don't mean any particular creed but

for tbo first timo will bare a volco In
It. I expect to see a bitter fight, par-)
tlcularly over the question of major
ity or unit rule. I can, ot course only
speak for myself and what tbe women
may do when they enter the con von-i
tlon will depend largely upon 'the

action they take In the preliminary
caucuses. I believe an effort will be
made to put a plank In the platform
calling for a modification of the Vol

that everyone should he obedient to

tinued, "aro sufferers from ! profi

am sure wo have ingenuity enough
to devise a way to deteat tbem and,
lu other ways, to bring down the cost
of living. Inequitable taxation un
doubtedly will come in for its share
ot attention at the Ban Francisco
caucuses and the idea ot Henry
George ot stopping ipecujatlon In
land and relieving both workers and
industry from some of their burdens
undoubtedly wilt be ' advocated by
women. The worst profiteer 'of all
Is tbe profiteer in honsee and land.
The 'unearned Increment' of land,
the rental value, must be taken for
public revenue or tbe people will
stagger under their taxes till they
drop."
The woman leader declared that
"with the change in the political sta
tus ot women next, fall" there would
come, however, no violent change In
governmental affaire. It wpuld take
women, a long time to become prac
tical politicians, she said, but they
would become auch eventually. She
said the time would come when
women would till the most Important
offices within the gif Tot tbe people,

for some unknown point in eastern

morning before Judge Bean, but just
before he was to enter the court
room r le. held a conference with
Art-'T' .
i nitett states Attorney Humphreys
and agreed to disclose the where-
abnuts ot the, liquor cache which he
made when he took the liquor from
other bootleggers.
I Xing told Mr. Humphreys that he
bad 13 cases of the liquor bidden
somewhere near Prlnerllle. and he
accompanied the two revenue agents
there. Prouncement of sentence on
his federal court conviction will bo
delayed until they return with the
missing liquor.
I.ong was convicted mainly on the
testimony of L. L. Adcox, who testi
fied at the trial that while he was
bringing a quantity of liquor Into thn
state from California he was met at
a lonely spot along the sagebrush
highway by Long, who represented
himself to be a deputy United States
marshal. Long, he testified, took
possession of tbe liquor, while Ad
cox came on into Portland empty
handed and reported the occurrence
to the United States attorney's office.
Long, when first arrested, admit
ted taking the liquor from Adcox,
but be denied he had represented
himself as a deputy United State
marshal. He stuck to the same story
throughout his trial, but the jury
decreed otherwise and found him
guilty. An appeal from this convic
tion la. pending.
8iace he waa first arrested,, Long,
until Tuesday, refused to divulge the
place) where he hid the liquor after
he took It from Adcox. ,
"You could look for a hundred
years and never find It." was his
challenge to fedoral officials when
they sought to find where he had
placed the liquor.
It was announced at tho federal
building that no form ot immunity
has been qffered to Long because he
has consented to reveal the where
abouts ot tho liquor.
"I told the truth at the outset
when I said I did not Imporsonato a
federal ofllcer, and I am giving up
the liquor cacho now because I want
to prove to thorn that so tar as tho
fedoral government Is concerned I
am on the square," asserted Long, as
his reason for revealing his liquor
cache.
At the reputed market prlco ot
bonded whiskey In Oregon during
tho Dresenl days ot aridity, the
liquid property which Long Is turn
ing over to the government Is valued
at 14000.
