Suffrage Iieader Declares Congress
ional Union Is Out to Defeat
All, Including Chamberlain.
Indorsement Predicted.
"We are nothing' but practical poli
ticians,- Insists Mrs. Jessie Hardy
Stubbs, present chairman for the Con
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage.
who will speak at the Public Library
tonight in opposition to all the Demo
cratic candidates for Congress.
'No, there is not a bit of sentiment
connected with our fight The Demo
crats have turned us down at Wash
ington and now we are-out to defeat
the Democrats. It is not revenge that
we are after, but results," said Mrs.
stubbs.
"All that we want' is suffrage. The
Democrats have given us to understand
that we can't get it while they are in
office, so we have set out to get the
Democrats out of office.
"Any practical politician will recog
nize that as political expediency."
Caae of Klsrat-Back Type.
Then Mrs. Stubbs read extracts from
current reports of Congressional activ
ity to show that "political expediency"
largely governs the motives and actions
of all political parties in framing leg
islation. It so happens, she explained, that
the Democrats are in power at Wash
ington. If they have considered it ex
pedient t ignore the appeals of the
suffrage organizations in their efforts
to adopt a resolution providing for a
suffrage amendment. Mrs. Stubbs and
her co-workers propose to show the
Democrats that they acted unwisely.
"Yes, we expect to make it so hot for
the Democrats in this campaign that
they -will be forced to place a suffrage
plank in their platform two years from
now," Mrs. Stubbs declared.
"But I warn them that then it'will
bo too late too late.
General Indorsement Predicted. .
I predict now that everyone of the
parties Democrats and Republicans,
as well as the Socialists and Progres
sives will indorse equal suffrage at
its National convention in 1916. The
Socialists long have been with us. The
Progressives had a suffrage plank two
years ago, but it wasn't because they
were crazy about suffrage. It was po
litical expediency that's all.
"I know about that Progressive
plank, for wasn't I at Oyster Bay for
ceven months and didn't they have to
talk to Colonel Roosevelt for nearly
that whole time to. convince him that
it would win some votes to 1 indorse
suffrage ?
"Now, if the Republicans and Demo
crats Indorse suffrage two years from
now, it won't be that they love suf
frage. It will be through political ex
pediency. We know that, but we don't
care what are their motives, so long as
we get it. Get it, that's all we want.
Time to Act Loom.
"The time for propaganda work is
fast. The time for cold, hard political
action is here.
"That's what we are doing in this
campaign. We are out to defeat the
Democrats, because we realize that as
a political proposition all those ques
tions ' can be handled only through a
political party. , An individual member
of Congress is but a cog in the ma
chine He is helpless. We are op
posing Senator Chamberlain in Oregon
merely because he happens to be a
member of the party that turned us
dowiu We are treating him entirely
in an impersonal way.
"We don't care which one of his op
ponents Mr. Booth or Mr. Hanley is
elected. We are out to beat Chamber
lain. That's all we want."
Mrs. Stubbs will be introduced at to
night's meeting by Arthur I. Moulton,
Progressive candidate for Congress. At
tiie next meeting she probably will
liave a Republican or a Socialist to
preside.
Organisation la Nonpartiua.
The organization of . which Mrs.
Stubbs is a member is purely non

its name indicates, of German resi
dents of Portland, has indorsed Dr.
Withycombe for the Governorship. In
the primary election this organization
supported Gus Moser for the Repub
lican nomination, but, "recognizing the
sterling merits of Dr. Withycombe."
the last meeting, which was held in
the offices of Woerndle & Haas in the
Stock Exchange building, adopted
resolutions indorsing the Republican
nominee. The organization consists of
several hundred members.
W. Grisenthwait, . of Beaver Creek
precinct, Clackamas County, reports
that Booth will receive a big- vote in
that precinct and that the remainder of
the ticket, will run with him.
Booth, Withycombe and Hawley will
be given a heavy vote in Mullno, Clatek
amas County, according to advices re
turned yesterday by G. W. Smith, Re
publican committeeman.
The Linn County Republican central
committee will meet at Albany next

"T know nothing to keep the Repub
lican ticket from polling its full reg
istered vote." writes F. M. Browne of
Brownsville, in his report to Edward
D. Baldwin, secretary of the Repub
lican state committee. "The Democratic
attacks on Mr. Booth are reacting in
his favor."
Joe J. Thornton, of Wilsonville, ad
vises that prospects are very bright
for Republican success in that district.
"Democratic times surely mean Re
publican votes," is his philosophy.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the Oregon Life Underwriters' Associa

water power.
N. D. Eliot, of Salem, secretary of the
Marion County Republican committee.
was in Portland yesterday and an
nounced that there is much activity
among the women of Marion in the
forthcoming election. Some of the.
women voters are organizing them
selves into clubs to support the Repub

