Tomorrow the event comes off and candidates will be named for state and county offices. The importance of nomination of proper candidates is apparent to every good citizen, and the primary is the foundation of all government. It is therefore necessary for the right of suffrage to be used at. primaries as well as elections if the state and coun ty cz!i hi"? officials. This Is overlooked by a good many and then complaint is made if things do pot go to suit Under, the direct primary law reg istration Is necessary. All know how well this feature of the law has been carried out this year, and what effort It has been to get what registration that has been obtained. Yet if you would say to the unreg istered voter that he Is not a good citizen he would resent it The same man refused to attend mass primar ies In. old-time political days, yet he complained of machine rule. Had he attended the primaries and taken a hand In affairs he would have either annihilated the local political bosB, or deposed him and taken his sertt him self. That is human nature, and there is no use denying it. . ' But whether you are, registered or not, there is to be a primary election held in Union county tomorrow and candidates are going to be named for different Offleea from governor down the line. Those who favor party organiza tion and straightforward state gov ernment; those who believe in Judg ing things by results rather than as sertions; those wno believe in seeing economy in practice rather than in theory Jn Oregon, should vote for Jay Bowerman and the ticket named by the gathering of republicans in Port land last July. Those men are recom mended by 1200 reputable citizens of your state. Hofer is recommended to you for governor by himself. That Is the difference between organization and no organization. The polltlrnl ; money spent this year has been spent by those who claim to be anti-assembly, and for statement No. one, ctr. They have spent, the 'money not in buying votes, but in circulating liter ature. But the money has been spent Just the same. So do not get the idea that campaigns are run without expense, evea in this day of "let the people rule." Take your choice of the candidates tomorrow. Remember the Bowerman ticket nominated means a Btralght out republican line-up; no trading on can-j honest purposes. It is the fashion dldates; no dodging issues. That tlcK et offers you everything that is in rea son for economical and decent govern ment. " ' ROOSEVELT YS. LAFOLLETTE. .(Portland Oregonlan) "Will Oregon, the home of the in itlative, the referendum, and the re call, continue to allow itself to be mis represented in the House (Congress) as it has so emphatically declined to be in the Senate, my 'system' statesman of the caliber of Ellis and Hawley ?' This sounds like Tom Law- son; but it is not. It is the exordium of a formal attack on the two Oregon representatives by Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin. What LaFollette wns Oregon to do is to send men to Wash ington of the "caliber" of Bourne and Chamberlain. We think Oregon will do nothing of this kind; but we do not know. Oregon does queer things, as the election of Bourne and Chamber lain abundantly proves. The LaFollette Indictment against Hawley and Ellis is that they support ed throughout the "regular" House organization. They did; they also sup ported all the great Taft measures such as the postal savings bank, rail road control, publicity of election ex penses, ana trie line, mat maae. me Taft administration one of remark hU achievement. They, aided the Taft programme as they had conspicuously upheld the Roosevelt programme in the previous congress. . Ellis and Hawley do not suit La Follette, but they suited Roosevelt. It may help a little to reprint part of a formal statement Issued May 29, 1908, from the White House: "' The President (Roosevelt) today paid goodbye to the two Oregon Con pressmen, Messrs. Hawley and Ellis, r.nd stated publicly that he took the occasion to thank them for the atti tude they had consistently maintained In support of the Administration poli cies, and to wish them success in the election which is to take place on Monday next. The President stated that he wished publicly to express his appreciation of the cordial manner in which the pentlement had backed up the policies and the measures which the President felt were of such consequence for the welfare of the country, In connection for instance, with such, matters as the upbuilding of the navy, the upbuilding of merchant marine, the conservation of our natural resources, including both the reservation of the forests and the construction of the waterways; securing proper employers' liability legislation, both as regards interstate commerce and as regards the employ es of the government itself; securing child labor legislation and the effort to secure the proper administration by the courts of the power of injunc tion, and finally securing by the na tion of thoroughgoing and adequate control over the great interstate cor porations, a control which shall be both effective to prevent any wrong doing by them and at the same time of, such a character ts will permit the reward in ample fashion of all busi ness which Is so conducted as to be for and not against the public inter est The LaFollette method is to-assume that everything done in Con gress by any otherB than himself or his Immediate following was wrong, and that the men who did It were in spired hy unworthy motives and dis- nowadays, when in doubt, to- believe and assert that public men are crimin als and thieves. Doubtless Hawley pnd Ellis would .be in a bad way withsom,e people except for the ex plicit testimony oMhe ex-President in their behalf. . REFORM HITS SEATTLE.

Bay rum Is procured by distillation, and this in a very simple manner. The leaves are picked from the trees and 'then dried. In this state they are placed in the retort, which Is then fill ed with water, and the process of dis tillation is carried on. The vapor is then condensed in 'the usual way and forms what is known as "bay oil," a very small quantity of which la re quired for each puncheon of rum. Ho Citod tho Rivtr.
