Fischer, Secretary. MUZZLE THE TIGER. The Democrats await -with strong interest the action of the republican county convention. Their hope their o nly hope lies in the supposed disposition of republicans to play into their hands and we are not inclined to emphasize "supposed." Notwithstanding the large ma jority against their party, there are active candidates for places on the democratic ticket, and they are not prompted. by martyr-like zeal. They expect the republi cans to deliberately turn down their own candidates and lect the opposition nominees. Past experience tends to justify the ex pectation. - It is claimed that "there is no politics in local offices." Demo cratic leaders consider this a splendid proverb for. republi cans. Upon their own following they impress the fact and it is a faqt that it is very essential to the proper organization and gen eral welfare of .the party, that these "paying" offiees be captur ed. For years the democratic politicians have played the repub licans of Benton county for "suckers" and have found their fishing profitable. There is no necessity for mak ing terms with the democrats. If the republicans vote tneir own ticket they can' elect every man on it without making combina tions. It is an easy enough mat ter to. disappoint these Tammany leaders. There will be no diffi culty in selecting' material for a good, strong ticket. All the candidates for nomina tion can not, of course, be nomi . nated. There is bound to be dis appointment as a result of the convention, but this year espe cially, the candidates express the strongest intentions oT abiding by the decision of the convention, and supporting the various nomi nees, whoever they may be. This is the right spirit and insures vic tory. United we stand, and united we will be. Nolan & Callahan's "Bull Dog" shirts, t 50c, will not rip. PTATF0RM SUGGESTIONS: If the republican convention of Benton county adopts a plat- torm, it should be careful of its phraseology. The party should put forth an honest plajfonn. or none. In the matter of public economy, the r platform should promise enough and not . promise more than is practicable, ' or more than the party is capable of iuimung. On the financial question it might be well to not anticipate the state platform. The money question is not the only political issue, nor, indeed, is it the most important matter before the peo ple at this time. And while there is great difference of opin ion and very strong opi .-ions be tween repuqlicaus, it is a matter in which the majority should rule. The republican party that was organized for the preserva tion of the union should not be disrupted on' account of a diver sity of opinion regarding the amount per capita of circulating medium. A republican platform naturally will declare in favor of protection. It was under this policy that the country prosper ed and it was the threatened dis continuance of this policy that brought our people disaster. In state matters the most im portant reform" that should be promised by our party platform is the repeal of. the present as sessment and taxation laws They are unjust , A man should pay taxes only on that which he actually owns. ::- The exemption for indebtedness law was proper and equitable and a new law along the same lines should be enacted. The convention should favor strongly a constitutional conven tion.. Among other things the new constitution should fix the proper salaries for the various state officers and define clearly their duties. This is the only proper method of -settling this question. It is admitted that the present constitutional sala ries are not adequate and the present method of additional compensation is not satisfactory. The efficacy of remedial legisla tion on these lines by the legis lature is doubtful. . There will probably be other questions that will come up for incorporation in the platform. They should be considered care fully and acted upon wisely. : MR7SiM6ir"aha' his friends, assistants,' lieutenants, agents, servants and flunkies have been in political power in Portland most of the time for nearly twenty years; now they are go ing .to "reform'.' the inequalities and inequities for which they are chiefly responsible. . What a monk the devil can be when he isn't feeling well! Welcome. Wren Items. At the republican primaries held today Scott' King, Isaac Norton and R. B. Blodgett were elected delegates. The boys here say that there is no use for a man to stick him self up for office that favors the proposed stock law. Scott King is nursing one of Job's comforters just below his eye, but we would judge it is not of much comfort to Scott Scott King was nominated for justice of the peace and Frank Sikes for constable. If the boys are elected they will undoubted ly deal out law and justice to the people about right The county court will be ask ed by . petition to change the boundary lines of Blodgett pre cinct, which, if changed, will make It much more convenient for some of the voters, as they have to go clear to Kings valley to cast their votes. .

