O.Sam. Smith has made
a good officer and the voters
will show their appreciation
Monday by (riving him a
Urge majority.
JUNK ELECTION IMPORTANT
SAYS EAKKK.
If the electors o this state will
but appreciate the importance uf
the first gun to be fired off this
Presidential rear, and will avail
themselves of an opportunity to
show their appreciation of Presi
dent Roosevelt and his policies,
and their appreciation of the doc
trine of the Republican party of
this state as enunciated in the
platform adopted by the recent
state convention, they will see to
it that a full vote is polled on the
6th day of next month; in that
event, at least 100,000 votes will
lie cast, and the majority tor Judge
Moore, our nominee for supreme
Judge, will be at least 20 per cent
thereof; and the combined majori
ties of our Congressional nomine
will equal 20,000. All that is
necessary for the voters of the First
District to manifest their apprecia
tion of Hon. Binger Hermann's
services in Congress is for them to
go to the polls and vote; and tlte
tame thing may be said of Hon.
J. N. Williamson, our nominee in
the Second District. After the
November election nobody East
will inquire bow Oregon went; but
should an unprecedently large Re
publican majority be cast at the
coming election, Republicans all
over the United States, particular
ly in doubtful states, will empha
liie the question, "Have you heard
from Oregon?" In 1SSS Mr. Her
uiaua received a majority of 7407,
the largest majority ever received
up to that time, there being but
one Congressman then.. Le.t the
voters of bis district see to it ihat
uo ia elected Ben Sane' by a larger
majority than be carried the- state
that memorable election.

JUIHiE LAYCOCK ENDORSED,
Prineville, Oregon, June 1, 1W4,
To the Republican Voters of
Crook Count v:
An issue has been inaugurated
for purely campaign purposes
making the County Division ques
tion the one vital point in the
election of a State Senator from
our district next Monday. While
the position is well taken, and ap
peals strongly to every voter in
Crook county, it is misleading
as it throws Hon. J. A. Laycock,
the Republican nominee in a
wrong light, the natural inference
arising from the inauguration of
such an issue being that Judge
Laycock favors the division of our
county. Such is not the case.
Instead, he is unalterably opposed
to it, and has pledged among his
efforts for his constituents, a stren
uous fight will be accorded any
measure that may arise during his
term as state senator, if elected,
looking towards the division of
Crook county.
His election wriich is assured,
will p!d. him in the RppuUlicnu
ranks in the -coming legislature,
which means that be will he, on
the tide of the working majority.
Can the voters uf Crook county be
led into laying aside party affilia
tions for a deceptive issue that is
Crook County Socialist Tkket.

J. B. McDowki.l, Haystack.

whom you can vote for and have
no fear that you will ever regret
voting for him. That man is J.
B, McDowell of Haystack. Did it
ever occur to you as strange bow
lawyers, eminent in their profes
sions, could afford to almndoil ft
large portion of their practice and
accept alt office, the salary oj
which is little above sheepherdor's
wages? By doing so they at least
lay themselves open to suspicion
that they exiled to recoup their
lost prsetiees in 'Take oft's" il
contracts to be let. Suspicion :
baa been aroused in the past and
to avoid such suspicions in the
future wo bad hotter leave the
lawyers to their practice and elect
a man to the judgeship who knows
not the technicalities of the law

till the honorable position of Coun
ty Judge.
I submit what my friends have
to say, is folllows:
"I have investigated the matter
of charges against V. A. Bell when
acting as U. S. Commissioner, and
have seen Attorney John H. Hall
in person and he ssys there is no
charges against him and none
have been made whatever."
John Courts.
''Divide up, you are in favor of
dividing up everything." Where
did you get that idea of socialism?
Where and by whom was this idea
originated? It originated in the
fertile brain of some enemy of the
wealth producers of the world, the
productive laborers. For be it
known that this "dividing up"
process is the sole cause of the rise
of socialism, the productive labor
ers have been forced to "divide up"
with the capitalists, giving the
capitalist eight tenths of all the
wealth they have produced, while
the laborers had to live, or die, on
two tenths of what they produced.
That is the kind of "dividing up"
that has been going on under the
present capitalistic system of wage
slavery, since the deluge of the
Noahic period, to the present time.
That U the kind of "dividing'
up" we object to and oppose, and
we propose to oppose it until there
shall be no paper-collared, plug
hatted drom putting on snobbish
airs at our expense and crowding
us off the sidewalk.
There is an "impending crisis"
between capital and labor; one or
the other is destined to control the
other; the laboring class will eithei
control the enlightened world, or
they will be reduced to non-voting
slaves. Which shall it be? You

who have nothing to sav as to
what you get for your products,
nor what you pay for what )ou

Do you want the present system
to maintain and bequeath it to
your children? This unjust

Charles B. Dinwiddie, the Demo
cratic candidate for County School
Superintendent, has been a rest
dent of Crook county since 1S'.i7,
and during that time has taught
successfully for a period of till
mouths. At the recent examina
tion held in this cily for teachers
Mr. Dinwiddie received a state cer
tificate which requires the appli
cant to pass in eighteen branches
of studies. Prior lo coiuint;. to
Crook county the Democratic can
didate was a successful teacher in
the schools in Barton county, Kan
sas, and Line county in this state.
In both places he was classed with
the liest and baa maintained 'that
record In this county. Mr. Din
widdie has fought his own way in
the world, educated himself, and
during the summer months has
always found employment to earn
money to better tit himself for the!
positions he ha fought. As a can
didate fur County School Superin
tendent, up better qualified man
has been put liefore the voters.
