OFFICIAL PAPER OF CROOK COUNTY.

THURSDAY, APRIL 21, UHM.
OKF FOR ELECTION.
With th clone of both the De
mocratic ami Republican conven
tions, tin two predominating part
ies have placed their candidates
in the field for the county office.
The voters later on will have the
opportunity to pick their men from
either party, not so much tor their
party affiliations as from the find
ing that worth and merit consti
tute the two cardinal principles
upon which county election
should lie based.
Crook county has seldom been
known to cast straight tickets
when it came to a choice of candi
dates to fill the county offices. The
rulo will in all probability hold
true this year and election day
find both Democrats and Republi
cans victors in the race for the
plums. A matter of strength with
a candidate, whichever party be
clings to, has generally been in the
past the open sesame t the office
ha wa9 seeking, and neither party
can say this year that this or that
ticket will be elected. For it wont.
The party in Crook county which
could elect every nominee on it:
ticket would be an ideal one in
deed, and in its ranks would be
found the strongest men froiuboth
sides of the political fence.
Nothing short of a fusion ticket
would accomplish an end of that
kind, and the result would likely be
highly satisfactory to as many Re
publicans as Democrats.
So the fact remains that in June
both Democrats and Republicans
will be counted in as the winners.
It is therefore not so much the
matter of party connections as the
choosing of the best men for their
respective offices. Able men, cap
able ones, are the only ones want
ed. And with every office filled
with one whose capabilities, integ
rity and business principles are
recognized and appreciated it
would be impossible for the county
to suffer from a stroke of bad gov
ernment. Good government and
progressive ways and means at
this time of the county's rapid
development are both essential
and paramount to all other phases :
of the matter. The men who stand i r i
I L J
for a future are the men wanted, 'ri
irrespective of their party.

The mauhine politicians don't j
like this primary law, but they
never have. They fought it from
the first and continue to sneer at
it. But it must be jinked bv its
rosults. Two vears ago it redeem-
the city council from the dutch
es of the- street railway company
and this year it has insured an
other honest assembly and has
given the oppjitunitv for a much
more satisfactory board of alder
men than the present one. No
special interest can manipulate
the people. The people may make
mistakes, but if they do they can
correct thein. I'nder the conven
tion system they were compelled
to choose whoever was offered to
thein, and even after his unfitness!
was shown a dangerous alderman I
or assemblvman was often thrust I
loivn the popular throat. Jf he!
was a good party man be could do i
what he pleased with the interests
of the public. If he "stood in"
with any special interest and had ;
access to its campaign fund it only i
made him a more desireabie ean-j
didate. The self constituted clique !

During the recent high water,
an enterprising ranchman up the
Ochoco conceived the idea of
placing a large rope first around ti
bunch of Willows then around
his body and then wading out in
the stream to placo brush in un
advantageous position to save the
batiks from being washed away.
The thought gave birth to im
mediate action and his life saving
apparatus was rigged up and he
braved the stream. But no sooner
had his feet touched the swift
waters than they were swept from
under him with the force of an in
fant tornado. After he had dangled
half in air, half in water for about
an hour some obliging neighbors
came to the rescue and pulled him
ashore somewhat the worse for his
unexpected bath.
