TROLLEYS
 FAR IN THE
 LEAD AGAIN
Post Office Employees Favor the Double Service With Trolleys Above the
 Jitneys.

The trolleys took another big jump today in the Times vote bringing the total in the ballots sent into the office up to 451 for the trolleys against 317 for the jitneys.
 Post office employees, main office. voted The Times Trolley--Jitney con- test yesterday as follows: Trolleys IS jitneys 14, double service 19. This brings the total of all votes cast to 469 for trolleys and 331 for jitneys.
 One outstanding feature is the re- turns from the trolley-jitney votes today was the scarcity of jitney sup porters.
 Some of the remarks of the latter adherents were: Give us the jitneys. Did you ever see the trolleys on time? What about the strap hangers" @tJitneys by all means because of the better service and because of courtesy to the people" ''The only ones who prefer trolleys are the $15.00 per week clerks, that wear Prince Albert suits. Takes the | crease out of their trousers if they ride in the buses. Trolley supporters state: "I am tired and just cannot think | of anything awful enough to say about the jitneys.' ."Trolleys more healthy. Don't have to wait for trolleys long," | "I value my life. 1 'I was going to invest in a home ! but I will not invest cent unless ] the trolIeys are put on again. l Please give us the trolleys and wipe out the dirty filthy jitneys." | Safety first and comfort second .' l Safer, cleaner and surer."
 ''Trolleys best for a1l-built ur
 small towns with nice class of people i-jits cannot do it. 1 "Jitneys are irresponsible.' | Put the jitneys off the streets and | cut the nonsense.
 Put back the trolleys and give us | some good service"
 Every one is tired of the jitneys'
 Put back the trolleys for the sake l of common decency.' The jitneys are too dirty and give | no service.''
 Ut costs more to ride on a jitnes than it did on a trolley"

 Hartford, Aug. 1e-The legislature of the state of Connecticut may be called in session if Gov. Holcomb and his advisers believe, after a review of the present election laws that they are inadequate to give the election machin cry necessary to meet the sit uation caused by the franchisement of over S0o,00o women in this state That is the statement as given by Executive Secretary Buckley this morning. He said that nothing would be done in the matter of call ing a special session of the 1egisla- ture until after the official proclaim aton by Secretary of State Colby that suffrage had been ratified That would be in about two weeks after the Tennessee resolution has been approved by the governor of tha. state.
 When suffrage has been proclaimed and, if it is found that the state law does not provide sufficient means for making the greata crowds of voters the legislature will be called in special session.

WOMEN NOT MEN
 DESERVE CREDIT

Lynn ". Wilson said this morning in reference to the action by Tennes- see:
 woman suffrage being accom- plished. it remains to get from this revolutionary reform the early and the late fruits which it will produce. The nation, which has been govern ed by half the national mind, con- sents to be governed by the whole We have been, if not precisely half witted, something approximating that state, and being now whole witted will do better.
 "It is regrettable that Connecticut could not complete by it's act the chivalrous ratification of the Susan B. Anthony amendment, but no ap- plause is to be withheld from Ten nessee, which is advantaged in dig nifty and glory, because the political leadership of Connecticut is of the blind leading the blind.
 T am proud because I was not late in espousal of this cause, which I have supported politically and in the news papers I edited, during many years. I know how little the movement owes to men, except that they have yielded a tardy wisdom and slow justice The movement has been led by women. who are the equal of any leadership whatever..'

His despatch which was sent on Tuesday night declares the Bolshevik right wing also is in a bad situation.
 The maneuver executed by the Poles in their counter attack was an exceedingly daring one. the cores pondent declares. It consisted in concentrating heavy columns of troops and delivering a surprise at tack against the flank of the main Bolsheviki army. It was completely successful because of the ability of the Polish infantry in marching, and he asserts that ''very important con- sequences of the plan are expected.

Salem had the opportunity Sat
urday OF observing the true calibrt
of its high school, football team
when the red and black machine
met, outplayed, out-fought. out
thought and beat to earth Jefferson
high school of Portland. The score
of IA to 0, which the card showed
at the end Of the game. is not snf-
ficiently indicative of the decisive
defeat which Coach "Tubby" Hen
bricks fighters meted out, for at
least another touchdown was due
the Salemites. When the session
ended it was Salem's ball on JEFF
ferscr's 10-yard line with four
downs in which the local backs
would have had the opportunity Of
piercing the Portlander's dereEss.
1t was a good game from the first
to the last whistle, but there was
no time during the session that Sa-
lem's goal was seriously mennced.
The local team, enuualed in weight
by the visitors, was rivaled In no
other department by Coach Qu;g-
ley,s men. The Portlanders fought,
as best they might, and charged
fast, but they were simply olt-
On line bucks they could
not make yardage through the .Sa-
lem defense, their end trips were
usually terminated with losses, and
attempted aerial attacks were ut
.erly futile. The visitors lacked the
necessary punch which the Salem
-eam displayed throughout the
afternoon.
Ashby, receiving the ball on his
,wn 25-yard line at the opening of
he game, was dowred before he
had run it back for more than five
ard. And then, from it's own Gel
ard line, Salem began it's initial
march down the field. The Jcffer-

At no time during the game lid
the. Salem team allow its fighting
spirit to slump. During the second
period, Hendricks made number
of substitutions. and it was with
obvious reluctance that the Jerk
ed' men retired. Penalties, freely
administered to both teams. fell
heaviest on the over-eager Salem
ties, and it was, perhaps due to
these setbacks that the local eleven
failed to run up higher score. "A
