THE MONMOUTH NORMAL.

The straightforward, dignified
course which is being pursued by the
friends and supporters of the Mon
mouth State Normal School in the
present campaign is winning the re-
spect and good will of voters every
where. The school is standing square,
ly on its past record of usefulness and
is asking to be judged solely upon it's
merits 1t makes no other appeal for
support.
When one reflects that the leaders
in the campaign for recognition of
this school are it's old graduates, many
of whom are numbered among Ore
CONS most prominent and influential
citizenry, the thought naturally sug-
gests itself that these men and women
must feel that the training they re-
celVed there has been Of value to
them; that they received something
there that was worth while. These
graduates are not only giving freely of
their time in their effort to restore the
school to its rightful place among the
educational institutions of Oregon, but
they have donated the greater part of
the money needed in placing the ques-
tion before the voters of Oregon at the |
coming election.
The Monmouth school has been
closed less than two years, but already |
the loss of its influence for good is be-
ing felt. Trained teachers were never
so scarce and never so greatly in de-
mand as at the present time. The |
Normals of Washington and Califor-
MIA have been quick to profit by the
conditions caused by the abolition of |
such schools in oregon, and the in
ducement held out to our young men
and young women to avail themselves
of the opportunities for training offer
ed by the schools of our neighbor
states has made itself felt. The Nor
mails of Washington and California
have been crowded in the last two
years with oregon students, by far the
greater number Of whom have sought
and found positions in those states
after their graduation. The result is,
trained teachers are hard to secure at
any price In this state Even the num-
ber of unframed teachers is rapidly
growing smaller, as the lists Of appll-
cants for certificates in the various
counties OF the state Will show 1t is
condition far from desirable, and
one that can only be remedied by Civ ,
ing to the Normal School system of /
this state its rightful recognition.
The bill for the ere-establishment OF I
the Monmouth Normal School pro- ,
vides a fixed amount TO be appropriat- '
ed each year for the support of the $
institution. This amount is equivalent I
to tax of one twenty-hfth OF mill ?
on each dollars worth of taxable I
property in the state. II you are as I
sessed at $1,000. your share of the t
Normal tax would be cents a year. y
Who is there in Oregon that would
be unwilling TO pay such trifiing {
pay II cheerfully-for D
the better education OF the boys and Il
girls Of the state? The Observer is b
of the opinion that the number will be Il
found small indeed. once the provis- 81
Ions OF the proposed measure are p
thoroughly understood by the voters. h

ROOSEVELT DEFEATED
BEATEN FOR CHAIRMAN OF NEW
YORK CONVENTION.
state Central Committee Elects Vice
President Sherman by Vote
of 20 to is.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelts NAM
was presented for the office of tempo
rary chairman of the Republican Stat,
Convention at the meeting of the Re
publican State Committee in New
York, Tuesday, but his selection fol
that honor was lost by vote of 2(
to IS.
President James S. Sherman
was named as Temporary chairman OF
the coming state convention by a
unanimous vote, following the unsuc-
cessful attempt to make Colonel
Roosevelt the temporary chairman OF
the convention.
The committee selected Saratoga
and September 81 as the place and
time for the convention.
After the committee had been call
of the state convention chosen, Will
liam j. Barnes, Jr., of Albany, offered
a resolution presenting the name of
Vice-President Sherman for tempo
rary chairman of the state conven-
tion. Lloyd C. Griscom moved to sub
and also moved that the vote be post
poned until later.
After much debate, the motion to
postpone was defeated by vote of 12
to 23. The resolution to make Colonel
Roosevelt temporary chairman was
then lost by vote of 20 to Is, follow
ing which Vice-President Sherman
was unanimously chosen, Mr. Griscom
and Henry Mack of New York not
voting.
VIII Contest For Delegations.
Between now mad September 27 it is
expected a struggle between the organ
ization and the Rooosevelt-H Hughes
forces will be carried into every cor
ner of the state, the chief issue to be
at the primaries for the election of
Roosevelt or anti Roosevelt delegates
to the convention.
Whether Vice President Sherman
lent his support to the movement
which resulted in Colonel Roosevelt's
defeat is not entirely established. Ma
tional Committeeman Ward, one of
the leaders of the anti Roosevelt COM |
oine, is quoted as having said Sherman |
drew plans to endorse him for tempo
'ary chairman. Others say Sherman
knew nothing of it.
Lloyd G. Griscom, who presented
Roosevelt's name before the conven-
ion said, II do not know whether to-
lays action will have any effect on

ress the hope of a harmonious settle

rogressives and the "old guard" but

that they desired me, but my Z
