CAMPAIGN IN GERMANY

every effort to rally both male and
female voters in a gigantic protest
against BOlshcviSm.
Two weeks ago the indication p0in
ed to Il comfortable majority for the
social democrats, with the aid of votes
of both the Sheidemann and the Haa-
Sc party. The Spartacan ebullition in
Berlin however, has brought about IA
revision Of the election estimates the
revised view being strengthened by
the results of the local elections in
Bavaria, Baden, Wurttembarg and
elsewhere
1t now is considered highly doubtful
if the radicals jointly poll more than
45 per cent of the total vote, with the
chances it may be a considerably less
percentage. The bourgeois German
democratic party, accOrdinging to the
estimates, is likely to poll - per cent
Of the vote and possibly more. The
clerical@ and conservatives are be-
ing allowed 80 per cent in the figur-
ing, while the former national Hber-
ais may secure a scanty 10 per cent.
The women Of Berlin are earring

keenly alive to the issues involved

ponderance in favor of the socialist

The Spirit of New England.

President Eliot of Harvard told
this story recently at the inaugura-
ton of the new president of Smith
college, William Allen Nelson:
THE Levina Hoar scholarship for
the town of Lincoln (Mass.) is the
gift of an aged woman, the last of
her generation, who died last winter,
surviving but few years sister who
had been her companion through
long, frugal laborious, and inestim-
able life. The sisters had received
from their father many years ago, the
modest inheritance of $4,000. When
Levina Hoar died, leaving $4,500, her
whole property except a few memen-
tos of affection to near relatives, to
Harvard college, wherewith to main
,ain a scholarship which should by
preference be given to students from
the town where she had spent all
her days. This is the fruit of plain
living and high thinking. There
shine the virtues by which our
country has been created, by which
1t must be edeemed-industry
soberness, frugality, public spirit, and
the love Of home, of learning, and of
honor"
This is, or was, the spirit Of New
England, which was built of Harvard
and Yale. Amherst and Williams,
Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Middlebury,
Wesleyan, Smith and Wellesley, and
in 80 doing has spread enlightenment
and the love of liberty throughout
the land. Private gifts for public
purposes-that is the New England
spirit and where 1t is found, the
Commonwealth prospers
And why should not Whitman
college receive similar legacies? The
people Of the Pacific Northwest are
no less public spirited and generous.

belief in the necessity for the en-

Meeting Republican National Com.
mittee in Chicago Notable
Event.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-The meeting
here on Friday, the 10th inst, of the
Republican National Committee, was
one of the most notable gatherings
Ia party history. All the states were
represented by committeeman, in per-
son or by proxy, and unity and har-
nony were the watchwords Of .he
hour. Never before, so far in ad-
vance of a Presidential campaign,
was such general interest manifested
in party affairs, or such universal
optimism evinced as to the success
of forthcoming struggle.
One of the most notable and signi-
fcant features of the meeting was
the presence, in an official capacity,
of women. This is the first time in
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-01-30

the history of the organization of
either the old parties that women
occupied seats in the official sessions
of the Republican National Com
mittee They were admitted to the
inner councils of the party on proxies
and enjoyed all rights of regular
members. The action is taken to
mean that women will be urged to
take an active part in every branch
Of national Republican politics.
The women were Mrs Josephine
Corliss Preston of Washington, who
held the proxy Of S. A. Perkins, ma
tional committeeman from that
state, and Miss Mary Garrett Hay of
New York, who held the proxy of the
national committeeman from North
Dakota.
