12 TEL2 MOKSIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, 105. SIIFFHISTS IN TIE ROSE GiTY National Officers Arrive and Proceed to Business. INTEREST IN CONVENTION Many Famous, Headed by "Aunt Susan" Anthony, Come to Port land to Attend Gathering of "Workers in the Cause. TESTEKDAVS ATTENDANCE 13,003. The attendance yesterday at the Ex position xras 13,003. Testerday morn ing when the clouds shoved tlcns of breaking people flocked to the Exposi tion by the hundreds. "With the con tinuation of the rain the attendance was visibly affected. Portland is now the stronghold of ! the woman suffrage movement, and or the next week will be dominated by the "eternal feminine" who would vote. Those people who hold positive views In the negative regarding woman and the ballot will do well to keep In the background. Essentially this is a bad time to talk unless you talk "right." This condition of affairs was brought about yesterday when the officers and a large number of influential members of the National Woman Suffrage As sociation reached the city at 1 o'clock In the afternoon and set up their battle scarred standard at the Portland Hotel. The formal sessions of the con vention do not begin until Thursday. There was no business transacted yes terday and the only official event of today will be the meeting of the ex ecutive committee this evening. The convention will be in session until July 5 covering a much longer pe riod than most National meetings. But it must be borne in mind that it is a woman's affair, and there will be much talking. Many Delegates Arriving. Many delegatos are arriving on each train, and a total attendance of several hundred is expected 'before the end of the week. They are brilliant, devoted and courageous women, representing the best feminine brains in the country, and Port land la honored by their presense. At the head of the official party which came yesterday is Susan B. Anthony, hon orary life president of the association. Miss Anthony is 85 years of age. but still active in the cause for which she has la bored for more than 50 year. She re talna her old-time courage for the .fight which has been long and in many re spects heartbreaking. Her hope in ulti mate, complete success is unshakon, and 'Aunt Susan." in spite of her age, is the central and most interesting figure among the great women who are here. She has done more for the cause than any other, and in her declining years is the best loved among all her Ulster workers in the cause. In more active direction of the asso ciate's business are Rev. Anna Shaw, of Philadelphia. National -president, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. of New York, presi dent of the International Woman Suf frage Alliance. They, together with their lieutenants, will open headquarters at the Portland today, and the work of the as sociation will begin. The people of Portland are glad to wel come those earnest women to the city and to the Expedition. Regardless of the Individual views held in the matter of universal suffrage, they wish them a pleasant and successful meeting, and will do their best, hoping for fair weather. Room 618 in the Portland Hotel was the scene of a notable gathering yester day afternoon. Lawyers, doctors, minis ters of the gospel, lecturers of renown and expert auditors were In close con ference, mapping out a plan of campaign by which they will fight for their rights in this land of the free and home of the brave. That they have not had the rights accorded by the Declaration of Independ ence to all American citizens they, at tribute to the fact that they are women, and it is to convince unseeing mankind that women who are Intelligent enough to obey laws are capable of helping frame them, that the most profound and repre sentative women of the country are gath ered here in the interests of equal suf frage. "Taxation without representation" Is hateful to the ears of women who are thinkers and scholars, and the slow and strenuous task of convincing the femi nine masses throughout this land that they should have and demand equal rights with man has been In progress ever since what "Aunt Susan" Anthony calls nor "rotten egg days." The task is still a momentous one. but the dear old soul who was the inaugurator of the equal suffrage movement has lived to see the flower of womankind gather around her and with their gifts of tongue and pen advocate the rights they claim to be so Justly theirs. Officers In Consultation. The seven officers of the National or ganization were in consultation for sev eral hours during the afternoon. Susan B. Anthony, honorary president, and Rev. Anna H. Shaw, president, sat side by side, around them women of National reputation Carrie Chapman Catt. vice' president of the American National Equal Suffrage Association and president of the International Women Suffrage Alliance, which Is composed of national suffrage associations from every portion of the civilized world: Kate Gordon, of New Or leans, who has done more for that city through the work of a handful of women suffragists than a purely masculine ad ministration has been able to accomplish in a century; Alice Stone Blackwell. daughter of the renowned Lucy Stone; Dr. Cora Smith Laton, an eminent sur geon of Minneapolis; Laura Clay, of the famous old Kentucky family of that name; Elizabeth Houser, of Ohio, who comes as proxy for the National