Hearst and Bryan as Chalmers.

In one of the recent daily Interviews
which Bryan has been giving since he
overcame his natural reluctance and
consented to be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination in 1908, he in
Inmates very broadly that President
Roosevelt and other republicans high
in national Office have borrowed his
doctrines" 'plagiarized his policies. -
or as he expressed it "stOle his clothes
marka BILE attitude is also frequently
assumed by the yellow journalist
Hearst, who in spite of his professed
withdrawal in favor of Bryan is quite
likely to force himself upon the Dem
ocrats as theirs nominee in the next
presidential race. Whenever any Re-
publican does anything that meets
with particularly warm approval from
he people of the country, either Bryan
on Hearst, or both of them. promptly
pipes up with the declaration THAT is
my policy-I saw it first
that there is just enough truth in their
claim to hOodwink many people who
do not bother to look beneath the slr-
face of things. AS Bryan is talking all
the time. and as Hearst has half a doz-
en- newspapers in which he daily makes
la noise like man talking, both are able
to assert priority of opinion on almost
anything that becomes current Amy
man who scatters his fire widely enough
can do. the same. Neither Bryan or
Hearst is embarrassed by the fact that
they have expressed themselves on
many subjects in a way that they are
anxious for the country to forget
Hearst might claim a copyright on
anarchy and assassination, and Bryan
might assert his claim to the original
and exclusive announcement of the 16
to l doctrine, and the program OF
abolishing the Supreme Court. Both
are political quacks whose strong suit is
in the heart Of advertising themselves.
The claim that the popular policies
executed or promulgated in Washing
ton under the present administration
are in any way their own could as just
ly be made for the writings of Thomas
jefferson or Laura Jean Libby.

A Setback to the Suffraqists.

The complete returns from the Oregon
election show that the defeat of the wo-
mems suffrage proposition was much
more overwhelming than was indicat-
ed by the earlier figures and much more
decisive than when the matter was
voted upon by the people of the state
half a dozen years ago. At that time
the womens suffrage amendment to
the constitution was defeated by only
2,137 majority. and the suffragists car
ried q counties in the state. At the
ment was again submitted to the vot-
ers of Oregon and was rejected by
1918 majority, while the suffragists
carried only 10 counties. The reports
say that the suffragists put forth ire
mendous efforts throughout the state
this year, with speakers and the funds
imported from outside, and in view of
their great activity the largely in
creased majority against them is most
significant.
Oregon has an active organization
composed of women who are opposed
to the extension of suffrage to their
sex. and this association took an active
part i'm the campaign. putting speak
ers on the stump and circulating many
thousand pamphlets among the voters.
No doubt the activity of this organiza-
| ton was an important factor in the
| result, for in Oregon as elsewhere men
are less then ever inclined to vote in
| favor of women's suffrage. when they
see that the women themselves are di-
| vidcd upon the subject, and that
\ great part of them are actually OPP
posed to it, with doubtless a still larg-
err PROMOTION utterly Indifferent in the
matter. No doubt if the women IN
| Oregon had been united in demanding
the ballot it would have been granted
them before this time; and the same
can be said for that matter, OF almost
any of the states in the Union. Last
winter rs usual certain women OF Mas
sachusetts asked the Legislature to give
the ballot to the women of that state
but their appeal was met by a vigorous
protest from the Massachusetts AS
ISOLATION Opposed to Further Extension
Of Suffrage to Women. This organiza'
ton is composed of more than 12,U'
women in $50 cities and towns OF the
commonwealth and they secured many
more signatures of women 10 their pro
test than the suffrage advocates couie
secure for their petition.
