THE 3IORNIXG OTtEGONIAN, THUBSDAT, SEPTEMBER 24, 1914. WOMEN FLARE UP AT MRS.'- STUBBS' TALK Fair Supporters of Senator Chamberlain Put Pointed Questions to Speaker. KEEN REPLIES ARE MADE friend who is well acquainted with of ficers of the Rainbow. The disabled Lelpslg. according to report, was towed into Esquimault har bor by the victorious Rainbow. She is there now undergoing repairs. She will be made seaworthy and placed un derthe British flag. It is the intention of fhe British of ficers, says the Vancouver man, to equip the captured vessel, place her In command of English naval officers and send her out to sea to prey on German merchantmen. Several men on the Lelpslg were killed in the battle with the Rainbow, says the Canadian visitor, but the of ficers and nearly all members of the crew were taken off the vessel after her arrival at Esquimault. They were brought in steam launches to a port near Vancouver, B. C, a few nights after their arrival at Esquimault. and CITY MANAGER PLAN Baker to Vote on Abolishment of Commission Forml Sufrrugifet Outlines Intent to Fight United States Senator Just Be cause He's Democrat and Lively Debate Follows. A group of women supporters of Senator Chamberlain following an ad dress at the Public Library last night by Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs, of the Congressional Union for Woman Suf frage, subjected the speaker to a vol ley of questions in which the pro priety of her campaign was made an issue and a lively half hour'r debate ensued with Mrs. Stubbs on .ne side and the Portland women on the other. Each side had substantial support in the audience. The sentiment of the crowd was reflected by the applause that followed the pointed questions of the Chamberlain supporters or the keen retorts of Mrs. Stubbs. Mrs. Stubbs' principal effort of the evening, however, consisted of an in teresting explanation of her mission in Oregon. She told of the fight in the present Congress for a suffrage reso lution and of the failure of the Dem ocratic party to act upon it. As all legislation is enacted through political parties, she charged the Dem ocratic party with responsibility for the fate of the suffrage amendment in the Sixty-third Congress. All Democrats I'ought. Now It Is the purpose of the Con gressional Union, outlined Mrs. Stubbs, to oppose every Democratic candidate for a Congressional office in the nine states in -which women have' the right to vote. That is the reason she is here to oppose Senator Chamberlain, she said. She will refuse to attack him on any ground other than the suffrage is sue, she asserted. She was emphatic in her declaration that her organiza tion is indifferent as to the identity or the political affiliations of Senator Chamberlain's successor, so long as he is not a Democrat. Following her formal address, Arthur I. Moulton, who presided, invited per sons to ask questions. Mrs. Nellie C. Hughes was the first to accept. "By defeating Senator Chamberlain, what good do you think it would do suffrage?" she asked. "Why, if they see that they are be ing menaced in every state, if some of their men are defeated, the Demo crats will change their tactics," was the reply. "But why pick out Oregon?" insisted Mrs. Hughes. "If we menace them seriously enough we will create a condition that will force them to action," said Mrs. Stubbs. "Mrs. Stubbs explained that her or ganization also is opposing the Demo cratic candidates in every suffrage state. Mrs. Trumbull Takes Turn. Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull was the next Questioner. "You say that you have $15,000 to spend in nine suffrage states," she be ban. "Then why spend it for some thing uncertain? Why work blindly to defeat the Democrats and not know whether you get something that is bet ter? Now in the Progressives you have candidates pledged to support suf rage." "It is the height of folly for the wo men voters to join any political party until all the women have been enfran chised," replied Mrs. Stubbs. "I have refused to join a party." "But you are asking us to vote against a man who helped to give us suffrage in Oregon. Is that fair?" asked Mrs. Trumbull. "In your opinion, is that acting like intelligent women?" "I know it is, absolutely," Mrs. Stubbs answered, smilingly. "As students of political science we have determined that it is precisely the right thing to do." Mrs. Trumbull insisted that Senator Chamberlain is a friend of suffra and Mrs. Stubbs agreed that he is, but insisted that a Congressman's individu al opinions are not what counts. Party is Objective. "It is the party in power that counts," she repeated. "The DenTo crats are in power and so long as the Democratic party, with its heavy Southern representation does not want to pass ,. a. suffrage amendment. Sen ator Chamberrain'"can't help us." Mrs. Trumbull replied with a dis cussion of Democratic tariff legislation and praised the acts of the Democratic party. You can-talk political economy until you are tired," she told Mrs. Stubbs, "but what has that got to do with Denaior vnamDenain .' lr you were consistent you wouia De a socialist or a Progressive parties that are pledged lo suitrage. Mrs. Stubbs admitted that the Re puuucan party aid tne same thing as the Democrats when they had control of Congress, but explained that the suffrage organizations id not have the pumiuiii leverage at. mat time to pun ish them for their acts. Dr. Esther Pohl-Lovejoy asked Mrs. btuDos now sne explained the opposi lion 01 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw to the worn of the Congressional Union. jjr. snaw believes in propaganda worn. we oeueve in political action, was the reply. Airs. Trumbull asked whether Flor ence Kelly, secretary of the National consumers' League, Is in sympathy vvitn tne congressional Union, and Mrs. Stubbs read an extract from Miss Kelly's recent address supporting the movement. "iou cant make loyal suff racists believe you are not being used to pull someone s cnestnuts out of the fire," was Airs, xrumnuus next remark. "And don t you think it would be disloyal to senator Chamberlain to turn him down after what he has done for suffrage? inquired Mrs. Hughes. "It is not that we love Senator Chamberlain less, but that we love suf frage more," came the answer from a woman in the audience, and Mrs, Stubbs nodded and smiled her approval.

