Protest Against the Activities as
Directed of the Women's Party.

Six Oregon women, all prominent in
suffrage work regardless of party lines,
have arisen in protest against the
methods of the "twin lovely berries

the democratic party in the Northwest.
The women, Mrs. Frederick Eggert,
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, DR.. Esther Pohl

fled the letter, which was sent by Miss
Fendall on her arrival in Portland, and
which contained an offer to explain the
stand of the Woman's Party on the
present campaign. The answer writ

by the other five women reads:
"From the standpoint of our organi.
zation (the national American Women q
Suffrage Association) which has spent
years of patient endeavor in the cause
of suffrage, always from a non-partisan
standpoint, I, although ] am lifelong
republican, am convinced that there is
today no greater enemy to the cause, nor
hindrance to its final victory, than the
organization you represent, and which,
in my opinion, will hold back our final
triumph for many years. reiterate
my protest against your insults to the
manhood of America and your tactics
so damaging to the cause cf American

PRETTY GOOD SHOW.

The annual circus has come and gone,
Cooper Bros. show having exhibited
here Monday. The show, while not the
largest in the word was worth the price
of admission and provided very fair
class of entertainment. The small boys
say there was no black camel as adver-
tised and we have it from Dick Abram-
son that the loud noise in the side
show tent was not the roar of the king
of the African jungles but came from
horse fiddle in the hands of a roust-
about However, the acrobats were
there, the clowns with their sterotyped
jokes in plenty, the trained dogs and
the cute little ponies. Taken all in all
it was pretty good outfit and seemed
to please the fond parents who took the
children as well as making hit with
the kids.
