BIG JOB FOR THE VOTERS
THE "CHRISTMAS SHIP' HAS MANY NEWSPAPER SPONSORS
Xa Bon Districts Ballots Mart
Harked TUty Times to ToU
tlw Fall Ticket.
New TftrV, Sept. 26. Next Tuesdai
the voters of New York will go to th
polls to make their party nomination
for the candidates to be voted for 'at
tbe November election. Nomination
will be made for United States sen
ator, representatives In congress, state
officers. Judge of the courr of appeals
and members of both branches of the
legislature.
Most interest naturally centers In
the contests for the senatorial and
gubernatorial nominations. Repub
licans and Democrats will have three
names earn on the ballot for the Unit
ed -Btutci kcnatorshlp to succeed Klihu
Root, who declined tti became a can
didate for renomlnation. The Demo
cratic candidates are Franklin D
Roosevelt, James S. McDonough and
James W. Gerard, the present ambas
sador at Berlin. The three Repub
licans are David Jayne Hill, James
W. Wadsworth Jr., and William M.
Calder. Balnbridge Colby of New York
city will be unopposed for the Pro
gressive nomination for senator.
There are seven candidates of the
different parties for the nomination
for governor.- The fight among the
Democrats Is between Governor Glynn
and John A. Hennessey. The three Re
publican candidates are District At
torney Charles S. Whitman, Job E.
Hedges and Harvey C Hinman. Fred
erick M. Davenport of Oneida, a former
tale senator, seeks the Progressive
nomination. Mr. DaVenport was one
candidate for lieutenant governor. Op
posed to him for the Progressive nom
ination for governor Is former Gov
ernor William Sulzer. So far the Pro
gressive leaders seem to have been
unable to estimate to their own satis
faction Just what proportion of their
vote can be corralled by Mr. Sulzer,
who is a candidate on his own invi
tation. Hew Primary Law in Effect.
Picking candidates In the primaries
will not be the easy job this year it
has been in others. There never was
a time in the history of this state
when an 'enrolled voter could not go
Into the voting booth on primary day,
and by merely folding a ballot and
handing It back to the election official
couia perrorm uii the duty he .waa
called upon to perform in a primary
election.
This year it will be different. With
the new direct primary law in effect.
every voter when he enters the poll
Ing place Tuesday will be called upon
to exercise both his mental and
physical fucultk's to a greater extent
man m any previous primary Of: gen
ersl election In this state.
The new ballot Is a modified form
Of the Massachusetts ballot, necessi
tating the marking of one X mark in
the voting fpace which appears in
front of every candidate for whom he
desires to vote. This will require the
enrolled voter to mark his ballot in
leant 35 different places, and in some
Instances he may be called upon to
mark It 60 times, provided he deBires
to vote for the candidates for the
county committee from his election
district. As organization control will
depend entirely on the ability of f
loader to control the county commit
tee. it Is likely that good organization
men who In other years have done
their full duty by "voting the straight
ticket." will be held to the necessity
of picking out laboriously from a list
of from 25 to twice that number of
candidates for county committee places
the candidates wanted' by the organi
sation leaders.
To Discourage "Straight Voting."
with the election of members on
PVty committees and the nomination
of party candidates for offices, there
are districts where the enrolled voter
may be required to mark tils ballot. in
f as many as 50 places in order to vote
the full ticket. Nor will the primary
ballot In use for the first time this
year have the party emblem, familia
from of old, to guide the loyal or
ganlzatlon man in pitiklng out th
candidates bearing the organization
sign in the form of emblem placed at
the top of the party column.
The present primary ballot was de
signed frankly for the purpose of dia
couraging "straight ticket" voting and
to compel the enrolled voter to prac
lice discrimination in the picking of
his candidates for nominations or par
. ty positions. That incidentally tho
ballot should become a baffling puzzle
to the illiterate voter did not deter the
enthusiasts for election reform from
pressing their plea for the elimination
from the primary ballot; of the party
emblem, which they contend should
not be used as a means of giving ad
vantage to one candidate over another
In a family quarrel. They did not win
. their point without opposition from
.; the machine element of both the older
parties in the legislature, and it was
. only after the law had been enacted
that the discovery was made that it
; provided for numbers in the space be
side the name of each candidate where
a party emblem will appear on the
. general ballot.

of the newspaper's bands. j
"The Happy Tribers." a Juvenile or
organisation 5000 strong centering in
Ds Moines, with James Whltcomb
Riley for high chief, has taken over
the entire Christmas ship manage
ment for its locality from the Des
Moines Capital, which first gave the
story publicity.
The vision stage of the Inspiration
has passed, as a glance at the vari
ous newspapers will show. Their
daily "Christmas ship" columns are
records of things being done. . No
restriction was made concerning how
any newspaper should handle1 the
scheme. The result 1s that many
newspapers are giving their patrons
libera educations on the burdens
borne by little children and women in
Kuropo, consequent upon calling men
away to war. Cartoons, brief his
tories, photographs and statistics ac
company the daily story of the pro
gress of the Christmas ship, and tel
egraphic news from national and in
ternational sources telling what :. the
rest of the world thinks about itthe
great idea." j
In addition to the newspapers the
Idea has been taken up by many or
ganizations, by Chambers of Com
merce, by ministers, by schools and
by societies of boys and girls.

Washington, Sept. 26. Complete
isolation of the constitutionalist army
of 18,004 under General Jesus Car
ranza, in the isthmus of Tehuantepec,
rendering it useless in a defensive
campaign against Villa, has been ac

taux, former minister of foreign af
fair and Louis Mill, members of th
natlonal relief committee, at the re
quest of the government, have cen

ClipnJngs from a few of the many leading newspapers that, with, The
Oregon Journal, are cooperating with the Chicago Herald in its
plan to send a Christmas ship to Europe laden with gifts from
the boys and girls of "America to the boys and girls of the war
zone; Vincent Jones, 10 years old, of 420 Montgomery street,
Spokane, who came to Journal office with arms full of toys for
Christmas ship. i
All over the world newspapers are
commenting on the Christmas ship
idea proposed by The Journal, the Chi
cago Herald and other national news
papers. Here is a comment from the
Daily Telegraph, published in Lon
don: "Americans pride themselves on
being the -most businesslike people in
the world, but they are also the most
sentimental,, and we doubt if such an
idea could have occurred elsewhere,
or, if it Jiad, that it would have been
taken up with such characteristic en
ergy. The thought was golden,
springing from a kindly heart and
taken up by kindly people. Who can
doubt that it will achieve the desired
result, not only by bringing happl
ness to those who are tooyouner.- Der
haps, to be sensible of thir loss, but
atso Dy reminding the warring na
tions of the opening words of the
first Christmas message."
The idea is to load a ships .with
gifts toys and such comfortable
things as mittens, stockings, dresses.
clothes and send it sailing over the
ocean to the boys and girls of Europe
an countries whoso fathers have been
killed in the war.
The idea spread, from city to city.
from newspaper to newspaper, iThe
newspapers are not only recommend
ing the idea editorially, but are
throwing open their local columns to
