Dois a party nomination for office moan

campaign to receive his nomination?
Can a cainliilate who has received the party
Humiliation for office be assured that he will
receive the sttport of that party or must lie
knew that lie has no more advantage and no
more prestige by receiving that nomination
than dues the man who has no party behind
him nor who has gone to the expense and
worry of a primary campaign? If a man who
has received the nomination from l;i party
caiititil receive the support of that parly what
is the use of having a primary election? Why
should the county and state be put to the great
xpeiise of a primary election if the results of
that expenditure means nothing? If the parly
ili'si'iiation behind a man's name on the ballot
means nothing what is the use of having parti-
ll must be admitted by every person of
c.nlinary observation that the present plan of
primary elections has almost eliminated party
lines. It is a demonstrated fact that party
nominations obtained under the provisions of
the present primary law anv.um practically
to nil. And vet the sovereign people make the
nominations. The rank and tile of the parties
iiilv the candidates. No packed convention
ir political boss has dictated the persona! of
ilic candidates of any party and in spite of all
his tin re is more knifing done and less regard
or party purity and party loyalty than under
t lie old system. It is high tune that members
of any political party w ho are members of that
party from principle should rally to the suport
I the candidates nominated by that party and
prove the efficiency of the direct primary law.
stand should be taken by Republicans to
ilcct Republicans. Democrats should use
very elTort to elect Democrat. Other parties
-hoiiM do the same. There should be display
ed at me coining election a loyalty to party
hat would at once prove the wisdom of the
primary law.
livery man who was nominated by the Ue
piililicaus at the primary election last May
lioulil receive the Republican vote. Kvcry
uan who received the Democratic nomination
ast May should receive the Democratic vote,
mil so on among the other parties. This of
course when the candidates of the parties are
men of character and standing and the equals
of the opponents. When" such a tiling shall
ave come to pass the primary law may be
ailed a success, t'ntil such time it is a failure.
If the people of Oregon are in earnest about
die lliiect Primary I. aw on the statute books
il is up to them to get behind the candidates
I the parly in which they took a part. A
voter who voted at the primary is m duty
bound to support the candidates of that party
just as much as were the delegates of the form
er ('(inventions bound to support the candi
dates of convention in which they took part.
let us see if the people of this county and
ale are really in earnest about the direct
primary law by voting for the candidates of
dieir respective parties. If not it is then time
t hegin to make preparations to go back to
die days of the ring conventions and political
tosses.

