Women Will Help to
Make Campaign Lively

The women Of the United States are
expected to play a material part in
filling the war chests Of the Democratic
national committee, and also to add
zest to the anti-Roosevelt campaign
which the Democrats, recognizing him
as the chief menace to victory, pro-
pose to wage. These facts appeared
quite plainly at the enthusiastic meet
ing Of the Women's National Demo-
cratic League, which met at the Dewey
Hotel yesterday.
The next meeting will be held early in
September. when the real campaign for
money and for the success of the ticket
will be begun. Vice Presidents will be
named for each State. and an organiza-
tion OF the greatest possible strength
will be built up in each of the forty
eight States.
Miss Katharine Dabney presided at
the meeting. In the earlier meetings
many Of the most prominent women of
Democracy played important parts.
Mrs Stephen B. Ayres, Mrs. Chapp
Clark, Mrs. T. p. Gore, Mrs. Clarence
Watson, and Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby
have all taken deep interest in the or
ganization, and their energy Is relied
upon to aid in carrying through the
campaign until the November election
drops the curtain. More than one hum
dred Washington women have told Miss
Dabney that they will take an active
part in the local organization.

HEARST IN LONDON
DEFENDS PROPOSAL
FOR FREE CANAL
Editor Tells Englishmen That
Panama Is Domestic
Possession.

LONDON July 1S.-The London Even
ing Standard publishes an interview
with william Randolph Hearst under
the following introduction. IN black
face type: william Randolph Hearst,
the leading American publicit and for
mer member of Congress, vigorously
defends the United States proposal to
give preference to American ships using
the Panama canal; he also makes a
forceful plea for reciprocity between
Canada and the United States.' The
article proceeds as follows:
william Randolph Hearst, proprietor
of the New York American and It's asso-
ciate journals, In an interview with one
of our representatives today, indicated
clearly the opinion In America regard
Ing the action of the United States Sem
ate In proposing to exempt from tolls
all American shipping passing through
the Panama canal. Mr.. Hearst believes
that as the canal may now be consid-
cred domestic possession the United
States will not enter into arbitration on
the subject.
Mr.. Hearst's views were next sought
as to the result Of the Saskatchewan
ture Of reciprocity. Mr.. Hearst was the
foremost and a vigorous advocate of
reciprocity between Canada and the
United States last year, and the cleo
tors OF Saskatchewan have just w.
turned an overwhelming majority of
members In favor of closer trade rela-
tions.
The majority of the Canadians and
considerable number of citizens 5f
the United states were misled into fear
that reciprocity could. or might, Ge-
velop some injury TO one or both
countries Mr.. Hearst said. 1t is inev-
liable that calmer and more careful
consideration of the question will con-
vince these Canadians and those citi-
zens of the United States that an cx-
tension of trade relations, as proposed,
cannot be anything but benefit to both
countries.

CABINET MAPS OUT
CAMPAIGN PLANS
Wealthy New York Realty
Man Likely Will Be
Treasurer.

SEAGIRT, N. j., July 1S.--By to-
night important steps will have been
teken in mapping out the national
Democratic campaign. Today's pro-
gram includes tho selection Of a cam
paign committee, a treasurer, and the
Eastern and Western campaign head
quarters. Governor Wilson's guiding
hand was at the helm of the political
ship today as 1t was launched at a
conference with, these Democratic
leaders:
William +. McCombs, of New York,
chairman of the national committee
William Salisbury, of Delaware; Jo-
sephus Daniels, of North Carolina; A.
Mitchell Falmor, of Pennsylvania;
Joseph E. Davies, OF Wisconsin: Sem

man Of New York. william G. McAdoo,
Of New York, and Congressman Albert
s. Burlesen OF Texas.
These make up what is known as
Governor Wilson's "veranda cabinet"
Henry Morgenthau. the wealthy New
York real estate man, was regarded to-
day as the most likely candidate. for
treasurer. He is said to have made
generous contributions to Governor
The Eastern headquarters will prob
ably be located in New York and the
Western in either Chicago or Denver,
the former having the preference.
Colonel McCombs abs been empowered
by the national committee to name a
campaign committee of not more than
nine. 1t is significant that the men
brought here for the conference with
Governor Wilson form actually that
number.
Governor Wilson said this morning
that the question of his resignation
from the governorship would be dis
cussed with his friends, and that his
conclusion in the matter would then be

