Hughe alliance, a non-partiaan or

for the presidency of the United Statea,
wa formed Saturday by Walter Tooie,
Sr.
E. L. Johnson la temporary chairman
of the local branch. MU Iva M. Har
rington, secretary; F. J. Tooxe, treas
urer and J. E. Calavan, vice-chairman.
The number of member of the branch
I expected to reach 400 before the
end of next week.
Every Progressive voter approached
signed a membership blank and on the
list are half a dozen Democrt. Mr.
Tooze estimate that 10 progressive
have signed up. Not a Republican
refused to sign.
Button to B Snt Hr.
Mr. Tooze found a big demand for
button and promised to send a large
shipment to Oregon City. "From what
I have seen, everything point to a
most tuccessful Republican campaign
In Clackamas county," said Mr. Tooze.
"The Republican here ought to have
no trouble in electing their county
ticket thi tall. Oregon City and all of
Clackamas county are for Hughes."
Women are especially Invited to Join '
the local branch of the alliance. A
large number have already signed the
membership blanks. The local branch
la one of the' first organized in the
state. Other branches will probably
be found la Canby. Molulla, Estacada,
Milwaukle and other towns In the
county. Mr. Tooze said he would go
down the western side of the state,
organizing branches of the alliance In
all the towns.
State Organization Affected.
Branches of the Hughes Alliance al
ready have been organized at Port
land, Salem and Rainier. It Is planned
to organize these branches In every
county in Oregon.
J. K. GUI, of Portland, has been
named as temporary president of the
state organization; Mrs. E. B. Hanley,
of Medford, first vice-president; Frank
B. Mitchell, of Baker, second vice
president; and Mrs. Joseph F. Kelley,
of Portland, treasurer. Walter L. .
Tooze, Sr., of Salem, a widely known
Republican, has been selected as state
organizer.
The Hughes Alliance originated in
New York as a state organization in
190S when Mr. Hughes was governor.
It was the Instrumentality In the state
through which many men did practical
and effective work for his re-election,
and did it without distinction or differ
ence based on their accustomed poli
tical affiliations. Under the leader
ship of staunch friends of Governor
Hughes und in full co-operation with
pnrty and other organizations working
to the same end, the Hughes Alliance
enlisted and made effective the con
crete political efforts of men and wo
men who gladly accepted this kind of
an opportunity to do something to con
tinue the Hughes standard of public
administration in state affairs. The
work of the alliance was a striking
demonstration of the way in which, at
a time of crisis, ordinary party differ
ences may be subordinated and the in
dependent sentiment of the state mad
politically effective.
Alliance Made National.
Governor Hughes' candidacy for the
presidency In 1916 made a broad and
stirring appeal to all Americans Ir
respective of national party affilia
tions, and a broad appeal likewise to
the independent sentiment of Ameri
can communities, which too often is
not definitely correlated to the work
