End of the
Suffrage
Campaign
A Splendid Banquet at the
Marion Hotel Saturday
Night Ends a Probably
Successful Suffrage Battle
With every person on the program,
no matter what his or her subject,
giving expression favorable to woman
suffrage, the biggest and most spirited
weotlng of the campaign season for
the purpose of promoting the suffrage
movement was held In the dining room
of the Marlon hotel Saturday night.
A total of nearly 20 numbers made up
the program, and while there were
several speakers who were expected
to be present who did not arrive, their
j'lnces were well filled by others who
were present, notwithstanding that
most of them were called upon una
wares nnd Bpoke extemporaneously.
Much to the disappointment of those
who had charge of the gathering,
Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe, of Portland,
piesldent of the Oregon Equal Suf
frage League, and her lniBband, who
vas also scheduled for an address,
were not present. Mrs. Therkelson,
of Portland, presided In the absence
of Mrs. Coe.
Judge Peter D'Arcy was Introduced
hy the chairman as toastmaBter of the
occasion and Introduced all of the
sneakers and the musicians. With his
Tcady fund of humor and his grasp of
the best quotations la English litera
ture. Judge D'Arcy served admirably
In the capacity for which he was cho
sen. His repartee with somo of the
npeukers, particularly Col. "Bob" Mil
ler and Edith Tozler-Wetherred con
tributed to the spirit of the meeting.
Manager Crowe's perfect dining
room organization resulted In the
courses being served without confu
sion and the menu was one long to be
remembered.
Among those who were booked on
the program, but who were unable to
tx present, were Dr. Esther Pohl
tovejoy, Dr. and Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe, all of Portland, Mrs. Kate Brld--well,
of California and Mrs. Ruth B.
Itldges and Miss Caroline Fcnton, of
Minneapolis. All conununlcatod their
regrets by letter or by telegram.
Mayor Welcomes Guests,
i In hlB usual laconic but catchy man
ner. Mayor Louis Lachmund extended
words of welcome to the guests. He
mentioned the Incoming of the equal
suffrage spirit In Salom as apart of
the general awakening from the Rip
Tan Winkle period of the community.
He said that Salem Is a city of doors
that swing both ways and that people
twetlng the equal suffrage movement
are welcome at any time.
In the absence of Governor West, A
T. Hofer, secretary of the Board of
Trade, spoke, briefly. Mr. Hofer said
that Governor" West was ardent In his
eupport of equal suffrage and some
other things, hinting that the execu
tive Is good at the game of making two
vote grow where but one grew before.
Secretary Hofer said he had never
fooled much with the question of wo
man suffrage and dln't know Just
where It was loaded. However, he
expressed himself In favor of the
move and said that he had no doubt
that It would win in the end and that
all would be better men and better
women as a result
The remainder of the speakers and
their subjects were as follows:
Julius W. Knlspell, Portland, "The
Socialist Party;" Mrs. Olive England
Enrlght, Salem,' "Suffrage Poem;"
Merwin E. Paget, Salem, "The Prohi
bition Party;" Edith Tozler-Wetherred
Tacoma, "Good Roads;" Judge Wil
liam Galloway, "The Democratic Par
ty;" Dr. B. L. Steeves, Salem, "What I
Will Do When I Become Mayor;" Col.
E. Hofer, Salem, "Home Industries;"
Walter L. Tooze, Salem, "Progressive
Women;" Mrs. Edith Kellogg Bartlett,
fialem, "The Infringement of the
Pcx;" Thomas B. Kay, Salem, "The
Republican Party;" Robert A. Miller,
Portland, "Political Equality;" Fred
3. Bynon, Salem, "Political Potpourri."
The paper on "Political Potpourri,"
by Fred S. Bynon, written after the
fashion of Mr. Dooley, was one of the
cleverest numbers on the program,
containing many local hits and thrusts
of a pungent nature.
The subject of "The Infringement of

