DOUBTFUL STATE
CllICAUO, Oil. 10. Tim (tivtit
stuti' of Illinois is no limn'or snlVly
rcpuliliriin. Tl is now in the tloulitt'nl
I'oluinu, so listed by tlio highest re
publican iiulliority in the miilillo west.
Tim Cliii'iiKo Tiilmne, tin- most ar
dent supporter iif Unties,. tlii'iiue.l its
eliieC politicnl writer, 10. 0. Phillips,
who Ims .just returned from week's
tour with the repuhlieiin nominee for
governor, in a eolnuiu nrtiele Sunday
moraine; sjzes up the situation.
"Illinois is n doubtful state. At this
moment the ehanees lire, oveu ' that
Wilson will carry it. These arc facts,
rind the republican state leaders know
them and they have been told to the
republican national committee. Hut
Chairman Willcox and those with liiul
responsible for the conduct of the
campaign have not been stirred to nuv
noticeable degree. Two things stand
out impressively:
Two IUmimuis Stand Out
"1. The republican failure ill or
ganizing; the republican women voters
down state.
"12. The apparent concession, with
out any objection by the Hughes mini
agei'S; that the labor vote dowu state
in industrial i-enters is for Wilson.
"When, to this pair of circum
stances, is added the determined bat
tle made by the Sullivan organization
of Cook county, it is realized by the
initiated that there is real basis for
republican worry over the national
ticket.
"The women vote has- been ne-.
fleeted.
"Also in railroad and industrial
centers, railroad men and their affili
ates are disposed to be for Wilson on
account of the Adamsou bill."
Women Ai for Wilson
, Kepubliean dowu state and political
writers recognize the drift. The Trib
une admits that republicans have fail'
ed utterly so far to block the Wilson
avalanche and is pessimistic, over the
future. The Wilson sentiment is evi
denced in the moving picture houses.
Thunderous applause greets AVilson'rfi
countenance and but . little the por
trait's of Hughes. Yesterday -was the
- first registration in Chicago. Of the
471,0(10 put on the books, liit, 000
were women. If this ratio is main
tained throughout the state, more
tluni 500,0(111 women will vote for file
president, and polls thus , far taken
show Wilson favored two to one by
the women and by a majority of the
men.
The admission against republican
success by the Chicago Tribune is
considered here of the greatest significance.
FORFEIT $1000 TO
NEW YORK, Oct, 10. Thomas A.
Edison and Henry Ford eonforred
with Democratic National Chairman
McCormiek yesterday. They alao
lunched with him and Secretary of
the Navy Daniels. The four talked
for two hours about getting the wafto
earners' vote for President Wilson.
Chairman McCormiek said after tho
conference:
"Doth Mr., Edison and Mr. Ford
gave, valuable advice as to tho organ
ization of independent voters. They
promised to co-operalo with us In overs-
way."
Mr. Edison said:
"(ilvo tho people, the facts and It
will be a Wilson landslide. I have
always been a republican but I put my
country above party. In a world crisis
with the fate of America In the bal
ance I should take shame to myself'
if I did not put myself behind a man
vtao has Riven us peace with honor
prosperity with justice and prepared
ness without militarism."
Mr. Ford said:
"Like Mr. Edison, I am a republi
can. I cannot stay with a party that
puts office-seeking first and America
last. Tho president lias saved the
United States from the horrors and
desolation of International war. His
domestic policies have given new.
strength to letglttniate enterprise.
protected the worker, emancipated
the children and destroyed the evils
lapping the courage of America. Ho
is a great president and tho greatest
American.
"Woourow Wilson stands for Amer
ica and undivided allegiance for oqual
justice and the welfare of the many.
Against him are the forces of rapac
ity, special privilego eager to get
back their loaded dice, the exploiters
of children and greedy concession
aires. It is their millions against
Americanism "
MA 111 SOX. Wis., Oct. 10. Fifteen
hundred students, many of whom had
miraculously escaped from death or
serious injury, fled from class rooms
in the main hall of the Cniversity of
Wisconsin this forenoon when fire of
unknown origin swept throughout the
structure and destroyed the building.
The main hall, which is valued at
'J(C,000, is insured with the stale fire
insurance fund for $181,000. The
contents of the building; arc valued
at $10,000. The state fire insurance
fund today has on hand $115,071. The
loss is total.

in the literary society room. Student
members of the university fire bri

from the legislature, which had been
called into special session this after

Just as Well Tell the Truth
As the public knows, there has been a special sale going on at the Ahrens
Store for the past two weeks. Day after day the Company owning this
Store has built up hopes that M. Ahrens might be able to make a go of
this Store. The time has come. Mr. Ahrens' associates in business as
well as himself have grown tired of fighting a losing, waiting game. No
doubt this will come as a surprise to a great many people in this valley, for
this store beyond any doubt whatever carries one of the finest stocks of
Ladies' Wearing Apparel, Millinery, etc., to be found in Southern Oregon
