Mist is published the voters of the United States will have said who shall control the affairs of the Government for the next four years. Whether it shall be the democratic policy of free trade or the Republican policy ot probrtion. So far as the I'ro jrressive party is concerned it has already been defeated; that is the so-called Progressive party led by Mr. Roosevelt. It has been conceded by all parties that there is no chance for Roosevelt to be elected, unless there should happen to be a landslide, and there is no possible chance for that. So the real issue is wheth er or not the Democratic party 'ed by Wilson shall be placed in power or the Republican party led y Taft shall airain pilot the ship of state for another four years of prosperity. That is the only issue in this campaign. All the talk of Progressive policies is fr the purpose of catching votes, for every man running is pro Kressive so far as his idea of Progress goes. For the great body of Republicans who are satisfied with the most prosper ous times in the history of the nation, with all departments of Kovornment running smoothly and legislation being enacted for the benefit of the entire people. Mr. Taft represents greater Pro gressive policies than does either of the other two men who are claiming to be the real ProgresB- jives. This is a time for reflect ion on the part of every voter. Call to your side the ever faith ful wife who goes with you through adversity and prosper ity; consult with her as to your needs. Call to mind the many blessings that you and you re have enjoyed under Republican prosperity; note the many im provements made by you in your farm or home; count up the wag es you have received under the protective policy of the Republi cans and then ask yourself whether or not you will take a chance on a change to a policy that cannot help but bring on a depression. There can be no de nying the fact that a change such as is proposed by the Democratic party will bring on hard times, even if their policy is correct. There can be no such radical change in the policy f govern ment as is proposed without a resulting change in the policy of the business interests of the country. Money will bo called in and it will be hard to get hold of until conditions have adjusted themselves to the new condition. Of course the Republicans do not believe that Freo Trade will re duce the cost of living nor raise the wages, but on the contrary do believe that it will at let.st re duce the wages of the working man and make business condi tions in all lines dull and stag nant. That is the whole ques tion. You fellows who are tying your hope to the Roosevelt party, not one of you will My that you have a chance of electing your man and you every one will ad mit that the chances are very largely in favor of Wilson being elected with . your man in the field, so it behooves each and every one of you who are sincere in your ideas of Protection, to cast asido your personal feelings of high regard and respect for Mr. Roosevelt and vote to give yourselves the chance to make a good living and have good times by continuing in power the Grand Party. This can only be done by casting your ballot on next Tues day for William Howard Taft. On an extra page r the Mist this wick n; -pears 'he I'.H1 w hich the voters will have to vote j next Tuesday. It is some ballot I too. It contains the names of all j candidates on each ticket and al- j I so some 37 measures to be decid-: led by the people. The majority I of the measures are like Greek or China to a great many voters and reference to the voters ,' pamphlet should be resorted to before casting a vote on them. There are a few however which need no investigation, such as 'the woman still rage question and the abolishment of capital pun jishment. There is one referen dum measure which should by all means receive the careful con sideration of the voter, the one 1 numbered 311 and 31.) which pro j vides for enlarging the authority 'of the Railroad Commission so as ' to include all public utilities, such ! as street railways, telegraph and I telephone companies and the like, i This bill was passed by the last, legislature and patterned after I i the famous LaFollette law of! Wisconsin, but a few of the Port hand politicians think that the state nt large does not need such regulation and that Portland is the only place in the state where such a iaw is needed. The peo ple are almost unanimous in their belief that the Railroad Commis sion ns at nrcsent constituted has i been a great benefit to the peo ple and has saved many thous ands of dollars to shippers. There can be no question about the tfli ctenv and eood work of the com mission. Rut these few job hunt-1 ers in the city of Portland think j they should have a special com-, mission to regulate liitir affairs: and get them some more good fat j positions and that the rest of the j state ihould do likewise if they j want any regulation of public) utilities. The measure should re-i ceive the undivided support of every man who believes that public utility corporations should be regulated in the state. o St. Helens Transfer Co. o Phone 15 General Transfer and Drnyage Dealers in Patronize the Mist Advertisers ZT.
