County
I The Eugene Register mukes the fol
low ing statement regarding the regis
I tratinn of the honorable discharge of
! service men and the question is asked
I about such a policy for Linn county:
I Approximately 1000 ex-service men,
in the army, marines and navy, have
filed thuir honorable discharge with
the Lane rounty clerk, and they are
coming in almost every day, says
Clerk Brj'S'in.
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

Fill in and mail to Democrat. Qualified voters only, requested
if stands. Those who have had aon

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

4 Against and ratification, 193.
