The death of Governor Johnson of
M'nnesota at this date removes the
only hope that the democracy had at
this time of securing the presidency
in 1912. Johnson bad a hold on the
voters of this country that few men
had. His state was overwhelmingly
Republican, but he was elected and re
elected, each time with Increasing majorities.

One of the important days at the A-Y-P.,
when Union county Is expected
to make a good showing is Apple Day,
October 6. The state has been asked
to furnish 500 boxes of apples. Union
county's portion of this amount is 50
boxes. C. H. Conkey is collecting and
arranging the apples for shipment.
They will be sent to Mr. William Hall
at the Oregon building on the 26th.
The plan for the state's apple ex
hibit In the Oregon building is an
attractive one. A pyramid 75 feet high
will be completely covered with ap
ples and many plate3 will be used
as additional decorations for the pyra
mid. Mr. Hall writes that interest is
in the Increase and that Union coun
ty is making a good showing. The
apples in this valley are especially
good for exhibition purposes this year
as the yield is light and the quality
good.
