CAMPAIGN OPENED. And It is right that he nhould an Increased amount of business In that department, Mr. Stevens has performed the work with out extra expense to the taxpayers, and what is more, the work of record ing instruments has been well and ably done. I'nder flattering auspices the Re publicans of Clackamas county opened the campaign at Milwaukle Tuesday night. The enthusiasm that prevailed among the Immense audience of vot ers was certainly enough to discour age the most ardent Democrat. Ap plause greeted each speaker and the mention of Roosevelt, the standard bearer of the patty, or any reference to the accomplishments of the Re publican party, was followed y a thundering demonstration of approval. As each of the various county and legislative candidates was presented to the audience, there was signlfl cant applause, indicating not only a very general satisfaction wit'i the present administration of affairs, but a willingness and a desire for a Con tinuance of the same. Similar evi dence of endorsement of the present county officers was had at the var ious other points In the county where the Republicans conducted meetings throughout the week. The outlook Is very encouraging for the success of the entire Republican ticket o Declaration of Principles Adopted at Clackamas County Convention. We, the Republican party of Clack amas county in convention assembled ote with pride and pleasure the ad vancement, prosperity and progress Of the nation under and by virtue of the policies of the Republican party. We endorse the aggressive and broad statesmanship of Theodore Roosevelt, and hereby a., "ard his re nomination for President of the United States. We endorse and commend the ac tion of President Roosevelt In creat ing a precedent for the settlement of labor disputes by arbitration. Whereas, we have watched the course of Hon. John H. Mitchell and Hon. C. W. Fulton, in their efforts to develop material interest in the state Yiewed with pleasure their strong support of a canal across the Isth- mus, which canal when built and con- Btructed will be the greatest monu ment next to the abolishmen of hu man slavery, of the Republican party, and, Whereas, we have viewed with satisfaction the able manner in which these two members of the Senate of the United States are representing the state of Oregon and the North west Therefore, be it resolved that we hereby endorse their course In the Senate and appreciate their public service In the state and nation at large. Resolved, that we endorse the pri mary law which is to be voted upon at the June election, and hope that It may become a part of the stat ute law of the stae of Oregon, sincerely believing that the greater participation the voters can take in governmental affairs will be of larg er benefit to good government and our delegates to the state conven tion are hereby instructed to intro duce and advocate the adoption by the convention of a resolution recom mending the primary nominations bill to the people of Oregon for their ap proval. Resolved, that the development of Clackamas county requires the con struction and maintenance of good wagon roads, to the end that the people may be enabled to deliver the products of their labor to market within a reasonable time and with safety. We therefore demand a liberal and progressive policy with reference to guuu roaus ana sare onages, ana we pledge the nominees of this conven tion to the full and energetic sup port of such policy. Resolved, that we are in favor of electing road supervisors instead of aving them appointed, and hereby in struct our delegation in the Legisla ture to support a bill to that effect Sheriff Shaver has recently employed a good Democrat to Investigate the records of the county and ascertain to a cent the actual cost of collecting taxes under his administration and the administration of the preceding Democratic sheriff. Tie results of the investigation are highly flattering to Sheriff Shaver, who has made a record for the expeditious gathering in of taxes at a minimum cost to the taxpayers. The report which Is now In the possession of Sheriff Shaver, shows that for the year ending July 1, 1902 the last year of the pre ceding Democratic sheriff the sheriff's office cost the tax payers MC01.53. The total cost of this office under Sheril Shav er for the following year was $1214.24, or a difference In favor of Sheriff Shaver of $387.29 for a single year. Sheriff Shaver reports that the expenses of his office for the year ending July 1 next, will be at least one-third less than for the ini tial year of his term. In the matter of hiring deputies, sher iff Shaver has accomplished a considerable saving to the county on this item. Where his predecessor In office and he was a Democrat, too kept four deputies, two of whom re ceived $00 per month each, from February 13 to July 1, Sheriff Shaver since April 1 has had In his office only one regular deputy, while one clerk has been employed only part of the time. The Republican legislative candi dates deserve the vote of every voter in Clackamas county. They will ably represent the county In the legisla ture. Clyde G. Huntley, of Oregou City, Is popularly known throughout the entire county as a member of the drug firm of Huntley Rros. Company. He was a member of the last legis lature and served with credit to him self and to tho satisfaction of his con stituents. Frank Jagger Is a success ful farmer, residing at Carus. and can be depended on to do Just about what is right. Tho same may be said of J. N. Hramhall, who is engaged in the sawmill business at Alms. These three men, associated with Senator llrownell will be able to accomplish something in the way of legislation aud at all times serve tho true Inte rests of the people of Clackamas county. Make the majority of the three . Republican legislative candi dates as large as posible. such men and the coining election will show Its approval of his past ser vices In a decisive manner. Wash ington County News. SPEAKING OF IRREGULARITIES. Tho Courier has turned Its atten tion to mathematics, and Is quite an adept at figures ami bookkeeping. On the 20th of April, 11102, Sheriff Cooko made his semi annual report, or at tempted to make one hut as be did not sign it, nor did his chief deputy. It is a mooted question. as to Its real author. In this report, If It be one, he claims to have collected 1 1 28. 