Coroner Rainier DEMOCRATIC BOASTS Our Democratic brethren are having their usual pre-election good time, pre dicting uocM for their party In No vember, notwithstanding the great pros perity with which the country has been tileesed under Republican administra tion. They deny, of course, that Re publican policies have anything to do with national prosperity, though they are prompt to ascribe any temporary reverse, soch as last year's financial flurry, to the shortcoming of the ad ministration. Even in Oregon the brethren are hopelul and are cbtimng, since the visit of John Sharp' Williams, the Democratic floor leader in Congress that Oregon is to the doubtful column . How will their boasts be answered, especially in Columbia County, on elec tion day? There is no pretense now of non-partisanship. Having fooled we k kneed liepubl cans into placing a Dem ons! In the State House and his oppon ents in postioos of trnst and power throughout the State, they have called in their skirmish lines and are ready to make the assault in force. There is nothing in the past history of Democracy to commend it to the voters of Oregon, and the only hope that party has of success is in the forgetfuloess of the people. Mr. Bryan isrunnlng away from his past record and does not dare discuss the lisoe he poshed to the front in former campaigns. Every predict ion of disaster ha proven to be false, so he seeks for votes by advocating meat ure bis follewer in the South will utterly repudiate should a Democratic Congress be elected. The Southern States are the plagne spo'.s of the labor world and the home of child labor and the prison contract system, and the senator from those States wonld promptly suppress an at tempt on the part of a President to dic tate to them legislation oppoted by their constituents. No such legislation was enacted while the Democracy was In power, nor have any of the statutes in favor of the laboring men been pro posed by Democratic leaders. It Mr. I liompera succeeds in delivering the labor vote to Mr. Bryan he will find that he has played the part of Delilah and thorn 8ampson of his strength. Here, in Columbia County, however, t e only question is as to tha size of the Republican nisjorily Our Democratic brother) place it at 250. If their claim is correct Oregon's vote is certainly in uonbt. It remains for Republicans to show them their error. Labor from now to election day to see that every Republican vote in the county is cast. ami lommuia county will snow a ma- juorty for Talt of from 750 to 1,000. This is the banner Republican county of the State, and we should do our best lo keep it so on national issues.
