HOW ABOUT 3IILWAIKEE?
A socialist speaker last night on the
streets of La Grande denied the Ob
aerver's statement that any city which
had adopte i socialism had regretted
Its action' and offered this paper a ten. litical
dollar bill to cite one inntance. Vej majority. WhyT Because the .city as
do not want the orator's' ten dollar bill a whole was entirely unwilling to take
tut we respectfully call attention to a over what seems to be certain if so
many of the principles which the so-,-""
ciaUa's advocate. The task for the i
voter at the election is a simple one '
If not, you must vote lor the Independ
ent candidates, but If you want to put
La Grande under socialist rule vote
for Mr. Wines. The Observer con
tends that it will be a mistake to elect
a socialist ticket in this city. The ex
perience of other citeg verify this
claim, and La Grande should not stand
before the world an admitted socialist
community. The best interests of the
city and of every property owner de
mands that socialism be defeated on
Monday. You cannot afford to tread
this experimental ground. Not at this
time, at least.

HATE TOO THOUGHT IT OTEEI
On Monday there will be a city elec
tion in La Grande at which a muni
cipal administration will be chosen.
It happens this year that the social
ists as a political party met in conven
tion and nominated a ticket. Whiltf
we approve of this act of theirs In
meeting as a mass convention and
-making their nominations It Is con
trary to the Oregon system and Is
bound to be censured more or less by
those who believe thoroughly In the
system now in practice in this state.
' This ticket Is composed of socialists
men who will naturally follow close,
ly the teachings of that doctrine. The
Independent ticket is headed by W. J.
Church which ticket Is opposed to so
cialism as a party and Is opposed to
