OWA CONVENTION REPUBLICANS WILL STAND BY TICKET PHILANTHROPIST. WHO HAS GIVEN MILLIONS TO SMALL COLLEGES, NOW CRITICALLY ILL WITH PNEUMONIA. Hart Schaf f ner & Marx VOTES FOR TAFT County Central Committee to Work for Election of People's Choice. MEETING IS ENTHUSIASTIC Quotioti a lo Qualification of Prr- -iiM-t ConimlttWMnen Prevents Permanent Organliation I Vom nelnj Perfected. At a lively meeting of the Ilerublican County Central Committee of Multno mah County at the Multnomah Hotel nt nisat a temporary organization was perfected, temporary olflcera elect ed and the foundation laid for the sup port by the committee of the Repub lican candidates named by the people at the primary nominating election April 19. Owing to the fact that a serious luention arose as to the qualifications of some of the precinct committeemen. no effort was made to perfect a perma nent organization or to pass resolu tlons. Adjournment was taken after the temporary officers were elected, sub ject to the call of F. K. Beach, tempor ary chairman, who will issue his call as soon as the committee on credentials Is able to unravel the qualification tangle which has resulted from errors on the part of the County -Clerk, and his Inability to decide some tie votes wmch resulted In several of the precincts. Tie Vote Reealt. Out of a total of 153 precincts in the county. 3 could not be represented at last night s meeting, because of dis putes as to who was elected. In m majority of these precincts the vote Is tied and It has been Impossible for the County Clerk to deckle the ties by the usual process of flipping up coins. In other precincts, where committee man were elected, no credentials were ent by the County Clerk to the meet ing last night for reasons which were not explainable. Out of a total of more than 300 per sons present at the meeting, only 141 were qualified to vote aud It was cqji; lderel advisable to defer making a permanent organization until the other L 1 precincts can be represented, so that If there Is any indorsement of candi dates It ran be by unanimous vote. The first order of business at the meeting was the election of temporary officers. The meeting was called to order by Ray Apperson and Harvej Wells acted as secretary. In the con test for temporary chairmanship. F. K. rteach and Simnel Woodward were nominated. Mr. Beach was elected by a vote of 62 to I. For secretary, A. l Cooper was elected by a vote of 8 gainst a vote of 1( received by L. L. Mahone. Both ejections afterwards were made unanimous. Credentials Committee Same. Chairman Beach appointed a com mittee on credentials comprising R. C. Wright. Fred J. Brady and Richard IMech. They will meet with the County Clerk and ferret out the qualification tangle as soon as possible. Chairman Beach will call a meeting of the com mittee, probably for some day next week, so that a good start can be made with the campaign and representatives ran be elected for the State Central Committee. A lively debate took place as to the propriety of the committee Indorsing the candidates last night. Resolutions to this effect were Introduced, pledg ing tl.e -committee members to the straight Republican ticket as named, from I'nited Slates Senator down the list to Constable. Kraelutlona Are Withdraws. Arguments were made against the passing of these - resolutions until a permanent organization could be per fected, and every member of the com mittee given an opportunity to vote on the question. At this the resolutions were withdrawn. R C. Wright declared after this with drawal that It should be the sense of the committee members to have It un derstood that the committee was un falteringly In favor of every candidate nominated at the primary election. This brought applause from those present, which demonstrated clearly that the in dorsement will be unanimous when the time comes.

"I was pale and very delicate as a girl." she says, "and had to quit school. Chlorosis developed and my health was so bad that I suffered for two years. I was thin and lost in weijrht. I was tired out all of the time, had no ambition and every month would be miserable. I had such terrible, headaches that I thought I would go crazy. My stomach was out of order and my appetite was poor. My health became worse all of the time. I was treated by several different doctors and all of them said I had chlorosis or green sickness. I did not get any relief from their treat ment and my mother finally became discouraged at their failure to help me and had me try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

At no time in her life does a woman stand in greater need of pure red blood and the strength which it alone can give her than when she is developing into womanhood. It is then that any inherited tendeney-to anaemia, chlorosis, or green sickness, needs only the slightest en couragement to rapidly develop. This it too often receives, for not all girls can take' the proper care of their health, but many are 'con fined within doors, are overworked, do not have enough nourishing food and are depressed by worry and cares. All of these . conditions quickly impoverish the bloody and are among the most common exciting causes of . sickness in growing girls.