C. B. Moores. chairman of the Re
publican state committee, will go to
Salem today to arrange with the Sec
retary of State for publication of Re
publican campaign material in the

"The outlook in this vicinity is good
for the Republican party, writes Mrs.
G. W. Short, of Wilber, in a letter to
E. D. Baldwin, secretary of the state
committee.
Mr. Booth lived at Wilber as a youth
and attended school there. Many Demo
crats therefore will vote for him, she
advises.
"Democratic tariff measures t have
produced nothing for this county but
tramps along the - highways," advises
Jeremiah Huntley, of Gold Beach, who
brands himself "an old warhorse." . Mr,
Huntley is a, Civil War veteran and is
active in Republican ranks - in Curry
County. He says that the "old .sol
diers" along the coast are doing all
they can for the Republican candidates.
He says many Democrats expect to
vote for Dr. Withycombe for Governor.

Master of Teddy Bear, in Nome on
Return From live-Year Trip in
, Arctic, Holds Hope of Reach
lag Banks Land Slight.
NOME, Alaska, Sept. 22. Captain Joe
Bernard, of the schooner . Teddy Bear,
who has just returned from a five-year
trading and exploring voyage in the
Arctic Ocean, fears that Vilhjaimur
Stefansson. Ole Anderson and Stergen
Stergensen, who left Martin Point, east
of Barter River, March 22 last, heading
due north in search of new land, will
never be heard from again.
Stefansson expected to reach Banks
Land, to the eastward, but Captain
Bernard says the ice is and has been
moving continually to the westward,
so that if the adventurous three ever
set foot on shore again their first land
will be Siberia. The ice movement
has been rapid the past Summer.
Captain Bernard, on his voyage from
the mouth of the Mackenzie SJver,
passed the three powerboats of the Ste
fansson fleet, the Alaska, Mary Sachs
and North Star, east of Demarcation
Point. The Mary Sachs, commanded
by Captain Peter Bernard, Joe s
nephew, was 80 miles ahead of the
other two ships. Captain Joe Bernard
spent a day with Dr. Rudolph M. An
derson 'on the Alaska.
The Mary Sachs was pusing ahead
to establish a camp and maintain a
lookout on Banks Land for Stefansson
and his ice party, in obedience to in
structions.
Dr. Anderson, with the Alaska and
North Star, was bound for Winter
quarters at Dolphin and Union Straits,
between Wollaston and Victoria lands.
The boats had only 200 miles further to
go and were sure of reaching their
destination, as there was no ice to bin
der them. All the men on the three
boats were well.

Propkets of Profit
TE believe the lean days are over. We
V believe prosperity is here the greatest
boom times we have known in a generation
v " Every keen-visioned man can see it. The
armies of Europe fighting for military
power have combined to make America
the world's great commercial power. Dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914,
the United States imported $1,892,000,000
worth of goods. A pretty good item for
our own manufacturers to supply this
year. In addition, our mills must double
their exports to make up for the goods
Europe cannot supply. The figures are
dazzling the profits stupendous.

Reliability
is what a 'doctor must be' assured of in recom
mending a food or drink. He must know that it
is honest, efficient, pure and wholesome.
In cases of nervousness, heart flutter, head
ache, biliousness, indigestion, etc., where the pa
tient is a coffee drinker, most doctors order:
"Quit coffee and use Postum."
Doctors recommend Postum because they
know that it is a pure food-drink absolutely
free from the drug, caffeine, which makes coffee
injurious to most users.
It is significant that thousands of physi- ;
cians not only recommend, but themselves use
its worth having been fully demonstrated, not only in the home, but in San
itariums, Hospitals and Colleges.
Postum now cornea in two forms:
Regular Postum must be well boiled 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum soluble no boiling made in the cup with hot water, instantly. 30c
and 50c tins.
Both kinds are delicious cost per cup about the same sold by Grocers everywhere.

DISTRICT'S JTHRIFT SHOWN
Centervllle and Goldendale Ship
4 3 6,277 Bushels of Wheat.
Indicative of the development now in
progress in the territory tributary to
the North Bank road is the report of
grain shipments from two points on the
Goldendale branch received yesterday
by W. C. Wilkes. assistant general
freight and passenger agent of the
road.
These stations are Centervllle and
Goldendale 10 miles apart. They serve
virtually the same territory. Last year
they Bhlpped 436.706 bushels of wheat.
This year the same stations shipped
4S6.277 bushels up to September 12.
More than 125,000 bushels remain yet
to be moved.
When it is taken into consideration
that farmers this year are getting ap
proximately 1 a bushel for their wheat,
the additional volume, with the in
creased price, will combine to bring a
lot of new money into the Goldendale
territory.
