A committee was appointed, em
powered to appoint others to its
membership, to make a systematic
campaign of Portland enlisting the
support of the voters for the univer
sity bills. Members «of the alumni
pledged themselves to work among
the clubs and commercial an£ edu
cational organizations of the city and
county.
Efforts will be made to increase
registration before the books close

among the women voters.
Headquarters of the alumni or
ganization will be in the office of

The Dexter Club of Mary Spiller

ALLEN EATON
OPTIMISTIC
ALUMNI AND STUDENT WORI
BEING FRAUGHT WITH
RESULTS
CONFUSION MUSI BE AVOIDEI
Friends of University Are Work
ing Hard to Carry Marioi
County. Press of State Sup
ports Appropriation.
"The interest in favor of the
University Appropriations is gradu
ally Increasing at Salem and Port
land,” says Allen Eaton who has
spent the last week at these two
places, speaking 'on ‘‘Direct Legisla
tion” and working for the appropria
tions. ‘‘At Salem the old graduates
are very active, especially Chester
Moores and Earl Kilpatrick. Ex
Mayor Rogers who represented the
Governor on pledge day, and Sena
tor Hal Patton are also hard at it.
Various organizations are doing ex
cellent work In stirring up interest
and informing the people of the sit
uation. The Commercial Club and
the Cherrians are very active. In
1908 Marion county went 9000
against the appropriation but it is
the hope of these men and organiza
tions to split even the vote, if not
return a majority favorable to the
University. It is worthy to note that
the registration in Marion county is
the strongest in the state, so far.
Much Interest In Portland.
In Portland the interest is increas
ing even more rapidly, due largely to
the letters which have been sent out
by the students. The Oregon Edu
cational League of which Eugene
Brookings is President, and John
Veatch is Secretary are working like
Trojans in the matter of Publicity.
Last week the members of the Alum
ni formed an organization for an in
tensive campaign in Portland. Har
vey Rafferty was appointed at the
head of a committee consisting of
nine members. It is the ambition of
this committee to secure 100 per
sons to agree to get 100 men apiece.
Fight Not Won.
In regard to the outlook Mr.
Eaton says, “The fight is by no
means won as any one who knows
the real situation must admit, and
it is not unlikely that the work done
by the students and the people of
Eugene may be responsible for the
result. Many people say, ‘the press
is with us.’ This is quite true, there
being only four papers positively op
posed to us. But it must be remem
bered that in 1908 only three pa
pers were against us, yet the elec
tion was lost outside of Multnomah
county by over 6000. Multnomah
returned a majority of 9000 which
we can hardly expect in this election,
for the vote will be very light there.
Hundreds if not thousands of votes
will go against us by those who in
tend to support but who on account
of the confusing wording of the bal
lot will vote ‘No,’ thinking that the
vote is on the referendum, but the
vote is on the measure and those
who intend to support the University
must vote ‘Yes.’ This fact cannot be
over-emphasized.” o
Gav*n Dyott and William Hena
ner went to Portland Friday for a
week-end visit.
John Bull and Jack Elliott of the
Kappa Sigma house, are experienc
ing a slight sick spell.
Wallace Mount has returned to

jOiXOTT IS FOR
' APPROPRIATION
: SAYS OPPOSITION SHOWS
INTEREST IN CAM
PAIGN
MANY VOTLRS ARE CONFUSED
Secretary Explains System oi
Voting as Identical With Thai
of Legislature in Passing or
a Vetoed Measure.
In an interview with an Emerald
reporter Saturday afternoon in Sa
lem, Secretary of State Ben. W. 01
cott expressed the desire that the
University of Oregon would win in
the election on November 4 and
stated that he had no doubt but that
the bills would .carry. In speaking
of the University referendum Mr.
Olcott said:
“I have heard practically no com
ment for or against the University.
This to my mind bodes well for the
University as it shows lack of inter
est on the part, of the opponents of
the bill. I earnestly decire that the
measure pass and that the Univer
sity get what it deserves. If we at
tempt to have a state University I
do not believe in stinting the school
in the matter of appropriations.
"Alter being informed by Allen
Eaton that the voters were confused
as to whether they were voting on
the measure or the referendum I
have decided to give out a statement
to the newspapers in an effort to
render every possible assistance in
my power to the University.”
Voters Confuse Issues.
1 he statement issued by the Sec
retary of State’s office is as follows:
Salem, Ore., Oct. 18, 1913
It has come to the notice of this
office that, a number of the voters
of tlie state are not correctly ad
vised as to the manner of voting up
on the measures to be submitted to
the people under referendum peti
tions at the ensuing special election,
November 4, 1913. In order to cor
rect any misunderstanding that may
exist in the minds of any of the
voters of the state when voting upon
any measure, whether it be submitted
by the Legist autre, by referendum
petition or under an initiative peti
tion, if they are in favor of the same
and wish to vote for it becoming a
law they mark an "X” between the
ballot number for such measure and
the word “yes,” as appears on the of
ficial ballot, and If they are opposed
to such measure and wish to sig
nify their disopproval thereof they
mark an “X” between the ballot
number of the measure and the word
“no.” To better illustrate the mat
ter it might be added that the voter
is voting directly upon the measure
before him for his consideration and
not on the question of sustaining
the referendum petition. Voters
must bear in mind solely that if
they are in favor of any measure
they vote “yes” and If opposed to
it they vote “no.” This same ques
tion has arisen prior to other elec
tion and it is not unlikely that many
have voted contrary to their desires
by keason of their not knowing how
to properly mark their ballots.
Same as Vetoed Bills.
To further illustrate, when a ve
toed measure is returned to the Leg
islature top its further consideration
as* to whether that body will pass
theo measure notwithstanding the
veto of the Governor the question is
so put and -if the required number
of members os'each body vote" affir
matively on such measure It becomes
a law of the state. They do not vote
“no” when opposed to sustaining the
Governor’s veto but they vote “yes”
notwithstanding the Governor’s veto,
and so it is when the people vote up
MARE SUCCESSFUL

