PRESIDENT DEGREES
WAR TRAINING ISSUE
Asks House Democrats to Ig-
more This Point Until San
Francisco Convention

Washington, Feb. 9.-President vii
son opposes the plan to have Demo
cratic members of the House at thelr
caucus tonight make an issue OF uni :
versal military training.
The Presidents views are set forth in
letter to Secretary Baker, transmitted
today to House Democratic leaders.
The letter follows:
| am told that caucus OF the
Democratic members Of the House of
Representatives has been called to
consider pending military legislation
and the suggestion has been made
that a resolution be adopted commit
inf the Democratic membership of
the House against the policy of gen
eral military training.
In the present circumstances it
would seem to me unfortunate to
make party issue upon this sub
ject, particularly since within few
months the party will assemble in
convention and declare the principles
upon which it deems it wise to com
NIT itself in national election.
The present disturbed state of the
world does not permit such sureness
with regard to America s obligations
as to allow us lightly to decide upon
this great question upon purely mill
tary grounds while the demonstrated
advantage to the use of the country
which came from military service in
the war plainly suggest that in the
national interest, quite apart from
military considerations, the moder-
ate and carefully conducted course
of military training may have the
highest possible advantages.

will recall / gave my approval iii

SCARCELY 10 PER CENT OF VOTE
CAST IN PENDLETON DURING THIS
GENERAL APATHY SHOWN
With Exception of Republican
Presidential Primary Little
Interest Shown on Surface;
East End Contest wakes
Warmer.

Judging by the number of votes cast
in four representative precincts in
Pendleton at / o'clock today scarcely
more than 10 per cent of the register
ed vote in the city had turned out up
to that time. The voting stood as fol-
lows:
Precinct "A. Lincoln school, IS votes.
Precinct as. County library. 81
votes.
Precinct 81. Hotel Pendieton. 10
votes.
Precinct SO. City Hall. "a votes.
1t will thus be seen that in these
four precincts only 324 votes had been
cast. There are 13 precincts in PEN
dleton with n total registration of ap-
rroximately $500. 1t is therefore ap-
parent that the primary vote will be
extremely light unless an unexpected
squirt should be made this afternoon.
With the exception of considerable
quiet interest in the republican pres
idential race the situation today has
been extremely apathetic- The coun-
ty contests are attracting but little at
tention and the congressional race is
not proving exciting.
1t is understood that the east end
vote will be heavier due to a warm
contest over the republican nomination
for countw commissioner. both of the
aspirants being east end men.
The voting does not close until
o clock this evening and in many cases
for county commissioner. both of the
started until the election officials have
eaten supper.
