Hart, of Polk. G. B. Dimick, of Clackamas. A. C. Hough, of Josephine. J. A. Fee, of Umatilla. NOT AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY. Resident Roosevelt is not an un known quantity to the Aemrican peo ple. He is personally well known to a vast number of of voters in every part of the country. In New Vork be is familiar to the sight of a great majority of the people of that great citjQ Throughout his own state the same Is true. In Boston he is as much at home as in New York, for Har vard Is his alma mater. Throughout New England he Is recognized as the representative and exponent of the ideals which have ruled the cradle of American liberty from the landing of the Pilgrim fathers. And this native of the Empire state, this graduate from the famous New England university, is even more fer-1 vently admired and beloved in the west the far west and the middle west, than he Is In the east. And this Intensity of feeling for Roosevelt in the west unswayed by sectional bias, as it is, is but the national feeling of a young virile people. A people who recognize a man when they see him During the McKinley campaign of 1900, Roosevelt, as a candidate for vice president, visited almost every western state and territory. He spoke to immense crowds, and won friends by thousands by his straight forward, self-controlled, dignified ut terances, ana nis manly, generous personality. Toward the end of the campaign the national committee was over whelmed by requests for speeches by Roosevelt in all parts of the country It was a physical impossibility for him to accept one-fourth of the en gagements to speak that were urged upon him. In Chicago, where upon his return from the west, he addressed a great crowd at the Coliseum, he was re ceived with the utmost exhibition of enthusiasm. His speech was calm, forceful, logical and convincing, a con trast to the frantic efforts of ordi nary speakers. Contrary to the expectations of peo ple who had derived their idea from the comic supplements and other pic torial atrocities of the yellow press, Mr. Roosevelt's utterances were char acterized by a steadfast adherence to the main questions at issue in the campaign, and whatever he said bore the stamp of original thought, broad experience and study, and the most conscientious sense ,of responsibility. There was no ranting, no personal abuse, no wild statements or strange imaginings, in any of Mr. Roosevelt's speeches, and there was no posing. He stood before his great audiences of the United States. He knows them. They know him. And they under stand each other. ; o REBUKE FOR CALAMITY HOWL ERS. There Is an effort on the part of The Inst four years of Democratic rule left the country oppressed by misfortune a,nd doubtful of the future. Why should any patriotic American wish to repeat that experience? o Hut for the Republican party the government would not have survived ' i-i'v .. the storm of civil war nor taken any few blatant orators to create lack of Lf (ho ,,roKrwwlve ,,,,,, (nat have rounueme in ine pumic roinu ny say- niarko,, pur hlsU,ry 8llK. the WBr mg me country is going to tne bad; that great Industries are shutting down: that the railroads are retrench ing, instead of improving roadbed and equipment: that no new factories are being constructed: that thousands of working people are idle and that Re publican prosperity is a myth. These statements are so palpably false or so greatly exaggerated that Intelli gent persons are not misled by them, but there is dauger that when the canards are reiterated by the calamity howlers a few people who do not keep closely in touch 'with industrial and! commercial conditions may be led to believe them. Any man or newspaper that delib erately attempts to create distrust In the financial or commercial world is little loss than criminal. Some states have punitory laws framed for the purpose of sending to prison persons who circulate untruthful rumors about banks and trust companies. If the man who causes a run on a bank bv preading a false report is a crimi nal, Is not the man or newspaper that attempts to make political capital by destroying public confidence also criminal? And, by the same rea soning, is not the party that permits The New Vork Herald has printed a facsimile of Judge Parker's gold telegram. It should furnish a com paulon piece by printing a facsimile of his silver ballot in lS'.'C and 1900 o The question Is now being discussed as to whether a shadow can occupy space. The answer must be In the affirmative to those who believe there Is a money plank in the St. Louis platform. o A young man about o cast his first vote should Identify himself with the party of progress. Why should he ally himself with a party that has to go back a hundred years to find some thing to talk about. o Forty years of practical control of the government by the Republican party covers the whole period of modem progress. The only Inter vals of reaction or failure to progress With the Immense cropa which are now assured It Is essential that the prices be maintained so that farmers may reap the full reward of their labors. This Is assured If the Repub lican party la continued In uower. "We want no laws Inspired by pas sions, nor do we want them admin istered by selfishness or incapacity. The best laws, wisely administered, are what we demand, and they can be secured if we but do our duty, duty commanded by the sacrifice of those who sleep in this field, and by our own Interests and the Interests of those who shall follow ns." Sena tor Kali-banks at Freehold, N. J., June 1903. FIRST VOTERS CAMPAIGN BUT TONS. and Parker have been Intimately as sociated, socially