PROMPT RESPONSE GIVEN fathering at Hotel Multnomah Is Stirred by Cross-Country Re quest and Talks on Stand of President Are Made. IM P A -!) PLEDGE TRANS MITTED BETWEEN CHICAGO AND PORTLAND BY TELE PHONE LAST NIGHT. Women voters: Will you re member, for the sake of the 20, 000,000 disfranchised women In the East, that "Wilson has kept us out of suffrage? We appeal to you to be loyal to women and do and a Congress hostile to political freedom for women. Vote against President Wilson and the Demo- cratic candidates for Congress. Harriet Stanton Blatch, speaking in Chicago. We believe that Oregon women will use their first opportunity to express themselves in National matters, to help other women. They will in part pay the debt of t Western women to the Eastern , women, of the past and of the I present, whose struggles have helped to make possible our so- Ecial and political freedom. The free will help the unfreed. To t night Democratic women here are speaking for you. Miss Emma I Wold, replying in Portland. A large gathering of Portland women Interested In the enfranchisement of the women of the United States assembled In the tearoom of the Hotel Multnomah last night to hear the plea of the East given by Harriet Stanton Blatch, ask ing for the help of the West in freeing the 20.000,000 women of the East. Dr. Florence Manion presided, and while waiting for the telephone call asked for a few words of encourage ment and co-operation from' several prominent women. Just as Mrs. W. J. Hawkins was finishing her speech the great moment arrived. The bell sound ed. Immediately everything was still, and then over the wire all the way from Chicago came the voice of Mrs. P.latch, daughter of the great Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and herself one of the best-known workers in the suffrage cause, pleading for the loyalty of the enfranchised women. Promise of Help Given. Miss Wold, who held the receiver, gave the reply and the promise in a clear, steady voice, but with tears In her eyes, so deeply was she moved by the earnestness of the supplication. "Those who are free will stand by those who are not free," she promised. When the receiver was oncemore on the hook. Miss Wold told of the many great reforms in history that had been accomplished in what was. then thought to be inopportune times. She spoke of Lincoln as the emancipator of 3.000, 000, and said that it had been said the president has had a chance to be the emancipator of 20.000,000 woman and he had refused, and it is now ut to the women of the West to give the vote to those who have it not. Women Want Justice, She Says. Miss Gertrude Talbot declared that Fhe had been prejudiced against the Congressional Union and the Woman's Party at first, but when she understood n sne nearuiy tavorea me raetnoa. "The Democratic party is now In power, and it refuses to pass the Susan B. Anthony amendment," -said Miss Tal bot. "I say, let us give the Repub liqans a chance. Wise statesmen will pee that to alienate a great host of leading women would be a national evil beyond repair. All the women want Is simple justice. We declare .that our cause is just. We want a man in of fice who will prove his -honesty by helping us to win our cause at once by the easiest method, and that is why my faith is in Charles Evans Hughes." Wilson Refuses Opportunity. Miss Margaret Whittemore made her appeal as a woman of the East, asking the women of the West to stand, to gether solidly and vote against the man who had had every chance to prove his respect for women and their rights and who had turned his back on these rights Miss Mary Gertrude Fendall, of Balti more, said, "It is time that Wilson's 'states rights' theories are done away with. If the Democrats want anything done they say there must be Federal action. If they don't want anything put through, they say 'state method.' At least that has been their attitude in regard to suffrage." Mrs. W. J. Hawkins told of the struggle that had been going on for 60 years and said that now the time has come for women to stand together for freedom. "I honor the men who do so much for the women; who are so chivalrous and fine. But why can't these same men let women be individuals? They will if they see the enfranchised women stand together for their sisters and vote against Mr. Wilson who has opposed women in this great struggle," she said.

National Hughes Alliance, was greeted by full houses, enthusiastic audiences, who listened to his appeal for good citi zenship and Charles Evans Hughes with interest. As to the situation here, Mr. Tooze said: "I had been Informed that Lincoln County was for Wilson. Having .ad dressed audiences of voters at Toledo, Siletz and Newport, I will say that there is no doubt that Hughes will carry Lincoln County, and he is gain ing every day. And I want to say that the personnel of the local Republican ticket is the best it has been for a score of years, and its entire , election is gene'rally conceded even by the Democrats." At the Siletz Agency Mr. Tooze spoke In a. church, where the audience was largely composed of well-educated In dians. The preponderance of Hughes buttons was noticeable, and after the speech several who were known to be followers of Wilson called for Hughes pins. " Father of 17 Is Only 38. HARRODSBUHG. Ky., Oct. 31.

