"The young man replied he had not

several suits here lately so they ought

Booth Denies Statement.

R. A. Booth, republican candidate
for United States Senator, has nailed
campaign falsehood to the effect
that previous to the present campaign
he had not favored woman suffrage.
In two addresses on Saturday, one
before the Oregon Civic League at
Portland, Mr.. Booth said that he
voted for woman suffrage in 1884, the
year it was first submitted TO the
electorate in Oregon, and had con-
tinued to vote for it at each subse-
quent submission of the question until
its adoption.