FROM lowly lumberjack to executive chair of a great state tells
the life story of Governor Robert 8. Vessey of South Dnkota.
Twenty-five years ago the governor was poor and unknown In
a Wisconsin backwoods lumber camp. Today bo Is serving his
second term as governor of South Dakota, is one of the richest men In
the state and owns a string of banks. There's an American for youl

on a farm. But he saved a part of what he earned something which
seems bard for many persons to do nowadays and soon bs opened
merchandise store In Pierre. He was going up the ladder. A few yean

worth while, and it showed the governor's pluck and grit
Woodburn
to Vote on
License
In Judge Galloway's department of
circuit court Saturday the case of
Blaine McCord and 68 others against
J. J. Stangle, city recorder of Wood
burn, In which the plaintiffs seek an
order directing the recorder to sub
mit the question of licensing the sale
of Intoxicating liquors In that city,
was decided against the reoorder. By
the ruling of the court the recorder
will be required to submit the propo
sition to the legal voters at the com
ing city election.
The controversy arose over the fact
that when the petition was left at the
office of the city recorder he was
not In, and that the petitioners called
attention of his partner, U. M. Bitney,
to the matter, and asked him If he
would see that the matter had proper
attention, to which they received an
affirmative answer.' It then trans
pired that the document received a
filing stamp four days later than It
was actually filed, which would have
made Its filing too late to come with
in the pale of the law, and would
have shut It off the ballot.
The court's ruling was, In sub
stance, that the neglect of the officer
In properly filing the document
could not be UBed to prevent the pe
titioners from having the document
properly filed when It was first re
ceived at the office where the record
er stayed a part of the time.

GOVERNOR OSWALD WEST,
GOVERNOR OSWALD WEST of Oregon, who tins gained national
attention by bis prison reform methods, believes his theories
will be adopted by all states eventually. It will be recalled how
In July, 1011, Governor West, who bud then been In ofllce only
half a year, followed Jess Hall, "bad" man, who hud skipped, and In
duced him to return to prison. The governor had Introduced a new
"human" system of penal reform, whereby the convicts were placed on
their honor. Jess Hall "had thrown the governor down." But West
won him back. Governor West defends bis reform by citing the fact
that during the first half year, without gusrds and sleeping outside the
cells on hot nights, only two fled, while during the previous half year,
under the old system of Iron bars and guards, eighteen escaped.
Two Cons
Saw out of
the Prison
Sawing their wny through the
berred wlndowB in the kitchen at the
slate penitentiary between tho count
ing of the men at 6 and at 7 o'clock
last night, two prisoners, Frank Kelly
and Walter Davis, numbers 6S02 and
C534, respectively, scaled the south
wall of the prison yards and made
their escape. A large posse of guards
Land specially deputized officers Is
scouring the country for the fugitives
but no trace of the escapes bus yet
been found.
Kelly, who is a youth of 19 years,
was sent to the penitentiary from Dou
glas county, March 28, this year, upon
conviction of burglary, and Davis, who
Is 35 years old, was received at the
prison from Union county on June 12,
having been convicted of the same of
fense. Both were serving terms of
from two to five years.
Other Breaks Frustrated.
The present administration at the
penitentiary has been fortunate In pre
venting breaks of prisoners, the es
cape of Davis and Kelly being only
the second under the present regime.
The first was the break away of a
burglarly convict from Wasco county,
BtTVlng from five to fifteen years, who
escaped In December and was cap
tured In Seattle In April. Two other
attempts to saw out of the prison buve
been mado, but In both cases the at
tempts were detected and frustrated,
Kelly nnd Davis were employed in
the kitchen. They were at their work
when the regular count was made at 6
o'clock. At the second count an hour
later they were missing. An Investi
gation showed that in the Interim they
bud sawed through the bars with an
instrument procured In koiiio un
known way, and scaled the south wall
with a 'adder also procured In an un
known manner. The prisoners were
Judicious In the time selected for the
break, tho heavy rain which was fall
!ng and the extremely wet earth and
vegetation around the prison making
It Impossible to track them. Another
condition In their favor was that at
