DEMOCRATS JuBIlANT
OVER ROOSEVELT TOUR
Candid Discussion of National Issues
Met With Hearty Approval
Everywhere.

The democrats of the Northwest
are particularly jubilant over the
success of the tour of the Hon. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt through this section
of the country. In the earlier stages
Of a campaign, it is difficult to arouse
enthusiasm but Mr.. Roosevelt was
more than cordially received every
where, and reports from over tho
state of Washington indicate that he
made something more than a splen-
did impression. At all of the smaller
stopping places in his itinerary
through the state, no matter how
early the hour, there were crowds
out to hear him, and his pleasing per-
sonality and candid discussion of ma
tional issues met with hearty ap-
proval everywhere. 1t is the opinion
Of the democrats that Mr.. Roosevelt
IL very great asset and one that will
prov of increasing value. There was
some little hesitancy at the outse.
about having him tour the site so
early in the campaign, but democrats
Of the Northwest report that they are
. good deal more than pleased with
the results.
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke to large meet
ings everywhere, in spite Of the fact
that It is but the beginning of the
! campaign. At Spokane and at Port
/, land the crowds we're big and enthu.
stastic. At Seattle he was greeted
hY an audience Of several thousand
and won the great crowd with clean
| cut ldignified presentation Of the nat
kstdpoint. AT Portland the grea'
Auditorium building was filed to the
roof. At. the smaller towns along the
! route, where his stops were necces.
sarily limited to only a few minutes
in each place, he was not afforded the
opportunity to elaborate upon his
treatment of the issues as he argues
them. but everywhere his speeches
were lucid, forceful, dignified argu'
ments for the Lergue Of nations and a
refreshing urge for progressive and
constructive thought. Mr.. Roosevelt
made an especial appeal to the pro-
gressive in all parties, and his million
vote smile and remarkable personal
ity won for him a host Of new ad'
mirers IL. the Northwest.

REPUBLICAN CONTROL
OF SENATE IN JEOPARDY
Senators Active Against Suffrage Elk
pected to Meet Defeat at the
November Election.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26-Re-
publican control of the Senate In the
next congress has been put in jeop-
ardy by ratification OF the woman's q
suffrage amendment.
With q Republican majority OF
only one in that branch Of Congress,
the terms of 80 senators are expiring,
and the vacancies will be filled in
the November elections.
Even before Tennessee ratified the
suffrage amendment. giving the 3Sth
state necessary to make suffrage ma
tionwide. it was generally conceded
that the Democrats had at least an
even change of capturing the next
Senate.
But the ratification gives votes to
women in tow of the states now rep.
resented by senators who have been
most active in opposing the extension
of suffrage to women. Senator Frank
B. Brandegee Of Connecticut and Sen
ator George H. Moses of Vernon
have fought suffrage both tooth and
nail.
Pressure was brought to bear tc
have the Republican governors OF
those states call their Legislatures ir
extra session for the. purpose ol
ratifying the federal suffrage amend
ment, but they declined. The only
other two states which did not vote
on the amendment were Florida ant
North Carolina, both overwhelmingly
Democratic.
1t is generally believed that Homer
s. Cummings, former chairman o
the Democratic national committee
will now consent to take the Demo
cratic nomination in Connecticut, ant
will make a strong appeal to the nev
women voters to elect him as frien'
| of suffrage and to defeat their con
sistent opponent, Senator Brandegee
In Vermont the women were givini

Says HARO|NG'S
RECORD IS WET
WATKINS SAYS G. o. p. NOMINEE
VOTED WITH VETS ON 80 DIF.
FERENT OCCASIONS

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Prohibition
national headquarters last night
issued statement by Aaron s. Wa.-
kins, prohibition nominee for presi-
dent, attacking the record of Senator
Harding on the wet and dry question.
Mr.. Watkins declares he is unable
to find any instance of Senator Hard
ing voting for the drys, and cites fig
ures designed to show that the repub-
lican nominee voted with the vets on
80 occasions and was "absent or
lodged 1,163 rollcalls and quorum
calls
The statement follows in part:
1T seems quite clear to me that
the friends of Senator Harding hav Q
overworked his meager prohibition
record and have left in idle inefti-
cheney a perfectly good and healthy
herd Of wet votes which decorate his
congressional record. For instance.
he voted against prohibition in Porto
Rico. Moreover, he cast several votes
against wartime prohibition, spoke
At length against It and I have thus
TAR been unable to and any case in
which he Supported It.
I'm August. 1917. he supported the
Reed amendment. which provided
that congress should have no power
to enforce the 18th amendment until
II had made provision for compen-
satiug liquor manufacturers and
tealers for the loss sustained by them
through the closing up of their busi-
ness. It was Senator Harding who
introduced the six-year clause which
the vets confidently prophesied would
defeat the measure. His vote for the
submission of the amendment was
accompanied by a speech in which he
announced his opposition to 1t and
his vote was merely his consent to
allow the people of the several statcs
to settle the question.
Lynn Haines of Washington, in q
review OF Senator Harding's congress
sional record, credits him with so
wet votes during his incumbency OF
the senatorship. and incidentally
states that he was absent or lodged
1,163 rollcalls and quorum calls.
"Mr. Haines also points out that
he has voted against every amend
ment to the revenue bill to increase
tn tax on profiteering and large in

 We found there 800 fatherless children Between the ages of 1 and IS years with every provision for training their heads hands and hearts.
