Of course, Rockefeller wants Taft
elected. He dearly loves the present
administration, and then, you will re
member, Just prior to election he aN
ways comes right out In the open' and
tells whom he desires elected. Don't
you remember similar announcements
Just prior to the election of Standard
-Oil Bailey of Texas, and Standard Oil
Senator Dopew of New York? Of
course, he knows his public endorse-
v ment Just on the eve of elections so
wonderfully helped his candidate.
' 'Whatever Rock it Her wants, the great
ms of the people want. Now It, was
sa kind of Mr. Rockefeller to come
out so boldly for Mr. Taft at this
time. The Standard Oil company has
been plnylns successful politics-- toi
long to make any such mistake -a?
tt: is. " Anyone who knows enotish to
cast a vot knows that Rockefeller
" does not want me policies of the pivs
er.t administration continued. He
knows that Taft's election mrans tio
abatement or the big stick, and h
knows that his announcement that he
favors Taft will, injure him. This Is
hy he made the announcement. No
thinking man will be caught by any
such cunard.
The young people were much In ev
ldenoe Sunday night, but aside from
a few changed gates, rigs, a few tria
ble opened, little if any property was
destroyed. There were several social
events and many pleasant memories
will cling about Hallowe'en In La
Grande for 108. '
Those who failed to register will be
hunting for. friends tomorrow.
