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.

1I KTV MKT I IODS
Parties interested in the election of A. N. 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

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.

Chamberlain should receive a majority

In some tespects the Chamberlain ad
ministration resembles the Christian
religion. There is pardon for the vilest
sinner and, he dees not even need to re
pent. All that is necessary is for biji to
have a pull.
