'" k By John E. Lathrop. Washington, Dec. lO.Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Spence of Canby, Oregon, passing through Washington en route home, re ' lated a story of the conflict at Atlantic City between the progressive and reac tionary forces of the National Grange. Mr. and Mra .Spence represented Ore . Ron. - ' An attempt was made to Induce the popular government laws. ,- This at tempt failed. The vote was 29 noes to 15, ayes; representatives - were ex cused from voting and 2 were absent, bo that one-third the , representation stood for the Oregon system of popular ' government . , ' "However." Mr. SDence said. " "a number of representatives 'failed to carry oat the Instructions given' them by their state granges, so that, had the members of the grange In these states been represented properly- at Atlantic City, the Oregon system would eitner have been endorsed, or the proposition would have been lost by only 2 or 3 votes. To our surprise, California voted against vs. as also did Kansas and Iowa; West Virginia and South Da kota split their votes. The states that voted with Oregon were Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Washington and Fenn- sylvania, Hopes to Win Next Teas. "During the next year there Is bound to be a lot of agitation in the dif- ferent state granges whose represents ( lives aia noi carry out. me iuuus wmcu they were expected to represent at At lantic City. It is the same sort of .a - fight which we have on in legislative bodies a conflict between the people and those who So not represent them, l Although we lost this year because ; v these delegates were not representative of the rank and rue or the grange, we have the Issue squarely before the or ganisation, and I believe we will win easily next year. 1 Women Tote on Orange Affairs. , It Is Interesting to note that the grange rives women the right of suf-: frage, Mr. Spence is the master of the ! Oregon state grange. Tinder the laws'' of the grange the wife of .the master ! of the state grange sits with him in the ' national grange. If the wife be at the j head - of the state giange, then her , husband is entitled to sit in the national 1 grange, as in the case of Minnesota, The ; result is that the womon of the dif-' ferent organizations of the grange study public questions and Inform themselves j of what is going on in the country. j The foregoing interview with Mr. 1 Spence was quite as much an interview I with Mrs. Sponce, who contributed her I share toward the dlscusslpa ' Both are confident that the Oregon system of j popular government Jaws will - be car-j rled by the national grange at the next j meeting at Columbus. Ohio. .. Spokane, Washington, made a fight for the next meeting and waa assisted i by the western states. -; However, hav- ing lost, Spokane came forward with ! an invitation for the meeting two years ! hence. It waa the Impression among M , 1 n Y. .... ... .w. , w. ilnlomttu that a principal reason why Spokane was defeated was because the conscr i vatlve delegates did 'not desire to go to j TACOMA liquor RGHT NO-TREAT LAV ' (Oultfd Vrtm eued Wire.

Tacoma saloon men are greatly wrought, up because of the passage of the measure and already petitions are being , circulated with a view to. using the referendum on the new law. - ; v -;.- -.-.. -,--- -Liquor dealers assert that 75 per cent of the saloons will be put out of busi ness if the law Is made operative.'
