Should Elect Selling A vital Issue Is involved in the election of United States Senator next Tuosdny. It is that of the preservation of the direct pri- mnry lnw. This is the real is- sue, and on it the voters should ... ...... o determine their vote for Sonntor. Senator Hourne was defeated for ronomination fairly and squarely in the primary election last April by Hen Selling. Three days following that election, Hourne telegraphed Selling, con gratulating him on his nomina tion and pledging his hearty sup- IorU Subsequently, Hourne! sought the indorsement and nom ination of the Progressive state convention. Again lie was re jected by an assembly of electors representing the sovereign peo ple. As a final resort Hourne caused petitions to be circulated nominating him as an iiulopenu eni candidate, mosi ot the Big- natures to his petitions were ob - tamed by professional petition uiiuumiuia wuu uiu pu.u jivu cents a name.

The issue is absolutely plain and cannot be misrepresented. A vote for Bourne is u vote for the repudiation of the direct pri mary law. A vote for Selling is a vote for the preservation of the direct primary law. Mr. Selling believes in the di rect nrimnry and all other laws that constitute the Oregon sys tern. Either as a member of the State Legislature or as n private citizen. Mr. Selling for 1G years labored for progressive legisla tion in this state. He assisted in the enactment oftho direct nrimnrv. initiative and refercn dum, recall and the Presidential preference primary law. He be ieves in them firmly. His rec ord as n true progressive and the friend of the common people has been consistent at nil times. His record is known to every voter in tho state and he is to be entmsted with tho rcsponsibih ties of tho more important office he now seeks. Helieving the high cost of living is due largely to tho tariff. Mr. Selling is plea sed, if clecied. to work for nn immedinto rovision of tho tariff downward. Ho promises to sec uro for Oregon its full sharo of appropriations for river nnd har bor improvements and other pub lic needs, together with the stato's long over-duo sharo of the Reclamation fund. Friends of the Oregon system owo it to themselves and the preservation of tho direct prima ry to vote for Ren Selling. A vote for his opponent, Bourne, is n vote in favor pf tho repudia tion of thnt lnw. Mr. Voter: Bear this in mind when you go to tho polls Tues day, November 5. A few. reasons why Ben Selling Bhould bo elected United States Senator: Ho believes in tho direct pri mary law. Is a staunch supporter of the Oregon system. Hus lived in Oregon for 50 years and is intimately acquaint ed with the needs of the state. Is pledged to an immediato re vision of the tariff downward. Stands for the common people as against the Standard Oil and other corporate interests. Is pledged to secure for Ore gon several millions of its long overdue share of the Reclamation fund. Some of the many reasons that Senator Bourne should not bo re elected: He has repudiated the direct primary law. Is a bolting independent can didate. Is not a bona fide resident of REMEMBER THIS- Taft cannot be elected, Roosevelt can be elected. Wilson might be elected if the choice of a President was taken from the people and thrown into Congress. The election of Wilson means tampering with the incomes of the business man, the wage-earner and the farmer. It is up to every American to defend his income, upon which always depends bis outgo. THE ONLY WAY FOR THE AMER ICAN VOTER TO DEFEND HIS IN COME IS TO PREVENT THE ELEC TION OF WILSON BY VpTING FOR ROOSEVELT and JOHNSON (i'aid Adv.. Orrgon rrogreMive Party) Oregon. His interests are largely in Massachusetts. Lacks nn intimate knowledge' of the state and its needs. ! Was defeated for ronominntion fairly and squarely in the pri mary nominating election.

There were 28 additions to the church, and 2-1 of them were present at the reception. The event was a sort of compound ar rangement. Recently the Sun day School of this church cngag cd in a contest for membership. the women being pitted against me mun, in which mu winners were to bo entertained by the losers, and, as usual in such con tests, the ladies were the win ncrs. The men took this occn sion to give the entertainment to their fair eonnucrers. It is fair sample, too, of what may bo expected when the ladies enter politics, for a time at least. The men induced their wives ant daughters and sweethearts to bring the cakes, sandwiches, picKics, coitcc, and other re freshments, nnd after a very in teresting program given by tho Indies, some of the most enter prising of them served all com' crs, and there wero about 400 of them, to nil they wished to cat thus did the men entertain the winners. A most happy time was enjoyed by all, and tho church nnd Sundny School feel greatly encouraged with the out- como of tho meeting and the contest. Tho membership of tho school hns almost doubled within the past year, and tho member ship of the church has increased over DO per cent, lhe special meetings have been held by tho pastor, he dropping his regulnr work as a carpenter for tho time nnd devoting his entire timo to this work. Hallowe'en Parties Mrs. C. II. Boyd entertained the Jolly Stecn club in n delight fui manor at a Hallowe'en party Wednesday evening. Characters typ cal of the Hallowe'en season wero represented in a humorous and ingenious way, and the resi dence was decorated in an appro- mate and unique manner. Mrs. Svens' costume was very charm ing: Mrs. Muck and Mrs. Vin cent represented twin pumpkins, and Dr. Vincent represented a negro preacher and sang a negro song that elicitd much laughtbr and applause. Mr. Uorsmnn as a clown was "killing." Mrs. Uerrie represnted a witch. Mrs. Ingledue in white with silver stars represented Dawn. Mrs. Horsman in black spangled with moon and stars was a charming Wight. Mr. uerrie was a typi m ar - i cai larmer. Mrs. liennam wore a charming costume. A delicious lunch of apple pie and whipped cream, cheese and coffee wns secved. Grape juice wns served during the evening. It was an evening of fun long to be remem bered by those fortunate, enough to belong to that club. Mrs.A.W. Marklo entertained the members of the Debonair club and their husbands at a Hallowe en party last evening. lhe home was decorated in Hal- owe en designs nnd decorations. A number of the guests were arrayed in costume. Mrs. Evens, T !l i. 1 us uiuuny, was very ueauuxui. Quite the hit of the evening was Prof. Boyd and Mr. Derrie as the summer sciuashes. Thev elicited much merriment. Mrs. Boyd, a Japanese high caste lady, was very charming. Mrs. Gammel was a demure little Pri cilla. Mrs. Gray as the Gipsy Queen was very fine. Mrs. Der rie's characterization of a witch was very good, indeed. Sand wiches, salads, pumpkin pie and cider were served. The game of 500 and charades were indulged in.
