OF the Presidential Campaign
This Year
ORDERS FOR DEMOCRATS
President Declares That the Lodge
ReserVationo are Utterly
Destructive.

Washington, May 9.--In a militant
telegram made public today at the
White House tonight President Wilson
demands that the Democratic party
nominate candidates for the forth
coming election who will fight unqauli
fedly for the League of Nations with
out reservations. He describes the
Versailles treaty as the paramount is
sue Of the campaign
Mr.. Wilson'S telegram went to G
2. Hamaker, chairman OF the Multo
norah County Democratic Central
Committee, Portland, Ore. in answer
10 telegram received from Mr.
Hamaker asking if it were "impor
tant" to nominate candidates pledged
10 ratify the Versailles treaty without
the Lodge reservations.
Although the excuse for the tele
gram is the Senatorial situation in
Oregon, to which it directly applies
politicians of both parties here at
once renewed speculation on the
chances of The President running fol
a. third term, with the League Of Ma
tiOns as his chief issue.
While no mention is made of sucf
possibility nevertheless the Presi
dent is in the position of cutting the
cloth for a suit for all Democratic
candidates which he alone might be
alb to fill when it comes to the
Presidency. He leaves no mistake
that the Versailles treaty is to hin
the leading issue of the campaign
and it is possible to read between
the lines a determination to fgh
for ratification OF treaty without res
eryations strong enough to induce hin
to become a candidate for thirC
term if he thought nobody else coulC
lead the fight in manner satisfactory
to him,
Mr. Wilson, In the telegram, makes
no distinction as to what candidates
should qualify as champions OF an un
reserved League Of Nations covenant
but there is no doubt all Presidential
candidates are included in the list fol
his language is sweeping,

Slavery existed in nearly all Of the
English colonies from an carly period
until shortly before or soon after the
Revolutionary war, and the African
trade was openly tolerated by the
British government In 1916 there
were 292,000 African slaves in the col
onies scattered from New England to
Georgia. Slavery was not prohibited
in Massachusetts until lIS0, nor in
Vermont until 1777. The United states

Discovery Of Asphalt Roadway

The discovery of asphalt was made
by accident. Many years ago, in Swift
2erland, natural rock asphalt was dis
covered and for more than century
it was used for the purpose of ex-
tracing the rich stores of bitumen it
contained In time If was noticed that
pieces of rock which fell from the
wagons and We're crushed by the
wheels formed q marvelously fine road
surface when assisted by the heat of
the sl1l. A proper road of asphalt
rock was then made and in 1854 an
experimental roadway was laid IN
Paris. From that time the use Of rock
asphalt for the making Of roads and
payements has increased and extended
to many countries.

stead of the conventional figures with
which playing cards are now adorned,
the following pictures: president Of
hearts, George Washington; of dla-
monds, John Adams; of clubs, Benja-

Ceres ana Minerva, The knaves were
represented, approximately rejecting
the general feeling among the whites,
by pictures of Indian chiefs.
