"Vote 'er Straight" Sentiment.
There seems to be a wlde-aprrsd
vote Vr straight" sentiment found In
oil wctlons of tho county this year,
hay the Reptibllrmi SH-ukers. There
are two reasons for this. Klrst, the
strength of the Republican ticket with
reapect to the personal qualifications
of each candidate; and second, the
present unreal under tho Democratic
aduilnlrtrutlon.
DiMplto the prevailing optimism In
tho Democratic rump aa to the ulti
mate str.'cess of their regime, the fact
remains that times are exceedingly
hard in all lines, and right here in
Clackamas county, where laborers
hove been laid off by tbo score in tho
mills, and where in many lines of in
dustry a five-day schedule has been In
augurated, It Is especially noticeable.
While It may be amiss to state that
the Wilson regime Is wholly re
sponsible for these conditions, it is a
fact that there Is a general yearning to
bring back the old-tlme-trled ship of
the G. O. 1'. This Is the general trend
of tbo times all over the couutry ond
tight here In the center of a manu
facturing community, and the country
tributary thereto, the fueling la eapo
clally pronounced. It has taken the
shape of a genuine "vote 'er straight"
movement, and that slogan promises to
become almost as popular In Clacka
mas county this fall as tho celebrated
"Let 'er Duck." Wbllo party lines
sometimes are obliterated In county
elections, nevertheless there Is a wide
spread sentiment to obliterate the
Democratic regime from the top to bot
tom, and clean the slate once and for
all, for that good old prosperity of
former days.
Tho county central committee ap
preciates the confidence that Is being
reposed in the Republican ticket and
to Justify this confidence, and to keep
up the high standard of efficiency in
tho ticket, have, withdrawn their sup
port from tho cumltduoy of C. M. Hurl
burt, Joint representative of Clacka
maB and Multnomah counties. On In
vestigation of charges Uiat trose fol
lowing his nomination, It was shown
upon his own statement recently that
he was unworthy of the support of the
Republican party and for this reason
the county central committee has
mndo a speclul effort to Inform the
voters that It Is not supporting Mr.
Hurlburt.
This move by the central commit
too clearly indicates Its good faith In
asking for a general support of the
Republican ticket this fall, and Clack
amas county voters mny rest assured
that no nmn will receive the endorse
ment of the Republican central com
mittee unless ho Is admirably quali
fied to hold tho position. The central
committee has asked for Mr. Hurl
btirt's withdrawal, nnd when this Is
forthcoming, the voters may "vote 'or
straight" without compunction.

A
ROAD TO NT. HOOD
BILL TO PERMIT MULTNOMAH TO
CONSTRUCT HIGHWAY IN
CLACKAMAS URGED
The Portland Ad club Is fostering a
plan to build a road from Portland to
Mt. Hood through Multnomah and
Clackamas counties at the expense of
the former county and propose that
the state legislature be asked to pass
a bill giving Multnomah county the
right to construct the line In this coun
ty. I'ndersuch a law Multnomah coun
ty would construct all the line.
The proposal bai been turned over
to tho committee on resolutions of tho
Ad club and was submitted to the club
by S. S. Hewitt, who Is chairman of the
club's good ro'wls committee.
"The Mount Hood country has well
been called an Inspiration," said Hew
itt. "The key to the door of any coun
try Is a road and for aeven years one
man has struggled, almost single, hand
ed, to forge the road key that will open
tills rich scenic district
"ThU man has spent thousand of
dollars In grading, bridge building and
nas been ui.llnng and absolutely un
selfish In his effort. It Is almost un
necessary to state that I refer to E.
Henry Wemme."
The resolution presented by Mr.
Hewitt pledged the club to support a
road 24 feet In width, with no grade
to exceed 6 per cent, and authorized
the appointment of a legal committee
to draft a law giving Multnomah coun
ty the right, under state supervision,
to build those portions of the Mount
Hood road which would be within
Clackamas county. Two concluding
paragraphs of the resolution were:
"He It further resolved, that all citi
zens, clubs, organizations and publica
tions be asked to lend their active sup
port and cooperation In the further
ance of this plan, and
"That should It be necessary to raise
a fund for the Initial prosecution of
the plun, the Portland Ad club as in
dividuals will contribute to the fund
and thus, by their action, cause other
public spirited citizens to lend tbelr fi
nancial aid."
ASSOCIATION TO MEET
The Clackamas County Cow Testing
association, which was formed here the
first of September for the purpose of
aiding the dairying industry In the
county, will hold a meeting Saturday
afternoon In the Commercial club par
lors at 1 o'clock. All the dairymen In

