SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1913. IN THE BALANCE. The fight waged by the friends of higher education for the very exist ence of the University is noarly over, it has been a hard fight, the hardest in which the University has ever en gaged, and the possibility of success does .credit to those who have sac rificed valuuble time and given their work in an endeavor to create a fa vorable public sentiment for old Oregon. The University, win or lose, cannot but feel under heavy obligations to these friends uud allies. At the present time, everyone la University circles Is hopeful—the work which has been done cannot be without avail. It hardly seems as if the voters of the state, casting their ballots on next Tuesday can do otherwise than allow the appropria tion of which the University stands so badly in need. But In the coining days, and espe cially on November 4, there remains important work to be done. Every effort must be made to make sure that University supporters do not fail to be at the polls to give their support. Those who have been fol lowing the campulgn closely state that a few votes one way or the other will turn the tide. Oregon must not lose through any carelessuess on the part of its allies in forgetting to vote or in putting off voting until it Is too lute. 1 he polls open Tuesday at 8 a. m. and elose ut 8 p. m. Vote early. Don't wait till the last minute. ONE WEEK MORE. After the results of the speelnl election Tuesday have been an nounced, one subject will take up all the space afforded In the Mmelight of student Interest. The currency bill may fade Into oblivion, Mexico may or may not preserve Its national Integrity. The possibility of annex ing a conference pennant for the 1913 season Is far more alluring to the average mind. The "dope" ao far Is little less confusing than that resulting from last year’s victories and defeats which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt the fallacy of judging the outcome of a football series according to the standurd of comparative scores. So far Washington has a little the best of It and Oregon has long since learned to look on Doble’s hard luck tales as nothing more nor less than a boost for an unusually good team. The O. A. C.-Washington score Is neither to be taken as an evidence of a low standard team on the one hand or of unusual merit on the other. In the Seattle contest, the Corvallis team was passing through a crisis. The team was out of sorts with itself and with Its trainer. If Oregon had clashed with Stuart's men one week ago, the result would not be difficult to Imagine. The work of the Aggie second team on Kincaid field yesterday, however, indicates that this crisis has been safely passed and that Oregon will face a determined, well disciplined team on November 8, at Albany. ALLEN H. EATON TELLS OF PORTLAND CAMPAIGN Praises Quartet for Good Work Done During the Past Week The mengbers of the University Alumni in Portland have effected an organization of which Harry Raf ferty is chairman, and they are work ing intensely every important busi ness building of the city, and reach ing thousands of people in the fac tory districts. The original members of the committee are Merwin Ran kin, Terry Beck, Oscar Furusset, Horace Fenton, Lyle Brown, Dean Goodman, Martin Hawkins and C. N. McArthur. These fellows have been joined by others, whose names i have inclination but not space to give, and if the University does not win by a heavy majority in Portland, it will not be the fault of the young er Bet of Oregon graduates. An ex ample of what we ought to know 1b found In the work of Terry Beck and Martin Hawkins, who have taken four or five buildings each, and are doing the work thoroughly. The work of John Veatch, president of the Oregon alumni, is better known than that of some others, and there is no danger that any of us will not appreciate it. Among several wo men of the University, I must refer to Miss Emma Wold, whose care ful and constructive work for the University for the past several months has so much to do with the splendid condition that has been de veloped. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, now almost eighty has not only written a letter to the women voters of the state, pleading with them to come to the support of the Unlversly, but she has spoken many times public ly, and no matter what the occasion, has always pleaded for the institu tion; but a fact which I learned from a daily associate of Mrs. Duniway, seems to me ought to be known to all of us who are working for the University, and especially to those of us who have, by one excuse and another, failed to do our portion. This friend was called into Mrs. Dun iway's room a day or two ago, and this splendid womau, hardly able to walk, without assistance, pointed with pride to her desk where were sealed and stamped and ready for mall 126 letters that she bad written to her friends with her own hand. This I know will more than, interest all who read it, and I hope that some will have time to write a line to Mrs. Duniway in appreciation of her won derful work. May I say through your paper to the hundreds who are as interested in the result of the election as I can possibly be, that we have not yet won it, and may I urge each one not to slacken in the work until seven o’ clock November 4th. There are a number of signs which make me be lieve that we shall need every vote that we can get, and on this, point, I hope you will take my judgment, and not permit undue optimism to be a contributing cause to defeat and disappointment. Yours for fair treatment to the University, ALLEN H. EATON, 1902. Raymond Gorman is spending the week-end in Salem. I-eila and Bess Cfishman are spending the week-end at their home in Brownsville. CORVALLIS MEN PLAN OFFICIAL PROGRAM Hayes and Mason of 0. A. C. Appoint Bill Cass as Eugene Manager of the Project Manager Hayes and Freeman Ma son of the O. A. C.
