Tli Primary Election.
The primary election will be hold
on Friday, llw l!Mh, and thia will be
the last lasue of the Argus that many
of our i- i i will receive before
that date.
The primary In really of more Im
portance than the regular election,
In many respects, it is necessary to
nominate good people for tlio offices
In order to got good officers. The
voter who does not turn out and
make his selection of a candidate Is
not a good citizen, he fail- to do his
part In I Iping to Improve our con
ditions and In selecting the men who
are to conduct our business for us
during the coming two years.
We arc a f 11.000,000 corpol i. ... .
and are entitled to good county offi
cers. Kuril individual should exer
cise the same care in selecting offi
cers that Id- would In selecting peo
pie to ninnagn his own business. The
beat available candidates are none
too good, so be careful and select
only those with whom you would he
willing to trust your private nff.ilrs
Every republican voter of Mal
heur, Harney and Orant counties
should be sure to vote for J W Mc
culloch for I'uhlir Service Commis
sioner, as his election will mean
more to the district than any other
officer, because the position la a
larger one and of more importance
and because Mr. McCulloch Is by far
the best qualified for the position
of any of the aspirants. The retir
ing member Is an attorney, the only
one on the board, mauy of the ques
tlons to he decided require legal
knowledge and Mr McCulloch'a legal
experience specially fits him for the
place. If you do not voto for any
other officer ou the ticket, be sure
and give Mc a vote Mr Mcf'ollorh
la a loyul citizen and will see that
this district gets all that she is en
titled to.

The people of Wisconsin are get
ting over their emotional drunk and
recovering their senses. They de
feated Bob Lafollette In the primar
ies Wednesday twe to one.
If thin had happened In the old
fashioned convention, Dob would
have denounced the "ring" and the
"gang" and the "bosses' from every
Chatauqua platform In America, but
the primary was his own invention
and the "people have triumphed."
Speaking of .uKolleito, ho Is the
man who Invonted the commissions
with which Wisconsin and Oregon
are top-heavy. Wisconsin started
out to regulate everything from the
lie of the ash can to the proper
oarnlngs of a railroad company. As
a result. Wisconsin has one of I In
most expensive state governments In
the U. 8. Which Is why the people
rebelled last Wednesday. I orval-

Republican candidate for nomination
for county treasurer.
"fHHfeft jfltl By
Kerd Zules was quoted In the Ny
ssa Journal as stating that he would
conduct the office of assessor with
one less deputy, if elected. While
Mr HIM is at present devoting his
time to the getting of totes, he has
the same office force that he employs
regularly One might infer from
this that Mr Hill never doe any
work himself iu the assessor's office,
hut has the county pay deputies to
have it done. That might lie one ex
planation of the high cost of ruuiilug
the office.
I wish to thank my many friends
In the various precincts, fur the in
i hey have taken In my behalf,
and the splendid work done to se
cure my nomination, aud which work
1 nun feel has not beeu done in vain.
If nominated and elected I will give
the duties of the office my p irsonul

generously supported me shall never
regret their action on account of any I
