WILL LAWRENCE BE BEHIND K|LBY IN GOVERNORS RACE?! Some Interesting Gossip of State Politics Now Going
 the Rounds RACE FOR SENATE
 IS EVEN LINING UP White, Burr and Weatherly Are All Mentioned as Flirting
 With High Political
 Honor
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

The Rev. Brooks Lawrence, Superin- tendent of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league, has actively joined the support of Thomas E. Kilby of Anniston, an- nounced candidate for governor.
 It cannot be learned whether the league as a league and political organization has indorsed the Kilby campaign. The posi- tion of its superintendent, however, would indicate as much.
 Dr. Lawrence has made no public state ment. But in transforming the speeches of MT. Ki1by from common type into newspaper plate, and securing their dis tribution through the mail and other wise, there is no longer a question but that the prohibition leader has taken a stand.
 THE NEWS BREAKS
 The manner in which this information came to light was regarded as not only interesting, but unusual.
 It seems that the Western Newspaper union was employed to prepare and dis tribute to various weekly papers an ad- dress delivered by MT. Kilby in welcoming g Confederate veterans at Jacksonville that speech in which the lieutenant gov ernor, in addition to patriotism, dis cussed what he considered an impending danger emanating from Rome.
 When the speech was prepared, the Western Newspaper union printed an ex- planatio and affixed it to each copy to the effect that the address was printed and distributed at the direction of Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the A fbo+ for statements therein contained the Western Newspaper union was not re- sponsible.
 BANKHEAD AND WHITE
 The activity of MT Kilby and his lieu tenants indicates an early initiation of the "big fight" for state honors. At the present time MT. Iilby and John H. Wal lace, Jr., of Montgomery are the sole an- nounced candidates for the governorship. w. w. Brandon of Tuscaloosa and Charles McDowell of Eufaula are re- garded as probabilities. It is generally believed that at the present time MT. Kilby has a position well to the front of the field.
 Gossip is to the effect that in other races scheduled for the near future, there will be quick developments As is gen orally known Frank S. White is prepar- ing to oppose John H. Bankhead for re- election to the Senate. If the prohibition question is injected as an issue, the stua- ton between the two will become greatly involved. Senator Bankhead who is not regarded as a prohibitionist, supported the prohibition amendment to the consti- tuition when it was before the Senate. Captain White, who is regarded as a pro- hibitionist, declared, during the last race for delegates to the national democratic convention, that he was not in favor of prohibition by federal action-that he fought a four-year war in defense of the rights of states.

The manufacturer does not need to
to be told, | hope. that the nation
looks to him to speed and perfect ev-
cry process; and | want only to re-
mind his employees that their service
is absolutely indispensable. and is
counted on BY every man who loves
the country and its liberties.
Let me suggest also. that every
one who creates or cultivates gar
den helps greatly. to solve the prob
lem of the feeding of the nations;
that every housewife who practices
strict economy puts herself in the
ranks of those who serve the nation.
This the time for America to correct
her objectionable fault of wasteful-
ness and extravaganza. Let every
man and every woman assume the
duties of careful, provident use and
expenditure as a public duty. as a
dictate of patriotism which no one
can now expect ever to be excused
or forgiven for ignoring.
In the hope that this statement
of the needs of the nation and of
the world in this hour Of supreme
crisis may stimulate those to whom
it comes and remind ali who need
reminder of the solemn duties of a
time such es the world has never
seen before, l beg that all editors
and publishers everywhere will give
as prominent publication and as
wide circulation as possible to this
appeal. | venture to suggest also
to all advertising agencies that they
would perhaps render a very SUBJ
stantial and timely service to the
country if they would give it wide
spread repetition. And hope that
clergymen will not think the theme
of it an unworthy and inappropriate
subject of comment and homily from
their pulpits.

has come. We must all speak, act

MY fellow countrymen:

The entrance of our beloved
country into the grim and terrible
war for democracy and human rights
which has shaken the world creates
so many problems of national life and
action which call for immediate con-
sideration and settlement that hope
yeu will permit me to address to
you few words of earnest counsel
and appeal with regard to them.
I'VE are rapidly putting our navy
upon an effective war footing and
are about to create and equip a
great ARMY, but these are the SIM
plest parts for the great task to
which we have addressed ourselves.
There is not a single selfish element,
30 far as ! can see. in the cause we
are fighting for. We are fighting
for what we believe and wish to be
the rights of mankind and for the
future peace and security of the
world. To do this great thing
worthily and successfully we must
devote ourselves to the service with
out regard to profit or material ad-
vantage and with an energy and in
telligence that will rise to the level
of the enterprise itself. We must
realize to the fullest how great the
task is and how many things. how
many kinds and elements Of capaci-
ty and service and selfscrifice it in
wolves.
These, then. are the things We
must do and do well. besides fight

Backing Home Industry
Means Bigger PayrOIIs
X x X X 4 y Il y x x X x j

No individual making his home in
Oregon can say to himself III have no
interest in bigger payrolls for Oregon. -
In some way or other every person
in this state is benefited by circulation
of payroll money.
In past years, and even now, Oregon g
effort has been principally directed to
marketing the natural resources of the
state and paying no attention to build
ing up payrolls.
Consumers and merchants must give
preference, on terms of equal price and
quality, to products of our factories.
If the manufacturers of Oregon can
grow to a size that will enable them to
reach out into other states, the increas-
ed business means bringing just that
much more money into the state in
which the payroll is maintained.
We have formed a habit of thinking
that the lumber industry is the back
bone and ribs of all our prosperity, and
yet several single factories in eompara-
lively small eastern cities carry more
people and pay more money in pay
rolls in the manufacture of one auto
mobile, than our entire lumber industry
of Oregon amounts to.
This is true of the Overland Automo-
bile eompany-it is true of several
others. Several auto tire factories may
be similarly compared.
And yet, if our lumber was diverted
to finished products made here, think
of the thousands that would be added
to our population to obtain the neees-
sary workers.
Oregon people must get in back Of
Oregon products and demand them from
merchants in all lines of trade.