ally good this year that the judges
had difficulty in selecting the
names.”
At the next meeting of the Club
Plans for a play will be discussed.
DEAN OF LAW SCHOOL
TO ADDRESS ASSEMBLY
Judge Gantenbein Will Discuss
Election Measures Be
fore Students
Judge C. W. Gantenbein, Dean of
the Oregon Law School, will be the
Assembly speaker Wednesday. In
his address, Judge Gantenbein will
discuss all the bills wl jh are to be
voted upon next montn, but he will
more specifically explain the "Work
man’s Compensation Act” ub a mat
ter of particular interest to the great
est number of voters.
The Glee Club Quartet will assist
on the program as will the Univer
sity Choir, accompanied by the or
chestra. The latter organization will
be composed of the men’s and wom
en’s glee clubs combined, and will
soon become a regular assembly fea
ture.
WOMEN TRY ATHLETICS
Much Interest Being Shown in
Tennis, Golf and Archery
Much iuterest is being shown by
the girls in their outdoor games.
Although the rainy weather has in
terfered with their work somewhat,
they are rapidly becoming proficient
in the various activities. Tennis
and archery seem to be the favorite
sports, although canoeing, golf and
hockey also have their devotees.
Teams are being formed in each
sport, and if the weather permits,
contests will be held soon. Each
member of the team is to be award
ed her class numeral and the initial
letter of the sport in which they
were won. For the prescat these
^numerals will be awarded by the
Women’s Athletic Association, but
It Is hoped that it can soon be made
a Student Body affair.
The application blanks for admis
sion into the Women’s Athletic As
sociation are now ready and can be
obtained at any time from Miss
Thomson in the Women’s Gymna
sium, or from Miss Georgia Prather,
president of the association. .
Approved scholastic standing is
necessary for freshmen Kiris to be
come members of the association.
on laws which the referendum has
been invoked.
Probably the best guide for the
voter would be by asking himself
the question “Am I in favor of this
bill becoming a law?” If so he
votes “yes." If ho is not in favor
I of its becoming a law he should vo''*
I “no.”
OREGON PLAYS
IDAHO OCT. 25
GRIFFITH’S MEN RECKONED
AS SERIOUS CONTENDERS
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
VARSITY’S POSITION CRITICAL
Parsons Out of Game With Bad
Knee. Hayward Questions
Eligibility of Johnson. Patton
and May in Conference.
Next Saturday Oregon’s football
team meets that from the University
of Idaho on Kincaid field, in Ore
gon’s first conference game of the
season. The Idaho team comes for
Its second big game, with a victory
over W. S. C. already chalked in its
favor. They beat the husky Wash
ington “Aggies” in spite of their
choice by many as Northwest
champions, and without Johnosn,
Idaho’s star end, who will possibly
play against Oregon next Saturday.
Oregon has not yet played a team
of anything like corresponding cali
bre, and, according to Northwest
experts, is between one land twto
weeks behind in preparation.
Though Idaho, has never beaten an
Oregon football team, Oregon had
to be contented with a bare victory
of 3-0 last year; and Oregon was
also beaten by 19-2 by a W. S. C
team of less class than that trained
by Bender and defeated by Idaho
this year.
Parsons Out of (lame.
Oregon’s star halfback, Johnny
Parsons, has been troubled for two
weeks with a wrenched knee, and
will probably be out of the game.
If so, the team will have to depend
a great deal on Carl Fenton’s punt
ing, at which game the big tackle
promises to champion all Northwest
conference contenders this year.
The Oregon-Idaho game comeB
simultaneously with that between
the Oregon Agricultural College and
the, University of Washington at Se
attle. In the event of another vic
tory for Idaho, Oregon’s position as
Northwest champion contender will
at once become critical. Games
with o. A. C. and Washington, Nov.
8 and 15, respectively, finish Ore
gon’s Conference schedule Tor 1913
14.
Players’ Eligibility Questioned.
Oregon’s athletic head, “Bill”
Hayward, has now entered the Con
ference eligibility fight and will
contest three men, Patton, of Wash
ington; Johnson, of Idaho, and May,
of O. A. C. Patton’s offense will be
late registration, as he has not yet
returned from his trip to Japan with
the U. of W. baseball team, and
cannot, therefore, register within
the 21-day liimt after the opening
of college.
Johnson is to be a target for all
the colleges because he has played
four years of Intercollegiate foot
ball; three at Lawrence College and
one at Idaho.
The same charge is laid to May
of O. A. C., who played two years
with Willamette before becoming a
member of the “Aggie” team. His
two years’ service there fills out the
four-year limit imposed by Confer
ence ruling.
