POSI" In the primary campaign now draw ing to a close, It Is generally conceded that Union county's native son, Geo. T. Cochran, Is to be one of the principal factors when the last ballot la cast. Every circumstance In connection with his candidacy has an eloment of strength with It that augurs well for his success on April 19th. Young, ac tive, energetic, with a spotless' pri vate, political and official record, his candidacy for congress presents to the republicans of .the Eastern Oregon dls- trlct an opportunity to select a candi date combining In one man more ele ments of a genuine progressive and useful congressman than Is usually at their choice. " , In all practical senses, Cochran Is the only candidate from Union county, and, all parties are now agrapd that, despite the preachings of hostile trav eling emissaries throughout this por tion of the state, he is receiving the actve support of a large majority of slderable confidence. I have now w the republicans of his borne county .come convinced that Lowell has abso- r tt Working Capital ?f Oyer $215,000 CO Inspires Confidence in This Bank The stability oi luls lnj'.ltittlon, ,(.

Indeed, the only apparent weakness of his candi dacy heretofore has been the result of an upparent effort to produce in, hl3 home-county au impression that hU success throughout the district Is not within the range of probabilities This impression having died of its own ef fort, Georgs T. Cochran's strong posi tion In the congressional race becomos at once apparent here as well as else where. ' His success in fulfilling the every duty of the ' responsible position of superintendent of water division No. 2. to which he was elected by about 3,000 majority, Is telling strongly In his be half. In his professional activities, as well, bis record, absolutely devoid of any suggestion of questionable deal ing with court or client, is likewise a strong element In his favor. Compar ison with all other republican candi dates east of the Blue mountains only adds to his growing strength In this l.rge and Important territory. Nor Is the candidacy of Cochran lacking In support west of the Blue mountains. . At Pendleton, the only republican dally in Umatilla county, the Live Wire, Is aggressively support ing the Union county candidate, and at Stanfleld, In the lrrlgaton belt of Umatilla county, the Standard ha adopted the same policy. The only other avowedly republican paper In Umatilla county, the Pilot Rock Rec ord, seems to be maintaining a strict ly neutral attitude between Judge El lis and Mr. Cochran. Equally as sigr niflcant Is the fact that the Pendleton East Oregonlan (Independent-demo- cratc) which has Intermittently boost ed 'I?unk in Its news columns and rec ommended him to republicans In its ed Itorial columns, has entirely ceased to further stand sponsor for the speaker of the house who was strangely absent from the firing line when the battle tc end the state printer's "graft" was being fought out In such a manner that all members bad to go on record. The same Is true of the Canyon City Eagle, republican, which is now neu tral, but formerly actively supported Rusk. By reason of these and other im portant elements favorable toxt'ne anrrAM nf flnorze Cochran, his com manding' position in the contest can not be denied. Union county will do Its part and no one need be surprised to see the. Republicans "nominate him for representative In congress. . ''i, LOWEL WEN BACKING OUT. To show how the Lowell vote has come to the conclusion that Selling Is the only man who can beat Sena tor Bourne In this contest, the follow ing Is an jextract from a letter re cently received from W. G. Hare, a prominent attorney ' of Hlllsboro: 'Like a great many i others, I did not reply 'td your communication for the reason "that I believed its purpose was to 'inspire support. I did hot. however, censure you in this respect, and considered it exceedingly good politics, being both beneficial and clean. . ". 1 - "At the time mentioned, however, I had determined to support Judge Low ell,' of Pendleton," whom T have "per sonally met and In whose ability and integrity I have learned to have con- lately no chance for nomination, and that the fight Is. between Senator Bourne and yourself, '., "It has never been my policy to dic tate letters to candidates for state of-1 flee announcing my support, but, in asmuch as I am convinced that; Sena tor Bourne has misrepresented the state of Oregon altogether tod lbng. and that he stands In a class by him self within the state of Oregon as a political 'demagogue,' I feel constrain ed to assure, you of 'my heartfelt sup port. From my Investigation of your record, I trust that the state will be honorably and ably represented if you are elected. ' " V "Senator Bourne's ,-, positive ' state ment in the primary pamphlet that he would not make any campaign, aud that the people of Oregon were upon trial, following by his campaign lltor ture which has this day flooded our local mall, containing Kellehers let ter, Port of Bay Commission letter, to gether with pamphlet containing 101 reasons why Bourne should be nom inated, should be sufficient to cause any thinking citizen to Inquire Into the sincerity of the man - who now claims to be the author of certain reforms which his conduct of" ten years ago assisted In rendering nec essary." . " ':.':.''.'.:'" After these many years of dickering and planning and scheming there no longer seems to be any doubt but that a combination athletic and fair grounds field with race track facilities .for horses and automobile Is to bJ re alized In Its fullest extent. Hooray! "Do something for' the boys" Is the slogan of an organization formed last night. May Its success be Just what Is anticipated.
