Tho Potrbgrad correspondent of tho Observer sends tho follewing: "According to a report being circu lated In army circles that Russia re cently has been approached regarding tho concluding of peaco with Ger many.

Tho grand duko returned tho letter with this com cem ment: "'If you comply our armies will mutiny and thero wilt bo a revolution In all the Russia's.' " "No confirmation of the report Is obtainable." DIVIDED, WE FALL FIVE meii rtrc waiting for election news front Oregon. Hero nro their nnnies: Woodrow "Wilson. William T. Bryan. Robert !M. La FolloUe. .Franklin K. Lnno. Robert L. Owen. If you are a true American you will know whom they are. If you are intellectually honest, von will admit they are the great, progressive leaders of this nation, who are leading tho great contest in this country for a change of economic conditions that will give the people of this coun try equality of opportunity that will forever put au end to the power of a man or set of men to destroy the capital and business of other men for profit that will forever terminate tho legal right of men to rob and steal the earn ings and savings of the American people by such plunder ing organizations as the JS'ew Haven railroad or the steel trust that will put an end to the extortion practiced upon the American people in the unjust profits of the trusts and monopolies and usurious interest rates. These men have asked the people of Oregon o( elect Senator Chamberlain. Do you believe, they are honest men? Do you believe they are sincere men? Will you grant their request? Will you give them Chamberlain to help them in their great work? There are others waiting for election news from Ore gon. Hero is a partial list: The Steel Trust. The Sugar Trust. The Lumber Trust. Tho Coal Trust. The Standard Oil company. The Woolen Trust. The Money Trust. The Southern Pacific company. The Water Power Trust. You know whom they want for senator you know it is Mr. Booth. Do you think your interests are identical with that list? Will you give them Booth to help them in their great work for humanity? There are others waiting for news from Oregon. Their names arc: Colonel O. "R. S. Wood. Thomas W. Lawsou. They want Mr. Ilanley for senator from Oregon to help Woodrow Wilsou. No doubt they are sincere. f they are, should not Mr. Wilson's choico'in the matter have some weight, especially with his friends, for such both these gen tlemen claim to be? If Woodrow Wilson has chosen, it should be enough for his friends. 'Twos ever thus in the past; must be always so in the future. Will those who oppose liberty and .-justice always find the lovers of liberty and justice divided and be able to live forever in power because of such division ? What excuse lias an honest man who believes in Wil son and La Follettc, for opposing the verv man they ask for? Why imperil the chances of his election? WHY ASK VOTES FOR IIANLEY WHEN A VOTE FOR ILVNLEY MEANS A VOTE FOR BOOTH, AND ABOVE ALL, WHY DO THIS UNDER. THE PRE TENSE OF BEING PROGRESSIVE? office. A wealthy retired morohant, for many years man ager of an immense wholesale business, he will bring to the county business a most valuable experience. .1. F. Uittson has made good as chief of police in Med ford and will undoubtedly satisfactorily fill the office of sheriff, if elected. Leo Jacobs for recorder made a good record as county clerk several terms ago and is too well and favorably know to need comment. 'No fault can be found with his opponent, Chauiiccy Klorey, and the selection becomes one of personality. For treasurer. S. I. Urown has (he. advantage of an ex tended business experience. VOTE FOR TOM KAY Witliycombe and the O. A. C. AMONG candidates deserving of support in .Jackson county is Tom i. Kay, who seeks re-election as slate treasurer. Mr. Kay spent his bovhood in .Jackson county, where his father conducted the Ashland woolen mills. For many years subsequently he traveled annually over the valley purchasing wool, .lie is familiar with the growth and development of the county and has always shown his friendliness in his official capacity. When M iv Kay was a member of the state senate he championed the Crater Lake road bill and the Ashland Normal. As a member of the state highway commission he has been instrumental in guaranteeing state aid in high way construction, and .Jackson county's share this year ap proximates $70,000. Hut it is not upon Mr. Kay's friendship to .lackson county that his re-election should be based, but upon his merits as an office-holder. U every sense of the word he has made good. His record is one of efficiency. Although the business transacted in tho state treas urer's office during tho last two years has amounted to :W per cent more than during the biennial term preceding his election, yet it has been done at practically no increased cost to the state. As an evidence of an economical admin istration Mr. Kay will turn back to the state over $1000 appropriated by the last legislature for the running ex penses of his office for the last two veal's an unheard-of procedure. Mr. Kay as state treasurer serves on the boards and commissions which transact state business, and no state in stitution on whoso board Mr. Kay acts has ever had a deficiency. Such faithfulness deserves recognition from the public. VOTE FOR BOTH NORMALS THE UNDERWOOD TARIFF RUINS THE FARMER ALBANIA NOW TRAGIC LAND OF THE EARTH NEW YORK, Nov. 2. "I had to mako tho statement that I am churg ed with," continued Mr. WlllIamH. "It was my last cry for freodom and Justlco for Albania before the nutlons of Em op began to fly at one an other's throats. Albania, surround d by six powers, was In tho hands of usurpers who had no business thero and who wero sotting ono religion against anothor. I huvo been told that Italy and Uiecce huvo onteied Albania and If they havo, it moans a fight to the finish. When Kssad J'asha wont to Albania Jt was under btood that ho was backed by Italy. With Turkey now In tho field, arm ed ngalnst tho allied iKworu, it means that tho Ilalknns will again become a soothing caldron." .

