Cake, when defeated by a very small vote two years ago, campaigned this wholo state for his successful opponent to uphold the principles of the party. Those principles are at stake not the indi vidual candidate's interests. The question is: . What does the candidate" represent? Not who is he? There is no foundation for criticism of Mr, Cake. He Is one having friends, Is friendly, an experienced lawyer accus tomed to public work and In the prime of a clean life, and representing open 1y, frankly and honorably the princi ples of our party. On the other Mr. Chamberlain puses as the best friend of his people. In the reaj analysis he Is first, last and II the time a. democrat But wait! On his pictures, on his cards, In his literature, he Is afraid to use the name of the democratic party. In the prl mary election he would not even per mit his name on the ballot. What Is he? The candidate for United States senator must be something. The con elusion Is logical and Inevitable that ha Is urging the people of Oregon to send him to the United States senate while trying to hide his real political affiliations, He Is a democrat, but afraid o say so." Ho Is a Bryan wor shlper. The atmosphere of the United States senate Is republican. The vot ers of Oregon must not be fooled by his statements that In Washington he will not be obliged to be counted as a democrat. He sets forth In glittering terms that Oregon will not suffer by having him In the senate. Forget such nonsense. Men are human. . The sen ate it republican. There Is hot a proposition put forth by the Chamber lain advocates which can bear the light of day in a republican state. Elati where n this Issue appears the republican state Bad county ticket We , Invite our readers to look this ticket over from top to bottofft. We believo that we are safe in saying that never in the history o the repub lican party has I been aKo to offer a more worthy set of candidates than Is here offered. Every man la well worthy of the hearty 'support of every republican in the county and the ad ministration of such men is sure to be careful, business-like and strictly according to law. The candldau for county, ofricets are all well known men In Union county. All " are old time residents and nun who l.ave gained the confidence and rcspeft of all with whom they have come . In contact. Voters can mate no mistake In voting the ticket straight i" " - And now comes the Umatilla land frauds for Investigation Here I where John McCourt, Ufllted Stalen district attorney, will have his metal tried, 'says an eastern Oregon ex change. . Some of the men alleged i have been connected with these frauds are his friends and supporters. It takes true grit to stand by what Is right when one's friends are at stake, but the general opinion of John Mc Court is that he has that grit. ' It seehis rather queer that the same woman who gladly takes off.hsr hat t the Electric theater, never thinks about the A member behind her; at church. A sermon some time has a different effect when the minister's voice Is strained through a bale of HlfUW flowers, or a display of Stuffed birds. TH f P V la foiling In i small point In Its service to' Oregon. All passenger trains should be equip ped with observation cars' ao that travelers could get a complete view of the scenery along the Columbia. Why this has been overlooked Is more than we can see, considering the fact that McMurray Is such a friend and ad mlrerer of nature. Baker City Her ald. e e , The weather clerk can call a halt any old time on this falling weather. The farmers are all satisfied now with his rain producing efforts, and would be pleased to have a little warm weather. We know when we have had enough of a good thing. . .i ., Every voter should acquaint himself with the various proposed amend ments. It Is a duty which every voter owes to himself and to the state. There Is yet time and In order to be come an Intelligent voter, a little time and study is required. , -- GENERAL URIDGR REPAIRING. County Brldxi KiijiiTinK'mlcnt Has Much Repair Work In Hand. County Bridge Superintendent Campbell is watting anxiously for Im proved weather so that ho can attend to his duties throughout the county. Just prior to'lhe rainy season, he completed three bridges near Cove, making 18-foot bridges out of those already there. There are some near Island City which need repairs, and as soon as the roads are more passa ble, he and a member of the county court will visit many sections of the county to learn Just where bridge work Is most needed.

The Sherwood moving pictures wert exhibited last evening to three crowd ed houses. The pictures , as predict ed by Mr, Sherwood, pleached each and every person present. The feat ure number, "The Vestal," was an es pecially strong one, and many . re mained to see It the second time. Another number which excited much favorable comment was the number entitled "Shanghai." This set pic tured about all that could be seen Jn a crowded Chinese city, and at the same eliminated the smell. One spec tator remarked that he had experienc ed a view of a deodorized Chinatown.
