Whoop it up tor .tiawlev and more and better campaign buttons. Aurora Observer. We are not so sure about that. When M. J. Kreutz, a prominent-Republican of Polk county, asked Mr. Hawley at the state fair for a couple ot I Hughes buttons for his little girls, Mr. Hawley told him that he had no buttons for children. Mr. Kreutz handed back the button he wore himself and pulled out a 'dollar which he offered to Mr. Hawley if our great (?) congressman was so poor that he could not afford to give campaign buttons to children.

ROBINSON CZCandldate for County Clerk The best way to do is to beat old Hawlej by voting for VVeatherford and then in two years beat the h out of Weatherford with a good Republican", says a prominent Republican, who does not wish his name used. We admit this would be a great deal better than to deprive the Pirst district of a suitable representative in con n-ess by keeping Mr. Hawley in the place for life fronted with the same clamor, it because the Republicans cannot agree upon a is almost a marvel that President , ' . r . . . . , , . . .

Sober men must have serious thoughts when they contemplate the possibilities that these open appeals for war may lead to. Portland Journal. f 1 i hi We see nothing particularly wrong in the Golden Special parading Oregon and telling our feminine voters how to vote. We ought to be willing to hear anybody's story .whether we be lieved it or not. While it cannot be doubted that the Golden Special made votes for Wilson instead of Hughes and Republicans regret its coming on that account, Democrats could have aided their t cause more uv trivintr it less attention. J KJ IT Phe voters just now are receiving considerable mail Irom Ben Olcott, secretary of state. If Ben can collect enough from candidates and political committees to pay expenses, no particular harm is done, but if it costs the dear people anything, it is a mighty poor investment. A pretty safe course to follow on constitutional amendments and referendums which deals with topics with which the average voter is not familiar, is to vote no. Monmouth Herald The honest way would be to vote neither yes nor no. It is well for every voter to ascertain what a candidate has done and it is as equally important to ascertain what a candidate has not done when ! he had the chance. COOK BY WIRE. IT'S A SNAP! Cook by wire! Nix on the fire! Fire went out of date, my dear, when Billy Sunday discovered water. What year do you think thi is 1900? How silly! Don't you know this is the age when a taxi is born every minute, ships at sea have arguments while three thousund miles apart and musical shows only carry three or four wardrobe trunks! Fancy! We're not cooking any longer with wood, ashes, dirty kitchens, coal, gi solir.e, Roman candles, matches, wood, smoke nor ranges whieh make yi u a hot as Helene, the Russian queen of 411 C. O. D. - Wood is now being used for cafe tables, coal is sold exclusively to Central Stations, gas has all it can do to take care of political speeches and gasoline is so expensive that only kings and waiters can afford to cook with it. Smoke, fumes, sooty pots and the other old-fashioned things have been laid on the shelf with bicycles, suspenders and Teddy Roosevelt. Why, woman,; this is 1916! Today electric range and aeroplane factories work three shiftsl Yesterday 90,000 hamleta were "killed" in a movie war! Real sharks ure pulling the resorters' legs at Atlantic City this year! This Is 1916! The electric range is fascinating, chummy, homey, Utopian and every other fancy adjective you can think of! It is guaranteed to re move work, wony and widowhood and make Monday morning seem like Saturday afternoon with birdies singing in the tree tops. Electric cooking is delicious, faltering, eugenic, god like, ferocious, ai.d ten times better than mother used to make. In fact, some women are so crazy about it that the Bale of canned sardines dropped from 18 to 18 ceits in one town in one week. Name on request? Lykelle! Order your electric range nowl It will put your favorite dream of heaven in the piker class! Don't worry about the price! Tapa will settle if you know how to work it! The scheme-not the range!