ceptance will be written early next

TEXTILE STRIKERS
DEFY POLICE ORDER
Gather At Mills, But Do Not
Molest Those Going
to Work.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass. July S.-De-
flying the police orders to keep away
from the mill gates. several hundred
strikers gathered in front of the Butler
mill today and made efforts to keep
workers from the mills. The crowd was
orderly, and the police did not interfere
during the early hours.
Chief OF Police Henry w. Mason said
today:
I'VE are able to cope with the situa-
ton. No call has been made for militia
aid. The 1900 strikers have so far COM
mitted no serious disturbances.
The heavy sentences meted out to
several strikers in court seemed to have
a quleting effect upon the disturbing
element among the strikers.

willing TO concede> the honesty OF those
who disagree with me.
II freely admit that II could not sup
port the head of the ticket honestly
and lawfully nominated, then I should
withdraw. l am not willing, however,
to permit this question to be decided by
few self-constituted and self-ap-
pointed leaders, particularly when most
of these self-appointed censors are
Federal officeholders.
'I was nominated for Senator at a
Statewide primary, and hold my COM
mission from the rank and file of the
party. As yet, I have heard of no man
who questions the honesty, regularity.
lieve 1t is my duty to carry out in
good faith the obligations which I owe
as such candidate to the rank and file
of the Republican party.
Believer In Recall.
II am, however, a believer in the re-
cali, and am willing that 1t should be
applied to me, and II, since my nomi-
nation, my course In refusing to recog-
nize Mr.. Taft as the nominee is un-
satisfactory to the Republicans who
nominated me, I am not only willing,
but 1 believe II Is my duty to with
draw. Under no circumstances can be
induced to support a man for ofnce
whose nomination l conscientiously be-
lieve to have been obtained by corrupt
and unlawful methods.
II would suggest therefore, the call
ing of a Statewide primary at which
this question shall be submitted to the
Republican electors of Nebraska. IL at
not sustained, my resignation as a can
didate will at once be placed In your
hands. l suggest that the same rule
be applied to the Presidential electors
In our State. 1 understand that most
of these electors, regularly nominated,
recognize Mr.. Roosevelt as the Repub-
lican nominee, and the balance recog-
nize Mr.. Taft.
"The rule should apply both ways,
and 1 suggest that as chairman of the
State committee, you call meeting of
all the Republican candidates for Presi.
Dental electors and attempt to have all
of them agree to abide by the result
of such referendum vote.
II suggest that this question: was
Mr.. Taft regularly and honestly nomi-
mated at the Chicago convention as the
Republican candidate for President be
submitted for decision to the Republi-
publicans voting decide that Mr.. Taft
Is the lawful nominee, then let the
Roosevelt electors withdraw, and their
places be filled by Taft men. II, on
the other hand, the decision Is against
Mr. Taft, then left the Taft candidates
withdraw and their places be filled by
Roosevelt men.
Wants Fair Contest.
"While understand you are one OF
those who believe that Mr.. Tafts So
called nomination was legal, yet I ain
willing to agree that you should not
only make the rules and regulations
that shall govern the contest, but In
case OF any dispute after the reteren-
dum that you shall pass uron all dis
puted questions that may arise. | am
only anxious that the contest shall be
honest and fair, and have sufficient
faith in you to believe that regardless
of your own pesonal opinion, you would
not countenance anything else. Yours
truly, GEO. w. NORRIS"

Yesterday afternoon a little girl with
pretty hair flying in ringlets about her
face, and blue eyes that laughed al
most as eloquently as her voice,
mingled with the children on the Mt.
Pleasant playground, on Park road
near Fourteenth street.
When the children filed away the
little girl was left. The playground in
structors did not know to whom she
belonged. and the little tot was unable
to tell them.
The police were Immediately notified,
but they had no reports indicating that
children had been lost. The playground
superintendent placed the little girl In
+the care OF Mrs. Scheer, and she had
stayed there contentedly since yesterday
afternoon.
Since then the entire playground force
and the police have been trying to find
some one who has lost a little girl, But
whoever has lost her has not told the
police, and the baby remains unidenti-
fed.
Mrs. Scheer will keep her until the
parents Of the baby claim her.

