citation, which represents nearly 40,-
900 affiliated adherents In the state,
received by official count at the cleo
tion Of 1908 the Affirmative votes of
nearly $1,000 men. The association
claims that II never has been "de-
feated," as It's opponents allege, be-
cause women have never been allowed
to vote upon questions at all. It's ex-
ecutiye committee passed at the Oc-
tober meeting a unanimous vote OF
thanks TO the less than a dozen
wealthy and non-producing women
"antis," and their toadying satellites,
who pose as "the best people" for
having published at their own ex-
pense In the Voters Pamphlet. the
constitution as II stands at present,
side by side with the sucrage amend
ment, which speaks for itself. These
"antis" are fghting the amendment
because II opens the way wide enough
to admit all women to the ballot box,
and provides special clause, provid-
ing for their protection as taxpayers,
II at any time they should desire to
vote. They are also worried lest the
supreme court should declare the
amendment unconstitutional when
adopted.
The amendment provides for the
elimination OF the word white from
the state constitution, and will, when
adopted, make 1t conform to tho
constitution of the United States.
The Equal Suffrage Association is
taking no part in any of the political
strife that RACES among different or
ganizatlons Of men. IT'S adherents
offer, as their most urgent demand for
its adoption, the self-eyident fact that
the disfranchlsed labor of wage-earn-
ing women comes into ruinous COM

and women, and they respectfully
urge every honorable man TO re-
move this obstacle to prosperity and

that when he returned to Rome he

seat, oregon City, except to attend

tiers pertaining to the records. and
10 pay taxes, the latter principally.
Consult the map of both Clacka-
mas and Multnomah counties and
note that the proposed change is
based on natural conditions, equita-
BILE, and fair to all concerned. None
of Clackamas county's factories,
mills or power plants are set over
into Multnomah county by this
change, but remain with the old
county.
Those principally opposing the an
nexation are a few Office holdersa
politicians, abstract companies, law
yers and professional men of Oregon
City. The proposed change is one
of convenience and OF benefit 10
those interested in the territory 20
be annexed and is a just correction
of 'an error made in Pioneer days.
The change Injuries no one except
the Clackamas county abstract COM
panies and attorneys who do our le-
gal work which would be given 20
the Portland abstract companies and
lawyers, should the annexation car.
ry.
The territory to be annexed in
this bill is a narrow strip of land
laying between the Clackamas river,
Multnomah county line, Willamette
river and Mt. Hood.
Those opposing the annexation IN
Oregon City have been trying to con-
vince the voters of the state, and es-
peclally the voters of Multnomah
county, that this territory to be an
nexed is almost a barren waste with
very few couRty roads in 1t. The
people of Oregon City think this ter
ritory would be a good thing to hans
on to but a poor thing for Multno-
mah county to annex. The territory
10 be annexed is a rich piece of ter
ritory. with fairly good roads, well
settled with we'll to do people.
This territory to be annexed is
fast being cut into small tracts and
lots and selling from $50 TO $1,000
per acre, some of it adjoining the
city of Portland. Every year there
are more property holders here
therefore. more people being dis
commoded by being compelled TO 60

their legal business.
