THE GOOD OLD WAY
Helens, and I will do the rest
Take a pride in your county and
your neighborhood, and do your
share toward building them up.
It means better roads, better
schools, and a lower rate of tax
ation. .
E. H. Flagg.
At the close of the Republican
Assembly in Douglas County
Honorable Binger Hermann is
reported as having "congratula
ted the Assembly on getting
back into the 'good old way."
Binger Hermann is one of the
distinguished prodncts of the
"good old way." At present he
is under indictment for conspir
acy to defraud the Government
of the United States out of an
immense publid domaiu. He was
Commissioner of the General
Land Office at the time the frauds
were perpetrated, ar.d he owed
his appointment to that position
to the '"good old way" of doing
things. He was liberal with the
pork and looked after his friends,
and therefore many of them
Btill adhere to him, and probably.
if the "good old way" still pre
vailed, he could secure the Re
publican nomination for Con
gress. It is the same in other
States where the "good old way"
yet prevails, in Uhio the reg-
Hlars" won out against the in
surgents by the old method, and
now Ecss Cox, of Cincinnati,
kicks over the traces and tells
how he to betrayed by Senator
Burton. The statement, which
is made Kfore a notary public,
and witnessed by Joseph Garret
son, manaf ing editor of the Cin-
cinnati Times-Star relates that hwz0 fu Intle wiom of
uii u:e mgnt 01 duiy .7, ai ice
Crittauden Hotel in Coluicbu.
' A WORD OF WARNING
Columbia is the strongest Re
publican county in the State of
Oregon in proportion to its
population, yet it has been re
peatedly demonstrated that a
nomination on the Republican
ticket is not equivalent to election.
Theodore Roosevelt would receive
to-day, if there were a national
election, a majority of 1,000, out
of a total vote of twice that
number, yet the same voters
might defeat a Republican nom
ination for a county office if for
instance they believed the timber
speculators desired his presence
on the county board of equal
lzation. Party ties have gradually
loosened since the civil war, and
the man who has voted the
straight ticket for forty years is
looked upon as an antiquated ass
whose proper place is in the
home for aged imbeciles.
In Oregon the Republican party
is divided on a matter of principle,
and can never be re-united unti
the battle is fought to a finish
and either the reactionaries or the
progressives are firmly in the
saddle. The preservation of the
direct primary law and the
principle of election of United
States Senators by direct vote of
the people through the medium
of Statement No. 1, are the live
issues of this campaign.
lne Portland Assembly sug
gested the nomination by this
district of Mr. Clarke, a business
man, as joint senator for Clack
amas, Multnomah, and Columbia
County. Mr. Clarke is frank in
his opposition to Statement Nol,
and for that reason he must be
beaten at the primary election
Let the contest rest on that alone.
No doubt he is in other respects
a good citizen, for the shrewd
oldtimers who framed up the As
sembly job knew they must put
their best men to the front in
order to stand any show of suc
cess.
If we are to have any reform
m the Lnited States Senates
membership men who believe as
Mr. Clarke believes must not be
e!ec:ed to the Legislature. They
Cox, by atpointment, met Bur
ton in the letter's rooms and
promised verbally to divide ths
vote of the Cuyahoga Co'nty,,
deletion or Governor between
Judge Oren Britt Brown, Carrri
A. Thompson, and '. Warren G.
Harding. Cox says Burton
failed him by failing to deliver
votes for Lrown on the first bal
lot, and on the second throwing
the entire delegation to Nicholas
Longworth. whom Cox says Bur
ton had told him the night be
fore v,'a3 a "snob," who, if nom-
inated, would cost the Republi
cans 10,GC'i votes in Cuyahoga
County, in which Cleveland is
located.
Think of a system by which
one man controls the entire vote
of the cour.ty's delegation in the
convention, and uses his. power
just a? it has heretofore been
used in Oregon, to trade and
trafiic with. That is what is
meant by the Assembly or Con
vention system, and that is what
we v:ill return to in Oregon if
the A assembly candidates triumph.
WILL
YOU HELP?
Nothing htlps a county more
than thorough advertising of its
natural resources, and there is
no Letter advertising than an
act un! ahov. ing of our products,
such r.b I luve been employed to
make at the State Fair next
month. In addition to this, we
will have a fine exhibit, in the
Portland ChamlK?r of Commerce
and Ji'treral Fpace in the Great
Northern lUtilroad Company's
car, which ,ilHe seen by hun
dreds of .thousands of farmers
and business men throughout
the United Slates this fall. For
the exhibit at the State Fair the,
county pav-j mc$400. The other
two exhibits cost the county
notliir;;-. New, will you, Mr.
Fanner, ht lp me in this work?
I v.'iinii the best grains and
grassc, vegetables and fruits.
Send os bring them to me At St.
the jwple and the people should
have co faith in them. Mr. Clarke,
If electa.. wHl be one of the
strong pillars of the system that
has packed the United States
Senate with the agents of the
great corporate interests. In Ore
gon hi3 election will herald the
return to the old system, whereby
the business interests of the peo
ple were sacrificed to the political
interests of individuals.
Let the voters remember this
and vote with the full knowledge
of what they are doing. -
Better a Democrat who favors
Statement No. 1 than a Re
publican who is opposed to it, be
cause the Democrat if elected to
the State Senate would, two years
hence, vote for the people's
choice for United States Senator
while Mr. Clarke would vote
without any regard whatever
to the wishes of the people, pro
vided the caucus so decided.
(ADVANCEMENT!
Has at all times since going into
business here a few years ago
been the keynote of our business
policy. The addition being put