RAILWAY BUSINESS
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

The business of the railways for
September while showing a consider
able improvement over that of Septem-
ber 1911, does not maintain the rate of
increase set by the record breaking
month of August, The total net oper-
ating revenue of 80 per cent of the
steam railways increased $5, 1896, $40 for
September, while the increase for
August was 1866, 622. This increase
in net operative revenue was at the
rate of S2l per mile of line for the
month or at the rate of 70 cents per
mile of line per day.
The total operating revenues per
mile of line for the month increased
6.5 per cent, the operating expenses
7.3 per cent and the net operating rev.
enue 81 per cent.
The foregoing statistics are from
the summary made by the Bureau of
Railroad Economics from the reports
of the railways to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. A special commit
tee OF the railways having headquarters
in Chicago reports that bills now pend
ing in the Federal Congress providing
for an increase in the number of en-
ployees of the railways and for the
rapid substitution of steel for wooden
equipment will, if enacted, place the
railways under an additional expense
of approximately S12, 900, 600 per an
mum for the former, and a total ex-
pense of S632, TAG, 900 for the latter
purpose. Without compulsion, the rail
ways in the course of three years have
increased their steel equipment $50 per
cent and their steel underframe equip
ment 256 per cent.

UNIVERSITY HOP BRIL-
LIANT SOCIETY AFFAIR

At the hour Of FIVE O'Clock Saturday
morning one of Hood Rivers gentle
men was heard to say. as he trod the
hard concrete sidewalks, vending his
way home from the University hop.
IN bet that TeIpsiehore had corns on
her feet" However. that deyotee to
the rythmic dance, when she didn't go
barefoot, wore sandals, and the man
had a new pair of dancing pumps. But
everybody was happily tired; for ev-
erybody had good time at the Uni
versity dance last Friday evening.
The festivities lasted until the wee
small hours. However, when the
morning came, the Hood River business
men worshipped at the shrine of the
Little Red God, of which Randall
Howard tells US IN the Country Gentle
man, and after eating several plump
apples were ready for the tasks of an
other year.
1t was a beautiful dance. The brill
lianey of the eOor of the gowns of the
fair dancers as they whirled in the
mazes of the waltz and two step in the
big Heilbronner ball room formed
beautiful picture.
The ball room was beautifully decor
ated. For almost week Phil II. Car
roll, r. W. Kelly ana AL. w. Peters,
the members of the dance committee,
had been busy with the decorations.
The dancing floor appeared as the bot
tom of some woodland dell. Small fir
trees were placed around the entire
hall and the orchestra was hidden be-
hind bank of eyergreens. During
dances the lights of the large globes
Illuminating the room were turned off
and hundreds of tiny green and red
bulbs twinkled on the green Of the
trees. The Eancers seemed to whirl in
fairyand.
A refreshing punch was served
throughout the evening from huge
ice cascade reared in one corner of the
room and shortly after the midnight
hour a course luncheon was enjoyed.
Each year the University club dance
forms the climax of the social season. |
Numerous smaller private parties are
given for the attending guests. Many
people who spend the winters in the /
east delay their departures until after
the dance.
Out of town guests present at the
dance were Mr.. and Mrs. C. C. Car
penter, Miss Frances Nelson, Miss
Helen Driver, Miss Miner, Miss Boyer.
Henri de Reding, Rev. Remington,
Hon. John k. Latourette, Miss Lucille
Smith, Robert Nelson and MISS Laura |