treas urer, Harriet Upton Taylor, and Rev. An toinette Brown Blackwell. of New Tork. This evening at 8 o'clock there will be an executive committee meeting at the Portland, and at that time these officials and prime workers in the suffrage move ment will present the conclusions they reached yesterday as regards the business which will be brought up before the con vention. There was nothing arrived at which they were willing to give the pub lic Just at present, nor will the meeting tonight be an open one, but the final re sults of it all will be observed during the sessions of the convention. Prominent Women Here. Meanwhile other prominent women gathered to talk over the Oregon sit uation, or visited members of the Ore gon association at their homes. Every where among these women greatest hope and enthusiasm is manifest, hope that the effect of this convention may bo a fa vorable one and put tho Western women to thinking and the men. too. No one lost any time, but got right down to business, getting the situation in hand before the opening of the con vention. Other prominent delegates who came in with the official party at 1 o'clock are Ida Hosted Hamer. whosa fame as a literary woman, speaker and i organizer is international; Charlotte Per kins Gilman. poet, novelist, lecturer; Mrs. J Mary C C Bradford, of Colorado, presi- 1 dent of the State Federation of Woman's t Clubs; Miss Laura Gregg, of Nebraska, i National organizer; Mrs. Ellis Meredith, I prominent newspaper correspondent and i magazine writer, of Denver; Mrs. Mary 1 A. Chase, of New Hampshire. National organizer; Mrs. Maud Wood Park, Bos ton; Mrs. Jiabel Craft Deering. San Francisco. CaL; Henry B. Blackwell, Boston, senior editor of the Woman's Journal, and a life-long worker in the cause: Miss Gail Laughlin. National or ganizer and speaker; Miss Frances Grif fin, president Alabama State Association; Mrs. Charlotte B. Wllbour. New York, president Sorosis; Mrs. Mary J. Cogge shall, Iowa, president Iowa State As sociation. In addition to these there will be many more women of National repute, and state delegates will all be women who have done something worth while women of whom other women are proud. The gathering, which will be called to order at the First Congregational Church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, will be a notable one and may mean much to Oregon women in the future. President Is Busy. Rev. Anna H. Shaw was a busy woman yesterday and will be every minute ef the time she is in Portland, but she good naturedly resigned her chair to Mrs. Catt at the official conference yesterday and sat on the stairs to talk about equal suf frage. She has great faith in the West and looks to the women of this great Western country to accomplish more in the movement than is possible in the East. Mrs. Shaw is no longer a young woman, but there is a 'ring to her voice and a sparkle to her yc which belles her white hair and matronly air. Good nature fairly exudes from her personality, and when" she discusses the suffrage move ment her eyes dance with hope and pleas urable anticipation. Look to the West. "It is to the West we look for greatest results in this movement," she said, "be cause Eastern States have too great a foreign element and a foreign element ifi something which cannot be overcome in one generation. Foreigners and 'hegroes are the greatest menace against equal suffrage for women which we have to combat. Why? Because enslaved classes once emancipated become the greatest tyrants on earth. Foreigners who emi grate to this country have been down trodden, the heaviest yoke falling on their women. Finding themselves in this free land their women are held down more firmly than ever by them. In the case of negroes one can never convince a negro man that a woman knows enough to speak her own mind or oast her own vote, and the negro vote Is always solidly against suffrage. "Women of the West are more progres sive in spirit than Easterners, and for that matter our young Eastern blood Is turning this way. I once preached seven years in a New England town and only five of the young couples who were mar ried there during all that time remained in the town; they went West while they were young and like all others coming here became progressive and full of en ergy and life. Woman has had to do with the building of this Western empire to such an extent that her usefulness is recognized, and here, where all new movements originate. I feci that the equal suffrage movement wlH soon carry. There seems to be nothing new East political movements have been the same for years and to find a change we come to the West. Movement Grows Rapidly. "No other movement has grown so rapidly as ours. Formerly it stood en tirely alone and other women's organiza tions stood aloof from it, but now it is spreading so rapidly that nearly every organization indorses it. This was es pecially noticeable in the case of Okla homa, Indian Territory. New Mexico and Arizona applying for statehood and in cluding women, idiots, male lunatics and criminals in one class not allowed to vote. The National Equal Suffrage Association protested and more than 3 prominent women's organizations in the country Joined us. These included Catholic or ganizations. Jewish Councils, relief corps of the G. A. and the greatest scope in work and denomination. At the Inter national Council of Women