Head of Overseas Forces Speaks at
Banquet in Chamber of
Commerce Rooms.
"I deliberately chose the Meuse
Argonne sector, the most difficult,
the! most strongly fortified, the moet
important in the entire line ahead of
the allied forces because I knew
that, of all the commands on the
front, mine was the best army of
them all," said General John J.
Pershing last night at a banquet in
his honor at the Chamber of Com
merce, and when he said it, there
were deafening cheers for several
minutes.
"The time came," continued the
general 'wht$ it was necessary to

General Pershing's statement as to
how the war was brought so sudden
ly to a successful allied victory came
as a great surprise to the large crowd.
that packed the Chamber . of Com
merce main dining room to the'doors
and overflowed into the corridors
last night. It was all the more un
expected because of the- fact that he
has not previously seen fit to make
such a statement of the inside facts
relating to this important feature of
the war.
"I have been traveling a long time
eaid General Pershing, prefacing his
statement, "and the further west I
have come, the more free I feel to
speak. I have got about as far west
as I can go, so I am going to tell you
how the war was brought to a sud
den close."
Deep Interest Shown.
The great crowd leaned forward
eagerly to ' catch every word. It
listened with the utmost attention as
the general, in a quiet, matter-of-fact
manner, related the story of the vic
tory that was brought about by the
American army.
General Pershing was full of fun
and jokingly criticised the arrange
ments for the banquet, when he arose
to speak after being introduced by
H. B. Van Duzer, president of the
Chamber of Commerce.
'"I think, the arrangements for the
reception and entertainment to my
self and staff have been admirable
up to the present time." said the gen
eral, without a hint of a smile. "But
5t is a puszle to me why I, a perfect
stranger to you, should be placed at
the head table here with a lot of men
I don't care anything about and all
the good-looking women who have
come to the banquet are clear over
there beyond reach.'
There was a burst of laughter, and
the general then began his brief ad
dress. He lauded the city of Port
land, saying it is one of the most pa
triotic, giving not only its money, but
its patriotic spirit as well, in support
of the war.
Sympathy Is Appreciated,
"Your people did more than their
allotted share," said General Pershing.

Conference Committee Finally KI-
fects Agreement on Measures
to Go .to People.
SALEM. Or, Jan. 18. (Special.)
Although in theory the hands of the
clock had not yet reached the noon j
hour Saturday, tne nouee, alter oeing
in session almost continuously for 16
hours, adjourned finally at 3:15
o'clock this morning. A few minutes
later the legislators packed their be
longings, quietly slipped out of the
statehouse, and in most instances left
for their homes on early morning
trains.
Proceedings tn the closing hours
were marked by an attempt on me
part of the senate eo to amend the
house bill providing for a special
election on May 21 that the ballot
would include all measures enacted
at the special cession on which -the
referendum might be invoked. u ne
fight for this amendment was led by
Senator Jkloser and precipitatea a
brief but spirited debate in the upper
house.
Validity Held Endangered.
Upon being reported back to the
house the argument was advanced
that the amendments might endanger
the validity of the law tn tnat mere
would be insufficient time to dis-r
tribute the voters' pamphlet between
the last day allowed for the referen
dum of any particular measure or
group of measures and tne election.
In other words, it was asserted on
the floor of the house that under the
nresent law the people have 90 days
after a bill is filed in which to refer
it to the voters, and if tne proposea
senate amendments were accepted the
voters would be deprived of the
pamphlets containing argument for
and against the proposed, legislation
to be submitted.
Conference Lively One.
A Joint conference committee com
posed of three members of the house
and two members of the senate was
then appointed to investigate the
proposed amendments to the original
bill and report its findings to the
house. A lively discussion prevailed
at the conference, it is said, but final
ly it was agreed that only those con
stitutional amendments and meas
ures enacted at the special session, to
gether with a senate resolution relat
ing to the acquisition of private lands
for public purposes passed at the
regular session of the legislature in
1919, should be included on the ballot
at the special election.
The original election bill, with
slight amendments, then passed the
house by an almost unanimous vote
and later was concurred in by the
senate.
Legislators hero today said they ex
pected the governor would sign prac
tically all the bills passed and reso
lutions adopted, with the possible ex
ception of the measure relating to the
straight party ballot. A total of 86
bills passed both houses, according to
tabulation made here today.
TICKET BILL IS CLARIFIED
Two Methods Available to Voter
for Marking Ballot.
There is some confusion of opinion
regarding the meaning of the straight
party ticket bill passed by the legis
lature in its closing hours. Under the
provisions of the bill, an elector can
vote a straight p-r.y ticket by mak
ing a mark in a circle at the head of
the party ticket.- If the elector wishes
to vote the party ticket, but also sup
port a candidate of another party, he
marks his party ticket and draws a
line through the name of the andi
date of his own party whom he is
eliminating and makes a cross op
posite the name of the opponent on
the other ticket. By this arrangement
it is construed that he votes for all
the candidates on his party ticket
with the exception of those elimin
ated.
Another method is for the elector
tc make an X. at the left of the name
of the candidate he wishes to vote for,
for each office, or to the left of the
answer he wishes to make to each
question submitted to electors. This
second method, indicated in the bill.
is the one now in vogue. The argu
ment of advocates of the bill is that a
voter can vote his ticket straight, or
he can scratch it in spots, or he can
roam at will over the ballot, making
his selections as under the presen
law.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan.
18. (Special.) In one corner a
group of tired but thankful sen
ators was singing:
"Hail, hail, the gang's all here."
At the rear of the senate chamber
Walter Pierce, democratic war-horse
from La Grande, had his sun-tanned

