Following Mr.. Weatherford's talk,
Mrs. o. II. Barnhill made strong
talk in favor of prohibition.
Mr.. Weatherford divided his talk
between defense of the wilson ad-

before the voters of the state at the
coming election. He confined his

Grants Pass Beet
Factory Starts

The Grants Pass beet sugar fac
tory, the Rogue River valleys new
million-dollar industry, started the
run on the 1916 beet crop Monday
of this week and big force of men
will be employed from now until the
last beet is turned into sugar. The
beets are coming in from the various
districts by the carload, are averag-
ing high in sugar content, and every
thing points toward a huge success
for the sugar industry in this valley.
The price for beets has been raised
to Sc a ton, and no doubt, encour-
aged by the success of lower valley
growers, a number of farmers of this
district will raise beets next year.
One factor which has become appar-
ent is that irrigation is necessary to
beet growing.

Charles E. Hughes Wins After
A Heated Joint Debate

dent Wilson, to whom he bears a
shrinking resemblance in personal ap-
pearance. Referring to the charge
that congress had been coerced into
passing the eight-hour law for rail
road employees, attention was called
to the fact that more than once in
previous years congress had been Co
creed by the capitalist class into pass
ing laws in favor of our moneyed
aristocracy, but this was the first
time that congress had been coerced
into passing legislation favorable to
the laboring classes.
DR.. Brewer, speaking for the So
ciaIists, surprised his audience with
his eloquence and earnestness. Evi-
dently he had a message to deliver,
His chief plea was to substitute an
industrial democracy for our present
political democracy Politics is such
rotten mess that it isn't fit to be
mentioned in polite society. This
country will spend next year over
$500 100000 for our army and navy,
twice as much as Germany spent the
year before the war. The spending
of such huge sums for militarism will
inevitably lead to war. We shall
fight because we are ready, just as
Germany and other European coun-
tries are fighting because they were
ready AS the Oregonian says, the
people who own the industries of a
country are its real rulers, and nearly
two-thirds of the wealth of the United
States is owned by two per cent of
the people.
| o. c. Boggs made a strong plea for
the republican party, saying that hard
times nearly always accompanied
/ democratic administrations, and that
when the present was was ended
much of our present prosperity would
vanish and that we should need a
higher protective tariff than we now
have to hold our own in the indus
trial competition which will follow.
As for the eight-hour law, that was
passed in favor of a class within a
class, a highly organized set of rail-
was employees, already the most high
ly paid of any similar workers. The
new law does not really make an
eight-hour day, but merely gives ter
hours pay for eight hours work. If
the railroads had made a similar de-
mand, accompanied by a similar
threat to stop the wheels of commerce
and travel, congress would not have
considered for a moment yielding to
their demands.

One Of the best and most interest
ing political meetings of the present
campaign was pulled off by the Mems
Social Service League at the City Hall
Tuesday evening. The room was en-
tirely filled with interested listeners
who gave all the speakers a cordial
welcome and only regretted that they
could not hear the latter at greater
length. The straw vote taken at the
close of the meeting resulted as fol-
lows: Hughes, 81 Wilson, 26; Han
ly. 49, Benson, IL. When the vote
was announced Homer Billings threw
his hat in the air, jumped up and
cracked his heels together and yelled
for Hughes, apparently regarding the
election of that gentleman as an as
sured fact. A number of democrats
drjfted in after the Weatherford
meeting and helped swell the Wilson
vote. The prohibitionists demon
strated that they held the balance Of
power, and the socialists said is they
did as we'll at 1.-The coming election, in
proportion, they would poll over two
million votes. Everybody was in a
good humor and there was an entire
absence Of that bitter partisan feeling
which used to mar so many meetings
of like nature in years past.
o. H. Barnhill won first place on
the program and made an earnest
plea for the dry candidates, eulogiz-
ing Governor Hanly and briefly re-
viewing the prohibition platform
The old parties were roundly scored
for their completely with the liquor
traffic. and attention was called to
the fact that the discipline of the
/ Methodist church and the highest
voice of most other churches declare
that no political party should receive
the votes of Christian men so long
as it refuses to put prohibition
plank in its platform. Prohibition
was claimed TO be the greatest issue
before the American people today,
since it entailed direct loss of near
ly two billion dollars annually and at
least as much more indirectly, to say
nothing of other and greater evils
which can not be measured in money.
Hanly does not expect to be elected
this year, but he does expect to poll
enough votes to make it an object for
one of the leading parties to place
prohibition plank in its platform at
the next general election.
John Fuller, representing the dem
ocratic party, devoted most of his
time to describing and praising Presi-

Says Voters Know
New Normal Need

"For the first time in Oregon's S
history practically every paper IN the
state is working for the establish
ment of more normal schools in Ore
gon." said Fred Lockley, a Portland
newspaper man who Is spending
few days in Ashland in the interest
of the proposed Eastern Oregon state
normal school at Pendleton.
"The Portland dailies are endors-
ing the measure editorially and CIV
ing a large amount Of news space 10
the measure. The country papers and
the papers in the smaller cities are
working Loyalty for the establish
ment of the Eastern Oregon school.
Practically every educator in the
state is at work for the measure for
they realize that the educational
standard of Oregon can only be rails
ed by providing trained and expert
enced teachers for the public schools
of the state. They also realize that
the only way in which trained teach
ers can be secured is to provide nor
NAL schools in which they may rer
ceive their training. They also realize
that to be successful normal school
must be in live, wideawake CITY
where there are plenty of pupils in
the public schools to furnish practice
teaching for the normal studnets.
That is why they believe Pendleton
should have the normal school. That
is why a normal school should be
established in Ashland. Both cities
are centrally located in the area to
be served. Both cities has a splen-
did and up-to-date school system with
sufficient pupils to afford abundant
practice teaching facilities. Both
cities are well equipped with trans
portation facilities and. both cities
have a progressive citizenship heart
ily in favor of higher education.
"The children in the rural schools
of Eastern and Southern Oregon are
at present compelled to employ un-
trained and inexperienced teachers
because the Monmouth normal school
does not graduate more than 10 per
cent of the teachers needed to full the
vacancies occurring each year, and
the graduates of the Monmouth nor
NAL find schools in the Willamette
valley. A normal school at Pendle-
ton and one at Ashland will supply
teachers for the rural schools OF
Eastern and Southern Oregon and yet
will in no way effect the attendance
or success of the state normal school
at Monmouth for these schools will
draw students from their immediate
environment who do not now attend
the Monmouth.
"The voters generally realize that
the time has come to provide our
schools with trained teachers for af-
ter all is said and done the success
of the school depends largely upon
the skill, training and experience of
the teacher"
