THOUSANDS OF PHI JOIN IN BIG DEMONS cmting Ml VICTORY The re-election of Woodrow Wllsun was celebrated In a noisy and specta cular manner lust night by several thousand men, women and children. A purade, bonfire, band, flreworka and all kinds of noise-making Instru ments figured in the demonstration over the president's victory. The celebration started at 7:30 with a parade which formed on Court street and marched south on Main to the old Happy Canyon grounds where a huge bonfire had been pre pared with oordwood and barrels of tar. Women and children as well aa men took part in the parade and al most everyone was armed with Ro man candles and sparklers with which they Illuminated the line of march. The band led the way, playing patri otic airs. There were many banners In the parade, all of them Inscribed appropriately. One of them read, "The a. 0. P. Sun Bank In The West." Another read, "The People vs. Wall Street Verdict for Plaintiff," another "A President With Whiskers There Alnt No Such Animal." another, "Tills la The End of a Perfect Day," another "President, Senate. House. We Should Worry" and still another, "An other Thing Thnt Helped The Gold en Special." One banner showed a man wearing a Wilson smile with the Inscription, "A Satisfied Customer Is ths Best Advertisement." Another acclaimed "Four More Years of Wil son and Prosperity." Still others took digs at local republican 'cam paigners. One read, "Chairman Curl Predicts Eetc. The Doctors Have Hopes." One democrat bore aloft a banner reading, "35 Cent Wool. Where Is Senator Purges?" and he was un able fo find that prominent republi can leader. Another bore the signi ficant Inscription, "Where is The Btaln On the Flng?" One feature of the parade thnl caused much amusement was the ap pearance of two scrawny, little pigs, commemorating the historic speech made during the republican campaign by Mrs. E. B. Hanly. After the pa rade they were crated up and ex pressed to the wealthy Medford lady who told many audiences that she tas forced to sell her own two little pigs In order to buy a railroad ticket to town during the Wilson ''hard times." Funeral Over F.lophant. Soon after the arrival of the crowd ' at the bonfire, funeral obsequies were held. over the G. O. P. elephant. Th big figure of an elephant which has stood on top of The Peoples Ware house for years was put on aa ele vated platform, feet uppermost. With the band playing a funeral dlrg Henry Taylor acted aa hlifh priest and performed the loa sad rites. Above the prostrate figure of tho elephant was suspended a lantern with a flick ering light in It As the dirge came to an end the light burned out and Marshall Spell solemnly announced to the audience that the elephant was dead. The band played patriotic tunea around the fire for a half hour and firecrackers popped In a way thai suggested a Fourth of July celebra tion. When the bonfire began dying down, the celebrutors, headed by the band, serpentined up town, led by B. J. Murphy. Kven after the band had broken up. the paraders contin ued. A delegation of Athena Wilson ites, each armed with a tinhorn, ad ded their noise to the demonstration. Automobile horns honked and vied with the yells and yips from leathel lungs.

Hughes still withholds his congratulatory tele gram to President Wilson until the official count of votes in California, New Mei'co, North Dakota and New Hamphshlre. If the official count confirms the democratic victory Hughes will not sanction court pro ceedings or vote contests. The republicans are unwilling to concede defeat because a change of eight thousand votes in the close states might make Hughes the win ner.

Dispatches Declare it is Most Important Fight in Present Stage of WarAd vancing Russians are Reported to Have Found Hundreds of Corpses Marking Mackenzenfs Retreat. MAY NOT ENFORCE THE Measure is Declared Unconstitutional and ALio Provides for no Penalty. Says District Attorney. Though the "bone dry" prohibition amendment undoubtedly carried at the recent election, It will not become a Part of the law until the secretary of state has announced the official result and the governor has Issued a proclamation. And even then there Is some doubt expressed as to whether It will be enforced. District Attorney Frederick Stet wer this morning stated in an inter view that, as he is now advised, he I does not believe the amendment is i enforcable because it is unconstitution al nnd homiis nA npnnltv Is nrnvlried In It. The district attorney states that he was advised by R. P. Hutton, secre tary of the Anti-Saloon League of the state, that such an amendment has been held unconstitutional by the United States supreme court. For that reason Mr. Hutton told him, he states, that he was not supporting the (.measure, i . At the present time, the district at torney states that he will take no ac tion. He anticipates that the attor ney general will Issue an opinion soon and that a test case will be taken in to the courts. Mr. Steiwer states -that he has not yet looked up the records to deter mine whether or not the courts have upheld such laws. Inasmuch as the present laws of Oregon permit per sons to have liquor in their possession he believes the courts will hold that an amendment prohibiting the im portation of liquor will be construed as unconstitutional because Interfer ing with Interstate commerce. Be fore such an amendment can be con stitutional it is his present opinion that this state must, like Idaho, make the possession of liquor a misdemea nor. At any rate the amendment does not provide any penalty for a viola tion of its provisions so that it would be hard to enforce until the legisla ture meets and fixes a penalty. Shipment! Are Ordered. Notwithstanding these opinions many local men last evening tele graphed orders in to wholesale hous es in wet states to ship them the le gal allowance at once.

The great bat tle continues between the Ruseo-Rou-manians and Mackenien for the pos session of the Danube bridge at Cer navoda. Bucharest, Petrograd and Berlin dispatches said the battle was the most Important at the present stage of the war. Petrograd claimed the capture of Lunereav station, two miles west of Cernavoda. Berlin did not deny the claims. Military experts say Russian success at that point would materi ally change the Dobrudja front and place the Germans at a great disad vantage. Corpses Mark Retreat. The Russians are reported strong around Cernavoda and rushing artil lery for the final smash. Petrograd reported advancing Russians found hundreds of corpses marking the path of Mackenzen's retreat. There Is still doubt concerning sharp fighting; at Predeal. Both sides claimed the ad vantage. Berlin admitted the Ron manian and Transylvanlan armies had started a strong offensive but claimed all attacks were repulsed. Cernavoda In on Fire. ROME, Nov.'ll.