191.12, and during this period ho turned over to County Treasurer l.u elllng $80,121.25. What did ho do with tho balance of $18,829.87? This report does not show that ho had any balance on hand. All yo skeptical call and see for yourselves at the clerk's office, where this Important document Is on file. Verily there were bookkeepers In those days. Nor Is this all. In the county treas urer's report covering this hhiuo per iod we 11 ml that ho rcKrts as having received from all sources $r2.0:i7.59. What became of tho $80,121.25 above mentioned that the sheriff reported as having turned over? Now please understand that wo don't Insinuate that anything criminal has been done, but wo do claim and maintain that the records under Re publican rule are In a better condi tion than they were under Demo cratic, as tho records will show by comparison. It Is natural that the Courier should charge the Republicans with getting away with the funds. It Is m sury for that pa,er to make such charges in order to "make uml" with a great, many Democrats who contend that all Republicans are rascals. It was proper that tho Democrats should open their campaign at Mo lalla. the only point In the county that boasts of a Hearst club. The men now dominating what Is left of the Democratic party organization of Clackamas county, ure ardent ndmlr- ' ers and supporters of the editor j congressman ami the pill that tho i anti-Hearst people have to take Is I anvthing but palatable. I I o I Encouraging reports are b-'ir.; re : ceived from every sectiou of the state Indicating that the Direct Primary Nominations measure will receive an lmmeu.se vote at the general election In June. Opposition to this propose! law, which seems to be desired by all classes of people, is only nomlmj and cannot defeat tho bill. Tho people of Clackamas county are practically a unit for the measure and will cast a big vote for this form of legislation as a means of correcting some alleged evils in connection with the existing political system. o Chairman Rands announces that the candidates on the Republican county and legislative tickets will make a vigorous canvass of the county nntil the date of election. Meetings, will be held at different points in the county almost nightly, the times ami places being announced by posters. It Is important that tax payers should attend these meetings and hear county affairs reliably and Intelligently discussed. The Republi can candidates are desirous of mak ing a clear and comprehensive expo sition of the situation with reference to county affairs.

CoiiKi-essiiiiui Hermann will receive a good vote In ('I.icI.iiiikih rounly. as he should. The value of Mr. Her mann's services to the Kirst district are not easily over-stated. He Is in n position to do the district even greater service during the tdm to which ho will be elected in ' June. He Is deserving of tho vote of every Republican In the district, and the peoplo of Clackamas county, desirous of securing a public building and ac complishing tho Improvement of rivers, will advance their claim to these ends by rolling up a handsome vote for Mr. Hermann. o This Is the llrv.t yur In a decade that the political pan leu of Clack atnas county will be lined up against each other along strict purty lines. In view of the situation, every Re publican should mal e it a point to get to the polls on Monday, June ti. and vote his ticket straight, that every candidate on the ticket may re ceive the full vote of the party, which means a good majority. The same duty should be discharged by every Republican again at tho November election, that the party's nominees Pri CCS Reasonable LET US Do Your Work Work (hmrantcctl W o ilo it (leneral linkage and Truisfer Itiirini'Hs.

County Treasurer Cahill has reduced to a minimum the cost of clerical help In his depart ment, having employed a dep uty only at such times as the work of the office required. This record Is In utriking con trast with that of his Democrat ic predecessor, who regularly employed a deputy. Mr. Cahill will be re-elected, as he should be, in the Interest of efficient and economical administration of county affairs. o Enterprise and confidence In the community that publication so well nerves, was shown by tie Eugene Mr. Hermann is an efficient repre sentative, and worthy of the support of every Republican voter In his dis trictand of every Democratic voter, too; for Democrats, If they could j elect the representative, could noj j elect one so efficient. As to politics of course, "that's different." Men in large numbers will act In politics simply from the party point of view, without regard to actual facts or con ditions, or rational considerations. This Is the reason why the vote In Oregon for Bryan In I8'JC was much larger than any vote likely to be cast for a Democratic candidate during the next ten years. Since the passing of the silver craze the Democratic party in Oregon has been phenome nally weak. It Is able to allege no reason why it should exist doesn't attempt to give any. Even Its nega tive propositions are wholly uncer tain, changing from day to day. As to Mr. Hermann, again: The Oregon tan has often criticised him, because he has not been In all things as direct and "strenuous" as it has desired. Vet it knows that he has been doing excellent work in congres, during the past session, and is more efficient than any new and unknown man pos sibly could be. Besides, ho Is a Re publican and a supporter of Repub lican policies, and on Republican poli cies the prosperity of the country Is established. It is ten years since there was a Democratic house of rep resentatives, and they who remember lie conditions that prevailed In 1893-4 may well hope another ten years will elapse before there is danger, even, of another. Oregonian. o The necessary qualifications to a , voters of this county, every Repub lican should cast bis vote that tho marked degree are possessed by J. C. Zinser, superintendent of tho j schools of Clackamas county. Dur- i ing his first term, Mr. Zinser has done j mueh towards advancing the stand- arrd and increasing the efficiency of . the .schools of the county. He has 1 personally visited the various schools ' at frequent Intervals, and by taking I maladies no matter how severe and a sincere interest In the nroress of i irrespective of old age.