"I suppose thl ha angered the wet

In retaliation. Members of thlo com
mittee are most Indignant 'hat the
brewers should vilify an Oregon town
to bolster up a bad case."
Driven to an extreme for argument
for their cause, the campaigns against
the Oregon dry amendment are now
citing the financial condition of Oregon
City as result of the dry regime.
Truth is cast aside, even fairness and
honesty are forgotten, when the wets
attempt to blame the condition of this

a year
Town Wet When Debt Accumulated.
The financial condition of Oregon
City Is not traceable to the lack of
saloons. J. O. Staats said Wednesday
evening: "I have been making a conv
plete audit of the city's books and In a
few days I will be able to give out a
complete financial statement. I find
that at least 85 per cent of the debt of
this city accumulated previous to the
beginning of 1914. Before the town
went dry, I find that Its annual deficit
was at least 110,000 a year greater
than under tbe present dry regime."
Mr. Stoats is a man who Is careiui
In making Dubllc statements and would
make such an announcement only aft
er a long Btudy of tbe subject at band.
He has been spending much time dur
ing tbe last few weeks with the city's
books In preparing his figures ana at
the present time is probably able to
come as near the truth as any other
person.
F. J. Meyer of Same Opinion.
Hut. Mr. Staats Is not alone In mak
ing the statement that the bulk of Ore
gon City's debt accumulated during
the time the town was wet. . J.
Meyer, chairman of the council com
mittee on finances, said Wednesday
evening: "Oregon City's financial con
dition is not traceable to the expendi
tures of the last eight or nine months.
This debt has been accumulated dur
ing the years when the town was wet."
During the summer the banks here
have refused to cash warrants for
those who were not customers of the
bank. This fact Is made a point In the
placards in Portland, but there is no
mention of the fact that several years
ago the banks took the same step. The

STORY OF DEEDS
MOTHER OF 19 YEARS FOR FIRST
TIME SHOWS SIGNS OF
EMOTION MONDAY
CONDITION IS CONSIDERED THESAHE
Girl Say She Shot Infant While In
a Daze and I Not Able to De
scribe Details of the
Tragedy
Two week have now passed since
Mrs. Florence Bohn, tbe child-mother
of 19 years, shot ber two Infant chil
dren and then turned the gun on her
self, but it was not until Monday that
he broke down and showed any sign
of emotion.
Dr. Gleiy, of Aurcra, who ha been
attending the woman since the day of
the tragedy, made his dally visit to
the Sohn borne Monday morning. For
several days he had attempted to learn
the girl' account of tbe morning when
ho shot her children, but each ques
tion was evaded or left unanatwered by
her.
Monday, when the two were alone.
he asked ber If she had any thought
1 0f the crime when her husband left
their home the morning of the tragedy.
She replied that sbe bad nome. The
physician describes tbe conversation
as follows:
Physician Describe Conversation.
"Sohn left bis wife for the hop field
at about 7 o'clock the morning of tbe
shooting. I asked her If she had any
previous thought of committing the
deed and she told me that the plan
struck her In an Instant and that sbe
carried it out while In a daze. She
cannot remember distinctly Just what
she did. I did not ask her the details
for she said that her mind was not
clear on many points.
"When I first saw and heard the de
tails of her acts, I formed the opinion
that she was temporally .demented
when she used the gun and my con
versation with her Monday morning
brings out that belief. At tbe pres
ent time I believe that she is normal
but with the Blngle exceplon of the
time I talked with her Monday has
been able to hold back her emotion.
Mrs. Sohn An Orphan.
"Mrs. Sohn has been an orphan since
she was five years old. I believe she
has seen a hard life. At ber home at
Boone's Ferry she saw but few of the
neighbors, for the Sohn home is not
near any other bouse. All who knew
her liked her, however, as nearly as I
could learn."
Dr. Glesy believes that brooding over
the suffering of ber own past, caused
tbe young mother to become despond
ent. The constant assocltion with her
own children brought to her mind the
future which awaited them and she
sought to lessen their pain and misery,
which to her mind seemed certain, by
the only way possible in her distort
ed brain which was death. This Is the
theory of Dr. Glesy and It Is backed
with the statement which she made
that she killed them because she loved
them; because she could not bear to
see them grow up In a cruel world.
Mrs. Sohn is BtlU "holding her own.
The changes in ber condition are dally,
one day for the better and the next for
the worse. Physicians still hold out
only small hope for her recovery.
