Polls Open From 12 Noon to 8 P.M. REMEMBER The thousands of children that are now overcrowded in 1 Portland's school buildings. These thousands of little children are your children. They are the most precious asset of the city. They are compelled by law to attend school. They ask for a seat for full time, in a regular school house, properly lighted, ventilated and heated. They ask to be enrolled in grades of normal size. They will not be content with a patchwork policy which erects a series of buildings at irregular intervals in deference to neighborhood clamor. They want a programme which immediately takes care of all parts of the city. They want nothing radical or extravagant. They ask a city, which has freely given millions of dollars to all sorts of helpful work during the conflict to make the world a decent place in which to live, to imme diately provide for its own children. They do not wish to wait until that vague time when building materials and their fathers' wages shall pos sibly be reduced. AND REMEMBER That there exists in Portland several thousand peo ple who always vote against a bond issue. Those people will be out today. They have not advanced a reason or argument against this bond issue and its Opponents Admit That We Need New School Buildings.
