If the electors o this state will but appreciate the importance uf the first gun to be fired off this Presidential rear, and will avail themselves of an opportunity to show their appreciation of Presi dent Roosevelt and his policies, and their appreciation of the doc trine of the Republican party of this state as enunciated in the platform adopted by the recent state convention, they will see to it that a full vote is polled on the 6th day of next month; in that event, at least 100,000 votes will lie cast, and the majority tor Judge Moore, our nominee for supreme Judge, will be at least 20 per cent thereof; and the combined majori ties of our Congressional nomine will equal 20,000. All that is necessary for the voters of the First District to manifest their apprecia tion of Hon. Binger Hermann's services in Congress is for them to go to the polls and vote; and tlte tame thing may be said of Hon. J. N. Williamson, our nominee in the Second District. After the November election nobody East will inquire bow Oregon went; but should an unprecedently large Re publican majority be cast at the coming election, Republicans all over the United States, particular ly in doubtful states, will empha liie the question, "Have you heard from Oregon?"

JUIHiE LAYCOCK ENDORSED, Prineville, Oregon, June 1, 1W4, To the Republican Voters of Crook Count v: An issue has been inaugurated for purely campaign purposes making the County Division ques tion the one vital point in the election of a State Senator from our district next Monday. While the position is well taken, and ap peals strongly to every voter in Crook county, it is misleading as it throws Hon. J. A. Laycock, the Republican nominee in a wrong light, the natural inference arising from the inauguration of such an issue being that Judge Laycock favors the division of our county. Such is not the case. Instead, he is unalterably opposed to it, and has pledged among his efforts for his constituents, a stren uous fight will be accorded any measure that may arise during his term as state senator, if elected, looking towards the division of Crook county. His election wriich is assured, will p!d. him in the RppuUlicnu ranks in the -coming legislature, which means that be will he, on the tide of the working majority. Can the voters uf Crook county be led into laying aside party affilia tions for a deceptive issue that is Crook County Socialist Tkket. For County Judge, J. B. McDowki.l, Haystack. For Commissioner, Tuos. AiiNoi n, Sisters. For Sheriff, W. H. BiRiwixti, Prineville. For Clerk, J. F. Caywoop, Culver. For Treasurer, J. A. RicHis, Prineville. For School Superintendent, B. F.

Did it ever occur to you as strange bow lawyers, eminent in their profes sions, could afford to almndoil ft large portion of their practice and accept alt office, the salary oj which is little above sheepherdor's wages? By doing so they at least lay themselves open to suspicion that they exiled to recoup their lost prsetiees in 'Take oft's" il contracts to be let. Suspicion : baa been aroused in the past and to avoid such suspicions in the future wo bad hotter leave the lawyers to their practice and elect a man to the judgeship who knows not the technicalities of the law that covers up graft.

Although Judge Laycock baa pledged him self unalterably opposed to county division and has further promised to lend every effort aeaiiust To The Voters of Crook Cpunty: During my absence there ap peared in the Crook County Jour nal, of May 26, 1901, under the signature ol one M.

He is also unequivocally einuations, and criminal assertions j in favor of Hon- j. H. Mitchells that beneht no man to make,-and i., to ,he United States much lees a man that desires to Senate. till the honorable position of Coun ty Judge. I submit what my friends have to say, is folllows: "I have investigated the matter of charges against V. A. Bell when acting as U. S. Commissioner, and have seen Attorney John H. Hall in person and he ssys there is no charges against him and none have been made whatever." John Courts. ''Divide up, you are in favor of dividing up everything." Where did you get that idea of socialism? Where and by whom was this idea originated? It originated in the fertile brain of some enemy of the wealth producers of the world, the productive laborers. For be it known that this "dividing up" process is the sole cause of the rise of socialism, the productive labor ers have been forced to "divide up" with the capitalists, giving the capitalist eight tenths of all the wealth they have produced, while the laborers had to live, or die, on two tenths of what they produced. That is the kind of "dividing up" that has been going on under the present capitalistic system of wage slavery, since the deluge of the Noahic period, to the present time. That U the kind of "dividing' up" we object to and oppose, and we propose to oppose it until there shall be no paper-collared, plug hatted drom putting on snobbish airs at our expense and crowding us off the sidewalk. There is an "impending crisis" between capital and labor; one or the other is destined to control the other; the laboring class will eithei control the enlightened world, or they will be reduced to non-voting slaves. Which shall it be? You honest toiling millions of farmers. who have nothing to sav as to what you get for your products, nor what you pay for what )ou buy, do you want a change? Do you want the present system to maintain and bequeath it to your children? This unjust system which compels you to give eight bushels of wheat of every ten you raise to the capitalist? If you desire a change in this system of robbery, a peaceable hange, study the science of! Charles B. Dinwiddie, the Demo cratic candidate for County School Superintendent, has been a rest dent of Crook county since 1S'.i7, and during that time has taught successfully for a period of till mouths. At the recent examina tion held in this cily for teachers Mr. Dinwiddie received a state cer tificate which requires the appli cant to pass in eighteen branches of studies. Prior lo coiuint;. to Crook county the Democratic can didate was a successful teacher in the schools in Barton county, Kan sas, and Line county in this state. In both places he was classed with the liest and baa maintained 'that record In this county. Mr. Din widdie has fought his own way in the world, educated himself, and during the summer months has always found employment to earn money to better tit himself for the! positions he ha fought. As a can didate fur County School Superin tendent, up better qualified man has been put liefore the voters. mom KnNTwnniiouT St "9y Xtac" ChUiinf SAFETY Lies In Buying Cuitraiilecd Clothing for Boys and Young Men.
