Greatest Demonstration
of Campaign Welcomes
President in Chicago

which he said must be served by the
United States, showing the world how
to place the cause of labor on a par
with that Of the employer and the rights
Of humanity "above the rights of SOW
ereignty." Finally, in his speech at
the Stock Yards pavilion last night,
where he was greeted by the greatest
and most demonstratiye throng that has
heard him at any time since the cam
paign opened, the president further en-
larged upon his theme and said that
men who came to this country are ex-
pected ''to put new affection, new
allegiance, above every other affection
and allegiance" in triumphant i'll
ustration of the spirit Of America in
the service Of mankind. "
In this effort to unite the people Of
the country for the purpose of accom-
plishing the big task, which, he says,
will face America when the war is over,
the president appears to have thrown
aside party lines in his out and out
appeal to all "forward looking pro.
gressives. He will continue the same
policy in speeches delivered away from
Shadow Lawn during the remainder of
the campaign, limiting only at the dan
gers Of ousting power and policy which
has guided the nation along "certain
known course" for power and policy
whose course Is "uncertain and un-
known"

EXPECT WHEAT WILL
CO TO TWO DOLLARS
This Means at Least $l2 a
Barrel Flour --- Wheat
Famine Is Predicted

Chicago, Oct. 90" Unless an EN-
barge on the expectation of flour and
wheat is at once declared there will
be wheat famine before spring
said Paul Schulze, head of large bals
ing concern here today.
Bakers paid $3.50 barrel for flour
yesterday. The retail price was ad
vanced to 5000 and $40, the highest
in 20 wears. Wheat has jumped also ten
cents this week and grain men predict
$500 wheat before the first Of the
year. December wheat rose ] 7-8 cents
to $l.66 SIS; May rose ! 3-9 cents to
$1,67h.
The cause is laid TO short crops
throughout the world. Argentine is suf-
fering from drought Russian wheat IS
held up, and because of the Canadian
scarcity the British empire is talking
of Communicating the crop.
"Bakers have been caught this year
without stocks Of flour on hand,
Schulze said today. "They did not buy
when the first advance came, expecting
a lull in the market. Now they arc
working from hand to mouth. A rise
rise of 80 cents barrel will force an
other bread increase.
B II. Dahlheimer, president of the
Master Bakers association, said there
would be no immediate increase in the
price of bread. Cleveland bakers, how
ever, slapped another cent ON and the
family size loaf costs eight cents there.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 20.-During the
president ride about Pittsburgh to-
day man carrying a black satchel
made determined efforts to jump on
the running board of the president Is
car. He was finally overpowered and
hustled off to station house by po-
licemen.
AT the station house the man gave
his name as Richard Cullen. He is
Pittsburgher, 22 years old. When ques-
toned he said that he was dissatisfied
with the president s handling of Eu-
ropean affairs, but did not admit that
he intended to attack the president.
In the satchel, police say, was found
long bladed knife and several chisels
The clasp of the satchel was unfastcn-
ed.
The president IS car was halted when
Secret Service Operative De Fiore,
former member of the Pittsburg detec-
tive force leaped from the automobile
and pummeled Cullen after the latter
made his second attempt to reach the
president. The crowd closed in about
the ear and it was several minutes be-
fore fifty police gathered from all di-
rections lifted clubs and drove il back.
Bleeding at the nose and from the
mouth, Cullen broke away from De
Fiore by swinging the satchel around
with his free hand and bringing it
down hard on the detectives wrist. 1t

Cullen, who is q mechanic. Bursting in
through the street, Cullen made an un-
successful effort to escape by running
away.
The president Mrs. Wilson, Demo-
cratic State Chairman Joseph Suffey
and two secret service men were in tho
presidents ear. While the presidents
bodyguard twice threw Cullen from the
running board, the president remained
very calm Mrs. Wilson shared his APP
parent confidence tn t secret service
men would take care of the would-be
assailant.
The crowd seemed slow to grasp tho
situation.
During the scuffle between Cullen
and secret service men loaded re-

WILLIAM HANLEY IS
WILSON SUPPORTER
Late Progressive Candidate
For Senator Gives Reasons
For His Stand

Speaking as farmer. from the
standpoint of man who has been in
actual contact with the soil all his life,
and further as man who has given
much thought to the "back to the
soil" movement, William (BilD Hanley
of Burns, or rather Of eastern Oregon,
believes that Woodrow Wilson took
he first great step towards solving
the most vital problem confronting the
American people when he caused the
enactment of the rural credits law.
To Mr.. Hanley's S mind, the most i'm
portant problem of all is that of get
ting people out of the cities and on the
land, not only for their individual good
in the way of character building, but
also that consumption tof foodstui'fs
may not outstrip production, as now
threatens, with resultant distress to
great classes of our population.
Wilson a Real President
Woodrow Wilson has been a real,
not political, president-a man SO
thoroughly educated that he instructive
ly foresees the great problems of the
country and takes steps TO meet them,
said Mr. Hanley, who arrived in Port
land yesterday. As a progressive, he
was the candidate Of that party for
United States senator in 1914. lie is
enthusias ,ically supporting the presi'
dent for reelection.
d" From long years of experience ]
know exactly what the farmers are up
against in their efforts to make good y
said Mr.. Hanley. "The attempt to APP
ply the rules Of commercial credit to
them-short time loans with high rates
of interest, with the exception that the
farmer paid more interest than mercan-
tile concerns--was an absurdity to be-
gin with
Prosperity Depends Upon the Soil
Everything begins and ends with
the soil, the countrys prosperity is in
the last analysis entirely dependent up
on it, and the basis of credit should al
WAYS have been the farmer needs.
This is q fundamental truth, and one
would think that something would have
been done about it long ago. But no,
it remained for Woodrow Wilson, the
far seeing statesman, to recognize that
our credit system was Fundamentally
wrong and to set about changing it,

lar for the injustice done our agrleul'
tural population--and indirectly the
entire nation-but | do laud President
Wilson and intensely admire him for
recognizing the vital nature of this

he said, is at once reaping golden har.
vest-and, to mix the metaphor-paying
the piper; the piper being the high cost
of living.
His explanation was: Export trade
brings an Unprecedented quantity of
gold here. There is such vast demand
for goods that prices rise responsively
More workers than ever before are EN-
ployed and they are getting larger wa
ges than previously. And while these
workers supply the goods, their wages
drawn from the immense store of gold
buy more goods than before, thus help.
ing swell the abnormal demand and the
consequent price increases.
Wages, he admits, have not fully
kept pace with prices-as usual-but
he hopes for an altered condition in the
future
"The high cost of living" he said,
elsa creature of our own creation.
"The United States is normally Dor
rowing nation. Capital utilized for CON
struction in the past has been recruited
largely abroad. Our economic affairs
consequently have been adjusted to
meet our customary OUTLAW of money
required to pay our interest bills in for

1.-The sudden reversal Of this condi-
ton, the retention of interest payments
at home, coupled with reversal of the
usual trade conditions, presents an usual
and extraordinary economic problem.