General Pershing then became still
more serious and, as hush fell upon
the meeting, said:
"I hope that the time never will
come when this country will find it
self so unprepared as it was at the
beginning of the war. I hope the les
sons we learned will do some good in

From the top of a paper-littered
desk at the north side of the cham
ber a pleading voice cried out
"Mr. President, I move that the
courtesies of the senate be extended
to the Honorable John Barleycorn.

of John Gill arose above the din with

"Well, boys, we're through," was
the happy shout of President Vinton.
At the instant, and of one accord,
the lawmakers and attaches took up
the strains of "Auld Lang Syne," un
til the volume swelled to such a
pitch the parting melody resounded
throughout the capitol halls.

the balance arose and led our forces
to victory. I think it would be out

great pleasure ia presenting him
with a thud as the last echo of the
old song had died in the distance.
The extraordinary session of the
Oregon state legislature was at an
end.
It has been many years since such
a scene of wild but good-natured
hilarity has reigned about the legis
lative halls during the dying mo
ments of, a legislative cession, jfpi
more than an hour the business of
both branches was at a standstill
while conference committees war
hard at work putting the finishing
toucnes on the last bill the one au
thorizing the special election on May
, mis year.
It was shortly after midnight that
the senate realized that it had
cleared up its long list of bills and
measures on the overworked cal
endar. The last bill to come over
from the house was 11. B. 61, pro
viding for increase in salaries of cer
tain Jackson county officials.
Although introduced by one of lais
colleagues in the house. Senator
Thomas of Jackson, was opposed to
the bill. Louis Lachmund, the other
one of the "bitulithic twins" as they
are Known to tneir reuow law-mak
era, immediately urged the passage
of the bill as a tribute to Senator
Thomas, and the latter was compelled
to listen to the mock. tribute in b1
lence because he dared not say he
opposed the bill, nor did he want to
favor its passage.
President Vinton saved him from
an embarrassing situation by ruling

showed he could hold his own with
the youngsters by reciting a ffinny
poem and concluding with a clever
little talk about the legislators. Sen
ator Gill favored the tired lawmakers
with a pretty little ballad of yester
year, while Mrs. Alexander Thomp

with a dramatic rendition of Riley's.
"An Old Sweetheart of Mine."

There's an old say
ing: "Money makes
the mare go."
I say: "Credit makes
the clothes go !"
YOUR credit is just as good
with me as that of the presi
dent of one of the national
banks.
You pay me no more for
your clothes than the banker
would pay; neither of you
would pay one cent less if you
planked down the cash!
Drop in; good tailoring here.

A Chilly Aftermath
"You're the second slck-a-bed Yv
seen today." exclaimed Anne H she
breeaed into Irene Tollinger's room.
"I just came from Mary Barnes and
she has the grippe."
Irene sniffed. "Isn't this a terrible
way to end a wonderful dance. When
Bob found the gasoline tank was
empty and we were stalled ten miles
from home, I thought It was a joHe at
first. But will you ever forget how
cold we were after that hour and a
half wait?"
Never." Anne said with a shiver.
"And I don't see how Bob and Charlie
ever walked two miles and back for
gasoline. I would have frozerx on the
way. I know. As It is they have the
grippe.
"Anne Wheaton!" Irene exclaimed:
"Tou are the only one who didn't get
sick. You certainly are lucky."
"Not lucky. Just sensible." Anne
said teasingly. "Whenever any one in
cur family feels they are going to
catch cold they start rljrht in taking
Weeks" Break-TJp-A-Cold Tablets.
That Is what I did aa soon as I
reached home."
"Why didn't yon tell ns? Where In
the world do yon get them?" Irene asked.
"Until today I thought everybody
knew about them. You can get them
at any druggist's for twenty-five
cents," Anne explained. "But vou
should always insist on getting
Weeks', though, because they con
tain no calomel, which really should be
taken very carefully."
"Well, after this T certainlv will
have a box around." Irene said with a
sigh as she realized that her aching,
stuffy head could hav beta craveatad
by a UtUfj cart. .
