Chairman Tooxe produced the cer
tified record from the Secretary of
State's office of the state of Oregon
which proves conclusively that Mr.
LaFollett not "only has violated his
solemn obligation but treats it sim
ply as a ‘scrap of paper'.”
I f the
spirit of the primary law is to be up
held and rigidly maintained by the
voters of Marion county Alex La-
Follett will receive no support from
Republicans, or from the Democratic
party on November 6, 1918.
Hon. Louis Lachniund. candidate
for senator, made a splendid and pa
triotic address, and Hon. Seymour
Jones spoke eloquently and forceful
ly along national lines, and Marion
county Republicans are unanimous
in the belief that he should win as
speaker of the house of representa
tives during the coming session of
the legislature.
Geo. W . Weeks, candidate for rep.
resentative, stands for united effort
and vigorous support of the Repub
lican organization and the ecouoml-
cal administration of county, state
and national government, which sen
timent was voiced by all candidates
present. E. P. Morcom. the Repub
lican stalwart of Woodburn. deliv
ered a fine address which breathed
loyalty and fidelity in every sentence.

E. Browne, editor SUverton Tribune;
Ben F. West, assessor, and State
Committeeman: Ronald O. Glover,
private secretary for Congressman
W C. Hawley, and Joseph J. Kéber,
banker o f Mt. Angel, made short
speeches, brimming over with patri
otic sentiment and all were vigorous
ly applauded.
All in all it was the most intensely
interesting meeting ever held by the
Marion County Republican Central
Committee and every representative
on the committee is out in the open
to support the Republican ticket from
top to bottom and bolters will get
short shrift and be helped down the

M cN A R Y AND WEST.
Oregon has expressed Itself at tbe
polls as being committed to the
"p olitic« adjourned" idea. It would
seem the wise and patriotic course to
pursue not to disturb existing politi
cal conditions at this time, either as
to parties or as to elected officials
who have fu lfilled
their patriotic
duty by firm ly supporting the vigor
ous conduct of the war.
We confess to an Intense admira
tion for our peppery ex-governor,
Oswald West. In spit« of his vindic
tiveness and the erratic quality of
his super-"pep.”
Yet we have no
confidence that in this war crisis be
would be an improvement over
Charles L. McNary as U. S. Senator,
especially as McNary has backed the
administration so loyally in war mat
ters. has procured so many definite
and tangible results for Oregon in
connection with shipbuilding and
grain and railroad administration,
and because of his quiet tact, his
abilities, his judgment and his indus
try has attained s*ch high standing
in the senate as to have exercised
considerable witolesome influence on
economic legislation.
The height o f a great war effort is
hardly the time to displace an ex
perienced. loyal and effective sena
tor fo r a lovable aspirant who has
ever been a delightfully disturbing
factor in public life. W e know what
Senator McNary has done in the sen
ate; no prophet, seer or seventh
daughter could forsee what Oswald
West might do. W eighing the per
sonalities and characteristics of the
two men. and yielding observance to
the "politics adjourned" idea, it
wonld seem unwise, perhaps hardly
patriotic, to take chances on displac
ing McNary by West.
W e aay this in spite of the fact
that we bitterly opposed Senator Me-
Nary’s nomination In what we felt
was a losing fight. Aa we predicted,
he was nominated by an overwhelm
ing majority. All indications are he
will b« elected by a similar heavy
majortty. For the sake of Oregon's
part in the vigorous and harmontous
prosecution of the war it is well that
he be retained at his post.— Oregnri
Voter.
SPECIAL PRI
MARY ELECTION
TO BE HELD
For the first time in the history o f
Stayton a primary election will be

Gebien. The time having passed for
the tiling o f additional petitions,
these candidates will no doubt con
stitute the next council and execu
tive officers of the town.
A ll these candidates are well
known. Grant Murphy, the candidate
for nomination to tbe office of may
or, has been a member o f the coun
cil for several years and a resident
of Stayton most of his life. He is
thoroughly posted on the affairs and
need^ of the town and ought to be
a good executive. J. B. Grier, the
candidate for recorder needs no in
ti oduction. He has been recorder of
the town of Stayton most of the time
since 1891. J. R. Oardner has been
s meikber of tbe council for some
time and w ill be valuable assistance
to the new members. W. F. Klecker
has in the past served as councilman
for the town with an excellent rec
ord for executive ability. Chas Geh-
len has been in the general mercan
tile business in Stayton for many
years and is known to be a conserv
ative business man. H. H. Thoma has
been prominently Identified with the
Brown-Petsel Lumber Company for
a number of years and baa been sec
retary of tbe Stayton Commercial
Club since its organisation about
seven years ago.
Mayor Beaucbatnp has declined to
be a candidate for re-election. At tbe
