Political Speaking.

Charles l.. Faust, candidate 70.
Congress from this district, accompa-
MED by Merrill r. Otis, Mrs. II. NJ.
Robertson and Mr.. ana Mrs. T.. A.
VonArb, all of st. Joseph, on their
way home from Mound City, Tuesday
evening Of this week, stopped in Ore
gon, and a meeting was soon arranged
Considering the fact that our loca
people were unaware of the party's
coming and that they did not arrive
here until nearly 1880, a good crowd
was present, and listened To the able
address Of Messrs. Faust and Otis ano
Mrs. Robertson. Judge n. NJ. Dun
gan presided. Mr.. Faust discussed the
national problems, touching upon the
League of Nations and other problems
confronting the public today, and he
impressed Us as being the best candi-
date either party has had up for Con-
gress in many years, and that the
Fourth Congressional district has
the opportunity Of being represented
in congress by such a man, We feel
safe in predicting his election by a
substantial majority. Mr.. Otis spoke
upon state affairs and told Of the
great necessity OF electing Arthur NJ.
Hyde as governor in order that Mis-
souri, may be given the much-needed
housekeeping politically that she so
badly needs, and especially in st.
Louis and Kansas City. Mrs. Robert
son spoke for few moments, urging
the women to vote, and explaining
why she was Republican.
II is to be regretted that our COM
mlttee here was not apprised Of their
coming in order that the meeting
might have been advertised and a
larger crowd present. However, We
trust II may be possible for them to
all return for another date before the
campaign ends, but be that rs Il may,
We feel that our people are all Of one
accord---Charlic Faust Is the right man
for Congress, and II he is elected,
which seems to be certainty now,
the Old Fourth Congressional district
will be represented as It has never
before been.

rected to the stand of the bureau
with regard to information fur

not making recommendations that
cannot be safely followed.
As proof Of the bureaus position

pertinent station. in which the prac-
tice Of combining the dormant and

batting experience also, and is cap
tanning this team. Roy H. Johnson
debated two years in the local high
school, and this is his second year
representing the local college in
debate.
A goodly measure OF the credit
for the work being done by the
teams is due to the efforts of their
coach, Professor Albert F. Schers-
ten Of the English department.
Professor Schersten has coached
debating teams for several years,
and is doubtless the best man that
could be secured for this kind o.
work.