Senator Chamberlain is asking that lie be re-
turned to the United States Senate as an cn
'kirseineut of the present Democratic admin
Oration. The papers supporting hint are us
"'K' great numbers of columns of reading mat
'r telling the voters of Oregon that Senator
Uc.iiiIh rlain and the oilier Democratic Cancii
'lates should be elected as a mark of conli
''l'nce in and endorsement of President Wil
It is cited that the President needs their
spprt in bis peace policy and his other great
uliicveincnts and unless these Democratic
f'Hididates are elected it will mean that the
""lininistration of the nrescnt Democratic
j ''resident will be greatly hindered.
I tins is the nrineinle reason for the election
f Senator Chamberlain and the Democratic
'aiididalcs for Congress and the Democratic
'''"I'lidale for Governor, these gentlemen will
l;u'l a great many votes of being elected. V
t;' as the peace nolicv of President Wilson is
luiteeined, nearly every man, woman and
''''hi approves it, whether Republican, Demo
cratic, Progressive or Socialist.
if R. A. P.ooth is elected Senator it is cer
,a;" that he also wilt use his efforts in main
tainiiijr peace with the other nations of the
w;'i"ld, just as much as does Senator Chamber
la'. The question of endorsement of the peace
lil.li.'i. ,.l I. M ... i,...
' 1 '"'"em nson does not enter the
campaign at all.. It has no place in the issues
'f the campaign. It is not a campaign issue
It is not a partisan issue. It is a national c.ucs
tion concurred in by a great majority of the
people regardless of party and be will be
l-acked up just as strongly and earnestly by
J r booth, Mr. Hawley, Mr. McArthur and
Mr. S.nnott as he would by Senator Chamber
him, Mr. 1 lobster, Mr. Hegel or the Demo
crat who is opposing Kick S.nnott in the
second district.
Rut when it comes to an endorsement of the
Democratic policies of the President as a rea
son for the election of Democrats it is pre
suming too much on.the present state of mind
of the people of this state to ask it or expect
it.
When it is considered that there are thous
ands and thousands of men out of employment
now who had steady jobs at good pay under
the former Republican administrations; when
it is considered that it has become necessary
to levy a war tax on various articles and com
modities in. the I'nited States, when the Unit
ed States is in t at war, for the purpose of
making up for the falling off of receipts of
more than $2.lXJ0,XX) to the United States
Treasury in 10 months of free trade policy of
the Democrats; when it is considered that
nearly all I he products of our factories and
industries, as well as many of the products of
our lands, have received a body blow by the
free trade policy and that prices are so low
as a result, and that wages are proportionate
ly low, and all without the promised reduction
in the cost of living, it does not seem possible
that the people of this state are going to vote
an endorsement of those conditions. It would
certainly seem inory probable that the voters
would rather endorse the prosperous times
always found under a Republican Administra
tion than the present hard time under the
Democratic Administration. It would seem
more probable that the people of Oregon whe
are suffering from the present free trade poli
cy of the Democrat, would vote for Mr.
P.ooth, Mr. Hawley, Mr. McArthur and Mr.
Sinnott to go back to Washington and join in
with the other Republicans to put us back
under a policy of government which would re
sult in more work, better wages, greater pro
duction and go id times.
If Senator Chamberlain is relying on an en
dorsement of 1 lie free trade policies of the
Democrats to p it him back into office so that
he may continue his policy of passing laws
that puts lumber and wool and other of our
products on the free trade list with the conse
quent loss of jobs and higher cost of living, he
is driving his ducks to a poor market, in Ore
gon. ;,
Prior to the primary election last May it
was openly stated that in case Robert A.
1 Sooth should receive the nomination for Unit
ed Slates Senator on the Republican ticket his
record regarding his land transactions would
be exposed and in that exposure the people
would see that Mr. Booth was a man un
worthy of coulidence. Since he has received
the nomination and is making an aggressive
campaign, which is practically certain to land
him in the United States Senate, the peo;ie
have been anxiously awaiting the promised ex
posure. Jt has not come. The nearest expos
ure that has been made is the statement of
Governor West by innuendo anil no cli;.t
.charges have come forth. One paper in tho
stale, a Democratic paper by the way, as'.ui
Mr. liooh the question, "Where did you get
it?", referring to his timber lands." Mr. Booth
answered the question so satisfactorily and so
completely that his interrogatoi and the other
papers lighting him have been compelled o
take another tack.
The inevitable conclusion then must be that
Mr. Booth has obtained his holdings in an
honorable way and is not afraid to go before
the people and tell them just how if. happened.
If irwere not so, anti-Booth papers would be
filling their columns with charges of corrup
tion, dishonesty, etc.
This conclusion, which must be acived at
from the facts, is one of the greatest argu
ments in favor of Mr. Booth that con'. I be ad
vanced. It proves that he is a man to b trust
ed ; a man whose record is clear even though it
be assailed by innuendo and intimatto.i. It is
sufficient reason for every Republican to vote
for the candidate of the party.

WHY DESTROY the INDUSTRIAL
PROGRESS OF OREGON ?
That's what the so-called "Water Front" bills, Numbers
328 and 330 on the ballot, will do il passed at the Novem
ber election.
Why make it impossible to build saw mills or any other
industrial, labor-producing plants on the rivers and bays of
Oregon?
That's what the passage of these bills will do.
Why cripple the development of our great timber re
sources; why cripple all future manufacturing in Oregon?
That's what will take place if the people vote "yes"
on numbers 328 and 330.
Why lock up the thousands of acres of over-flow lands bordering
upon the navigable waters of the State and its miles of water front for
the benefit of "future generations;" why not let the present generation
have some of the benefit from the use of these lands?
Industries of all kinds will be driven from Oregon and intending
investors will turn their backs upon the State if these so-called ."Water
Front" bills become laws. That is why every man, woman and child in
Oregon will be adversely affected if these bills are passed by the peo
ple in November.
Oregon needs outside capital to develop its great natural resources
but we will drive it away if we pass Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot
at the November election.
If these so-called "Water Front bills are passed by the people, a
vast amount of property will be withdrawn from taxation in this State
and this great burden will be thrown upon the rest of the taxable prop
erty, resulting in a heavy increase in everybody's taxes.
These bills are vicious; they are'destructive of the very best inter
ests of the State; they ought never to become laws.
ine way to defeat them is to vote "NO" 329 and 331.
