This 1 considered one ' of th most 'difficult rnmnalraW i4r "' held in the county to forecast There ' may be not a few surprises. Political 'leaders who generally can' see which '.way the political straws are drifting, Are apparently at sea. It will be an asy matter to say after the votes are counted, "I told you so," but there are very few who are making' forecasts with any degree . of . assurance. The valley vote Is the unknown quantity, The farmers have all been busy' put ting In their crops and have been talk Ing very little polite and are extreme ly cautloua In expressing; their prefer , ences. Early In the campaign state ' ment No. 1 started out to become quite an Issue, but good Judgment prevailed and all of the candidates came out In favor of It and since then the cam ; palgn has dragged along In a kind of listless way, as far as enthusiasm is concerned. ,, There is no question but what the great majority of the voters have fixed In ihelr mlhda whom' they . are going to vote fortbut as In most of ; the Instances there are good men; run sing for office, and . they can ' vote for only one, so they are simply keep. Ing quiet, and there will be few scoops until after the votes are counted. , This Is La Grande's year to celebrate the Fourth of July and It Is the Inten tlon of the business men to take ad . vantage of the opportunity to celebrate ; In a style which will cause the rest of astern Oregon to "set up and take notice." In years pairt La Grande has celebrated the nation's natal day in fitting style, but thl year plans will ba made to eclipse all former efforts. All the towns in . the valley will be asked to participate and assist In making the 190S celebration a truly grand affair, and one which will estab llsh a record for future efforts. La Orande la going to celebrate. Remember the voting hours at the primary election are from 12 o'clock until 7 In the evening. Be a cltisen. Attend the primaries tomorrow.
