DEADLY WORK OF FACTIONS
The Republican party iu
many states the same as in Ore
gon, is rent with warring fac
tions, or rather miserable squab
bles over federal offices. It is
only a question oi time when
the party must go down in ig
nomineous " defeat because of
these petty strifes, H they con
tinue. That time has not yet
arrived but unless there is a
change for the better, it will
come. . There are a great many
thoughtful ' ' members' "of the
party who think- the day of
humiliation cannot be postponed
beyond 1908.
' The momentum which its
grand historic achievements
have given the Republican party
and the demonstrated wisdom of
its economic policies will safely
carry it through the approach
ing Presidential election, with
Roosevolt as the standard bear
er; but by the time 1908 arrives
the deadly work of the , factions
will have done its job and the
people will turn in disgust from
a party that elects United States
Senators for the sole purpose of
acting as office brokers and
members of Congress whose
only ambition is to reward their
political friends with federal
offices.
