VICTORY IN THE AlR.
There are more momentious
questions at issue in the elections
of 1896, than this man's reli
gious faith or that man's person
ality. The election will go far
toward solving economic ques
tions that are seriously disturbing
the minds of the people and that
radically effect the nation's pros
perity. Without attemping to discuss
at this time the various great
questions at issue, we believe
that the republican party can
safely be entrusted with the so
lution of .the vexing problems of
the day; and further, we believe
that a mojority of the people look
with hopeful eyes upon the as
sured success of the republican
party as the harbinger of return
ing prosperity.
This is no time for petty dif
ferences," for trivial objections.
Every vote means something.
Every candidate elected, no mat
ter how unimportant the office,
means much to his party. Let
the higher purposes influence us.
Ivet the nobler man speak. Let
our patriotism rise above narrow
prejudices and let us who have
enlisted under the republican
banner, work and vote, loyally
and enthusiastically for the suc
cess of the whole republican
ticket.
In Benton county the republi
cans are lining up as they never
have before. - A contagious en
thusiasm seems to have swept
away all minor differences, and
we will present a united front in
this campaign. Old Benton has
an opportunity that she will im
prove. Her majority for "good
Tmes" will not be a meagre one.
The eyes of the world are on
Oregon, and her decree on the
first of June will start an impulse
that will travel rapidly to the At
lantic coast. Benton's victory
for the republican party will not
be a scattering one. Victory is
in the very air. With "Patriot
ism, Protection and Prosperity,"
the campaign cry, it will be a
complete victory; a victory for
the whole ticket.
The old soldiers will be found
working energetically every
where this year for republican
success. They have no desire to
stamp with the seal of their ap
proval Hoke Smith's administra
tion of the pension department.
This year it is only a question
of majorities with the republicans
of old Benton.
Even Soap Creek precinct is
going back on Tammany ticket.
GEORGE WAGGONER.
There is every assurance that
George Waggoner's majority will
be one of the largest ever re
ceived by a candidate for county
office in the present Benton coun
ty. There is reason for this.
Mr. Waggoner is known for his
staunch friendliness to a friend.
His friendship has no politics and
no creed. It is this quality that
is universally admired, It is a
quality that gains him friends,
and friends that are worth having.
Mr. Waggoner has been a faith
ful worker for the party. He is
accused sometimes of being a pol
itician, and he is, in the better
sense of the term. He is such a
politician as every citizen ought
to be. He takes a deep, active
interest in public affairs and
works to promote such public
measures as he deems beneficial.
He is a consistent republican and
believes the success of that party
desirable for the nation's good.
He has worked for the success of
the republican party as hundreds
of good citizens in the" county
have done. His .qualities as an
organizer and as a public speak
er have perhaps made him more
prominent than some of the
others, btit he is in no sense a
"boss" or politician for revenue.
He is simply a public spirited
citizen and an earnest upholder
of republicanism.
Mr. Waggoner is farmer by
occupation. Twelve years ago
he moved to Corvallis to educate
his children, leaving a fine farm
that has since been converted in
to splendid prune orchards. Mr.
Waggoner is greatly interested in
the development of the fruit in
dustry in Benton county aiid is a
large stockholder in two of the
best orchards in the state.
. Only once before has he come
before the people as a candidate
for office. In 1880 he was elect
ed as representative to the state
legislature and served the people
of the county well. Mr. Wag
goner will make a good, capable
sheriff and there is no doubt of
his election.
edward' r'alph lake.
Mr. Lake was born in i860,
making him now 36 years old.
His early life was spent in south
ern Michigan, where his father
had settled on a farm. With his
brothers he attended the country
school with the usual results. At
the age "of twelve he was appren
ticed to two brothers, timber and
building contractors, with the
parental expectation that he
would follow this line of work.
In the meantime he was allowed
to attend the local school during
the winters- until he had "fin
ished" its alloted studies.
