What Kind Are You?
The opportunity will ho offered to you and to every voter In Cluck
nniim county on November 7 to voto n ticket that hits been presented
for your consideration hy the Republicans of this county. It is a ticket
composed of efficient nominees, candidates of tho Republican pnrty
who aro pledged to nduilnlHter their offices economically, nnd to avoid
wiisle.
On (he olhor hand, (hero Is a sllp-ensy Democratic, ticket. Henllz
Ing their feebleness, the Democrats of Claclinmus hnvo left tho Held
open In many places, and have concentrated their strength nnd central
ized their energies for the avowed purposo of dofentlng one a! the Re
publican candidate for the legislature, for district attorney, for asses
sor and for commissioner.
Now, the question Is, how fur aro you going to let them go? Will
yon turn a deaf ear to their plalntivo appeals for Ropiihlirnn support,
or will you bo fooled with tho old-old story of "non-portlsanship?"
Thero Ih only ono unswor to the question. Tho Democrats will
throw their entlro pnrty strength to tholr own condidntos, for offices
they are seeking. Thero will be few. If uny. Democratic votes rust for
the Republican candidates who nro facing Democratic opposition. The
local Democracy don't play tho game that way. They nomlnsto men of
ordinary ability, nnd then have tho crust to ask the Republicans to
scrntch the party ticket to help a few Democrats get a Job. The an
swer is to strengthen tho hands of tho direct primary and
VOTE TIIK RICI'UHUCAN TICKET.

W ASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Churgeb
thut General Carruiuu Is preparing tc
leave Mexico ure being freely, made
bf his political opponents in Mexico
toduy. They ure bused on his decls
ion to leuva bis capital for Queretaro
and tbe fact that Mrs. Curranza al
reudy has crossed the border Into the
I'nited States, accompanied hy the
wife of her husband's war minister
and chief supporter, Generul Obregon
Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various relia
ble sources. So far nothing tangible
tending to support the story has come
through official channels. It is known,
however, that many officials here he
lievo General Curranzu hns committed
a political blunder, at least, if he is
not In fact p eparlng for flight, by per
mining his family to leave Mexico Just
ut this time.
The trip, the say, wns rertuin to be
construed by his followers as a con
fession of weukness.
The purpose of the visit of Mrs. Car
runzu and Mrs. Obregon, us explained
ut the Mexican Embassy, Is for a tour
of tho United States. Word of the ar
rival at the border also of Mrs. Jacinto
Trevino, wife of the military com
mander of Chihuahua state, hud not
boon received tonight. It wus pointed
out, however, thut Trevino has been
among Carranza's Rtuimcliest support
ers and If the first chief believed hla
hold on the pomticul situation was
weakening, Trevino probably would bo
warned, in order that he might also
plac e his family In safety.
The unit la based on a story putt
IIMied September 13 In which Victor Is

dirty iiolllliai plot," In cotmection
with the raae uf John Joseph, a native
Magyar, who was then in the county

pears aa attorney for Victor.
Victor also (barges that The Enter
prise vloluted corrupt practices act
in that he wua not served with a copy
of the article 10 daya before it was
published and thut the name of the
; author thereof waa not signed to the
story.
The Kniovprlsc in its story of Sep

the bottom of a acheme to "get" Sber-

I ember election. Joseph waa arrested
i near Estarada in May on a charge ol
Huneny In a dwelling, bound over to
i
1 the grand Jury and put in the county

