REPUBLICAN LEADER
QUITS TO GIVE HIS
SUPPORT TO WILSON

SPOKANE. Wash, Nov. IL. Roy
Slater of Spokane, first assistant
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee for Washington and chairman
of the republican county committee
for Spokane, has resigned his offices
with the Hughes committees and an.
nounced he will vote for Woodrow
Wilson.
As first assistant chairman he had
charge Of the Hughes campaign in
the eastern part of Washington. The
state chairman has his headquarters
in Seattle. But Mr.. Slater became
convinced that Hughes was in the
hands of the same old reactionary
crowd of politicians which the pro-
gressives fought at Chicago in 1912
and he refused to support him long
er.
Mr.. slater was = delegate TO
republican national convention in
1919 and went with Roosevelt into
the progressive party. He followed
the colone back into the republican
party and was given a place high in

SINNOTT WILL BE
CLOSING SPEAKER
Republicans viii Hold Final Rally
Monday Evening at Oregon
Theatre.

With Congressman y. ]. Sinnott as
the speaker of the occasion the repub-
licans will close their campaign in
Pendleton with a rally at the Oregon
theatre Monday evening. The band
has been engaged for the occasion and
efforts will be made to secure good
turnout so as to make fitting climax
to the campaign.
The following statement of local
republican hopes was made today By
w. c. f. Pruitt of the Hughes orga-
nization:
With the campaign practically
closed we are confident of victory at
the polls Tuesday, not only in Una
tilla county and the state of Oregon,
but the nation at large. The only
question is how big will the majority
be. We want to make it an old-time
republican landslide, we want to
make it an old time Lincoln, McKin-
ley Roosevelt majority; and that
can and will be accomplished if every
voter gets out TO the polls Tuesday
and casts his vote. This is all that
remains to be done and we expect
every republican to do his duty in
that respect We will make a clean
sweep for the county ticket from top
to bottom and return such convinc-
ing majority for Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Fairbanks that will show the demo-
cratic administration with its narrow
view point and its fallacious policies
that It is not to be tolerated by the
voters of Umatilla county"

ELECTION RETURNS
REFUTE COMMITTEE
Weston school Mas Cordially sup
pog1e(l by Pcndlcton When ON BAL
lot; Ingratitude i shown.

Charges made by a committee at
Weston that Pendleton was unfriedlN
to the old Weston normal school In
the days when il was before the peo-
pie are refuted by figures from the
elections of 1910 and 1914.
In 1910 the Weston school was up
on the ballot for reestablishment and
was vigorously supported by the East
oregonian and by most Pendleton
busine ssmen. The vote in Pendleton
was Yes. 7OS; No 247. In 1914 the
school was again up for reestablish-
ment and the Pendleton vote at that
time was Yes, s5e; No. 5S5.
Since the Weston committee has
charged Pendleton with unfairness to
them Il is being recalled here that
when the legislature left the Weston
school without funds in 1909 a large
part Of the money that had to De
raised to continue the school year
vas raised by public subscription IN
Pendleton.

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-Britain,
France and Germany do not show the
slightest evidence of ending the war.
There are innumerable indications
that the struggle will last much over
two years longer. Lord Northcliffe

The British land forces wont at

summer. France is not exhausted.
Germany admittedly wants peace bad
ly. but desires peace now because she
believes herself nearer victory than
any belligerent will be again. The
Germans ridicule the idea tht the al
lies can penetrate the Rhine defens-
es. They believe Britain's allies will
be bankrupt before they can reach
the Rhine.
Great Change in Capitals.
The past eighteen months have
worked great changes in the capitals.
Paris is brighter and nearer normal.
The war is still the engrossing idea.
Berlin is almost sombre. The noisy,
exaggerated confidence is gone. 1t
has been replaced by grim determina-
ton. Prices are soaring. The war is
monotonous. The government and
army are not criticised and no fear
is manifest.
The average German only consid-
ers a favorable peace and wants
peace creditable to the Germany that
conquered Belgium. Poland, Serbia
and the richest district of northern
France.
London is Transformed.

Summarized briefly Baker outplayed
the visitors in every department. At
straight football. forward passing, end
runs. punting and in team work they
excelled. and the Pendleton defense,
while stiff at times. was not sufficient
to hold them in check. on the other
hand, Bakers defense was like stone
wall and Pendleton only once got the
ball inside the 30-yard line. Bakers
goal was never threatened. Captain
Fosbury. Whipple. Fleetwood, How

for Baker and forming the second
line defense, backed up the lin in
great style. Dewey Rand shown
brightly in williams defense. but Rud

Douglas, Dec. 14.-The sack
containing nineteen ballots of Viii
gus precinct in Cochise county, at
the November election, thought to
have been lost and not officially
counted, was discovered today in
the office of the county treasurer
at Tombstone.
1t was explained that the sack
had become mixed with others
which had been checked, when the
county chairmen were at work and
had been stored with the others in
accordance with the state law But
for the contest on the governorship
the sack would not have been dis
covered, for a long time at least.
It will be taken with seal intact,
as received from the election board

Treasurer H. S. Ross. The un-

Makes Visit to Prescott

Mr.. H. w. Etz returned the first
part of the week from a trip to
Prescott, having accompanied there
an old resident, Lewis Land, who
was admitted to the Pioneers
Home from this section. Mr.. Etz
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the courtesies shown him and
the manner in which the home is
kept. Everything is in fine shape,
neat, tidy and clean, with every
convenience for the benefit Of the
inmates. The home occupies a fine
brick building located upon an
eninence commanding a view of
Prescott and the surrounding Coun-
try, with electric lights, running
water and all modern conveniences.
It is supported by state appropria-
tions and there are now about forty
old timers making their home
there. The inmates of the home
are we'll kept and fed, and highly
praise Supt. Wrenn for his interest
in their welfare.
Mr.. Etz there met with an old
time resident of Benson, Samuel

stitution for about six years past.
He inquired about the town and
people here and showed a lively in
terest in his former home.