TJie fight against this meas. lire is endorsed by tho Oregon Con gr4w of Mot horn, tho Hlalo Fedora tion of Woinen'H club nml other civic orgHiiUullons, i,j ndv, THE following are given for the purpose of showing the prices for farm products under the Dingley tariff and republican administration and the present prices, based on Chicago markets: 1900. Wheat, winter $0.G4V Corn .40' Barley .vlfi Rye '.01 Oats 29 Beeves G.25 Hogs t 4.90 Butter .' 25 Those given for 2900 were the prices at the end of the four years of McKinlcy's first administration. The aver ago increase is over 40 per cent in favor of democratic times. Of course, no one but a "mutt' would claim the tariff fixes these prices, but in the face of them, what becomes of the standpat-Booth-Oregonian argument that tho Under wood tariff is ruining the Oregon farmer? Yesterday the Orcgonian 's market page shows eggs in Portland quoted at 28 to 42 cents; in Chicago, 17 to 20 cents. The Oregonian should advocate a tariff against the "pauper" eggs ot Illinois. 1914. $1.12 .73 .59 .91 .49 8.25 7.00 .35 HPIIE voters of southern Oregon will view the Normal JL school measures on the ballot from the broad staud- pdint ol their importance to the entire state cud not from the mere local advantage to southern Oregon, and thev will vote for both the Eastern Oregon State Normal school at Weston as well as tho southern Oregon school at Ash laud. $outhem Oregon, andespecially .Jackson county, has a consistent record pf supporting overwhelmingly all edu cational iustitutionsrsupporting them loyally nsa matter of principle. It is tin'; ropulhtionWloing things as a matter of prin ciple that gives southern Oregon its certificate of charac ters the most progressiva section of the state and shows in marked contrast the spirit of the northern part of this state. .Tackson county is a progressive county. It wants to go forward; it wants every section of tho stale to go forward. Dixon, a Jackson County Boy To tho Editer: R. A. Rooth in his speeches eulo gized most highly A. C. Dixon, tho present manager of tho Hooth-Kolly Lumber company, speaking of him ns an Ashland boy. Mr. Rooth caused quite an Interest to bo aroused in this paragon ot corporation ideals. It is true that Mr. Dixon grow up In Ash land and this eulogy also'drawa at tention to some closo affiliations with the. Southern Pacific that might not do Mr. Rooth any particular good among tho masses of voters. Mr. Dixon married a schoolmate of his, an catlmablo young lady, MIbb Carrio Herrln and by that alllanco bo camo tho brother-in-law ot William F. Herrln, tho brains and political head of tho Southern Pacific railroad. MIbb llorrln received her finishing education at tho homo of her fam ous brother in San Francisco. Sho Is his favorlto sister and Robert Rooth' good opinion of Mr. Dixon Is only exceeded by that of Mr. Herrln. Mr. Herrln has for joars been es tablishing his brother-in-law so that ho will bo a credit to his protege and Mr. Dixon's relationship as well as his capacity as a Rooth-IColly master was not overlooked in Its possibili ties by Robert Rooth In tho construe tion of his great fortuno, slnco that fortuno got Its first rlso through frlonilly freight tariffs, railroads built to his mills, tho purchauo or tho 70,000 acres of O. & C. land grant on credit, as well ns political In fluence and commercial prcstlgo and financial power. PIONKKR. The New Chaperone ON LOCAL CANDIDATES TIIE MALL TRIBUNE hesitates to make recommend tions regarding various local candidates, as'most of tlio aspirants lor olliee are personally known to the voters, who make their choice largely from personality, as party politics does not and should not govern. For state senator, JT. von dor Hellon has the advan tage of six years' experience in the legislature. He stood for those things that Jackson county was most interested in and made a good record. He supported Governor West in his efforts for welfare legislation and almost uniformly voted to sustain his vetoes. He was tho only senator vot ing to sustain the veto of the swamp land steal bill. His defeat would be a mistake. Vov representative, Miss Towne, the first woman can didate, deserves election. The other candidates are W. P. Mcnloy, representing tho progressive republicans, and JjYed I), AVagnor, tho republican regulars. For county commissioner, Frank J I. Madden is by all odds ono of tho best qualified men that over sought tho (From the Portland Journal.) Observers havo been Interested In tho clrcumstanco that on his trip for tho speech at Astoria, Dr. Wlthy combo at Astoria, Or. Wlthycombo was not accompanied by Mr. Rooth. Tho person to whoso supervision Dr. Wlthycombo was committed for tho Astoria trip wuh Wallace McCamant, attorney for Wells-Fargo and other corporations. Mr. Rooth chaperoned Dr. AVlthy combo to Hlllsboro on tho occasion of tho famous speech at that placo in which Dr. Withytombo said: Oh, my frlonds, think of our for est wealth; ono sixth of all tho tim ber in tho United States is hero, but Senator Rooth is to speak, lio will toll you all about that, Tho surmlflo is, that after thut break, Mr. Rooth has bo coin o skit tish and doesn't want (p bo In tho neighborhood any more, whoa tho doctor Is in action, Tho under standing is, in fact, that every body from the Orogonlon towor down to tho office boy In tho Wlthycombo licudquarlors has tlio JIiiiJuiiim every tlmo tho doctor unllmbors for n talk.