At sixteen, becoming dissatis
fied with the drudgery of an ap
prentiship, and desirous of re
turning to the farm, he abandon
ed the apprenticeship and re
turned home to assist in caring
for a herd of dairy cows. A fa
vorable opportunity occurring
some two years later, he entered
the city high school. A short
period's attendance here was sud
denly ended by a financial col
lapse of his father's affairs. This
brought the boy of eighteen to
his own feet. His inability to
further prosecute his studies was
of course a great disappointment
to him, but being made of the
right sort of stuff", he made no
complaint over the miscarriage
of his plans, and engaging on a
farm he worked for a period of
three years at ordinary farm la
bor, using his earnings to help
place the father on the old farm
again. In the meantime he had
attended a night school in the
conntry, paying his tuition by
doing janitor work at the school
building after nightfall, and by
helping the teacher in various
other ways.
In the summer of '81, with
scarcely one hundred dollars in
pocket he decided to make an
effort to enter the Michigan agri
cultural college at the opening of
the fall term. The evenings,
early morning, noon hdurs, rainy
spells and every spare moment
that was to be had from a hired
man's time, was devoted to those
text books, a mastery of which
was the key note to a successful
college entrance. The entrance
was creditably made, and the four
years' course completed in some
thing less than three and a half
years of actual college work.
The expense of the whole course
was borne by the young student.
He taught during winter vaca
tions, worked on the college farm
and gardens and did janitor ser
vice, in fact anything honorable
that brought in the necessary
dollars to pay the college bills.
After graduating, he spent one
year teaching in the public school
and taking post-graduate work at
the college.
About this time, while teach
ing, he was persuaded to abandon
his original plan of becoming a
farmer and horticulturist, ' the
plea being that he was too well
educated for . that, and induced
to take up the study of law. All
preliminary . arrangements had
been made for this course, when
a letter announced that the posi?
tion of assistant botanist in the
Agricultural College of Oregon, J
would be tendered. This provid-'
ed the way. Here was a chance
to continue the study of those
subjects upon which scientific
agriculture are based, and the
offer was accepted. Two years
in this position brought with it
the attendent duties of clerk to
the forestry commission, then a
new feature in the state's policy.
This was followed by an ap
pointment as professor of botany,
horticulture and entomology in
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Nearly three years of efficient ser
vice here was followed by an ap
pointment to the professorship
of botony, horticulture and for
estry in the agricultural college of
Washington. In the meautime
"Fruits and Floweis," a maga
zine published in Portland solely
in the interests of horticulture,
was edited by Mr. Lake. In
1894 he took charge, as president
and manager, of the Corvallis
and Benton County Prune Co's
orchard, and the present excel
lent condition which that proper
ty is in, is very largely due to
Mr. Lake's acknowledged ability
as a financier, and his thorough
comprehension of the science of
horticulture. During the past
eight years Mr. Lake's whole
time, money and thought has
been given to the development
of agriculture in Washing-ton
and Oregon, and has been of in
valuable service in building up
the most important industry of
the northwest.
It will not do to underestimate
the magnitude or attempt to min
imize the importance of the wool
industry in this country. It is of
infinitely too much importance in
a variety of senses to be over
looked in legislation. An nidus
try which engages more than
1. 000. 000 men. aside from the
hundreds of thousands of em
ployees, owning over 40,000,000
sheep, of the value, under nor
mal conditions, of more than
$150,000,000, and . including
lands and fixtures for sheep hus
bandry, with a total capital of
$500,000,000, giving to labor,
including services of flock mas
ters, 85,000,000 annually, with
an annual, product in wool, mut
ton, and pelts, at fair, prices, of
more than $110,000,000, is one
which deserves a better fate than
receiving a fatal legislative blow
at the hands of the American
congress, as it certainly did in
the free-wool provisions of the
Wilson tariff act .Senator John
H. Mitchell.
The first duty of the people of
Oregon is to elect a genuine re
form legislature. Joe Simon and
his Portland crowd got in two
years ago on a platform of speci
fic reforms in the name of the
republican party. They did not
present a genuine reform meas
ure that they dare go before the
people as such. They run the
senate wide open with sham in
vestigations and endless" clerk
ships, spending $13,500 for clerks
to $3,500 for the house of sixty
members where there was an anti
Simon majority. Salem Journal.
