|Underwood's Chances For
the Democratic Nomination
sHOW THE PEOPLE ELSEWHERE FEEL ABOUT
THE SIMON PURE SOUTHERNER

Oh the nutmeg Democracys rank TO-
day is not Governor BALDWIN. NOR is
1t Governor harmon, nor Governor
wilson, nor Mr.. Clark. The strong
est man with Connecticut Democrats,
IN the opinion OF impartial observers
who go up and down the state, into
the factories and counting rooms,
through the length and breadth of
the farm lands, is Representative Os-
car w. Underwood. In every city and
considerable town of the state and
even out on the farms Republicans
are found who openly declare that
they would vote for the Albanian
in preference to either Taft or Roose-
velt'

IN OUR SOUTHLAND.

VIRGINIA. - Congressman Under
woods friends opened headquarters
for him some time ago in Virginia.
and the outlook is that Mr.. Under
wood will get the delegation from
that state.
NORTH CAROLINA-Mr Under
wood, the South's candidate, is sure
to carry the Old North State, for the
presidential nomination. This is as
it should be.-Lexington Dispatch.
SOUTH Washington,
D. c., April S.-Mr. j. F. Durham, a
prominent newspaper writer, has re-
turned from a trip to South Carolina.
He visited Charleston, Columbia,
Spartanburg, Greenville, Newberry,
Union, Aiken, Summerville, Orange
burg and other points. From his con-
versations with hundreds of people,
he says Underwood sentiment pre-
dominates and that Underwood will
get many delegates from that state.
The News and Courier, at Charles
ton, asks: What is the matter with
Underwood? Nothing, so far as we
know; nothing as far as anybody
knows, unless it is that Bryan hap
pens not to like him because he has
not been able to boss him
GEORGIA-Hon. w. T. Lane of
Americas, several times a legislator
from Sumter county, a prominent law
nd
says: Il am free to confess that while
| will support Wilson, the outlook
favors Underwood in this entire sec
ton of the state, and probably
throughout the state.
Mr. G. w. Tribble, editor of the
Calhoun Times, says: Personally, we
favor Wilson, but fear his nomina-
ton will bring defeat to the party. 1

the party"
FLORIDA-The Underwood senti-
ment has run roughshod over the Will
son boom, and it now seems as GER
tain as anything can be that Under
wood will get the entire Florida dele
gation.-Pensacola News.
ALABAMA.-Alabam has already
had her primary and Underwood got
the solid electoral vote of the state,
twenty-five.

give her electoral vote to Oscar W.
Underwood. Senator j. K Varda
man of Mississippi.
LOUISIANA-Mr Underwood has
won the respect and confidence not
only of the Democrats, but of the Re-
publicans, and his recent speeches on
the excise bill tthe bill to tax the
incomes of the rich) revealed a mas
terly knowledge of the subject and
overwhelmed his opponents.-Shreve-

TENNESSEE.-"S Senator Johnson
of Alabama returned to Washington
today from Tennessee, where he went
to attend the funeral of the late Sen
ator Taylor found the sentiment
in Tennessee developing very rapidly

NEW YORK ENDORSES
UNDERWOOD.
= = +*,++++++++ 1

Neither party has ever elected a
president without the electoral vote
of the state of New York. While New
York will have an uninstructed dele
cation, the New York state commit
tee has endorsed the record of Lead
er Underwood in the house, which in
dicates very strongly that they favor
bis nomination and election.
With four Democratic candidates in
the field, no one of them will go into
the national convention with anything
like majority of the vote Under the
Democratic rule it takes two-thirds to
nominate. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that the nomination will be secured in
the convention and any candidate has
an opportunity of getting the nomina-
ton
This is the first time in so years a
Southern Democrat has had such a
bright chance of getting the nomina-
ton. Georgia should, therefore, insist
npoh her preference and do all in her
power to give the nomination to the
Sun of her daughter state. Alabama.

recall variety. While Mr.. Underwood
is the father of tariff REVISION, Mr..

Vienna, Nov. 11.-Social demo
Gratis conducted a great anti-war
demonstration throughout the prov
inces of Austria and Hungary, urg-
ing the masses to hamper any mill
tary movement and to submit pas
sively to capture if they are called
out as part of the army. They de-
clare that thousands of workmen in
Russia will act in the same way if
the two powers come to blows.
Military men are most indignant
here at Servia presuming to defy
Austria's warning not to proceed far
ther into Albania and to keep her
hands off Durazzo, the Adriatic port
which both desire.
Reports that England has quietly
mobilized her fleet have also aroused

only Germany's influence is prevent
ing Austria proceeding to aggressive

Closing Work of Equal Suffrage
Club.

