COUNTY SPLIT THREATENED
Unless Fairer Sex Recognized Thej
Will Organize Own Club, Fore'
i ' cast Body Elects Officers
and Adopts Platform.
Cspeclal zest was added to what
otherwise was a lively enough little
session of the newly formed Mult
nomah County Progressive Club In the
Hotel Oregon last night, when Mrs.
M. L. T. Hidden, defeated by a man.
Oliver M. Hickey. for the secretary
ship of the club, vigorously scolded
the men present for not giving the
women consideration in handing out
the offices.
Outside of this, however, and an
other exciting digression or two, the
meeting', which was very well attend
ed, accomplished some serious results.
The vote for Mr. Hickey was 43 to 20
for Mrs. Hidden. The club Just pre
viously had elected a man president
and four men vice-presidents, and
when the vote for secretary was
added to this Mrs. Hidden could not
restrain her disapproval.
"Sow. I want to tell you something.
she began determinedly. "I had made
up my mind that I wouldn't take the
office anyway, but I did not withdraw
my name because I wanted to see just
what the Progressive party would do
when a woman's name waa brought up.
You have done here Just what I
; thought you would do.
j ; Woman's Party Threatened.
' T Jo think," went on Mrs. Hidden
I "with Increasing warmth, "that It's a
great mistake that you do not recog
nize some women at this meeting.
You'll have to recognize the women of
Multnomah County better -or we women
will organize a woman's Progressive
party ourselves.
"I say for the benefit of you all,
' and tor the good of the Progressive
narty." she concluded still more
warmly, "that unless you recognize
the women of Multnomah County as
vaters vou are going to lose out."
Strenuous efforts were made by sev
eral Progressives to point out to Mrs.
Hidden that two women. Miss Mary
Hill and Mrs. Hidden herself had been
nominated for vice-presidencies and
had withdrawn. She refused to be
reconciled to the situation. This led
Ben Kiesland to remark that Mrs.
Hidden was mistaken.
"We nominated two women for vice
president and they both withdrew;
how could we vote for them when they
withdrew?" queried Mr. Riesland.
"When Mrs. Hidden was nicely beaten
by a man she ought to take it nicely.
I like to see a good loser."
- "I am not objecting abont my own
case. You don't understand," was
Mrs. Hldden's retort.
Opinion on Women Divided.
Mrs. Hidden had been nominated for
secretary by Arthur Moulton after Mr.
Hickey's name had already been
placed before the club. Mr. Moulton
made the plea that he thought there
was no office in the club too difficult
for a woman to handle and handle well
and that he considered Mrs. Hidden a
good woman for the place. Others
declared, however, that the duties of
secretary of a political club are of
such a nature that a woman secretary
often would be put in embarrassing
situations and that a man-for that rea
son should be chosen.
Mr. -Hickey's election resulted.
Previous to this, following the adop
tion of a constitution and by-laws, the
election of a permanent president of
the club brought out a warm contest
between Sanfleld Macdonald and D. L
Povey. of Povey Bros. Mr. Povey, who
was nominated by Mrs. Hidden, finally
triumphed by a vote of 40 to 27, but
not before Charles W. Ackerson had
caused some feeling by taking ex
ception to a statement that Mr. Povey
was "a man of means.

