le7ds of State Engineer Lewis say

Reasons For Objection Given.
Too Governor's private secretary In
her petition offers the following Ma
son, for wanting titles changed: "The
said Attorney-General has In and by
Mid decision provided as a distinctive
ly short title and not exceeding 10
words, by which the measure s com
monly referred to and spoken of by the
public or pres.. as provided by copter
S of the general laws of Oregon of
11J. Shall In such cases bo done, the
following 're-organizing certain state
offices. . .
-nd your petitioner shows that saia
pretended distinctively short title, as
provided in and by said decision of said
Attorney-General, does not express the
way In which said measure is common
lv or at all referred to or spoken or
by the public or press, but that said
measure is commonly referred to and
spoken of by the public or press, as a
measure, 'abolishing the Desert Land
Brrhat the general title, distinct from
the legislative title of said measure,
as provided by said Attorney-General,
beginning with the words: Its pur
pose" and ending with the words.
Lord s Oregon Laws as set out above,
does not give a true and impartial
statement of the said measure, that the
said language used in general title In
tentionally constitutes an argument
and is likely to create prejudice against
said measure, and said general title Is
Insufficient and unfair more particul
arly as follows:
Salary Iacreas Disliked.
-The language used in said general
title. Increasing salary of office for
said period $1200 yearly. is an untrue
statement of the purpose and result of
said measure."
-The further language used In saia
title. 'Merging State and Desert Land
boards.' is a misleading and unfair
statement of the purpose and result of
said measure which is to abolish the
Desert Land Board and devolve Its du
ties upon the State Land Board.
The further language of said gen
eral title, 'creating office of water
commissioner.' is an unfair and mis
leading statement of the purpose and
result of said measure, in that it is
calculated to give the Impression that
a new office Is created by said mea
sue. when in truth and in fact, a single
office of State Water Commissioner la
to be substituted for the two existing
offices of superintendents of water divisions."

today set September 2 and 3 as the
dates for the next meeting of the as

The highway connecting Lewis and
Pacific counties has Just been placed in
rii-et-riaBu shaDe. a 600-yard stretch
at Pluvius having been planked, and the
fact that autos can go. Clear inruusu
to Raymond will likely swell the at

Lewis County vice-president of the as
sociation, probably will Increase the
interest of the clubs In this vicinity In
the Raymond session. Both Mr. Daub

this city, it Is probable that the Cen
tralla Auto Club will use .one of Its
tours planned for this season as a
booster trip" on behalf of the devel

mouth. Or.. July 18. (Special.) Seventy-eight
1914 graduates of the stand

secured positions In the public schools
of Oregon, as superintendents, public

Thirty-three students were granted
diplomas at the mid-year commence
ment exercises and 76 graduated In
June, making a total of 109, the largest
class ever sent out by the Normal

The demand for well-trained teach
ers is shown to be the strongest In
many years and a continuous Influx
of calls has arrived at the administra
tion office of the Normal School.
President J. H. Ackerman said: This
Increased demand may be owed to the
fact that the Normal School is making
distinct provisions for rural schools by
putting a trained Instructor at the head
of that department, and having this
teacher In the field a greater part of
the time. It Is now planned to give
special emphasis to this department.

PROGRESSIVES SEE HOPE
Wte Said to Favor Plank of Demo
crats Putting Prohibition Off Two
Tears Pledge of Republicans
May Bo Disregarded.
BOISE, Idaho, July 18. (Special.)
Party lines In this state will be largely
obliterated In the political fight now
opening because of the wet and dry
or prohibition Issue. This Is fore
casted by political leaders and Is gen
erally becoming recognized by voters.
The prohibitionists are preparing
their master stroke to place Idaho in
the dry column by legislative enact
ment, followed by constitutional
amendment. In arranging for the
campaign they have been successful in
obtaining Incorporation of prohibition
planks in the Republican. Democratic
and Progressive party platforms. The
conflict before them is to elect men to
the Legislature whe will carry out the
party pledges. .
The platforms of the three parties
have brought a.bout this situation. The
Republican platform pledges the party
candidates to adopt for submission to
the electors of the state as a whole
two years hence, an amendment to the
constitution forever forbidding the sale
of Intoxicating liquors in Idaho, pro
vided, the party has a two-thirds ma
jority in the Legislature; If not. the
party is pledged to enact a prohibition
law to go Into effect after the Legis
lature adjourns and which requires
but a majority vote In both houses of
the Legislature.
Dry. Oppose Democratic Plank.
The Democratic platform pledges the
candidates to the Legislature to enact
.I nnFiiiihiMonal amendment. The
platform Is silent on the enactment of
a statutory proniDition n. v
The Progressive party is pledged,
first, to have its candidates vote for
and pass a statewide prohibition law,
mto effect after the Legislature
adjourns and to pass the same session
......i i K ) v, i f-i n n Amend-'
a consuiuuiviia j,i
ment to be submitted to the electors
for their ratification two years hence.
The drys do not look kindly on the
Democratic constitutional prohibition
ianir for It Dostpones action on the
liquor question two years. The wets
favor this piann, ior u i""
years In which to prepare 10 oeitm
the constitutional imenomtm.
The Progressives hope to profit by
a split in the wet vote, of which they
expect none. They will make a strong
tn iha drva for support of their
candidates who are pledged by their
platform to give tne state promDinun
Immediately, arirf promptly follow that
by the passage of a constitutional
amendment.
Dry Counties Number S3.
The fact that 23 counties In the state
are now dry gives some indication of
the strength of the anti-saloon forces.
In addition, they hope to gain votes
from the ultra-drys, who do not favor
local option, but believe that by mak
ing the state dry the biennial agita
tion over the saloon issue can be done
away with. By centering their
strength behind legislative nominees,
who can be counted on to enact pro
hibition legislation, the drys are con
fident that, with the practical elimi
nation of party lines, they can win.
Many of the strongest Republican
papers In the state have declared
openly that Republicans are not bound
by the prohibition plank In the plat
form because they disfranchise wet
Republicans. Oil the other hand, many
of the leading Democratic newspapers
are as openly bidding for the votes of
both wets and drys for the Democratic
legislative candidates, claiming the
Democratic platform does not bind
them to enact a prohibition law, but
puts the issue off two years, through
the constitutional amendment which.
submitted to the electors of the state
as a whole. Is the only fair way to
settle the prohibition question.
Mrs. Jfancy Caples Dies.
ST. JOHNS. Or.. July 18. (Special.)
