vestigation of the records by a fault
finding IVmoeracy has failed to dis
prove the claims that the adminis

years has boon all that could be asked
by the most exacting constituent.
The campaign as a whole has been
comparatively free from personalities
and that which partakes of mud sling

disposition on the part of some of the
Democrats to distort and misrepre

discredit the claims of the Republi

miserably flat.
The candidates on the Republics

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
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 o, ""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 cave watched the
course of Hon. John H. Mitchell and
Hon. C. W. Fulton, in their efforts to
develop material interest in the state
viewed with pleasure their strong
support of a canal across the Isth
mus, which canal when built and con
structed 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 tnd 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
otir delegates to the Ftate 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 approval.
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
wjthln a reasonable time and with
safety.
We therefore demand a liberal and
progressive policy with reference to
good roads and safe bridges, and we
pledge the nominees of this conven
tion to the full and energetic sup
port or snch policy.
Resolved, that we are in favor of
ejecting road supervisors instead of

The constitutional amendment per

abolishing the office of s;ate printer
and placing the election and control
of that officer with the legislature.
Voters generally understand the lo
cal option measure which proposes to
give each ward or precinct the right
to say whether or not a saloon shall
be maintained in that district. In Its
present form this proposed law is
objectionable in thut it is said that It
will prove practically prohibitory In

Tbe indications are that the entire

officers Lave proven capable of dis
charging the duties that attach to
the respective offices they have filled
and for which they are candidates for
a second term.
County affairs have been well and
economically administered dnring the
last two years, and In the canvass
of the county these officers have bad
nothing to conceal or misrepresent.
The mot convincing testimonial they
have presented in support of their
claim to a second term haa been tbe

ELEVENTH HOUR CANARD8.
In view of the tactics that bave
ben employed by tbe opposition in
tbe campaign that concludes with the
election Monday, it would not be sur
prising to see numerous dodgers and
other kinds of deceptive literature and
reports circulated at the eleventh
hour too late for refutation by the
parties sought to be Injured. Voters
are cautioned against this sort of
thing. The intelligence of the voters B'1 Democratic friends at a time not
Among the propositions to be voted
on at the election Monday is a con
stitutional amendment pertaining to
the office of the state printer. The
amendment proposes abolishing the
office of state printer and placing with
the legislature the election of that
officer. If there is to he a state printer
at all he should be elected by the
people, as are all of the other state
officers. The people of Oregon have
already had some experience with
other officers and commissions elect
ed by the state legislature, and It was
found that they did not work very
satisfactorily. Officers elected by the
people are responsible directly
their constituents for the adminis
tration of their respective offices.
In (his contortion it has been N amed
from good authority that th candi

ticket, in event of bis ebsrtlon, has

There Is one thing certain and that
is this: If tbe present Republican

a contingency being presented, how

Mr. Starkweather Is opposed to the
present law permitting the consolida
tion of school districts. Suppose two
districts should find It to their ad
vantage to unite their school Inter
ests, wholly or In part, for a short
time or permanently. Would Mr.
Starkweather refuse to comply with
the provisions of the law, the accept

wholly optional with tbe taxpayers of
these districts?
