. TJXITED STATES SENATORSHIP.
Tne renubllcan candidate for United
States senator, Mr. H. M. 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

, 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. ,

At the Sherwood Theater.
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.
The Illustrated songs are new and
specially catchy. By tomorrow all the
boys In La Grande will be -whistling
"The Girl That Threw Me Down."
