laughed at something Mr.. Lockwood
had said and pretended to be entirely
engrossed in my partner. 1 think l

After the dance and Mr.. Lockwood
had returned with me to my friends, he
fingered few moments and chatted
with Burton He had complimented me
most fulsomely on my appearance, ad-
miring my eyes, and my hair, also my

WHICH PLEDGE WILL HE KEEP?

The Oregonian thinks the statement made by the
Capital Journal to the effect that Candidate Wilson's
Endorsement of equal suffrage like many other of the
things he does for the purpose of getting votes is
joke. 1t is not joke but the truth Mr. Hughes knows
his party platform is, far the equal suffrage plank
is concerned practically the that of the demo-
cras and that it leaves the matter entirely to the states
Mr. Hughes knows that his party is not bound by his per-
sona pledge and that he make this pledge with safety
without being in danger of being called upon to do any
thing. Our big contemporary asks us to express an
opinion to what caused Woodrow Wilson to declare
for women suffrage-by states" Of course cannot
look into President Wilson's mind but it is than
probable he took that because he believed it
the proper Because he believed that the quickest and
srest way for to the ballot is through the
states rather than by federal enactment Because he
knew that until enough states had been over to suf
frage it would be injury to the movement rather than
help to have the constitutional amendment submitted
with the chances in favor of it losing, until sufficient
number of states had favored to make its passage
tain Mr. Hughes knows his personal pledge is worthless
as against his partys stand in convention only few
months ago. Mr.. Hughes indorsed that platform when
he accepted the nomination at the hands of the
ton nominating him. Will the Portland paper state
which pledge Candidate Hughes intends to keep that he
made to his party that he made to the women?
