GOLDEN SPECIAL PROTEST REGISTERED AGAINST TACTICS OF GOLDEN SPECIAL PLAN Use of Names of Non-Parti-san Organizations Arouses Ire of Sister Members. Action of certain Portland women In taking part in the welcoming of the members of the "Golden Special" and allowing their connection with va rious non-partisan organizations to be used has aroused Indignation among their sister members. The Journal telephone has been busy all morning while members of the vay rious organizations mentioned as tak ing part Jn the reception to the Hughes' campaigners vented their wrath on such misapprehension. "The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-partisan organiza tion and we would least of all be con cerned with a delegation touring the country on a political mission." de clared one prominent member of tiiat organization. Mrs. J. B. Montgomery 1 has been mentioned as the representa tive of the Daughters of the American Revolution on the reception eommltee. "I took part In the reception as an Individual and not as a delegate of the Parent-Teacher council," declares'Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, president of that organization. Every organization mentioned In the list of those furnishing members to the regular 'committee is a non-partisan organization, and members resent their being dragged into politics. The list which aroused the comment was aa follows: Mrs.iSolomon Hirsch. chairman; Mrs. Alva Iee Stephens, president of the Portland Parent-Teacher council: Mrs Ben Selling of the Council of Jewish Women; Migs Viola Ortschild, presi dent of the Portland Grade Teachers' association; Miss Ida Loewenberg, who has charge of the wbrk of the Neighborhood house in South Port land; Misa Emma Butler of the Juve nile court, chief probation officer for girls; Mrs. Frederick Eggert. promi nent club womah ; Miss Llna B.

She concluded with an appeal for a great conception of citizenship and a realization of the Ideal of democracy in the choice of Charles Evans Hughes as president of the United States. Applause at the end was perfunc tory. Mrs. Robins was Introduced to the workers by I. N. Flelschner and spoke In the workroom on the second floor, in a room piled high with half finished garments. She was taken to the factory by Mrs. feanford Hlrach. A large number of men lined the curb across the street from the fac tory when the visiting party came out. Campaign literature was distributed among them. There were one or two satirical shouts, "WThat is the matter with the Republican party."

Educational Authority Criti cizes Lack of Independence of Wilson's Daughters. With less than 100 people for her listeners, Mrs. Rheta Chllde Dorr of the Golden Special, authority on edu cation, this morning spoke at the Lin coln high school. The president's treatment of the "ladies aid society" of the human race, as she referred to the American women, was not satis factory at all, according to the speak er, and the "sectionalism" of Wilson came in for a rebuke as against the "nationalism," espoused by Charles E. Hughes. j Of the 90 people who were present,! only a doubtful half gave any ap-j plause. The "frightful and appalling; Illiteracy" of the -southern states was due to President Wilson's failure to put a secretary of education In his cabinet, the speaker said. Wilson's method of bringing up his family, as compared to that of Mr. Hughes', also came In for criticism. It was emphasized that Mr. Hughen' daughters were self-supporting and in dependent. Kughas' Secord Reviewed. A review of Hughes' record as gov ernor of New York was made, in which mention was made of his veto of the teachers' equal-pay bill, which the speaker attempted to reconcile with his woman suffrage plank. -ae poor state laws of the south which permitted so much cruelty and Injustice to women without the ballot, would be speedly remedied through the election of the champion of their cause, said Mrs. Dorr. Equal suffrage by state action Is Impossible of accomplishment, it was claimed, because of the delaying and complicated processes of making state amendments. ZTation&Usm Is zavoked. The passage of the Child Labor law was merely a bid for votes, it was asserted. Voting for Hughes In Oregon would help women to the ballot throughout the United States, it was alec claimed. With the promise that- the election of Hoghes would insure & cessation of a policy that has "flouted" the workers for equal suffrage in their efforts, and that "nationalism" would remedy existing political evils, the speaker concluded her remarks.
