The number of Lane county boys enlisting in the army, navy and mar ines for the war was much larger than this, suine of them still being in ti e service, and many having out yet lil.-d their discharges for record This is dune so that in case the papers 1 r are lost a record of them will be avail- able on the county books. Lane county has recorded these pap- ' era free of charge for the veterans. J but other counties, says Clerk Hryson I are charging a fee for the work. As ! .soon as the ex-service men b. gun to I file their papers for record the county ! court ordered n special hook for them. anil made nil order that no fees be col ; h-cted.

I favor ratification with Lodge reserva ' tions. 3. I favor ratification of the peace treaty and - - League of Nations covenant substantially as presented to the senate by Pres. Wilson. 4. I am opposed to ratification in any form. Name Address Fill in and mail to Democrat. Qualified voters only, requested if stands. Those who have had aon and brothers in the war are especially strong for thia aland. Many favor the Wilwm plan, but are willing to accept a compromise to get the thinif s.-ttl. d. Senutor I-oilge has very few KUpport.-ra In Linn County and those who vote against ratification in any i form surely do not understand the' tr.aty and have given but little con- iderution to what such a course would mean to this country. The ballot being conducted by the Portlnnd Journal is very indicative of the attitude of the people of Oregon. The poll shows that the Wilson pro- gram is favored by more than eight o! one. Out of about 9,000, votes cast i but 93 favor the Lodge amendments. Thi: Journal's vote up to yesterday was: 1 For compromise and immediate ratification, &55. 2 For Lodge reservations, 93. 3 For ratification of the treaty substantially as submitted by the president, 8307. 4 Against and ratification, 193.
