Official returns of this years vote
in the several states show a remark 4
ably large decrease from the vote
OF 1916. The slump in the democratic
vote is so great, so much greater
than that in the republican vote, b1y1
iticians are unable to explain il. %J
diana affords an illustration. In that|
state the Democratic loss was &c.
800. as against a republican loss OF
only 39,79S.
Women who are interested in poll

In all speculation as to who may
figure in the 1920 presidential con-
test every prediction in respect to
the candidate OF either party has to
take into account probable action of
two men, Wilson and Roosevelt. Any
attempt to choose a candidate for
democrats would be futile ii mental
reservation were NOT made as to
what Woodrow Wilson might do;
and in the same manner Theodore
Roosevelt must be kept in mind
when anyone casts about for cam
didatc to be nominated by repub-
Leans.

Rambling Around
Political Ranges

Under a resolution adopted by the
house OF representatives there is to
be an investigation into the Na,.oupl
Security League and its activities.
The resolutions preamble charges
that the National Security League
is "A cloak for libelous attacks on
public men," that it tried to defeat
candidates for the house and senate
in the recent elections, but failed TO
file the statement OF money spent in
campaigns as required by law; that
the league has put out tons of pro-
paganda demanding compulsory mil
itary training and that it inspired
criticism OF the presi-
dent, the secretary OF war and OF
congress through this propagan-
da.

Illinois and Ohio are two black
spots in the republican national map
that are worrying party leaders who
are getting ready for the presidential
campaign OF 1920. Prospects would
be bright for the election of a re-
publican president if the republican
factional disturbances in those states
could be ironed out. The authority
for this is Will II. Hays, chairman OF
the republican national committee.
Illinois has twenty-seven votes in
the electoral college, and Ohio twen-
ty-four.
There is to be an election in Eng
land next week and how thoroughly
cut and dried it is expected TO be
may be inferred from the long list

An example OF the laws delays is
afforded by the congressional con-
test case of Wickersham VS.. Sulzer.
The house elections committee has
Just announced its decision that
James Wickersham, republican, is
entitled to a seat in the house as the
representative from Alaska. Wick
ersham on the face of the returns,
was elected i'll 1916 over Charles A,
Sulzer, Democrat, by forty-seven
votes, but Sulzer obtained the GER
tifcate of election after court litiga-
ton in 1917, and since then has oc-
cupied the seat.

Marion County Sells
Most War Thrift STAMPS

Portland, Ore, Jan. 8.-Disregarding
Multnomah county in the comparisons,
Marion county leads all other of the
state in war savings stamp sales for the
week just passed, having distributed the
little stickers to the value of $17 1924.
Washington county did second best,
achieving total of $14,28954.
Counties which absorbed the war saw
ings and thrift stamps to the value of
about $4,000 during the week were
Clackamas, Douglas, Lane and Linn.
Wednesday, when the aggregate of sales
reported was $11 1856.
Stamp sales for the state of Oregon
to date were reported Saturday at head
quarters as 3,734.76. 1t was not until
the first week in January that the sale
total reached the half-million mark,
hence the difference indicates the speed
ing up of the campaign achieved by
the state and district leaders.
State Distributor jesse D. Currey, yes
terday announced the appointment of
Guy W. Talbot to be commissioner of
" two-bit" clubs for the state. He will
assist in getting organized and under
way large numbers of the popular clubs,
in which members pledge to purchase

week, or at any other interval agreed
upon.

Commission Refuses to
ResCind 6 Cent Fare

The Public service commission today
in reply to a request of the city com-
ell of Portland that the commission re-
scind its order establishing a six cent
streetcar fare in that city, stated its
position, and suggested that if the
council would ask rehcaring on the
merits of the ease and show that it
can present evidence that the commits
sion s order was erroneous and with
out justification the case would be re-
opened. IT stated clearly though that
this would not be done for the purpose
OF having the jurisdiction of the CON.
mission attacked. That Attorney Gen.
eral Brown, who is the commission g
legal adviser informed the commission
it had power to increase the r~tcs de-
spite the agreements made in the fran
ehise; that it had jurisdiction, and
the commission stands on this opinion.

Detroit Citizens Are
Up In Arms Against
Southern Pacific Co.

Roy Robinet of Detroit, was arrest
ed last week ON the charge of using q
speeder on the Southern raeific com
pany's track leading to that place.
Rcbinet appeared before Justice Web
ster this morning, pleaded not guilty
and demanded q iurv trial. The case
is set for Friday morning at 10 0 clock
1t appears that Robinet is only one
out Of q large number who have been
using speeders on the S. p. company 5
track. In fact, it is authoritatively
stated that there "are about fifty
speeoers in Detroit. - Almost every
BODY living in Detroit who wants to
get in and out of town owns a speed
er.
And the reason is this: In the win
ter time the mountain trail leading
from the outside world to the httle
mountain town is impossible and the
only way to get in and out is by rail.
Only one train a day travels to and
from Detroit. The residents of the lit
tie city and the farmers along the way
find it necessary that they travel more
frequently than this and so the larger
part Of them own speeders which they
use.
When a rock rolls down mil sac
and lodges on the track, or when a
tree blows over and blocks the train,
the farmers gather and remove the OBJ
struction. Sometimes the train crew
never know anything about it. The
farmers and citizens do this to help re-
pay for the use of the track for their
speeders.
But some special agents for the s.
p. company heard ABOUT it and Roy
Robinet was arrested The company Is
to make an example Of him. The peo-
pie of Detroit are up in arms and are
going to fight the case.
Attorney Carson of this city, has
been secured TO defend Mr.. RObinet
District Attorney Max Gehlhar viii
represent the state in its prosecution.
The trial promises much interest.

also stated that he believed Mr.. Sar.
gent knew better than anyone the
needs of the department and was bet
ter acquainted with banking people.
He felt such confidence in him that
he as a member of the board felt that
the best course, in the interest of the
state would be to ask Mr.. Sargent to
Select a man for his successor, and
that the board should appoint whom.
