Ancient Kingdom Again Called Into
Being by Proclamation of Ger
many and Austria First Task Is
v to Finish War Victoriously for the
Central Empires.
WARSAW, Nov. C. The manifesto
of Emperor William mid Emperor
Francis JoBopli again calling into ex
istence the ancient kingdom ot Po
land, was read at noon Sunday to tlie
assembled I'ollsh representatives in
tho royal palace by Governor General
Von Doseler. Outside in the great
square before the castle and In the
spacious courtyard ot the venerable
fourteenth century pile, inhabitants
of the old Polish capital gathered by
thousands to attend the ceremony of
what is designated as the re-blrth of
tho Polish nation a concept, the im
portance and bearing of which are
making their way Into tho minds of
tho neoolo more or less ranidlv after
its long sleep of more than a century.
Ceremony n .Shoi-t One.
Tho ceremony was short and sim
ple. Precisely at noon General Von
Beseler, wearing tho decorations
granted for tho reduction of Antwerp
and the Polish in the name of Ger
many's sovereign read the imperial
manifesto in ringing soldierly tones.
When he ceased, the Polish Count
ilutten-Czapski, the palace command
ant read from a leather bound pamph
let to the Polish notables a transla
tion of the manifesto in their own lan
guage. Then came cheers from the hither
to silent crowd; cheers for Poland.
Emperor William, Emperor Francis
Joseph, for Germany, and the Ger
mans, and for General Von Beseler.
President Brudzinski of the recently
elected city council, who is rector of
the University of Warsaw, advanced
, before the dais and In the Polish
tongue gavo thanks for tho Imperial
decree. He assorted the determina
tion of the Poles would be found wor
thy of the llerties conferred and
asked that as the first step toward
tho formation of the government a
regent be appointed for the kingdom,
since the time was ripe for the nomi
nation of the hereditary sovereign
promised in the manifest.
To Finish (lie War
President DriidzinakI who was in
plain civilian attire, without decora
tions, seemed to represent the spirit
not of the ancient Poland, and the
Polish chivalry, hut ot the modern in
tellectual Poland.
General Von Beseler replied In
crisp soldierly phrases that in the
midst of the world war had come the
moment of fulfillment of the long
cherished Polish wish for re-cstalish-luent
of the Polish kingdom.
"Doubts as to the future." he said,
"con find no place in Polish hearts.
$t will be our task, shoulder to shoul
der with the residents ot Poland, to
carry the war to a victorious conclus
ion and to heal the wounds of the
war. Take places at our side. In con
fidence which we repay by the mag
nanimous decision of the Austro-Gcr-
man monarchs who place their seal
on the plans for the unity of Poland.
We hope that soon a Polish army will
be fighting at our side in token of the
sentiment for development of the new
kingdom. May all good fortune at
tend the kingdom of Poland." ,

Aa tho result of a straw ballot fin
ished Sntitnliiy. The Mull Tribune pre
dicts that ir anything like the total
1-enlstered ballot Is polled, Wllsou
will carry Jackson county by upwards
or 20U0 majority, and Weatherford
for congress by upwards or 750 ma
jority; that the Hrewer's Amendment
will be defeated by upwards of 2300
majority and Hint the prohibition
amendment will cany by upwards of
20011 votes. In practically every sec
tion, Wilson will poll nearly the same
vote polled by Senator Chamberlain In
19U.
The vote was taken In resldenco
districts of Jlcdlord and Ashland, and
in tho towns of Jacksonvlllu, Talent,
Phoenix, Central Point and Clold Hill
and one country precinct, 'Barron.
Dallnls wore left at houses not con
nected with the itapcr and collected
next day, errort being made to Include
everyone In the district covered. An
honest efrort was made to secure an
accurato rorecast. Four hundred and
firty ballots were sent Ashland as
against 300 In Medrord, ror the rea
son that Ashland Is the republican
stronghold of the counly.
1,1.111 Votes Cnst.
A similar poll, taiieii two years ago
accurately forecasted the majority re
ceived by Chamberlain nnd Smith,
nnd the present poll underestimates
tlie Wllsou strength, as country dis
tricts t li ut are not included are even
stronger than the tovns for the presi
dent. A poll taken Friday In 14 iso
lated country schools In various points
of the county, gave a total of 3 4 for
Hughes and 1 3 1 Tor Wilson. Chil
dren In all Instances slutlng that they
voted as I heir parentB would,
Tlie total of 1130 ballots were re
turned marked. The vote stood:
Hughes, :i"ii; Wilson, 712; llanly.
2!; Benson, 33; llawley. 430; Klcll
tards, 43; Weatherford, 5711; Brewery
t Amendment, Yes. 300; No, 723; pro
hibition, yes u!i7; No, 300.
Assuming that S030 votes out of
the iiono registered are cast, and the
same percentage obtains, Wilson will
iarry tlie county by 2,332, Woather
'rord by 1.004, the brewery bill by
2,973 anil prohibition win by 2,773.
j Asbliinil Vote. '
! The vole at Ashland was laken In
tile three different residence sections
of the clly. West Ashland, the most
! conservative republican section, gave
'Hughes a very marked lead. This Is.
ithe smallest district iii population.
jThn section about the Boulevard and
jsouth was selected to keep away from
jtlie railroad Influence as much as pos
sible, and it gave Wilson a good ma
jority. The other section was from
;Oak slrnct and Hast Main eastward,
which district Includes the Influence
of the railroad employes nnd whkli
i w as overwhelmingly for Wilson. The
Barron precinct poll was taken at
slack Walkers little store on Nell
creek from those who called and
ivoted while the ballots were there for
;a du and a half.
