The party issues of the past are dead and I am unable to say with very great personal conviction what the new issues will be. I have the feeling, though, that social Issues will loom larger in the future than in the past, and I think I can sea Indications that public opinion is dividing- more and more on radical and conservative perhaps I should better fay liberal and conservative lines. There can be little doubt, at least, that Bocial questions are receiving consid erably more attention just now than economic ones." S. C. Killen. Hillsboro independent C "Wood. Local opinion is not general nough to warrant a guess. Says Mr. Killen: " I believe General Wood will be ra ' JTred' n0t because f his treatment by . the administration during the war but because it directed attention to his ad ministrative ability and fitness for dealing with the ante-war problems, fatreng-th is given his candidacy be cause he -is allied with no faction and is perhaps the one man upon whom all teliades of opinion can unite. Issues of the campaign may depend upon events or the next few months, but at present Jt appears that the democratic party wfll be arraigned for failure to meas ure up to the war emergency and help lessness shown when confronted by the necessity of formulatins a reconstruc ,3on policy."

Says Mr. faar.derson: -General Wood Is. first of all, an American who has been through the lire and whose head would not be -urned by the patronage of royalty He In a practical man, not a theorist, and while firm in his convictions, can be "r-f,-,, en wro"- to see his mistake." William Matthews. Taquina Bay Xew Wood. Local sentiment the eame. Says Mr. Matthews: "I am firmly convinced that Major General Leonard A. Wood is. without any exception whatever, the strongest ablest and best qualified man before the country today for the candidacy for president. He is a loyal and consistent republican and his perfect familiarity with the economic, political and mili tary affairs of the country make his nomination and election particularly desirade at this critical period of the nation's history." A. Whisnant, Bend Press, has only ere candidate. Wood, whom he con siders the best presidential timber, with the exception of Taft. Says Mr Wbis nar.t: "The attempt made by Senator Poin axter to convince the American people through the medium of the country press, in sendlnsr them prepared plate matter telling of hia wonderful quali fications for president, are tiresome. If Mr. Poindexter wishes to be president be should at least show the evidences ci a mina progressive enough to indi cate that It is keeping step with the progress of the day. There arc a great many of the men in putlic life today who seem to b.-; imbued with the tra ditions of the past to the extent that they are unable to see that the old or der has passed Senator Poindexter is one. Colonel Wood is the best presi dential timber in the political forest of the republican party today with the exception of one man who has already led his party to victory and then to oVefeat. A league of nations is a long Ftep from the narrow view of national individualism and supremacy, and men line Taft and Wilson are leaders in the thought. The American people have f:uth in these men. and they also have faith in the man who was the friend f the greatest of them all, Theodore Kooseveit- The day of the insular, the box car politician, the man without vision. Is passed." A. D. Moe. Hood River Glacier Wood. Taft. Loia.l sentiment believed 1 iie same. Mr. Moe points out that Ur.neral Wood foresaw America in the war, tut -when war came lie was rele gated and the American public believes in fair play. t?ays Mr. Moe: The policies ff Judge Taft have al ways been fairly well supported by the nuik and file of the American people, lie grew unpopular as president as a result of attacks, both in and out of his party, and through his failure to rfply to critics. He seemed not to rotlize the value of failure of publicity. His was an administration without any press-agentinsr. Put he has won back a. high place in the hearts of Ameri cans by his conduct during and fol loxlns the war. "As to a third choice. It Is difficult to pick -a man. Harding, Watson, The odore Roosevelt. Jr., or who shall it be? All of thjm. while high in public life, (ro comparatively strangers to the American people. Young Roosevelt is toest known because of his father. To predict with any accuracy cam fainn issues Is a present impossibility. temocratic extravagance and procras tination must be attacked, but most of ttic great rational issues hive ceased to become, strictly speaking, party ls enes. The fighting points of the 1210 campaign are yet to be developed." E. E. Brodie. Oregon City Morning Enterprise, indicates no choice, but fjurr 8 up his observations as follows: "Thre is no considerable sentiment fn this community for any particular candidate for president on the repub lican ticket.

