Will Cox and Wilson Reach
Agreement on Their
Campaign Issues?

MARION. Or. July 1.-THE inter
ests Of republican leaders here are cen
tered today on the outoome of the con-
ference to be held tomorrow between
President Wilson and Gov. Cox. the
democratic nominee.
There IS much speculation as 10
whether the two will reach an agree
ment on the campaign issues. President
Wilson's friends are insisting that the
league of nations shall be the para.
mount issue of the democratic cam
palgn- 1t IS assumed that they are
speaking for the president. Admittedly
President Wilson insisted that the de-
mocratic platform should carry vindi-
cation Of his league and demand for
its ratification without 'tnullifying" re-
servations.
Gov. Cox announced two reservations
that he desires to see written into the
draft of the league covenant. He says
they are designed to safeguard the L.
S. against being drawn into war without
action by congress.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 1T.-Four
distinct problems confronted the special
session Of the Indiana general assembly
as il got down to business on its sixth
day and what some legislators stin hope
will be It's final day. These problems
are:
Adoption of the administration tax
IegalizinE bill in the senate, or substi-
tuition Of the farmers measure in its
stead
2-Action on the s1o,ooo.oOe war ne
mortal bill possibly with a popular rel
erendum string attached
s-Action on amendments 10 the IN
stitutional Appropriation bill, most OF
which il is understood the governor
wants stricken out.
-Introduction of measure providing
for the governors proposed coal con-
troll commission
While it was said that no agreement
had been been reached in the senate
caucus. which extended until long after
midnight, there were strong indications
that the legalizing principle. which Is
the vital part Of the Tuthill tax bill
passed by the house. would be discarded.
The farmers" bill is in high favor
among the senators and the word has
leaked out that Gov. Goodrich is not
opposed" to the farmers tax measure
and that he even considers it lot bet
ter than his own. Administration lead
ers admit that passage Of the farmers
measure would exercise a strong "dra

TO FEATURE AT FAIR

The Fair Board this year is com
posed of r. NJ. Dean of Nyssa presi-
dent. V. T. Herrett of Vale, vice
president, and V. " Hlckox OF on
tario secretary. All of these men
are practical farmers and believe in
improving the quality of the stock
raised in this section and believing
that the County Fair is the place to
awaken this interest In good live
stock they have offered big premiums
to stimulate the movement for bet
ter breeding.
Many Fine Races
The amusements at the County
Fair this year will surpass anything
ever offered before There will be
trotting races every day. Three
running races and one relay. AL
ready there are over twenty race
horses at the track with promises OF
many more to come. The purses
offered are good and this should be
lively race meeting.
Prizes of 5000, $3.50 and 500 are
offered for the best riders in the
bucking contests. The idea is to have
local riders from Alalheur. Grant,
Harney and Baker Counties In Ore
gon and from Canyon, Payette, Wash
ington and Adam Counties In Idaho
This will serve to eliminate the pro-
fessional riders and make the con-
test much more intei esting.
