It has been under the adminis tration of the Republican party that Hood River, with the rest of Uncle Sam's domain has enjoyed its greatest prosperity. There does not seem then any reason for a change and every reason why there should not be. It has been under the policies of this same party that its products have brought the highest prices in the world's markets and it is reasonable to suppose that under this self same policy they wil continue to do so. The condition that confronts the voter is that of supporting the element that is endeavoring to keep these pol icies in existence. The issue is not so much a change from Re publican to Democratic rule as represented by the conservative element of the latter party, as it is a change in power to a move ment that at present represents nothing and whose policies are not known. Republicans who believe in a continuance of the prosperous rule we are now under will vote for the candidates that represent and endorse the pres ent administration and which are in this instance on the assembly or the regular Republican ticket. Those who are for uncertainty, doubt and probable business and financial disturbance and disaster will vote otherwise. Satisfactory in Washington The result of the Washington primaries, according to reports from Seattle, indicates that there will be no change in the local op tion law this year. In a few counties friends of the prohibi tion workers were elected, but the general results indicate that the voters are willing to give the present law a more thorough trial before affecting any change. The law has worked out satis factorily wherever it has b?en tried, and is so utterly fair in al lowing each community to settle the liquor question for itself that any legislators who trifle with it or try to take up the time of the coming session with another long drawn out fight like that which occupied the minds of the law makers in 1909, will make them selves unpopular. If the eternal liquor question can be eliminated from the dis cussions of the legislature many of the nominees now believe that body can profitably spend its time in cutting down the public expenses instead of fighting for the entire session and then rail roading an enormous appropria tions bill through the closing hours as was done two years ago. The Washington local option law is similar to the one being advocated this year for Oregon. Autos Bringing Good Roads The movement for good roads in the states of the northwest has received a great impetus from automobile owners, and the organization last week of the Western Automobile Association which numbers among its mem bers the auto clubs of the cities of the northwest, will be an im portant event in the campaign for better highways. While the farmers and motorists are not always friendly they agree on the good roads question. All over Washington the county com missioners selected at the pri mary election of Sept. 13 were pledged to the good roads cause. Slowly but surely this movement is assuming the importance it deserves.
