J Outsidc of a presidential campaign, seldom has there been so much interest taken in politics in Oregon by the .press of. the state as is shown- this month in the contest before the Re publican primary for the nomination for Secretry of State. Charles B. Moores, of . Multnomah County, and Ben W. Olcott, of Marion County, are the opposing candidates. Both are registered as Republicans and both are asking for the franchise of Republican voters only. .Especially noticeable, also, is' it that there is no candidate for this office to be voted upon in the Democratic primaries. Viewed from the standpoint of the attitude of the state press, the situa tion is remarkable. The Republican newspapers of the state. daily and weekly, almost without exception and in great numbers :re supporting Mr. Moores with strongest possible words of praise. From the Democratic press, on. the other hand, Mr. Olcott receives fulsome flattery and adulation. Here are some of Mr. Olcott's most ardent supporters in the Democratic edi torial camp, as described in part by the Eugene Register: Supporters Are amed. The Pendleton East Oregonian, bell wether of Eastern Oregon democracy. The Albany Democrat, owned by the pres . ent Democratic Minister to Slam. The Benton County Courier, which la Democratic when it is not Socialistic, 9'he Roseburg Review, one of the Btaunch Democratic wheel horses of Southern Ore Con. The Polk County Itemizer,. published at Dallas, wiiose editor is the postmaster of the tovn, appointed by a Democratic Presi dent in" a reward for services rendered to the Democratic party In this state for many years. r The Ashland Tidings, for many years the f trontgeat Democratic paper in Southern Oregon and until recently owned and con trolled by E. J. Keyser, Democratic post master of that city. It claims to be in dependent, but ever Is at war with the Republicans and Republican principles. Mr. Olcott is sending a little circular broadcast throughout the state urging Republicans to vote for him, and print ing extracts frevm 12 papers, only two of Avhich are dailies, both mentioned above, and all of which are Democratic with the exception of two, of such small circulation and so little known that their politics cannot be - ascer tained. One of these quotations con Mists" of nine words, and was published in a paper dated August 2, 1915, almost a year ago. Singularly, indeed, Mr. Olcott was able to find no commenda tion of himself In that paper since that date. Another paper published a friendly notice for Mr. Olcott April 1, 1916, be fore Mr. Moores' candidacy was an nounced, and now is supporting the latter. . Notice Is Derided. Some Republicans who have, received this circular voice the opinion that Mr. Olcott certainly was hard put to it to find any expressions of praise of him self worth printing. From about 50 clippings, gathered In the past week only, the following are representative of the strong Republican sentiment everywhere apparent re garding the candidates for Secretary of State. The Salem Statesman says: "I dare you to say whether you are for Olrott or Moores in the Republican primar ies next Friday. says a letter to the States man. "All right, we will take- the dare. Vo are for Moores. Because he is compe tent and experienced; a tried and success ful business man: a friend of both the em plover and the - laborer. And, because. If ou please?, ilia-V he is a pedigreed Repub lictni. and we are not adverse to confessing that the last reason is. In our opinion, this tar, of all years., the most Important." The Oregon Messenger, published at Salem, says regarding the boasted effi ciency of the office of Secretary of State; If he Oleott were entirely frank with the voters would he not say something line thlin "My Dear Friend I believe I am entitled to re-election because T had the brains, when 1 fell Into this soft snap, to retain the prm ripal employes, who had been developed to a high state of efficiency by my predecea- tors. T run tin k that you will consider this evidence of political rapacity on my part as belnff worthy of another Jlf.000 of easy state money on top or the (,WH tnat i. have already drawn down, and assuring you of my deep gratitude for anything; that you may be able to do for me during; the present campaign. I remain, with kindest personal re tiaras, yours, etc." Affiliation la Questioned. The Medford. Jackson County,1 Sun devotes a column of its editorial space to "Olcott. Moores and the Primaries, in which it says: There seems to be no question but that Mr. Moore is a Republican. In fact, that a ppears to be the principal objection to him, but there does seem to be a question as to wetner or not :ur. uicott is a kcdud Mean. Mr. Olcott seems to have no doubt. IS or has the Democratic press. After reciting the history of Olcott's connection with Governor West and the Democratic party, the Sun concludes as follows: If all that could be said in favor of Mr. Moores was that ho is a Republican, and all that could be said against Mr. olcott nas that he is a Democrat, party affiliations could be and should ba entirely disregarded "Hut on the standpoint of capacity. Integrity ana character, air. aiooreg is in evtrv way the equal if not the superior of the present incumbent, and his selection would Increase the eff 'cviency of the state administration by replacing antagonism and discord with fivmpathy, co-operation and loyal service. 1 hat's the re a sou we are supporting Charles V.. Moores, of Portland, for the Republican nomination of Secretary of State. The Roseburg Evening- News has a leading editorial upon "the non-polltl- cai cry, wnicn it closes as follows Naturally, Republicans want a Republican In this second most Imnortant office in the state of Oregon. Naturally they want a real Republican, and they are entitled to th privilege of making their choice without th Interference of Democrats parading under ints guise oi non-partisans, who are mov ing heaven and earth to bring about the rc-eietion or tne present near-Democratic Secretary -of State to the end that the Re publican party may be embarrassed and that Democracy may again get a strangle hold upnn the state administration. Charles 1. Moores is a man whose reeord is spotless, who has served his state end his party w ell and who is exceptionally qual ified to handle the office to which he aspires. Mr. Moore. merits the votes of nil who are honestly registered as Repub licans. - Query Is Pertinent. The Lebanon Criterion propounds this pertinent query: According to the records of the Pecretarv of State's office.

