OREGON. i t ASSERTS WAR RECORD ALONE SHOULD CAUSE WILSON'S REELECTION Governor Lister of Washing ton Banquet Speaker at Portland Hotel Last Night, ASSERTIONS APPLAUDED tpMkir at Woodrow Wilson Xieaffue ConTntlon Featur Says KufhM Ha Offered Wo Solution Tet. "'If he had rfone nothing else, the fact that he has kept this country out of a war In which over half tho civil ized population of the world Is en (Mged entitles FrerldTit WilHon to ro electlon," declared Governor Ernest Lister of Washington, speaking at the Woodrow Wilson cnuo banquet at the Portland hotel U-Ht night. Tills statement was greeted with such a volume of applause nJ shouts of acclaim that Governor LMSter was unable to proceed Tor a couple of min utes. Similar applause greeted his de mand to Kno, what tho opponents of the administration would have done If faced with problems such as the president wa3 required to handle. Pays Respects to Mr. Hug-lies. "Mr. Hughfs," he raid, "is trying to secure election on the sheer ground of oposinR the other candidate.",. This Is too serious a time to endeavor to se cure election on such a ha-i:i. Hugliew dotsn'U say what he would have done under similar circumstances. This l.i too certors a time in the history of this country to endeavor to secure election on the solo Rroi:nd of c-itl-clsni. It requires i" ability to criti cise, but the man who i":n offer belter suggestions, which Hughes has not dune. Is entitled to credit. "This election is Rolnjj to be de cided by the silent, Independent vot the safety valve of (lie nation and the Democrats have a better clnfm to this support than ever before In the hlstry of the party." Review Constructive Legislation. Here Governor Lister launcher into a review of the constructive legisla tion of the Wilson administration, lauding particularly Ibe currency jaw and the recently enacted rural cred its act. The latter, he said, would be particularly beneficial to the northwest, which m-eds agricultural development mote than anything else. In this connect inn he said that the population of Washington is 7.1 per cent urban nod -6 per cent rural. The re-opening of Alaska was re ferred to by Governor Lister as an other step of greater benefit to the northwest In particular. Refers to Mexican Situation. Referring to the Mexican situation, he said war with that country would tie the smallest part of the problem, for, if the I'nlted States ever went In, It would have to stay urftil the Mexicans were educated to the point Where they could take care of them aelves. Governor Lister declared that pro hibition has been a wonderful succese In Washington and predicted defeat In both Washington arid Oregon of the proposed oeer amendments, Ho wound up by lauding the progressive legislation enacted In both states. Over 300 people were present at the banquet, which was the closing feature of the formation of a state Wide association of Woodrow Wilson leagues. Makes Hit of the Evening-. .Speaking to the subject "Women In Politics." Mrs. Sylvia W. Thompson of The Dalles made the hit of the evening when she said the fact that Miss Anne Morgan is actively supporting Hughes In a non-suffrage state ought to be suf ficient reason for all the self-supporting- women in the suffrage states to support Wilson. "Why is she supporting: Hughes?" demanded Mrs. Thompson. "Because Wilson took control of the banking business of the country away from the sharks of Wall street and out it in the hands of the American people. Be cause her brother made a loan of. $500, 000,000 to Europe to make it possible to carry on the war and is arranging to loan double that amount." Women the Seal Progressives. Mrs. Thompson declared that women are the real progressives in politics, as they decline to place tho party pref erence above efficiency and honor. Other sperJters were E. H. Richard of Grants Pass, who s;oke to the sub ject, "Progressive Democracy," and Samuel White, Democratic state chtiir man. who responded to the toast "Woodrow Wilson" with an address re viewing the achievements of the pres enr administration as reasons for the president's reelection.

Evidence of the intention of some one to attempt to develop the oil and gas field supposed to exist in the vicinity of McCoy and Amity was seen last week when a number of leases on lnd in Polk coun ty were filed with the county clerk.