OPINION IS DIVIDED
Senators Stand 6 to 6 on Cur
rency Reform.
COMPROMISE IS EXPECTED
Don't go out and make the Pro
grressive party a party of money," im
plored Mr. Ackerson. "Money should
be no disqualification for office. Be
cause a man has $150,000 is no reason
why he should bo elected. It would
be a shame to send Mr. Macdonald
back to his wife and family because he
is a salaried man."
"I don't know whether Mr. Poved
has 10 cents or $10," retorted Mrs. Hid
den. "I do know that I have known
him for 25 years as a leading- business
man of this city and a good man n
every way."
Mr. Povey was vigorously cheered
when he took the chair after bis 'ec
tion.
The four vice-presidents, whose dec
tlons were made unanimous after Miss
Mary Hill and Mrs. Hidden had with
drawn, were Sanfield Macdonald, first
vice-president; Levi Myers, second
vice-president; J. D. Lewis,, third vice
president, and Lon L, Parker, fourth
vice-president.
There was a general rush to nomi
nate women for the treasurershlp,
which came after the ballot on secre
tary. Miss Mary Hill was elected by
25 votes to 21 for Mrs. Katharine Car
penter. Mrs. T. B. Neuhausen was a
close third.
Loyalty I. Declared.
About 70 persona attended the meet
ing, which was for the purpose of per
fecting permanent organization of the
club. Among them was Levi Myers,
past the three-score-and-ten mark, who
said they couldn't keep him away when
there was a Progressive meeting to
attend.
One of the measures adopted by the
club was an article in its bylaws pro
hibiting the club from indorsing any
candidate for office before the primary.
It was also decided that the club
should hold a noonday lunch once each
week and should go after new members
on the "catch-my-pal" plan.
After much argument, several of the
members maintaining that though they
heartily favored both measures they
felt they should not properly coma, be
fore a political body for action for or
against, the club Indorsed the Univer
sity of Oregon appropriations, 27 to 14,
and the workmen's compensation act,
S3 votes to 8.

Chairman Owen Believes Adminis
tration Plan W ill Prevail, but
Number of Reserve Banks
May Be Cut Down.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. A threat
ened deadlock In the Senate banking
and currency committee over the pro
posal to substitute a Government
owned, central bank for the regional
reserve bank plan In the Administra
tion currency bill became apparent to
day, when the committee began execu
tive consideration of the measure. Dis.
cussion was confined to the central re
serve bank proposal, and, while no vote
was taken, the debate disclosed six
Senators for the Government-controlled
central bank and six for the Adminis
tration regional system. ,
The five Republicans on the commit
tee. Senators Weeks, McLean, Nelson,
Crawford and Bristow, argued for the
central- bank. They were joined by
Senator Hitchcock, one of the Demo
crats, who has opposed the Administra
tion bill in many of its provisions.
Reed and (FGorman in Line.
Senators Reed and O'Gorman, who
had expressed themselves in favor of
the central bank plan, swung Into line
with the other Democrats for the Ad
ministration plan.
The vote was delayed until tomorrow
and Chairman Owen at the close of to.
night's session said be believed the
Administration plan finally would be
adopted.
"Both Bides have shown a conciliatory
disposition." he said, "and I believe the
vote tomorrow will dispose of the mat
ter to everybody's satisfaction. The
matter will be discussed thoroughly be
fore vote is taken.
Members of the committee expressed
the belief tonight that in view of the
opposition to the central bank scheme
that plan would be rejected, but that
the committee would take advantage of
the President's concession to reduce the
number of regional reserve banks pro
vided for by the bill from 12 to as
low as four or five.
Compromise Plan Explained.
A compromise plan along these lines
was suggested yesterday by Professor
J. W. Jenks. Under his plan, the prof
its of the Federal reserve banks would
be pooled and distributed by the "Fed
eral reserve board among the banks
pro rata according to their capital
stock. The reserves would be pooled
under the control of the Federal board.
This, Professor Jenks said,- would unify
the system.

Mr. Scott was accompanied by W. R.
Skey, special agent of the traffic de
partment of the O.-W. R. & N. .Com
pany. They arranged for the accom
modation of a special train party of
tourists through Portland early in Jan
uary. This party will be recruited
from parts of Canada tributary to the
Canadian Pacific. A second special
may be chartered.
"But the bulk of the travel," says Mr.
Scott, will not come on these specials.
It will move on the regular trains.
"These Canadian tourists-formerly
passed their Winters in Florida and
other parts of the South. Now we
have diverted them to Oregon and
California. These Canadians are be
coming interested in this part of the
country and invariably they stop here
several days both on the southbound
and the northbound journey."
