f The La Grande correspondent of
-the Oregon Daily Journal
practically all " of the farmers of
TJnlon, county are for Chamberlain,
says the Pendleton Eat Oregonlan.
Union county is a strongly republican
county and gave H. M. Cake a hand
some majority in the" primaries and
will give him like support In the gen
eral election.. The correspondent per
haps talked with ;one ' enthusiastic
Chamberlain man and was so' filled
with his eloquence that he Imagined
that the entire county l for Chamber
lain. There Is no reason for a solitary
republican voting for Governor Cham-1 Due to
berlaln.
. The East Oregonlan Is right. The
correspondent was undoubtedly in er
Tor, as Chamberlain boomers thorn
selves have given up hops of carrying
this portion of the state, and are look
big to Multnomah county to tip the
scales. Let it be reiterated, "There Is
no reason why a strongly republican
county should glvs a majority of Its
s votes to a democratic candidate for
' the United States senate."
.
weiore the railway commission of
Washington the other day, a witness
a prominent wheat grower of thnt
-state, testified that It costs (14.91 per
acre to raise wheat on summer fnl
low. Interest on land and other i
pens items brings the total to 64 centj
per Dushel. No wonder farmers wca
" -iimy smiie wnen wheat drops to
figures close to that mark.
