Touch to Equal Rights
War Cry

y
Vote for Me- rather than Votes
for Women was the label of the
ballot box beside which the candi-
dates in the Portola Girls Tour Con-
test We're photographed yesterday
The 23 nominees were given their
final Instructions before the opening
Of the contest yesterday afternoon.
and today the all important chap
eron probably will be selected.
Passing before motion picture
camera. they started out to visit the
store Of Shreve. Treat & Eacret to
see the diamond ring to be given to
the girl who finishes at the head of
the contest. The ring has been
changed from $3.50 diamond to a
s45e circlet.
VOTES COST / CENT EACH
Then they posed for pictures on
the roof of the Hotel St. Francis, and
after that jourHeyed back to the Por-
tola headquarters, where it was ex-
plained that votes will cost 1 cent
each, and may be bought In books of
500 coupons, and then announced
that one more girl had been entered
in the contest, Miss Katherine Nell
ligan from the -zinkand cafe.
Miss Victoria Cassanos says that
being a candidate in the Portola girls
tour contest is like running for office.
because the campaign managers have
everything down to such a scientific
basis when 1t comes to lining up
votes. She is the nominee from the
Phelan building.
LINE UP VOTERS
There are all sorts of clever ideas
that Miss Cassano is using. and
William J. Hogg, former commodore
of the Corinthian club, who is her
manager, believes that she will finish
so close to the front that IL there are
any ahead of her they Will be good
enough to run for governor or presi-
dent
Miss Cassano and her manager are
sending out personal letters ITO their
friends to see that they are lined up
to vote the right way. She is a MEM
ber of the Young Ladies' Institute
and will endeavor to obtain the as
sistance of that organization.
All Of the girls in the race for the
10 days trip through the northwest
as guests of the Portola festival com
mittee are making strenuous efforts
to get their forces whipped into line.
Twelve VIII make the trip. Some of
the candidates are having dances
given in their honor. others are taxi
ing advantage of the chain letter
system. and still others refuse to
make known their plans for fear some
rival viii use them too.
Among the extra prizes is a $3.50
diamond ring. The Porto1a girls will
visit Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle. Ia
coma and Portland. returning in time
for the opening of the October fete.

| the Wepb bill has become an aetna
enactment, and Arizona has passed
law which gives at least an ag
gravation to the original resent
ment of the Mikado.
Interpretation Leaves No Doubt
II was made quite plain that the
orators at Toxic anG al all the anti
American meetings in Japan had
construed the word ~OIcnse" in a
way that could leave no doubt al
all in the mind OF Secretary Bryan
I3r President Wilson. They reflect
aeon -ately what was probably said
by Ambassador Chinda in his con
yersations" with the President and
Mr.. Bryan, that the word 'otfense
meant that the Cnited States was
trying 10 degrade the Japanese into
the condition and international in
ferlority of the Monaghan nations
and other Asiatics who are less adj
vanced in the grades of civilization
than the Japanese.
All of the officials today there
fore frankly confess that ii the Mi
kakdo should insist on pushing TO
the front again his insistence that
tho federal government remove the
onense it is impossible TO tell what
step Japan will take within the next
forty-eight hours Many Of these
officials believe in spite of pacific
assurance that If the Mikado con-
cludes that the State Department
and the White House can give him
no satisfaction he may act suddenly
and try conclusions other than in
the diplomatic field to maintain his
alleged equality with the United
States and her citizens.
All the mists and fog which tbs
diplomacy OF Mr. Bryan has smear
ed over the Japanese American
quarrel were swept away today
when it became known that il wa:
