One of the latter type was the address of Judire Butler, of The Dalles, orator, Eastern Oregon man, and it is whispered, aspirant for the toga of one Nicholas J. Sin nott.

The opening gun of the cam paign, so to speak, was after its fashion, a double-barreled affair, one large and one small barrel, and was let loose on the unsuspecting community in the form of a demo cartic broadside by the Hon. Milton A. Miller and Judge Crawford. Then came volleys from machine! ! m.intinrww i U.-UI Im rwir'nuii'lrv fiir a large number of democratic votes A Native of Crook County.

Also, he is in the present campaign, be ing endorsed by republicans and democrats alike, and he does not feel so keen in lambasting the democrats as did Judge Butler. Mr. Sinnott did not hesitate to assert, and prove his assertions with convincing figures, that the democratic party is a bad pest in any country, and that it ist nothing short of a catastrophe to have them in power when the country is full of good, deserving j epublicans. Of course these were not the guns, 42 centimeters, and thepf thcm but anyone Hstening could I easily draw these conclusions. I The following evening, in the same hall, came Senator Harry ; Lane. The senator, like all demo cratic speakers, was not in the I mood to abuse the republicans just because they are republican?, for a glance at the registrations any 'year in Oregon, especially east of : the Cascades, will convince any speaker that he must have republi- can votes to get anywhere, be he ; democrat or republican, unless there be a third party, and leaders , of the Grand Old Party are here to i see that third party conditions do not often exist. Senator Lane proved, just as con clusively as did any of the se- ' publican speakers . prove their ; points, that there is a lot of bad ; business connected with the op- position, which he says was large ; ly republican opposition, to Mr. : Wilson's child labor bill, to the government armor plant bill and : other like progressive legislation. I He asserted also that large in terests in the republican party , were ready to let the United States i army enter the trenches of Europe for the reason that they, the large 1 interests, wanted to sell supplies' to j the United States, i Tonight we will hear Senator Huston. He is a republican and : an able'one, and he will no doubt be able lo throw more light on the somewhat confused situation. The political writer for the Journal has reached a conclusion. lit is this: On Nonvember 7 there will be a good, able rian elected president. The sun will shine on the following day, and regardless 'of the fact that spellbinders would like to make us believe otherwise, lanairs win proceed- in mucn me (etcliiim Improved methods in the Assessor's office will save the taxpayers of Crook County thousands of dollars. I pro pose to do that if elected. When Crook County was much larger than at present, this office was Tun for a mere fraction of what it costs to carry on the same work today Elect a man who has the interests of the people and the county at heart; who is com petent ond who can and will do the work he is hired to do. I propose to do the work which the people pay for hav ing done; to personally super vise assessing, if elected, and will do as much of this per sonally as time will permit and will handle the County's business in the same economi cal way as you would handle your personal business. same old way. Charles E. Hughes may be the people's choice. If so, well and good. He will be the president of all the people, and lie will be a good one. Woodrow Wilson may remain in the White House. Ho has been and will be a good president. He has done many good things and has made some bad mistakes, as any man who does many things will do. Go h the polls, vote your choice, and abide by the results. MAKE NO MISTAKE "Owing to the order in which thv initiative measures will appear on the ballot, I hope that every farmer in Oregon will scan his ballot carefully before voting on these measures," said J. D. Brown, president of the Farmers' Union of Oregon and Southern Idaho, in a recent statenu nt. "The phrase, 'Homemakers' Loan Fund Amendment' in the title of the first measure under the heading 'Proposed bv Initiative Petition may lead some to think it is the state rural credits' bill. That is not the case, as the rural credits' bill is the next to the last, the seventh of the initiative measures, and its title on the ballot is "Rural Credits' Amendment." "This first initiative measure is the Single Tax Bill, named on the ballot the 'Full Rental Value Land Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund Amendment.' It is commonly known as the 'people's 'land and loan measure,' and went by that name when signatures for the peti tion were being solicited. It is an entirely different measure from the rural credits' bill. "I find that not only among the laiming population out more especially in the cities and towns the voters are somewhat confused by these two measures. The vot ing numbers for the single Tax bill, the 'Full Rental Value Land Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund Amendment' are 306 Yes and 307 No. The voting numbers of the Rural Credits' Bill are 318 and 319. Farmers and all others in terested in the, Rural Credits measure should be careful to dis criminate between these measures."

Lest You Forget Vote 332 X Yes For a Rat and Rabbit Bounty It was effective in Harney county and will be in Crook - Newsom Creek Rabbit Club Paid Advertisement Thinks Rabbit Bounty Would Be an Injustice Editor Crook County Journal : Having seen several comments in favor of the bounty on rabbits, I venture to give my views Which I have gained from experience and observation. A few people pay the greater part of the taxes, while all voters may vote for the bounty. That alone makes it uniust. The ones who vote for a bounty on rabbits are injuring themselves, because they are causing the larmcrs to pay the bounty with the money they should be using to pay hired help. For an economic method of kill ing rabbits, nothing equals poison. One man can poison in two hours time in an evening, more rabbits than he and his family, including the hired man, can gather and scalp during the whole of the next day, while all this labor is needed in caring for the stock and other necessary work on the farm. In other words, it takes very little time to poison the rabbits com pared to the time it would take to gather and scalp the carcasses. If the county would help, let it furnish the strychnine to the poisoners. H. H. Hawley.
