We have no ob jection to a “dry” Governor, in fact we think it is incumbent upon the people of this state as perhaps upon very few other states to see that our State Government is headed by a man who is earnestly and honestly in sympathy not only with a Bone Dry State, but a Bone Dry Na tion—especially at this time of unparalleled national stress and need for efficiency and economy. We have, however, some respect for the laws of the state and w’ould not consider committing perjury, even though temporary Republican Candidate gain might perhaps be recorded.

The condition arises through the domination of one political party to such an extent that in Mult nomah County, for instance, se lection of representatives^ to the Legislature at the Republican Primaries is equivalent to elec tion, and no other candidates have even a ghost of a show. This matter must be remedied, the situation is getting intoler able. S?me system of propor tional representation must be found, and there is no reason why the Secret Australian Bal lot System should not be applied to the Primary election equally with the General election.

Every single living human being in thia republic, from ocean to ocean, should make It bla or her special purpose to save food." These are the w 'rds of E. F.

The Food Administration is not asking you to eat less; it only urges that you substitute one nutri tious food for another equally nutri tious food, thus saving the vital sta ples needed by our armies and the armies and peoples of the allies. We must, duriug the next three months, save wheat especially. Our surplus has already been shipped abroad, and a hundred million bushels more are needed. When you eat a slice of bread less, omit the crackers with your soup, or otherwise conserve on wheat prod ucts. you are contributing towards the hundred million bushels needed over there by our fighting men and the exhausted people of Btigium.
