Five ot Our Next President Presidential candidates are becoming at thick as bees around a hive. The Oregon primary election ia not many months away, the dates of primary elections in other states loom, and there is a scurrying to and fro, and an unusual activitty on behalf of the many men who are offering themselves on the national altar of service. The people of Oregon are chiefly interested in the prospective candidates on the Republican ticket. The registration in this state is overwhelmingly Republican, and thinking voters of" Oregon believe, that the next president ot the United States will be a Republican. There is naturally some curiosity as to the identity of the Democratic candidates but to the average man, un less he is rubber-stamped, it appears that .the Demo cratic party has made, in the last seven years, such a mess in directing the affairs of the nation that the peo ple will veto any proposal to retain them in power, either in congress or in the office of the chief executive. Western people would prefer a Western candidate, but we cannot hope for an early realization. Thousands of Western Republicans are distikictly unfriendly to the aspirations of both Senator . Poindexter , and Senator Johnson, and with these two gentlemen unable to'enter a national convention with the solid support of their own territory, we are unable to see any hope for them as possible nominees. !i Unless the sentiment among the rank and file of Republican voters throughout the country changes ma terially within the next few months, the nomination will probably go to either General Leonard Wood or ot Governor Lowden, of Illinois. Both are able men. Wood was one of the closest friends of Theodore Roose ' velt, and is regarded by many as a man who would at tempt to carry out some of the ideas of that great man who was his intimate for manyears. Governor Lowden as a member of congress and as chief executive of ope of the greatest of our states, has shown wonderful qualities of statesmanship and has a strong following of enthusiastic people that is growing rapidly. . u EitCr r Lowden would probably be accept able to the Republicans of Oregonthough there is an actual possibility that this state will indicate its prefer ence m thte coming primary election for another can , didate, who will likely be a minority choice. COMMISSIONER RACE EXPECTED TO BE HOT ONE The announcement that County Commissioner W jt Pnvtnr m-in ni be a candidate to succeed himself opens an avenue for a swarm of can didates for Uiis position, aud while no declarations have been made, it is known that thei will be a tew as pirants for a place that carries with it considerable influence in directing the policies ot this county. E. D. Olds, of Oak Grove, may be a candidate on the Republican ticket. He is said to have considerable sup port, both in the northern, eastern aud southern sections ot the county and If be enters the race he may be counted on to put up a formidable scrap. Another man whose friends are becoming active in his behalf, but who has not Indicated just what he will do, is Charles Kruse, of the Ob wego district He is well known as a good roads booster, and the elimin ation of William B. Cook, who is to be appointed county assessor, from the list of prospective candidates for county assessor, opens a way for a west side man, though there Is al ready a candidate tor county Judge from that section west ot the Willam ette river, in the person of U L. Porter, ct West Linn. Another man who has been prominenUy mentionod for the commlsslonership is John R. Cole, one ot the best known citizens of the Molalla district He was very active for the road bonds measure, and enjoys a wide popularity. It has been stated that J. W. Reed, of Es tacada, and W. H. Counsell of MI1 wauklo, who have been epoken of In relation to the office' of county com missioner, will not, ! nndt-r ; any cliv cutnstances, ' be candidates, and Thomas W Roots, former roadmaster, has authorised that he would a denial ot the report j be a candidate for a plnce on Ihe county bench.

' 1 IT nee LOGAN, Ore., Jan. 7. (Editor of the Enterprise). As H. W'. Hagemann has gven his side ot our road super-? Vision controversy in the Banner-Cour-f ier, I am asking a chance - to show some ot the other side. It has been said that Logan is noted for quarrels, which it true, is because some ot us have range of vision long enough to see a desirable and ' agreeable end, though, disagreeable difficulties, such as beset the way to prohibition, woman suffrage, world, democracy and alt good things including good roads. We have opposed Mr. Hagemann's ap pointment because we do not think he has the qualifications, natural or, acquired, for that, at present, very important position, and because his opponent has both In an eminent de-. gree and has the confidence and ap proval of all who have or will direct the road work of he county. Our claim of Mr Hagemann's oposition to road taxes and improvement, is not, based alone on his opposition to the bond measure but ia based on long, continued and offensive ; opposition to all special road taxes tor several years, ever since he tailed to control the county court and the appointment, ot road supervisors. He opposed the 7 mill tax for paving and tho 10 mill tax for the same purpose, both of, which were expended by the county" court. His opposition to the .latter continued after it carried by trying for an injunction to prevent collection. All this opposition was to prevent Judge Anderson from receiving credit for performing a public service - by extending Clackamas county's pioneer paving movement The list ot E. C. Gerber's relative who have received such a large amount for road work in District 12, while more than double the true amount, is creditable to him, as . it? shows his relations are loyal to him and to the best road interests. They gave full value In labor for all they s received, being in a prosperous situ-s ation and having trucks and . good; teams so they could do the work t when workers were hard to get and; they did not or will not stand In the way of any other willing: workers. It to not at all probable that Mr. Hage- mann's relatives and friends could or would have made a better showing, y As to gobbling ip treamery stock, that U a matter to be settled at j a creamery meeting and If ' Carl Kir- . chem was not a legal voter bis vote should have been challenged. t If the vote for chairman showed. which the the wind "was blowing,, petitions are a good Indication also; and winds sometimes change. .: !
