The Lady or TODAY marks the end of as heated a campaign for the senatorship of Illinois as has taken place for many a day. Ruth Hanna McConnIck, present member of congress from Illinois, seeks to displace Charles E. Deneen. present senator and former governor. Mrs. McCormick is fired with personal ambition; she aspires to be the first woman elected to the senate. She is making her race as a politician, though she hopes to hold the women in line her sex. Elected to congress two years ago. Mrs. McCormick at once began to lay her plans to win the senatorship. She has spent little time at her congressional duties, and a great deal of time campaigning over the state, seeking political affilia tions which would strengthen culminates today. Mrs. McCormick is the daughter and was long the con fidante of Mark Hanna, industrial magnate who elected Mc- Kinley to the presidency and took the senatorship of Ohio for himself, a strict realist in politics. She is the widow of Medill McCormick. whose early death came, it was believed, from the shock and disappointment of his defeat for renom ination to the senate. Daughter of one politician and widow of another, Mrs. McCormick claims to know all the cards in h the deck and how to deal them. Her playing shows she knows ' the tricks too; and if she wins she will gloat over it as a demonstration of woman s ability to win at what was erst while thought to be a man's game. ' With trumped up issues, and with the characteristic du plicity of the political-minded, has offended those who would naturally look for a woman to exemplify the better things in politics. She is fighting the world court, a minor issue or it may be all settled by the r She equivocates on the prohibition 'question. She makes po litical alliance with the corrupt and vicious William Hale Thompson machine in Chicago. The allegiance attests im plied trading, and would revive as a state power the grip of the Thompson-Crowe Chicago republican machine. Senator Deneen has met the onslaught of this political Amazon with vigor and directness. His record of past hos tility to the Chicago gang is in his favor, and his firm stand for prohibition has earned him support from the friends of that cause. Then he is a veteran in Illinois politics himself, and his political organization, largely built up around him personally, reaches throughout the state. The result will de pend quite largely on how the women vote. If they vote just for their sex without regard to their political principles, then Senator Deneen may be defeated. However, the senator has enlisted a large, and strong body of Illinois women who are championing his cause in all parts of the state. "On to FORTUNATE in its sponsorship and happy in its name, the newly formed "On-to-Oregon" club makes an auspi cious start. Its backers include the following: O. W. Mielke, of Blake, Moffitt & Towne, Portland, one of the hardest workers for encouragement of travel to Ore gon of anyone in Portland. Edward C. Sammons, executive head of the Iron Fire man company, a former banker, and one of the most aggres sive of the younger group of business men of the state. John A. Zentbauer, one of the heads of the Jantzen Knitting mills, a conspicuous industrial success, a man who knows how to use advertising succesfully. Raymond B Wilcox, president of the Portland chamber of commerce. John A. Laing, vice-president of the Pacific Power & Light Co. This group has high standing, has achieved success per sonally, command the respect and the financial support of the citizens of Oregon, and which might compromise the success of an all-Oregon movement. As we take it, this enterprise is not conflicting with the work of the state chamber of commerce. Instead it is sup plementing it, and the work of one will help the other. There is scant danger of over-advertising Oregon. The title selected is a pleasing one. It was the rallying cry of thousands from the great immigration of 1843 on ward. "On to Oregon" that cry echoed and re-echoed through the east started thousands of creaking wagons rolling west ward, wagons loaded with belongings and with families seek . ing to found new homes in a adapted to this new age may stimulate new immigration, an immigration hot merely of men with a plow or their strong hands, but men with capital seeking new and large opportunities.

Cuddy, has accom plished great things for the development of central California. We hope that the ; ly to die.

Nobody astir yet in the sil ent bouse. Had Ken set out for home in one ot his temperamen tal moods? Ere wondered about this, but not with the despair ehe might have felt twenty-four hours earl ier. 8he drew a bath, lay a long time in the warm water, dressed in a leisurely way. It was just .before she was ready to go downstairs that she glanced out the window, saw Ken and Lllas Allan coming up the drive. Their faces were red with cold and they leaned toward eaeb Other, laughing gaily, pausing to catch up the newly-fallen snow Jack It in big, squashy snow-balls, oss these back and forth. They bad been out for an early walk on the ermine-clad hills. Ere turned from the window with her heart like lead; started tor the dining room where break fast was spread in English fash ion on a long buffet and the crowd was wandering about with trays which -they filled and car ried to the. table. Nory sprang np, snatched a tray which he Insisted on tilling for her. First placing this at a little table in the arch ot a bowed win dow, be brougbt bis own tray and they sat there apart from the others In a conspicuous intimacy while Eve's cheeks burned and Nory kept whispering, laughing audacious things, encouraging her self -consciousness. "Fiti's vibrating Uke a terrier's nose, dryad. And Elma's all a-gog. By night they'll be. saying that Ken's demure little wife Isn't ao they'll start planning stunts for the day and I hoper youll manage a nice hot blush when yon say you ve got a date." But haven't a date, Nory." Yes, you have. A standing date from now on. Well get" out of here as soon as you finish that second cup ot coffee. Oh! Wei) . . . where will we go?" Anywhere. Nowhere. Doesn't matter," he said complacently. We're out for effects, child. And you might give me a smile now and then." She smiled. And, meeting his droU twinkle, thought suddenly how much she liked him. So it turned out that the smile was radiant and more convincing than she dreamed to Flfl and Elma and Jan and Lllas who had come la with Ken. Lllas, however, made aa excuse and left her guests almost at onee and Ere saw Ken' wanderins about restlessly. Clerer-ob, bow clever she was! Not to let Ken see too. much ot her leare Mm to boredom for a time, coming back just before be could grow resoatrui. Going about this in a business like fashion , that gave Eve a twinge ot fright when she thought It ever . . . WeU. she wouldn't think It over. Let Nory tell her what to do. Dear Nory. Save her face. Maybe save Ken. Take him out ot The Lane. It would nave to be that now bin choice be tween The Lane and ais wife.: She had daUled long enough; ehe bad a right to this now it it were not already too late.

