times.
Within a year from the sudden out

1911 the anks of British fighting men
were quadrupled BY an increase from
less than one million nearly 4 900. .OnU.
All other Great Powers that entered
the wiar had huge standing armies and
compulsory military service. Great Brit

that its people would readily respond 10

people and the government unanimous

POLITICAL POT

With only one moro day intcrven.

terest has become more active,
though Il ia yet confined largely to
the army OF candidates, Much talk
has been occasioned In the last few
days over the makeup Of tho demo
lcratio ticket. there being a number
OF active democrats who insist that
the party shall have n complete ticket
In tho general election, Candidates
appeared for only u few places on
the ballot before tho primary. but 4
wrlte-in campaign has been under
taken to fill out the list, Democracy
has pretty hard shedding In Josephine
county when II comes TO seeking Of
iiee. as It casts only about 700 votes
to 1000 for the republican candi-
dates, and the only hope OF democra-
tic candidates has been In the per-
sonal popularity OF individuals or In
the unpopularity OF their opponents.
The only office In the county held In
recent years BY democrat Is that OF
county Judge. Stephen Jewell first
held this Office by virtue OF his de-
feat OF NJ. ]. Anderson, the republi-
can nominee. and at the last election
Anderson was again defeated, this
time by c. G. Gillette. In this cleo
ton. with q normal republican vote

being third In the list.
II is therefore evident that with a
republican ticket OF men who can
command the vote OF the party. or
anywhere near Il. the democratic can
didate Is pursuing hopeless contest.
and few cared to enter into II, Tho
recently organized Wilson league has
put some ginger into democracy,

to center the strength OF the cam

There is considerable work being
done In the interest OF Attorney A.
C. Hough. who Is the probable nom
inee OF the democrats for state SEN
ator to oppose Smith or Lundburg,
whichever should win the republican
nomination. There has been consid-
erable discussion over the selection
OF man on whom to center the vote
for representative nominee. and Bob
Smith for a time seemed likely to be
the man. Many OF the democratic
leaders refused to stand for this. and