Just what condition the merchant marines of the countries now engaged in the conflict will be in to compete with the merchant marine in this coun try, growing with every" month the war is prolonged, is one problem which attracts attention and surmise. Portland will be one of the peaceful battlefields on which any trade war following the close of the present hos tilities In Europe will be fought out. In the belief of leading shippers and com mercial men. Lumber Demand Expected. The commerce of Portland, with Its great supply of lumber, will be par ticularly valuable to the European powers. Vast shipments of lumber will be required to build up structures torn down by the ravages of war and this is apparently realized by officials in Europe. Oregon fir. with its qualities of lightness and strength, will be par ticularly desirable in this work of re claiming the war-shattered countries. In addition to strictly commercial ventures there will also, in the opin ion of shipping men, be a rush to place contracts for the construction of ves sels to augment the merchant fleets required for any successful commer cial war. Portland, with Its large number of newly established yards for the . construction of both wooden and steel vessels, promises to be able to play an important part in this work. Any commercial war apparently can not fail to be of material benefit to Portland. British Inquiries Koneroai, rt. Jj. snerwood, British Consul, savs he Is constantly receiving comraunica tlons from England with reference to the possibilities for making this port the object of commercial ventures. Norway, it is believed, will play an active part in any commercial warfare in the future. Interests in that coun try have gained possession of many additional ships since the opening of the war. Mr. Sherwood says It is impossible to say what sort of & merchant marine England will have available, for serv ice when the war closes, owing to "the fact that most of the shipyards of the country are engaged in the construc tion of war vessels. C. Henri Labbe, French consular agent, also saidN that the condition of his country for carry ing on commercial enterprises when peace is Anally declared cannot now be predicted. Of Germany's commercial intentions and her ability to carry forward any ventures of.that character, Fritz Kirch' off, royal German Consul, declared him self to be wholly in the dark, since he was unable to get any definite infor mation from official sources. "All I know," he said, "is the press reports of extensive shipbuilding oner ations in Germany and plans reported by the same source for large commer cial enterprises. I am practically cut oil from the government at Berlin and consequently know nothing definite." T00ZE SAYS LINCOLN WON Republican Sweep In County Is Pre dieted In Speech. TOLEDO, Or.. Nov. 5.

Russell's Work Is Recalled at Memorial. IDEALS INSPIRED, HE SAYS PASTOR GIVES WARNING DR. BOYD SAYS CRISIS FACES AXD DECADENCE THREATENS. Itev. IV. A. Baker Tells of Forecasts of Coming of Great Revolution Which "Would Hasten Kingdom and Era of Good Will. A large number of members and friends of the Associated Bible students attended the memorial services for t-asior Russell last night at Chrlsten- sens.hall, and listened to an Interest ing lecture by Rev. W. A. Baker. Rev. Mr. Baker spoke of Pastor Russell as a man firm in his convictions and a steaaiast follower of his ideals. the true measure of a man is never taKen by any contemporary generation The prophet is seldom without honor save in the age In which he lives," he salt. r "They live too close to the field of action and are blinded by the dust of me conriict. with every man who has lert his stamp upon the world. Pastor Russell believed supremely that he had a mission in life to perform and con sistently lived up to that ideal. The purpose dominated every other issue. Of the life of Pastor Russell, Rev. Mr. Baker 6aid: "Charles Taze Russell was born In Allegheny. Pa., February 18,. 1852, of Congregational parents, and was mar- riea in his wife surviving him. His public ministry began in 1876, about which time he rellnaulshed a very lucrative business to entor th. Christian ministry. His activity had been directed very generally along in dependent lines of Bible study. ai nis aeatn he was president nt the Watch Tower Bible and Tract So ciety of Pennsylvania, the Peoples Pul pit Association of New York, and the International Bible Students' Associa tion of London, England. These organ izations - have active branches in all parts of the world. He was pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, the New York City Temple and the London Taber nacle. He traveled thousands of miles annually in ministering to the 600 con gregations which had elected him as their pastor. "The one great burden of his every sermon, running like a golden thread Love of Excitement and Pleasure Axe Declared to Be Slams of Decline That America Must Overcome. With the church crowded to hear his ante-election sermon. Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, last night sounded a warning note when he declared that unless America paid more attention to its spiritual growth she would follow Greece and Rome In dissolution. Dr. Boyd besought his congregation to rise above the issues of the cam paign and look to the great crisis that he contends is Imminent. Excessive urbanization, the deca dence of the leaders of a nation, the stultifying of the spiritual mind by a love of excitement and pleasure, he blamed for a present condition that threatens America with decay. "Life shall be based upon spiritual and not material things," said Dr. .Boyd. "Science is endeavoring to rob mankind of his spiritual being. If you do not spiritualize your science it will lie like a blot upon your civilization. "Germany now stands before the Judgment seat of eternity. England is arraigned before the bar of eternal justice. France has been dismissed from court a dying nation. Let us rise above the petty Issues of the elec tion and come to a realization of the awfulness of God's Judgment upon the nation that will not serve him.

WWEM VOTERS Prohibitionists declare that as soon as a state gives to women the right of suffrage, the state will vote "dry," because, as they state, it is easy to appeal to women's emotionalism and arouse prejudice against even beer by citing horrible examples caused by . raw alcoh "nd strong whisky. WOMEN' VOTERS Do not let yourself be misled by these lying state ments. Use your own judgment. The so-called "drys" see as much evil in mother's brandy sauce and mince pie as in "forty-rod" whisky. Any one who is sincere knows that a mild beer is harmless and that it discourages the use of stronger liquor and should be allowed because its use means true temperance. This is aside from any reason of being fair and just to home industry. Do you not think it is far better to allow the man ufacture and sale of a light, harmless beer in the same quantity as now imported into the state than to subject your sons and daughters to the temptations and pitfalls of the bootlegger, the alcohol and drug fiend, and the strong liquors now imported? Kansas, with a similar law to Oregon, has three times more delinquent juveniles than Nebraska, although of practically the same population. In 1914 202 of the 396 boys sent to the reform a tory were victims of bootlegging, and yet "drys" cry " Save the boy." Which will you have, sane, sensible, fair regu lation, or Kansas' infamous system? VOTE 314 X YES (Paid Advertisement.) through all his writing. Is the coming of a universal kingdom of peace and good will under Messiah. The immt nency of this Kingdom and the events to precede its establishment wr con stantly reiterated in an active minis try of 40 years. "Thus, he hd repeatedly declared that the year 1914 would be momentous in that it would witness the introduc tion of events which would culminate in the overthrow of present Institu tions and the establishment t that Kingdom for which the Messiah taught us to pray.
