Th&r Aeorv was not the one held by FrelilrtT'strategfsts.

Everything Indicated, they said, that the Germans had prepared a line of defenses along their western front to the rear of the ones they already oc cupied, and the prediction was made that they intended to retire back into them.

A statement has Just been issued bv the Central Labor Council of Oregon, through its secretary, E. E. Southard, calling upon the laboring people of the state to defeat Robert A. Booth, Re publican candidate for the United States senate, because he Is opposed to the best interests of the people of the state. Denial is made of the claim circulated abroad that organized labor espouses Mr. Booth's cause. The state ment follows: "To the Laboring Men and Women of Oregon Organized labor believes that Mr. Booth should be defeated. It Is Impossible that Mr. Booth can rep resent the common people of Oregon. His every Interest is opposite to the interest of the common people. "In reiteration of Its stand against Booth's candidacy it calls upon labor and its friends to defeat Mr. Booth for senator. "Further, the Central Labor Coun cil believes that the common people. the laboring men, organized and unor ganized, will Judge fairly the candl dates for this most Important office. "It. therefore, decries the activities of individuals, who are attempting, in the name of labor, to further the Jdootn candidacy. "In Justice to Mr. Booth of any other candidate for office, and In de fense of the good name of organised labor, the Central Labor Council is desirous of having; It publicly known that the votes of labor are not car ried in the 'vest pocket' of any self appointed leader.

Your Property Idle Southern Oregon State Normal School Ashland DO YOU KNOW THAT Oregon is the only state in the Union that ever reduced the number of its normal schools? Only five states in the Union have a smaller equipment for normals than Oregon would were all three of its schools running? Oregon's schools must find over 1000 new teachers each year? Eighty per cent of the applicants for teachers' certificates in Oregon last year had received no training above the eighth grade? The Southern Oregon State Normal was successfully conducted for 14 years until the legislature deadlocked over the regular appro priation? It has a plant ready to open up tomorrow, sufficient to mee.t all requirements for several years? Not one of Southern Oregon's counties has an educational institution to which the state contributes a dollar of support? To the average taxpayer of the state this school will mean less than 2 cents per .year? To the man with property assessed at $4000 it means the price of one cigar a year? This school is to train the trainers of your children? For the sake of our children, vote for the Southern Oregon State Normal School, General Election November 3, 1914. 312 X YES fPald Adv. by Committee of the People of Southern Oregon 3. H.