XI Delta was installed on the Oregon Agricul tural college campus recently, when 26 members of the local sorority, Dt,:a PsI, were initiated. Alpha Xi Delta, founded in 1893 at Lombard college. Galesburg, I1L, now has 28 active chapters. Alpha Delta is the third chapter in the western states and the first to enter an agricultural college. Delta Psi was organized as a club In November, 1917, and automatically became a local sorority the following fall. Miss Ellen Ball, national treasurer and member of the grand council, was chief installing officer. She was assisted by Gertrude LaGrave, Dorothy Beard. Sarah Harris and Bonnie Bell of the University of Washington; Margerie Templeton, Genevieve Bolton, Charlotte H. Wig-ht of the Oregon Agricultural college. Those initiated into Alpha XI Delta include Josephine Hammond, Lizzie Dyson, Laura Ziegler, Thayer Raymond, Hazel Garber, Una Darby, Nellie Porter, Genevieve Moore, Verna Keppinger.

Frances Krietis, Marguerite MicheL The pledges of the organization are Margaret Dyskow, Sarah Rowland, Isabel Ferguson and Irene Fourier. no candidate, but believe the republi cans shqi'ld nominate a man of a pro gressive type, not a military hero, but a republican who has shown signs of statesmanship of a constructive char acter and who possesses administrative ability. I do not take kindly to the Johnsons, Poindextere nor Borahs who are ready to bolt the republican ranks at will, but are republicans for the sole reason of obtaining office. The next president should be a man who has a vision beyond the territorial limits of our own country, but who will not sub ordinate the interests of the United States to those of any other country." E. H Flagg. Warrenton News Roosevelt, Jr.; Wood. Says Mr. Flagg: "A patriot, Roosevelt would give us , the strong medicine we need. He hasi every good quality possessed by his father without the temperamental ex cess that marred the usefulness of that great American. He has shown that he is not a self-seeker, but there are legions of young men who would fol low his leadership, and I believe he would be invincible, especially if his running mate was Hiram Johnson of California. Leonard Wood would make an excellent president, but. in my hum ble opinion, not as strong a candidate." M. D. Morgan. Harrisburg Bulletin, says his third and last choice is Cum mins, and states as follows: "In the' maze of questions before brainy men no one has yet sounded the kevnote that the mass of republicans are wanting to hear. There is no first choice. However, there is yet time. The country was never so anxious to get next to the issues, nor so confident that the republican party will produce the right principles and the right man. In the campaign to come the interest of the voter will rival that of the Harrison-Cleveland campaign. It is only a matter of republican leaders to unite to win." C. C. Chapman. Oregon Voter Persh ing, Lowden, Wood. Local sentiment. Wood. Says Mr. Chapman: "Pershing demonstrated unlimited confidence in what American soldiers could do in Europe and pushed them into action with rapidity and capacity. He insisted on their fighting as Amer ican units instead of all being brigaded with English and French troops. He also demonstrated statesmanship, tact.

He had been engaged in the mercantile business in Dayton for 28 years, and assisted in the establishment and organization of the bank in that city. Mr. Nichols was well known in lodge circles, being a member of the Masonic lodge, the Woodmen of the World, and the Oddfellows.

