HOPE or EAnLY COMPROMISE SNUFFED OUT
VOLUNTEER MOPPING-UP
CAMPAIGN WILL AID IN
FINISHING LOCALCENSUS

In accord with a suggestion made
here last week by w. a. Terrall, cens-
us supervisor for this district. a vol
unteer mopping up campaign will be
conducted By the Pendleton CONNER
cial Association with view to seeing
that all local people have been enum-
Grated. In each ward the volunteer
crusade will be taken up just as soon
as the regular enumerator has fin
ished work.
Hartman Is Leader.
George Hartman. cashier of the
First National Bank, was named last
night as general city chairman of the
volunteer brigade and has full power
to select subordinates. and carry on
the campaign. Mr.. Hartman is plan
ming to name a team captain for each
of the five wards into which the city
is sub divided for census purposes. the
divisions conforming to the regular
ward divisions excepting in the fourth
ward which was made into two dis
tricts because of the large population
in that ward. Each team captain will
in turn appoint a large number OF
workers in his ward SO that when the
time comes house to house visit may
be made in a short time thus check
I ing up on all who have been missed by
the enumerators.
A Cooperative Move.
1t is explained that the work con-
templated here is in no way reflec-
tion on the work of the enumerators
nor does it conflict with their duties
Mr.. Terrall make 1T clear to the di-
rectors of the Commercial Club last
week that the government welcomes
such work as this when carried on in
good faith. 1t is necessarily impos-
sibIe for an enumerator to enroll
everybody and the mopping up work
will serve to catch those who were
missed. The names gathered by the
volunteer workers win be forwarded
to Supervisor Terrall who will then
return them to one of the local emu
merators who will be requested to vis-
it the people in question and enumer-
ate them in regular fashion Such a
procedure precludes any padding.
which is not desired here, yet helps to
insure a complete enumeration.
AS some of the enumerators will
| finish work sooner than others the
plan is to have each ward organiza-
tion in readiness TO act as soon as the
ienumerator for that ward has COM
pieted his or her regular work

IF REVISION PASSES
AGREEMENT POSSIBLE
Compromise Votes Believed In

and Hand of Bryan are OBJ
stacIes Standing in Way.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Demo-
cratic proposals for peace treaty
compromise are unacceptable in their
present form to Senator Lodge and his
followers. because they fail to agree
with the Lodge view on Article 10,
Senators of the Lodge group declared
today. Democratic reservations will
be revised BY mild reservationists and
returned to the democrats III the
latter accept the notifications there
is a possibility an agreement viii be
reached.
But those best informed pointed
today to the number of obstacles
which must be overcome before any
suggestion can receive the 6f votes
necessary to ratify the treaty.
Await Wilson Stand
First. it is pointed out. much de-
pends on what Wilson says In his
Jackson day message to the demo-
Gratis. If he again demands unquali-
fled ratification all efforts at COM
promise may well be dropped
1t is emphasized that claims made

Gratis entirely concerned fn preparing
the reservations. no democratic sena-
tor has had a look AZ them.

Another difficulty. it was declared.
is that w. j. Bryan is understood to
have aided in preparing and is spon-
soring the reservations Bryan has
few friends among the senate demo-
ocrats and his share in the authorship
of the reservations would not help
them either in the senate or at the