Tribune Takes Shot. The Pendleton Tribune declares that the man without a party is kin to the man without a country, and adds: It is not an unusual thine to find Re publicans, who. through friendship or other reasons, will vote for a Democrat nominated for a county or state office, but in nearly every case the Democrat voted, for by a Republican is a Democrat who is not afraid to declare publicly that he is a Democrat. This from the Condon Times fairly represents the expression of Republi can papers throughout Eastern Oregon: . Charles B. M cores is one of the best known Republicans in Oregon, and we ap peal to our friends and all good Repub licans to vote for -him at the coming pri maries. He has always been active in the affairs of the. state. Unlike his opponent, there is no doubt to be cast on his party affiliations. No editor will ever make the mistake of calling liim a Democrat In the columns of his paper. Mr. Olcott may be a good man and all that, but his appointment by Governor West casts a doubt on his being a Repub lican at heart. He may be, but the odor of West Is a hard matter to get over, and to be on the safe side Republicans should vote for Mr. Moores. Besides Mr. Olcott has had the offie for six years, and, if elected again, will hold it for 10, which Is too long. - Throwing party aside. American fairness will point to the advisability of giving an other man a chance. Officials should not be led to think they have a lease of office; when a man is too long in the harness, he gels stale. THORNFS WORK MARVEL HOI IIS OK LABOR PRECEDE VAX. COL'VER PniSON BUEAK.

The outer door is of heavy steel, and is locked from the outside. The inner door is of -heavy bars and is held by the bolt and hasp. The day Thome escaped, the outer door was left open for a time while a deputy and two trusties went to the boiler room to get some hot water to wash the dishes in the jail. This gave Thome his chance. Thorne slipped the bolt out of place, which released the hasp, opened the door, stepped into the hall, and replaced the bolt "so no one would notice his es cape. He left a. roll of blankets In his bunk so that a person looking into the jail would think he was sleeping. Thorne was captured In Portland and is being kept in a steel cell.

Large increase In the Oregon Nation al Guard is indicated by agreement of the House and Senate conferees on the Army bill, as announced in the dis patches 3esterday, according to offi cials' of the frtate service. Oregon's quota of the proposed National Guard increase will be approximately 22u0 men, which, with the 1800 men already under arms, will raise the state troops. it is estimated, to a brigade. Acceptance by the Senate of the Militia features, including Federaliza tion, pay, and. increase to 42o,000 men is regarded as practically full recognl- tion of every principle contended for by the National Guard services of the country. It Is pointed out that not only will officers and men be paid for their services, but the force will be more than quadrupled. "A total -force of 425.000 will give Oregon at least 4,000 men." said Ad jutant-General George A. White, yes terday, when asked as to the effect of the new legislation upon the Oregon service. "The land forces of the state now total approximately 1800 men; to this a force of 220O must be added According to the Army bill, these may be added e.t once, or recruited grad ually during a. period 6f five.yfcars in annual installment. Artillery Companies Favored. "Just what branches of the "service will be represented cannot now be said of course. That is a matter for the War Department to pass upon. How ever, the first .force To te added will be four companies of Coast Artillery, the organization of which already is favored by the W.ar Department, and wnicn will complete the artillery regi ment in this state. These companies will be organized as soon as funds and equipment are available for that pur pose. The headquarters of the regi ment is at Eugene, and the commanding officer is Colonel C. C. Hammond, of that place. "The most Important feature of the bill, in many respects, is that of pay ing officers and men for their services. This is a recognition which has been contended for during many years, and its final acceptance will greatly stimu late the entire service which has been working in the past without compensa tion. and with but little encourage' ment. Dual Oath Important. "Another feature of great importance is that requiring a dual oath of alle glance, so that the National Cuard is available for service outside the terri torial limits of the United States. This is intended to do away with legal re strictions against use. of the Guard for foreign service, and since every man in the Guard enlists with the idea of possible Federal service in mind, the authority given the President over the troops is what the Guard has long sought." That It will be an easy task for Oregon to raise its required quota of troops is believed by National Guard officials. During the past 90 days ap plications have been received from 20 different cities and towns in various parts of the state, asking for the loca tion of companies. These different points are now being investigated with a view to determining the advisability of organizing companies there. Different matters taken into consid eration will be the population of the towns, the attitude of the citizens -to ward the formation of a company, the availability of a suitable building for use as an armory, and the questipn of suitable material Tor orricers. The annual payroll from the Govern ment, which is included in the Militia pay section of the proposed bill, will be an economic feature of importance to any town possessing a company, it is pointed out.

The heavy mantle of beautiful conl ferqus forests in Crater Lake National Park is second only " to Crater Lake itself, in attractiveness, according to a publication by J. F".

"Within the confines of, the park," says Mr. Pernot, "are more than a dozen cone-bearing species pines, firs, hemlock and others growing in pure bodies or mingled together, form ing a confused broken cover. The vari ous trees of the Southern Cascades are not generally scattered throughout the mountains, but are distributed In fairly well-defined zones' at different alti tudes." Jn this .publication, which may be purchased from the superintendent of documents. Government Printing Office, Washington. D.

Over all of the region, excepting the summits of the highest peaks, is spread a wonderful array of evergreen Jrees. clothing the slopes with 'dense, solemn forests or dotted around mountain meadows, canyons and crater rim. The traveler who makes only a fleet ing trip to the park sees the lake only once and then passes on. will overlook much of the beet that the region can show. It is -better to remain longer within the borders, to "camp beneath its hemlocks and firs, to explore its peaks and forests and look often and long upon its lake, whose blue waters and wonderful tree and cliff setting leave memories that can never be lost.
