Ho a the only candidate i'roui l'ortland rumniig and is justly entitled to a big vote Iroui that city.

With a largo vote from Tillamook and Clatsop, a birf vote from Uaker, Malheur, liar ncy and Urant counties, a ulroug vote through all the Eastern Oregon section, and a pretty good vote iu Lane and Linn counties, the Monitor believes JMoser stands the best chance of any candidate to win the iiomiu atiou. lius Moaer has many friends in l'olk county and will get a large vote Lore aud 1 be lieve he will stand pretty close if not at the head of the list intha county. He is not figuring ou liis big vote from the center of the Willamette valley, but lie will get a good vole there, moru than was figured a month ago. Tho Closer stock is at a premium and by most of those wiio have watch I'd the political game cloudy ho is classed as the moat likely can didate to win. George W.

Regarding the losses sustained by the German in the bat tle in I'icardy an official dlapatch from France said: "Although as yet our Information is very incomplete, it is certain that the German Iobhps in the battle of the Bomme have been enormous. Pris oners who were questioned reported, for examulo. that the 88th division of Infantry was almost completely anni hilated and that the 206th division auf- fered heavily. The losses are chiefly due to the machine guns, which, in stalled with determined men In shell boles, mow down to the very last ths dense enemy formations. "The bodies of both friends and en emies are stripped as soon as possible by the Germans and left entirely nude. The booty thus obtained by seizing the equipment and clothing is collected and sent to the rear, so great is the scarcity of clothing and leather. "The prisoners when questioned do not conceal their amazement at ths Tsry small number of English and French dead which they passed in the course of their process. Finally they admit the great surprise of their com mand in the resistance of the allied troops. They had In fact promised them that all would be oter In a few days."
