Klamath's Work Is
Misquoted In Portland
SUFFRAG
E
In spite of the fact that Klamath
Coiitity went "ove the top" at the
rate of nearly 300 per cent In the re
lent enlistment for shipbuilders, the
county Ii only given credit for 6 per
cent of Iti required quota In a recent
luue of the Oregonlan.
Joel T. Ward, who was chairman
for Klamath County In thli work, an
nounce that the quota asked wan
forty men, and that enlistments re
cched were seveuty-Rlx men, show
In that the Oregonlan was In error.
It l probable that the figures pub
lished were from lint made before
the totala from this county hnd been
received.