and politically. If the statement mailt) by Hill Is to be believed, then Parker Is too secretive a man to elect to the presldeucy; if false, then It was evidently made for the purpose of misleading the people; and If the peoplo are to be deceived in one thing, why not in all the acts of the Democratic leaders? The National Republican Commit tee, Auditorium, Chicago, Is distrib uting thousands of artistic Roosevelt and Fairbanks first voters buttons. They are free for the asking. Apply to the chairman of your state com mittee. Show your colors. WOULD IT BE WISE? It Is conceded that the Democrats are not on record on the tariff ques tion. This being the case, would It not be unwise to trust tariff revision were when the Democratic party was to ,lie Ilnr,y opposed to the principle in power. Experience has shown that the pub lic credit and the national currency are absolutely safe In the hands nf or indorses the utterances of the ca-j,he Republican party. Why risk en lamity howler and spreader of false i trusting them to a party that has rumors an enemy of the law? .. hliu.n anv roiia,fv , ,,. Suppose the Democratic party won!ng them? of protection, the result being prac tically free trade, bringing Industrial depression, 'hard times and the In evitable lowering of prices on farm products? IMPERIALISM OF STEEL. When tho gnat Iron and steel In dustry of the I'nlted States thrives, other American Industries thrive. Tho Democratic parly could not log Islate to destroy the protection to the I roh and steel Industry without legislating to destroy the pilosperK of the I'nlted Stutes. The millions of additional profit and wages that have come to tho Iron and steel Industry under Republican rule would have been earned. If at all, by foreign tuitions, had Democratic policies prevailed during the last eight years. The giguntlc rise of this Industry during the last eight years added enormously to the wealth of the I'nlted States, and every branch of American Industry and agricul ture has been stimulated t,y t. "pros perity at homo and prestige abroad" has Indeed been Intimately connected with the increasing Imperialism of steel, which oncu was Pauper but now Is King.

Oregon City Transportation Ce, victory at the polls through des- roving confidence In commercial and industrial circles, would the admin- tration of that party have the con fidence of the people? Would not cap ita, which is always timid In the face of uncertainty, begin to hide? And hen capita is distrustful what hap pens? Industries lag or close, trade . . ... . . . ... oi me retail mercnants tails off, the jobber and wholesaler suffer, rail-i way traffic diminishes, hundreds of thousands of wage-earners are thrown out of work, distress becomes gener al, soup houses are opened and cities are compelled to begin charitable works for the idle. No political party that countenances the creation of distrust is worthy of the people's confidence. It will be a sorry day for the country when the howlers succeed In reversing the ben eficent policies which the Republican party has put into effect and which have resulted in an era of the great est prosperity any nation has ever known. That industries and business of all kinds continue to prosper there can be no doubt. The few strikes in the building and other trades are not in dicative of depressed conditions. The wage-earners do not strike In times of panic or waning prosperity. Strikes are generally for higher wages, and no toller expects an Increase in wages when work is scarce and thousands of his fellows are idle. There is ample evidence that pros perous times are still with us. A glance at the newspapers, Democratic as well as Republican, shows that millions of dollars are being expended in building new factories and enlarg ing old ones, in constructing new trolley lines and Improving the road bed and equipment of steam railways. More persons are employed now than ever before. As proof of this statement, take, for instance, the rail ways, whose traffic always is a reflex of business conditions generally. The number of employes on the payrolls of the railways in the United States on June ao, 1903, was I,.112,5:i7, or C.'!9 per 100 miles of line. These figures, One of the Incidental benefits of Republican rule Is the general Im provement in the condition of the roads traversed by rural free delivery carriers. This Is particularly true In western states, where the Improve ment was most needed o Under the Republican policy of pro tection our manufactured products have become one-third of those of the civilized world, and American workmen secure almost double the pay for their labor that similar labor receives In other countries. o "Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth Is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures." From Roosevelt's speech at Provi dence, R. I., August 2'; 1902. o Under the Republican policy of pro tection our home market affords our manufacturers and producers the best market In the world, even If we do not sell any of our products abroad. But protection has also made us the greatest exporting nation In the world. : TACCART IS FASCINATED. Tom Taggart Is so fascinated by the Inscrutable mystery behind Judge Parker's jpeech of acceptance that he cannot lay It aside long enough to take his meals. Ho pores over It from morn till dewy eve. He reads It In his bath at French Lick Springs j and drops to sleep reading It In- bed. He declares that the elusive mystery I of what It all means becomes clearer with every perusal, and that by the close of the campaign he confidently expects that It will be as clear as the water of his own Pluto spring.
