WELCOME. JAY, WELCOME.
Today La Grande greets Jay Bower,
man, the next governor of the Btate.
Yes, we made no mistake In that as
sertion. It Is In the air for Jay to win
this fight and the only thing to guess
'upon now Is his majority. But there
Is reason for winning It.
Here It Is: A
For several years there has been
the cry of economy In public state ad
ministration, yet each year taxes
hare Increased at enormous rates.
of politicians that they would cut
down the expense have awoke to find
that instead' of using the pruning
knife more offices have been created
and new boards born that took salar
ies from the people's money. As usual,
the politicians could not feel the peo
ple all the time. This year when Jay
Bowerman entered the race for gov
ernor the good, hard-thinking citi
zens of Oregon turned the matter
carefully over in their minds remem
bering what the alleged "people's
friends'1 had done and they came to
this conclusion. Bowermi) is a young
man whoBe future is before him. He
comes from a remote county and a re
mote town. Ills record is an honest
one and he has the right breeding to
remain honest. That he has courage
all agreed from tbe stand he has tak
en in several matters of state Import
ance, and those hard-thlnklng taxpay
. era decided to give Bowerman a
' chance. ' - : - V , ' :
They nominated him In the face of
a strong opposition made stronger by
a dislike for 'the assembly and his
majority was about 3,000 in the pri
maries. Is that faith In Bowerman
going to falter at the polls?
No, those same people are going to
elect Bowerman only they will be re-
inforced by many others who see
things In the right way by this time.
He will have the support of the Dlm
.mlck men and he is proud of that
fact, for had Grant Dimmlck been
named for governor there Is not a man
who supported Bowerman that would
not have laid oft his coat and helped
Dimmlck win at the polls. '
So, today La Grande welcomes
with Grande Ronde hospitality the
man who Is to make good; the man
ii'ho Is promising nothing but clean,
honorable methods and to run the
state's business with as little expense
as possible; the man who will break
flown the Salem graft In purchasing
supplies for state Institutions; the
man who will treat everyone on the
square and play no favorites; the
man who is from Eastern Oregon

j where the hunch grows.
Now, all together, let us sing the
' . 1 1 :
song of success ana ciean pomit ioi
the man who believes In honesty In
public office above everything else
in this world:
"B-o-w-e-r-m-a-n spells BoweYman:
He's the man for the place and He's
sure to win the race,
Bowerman, that's Jay."
LOVE FOR HORSES IS LASTING.
We may talk of the" high priced au
tos and get excited at the "honk,
honk" of the horn, but there Is an
inward love for the horse that time
will never erase. This was demon
strated at the parade yesterday. Many
horses were admired, but when Dr. W.
T, Phy's high school horse. "Starlight
King," passed the crowd the applause
was loud.' And when our old friend
Joe Wood passed the throng with, bis
three horse tandem more applause
could be heard. The three horse tan
dem team is owned by Duncan Mc
Donald who delights in raising good
horse flesh. When Joe Wood asked
to drive the three well bred animals
tandem-style . he was told that they
were green at such work to which
Joe replied, "don't make any differ
ence, they've got good sense!" And
that told the story. The three horses
were immediately hitched up and Joe
grabbed the reins as he used to when
he drove stage. The rest waB easy. It
that th hnrnen enlnverl the
exhibition, Just as Starlight King de
lights in performing his many grace
ful acts for his owner.
The picture of satisfaction on Joe
Wood's face when he would turn those
three horses in a ten foot space was
worth seeing. It brought back the
story of his frontier life; of the daS
when he drove stage coach in Colorado
Wyoming, New Mexico and Oregon,
his last work In that line being done
for the M. & M. company on the stage
from Elgin to Joseph. He loves a good
horse, and bo does everyone else, and
the longer Joe lives the more he grows
to believe that next to man is the
horse.
The satisfaction of raising good hor-
B6B Is great ana Duncan jicuuuiu
belongs to the class of ranchers who
raise the best. At the fair that closes
today there' was exhibited positively
the finest breeding animals In the
country. Already this desire on the
part of ranchers to Improve their
stock is plainly showing in the young
er stock and within another three
years it will be hard to find a mongrel
colt in' the entire Union county.
THE RECORDER'S GROUCH.
The Elgin Recorder has its usual
criticisms to offer regarding the Un
ion county fair management and other
hinirB Thflre annarentlv never was
an event nor a time when the Recor
der was satisfied. It always sees cal
amity in the air and whines and
whimpers without cause. La Grande
did everything possible to make the
fair a success and It was a success
the greatest ever known in tne nis-
tory of the valley. But the Recorder
Imagines things should have been
done differently. As a final grouch It
takes the people of Pumpkin Ridge to
task for placing their exhibits in the
SummervUle division at the fair. Now,
hot la ft mnttetr of no concern to
La Grande, only that this city 1b de
lighted to have the exhibit and Is per
fectly willing that the people who
produce them should place them un-

ville people have no hesitancy in stat
ing that Pumpkin Ridge is in their
district, that they neighbor back and
forth and have many things in com
mon. If Elgin people would but teach
the Recorder how to look pleasant and
get in the great game of building up
this valley rather than continually
putting it up that Elgin people are
dissatisfied when they are not, they
would confer an act of kindness on
the entire community as well' as be
doing themselves a righteous act.
Charley Fisher, editor of the Eu
gene Guard, is about to. have a spasm
because Jay Bowerman stands ior
Statement No. 1 and all other meas
ures adopted by the people. It is an
old game with non-partisan editors
like Charley to start a scrap so that
democrat can fill tne office. By the
way ."non-partisan ' wnen properly
translated means democrat in this
glorious state of Oregon. Of course,
Bowerman is straight up for State
ment No. 1 and he Js for all the other
measures adopted by the people, tie
belfeves the people the the Jury to
decide these matters and if they draw
a bad law they will see it and repeal
it. Bowerman is the kind, of a friend
to the people who does not howl him
self hoarse on one point and then
pack the state with thousands of dol
lars of useless expense In order to
make offices for his friends. Watch
him and see If we are not telling the
truth, for Bowerman Is the same as
elected governor today. Bear that In
mind.
There is 'to be a high school fund
election In Union county this year
and It is important that everyone take
a deep interest In the matter. Do not
think that any one city or town is to
profit alone by the undertaking, for
any place having a high school shares
the benefits. This includes Union, El
gin, North Powder and La Grande. Itj
is a good thing. Anything In the way
of education is a good thing for what
you put in the child's head cannot be
taken from him. Union people ought
to realize this statement's import
ance and quit quarreling over their
school.
Ane of the reasons why prohibition
falls lies In the fact that a normal
American Is never a spy nor an In
former. To search a neighbor's house
or to divulge information as to his use
of liquor Is repugnant to the Amer
ican spirit. Even the most ardent pro
hibitionist bftlks at serving as a de
tective. Portland Oregonlan.
The statement that Bowerman Is a
railroad candidate is another demo
cratlc move. Some of the hardest
cases he has ever fought In the courts
have been against corporations. He
believes corporations have rights as
outlined by law, but when they step
over these rights he 1b In favor of
making them be good.
Union county Is putting on the fin
ishing touches to this fair In a way
that will long be remembered. Great
WEST; The
Is the county, great is the fair, and
greater still are the earnest, loyal
hardworking citizens who have la
bored day and night to make it the
glittering success it has been. '
How about sending that apple dis
play to Chicago? It is time that' a
trick or two was turned If the Grande
Ronde is to be represented.