himself as an cgent of tbe Deutsche
' Zietiing. a Portland German dally, Vle
tor, endeavored to create a "mystery"
ubout the cuse with the aim of allien
utlng vote from Wilson.
Joseph Woerndlo, Consular Repre
icntive of the Austro-Hungarian em
pire, was interested In the case and
made several trips to Oregon City.
After a dozen Interpreters bad tried lo
tulk to Joscp'u, Mrs. Lovak, a Port
land Mugyar, u' able to carry on a
conversation with him. Joseph was
sent to the state hospital for the In
sane, and w ill probably be deported.
The allied libelous story opened
with a letter olleged to have been
written by Victor to A. F. Kern, edi
tor of the Zletung, which follows:
' My Dear Kern:
"Here's some more. Tell Woerndle
if you happen to talk to him to 'lay
off' the possibility that John Joseph is
insane. Prominent doctors nt Oregon
City have examined the man and say
there is nothing the matter with him,
except he is a 'low brow.' Will have
more of this stuff us the story contin
uesuse your own Judgment about
printing it: you can't hurt my feelings."
Victor says in his couiplulnt that b
is a journalist, newspaper worker and
mngaziue writer. He lives In Milwau
kie.

rd legikhtilon In a aafn and sane way
through (h leglalature, the general
trend is toward a men dim (he rnnall-

clared that the rural credit amend

sidewalk. Finally the line waa -v-formed
again and tbe little band
bravely started north on Muln i
f street. Scores on the sirewalk
looked for aome bit of bunting, 1
f an American flag', however small
Hut there waa none. The Demo-
rrats had forgotten their much-
boasted Americanism altogether.

Speaking In an easy, though force
ful manner. Senator George Chamber
lain recounted and reviewed the ac
complishments of the Democratic ad
ministration during th last three
years and one-bait. He lauded Presi
dent Wl'srin and upheld hla Interna
tional policy. Tbe policy followed by
President Wilson in dealing witb Mex
ican aa well as European problems, he
declared, was the same policy adopted
I years before by Republican presidents,
naming Lincoln. Polk and Grant.
Ilusi h's hall, where the meeting was
held, was crowded with about 1400 per
sons. Tbe remarks of the senior sen
ator of this state were met frequency
with applause. Many Republicans ai
well as Democrats were seated in the
large hall to hear the speaker.
Senator Chamberlain did not abuse
Justice Hughes or Roosevelt, when re
ferring to them. At the beginning of
his speech, which lasted for about
one hour and a half, he told his audi
ence that he did not believe In abuse
and vindication. "If In discussing the
men who oppose my beliefs politically
I must indulge in abuse and vllllfica
tion," said Chamberlain, "I will leave
politics.''
Democratic Laws Explained.
Some of the legislation which hud
been put through congress during thi
past three years and a half were ex
plained from the Democratic view
point by Senator Chamberlain. He
discussed the rural credits bill and
told of the benefits which the farmers
would derive. The banking act was
also explained, as well as the child la
bor law.
Senator Chamberlain declared that
the so-called eight hour law passed re
cently by congress was not forced
through congress by either the rail
road Interests or the railroad em-
p'oyes. It was passed by congress ho
declared, at the request of the presi
dent, because, he said, 100,000,000
Americans' interests were at stake.
"Mr. Hughes first declared that he
was opposed to this measure in its en
tirety," he said. But later he de
clared that he favored the eight hour
bill, but objected to the manner in
which it had passed the senate and the
house, and that this was a bill Increas
ing wages. I tell you that no men
tion of wages Is made in this bill, but
that it provides for an eight hour day.
Foreign Policy Defended.

UPHOLD THE PRIMARY LAW
Responses of the Republican voters of Clackamas county to tno
exposure of The Enterprise In reference to the tactics of the little
Democratic clique to defeat the Republican nominees for district et
torney, fop assessor, for commissioner and for representatives in the
legislature, have been far-reaching.
The candidates for these offices who were nominated by the Re
publicans nt the direct primary are eminently satisfactory to the Re
publican voters of Clackamas county and they are not to be fooled
by the Democratic clap-trap of "non-partisanship," which is never
raised except by the Democrats in opposition to Republican candi
dates. You who are Republicans are responsible for the fact that these
candidates on your ticket are in the race. Is it fair to strike a blow at
the fundamental principle of the primary law? The answer to the
minority who are trying to enter a wedge into Republican success at
the November election Is to
VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET!
