The campaign is practically closed.
Tomorrow at noon the battle of the
ballots' begins. . 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.
