LOVEJOY IS
Comrades In War Service Praying
For Election of Portland Wo
man to Cbngfess From Oregon.
The campaign for Esther Pohl
Lovejoy Is of a unique character.
She is the first congressional can
didate who has ever been formally
indorsed by a big city ministerial as
sociation and whose election haa
been made the subject of sermons
from pulpits of conservative min
isters or who has been prayed for
in pulpit and prayer meetings.
She is the first woman of interna
tional reputation ever nominated for a
federal office. Daily prayers for her
election are being made in the war
stricken regions of Europe by her com
rades in war service and by mothers
to whoss hungry children she came as
an "angel of mercy," to use their own
words.
APFXAX8 ABB EARNEST
From these art coming pitiful appeals
that we elect their friend.
It was only the incident of sex which
kept her tit of the trenches while her
opponent, younger than she, served his
country "at a desk."
Telegrams and letters are being re
ceived from the heads of large organisa
tions, including the National Anti-Saloon
league, the National W. C. T, U., the
Methodist Board of Temperance, the
Presbyterian Board of Temperance, the
International Reform bureau and the
National Prohibition committee, urging
that Dr. Lovejoy be elected.

-"Esther Pohl Lovejojcjs doing pioneer
political work for the women voters of
America," says Mrs. C B. Simmons,
prominent clubwoman, active social
worker and ardent Republican.

Clarkson, widow of the late Major Clark,

"The women and all progressive vot

BROWWSVLLLE ELECTION
Brownsville, Or.. Oct. 80r The cam
paign in this city has been quiet. Not
a single stump speech has been deliv
ered, yet election day promises to be
lively, for the question of laying the first
paving In Brownsville will be an issue.
The present mayor and council, against
much opposition, let a contract for pav
ing several blocks, but after the con
tractor was on the ground a flaw was
discovered In the long-drawn-out prelim
inary proceedings and the work was en
joined br the court. Mayor White is
seeking reelection together with a ooun
cil that Will back him up In street im
provement, and an opposition ticket is
out, endeavoring to defeat him. The
opposition desires paving, but opposes
the present method.

severe penalties for any violations, either by commission or omission
of his dictations.
"It is quite possible and more probable that the aforesaid Director
would know little br nothing as regards handling, storage or market