At noon Ere made a great pan of biscuits, op ened a jar ot honey, broiled ba con. Nory said it was the best meal that ever "he had tasted. Me was so gentle, so delightful In his quiet way that she found herself wishingtho day would lasi a very long time that they need not go back to Hilltop House. But at dusk Nory said they must return. "Dramatic effect dryad. Be just a Uttle defiant but don't forget to blush. And It they ask where we're been be vague." No one asked. Knowing looks greeted them, wise though toler ant smiles. Only Ken seemed ob livious ot their coming. He didn't even know we were not here, Eve whispered. 'Talr enough. What we want is to start gossip. And I'll say that gossip is started." It was plain that Ken Intended to linger after the crowd bad gone. But there was no waiting for Eve tonight She and Nory left first of all and Instead of turning Opportunity homeward he drove away over the hill to Hav erford. They went to a little restaur ant, sat a great while over ham and eggs and coffee. And Ken was waiting when they arrived at the bungalow, moody and disgruntled. "Where the dickene have you two been?", he demanded. "I thought you started early. Been sitting here an age." An instant's hesitation. Then Eve said nervously, "We Just ran aownto Haverford. It's so pretty but with the snow everywhere. "Had bam and eggs down there," Nory explained. "And the roads are slippery." Eve yawned, moved about care lessly, pulling the sUk scarf from her head. Blushes hesitate over explanaUons well. Ken knew she had been out with Nory. He knew this at- last -Nory kept eoachinr Eve as if he were a producer and she a star about to make a first appearance. "Hesitate and explain a lot Nothing like plenty ot explaining to arouse suspicion. Shift, your story, too, but only a Uttle." "Okay fellow conspirator. But how do you know ao much about this?" "Lordy. Eve. haven't you ever a a movie?" "But Ken doesn't mind.

She bad commenced her great career aa a pioneer In the long fight for equal suffrage and equal rights. She bad given up her profitable millinery business In Albany and gone to Portland to start her newspaper, "The New NorthwesV, the first number of which was issued May S, 1871. V That Year she brought the na tional leader, Susan B. Anthony, to Oregon, and accompanied her on a lecturing tour throughout the state. ChurcBes were closed against them then. They were considered ''dangerous agitators." But they secured balls and held meetings Just the same, undaunt ed by many difficulties. They spoke to large crowds at the state fain They formed the Oregon State Equal JSuffrage association that year. a s S At the first anniversary meet ing ot that association they were unable to secure but one man to oecupy the platform with them as a steady coadjutor. That mas. was Col. C. A. Reed of Salem, builder of Reed's opera house; the building that now houses the Mil ler store in this city. Quoting from "Path Breaking," page 69. li "I went to Salem in September, 1872. to visit the legislature, which met annually at that time In the autumn, in a little brick building, across the street from the Chemeketa. now kirown as the Willamette hotel. (Now the Mar lon hotel; the place where the legislature met being the Turner block, diagonally across the street. the corner north ot the present Statesman building, on the sec ond floor.) As no woman prior to you." "With me. Eve?" He regarded her whiteiy; she saw the pain in his eyes, felt a rush of tears to her own. "Oh, orgive me. Nory darling! I didn't mean it that Way- truly, I never did! And you so wonderful not one like you, not ever" "Why, it's all right, little Eve." His slow smile gathering her into understanding. But she thought he seemed weary, lonely and un happy as he turned away. She pointed out to blm that after aU Ken and LUas had an excuse tor the time they spent to gether. "She poses for him and gives him expert advice about his work. He thinks it's expert ad vice, though It's got him into trouble already. He won't do the sketches any more." Don't wory about that Ken may lose a little ground, but it's part of the treatment." And that evening he came to the bungalow to ask Eve's help on a knotty problem in the story ne was aomg. ene saw at once that he was setting up an excuse for their being together. A flimsy excuse. They talked very lata over the story, paying no attention to Ken who read a while, fussed' about his studio and finally went off yawnlngly to bed. If he felt a twinge of jealousy he gave no sign. Eve Indeed thought he seem ed bored. "Why do you do all this for me?" she whispered to Nory. "Bother so much for me?" His eyes were very deen hold ing hers, wrapping her about in warm kindness when he answered "Yonr happiness. Eve. I told you this. Means a lot to me that von should be happy." . . ehe clung to his arm when he said good-night, followed him out to the gate, stood there watching mm piod.away toward home. When Elma or Chuck or Jan mentioned Nory. Eve would blush. It was not aa effort, this blushing. She felt self-conscious, more than uttie frightened, and so she blushed. And others, she knew, read guilt in her embarrassment It was not easy for her to brazen u out ana ana began to lean nor and more upon Nory's gentle kind- unesa. He was always about, al ways tactful; unassuming, always rushing forward with the little loverly attentions which could mean so much and which as she told herself meant nothing real, ly beyond mores in the game they played.
