f SUFFRAGE FIGHT ON IN TENNESSEE Ballot for Women Will Be Delayed, Say Opponents to Amendment. — | | | | Nashville, Tenn.—From the snarl of | legal and legislative technicalities that have enmeshed Tennessee's ratifica | tion of the suffrage amendment came | the prediction of the Tennessee con | stitutional league that.the injunction | against certification of the ratification, obtained Saturday, would prevent en franchisement of Am«{‘can women for at least a year and a half } Suffrage advocates reiterated ‘heir | contention that the action of the house in defeating the Walker reconsidera tion motion and in ordering the joint resolution of ratification mitted to the senate for engrossing to be unassailable, despite lack of a quorum. Governor Roberts declared he had | been informed by State Attorney-Gen- | eral Thompson that the action of the two houses of the legislature consti- tutes a ratification of the amendment and consequently he would counten anee no act intended to nullity the | ratification. ale is: RAILROAD RATES Salem, Or.—Intrastate railroad rates | to conform with the 25 per cent in crease charges approved recently by the interstate commerce commission will become effective in Oregon on August 26, according to an announce- | ment made by the Oregon public serv- | ice commission here. The action of | the public service commission in an- nouncing the new tariff follows out the arrangement tentatively agreed upon at a joint conference of the Ore. gon, Washington and Idaho commis- sions held in Seattle a few weeks ago. The action of the Oregon public | service commission is in line with | that followed by most of the state | commissions throughout the United | States and is in accord with the | urgent suggestion made by the three | commissioners who sat with the in- | terstate commerce commission at the | hearing of the recent rate case. | The Oregon commission in pursuing | this course made it plain that its action in no way establishes the rea- | sonableness of the rates filed or pre- cludes a shipper from bringing action | or prevents the commission from at- tacking any rate sq filed.

Republican Ungeneresity.—Repub- Hicans failed to recognize that Amertea had saved the world or to appreciate the struggles and sac- rifices of those who, in Aris or industry, helped win the war. Present Congress has not passed a single constructive law, but spent time and millions in seeking to make military triumph an odious chapter in history, Mexican Situation. — We have neither lust for their domain nor disposition to disturb thelr rights.

BAKER & SON WHERE QUALITY AND PRICES MEET The inherit quality of TRANSPORT TRUCKS has earned for them the confidence of the motor truck world. It is this that is ever increasing the demand for Transports. This that has trebled Transport plant capacity. This that has meant unusual success of Transport owners. The Transport Truck Co. Makes trucks ONLY so when you buy a Transport you buy the one article that has made the success of this company and which must continue to keep them successful. The Clark Internal Gear Drive places the WHOLE LOAD on an axle made to carry the load, while the traction is furnished by an axle built to PULL. It gives you traction like a tractor and carries its load absolutely independent of any gear or traction power. When you roll a vehicle by hand you take hold on the spoke away from thehub, just the way the Clark Internal gear drive takes hold on the Transport Truck. You do this be- cause you get more results with less labor and TRANSPORT does it for the same rea- son, and it makes less pull and strain on the transmission part of the machinery. = Every unit is the production of specialists in that line, and the combination of indi- vidual successful units has made success of the Transport. It is backed by a large com- pany and after closely investigating we have become convinced that we can safely back this truck with our approval, and we have patiently labored for years to establish our own reputation. Such quality as is given in the Transport will give us additional satisfied patronage. Ask an owner, or call and let us show you the specifications and see the truck. You will use the truck you buy, so buy a truck on your own judgment. | Yours for efficient hauling, Cottonwood Hardware & Implement Co. f 5
