 For Legislature Alone
 "Sutherland's campaigning ex- elusively on the Controller Bill, drew Grigsby's criticism, on the score it was matter purely with ing the province of the Legislature and on which it was qualified to act without any advice from the Delegate. This bill. he pointed out, does not cover the principle of Home Rule as viewed by the Democrats. He made 1t plain that he did not deem the measure an issue in the Delegate campaign.
 "The speaker endorsed h s partys national candidates and said Gov. Smith is friendly to Alaska because of the support giv- en him in the last two national conventions by delegates from tho Territory. Grigsby said the Dem ocratic national platform promises the Territory the right to legislate on subjects of local concern, in cluding both fisheries and game, which is real Home Rule"

The statements in these two dis patches, above quoted, regarding the measure of support that MT. Grigsby is receiving. confirm simi- lar reports that had been received here earlier last month from vari- ous reliable sources. A prominent attorney from another Alaskan town, who was in Fairbanks when Grigsby visited there about the middle of September, while here recently said he was making many votes there and predicted he would carry that town.
 This sentiment was also voiced here last week by passengers en- route south from interior and vest ern points at which MT. Grigsby had stopped briefly on his way to open his northerly and interior vote drives. Generally it was agreed that his campaign is real effort and that it has many fndi- cations of being successful.

GALES PROPOSES
ORGANIZING PARTY.
Former President Calls on
Mexican Revolutionary EIe-
ment ito Save Republic"

By the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, December 3.-Fof-
mer President Gales is head of the
organizing committee of the new Rev
dictionary Party" of Mexico and has
issued a manifesto to the public calling
upon all revolutionary elements" to
Join the formation of great national
political party.
The manifesto declares that its sign
ers-1nembers OF the organizing COM
mtttee-are convinced that If lin this
historical moment for Mexico" strong
political parties representing various
phases of public opinion are organized
the republic will be saved from the
anarchy toward which. otherwise. GER
tain personal ambitions might lead it."
It is pointed out that the late PrCSi-
dent-elect Gen. Obregon was the only
Chieftain with a strong enough person.
atty to be able to solve the problem
of the presidential succession, and that
now he is dead and strong personalities
are lacking, it is necessary to create
organized political forces to control
public opinion and support the gov
eminent.
Then it is asserted that the revo-
mticniSts, through the former Presi-
dent. Senior Gales. are seeking crgani-
cation both Of themselves and Of parties
representing opposing schools of politi-
cal thought, such parties to be founded
on strong principles in order TO "estab-
lish true democracy within the insti-
tutional life Of the country"
1t is announced that representatives
of all clubs. parties. societies, etc. of
revolutionary nature will be summoned
to attend a national convention at
which organization of the 'revolu-
tionary party" will be sought.

appointments to such a board would
not turn out to be wholly satisfactory
to the Western rural element.
Another important consideration
weighing heavily in Senator McNary'S
mind is that President-elect Hoover
may desire to begin his administration
with farm-relief machinery entirely of
his own manufacture. Even If the
McNary bill were to become law at the
short session. its provisions would be
carried out during the early months of
the Hoover administration.
Senator McNary Concurs.
If Mr.. Hoover believes-as many of
his friends are sure he does believe
that an agricultural program, for which
his administration will have to bear
responsibility. should be executed by
Hoover appointeeS, Senator McNary is
disposed to act on corresponding lines.
In that event the Oregonian will let
his bill repoSe in the agricultural COM
mittee. give public opinion, the press
and farm leaders an exhaustive oppor-
tunity to study it, and then. at the
special session, to which President-elect
Hoover is already committed, promptly
pilot the measure to enactment. In
other words" as the Senate agricultural
CIldHHldH puts IL 10 JnlS writer, If
Hoover wants farm relief to be ex-
clusively his own baby. 1 am not only
willing but am frank to say there
would be reason and logic in such
position"
Another Phase Considered.
1t is now plainly indicated that farm
relief will be a double barreled promo
sition on Capitol Hill during the next
few weeks. Not only does the agri-
cultural group plan to drive for Fed
eral aid in handling the surplus prob
len' put there is to be strong effort
to enforce immediate upward" revision
of the tariff on farm products, SEN
ator Arthur Capper. Republican. of
Kansas, is leading the forces behind
the tariff drive. His argument is that
the farmer cannot afford to wait for

Pressing of Measure at Short

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Farm relief at the impending short"

mite intimations to that effect are forth

author of the McNary- Haugen legisla-
ton of recent years.
If Mr.. Hoover would rather have the
necessary bill enacted at special Ses-
sion of Congress. to be called by him
after March 4 next, his wishes are to
be respected Meantime a McNary
farm-rciief measure will be introduced
as soon as Congress opens and referred
in routine manner to the Senate agri-
cultural committee. Action on it will
be pressed, with a view to early adop-
ton. only at Mr.. Hoover's expressed
desire. The moment the PreSident-eleCt
is back from South America, Senator
McNary plans to elicit his views bring
them to public attention and shape
Senate agricultural action accordingly.

ed provision IS missinfi The result,
Senator McNary feels, while not eX-
actly what he would like, is a bill
which President Coolidge would un-
questionably sign and which is also
acceptable to President-elect Hoover.
In that otherwise satisfactory ointment
there is an important fly which gives
Senator McNary pause. The execution
of the contemplated relief measures