which met in Berlin the 20 nations represented voted to a member for the equal political rights of women in all nations. The National Council of Women in this country, in cluding 19 organizations, did the same. which looks very much like womon in every branch of organized work arc tak ing up the fight. "One of the things which had pleased me most regarding the prestige the equal suffrage movement is assuming is the ad- ; dress which Chief Jutke Brewer made to J the graduates of Vassar the other day, when he said that the day was not far distant when a woman in the President's chair would cast as much luster over the United States and its government as Vic toria had cast over England during her long reign. Bishop McVtcker, of the Epis copal Church, said practically the same thing to the graduates of Bryn Mawr. and Bishop Spauldlng. of the Catholic Church, is a warm advocate of tho movement. John Morlcy, the renowned English his torian and coworker with Gladstone dur ing his lifetime, recently stated that the time had come when woman would have to look to the ballot for protection. When such men champion a caitpe, lesser lights will surely have to." Kate Gordon's Work. Kate Gordon, of New Orleans, secretary of the National Association, is a woman of Indefatigable energy and executive ability. With a small number of women suffragist enthusiasts, and at a time when the movement In that city had not been on foot more than six months, she suc ceeded In procuring a petition signed by such numbers that there was no alterna tive but to permit women taxpayers to vote on matters involving taxation. And through this she succeeded in having the women of New Orleans to float J4.O00.O00 bonds to provide an underground drainage and sewerage system for that city, which has harbored pestilence through lack of such facilities for a hundred years. She found on investigation that out of 23.000 possible taxpayers in that city. 16.000 of them were women. To hunt these women up and get them sufficiently interested to vote to tax themselves was a task which few would undertake, but Miss Gordon did It, and now the Crescent City bows at her feet for the groat service done. When she began the agitation a city of ficial stated In answer to her inquiry tltat there might possibly be K09 women tax payers In the city, but that 600 would be a fair estimate. Another official who had been in office for years, and who shoeld have the number exact, said that 35C0 was a conservative estimate; but Miss Gordon meant business, and when she got busy with the records and dug up facts she had a list of 15.000 names all women. Her part of the task that of making the expend! ture of Jt.000.OM for the city's good possl ble. Is finished, and when the great work is complete New Orleans will have no more yellow fever to wipe out its panic stricken citizens. "The commercial prosperity of New Or leans at present Is phenomenal." she said. in telling of it, "and the foundation upon which it rests Is that little handful of women suffragists who began that fight and carried it to a finish. But, while they allowed us to vote to tax ourselves, we can have nothing to do with the expend! ture. Maybe it will he different some day." M1LWAUKIE COUNTRY CLUB Eastern and Seattle races.

Yesterday morning, at the opening of the conference. the building was crowded with those who have Interested themselves in the work. Music was furnished hy the Administra tion Band. Bev. B. Nelson Allen pro nounced the Invocation, following which Mrs. Lucia F. Additon. state president, who presides at the conference, delivered the opening address. Opening Address. The ideals the W. C- T. U. Is battling for are an individual, self-governed, with brain, nerve, blood free from poison; a home love-governed, where purity glorifies life, and curses of alcoholic slavery are never heard." said Mrs. Additon, In the course of her brief address. "And a church Christ-governed, that stands im movable for abstinence from all evil, and dares to rebuke sin in high as well as low places; a nation God-governed, where civic righteousness prevails, the result of a redeemed ballot box. Are these Ideals too high? Nay, verily, they are practical and possible, and some glad day will gain supremacy. "This Exposition would not have been complete without the aid and presence of your members." said Colonel Henry E. Dosch. who dellx'ered the address of wel come on behalf of the corporation. "Suc cess to you la this, the greatest and no blest of all work." President Myers Speaks. President Jefferson Meyers, who spoke in the interest of the Oregon State Com mission, gave a short but interesting talk in which he highly complimented the ' W. C. T. U. "You have done a wonderful I work." he said. "Your organization la j a mother to our young men and young j women of this country. Your care and advice, no doubt, have changed the lives of many. It would be ImpopMble to esti mate the number of homes you have changed from darkness to light." "I hope the time is not far distant when the Stars and St ripen shall not wave over any legalized saloon," vig orously commented Mrs. Margaret Munns. of Seattle, corresponding secretary of the Washington state association, who trnt nn rf the sneakers. "The tlm 1 coming when this flag of ours will no ' longer be trailed in the dust and when this greatest of all world's curses will have been overcome.

