Hecauiw Mr. Hawley did not have the ability he wrh not a leader among them but wa- content to be a follower to go where they . 1 I . . I I I might lead. The people ot the W lliameue vaney nave seen Mr. Hawley denounced by Senator LaFollofte, one ol the greatest of republicans, as a "me too" man; t iey liave seen Former IWident Koosevelt bolt the republican parts and rent it BHunder because of its apparent control by the element whom Mr. Hawley has voted with for seven years; they have seen President Wood row Wilson insisting upon and demanding certain legislation in the interest of tin common good with progressive republicans aiding him ami the opposition coming in almost every instance from the remnants of standpatism which iMr. Hawley has blindly followed. So the people of the Willamette valley are justified in wishing a change. Vhil' a good majority ot them an republicans and would rather have a man of their part, to represent them, unfortunately Mr. Hawley received their nomination- and rather than be further misrepresent ed, they have turned to the democratic candidate, Fred S. Hollister, who fortunately is a mar, of ability and influence; not a blind partisan but a man who will act and thin it for himself, always with the interests of the people of Oregon at heart.

While in yeiirH past both republican and democratic members have been able to ac complish a great deal though members of the minority, if Mr. Hawley has not the ability being frank enough to confess it, the people of this district are making no mistake in taking him out and electing in his place a man who politically is of the same faith as the administration. Judging from Mr. Hawley's record for neven years and Mr. Hollister' ability we would say that Mr. Hollister can ac complish more in seven months than Mr. Hawley has m eevmi years. ..i.-,.t.,r" hnruihv vice.

NO NEED TO WORRY On the ground that he did not wish anything of a per sonal nature in the voters' pamphlet, a cartoon submitted by Robert E. flmith, showing Uren in a three shell game, as a part of the argument against the 1 500 tax exempt ion measure, was refused by Secretary of State Hon W. Olcott. Mr. Olcott whs afraid that if a start were made in the direction of personalities it would mean the gradual degeneration of the voters' pamphlet into a joke. Nei item in Salem Statesman. Mr. Olcott need not worry. If he should issue the vot ers' pamphlet in the shape of a dunce cup, printed it motley colors, and with little tinkling bells suspended from each corner, it could not be more of a joke than it i now. He needn't lose eny s!e p over permitting a f v cartoons to appear in it. He might sen.! it out as a comic supplement, illustrated with drawings of the Katzenjam mer Kids, the Newly Wt da and Happy Hooligan, and itf dignity would not he materially lower d, for the voter.-' pamphlet is the great Oregon joke This pamphlet purports to be the official publication of the state, and the uninitiated voter is therefore led to con elude that tha statements ctntaiued in it have been sub jected to o flic in I scrutiny and found to he true Tliis i not the case, however. There is nothing oilieial about it except the name and the fact that it is ismiwl b the .-tate A.iyone who cares to pay the price is free to have rinied in it any fairy tab be chooses to concoct. In at least one instance it has contained open and barefaced misstate ment!! of fact a misstatement that if printed in a reputa bU tiewspapt r would have furnished grounds tor a libel Buit. Mr. Olcott may set his mind at rest. The voters' pam 'phlet is alieady a huj:e joke, but it i not easy to laugh at it because the cost of mailing it out takes away the humor. Eugene Ktgbter.

"Some time," he remarked to his wife, I'm going to tell that man what I think of him." One day he came home highly dissat isfied with himself. "1 saw John Rag land today, and I told biiii straight out what I thought of him," he said. "What did you say?" asked his wife. "1 told him I thought he was a very unreasonable man."
