Once the Campiigti started it was speed lie seetl that the itbo;ind personal popjlarity of (iro.gj thd Governor not o almighty stout a it was ou Various thinj thai aome folk have known alout our chief eaecutive liave om 1 1 light, and a lot of folk are to day doubtful if George was such a whule of a man after all. The nearer Oregon makes it tinutii wous for Cake the better for Oregon There are a fear platvs wheie party poll tics still count; they don't usually in city, county and district affairs; but they do ill national affairs, especially in the upper home of Congress, where the majority party gets what it wants and the minority aita tight and waits. Or egon wants a lot of thihgs from Congress ; it can never get them throngh a demo cratic senator. Between the'men personally the issue is not drawn ; it is not a personal cam paign; if it was Mr. Cuke would not be on Ihedcfeiisive. It is also remembered that Cake was oue of tlie Republican who had the nerve to stand on a Statement No. 1 platform when it looked as though that meant defeat; he stood for the popular election of the United States Senator whether it profited him or not;' Cham berlain stood for it because it was tin sole chance of ever landing the place. The vast difference between being good because you hope it will pay, and because it is right, represents the dif ference between the stand of Mr. Cham berlain and Mr. Cake.

Hamilton to the oflice of Railroad Commissioner have this week ent out to the voters of the Second District circulars anonymously at tacking the character of Clyde H. Aitchison, the Republican nominee. Anyone who makes an anonymous attack upon the character of another is presumably a liar, and it takes a large amount of evidence to overcome this presumption. It is especially cowardly fot Hamilton or his tricuds to refer to the fact that C. B. A.tchison's brother was one of the ofttmls of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company. The statement that Clyde H. Aitchison "was the legal adviser tor the title Guarantee and Trust Company" is also a lie in that it is au attempt to deceive, as it docs not state that Mr. Aitchison has not been the legal adviser of that compauy for several years, i he statement tnat Mate treasurer mcci appoint cu Mr. Aitchison Mate Railroad commissioner s another lie, because it takes a majority of the State Board to appoint, and Governor Chamberlain and Secretary Benson had just as much say m the matter as Mr. hteel. voters in Colum bia County should remember that Mr. Aitchison's record has been so good that it earned him the solid support ot the I tt tit ber manufacturers, who arc more interested than any others in securiug fair treatment from the railroad corporations. A SWEDISH HUMORIST FAIR EXHIBIT. It is to be hoped that the farmers of Columbia County will do all in their power to assist Mr. W. J. Fullerton in his eflorta to make a creditable showing at the State Fair this fall. There is no earthly reason why Columbia County should take a back seat for any county in the state unless it is the indifference of the people to its welfare. If we want people to come here and settle op our vacant land we most show the good. Mr. Fullerton it a hardworking and conscientious official, and with proper assistance can be depended uiwri to worthily represent the county. Conic through, Gentlemen, Come through.

Mr. Chamberlain is willing Oregon should have a Republican Governor pro vided he can step from the executive office at Salem to the United State Sen ate at Washinghon. At one time he insisted that the prosperity of Oregon depended on a Democratic Governor as a member of the State Board. A fat lot our George cares for hi party. His lithos do not even state that he is a Democrat and he has not dared to tell his audiences how he Htnnd on party principles. In Oregon the party is George and Georue the party. If you vote for Chsmb rlnln don't for get to vote for Bryan in November. To vote for one and not the othej would be the eatreme of inconsistency.
