OREGON TO FURNISH.
A TEST OF HUGHES
Name Of Justice on Ballot There
Despite His Effort to Have
II Cancelled.

Despite the desire Of Justice Charles
J.. Hughes to keep his name off the
ballot, the oregon primary elections OF
May 10 will furnish q direct test OF the
Hughes strength In a state where ne 10
yIrtually forced to be n candidate.
Word has come to oregon members or
Congress that Justice Hughes name
IL gong on the ballot. that the supreme
court OF the State has so decided. and
that the nominators of Justice Hughes
will not withdraw his name. as request
cd. The oregon vote will be the first
didacy.
The Oregon primaries will he moro
Indicative of tho strength OF the
Hughes boom than the Massachusetts
primaries today will reflect the Roose-
welt sentiment In the Bay State: Justice
Hughes name Is 10 be % the oregon
ballot and no voter may overlook II.
The colonei's name Is not on the Msssa-
chusctts ballot although there y a sen-
eral understanding throughout the state
that a vote for Gardner ct al Is vote
for the colonel.
Not Fault Of Hughes.
II is not the fault Of Justice Hughes
that his name remains on the Oregon
ballot. When he was informed that
he had been nominated In that Pacife
Coast State. Justice Hughes promptly
wired the secretary OF state asking
that his name be not printed on the
ballot. This course Justice Hughes had
followed In Nebraska and AMY
else his name was proposed.
The secretary of state OF Oregon was
about to comply with the request OF
Justice Hughes when one Wallace Nc
Camont. a Hughes supporter. went into
court with the declaration that tho Sec
retary Of state had no right TO remove
the name of Justice Hughes from the
ballot. even at the request Of the justice
himself.
Burton arc now on the Oregon ballot
Under this law.
Fourteen hundred Hughes supporters
petitioned the secretary OF state TO have
Hughes name printed on the ballot. and
when McCamont claimed that this pc
tition made II obligatory upon that Of
fetal to print the ballot with Hughes
thereon the courts OF Oregon upheld Nc
Camont. That enthusiastic Hughes sup
porter got out a writ OF mandamus
against the secretary of state in order
TO bring about the printing OF Hughes
ballots.
The issue between McCamont. repre-
senting the Hughes boomers. and the
secretary of state. in reality represent
ing the desires OF Justice Hughes. was
heard by the entire bench OF the SUI
preme court OF the state OF Oregon
TIE secretary OF state was ordered "a

There seems TO be considerable
opposition TO the building of a taber-
nacle just now. and unless we can
have unanimity of feeling 4,
would be burden on a few. There
fore II seems best at present to have
a church revival. and later on work
for a big tabernacle. II is hard TO
get first class man. as they are
generally engaged several months
ahead.
At the meeting Wednesday night
at the Methodist church IL was de-
cided that the pastors OF the differ
ent churches submit the question of
holding a church revival to their
congregations next Sunday morning
Then the pastors would meet Mon
day. and II the vote was favorable
proceed to make the necessary ar
rangements
Then the next step would be for
the pastors to take up the matter
OF a date for a big tabernacle meet
ing with the big evangelis,s OF the
world and find out what dates are
open.
Let the work be divided up and
each pastor write to a list OF men.
and report their labors at a general
meeting OF the churches. In the mean
time let us all work Loyalty together
In spirit OF love and brotheriy af-
lection. and for the cause of Christ.
Let the good feeling that has here
tofore existed between the churches
continue. We are all working for
The one great purpose-the saliva
tion of all the world-so let US all
pull together.
Some time next summer or fall.
when We can get first class man.
let all work together and have a big
revival.

SIR BOB HILLlARD
AND THE COSMlC
CRAVING.

Enter Bob Hilliard Having put The
pride of Race" across IN the lace OF
tho gloomy wiseacres, Mr. HillIard now
knows exactly what the public wants.
"They want strength, virility, vital
Interest,"" cries Bob, picking out the
dominant qualities IN The frlde OF
Race" "They want IT in everything
statesmanship, literature, art, love ana
above all, the drama. They want the
realism that is real realism. That does
not mean a perfect imitation OF sh p
or a room on the stage. IL means real
ity in the human emotions, conceived
by the playwright and expressed Dy
the playwrlghts lines.
Realism, for some reason or an.
other, has been too much associated
with the question of scenery. Scenery,
speaking absolutely. is nothing. 1t IS
ike q dinner attractively served. Inc
dinner is as good without the good ser
vice. and hungry man will ENJOY II as
much: with good service 1t IS more at
tractive, more luXurious-but 1t IS no
better intrinsically.
Realism must exist in the theatre
but II must be the work Of the writers
Of plays and the actors therein, not OF
the scene painters. Let them suggest
do artistic work, or Simply pdi"b "'""
tiful frames for plays. as does Joseph
Urban, who catches the motif OF the
real realism in a production and makes
his set 10 fit that, thus proving himself
n truly great artist. The vision or the
real artist Is vision Of soul, not OF body
and the people. my dear friend, the
people. who those overwhelmed with
intellectual pride say cannot appre-
ciate the spiritual, see those things and
feel them and raise the man who
knows and understands and produces
the great things Of the mind far above
themselves and the rest Of the world.
"The people love strength, real good
ness and the truth. The cynic satirist
can laugh at that an he pleases, but
my experience with The Pride Of Race,
the salient characteristics of which are
strength and truth, are an absolute
proof OF IL. | have dealt with the pub
lie for thirty years, and think that /
am entitled 10 say what the pubic
wants. o.,
at wants. first Of all and last Of all,
YOUR faith in its own good judgment
If you have that faith you will never
be lost"
