East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-12-21

The notes to the belligerents are
prefaced with this instruction by Sec
retary Lansing to the American am
bassadors presenting them:
"The president directs me to send
you the following communication to
be presented Immediately to the min
lister of foreign affairs of the govern
ment to which you are accredited"
Text of Notes Given.
The text of the notes themselves
then begin identicalIy as follows:
''The president of the United States
has instructed me to suggest to the
| Chere is inserted a designation of the
government addressed) a course Of
action with regard to the present war
which he hopes that the government
will take under consideration as sug-
gested in the most friendly spirit and
as coming not only from a friend, but
, also as coming from the representa-
tive Of a neutral nation whose inter"
ests have been most seriously affected
by the war and whose concern for It's
early conclusion arises out Of a man
ifest necessity to determine how best
to safeguard those interests if the war
is to continue"
At this point the texts vary. In
the notes to the central powers this
paragraph follows next:
THE suggestion which l am in
structed to make the president has
long had it in mind to offer. He is
! somewhat embarrassed to offer it at
this particular time because it mas
seem to have been prompted by a de-
sire TO play a part in connection with
the recent overtures of the central
powers. 1t has, in fact, been in no
way suggested by them in its origin
and the president would have delayed
offering it until those overtures had
been independently answered, but for
the fact that it also concerns the ques-
tion of peace and may best be consid
cred in connection with other propos-
ais which have the same end in view.
The president can only beg that his
suggestion be considered entirely on
its merits. and as If II had been made
in other circumstances"
Allies Notes slightly Different.
In the note to the entente allies the
following paragraph takes the place
of the one just quoted;

from every point of view he is more
than Justly entitled to receive the very

he is also a member of the Hamilton
Club of this city. In his race for the
nomination for Auditor of Public Ac-
counts he has so far visited rs coun-
ties out of the hundred and one coun-
ties in this state and he will visit the
other 26 counties before he ends his
campaign. He has travelled thousands
of miles by auto, thereby enabling him
to come in close contact with the
voters. The Swedish American Repub-
ican League Of Illinois at its meeting
at Peoria the first part of last March,
443 delegates present and voting highly
endorsed him for the position he is
seeking.

Hon. Julius johnson of Moline, Hi
nois, Republican candidate for the
nomination for Auditor of Public Ac-
counts for this state was born in this
grand old state, April Is, 1871, at
Lynn, Henry county, where his highly
respected and honored parents who
were among the early Swedish settlers,
still reside. He received his early edu-
cation in the public schools of his ma
tive town, later on in life attending
Augustana College, Rock Island, Illi-
nois, after rounding out his education
he returned to farming for several
years and in time he became actively
interested in a newspaper and in large
manufacturing industries at Moline,
Illinois.
From time to time he has held vari-
Gus responsible positions in the Office
of Secretary of State, the State Treas
urer, the State Insurance Department
and other branches of the state service,
therefore he is thoroughly familiar
with the business of the various state
offices and departments, having a wide
acquaintance in all parts Of this state
and in every way he is just the man
to nominate for Auditor of Public 'Ac-
counts.
For more than twenty years he has
worked very hard for the success of
the Republican party at all times, but
this is the first time that he has been
a candidate for an elective office and

#bLITIcAL FIGHT BETWEEN o. LOWDEN


The reatest of all the contests in
the hi bry of this state for the Repub.
Hcan bminatiOn for governor is rap
idly awing to a close. There is no
questi1 IN in our mind about it that the
fight r the long to be remembered con-
test between Col. Frank o. Lowden
and Eol. Frank L. Smith, the leading
and successful banker of Dwight, ILL.,,
who has for the past year travelled
over every inch of ground in this state
pleading with the people and the
voters in particular to fold their polit-
ical tents and march under his banner
and to say the least he is a very for
midable candidate and there is no
trouble for anyone to figure it out that
he is very much in the running, that he
is an up-to-date clear or level-headed
business man-that he is accustomed
to handling large affairs and being
very wise or keen for his day and
generation that he would come mighty
nigh making a tiptop governor of Illi-
nois.
The Negro Fellowship League at it's
recent meeting highly endorsed Col.
Smith for the nomination for governor
of this state.
So it will be up to the managers and
the supporters of Col. Lowden, in his
race for the nomination for governor
to beat or head off Col. Smith and this
they feel that they can easily do and
they freely contend that there is
nothing to it-that it is all over right
now but the shouting-that Col. Low
den will be the next governor of Illi-
nois.
The followers of the Hons. Charles s.
Deneen and Roy o. West made a grave
mistake by not hooking or grabbing
onto Col. Smith for if they would have
been wise enough to have observed the
handwriting on the political walls,
far different story would have been
written on September IA, the morning
after the primaries, in relation to their
political fates.