The other speakers were Mrs. Manny, of Los Angeles: Mrs. I De Remler. of the District of Columbia; Dr. Hannah Williams, of Michigan; Mrs. Emily Merritt. of Ohio, and Mrs. Frances Graham, of New York. Gold Medal Contest. The holding ef the oratorical gold medal contest at the Auditorium last night by the W. C T. U- was .one of the main features of yesterday's ses sion. The annual contest, was the third of a series under the contest bureau of the organization. The young ladies that participated were: Miss Matxryee I Cur- i re j. of Olympia; Mifis Louise B. Younf, of Hoaquim; Miss Ida Sommerfelt, of Lent and Miss Liltth Moore. Miss Ida Sommerfelt. who has charge of the W. C T. U. booth at the Expo sition, was awarded the first place and MIm Loutac Young, second. The medals were not awarded, owing to the fact that the rules governing the contest pro tide that there must be five cantest ants. The superintendent of the contest bureau will be appealed to and there is no doubt but that the winners of the contest -will be awarded the prizes. Miss Emma Page. National associate of the contest bureau, presided last night, but phe did not have the authority to present the medals. There were to have been six contestants, but two of the young ladles that were to have partici pated, were unavoidably delayed. Recitations Are Excellent. The young ladles that participated in the contest last night are brilliant ora torical students, and all have won gold medals in the state contests of the W. C T. U. The contest last night was inter state. The recitations were temperance In character. Miss Sommerfelt. the winner, took as her subject. "A Picture From Life." She described with unusual talent the sufferings of a young farmer who had forsaken the rural life for that of a city. He became a victim of drink and ended his life by shooting himself In a grog shop. As she told of the terrible agonies and tortures that were endured by the boy and his mother, there was scarcely a clear eye in the large audience. All of the young ladles delivered excellent recitations and received considerable ap plause. The Judges were B. Lee Paget. Mrs. Evelyn Graham, of New York, and Mrs. Henrietta Brown, of Albany. Several vocal solos were rendered by Miss Mao Donaldson. Today's programme will be as follows: June 2S Invocation. Rev. E. S.

Favors of sweet peas tied with white ribbons were dls tributed by flower girls and lemonade was served by Mrs. David Dalglelsh and as sistants. Delightful Music An enjoyable feature of this affair was tho vocal music provided by Miss Mary Adele Case, of Oregon City, and Miss Edna Isabel Protzman.

EDITORS SEIZE TIE ROSE Cm Members of the National Edi torial Association in Portland. HEY VISIT THE EXPOSITION Knights of the Pen Are Delighted With the Centennial and With Courtesy Extended to Them by Portlandcrs. The editors are In Portland and three days will hey remain in the Rose City before they depart to their homes to take up the pen. the pencil and the typewriter to scatter broadcast throughout the United States vivid descriptions ef the wonders and beauties of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Straight from tho broad plains of Oklahoma, where they held their annual convention In the City of Guthrie, the members of the National Editorial Association arrived in Portland yesterday noon In a special train con sisting of nine Pullmans. There were 225 people la the party, many of tho news paper men accompanied by their wives and children. To the music of the Administration band the editors alighted from their special train at the Union Depot yesterday to find awaiting them five trolley cars, in which they were conveyed to the Exposi tion after a short ride about tho city. The visitors were taken to the American Inn. where they have established their headquarters during their stay In Port land. Manager Merrick and Secretary Sutton, of the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion Press Bureau, met the special train at Albany last night and accompanied the association to Portland. The train stopped at Salem yesterday morning, where Gov ernor Chamberlain received the members of the association at the Stateheuse. The train remained at Salem for two hours, after which the editors were hur ried to the Western World's Fair City. Postmasters in Party. There are a good many postmasters in the party. They are not distinct from the editors, as the appointment of newspaper men as postmasters has been very papu lar during the Republican administrations. The visitors are from all parts of the United States, and every state in the Union is represented by one or more newspaper men. With very few excep tions the members of the Editorial Asso ciation control the policy of the paper they represent. The large majority of the visitors own their newspapers. The visit of the National Editorial As sociation Is of considerable significance to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. If the members of the association are as deeply Impressed with the Fair as the other noted visitors that have attended. the results In advertising will be tremen dous. It means that the