excellent democratic argument but it is true
nevertheless.
Our people out here would gladly listen to
a republican political discussion and we
bare been anxiously awaiting some appoint
ment. In conclusion, would like to say to every
one that success for the republican ticket
depends on getting out a full vote on elec

self into a committee of one and see that
every voter goes to election. The result
will be 10,00 majority in the state of Ore-!
