In Munich there has been formed a municipal unemploy ment fund, under the management of a municipal committee, which is elect ed by the corporation, am! consists of 20 members, ten of whom belong to workmen’s associations. The fund contributes partly to the unemploy ment funds of the trade unions, and partly to non-organiz.ed laborers out of work, and who for some time have paid their weekly contributions to the municipal fund. Those unem ployed through strikes, lockouts, ill ness, or incapacity to work, are ex cluded from help, and, in order to obtain aid the applicant must have resided at least one year in Munich, and either he a native or have been naturalized.

Mr. J. R. Whitney, who is seeking re-nomination for the office of state printer at the hands of the Republi can voters of the State of Oregon, is following a precedent which has prevailed for many years, viz: that when one has performed his duties acceptably and creditably he is in variably given a second term. Mr. Whitney has certainly per formed the duties of his office in a careful, conscientious, and business like manner, employing only union printers, and paying more than the scale, besides voluntarily conceding eight hours as a day’s work, a mat ter that is of vital importance to or ganized labor. Mr. Whitney is a Ffe-long Republi can and edited the Albany Herald for nearly 20 years, a paper known throughout the state for its unswerv ing allegiance to the Republican party and the candidates nominated at their conventions. He is a native Oregonian, a graduate of the Univer sity of Oregon, and a practical union printer. Mr. Whitney is conducting a clean, straightforward campaign, and one that will not require any apologies after its conclusion. His friends are confident that he will be re-nominated without much opposition. SLOCUM FOR CORONER. DR.LM.DAVIS REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE REPRESENTATIVE THE CORONER SHOULD PHYSICIAN. BE A Why?

Portland Gas Company Born in Rhode Island 46 years ago, Judge Ryan came to Oregon in his 21st year and entered into the em- plpy of the Brownsville Woolen Mills Co. at its factory in Brownsville. The following year he went to Oregon City where he has since resided. He has been elected as Mayor, City Recorder, and School Director and Clerk of Ore gon City, and for the last seven years has been the County Judge of Clacka mas County, in which position he has proven himself to be an exceptionable business man, paying off an indebted ness of over $200,000, and at the same time constructing each year many miles of good, improved modern roads, and decreasing the tax levy each year. In an interview Judge Ryan says: “ Being neither president, cashier or stock holder in any bank or agent nor employee of any money loaning insti tution I pledge myself to use and guard the funds of the State in a strict conformity to the laws of the State and for the interests of all of the people and not discriminate in favor of any institution or person. As a man of the people, independent of any clique, faction or corporation, I request the support of all Republicans in securing this nomination, and if elected I promise to perform ever)’ duty required of the State Treasurer in an efficient and economical man ner.” Colonel Gantenbein is 41 years of age, and graduated at the head o f the Clas» of 1891 of the Law Department of the University of Oregon.
