Mrs. Sarah E. Commerford, of
Spokane, Comes to Plan
Conquest of Oregon.
1912 VICTORY PREDICTED
SuffrarUt to Arrange 1'orniatlon of
Clubs Throughout State Sex
Iljglrno Course In Primary
Schools Is Adrocatcd.
"Time was never more opportune
for winning- for Oregon women the.
r1tht to vote," declared Mrs. Sarah E.
Commerford. prominent suffrajrist
of Spokane. Wash., at the Portland
yesterday. "Oregon Is the only state
of Importance In the West In which
women do not exercise th rlirht of suf-fi-aae.
There can be so question but
that the eiual suffrage amendmont
- to your stato com tltutlon. which will
be submitted to the voters In Novem
ber. will tx adopted.
"In former contents In this state
the women hav b-en obliged to make
thlr flcht fr suffrage single-handed.
In the. approaching rlnht they will havo
the active a?isUtne of the men, and
prominent men In public life. too.
Through the formation of organiza
tions throuKhout the stato by men. aa
Is proposed, the cause of equal suffrage
will bn ImmenaWy promoted. It is to
the nxn we must appeal in our Hunt,
and we have found that the average
man Is susceptible to argument and
appeal from one of his own sex. where
the request for a vote by a woman Is
generally waved aside.
ftaffraa Held Corrective.
"We do not contend that equal suf
frage will prove a panacea for all
the Imperfections In our public life
of which we complain, but experience
In other states has shown that It ma
terially assists to correct and Improve
those very conditions. Particularly In
the State of Washington women very
generally exercise their right to vote
and with their assistance It Is known
that municipal cond.tlons tn both Se
attle and Tacoma, have been greatly
cleansed and Improved.
"It is not expected that the best
results will Immediately follow the
adoption of woman suffrage In any
state. Woman has so Ions; been lso-
lated from ppbllc affairs, and you
might say Imprisoned tn the home.
' that It necessarily must be a subject
of education for her before she can be
expected to have an understanding of
conditions and what must be done be-
fore aha applies her vote Intelligently
In the consideration and disposition of
; these problems.
Orewesi Cesesert Vereeeea.
"Equal suffrage la only a step In our
10th century evolution. Thla la undo-
. nlably a free country and still we And
. one-half of our population denied the
right of voting and having a voice tn
our government. This right properly
belongs to women and It cannot much
longer be denied to them In a state that
' la both aa progressive and conservative
' aa Is Oregon."
Mrs. Commerford was one or the
active workera tn the suffrage move
ment In Washington. Purine that
campaign ahe served as president of
' the College Equal Suffrage Association.
She Is also an enthusiastic advocate of
Introducing In the publlo schools of the
country the study of sex hygiene.
"For three weeks I have been travel
ing and in that time I have made it my
business to meet and discuss this sub
ject with members of the medical and
legal professions, who know much
shout the standard of morals." said
Mrs. Commerford. "and in this way I
hare learned much that la both as
toundinic and almost Inconceivable. In
some statea study of the sex question
has been introduced In the blgh schools,
but I would have thla Instruction be
gin In the primary grades of the pub
lic schools. False modesty In treating
with this subject and the double stand
ard of morality are largely responsible
for the Immoral conditions found In
every city."
Mrs. Commerford will attend a meet
ing at the Commercial Club tomorrow
night, when initial steps will be taken
towards the organisation of equal suf
frage clubs throughout the state. W. M.
I'avls has arranged for this meeting,
which will be addressed by a number
of prominent men who have held pub
lic office In the state and have hereto
fore opposed granting women the right
to vote.

PAWNBROKERS ASK VETO
w Ordinance Regarding Their
Business Displease Them.
Pawnshop proprietors throughout
the city have united to oppose, the
ordinance passed last week by th City
Council requiring all pawnshops to
mske dally reports to tha police de
partment of all goods taken In pawn
or purchased, together with a complete
description of the person pawning- tha
article.
The ordinance, which waa passed by
unanimous vote, was not protested by
the dealers at tha Counoll meeting be
cause. It la said, none ot the dealers
know such a measur was up for con
sideration. Yesterday a delegation vis
ited Mayor Rushlight and requested
him to veto the ordinance.
Tha measure Is Intended to relieve
tha police department ot the work ot
visiting- the pawnshops and examining
goods, which work requires the en
tire time of several officers. Under
the new system, aa provided In the
ordinance, every article received must
b described in a blank form furnished
the dealer by the police department.
The lists can be checked up each day
and compared with the lists of tha
stolen property kept by the police.
The pawnbrokers say the new rule
will work a hardship on them. The
ordinance requires each person pawn
ing property to be described in detail
aa well, as the article pawned.
