Mr. Patton will be elected to the leg

anti-Htatcmcnt No. 1 fellows and the
“Republican only” dodgers may get
the support of tbe ringsters, but when

SOURCE o r OPPOSITION.
Most of the opposition to the pri

from the political hos»-s and the hack

of getting * nomination gone through
the primary election. The man be
hind the ballot, generally speaking, of
all political parties, is heartily in fa

ravings of the political vampires who
are seeking to overthrow it will have
no effect on tlie.n. The people of Or

own laws and nominnle their candi

wise political bosses and the little
tack-head heelers who work for them,
