Former Editor Of 0regonian
Is Out For Wilson

Portland, Or, Oct. 3O.-''I am going
to vote for Woodrow Wilson because l
believe the best interests of this coun.
| try will be served by keeping him in
office"
Judge w. Lair Hill of Berkeley, Cal,
lifelong republican and former editor
of the Oregonian, made this declaration
yesterday afternoon on his arrival in
! Portland on u business trip. He Is at
the Imperial.
al have been republican all my
life,' said Judge Hill, "and | stin be.
lieve in the republican principles, par
ticularly in respect to the internal rev.
enues of this country. But in this elec-
tion | consider the man, realizing that
both of the great parties of today are
protectionist, although there is a diff
ference of degree
Most Courageous Since Lincoln
Woodrow Wilson should be reflect
ed because of his exceptional fitness to
carry forward the aspirations, ideals
and traditions of this country.
''In my opinion he is the most cour-
ageous man since Lincoln.
''His handling of our foreign rela-
tions alone proves this. There are two
known ways of settling controversies
with foreign power. One is by an
interchange of views and exchange of
written opinions. This is called diplo-
macy. The other way is by force of
armies and battleships. That is called
war.
Wilson Chose Diplomacy
Woodrow Wilson chose the first
way. He pressed his contentious
through diplomatic intercourse and he
may have been somewhat slow in gain
ing his point, but he did gain it, and
that is what counts. He held to his
course; he never weakened; he braved
the displeasure of his own party and
resisted the urgings of those who would
have a war for their own profit. De-
spite the seedlings of the makers of
armament and the dispensers of canned
beef, he kept this country out of war.
He withstood the kicks of those
who would kick us into the line of war
and SO / think him the most coura-
geous man since Lincoln,''
Republicans for Wilson
Judge Hill terms the Hughes cam
paign in California failure. 81 would
not go so far as to say that Wilson
will carry California" said he, 'but
know many republican that is going
to vote for him.
"Californians were disappointed in
Justice Hughes and it, would have been
far better for his personal fortunes in
my state if he had stayed away. Great
est criticism is made of him because he
did not tell how better he would have
handled the affairs of the country at
the time he was criticising the admin
Iistration of President Wilson"

In speaking upon the resolution in
troduced with reference to the bridge
at Salem, Walter Tooze, Jr., advocated

An agreement was drawn up between

and communication from the Marion
county court TO the Polk county court,
September 80, calling the attention of
the court of he necessity of taking some
action. Levies have been made in both

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad BLOOD, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes catarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism;. and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause Of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. 1t has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.