It is the theory of the Canadian au thorities that the German government is still unaware of the fate of the Leip g, and tor this reason they are trying to maintain secrecy. One of the Cana dian newspapers printed a reference to the incident but did not mention It again, and it is thought that the publi cation was .severely criticised by the authorities.

City Lighting Is Issue. BAKER, Or.. Sept. 23. (Special.) Baker will have a multiplicity of elec tions next month. In addition to the state and county -elections the voters of the city will have a primary elec tion for the nomination of a Mayor and a Commissioner under the present commission form of government and 10 days later will have a city election at which the Mayor ar.d Commissioner will be chosen. At the same time there will be a vote on a proposal to abolish the commission form of government and to substitute therefor the city man ager system. The proposal has already been made and the petitions have been circulated and filed. This measure provides for another election, 15 days later, in the event that the city manager system carries. It .provides that there shall be elected six Councilmen or Commission ers, who shall employ a city manager at a salary of $2400, the Commissioners to serve without pay except a nominal sum for attendance at meetings. Charles Palmer, Mayor, and George Henry, Commissioner, have already filed their declarations of candidacy to succeed themselves but there have been no other entrants into the race. There is also another measure to be submitted to the voters for the reduc tion of the pay of the Mayor and two Commissioners from $3000 and $2000 a year, respectively, to $1500 and $1200. This measure has virtually no support ers and is believed to be a "spite meas ure." Many persons profess to see In the proposal to abolish the commission form of government system a move on the part of those Inimical to the mu nicipal lightning plant, which was in augurated by the City Commissioners several months ago. Various organi zations opposed this plant at the time it was built, but the voters, by an over whelming majority, declared them selves in favor of such a plant and it was built, resulting, the reports have shown, in a material saving to the city. Thie system is for lightning the streets and city buildings only. Pos sibility of tne present officials extend ing the plant to include city light for residences is said to have aroused cer tain enmities and to be the reason for the desire to overthrow the commis slon form of government.

"We put Lincoln's words forward," says the Spectator, "not for immediate needs, but because they are so wise and stimulating and because at the moment people will really listen on a question of universal service.