We have every reason to believe
that the work of the Ashland Equal
Suffrage Club is at end, and that we
have cause to rejoice.
When we organized it was deter
mined by the executive board that we
would practice economy, be careful
and accurate in every statement we
made to prOmulgate our views, and
appeal rather to the native intelli-
gence of the voters than to gain at
tention by anything erratic and spec
tacular. We believe our views were
correct in every particular, and that
the public were pleased with our con-
servative stand.
Dr.. Matte B. Shaw was exactly the
right woman for the presidency. She
was always discreet, tactful and
bound her officials closely together
Mrs. E. c. Gard, the treasurer, was
equal to any emergency and looked
after details in a painstaking way.
The five vice-presidents were all eX-
cellent Mrs. j. r. Casey was the
sunshine and optimism of the cause,
and when in the last days the secre-
tary was overwhelmed with work,
she not only came to the rescue but
impressed her belongings to the third
and fourth generation. Mrs. c. NJ.
Rowland, though on the outskirts of
the town, was ever ready to answer
any call. Mrs. C. B. Lamkin was a
power in herself, whether giving ad-
dresses or in experimenting decora-
much judgment and practical COM
! mon sense and together with Mrs.
Charles Gillette brought many things
to pass. Mrs j. j. McNair, our SER
geant-at-arms, though a dainty bit
of femininity, was a true daughter
of her mother.
| Our executive meetings were char
acterized with harmony and oneness
of purpose, leaving only pleasant
memories. For courtesies shown, we
have many thanks not only to those
liberalminded citizens who of their
own volition gave us financial aid,
but to the trustees of the Chautau-
qua, to many of our ladies, to the
fine Redief Corps, and to Mr.. and
Mrs. Minkler
We believe our cause was just and
that time will prove that the women
of Oregon are not only as patriotic
as well as intelligent as the men OF
Oregon.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

Don't burst into large space think
ing that its size will enable you to
put something over" on the public.
Let us consider the psychology of
large space. Things out of the ordi-
nary attract attention. Familiar OBJ
Jects in new garbs arouse curiosity.
When we come across a page adver-
tisement we infer it is something i'm
portant-the size or immensity en-
phasizes it. Our attention is at
tracted. If, upon reading, the ex-
planation warrants the attraction, we
are impressed and glad our attention
was called to it.
But what happens when our at
tention is misled? What happens
when we spend time in reading an
advertisement only to find nothing
new, but old, undesirable goods be-
ing forced on us like bitter pills with
a sugar coating?
Such advertising does the mer-
chant more harm than good. What
will he do when he really has some
thing important to offer? Won't
people think it's the same story of
wolf, wolf?
It's the advertiser who plugs right
along, telling the truth in his adver-
tisements, that wins. People read
his ads because they know he can
be depended upon, When he takes
large space it creates interest and
business because people know he
tells the truth.

ASHLAND HIGH SCHOOL
Personal Notes That Tell of Activi-

Professor Moore delivered a little
lecture, on Tuesday evening, which
he termed a pill" 1t was taken
very good-naturedly by all the stu
dents. He began by reading an arti-
Gle telling how the students of the
University of Alabama, objecting to
a ruling of the faculty that they
should not call on young lady friends,
had walked out in a strike. Some
of the seniors had been arrested and
the disturbance quelled by state
troops. Mr.. Moore cited this to show
with what firmness the laws of a
school should be enforced. He also
made some comparisons with neigh
boring high schools which showed
that Ashland has still some room for
improvement and asked for the CO.
operation of the students. The meet
ing ended with the singing of several
lively songs, including "Oregon" and
Dixie"
Tuesday and Thursday nights yell
ing rallies were held after school,
when several new songs and yells
were learned for the game with Med
ford. Friday evening the students
paraded down town giving the high
school yells and discoursing lively
music by the band. The band has
become a permanent fixture. 1t con-
sists of about twenty instruments
led by Professor Bush and Heinie

and preparation. In one division one
contestant on each side was still
standing when the period ended.
