Every Indication Points to Sweeping Victory For
Cake and all of the Nominees of the
Grand Old Party.
Cloae obaervera who have been In
nearly every precinct In Clackamaa
County have no hesitation in saying
that the entire Republican state and
county ticket will carry the county
by pluralities ranging from 250 to
i:too. The attempt made by the Uonv
ocrats tn accomplish the election of
their candidates for sheriff, assessor
and cominixHlonc r ban fallen flat, and
It Ih freely predicted that the Repub
licans will make a clean sweep. The
dlspoHltlon of tho members of the ma
jority parly to vote their ticket
straight seems to be general and the
fuel that this Is a presidential year
la Impelling the Republicans to cast
their ballots without a scratch, en
dorsing Theodore Roosevelt and his
Republican policies.
The banner Republican rally of the
campaign was held Tuesday night at
Sandy and 300 enthusiastic people
gathered In Casper Junker's hall and
listened to speeches that were full of
vigor for the grand old party and Its
principles. The meeting was preced
ed by a Prohibition talk by F. J. Mc
Henry, who spoke out of doors to a
fair hIzoiI crowd. The candidates for
county offices on the Republican tick
et were nearly all present and the
demonstration they received augurs
well for a largo majority for the en
tire ticket next Monday.
The candidates went to Damascus
Wednesday night and Thursday night
they went to Heaver Creek, closing
tho campaign this evening at Mllwau-
kle. The local Hand has been engag
ed for the rally and a line large time

rounding the speakers, and the Park

Cleeton was the main speaker and
he put forward many forcible argu
ments for the election of II. M. Cake,
Republican candidate for United
States senator. He replied vigorous
ly to the speech mnde here by Gov
ernor Chamberlain on May 22, com
paring the characters of the two men,
weighing the unexcelled energy and
proberblal Industry of the Republi
can candidate against the political ca
reer and expectations of Chamberlain.
He placed the industrial and business
experience of Mr. Cake along side of
the work of the Governor, showing
how the Intter had gone from one of
fice to another on the shoulders of
the Republican party while carrying
the Democratic ting, seeking higher
positions while drawing the salary of

of Trade. Mr. Cleeton pointed to the
clean record of Cake and asserted that
he had never held political offices. He
set forth the ability of the Democratic
candidate to fool the people, stating
that ho had won Republican votes in
past elections while proclaiming the
doctrine that the office of Governor
was a nonpartisan office. Mr. Cleeton
also discussed other issues of the
campaign that are now before the vot
ers. Mr. McArthur lauded the principles
of the Republican party, urging the
voters to see to it that Republicans
only represent the State of Oregon at
the National capital. He talked in
favor of the appropriation for the Uni

policies that he would follow if elect
