing should be remembered. As one
New Dealer rather ruefully put It:
"Morgan's has been Investigated be
fore, and in trouble with the govern
ment before. But they seem to be the
only firm that can handle their par
ticular Job. 9o what can you do with
them?"

LARGE TELESCOPE
E
IS LOCAL PRODUCT
Builder1 of tha giant telescope on
exhibition A tho Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce la Max Bray,
35-year-old pre-medlc student at the
University of California and son of
Dr. and Mrs. Jouetta P. Bray of 25
North oakdale avenue, pr. Bray Is
pastor of the Main Street Methodist
church.
Tha Instrument is a ten-inch re
flecting telescope of he double com
pound or "Cassergrantlan-Gregorian"
type. it attains an 800-power mag
nifloatlon. About two years ago young Bray
took a hand-ground four-Inch tele
scope lens to the Tinsley laboratory
in Berkeley, Calif., for measurement.
Hli work was considered so exact
that he was Induced to work on tele
scopes at the laboratory while pre
paring to continue his college stud
ies. At the laboratory Bray ground and
polished lenses. Then about a year
ago he fell and broke his leg. While
he was In the hospital he visualized
plans for the ten-Inch telescope
which now Is on exhibit here.
With the exception of two small
mechanical Jobs, Bray did all the
work required to build the telescope
In Its present finished form.
The three mirrors of the telescope
are ourved to two or three milllonths
of an Inch of the theoretically perfect
curvature. The mirrors aie made of
pyrex to avoid distortions In their
curves due to temperature changes.
The telescope uses a three-inch re
flector as a finder and guiding tele
scope for photographing the sky.
Patience and skill go hand In hand
In the making of such an Instrument.
Bray said.