He co-operated without bickering, yet was firm. Returning soldiers are not enthusiastic over him, which weakens his availabil ity at this time, but I predict they will rally to him enthusiastically as their leader if his name is presented to the convention" George Huntington Currey, Malheur Enterprise Borah, Poindexter, Wood. Local sentiment believed to be for Borah, Wood. Mr. Currey says: ""The deciding issue will be. Which party do the people think will best serve the public interest? The republic ans will have more to prove than the faults of the democratic party. The people will look for a constructive platform and a leader whose record backs up that platform. The republic ans' can win with a strong candidate if they don't 'advertise' the opposition too much. We need a little internal analysis before we diagnose the ills of the opposition.' The big issues of the campaign will not be over what has been done, but what is to be done; such as the labor problem, roads, reclama tion, taxes, enforcement of prohibition and perhaps immigration and educa tion." News, Burns. Or. Root. Harding. Wood. Local sentiment. Wood, Hard ing, Root. Says the News: "A more liberal policy regarding con servation of resources in the west, so that birth may be given and full growth attained for the many gigantic industries the west is capable of bring ing forth. Equitable, broai and liberal protective tariff policy. Adequate vo cational training and pensioning of de serving soldiers. Compulsory universal training, because it teaches discipline and confidence as well as self-respect. Improvement of highways, proper rec ognition of fill deep-sea harbors and the encouragement or subsidizing of an adequate American merchant marine." E. D. Canady, The Advocate John son, Wood, Hughes. Mr. Canady, whose paper is published in Portland, says he believes local sentiment is for Wood, Lowden and' Johnson, and appends these reasons: "It I3 our candid opinion that Hiram Johnson, United States senator from California, is the one man who can ce ment the friendship of the progressive wing of the party with that of the standpats or regular republicans, and with him as a candidate for president there will be no doubt of the success of the republican party at the next election. The issue in our opinion will be the peace treaty. However, there will be a number of other questions such as the prohibition question and govern ment ownership, but the paramount is ue will be the peace treaty and the league of nations. M. C. Maloney, Coos Bay Times Johnson, Lowden, Cummins. Local sen timent has not crystallized, but may be for Johnson. Mr. Maloney continues "Hiram Johnson is a representative citizen of the west- He 1 nig, broad, progressive and stands for the highest and finest ideals of American citizen ship. He has proved his executive ca pacity in the splendid service rendered the people of California and his states manship by taking a place among the leaders of the Lnited States senate. His nomination would unite the discordant elements in the republican party as no other man in American public life." An editor who declines to be quoted gives his first choice as Root and his second choice as Taft. Another eavs that 54 leading republicans in his terri tory show 38 for Taft first choice; 13 for Pershing and three for Knox. An other gives his choices as Hughes Cummins and Johnson, and comments ''I do not think any candidate can be elected who is opposed to a league of nations or who is not in favor of na tional prohibition." Taft is the first and only choice of an editor, requesting that he be not quoted, and bis reason for the choice follows: "It may be well said that Taft has first place as candidate favoring- the leag-ue of nations. If nominated Mr. Taft will be elected. Borah and Young are about on a level as candidates of the anti-leaguers. We believe firmly that no one can be elected who opposes the league. No military 'genius' of the late war will be elected if nominated the eentirant of returned soldiers, will take care of that. From a Willamette -valley editor, who does not icish to be identified, comes a choice of Hughes and then Taft, with the explanation that he believes local sentiment is divided between Pershing and Hughes for first place, with John son probably second, but doubtful. Says this writer: "While my personal preference is as stated above there are many in this vicinity who favor Pershing and Leon ard Wood. While Hughes may possi bly "be classed as a 'has-been' there is no doubt be would make the most ef ficient executive for the country re gardless of the opposition to him, could he be elected. While the league of na tions is tby no means perfect, I believe it better to not inject it too deeply in the issues of the campaign. Duties ever will be an important matter, and the proper regulation of public utilities and the cleaning out of the wasteful ex travagance of the present, as well as the past administrations, will meet the popular wish of the people." wood. Johnson ana jucuormicK are the three choices of another Willamette valley editor, who believes local senti ment runs to Wood, .Hughes ana xait, and he explains: Matters connected witn the peace treaty will have been disposed of by next year's campaign. The matter of a strong foreign policy will, however, be prominent and to a certain extent win offset certain domestic problems, as prohibition, the regulations of Imports and immigrants. Unless strong regu lations of railroads are achieved by law, this will also be an issue. I have determined my choice, however, more by a feeling- that the gentlemen named can be trusted to reflect my senti ments than on any balancing of their known preferences and opinions on the questions at Iseue."