Lewis and Clark Exposition will be exploited in over 300 papers. There Is no doubt but that the members of the party will be greatly de lighted with the Western World's Fair. lesterday afternoon the editors bad their first opportunity of seeing the Exposition, and they became very enthusiastic. They stated that their only regret is that they can only remain In Portland for three days. Will Be Entertained. The Exposition officials are determined to give the visitors the most pleasant and enjoyable time of their entire trip. In Oklahoma they were royally enter tained at all the cities they visited. At Guthrie the members of the association were taken Into private homes as guests, and private carriages and ail other con veniences were placed at their disposal. A Wild West exhibition, participated In by thousands of cowboys and Indians, was arranged for their benefit while they were In the territory. The Exposition manage ment Is not discouraged, however, and say tho editors will be as deeply Impressed with Oregon as, they were with Okla homa. Oklahoma evidently won the everlast ing friendship of the editors, as they turned out in a body to attend the Okla homa Day exercises, which were held in the Auditorium yeiterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The red. white and blue badges of the association were in evidence In all parts of the audience, which comfortably Oiled the lower floor of the building. The Oklahomans wore purple and white badges. On the white badges were print ed. "Statehood for Oklahoma.- Help us get It" Oklahoma Making Fight. Oklahoma is making a glorious and vig orous fight for admission to the Union, as yesterday she carried the battle to Portland. That Oklahoma must be ad mitted to the Union was the keynote of the meeting held yesterday In the Audi torium. Leandcr Martaln. secretary of the Oklahoma commission, presided as chairman. In a short address he stated that there was going to be a big wedding next Winter In Washington to be offici ated over by President Roosevelt and Congress. He said that then Oklahoma would be wedded to her sister states. Colonel Henry EL Dosch. director of ex hibits, delivered an address of welcome to the people of Oklahoma and the mem bers of the National Editorial Association on behalf of the Exposition management. He said that the progress made, by Okla noma was the wonder of the world, and predicted even greater achievements. Ha was followed by Captain Seymour Foose, personal representative of Governor Fer guson of Oklahoma, who delivered a most eloquent address. "The Impression of the great Northwest upon one who has spent most of his life upon the great central plains Is Indescribable. said Captain Foose. "The enormous expanse of sage brush fringed with the lofty peaks that rear their heads heavenward, beautiful lakes and rivers and streams suggestive of purity and cleanliness, effect upon us a startling, enthralling and lasting Im pression." He closed his address saying that the people of the Oklahoma and In dian Territories were determined to be united into one state, and they felt sat isfied that Congress would no longer deny 1.500.0CO people the right of self-government. He was loudly applauded. Roy Stafford Speaks. Roy Stafford, president of the Okla homa Press Association and editor of the Oklahoma City Oklahoman. gave a short talk on the resources of his state. "Oklahoma was opened to settlement some IS years ago, and people poured over Its borders, founding a civilization that we are Justly proud of today." he said. Mr. Stafford, who Is barely more than SO years of age. bears the reputation of being one of the youngest editors of a dally newspaper in the world. Six years ago he secured control of the Oklahoman. which then had only 500 subscribers. Now it is one of the leading papers In the Middle West and Its circulation Is in the thousands. Charles H. Greer, president of the Ala bama. Press Association, delivered an ad dress, which was well received. Mr. Greer told how splendidly Oklahoma had played the part of hostess to tho members of the association. The exercises were con- dude by Jcdga J. r.

Felt, president of tho Utah Press Association, arrived ha Portland, accom panied by other Utah editors 50 strong, including Mr. C W. Penrose, tho editor of the Deseret News of Salt Lake, who enjoys the distinction of behig the oldest editor In that city and state. The party came unheralded to visit th Exposiltion and to see the sights gener ally, and did not look for any especial courtesies, and have been agreeably sur prised at the royal manner in which they haTe been treated by everybody. Tne Board of Trade took, the editors on an excursion up the Columbia River, and tho Astoria &. Columbia River Railway Company furnished the party with a spe cial car for a trip to Seaside, which waa much enjoyed. The Fair commissioners have dose their share and the people on. the Trail opened up everything free to the guests. Last night the Utah Press Association met at the Utah building and saarehed in a body to the banquet given to the members of the National Editorial Association, who arrived in Portland yes terday.
