INDEPENDENCE ENTiPRISE INDEPENDENCE, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 110. NUMBER 24 WEST IN LEAD OF DIX DEFEATS 8TIM80N FOR GOV ERNOR OF NEW YORK IN NEW JERSEY WOODROW WIL SON, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, IS ELECTED OVER VIVIAN M. LEWIS. Portland Ort-Kiu Iia Just passed through tbe inot bltturly fought cam paign for a decade. Tbe center of Interest wa on tbe liquor question. There are three Initiative measures affecting thia matter. Ono a socalled "houie rule" aiueiidmcnt to the state constitution grant'ng to municipal! tie complete control of the sale of liquor. Against th'a are two proposed constitutional amendments prohibit ing the manufacture, sale and pos session of liquor. Second to the prohibition question wa the gubernatorial contest be tween Jay lloworuian, republican, and Oswald West, democrat. Through the newspaper chnrge of unusual erlousnoa have been bandiod back and forth regarding the candidate, even their personal honesty and In tegrity being assailed daily. With about one-tenth of the vote In the tate counted Indication point to tba election of 0wald West a gov ernor over Jay Bowerman, the repub- . fh ',Tf n'T 'V A1 08WALD WEST, Probable Successful Candidate for Governor of Oregon. licita candidate. Bowerman apparent ly Is the only state candidate lost by the republicans. Estimates based on the meager re turns place West's plurality over Bow erman at from 2C00 to 5000, with the possibility that the latter figure may be reached, Bowerman has run weil In most of tho Eastern Oregon coun ties, but lost some of the larger coun ties of Western Oregon. Out of a total of 8851 votes record ed Dowerman has 406G and west 4798 or a lead for West of 731. While this is less than one-tenth of the vote the ratio is not likely to be maintained because returns are wholly missing from some of the Bowerman strong holds. These, however, are the small er counties, and it is probable that they will not permit Bowerman to overtake West's lead by several thous and votes. Oregon Congresmen Republican. Oregon elected two congressmen, one from each of its two districts. Willis C. Hawley and A. W. Lafferty, republican candidates from the First and Second distriots. The vote Indicates that Ha-wley will lead his opponent by 8,000 to 14,000 votes, and A. W. Lafferty will have a majority of from 6,000 to 10,000.

In population ha also Increased pros perity, yet, there Is alway a follow ing of dependent classes and institu tions who care for this class, who are bound to feel thia increase, and the Boys' and Girla' Aid Society of Ore gon in making Its annual plea for Thanksgiving donation wishes to bring this fact before Its many frlends. - " Polk county has always bten one of the "society best friends and the management depends on the generos ity of the citizens at this time of the year.

Four hundred and ninety-six cases were received and cared for durliyr the past year by the society, xuese children came from seventeen differ ent counties of the state. Besides giving them a home the society has, quickly as-possible, found permanent hnmPH fnr them in private families where they are visited by the soci- ety's agents in order to ascertain Jf they are receiving proper care and being sent to school regularly, These agents have a large amount of work to do and Superintendent. Gardner says he wishes they could double this part of the force and would do bo If funds were available. This field work is Very expensive to the socie ty but it is also very necessary for besides visiting the five hundred children placed out in family homes the agents also Investigate cases of neglect and abuse that are reported to them and if St were not for these Investigations, many children would, suffer hardship and degradation with out Interference. The agents of the society Investigated about two hun dred of Miese cases the past year and prosecuted about tifty per cent. The management urges all those who have tW welfare of dependent children at heart to subscribe what soever they may feel able to the good cause and endeavor to make the do nations to the society from the public schools larger than ever this year.

PERSECUTE NOT 0 . . In a remote, Roman Province, Far across the Atlantic sea. Lived the loving hearted Jesus Near the shore of Galilee. He reformed a selfish religion By changing a murky stream Into that world-wide ocean Where heavenly shorelights gleam. He taught the rabble classes By arguments very ;onvinclble That of all creeds on religion Love should be their greatest prin ciple. The Pharisees as the old line Jews, The Romans, the Greeks, all the tearth He ever cared for and protected And of his love there was no dearth The Sadducees believed not In angels, Immortality, nor in heaven; Yet them ever treated well And forgave seventy times seven. A whole world believed not as he; By the chosen people he was bought; He was crucified by murderous men Yet he blessed and injured not. This is the life of that good man, The best and greatest of all time Who travelled over the Holy Land And led a life that was divine. When you're aboat to persecute your neighbor You should reason, now is this right? And no matter what the circum stances Do your duty wilth all your might. Whew you're about to persecute your neighbor " Thinlt what Christ would have done And no matter what the circum stances Decide to follow that noble one. Send no tlnkling-cymbal sounds above The -world is cold when one but ': pjeads;; But fill your heart full up with love The world bows low to noble deeds. There is but little in a mere belief, But there is as to what we' shall do; So let's ring out the old man Adam And do our best to ring in the new. E'er let us follow our own advice, From hate and persecution flee: E'er follow the noble life of Christ Our good shepherd of Galilee.
