APPEAL FOR VOICE
Medford, Ore., N'ov. 1, 1918.
Wo wonder It Republican women
may be allowed to Bay a few words
political since the President has
made his partisan attack? We are
-wearing stars for Republican boys In
the service and in the trenches and
we want to know If they are to have
no representation In our National
Government.
The volunteers came so largely
from the northern republican states
that it has been estimated that there
were 70 per cent republicans in the
army. Wo women who have pur
boys at the front have worked In the
Red Cross, the Liberty '.oan, the aux
iliaries, and have saved food and
gone without new clothoi and made,
the many sacrifices necessary in or
der that we nilKlit provide for the
boys and stand behind the President.
But for the loyalty of the Republi
cans who passed his war measures hi
cans who passed his war measures, in
of his own party, President Wilson
would today be a largely discredited
statesman and the United States
would be .playing a pitiful part in
this great conflict. The record of
the present Congress shows that the
President received a larger support
from Republicans in all his war mea
sures than he did from the members
of his own party. 74 per cent of the
Republicans supported the 51 mea
sures asked by the President and
only 68 per cent of the Democrats
were back of the President. Without
the Republican support very few,, .if
any, of the President's measures to
back up the war would have had the
eanction of Congress.
The American people are back ..of
the President in this great struggle
for the protection of the Nation andH
for all humanity; we women say:
support the President, and the surest
way to give the President rongivs
fdonal support the remainder of the
May, is for tlio people to see (hut
the United States Senate mid -,- the
national Hoiino of Keprcsenlutivo.s
liavo Republican majorities in the
new congress. .. .. -
The President has appealed to the
people to return only democrats to
congress, regardless of qualifications,
and has asked for the defeat of loyal,
patriotic Republicans, who have sup
ported the war and war measures, in
a desperate effort to support the
President In his attitude, Democrats
have raked up some words of former
Presidents Roosevelt and McKlnley
with an unlikcness to President Wil
son's appeal that is really remark
able. Tho Republican mothers of Repub
lican boys believe they will want rep
resentation In Washington, and we
urge, that tho absent, they be given a
Bqiinro deal.
We know that Senator McNory,
Governor Withycombe and Represen
tative Mawley have done and are do-i
ing everything that can bo done for
the welfare of our boys. As mothers
of soldiers we appeal to you to give
your support to these men on Novem

"For six months 1 suffered with a
painful weak back. As a traveling

dread as the pain when I straightened
up was awful. Numerous remedies
failed to reach my case. I was in

Food Administrator Toller bus re
ceived the following: instructions dat
ed October :i0, 1918:
To nil Conntv Administrators :
The foltowintr wire has iust been
received which will modify the rale?
to public eutintr places:
"lieferrii'ir public) ealinir places
program: mince pie, larded sweet
breads, larded nilt't of beef, hash,
meal cakes, meat pies, troulash, etc.,
containing two or more kinds ol
meats, scraps uml trinmiiniis. may be
served without violating general or
der number, four. It has been de
cided that following combinations :
livernnl bacon, chicken and Virginia
ham, and club sandwiches mav be
served; also that a variety of sand
wiches containing different meats
may be sold at one time. This su
persedes previous instructions re
garding interpretation general order
number four."
A letter will be sent lo all public
eating places bv our hotel chairman
as soon as it can be prepared, but in
the meantime uive it publicity through
vours newspapers. This must not be
construed in any wav to mean a let
ting down of the restrictions, but as
you will see, every one of these con
cessions is meant to secure "a greater
saving by enabling public eating
places to use up all the left-overs in
an appetizing maner. 1'erntisMon
tu serve ha eon with liver was neces
sary because it was found-that liver
would not be used to any extent un
less used in this combination, nnd,
of course, it is highly desirable that
this by-product be used as freely as
ever.
Complaints are coming to Ibis of
fice that many public eating places
throughout the state are not comply
ing with the general orders effective
October L'l, copy of which bus been
sent to every public eating place in
Oregon. We wish that von would im
press upon them very emphatically
that thc-ie are positive orders nnd
must be obeyed. Failure to do so will
result in revocation of their license
if they are licensed public eating
places, or in cutting off their sup
plies of licensed food commodities il!
lliev are not themselves under license.
YVe expect that vou will discontinue
absolutely the issuance of suo-ar to;;
canning purposes after October ;Ust.
Kvidentlv some of the county ndniin-v.-U"

structions regarding use of dealers',
sugar c;irds. Now that dealers are
permit ted to sel a month's supply to

Addresses Open Letter
To Citizens of Jackson County
During these trying days when In nrr.-vor lo Iho demand oT
leaders, every loyal clilzen Is pivins every Hparc moment of hia tlnio
and every availatilo penny In both cah and credit to aid hi' the ruc
resKful prosecution of tho v.ar, I feel that political campaign"
should lie dispensed with, and in place of personal visits to each
voter I addross this open letter to tho citizens of .lackson County,
with the object of presenting my views on several of the points at
is:;ue. -
Kirst: Ono who serves you In the slate, senalo In order to give
niaximuin service niuat have had scrvlco In the houe. A place In
tho senale has always been looked upon us a promotion. My col
leagues of last session are each candidates for his old position. If
you aro satisfied with my services In the houso It in but proper and -right
that you should express that approval in giving your support
to me for tho senate.
Second: I pledge myself lo support, by voice and vote, tho rati
fication of tho National Prohibition Amendment.
Third: I pledge myself lo support all measures assisting In the
winning of llio war or to glvo aid. comfort or a.1 si. tance In any man
ner to Ihe boys fighting our battles, or to their di.pendenls. I be
lieve that no sacrifice wo can mako will ever repay the debt of
gratitude this nation and humanity owes them.
Fourth: The most impvrUint local county Issue, at this time, Is
good roads. Every ono favors good roads. The last legislature
passed an act outlining a road program costing approximately fifty
millions of dollars, airtl appropriated six million dollars to start
tho worlt. The people of Oregon later by vote, approved this mea
sure. Jackson County had already expended five hundred thousand
dollars on tho Pacific Highway In this county tinder an understand
ing that the other counties north would lu ll.'iic, make corresponding
expenditures, and a hard surface Pacific Highway constructed. Tho
north counties failed lo follow our lead and now tho state has.
under the last law mentioned, assumed complete charge. THIS

tho new stale plan of highway bulld'ng Jackson County should
have funds to make Ihe building of these many laterals possible.
1 do pledge myself that this subject shall have my main atten

It is not a crime, dear lady, but. beiv is what the President

BOARD.
lie could have rendered the services on the district board
without great hardship for that reason and for the further reason
that his war work on the board was performed in the early months
of the year when his wheat farm did not demand his personal at
tention. On the matter of payment the President's regulations fur
ther states:
There aro citizens whoso tiorvlees the country needs In this capacity,
hut who cannot without disproportionate- loss and hardship longer absent
themselves from their prlvalo business without compensation. Tho ser
vices of the.io men cannot bo spared by the government at this time. Tho -rnto
of compensation for members of local district hoards, prescribed in
sections 194 and 1!I5, is prescribed to relieve this situation.
It was under the provision especially provided for those not
well-to-do that the well-to-do Pierce drew payment from the Gov
ernment. In asking office as further pay for patriotic labors the
predominating sentiment of the I'ieree campaign does Candidate
Pierce conlcnd that $1.25 an hour for draft board work, or $2.20
a bushel for wheat he "grows for the Oregon boys in Prance," is,
not enough fur his siiignal services'?
