PROMPT RESPONSE GIVEN
fathering at Hotel Multnomah Is
Stirred by Cross-Country Re
quest and Talks on Stand

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.

Consular service, particularly In the
United States, has taken on a new sig
nificance, and already representatives
of foreign countries in Portland are
beginning to study the situation with
reference to the possibilities for com
merce following the close of the pres
ent war.
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."

Itev. IV. A. Baker Tells of Forecasts

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.

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

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

tion and come to a realization of the
awfulness of God's Judgment upon the
nation that will not serve him. '

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,
