NO. 2 LIKED IN EXPENSE FUND FOR THE PHILIPPINES CAMPAIGN GROWING Island Student at University Says His Political FEARLESS DEMOCRACY Faculty and Students Subscribe Over $10— Immediate Need Is Legislation arid Democracy. Very Urgent. A far perspective gives an uninflu enced judgment. Eulogio A. G-orospe, freshman in the Uuiversity and lone representative of the Philippine Islands at Oregon, is wearing a “Wilson, Peace, Prosperity and Preparedness” button. Gorospe is a strong believer in demo cracy—the small “d” kind. Because of her democratic spirit he chose Ore gon over all other American universities. When asked whether he was a Wil son man in the Philippines or was a con vert since coming to the University, Gorospe replied: “The Filipinos all like Wilson. They like him because he kept the United States out of war. They like him for the way he handled the Mexican situation. They like his progressive constructive legislation. And they like him be cause of his democratic spirit and be cause he stands for real democracy and rule of the people. The campaign fund of the University Wilson league is growing. In answer to the request for funds printed in the last issue of the Wilson ian, contributions to the fund which is to provide for the necessary expenses incurred by the Wilson league, in the part they are to play in the re-election of President Woodrow Wilson, have been coming in liberally from the faculty and students. Already, ‘though the financial committee has hardly started its work, the sum raised on the campus amounts to over $10. Beginning with this week, when the real active campaign work on the cam pus is to begin, the drain on the league finances will comparatively heavy. Any contribution you make will help to carry Eugene for Wilson; Eugene will help carry the state and, although it has but a small electorial vote, Oregon is going to assist in giving the President the necessary majority on November 7. When the members of the faculty of the economics and political science de partments of the University go to ; the polls on November 7, they will cast a solid vote for Woodrow Wilson, the can didate with a record of achievement. Each of these men, whose business it is to study the governmental problems of our country, have carefully weighed the qualifications Pf Mr. Wilson and Mr, Hughes for the office of president of the United States, and they have found the latter wanting. "The demands upon a president ,¡0^ qiir nation can be wisely met only by a mind of largest ¡calihjr'e’ in statesmanship,” said Professor F.

This is the word which reached the officers of the league yesterday after noon and the committees in charge of the meeting are making preparations for the largest and mose enthusiastic campaign rally ever held on the campus. It is to be a rally for every student, member of the faculty and resident of Eugene, regardless of what their poli tical affiliations may be. It was first thought that Guild hall would be a. suit able place in which to hold the meeting but within a few hours after the an nouncement that the' Mr. Hanley and would 0 prom ised attendance had reached such num bers as to fill Guild room two or three times over. These speakers are the first of a number of prominent men throughout the state, who are supporting Wilson, that the Wilson league will bring to the campus. Mr. Hanley is so well known to university students, especially those whose homes are in the eastern part of the state, as to need hut a brief intro duction. In the last election he was the progressive candidiate for United 'States senator and is known as one of the ac tive leaders of that party in Oregon. He is one of the largest cattle men in the state and one who has the interest of the nation sincerely imbedded in his heart. All of his work for the Wilson cause has been purely voluntary and his interest in this campaign is typical of the zeal with which he enters into any line of endeavor. He will be remember ed as the sponsor for the “Sagebrush” children’s orchestra which made such (Continued on page two) -♦ ♦ ♦ .♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ F A C U LTY G IVES AN E LE V E N ■ W ILSON ♦ VOTE LEAD ♦ ' ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ In a vote completed today in which 81 members of the faculty expressed their preference of can- didates for President, Wilson was the choice of 46, while Hughes scored but 35 tallies.
