The ' end <«r has always deplored and abstained from as
much as 1 isoible the use of personalities in an election contest.!
It is not the right way to conduct a campaign. We do not contend
the recent attack of Governor West upon Hob Caples for his well
known personal deficiency, but West had an excuse, for there is
probably no other man in the state who has been so bullied and
villified by the Republican press as he. and it is his nature to come
back at his enemies by saying hard things. We wish he were of
a more diplomatic temperament for his own good, but can hardly
blame hint for being that way. The same might be said of Caples.
inasmuch as it wus his play to keep his mouth shut. Had it not
been for that same unfortunate failing he might today have been

The voter of discernment has only to note the methods em­
ployed by the two old parties in the present campaign to assure
himself which party has right on its side, and our own county is
large enough for the exemplification. The Democrats with a
leadei of worth in the person of Frank Fawk. chairman of their
committee, are working without capital, except a very
few di«Uars voluntarily contributed by county candidates, relying
«'most entirely upon the Justness of their cause and the reputation
of the wen they have nominated. The standpatters have un­
limited capital behind them from the “Interests,” national and
sis i . ¡ 1 «! in addition have assessed their county candidates
heavily. They have kept one print shop in the county busy
during tiie i ast month turning out literature to confuse and de­
ceive voters as to the real Issues and pursuade them that Dem-|
ocracy has not lived up to the promises of the last election, or
that such policies are not making good. With this great difference
in the “sinews of war” it will soon be up to the intelligent voters
to decide between the two. Will you be deceived by all this dis­

t
/hat senator from Oregon has ever received the important
committee assignments that Chamberlain now holds, Is it be­
cause of his ability to fill them with credit to the nation? Would
such positions be given to men liable to make grave mistakes and
bring discredit on the administration? Would they be given to
men of no experience, or who did not know thoroughly how to
handle the grave questions always coming up to confront such
committees? There is just as much difference in having Cham­
berlain or Booth in the senate as there would be between a learned
professor and an untried school boy in a college.

President Wilson’s administration will
be endorsed or rebuked by the voters next
month. Maine has already approved him.
The nation will accept the result of the No­
vember elections as the people’s opinion of
the President.
European countries will watch the re­
turns to learn whether Mr. Wilson has the
support of the American people—whether
he speaks with the voice of a united nation
when he speaks for peace.
The record of the past two years is one
of precision and efficiency. More big things
have been done in months than were done
In years before. This is the record:
W ar w ith Mexico averted.
In co m e tax effective by constitutional amend­
m en t nnd s ta tu te .
A n n u al ta x o f $210,000,000 on sugar repealed.
C u rre n c y law passed, which has universal praise.

h a s y ield ed $500,000,000 to t i e American people.
Peace treaties with England, France, Spaln.China
and numerous smaller powers negotiated. A pleas­
ant contrast to w hat is going on In Europe.
Anti-trust bill passed. Trade Commission bill
passed. Rayburn securities bill passed. These three
three measures go a long way toward securing exact
justice between the public and the great industrial
corporations.
Industrial employes arbitration act passed. It
gives much better facilities for settling great strikes.
Agricultural extension act pnased. It is believed
that this will result In doubling the production of
American farms.
The foregoing Is the President's report to the
voters, ft Is for them to say In November whether
they approve, or whether they want these things un­
done.
President Wilson has asked for the re-eloctlon of
9enator Chamberlain. Ft« wrote: ”1 want to say
how sincerely ! hope l>r re-election of Senator
Chamberlain ”
