the state and in a short time there
will not be an important center in
Oregon without its Roosevelt club.
Indications are that I'endleton will
be the first club outside of Portland
to organize. There Frank Curl, well
known republican leader of Umatilla
county, has been entrusted with the
work of harmonizing whatever dif
ferences that may exist among party
members, with the object of putting
the full strength of the republicans
behind the party's nominees at the
forthcoming election.
The Roosevelt clu-b will not indorse
any primary candidates, but will give
ail of them a hearing. After the pri
maries, however, it will give yeoman
service to secure the election of the
regular nominees.

publicans in the city. Former "stand

has established headquarters in the
Chamber of Commerce building. In
