The fight is over end votes at this late hour cannot bo changed. Every candidate, while doubtless having done his best, will think of many things" today that ha could do "if he only had the time." But it is a question whether any of them could have helped themselves more than they have. Most candi dates would act with great wisdom if they talked lesB, in fact too much talk is a defect in human nature, and especially of the candidate. ; There has been enough promises made in this campaign to pave every mile of highway in Oregon; enough promises to cut out all' salaries at the state .house except the official board and . the janitor. And when you stop to contemplate a primary election campaign did you ever figure the enormous amount of money expended? Not for corrupt methods, not for any other purpose " than to let the sovereign know that Bill Jones is a better man than Sam Brown, but the expenditure" is heavy just the same. ' ' .- . . -.- - - i If we are to carry the present day idea of direct politics to a final cli max why not do away with primaries and vote once in the fall. Let that vote be my mail. Then all the tumult of campaigns will be gone. People at their firesides can figure out who to vote for as their best judgment ' tells them and no excitement will follow.

JOHNS, candidate for Governor in the Republican primaries of May 15, has gained : ground so rapidly in the last few days of the cam paign that his nomination is now conceded. It is predicted by political wiseacres that he will , carry Portland and Multnomah County by a large ma jority. . . . ' . Mr. Johns is the originator of a platform, promising sharp reduction in taxes, a big cut in the expenses of state government, and the abolishing of all useless state boards and commissions, and this slogan has become the campaign cry of several other candidates. His straightforward talks to thousand of voters, his promises of economy and a business administration have won friends and votes for Mr. Johns at every stage of the campaign. Knowing his untarnished reputation for keeping his promises, clerks and employees of useless state boards and commissions are opposed to his nomin ation, because his platform means what it says and he stands on his platform.. ... Mr. Johns has made a Nclean campaign, free from mudslinging and incriminations. His forceful, convincing addresses at Republican rallies through out Multnomah county have been the chief drawing card of these meetings. '.'-. Republicans throughout Oregon concede that his nomination in May means a Republican victory in November. Paid Adv.