V Great interest was manifested in tlie republican primaries held in Benton county last Saturday and the contest in some of the Corvallis. preempts was especi ally warm. A number of demo crats renounced their? party Sat urday and cast their votes for re publican delegates. .The finan cial question cut no figure in the selection of delegates, friendship for the : various candidates for county nominations being the principal factor influencing the workers, althoughthe interests of Senator Mitchell and Con gressman Hermann were not al lowed to suffer. -In Corvallis No. 3 there were two tickets both alike, with the exception of one name. Geo. W. Smith's name was On one and J. Mason's :on the other. The former was elected. In No. 2 there were four tickets in the field and hon ors were even between, two of them. Nearly all the delegates are favorable to the return of Mitchell and Hermann, while for the local candidates there is a great diversity of. opinion. The delegates-elect will have plenty of interviews " between now and Saturday. The fol lowing is the list of delegates as far as heard from: Corvallis precinct No. 1 A. W. Mulkey, Minor Swick, O.

Glassford, At the primary held at Wells, the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, owing to the general depression in the finances of the state, and the low price of com modities sold to pay taxes, and the unjust principle of taxing the whole for the education of the few, therefore be it Resolved That . no more money be paid to state, normal or high schools of any description from the treasury of the state, and be it further - Resolved That no money be paid to any benevolent or secta rian school within the state. These resolutions are not intend ed to effect appropriations to common schools of the state. - What ShallWeDoToBe Saved? There is in this country at the present time, a large body of American citizens that feel ill at ease regarding the safety of their rights as such. Their rights are being questioned by another body known as the A. P. A. The for mer is made up of .Catholics, and all those diflering-either in re ligious or political belief with the latter. '"'"i - - Now, as one of the former, I seek information from the latter. I believe in the teachings of the Catholic church. I know of noth ing better. In this church I have been taught to be just to my fel low man in all my dealings, re gardless of his condition or stand ing in life. I have never heard or read any teaching that would conflict with this. As a Catholic religious teacher, the: church must extend through the world; each national branch must have its officers, - but ; over all there must be one supreme head, one that is not recognized as belong ing to any particular nation, while in the discharge of the duties of this "office. , I can see no objections to this organization. I do not know how it can be im proved on. I know of none so perfect in its workings, and I wold object if it were . not so. I have stated my position as brief ly as posible, and ask for infor mation. "I am for peace, if pos sible, bufbelieve ? in the princi ple of justice or death. ask for some officer or mem ber of the A. P. A., having au thority ;to ' speak, to state in as few words as possible, what must we do" to be .saved? Or what must a Catholic do, in order to become a good American A. P. A. I would, however, decline to be lieve -what such men as Supreme President W. J. H. Tray nor would say, neither do I want to hear from the ex-priest class. I believe there is some good liberal, broad-minded men in the order: These are the ones to give infor mation that will be acceptable. " As a matter of information, I will say that I have learned from good authority that many of the officers of the A. P.. A. are very corrupt The character of . the supreme president is not. spotless. This man is a Canadian Irish Or angeman, He came from Toron to, Ont, and located in Detroit shortly after the war. " He en gaged in the saloon business on Atwater street near Water street; the whitechaple- district of that city.- On each side of him were houses of ill-fame, known as the house of lords . and the house of commons. The chief of police, Martin V.': Bargman, was finally obliged to close them un." Tray nor then engaged as traveling salesman for the liquor dealers, Doolittle & Robinson, on Wood ward Ave., near the docks. . At that time there was no state li cense on saloons m Michigan. Tray nor then started a paper in the interest of the liquor dealers association, called the Public Leader, for the purpose of fight ing the license law. In his pa per he most shamefully abused Rev. John Russell, ' founder of the prohibition party. He also used the most .vile abuse to the members of the W- C T- U. Traynor made money out of the enterprise. His office was located in west Larmard street In De troit he was known as ' 'Whiskey Bill." . He began publishing ar tides from Tom Paine and other infidel writings 7 by this he lost a great portion of his support," and the paper finally went under. He then started the Detroit Hotel Re porter, which he ran for a short time, it becoming so corrupt that the city authorities. ..closed it up. Traynor is an avowed infMel, and advocates these principles on all occasions. V He was schooled under George1 Brown, of the To ronto Globe. Brown was grand master of thepraugemen of upper Canada, and, a. great denouncer of the Americans and the Grand Army. .
