yesterday and by evening contained
40 names, including some of the most
prominent students. IT Is understood
that the president Of the. student body
and editor of the college newspaper
are back Of the movement. The mo-

to attack any church or religion, but
merely to give the students so in

plan of procedure will be to allow any
member to introduce an accredited

While this is not a direct result Of
the recent discussion, the students
that are Interested in such things feel
that they should have the opportu-
nity to free discussion.

PENDLETON HIGH TO
MEET COLUMBIA JR.
LOCAL BOYS PLAY
MILTON TEAM TOMORROW
Both Teams Have Defeated Walla
Walla High to 0 and Great Battle
Is EXDected-General Shalxeup in
High School Team--BOth Ends Out
OF Game.

Pendleton high schools football
eleven will engage in another big
gridiron struggle tomorrow afternoon
when the boys from this city will go
up against the team Of the Columbia
Junior College Of Milton. The game
will be called at 3 o'clock and will
probably be refereed by Principal
Keefe of the Weston high school, who
coached the Normal team, last year.
As both teams have defeated the
Walla Walla high school by the same
score, 6 too, the struggle tomorrow
afternoon should be battle royal. In
the past the high school has had lit
tie difficulty in handling the Milton
eleven, but II is apparent that things
are to be different this year. Never
theless the local players feel conf
dent of being able to carry off the
victory.
There has been a general shake-up
in the local lineup since the game
with Walla Walla, two weeks ago,
and 1t Is said that the team has been
greatly strengthened by reason of the
changes. II is also said that it will
be strengthened still more before the
Baker city game. which is yet two
weeks off.
The lineup will be different tomor-
row from what 1t has been any time
this season, but it is probable that
more changes will be made. Bowman
has been moved from right half to
right end and Manager Bean has
been moved back from center to half.
Finch and Milne, who have been
acting as subs up to this time are now
on the regular team and will care for
the two guard positions.
Struve has been moved in to CEN
ter from guard, while Graham has
been moved out from guard to tackle.
Snyder and Jordan are the two men
who are out of the game, parental
consent to play having been with
drawn
The remainder of the team will oc-
cupy their old positions. These are
Hinderman at tackle, Kimball at
quarter, Devine at full, Thompson at
half. The subs will be Boylen, Stur-
dvant and Carol.
The changes which have been
made will give more weight in the
back field without materially weak
ening the line, This will have tend
ency to make the team stronger on
the offense, while It's defense. will be
just as strong as it has been in the
past.

Trenton, Dec. 13:-There was q
lpirited conference of democratic
leaders of the state at the Trenton
House Saturday afternoon, followed
by dinner and speeches by eminent
democrats at night in a movement to
devise plans to carry the next elec-
ton and wrest from the republicans
the political control of New Jersey.
The affair was arranged by the
auxiliary committee of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, and there
were about 200 in attendance, in
cluding members of the Democratic
State Committee, the auxiliary COM
mittee, the executive committee, the
executive committee of the Fedora
tion of Democratic Clubs, chairmen
OF the democratic. county commit
tees, democratic members and mem
bers-elect of the legislature and ed
itors Of democratic newspapers

Mayor George Hampton, OF Bridge
ton, presided at the conference, and
Ray d. Mayhem. of Railway, presi-
dent of the Democratic League Of
Clubs, was secretary. Otto G. VIE
rum, of Montclair. pfecipitated a
heated debate which nearly disrupted
the meeting when he opposed the
proposition of the popular election
Of United States senators.
Former Congressman Allan Benny,
Of Hudson county, said a platform
should not have been presented at
this meeting, which was confer
ence, not a convention. After more
Hpeechmaking~ the platform was re-
ferred to the next conference, to
meet at the call OF the chair. The
platform in the meantime will be
printed and circulated.
A feature of the conference was
the prominence of younger men In
