Here in Oregon from a study of the claims made at the headquarters 'of Selling. IJourne and Lane we know that each one of them will re ceive the endorsement of the people and that when the legislature meu In January it w ill have the pleas ant duty of casting a vote for three senators from Oregon instead of one. This will, of course, delight ail the candidates as no one will Buffer the humiliation of defeat. But when we come to sift the dif ferent claims and look facts square In the face we find that there are some startling duplications. For in stance the electoral vote of the state of New York is elnfmed by the man agers of the three leading candidates. The same Is true as to the electoral votes of the stales of Illinois, Ohio. Indiana and Pennsylvania. As a matter of fact Tuft's chances of elec tion have brightened materially in the past ten days. His strength lias increased wonderfully and many of the old line republicans have come back into the party and have decid ed to vote for ihe head of their tick et. Wilson fs Taft's competitor. Had tbe election been held six weeks ago Wilson would have won easily. Today there is some doubt. Alto gether he has the best chance Taft has made many inroads into the Wil son strength lately, but whether they have been sufficient will not be known until after election and tbe votes are counted. Various claims are put forth in the Eastern slates as to the relative strength of Taft and "Wilson. Here in Oregon there Is a strong probability that the presi dent will carry the state although time were here, are here no more but sober industrious working men are here to take their place. Thus you will see labor conditions are also improved. I will never again vote for a wet town. Sincerely D. B. PUTMAN. Mercantile Man Talks. PUI I M AN, W.'-b.. Oct.

And right there his service ends for his first term. If he Is elected for the second term and If he has made any impression on the speaker of the house, he will be advanced to the more important com mittee on the gathering1 of informa tion In regard to the site of tbe farms owned by Americans on the island of Cuba. But if he is re elected for the third term he be- cfns to he nn nf the nlnVr member much depends on the farmer votejand lne SIwaker uke8 notice of lne fact and puts him on some really important committees. It is then that he can do some real good for niF state and constituents. A good man should be kept In congress just as long as be does not abuse the confi dent of the people who have elected him. Hawley has been in congress long enough to be of much more good service to his district should he be rot urn ed t here by t be vol es of the ieople this fall.

Selling for United States senator han a harder fight on his hands at the election next week than he had In the primary in April. Bournes "Made (Jood" campaign has made him many votes and supporters. Tbt one feature of his campaign, how- j ever, which will keep many or his f strong friends from voting for him ; is his utter disregard for tbe direct! primary. He professes to be the; father of the Oregon system which.; advocates the direct primary, was de- Teated in an honorable manner, tele-j Krapbed conprtauiatlnns to Selling, i offered his support and then Inter j enters the race us an inde!endcnt .

Having had many inquiries for Gas Stoves and Ranges, we have finallv accepted agencv, for which we think is the best obtainable, in the ACORN. Gas is THE fuel for home use, and especially so in the kitchen. Yith wood or coal, you require more room With wood or coal, you must wait sometime before securing re quisite heau With wood or coal, you loose time taken to keep stove supplied with fuel. With wood or coal, you have a constant variation of heat. With wood or coal, you cannot be gone very long or fire is out. With w od or coal, it is dust and dirt and smoke from time fuel is brought in until ashes are carried out. Do any of those objections apply togas? And cheapness is in favor of gas, if properly used, for it can De wasted as well as wood or coal. Come in and look over our "Special" series jof gas ranges, and you can be easily shown where economy lies. Look at cut in upper left hand corner, note that there is no stoop ing or lifting while using ovens. Note how easily things can lie kept clean and neat aoout it, even to the floor. Cost, O well now, don't worry over it, as it is low when cor" pared with goods ottered, and we want you to look goods over and then you can form a better idea of worth than you can from cold figures. Remember that we set up and connect ready for lighting. CALL FOR A GAS RANGE COOK BOOH. Churchill Hardware Co IJj I THE IRONMONGERS j' j .neatora returned home late lsat evening. LOCAL OTTO'S. !