Benton county has nominated for
the legislature two men whose
economical and business-like
management of their own affairs
is a sufficient guarantee that they
will favor all measures of genu
ine reform. They believe that
expenditures in every department
should be reduced to a minimun,
and that the affairs of the state
should be placed on a thorough
business basis.
The Tammany politician who
makes such a laborious effort to
be humorous in Saturday's Times
is old enough to understand that
the people of Benton county are
not fond of course sacrilege. The
articles, with stupid frankness,
was appropriately headed "out of
nothing, nothing comes," and
did not contain enough of sense
or wit to merit ridicule. A man's
sense of the fitness : of things
should prompt him from offend
ing his readers with such profane
use of the Deity's name. -
Mr. Tongue will begin his
regular canvass in Clackamas
county on Monday, May 4th. He
will visit as many points in the
district as the time will permit of.
In the meantime, he is doing ex
tra duty wherever possible. He
has made several speeches since
his nomination, in Polk, Yamhill,
Clackamas and Washington coun
ties. The republican ticket this
year is a winner.
The Prosecuting Attorneyship.
W. E. Yates has received the
nomination for prosecuting at
torney in this district, and a bet
ter man could hardly be found
for the position. Mr. Yates is a
man of excellent moral character
and a lawyer of ability, and. will j
bring to his aid the same strict
economy that has made him a
successful man in business. Lin
coln county will earnestly support
W. K. Yates lor' prosecuting at
torney. Yaquina News.
W. E. Yates, the republican
candidate for prosecuting attor
ney, left for his home in Corval
lis thit forenoon. He will visit
Euo-ene a?ain before many days.
He seems to be a pleasant, affable
gentleman, and is said to be a
good lawyer. Eugene truara.
Two excellent nominations
were made for district attorney
in two adjoining districts, John
A. Carson, of Salem, and W. E.
Yates, of Corvallis. Both are
clean, canable attorneys of high
standing in their .profession and

"No Siree. The Times never
saM that the laiu .convention was
an A. P. A. convention and that it
nominated an Aj P. A. ticket."
Corvallis Times.
Philomath has two splendid
candidates on the republican tick
et this year, and the voters of
that precinct are going, to give
the whole ticket a rousing ma
jority.
It is claimed that the democrats
are lying low, getting ready to
spring "something big." . Ihey
snrunsr "somethina hi":" when they
nominated their ticket, but it
wasn't on wheels, and it is too biir
a load for the poor 01U democrats
to carry through.
The voters of Benton comity
who are enjoying , the "prosperi
ty" afforded ther country under
the Wilson bill arc recommended
to vote the 'Tammany -ticket.
That will be An - indorsement of
democratic free trade with its at
tendant "good times." -
The Times and: the Philomath
Journal have locked horns, and
the former offers to wager $100
and submit certain manuscripts to
gentlemen sworn to tecrecy for
proof of its position. This betting
is bad business, .even for newspa
pers, and it ought not to cost $100
to establish what at best is an
unimportant matter. People who
attack their party with false char
ges, and who are so dreadfully
afraid that their identity will be
discovered, are not worthy ao
much fuss. "
The Times says tne last issue of
the Gazette was full of "campaign
billingsgate and mud slingfng."
We will not bet any $100, or any
other sum, but are willing to leave
it to the candid opinion of the
readers of the 1000 copies of our
last issue, that it contained not
one word of falsehood and not a
tinge of offensive personalities.
Truth is never dirty, and truth is
the war-cry of the republican
campaign. Democratic party pur
poses, democratic party, history,
and democratic party methods are
legitimate objects of public con
sideration. The Gazette is not
sorry that ita political utterances
tail to please the Times. They
are not so designed.
This bill (the Wilson bill), in
so far as it deals with the sheep
and wool industry, is arbitrary,
invidious, and unjust. It places
this great industry on the sacrifi
cial alter and offers its ashes as a
sacrifice to the avarice of the for
eign wool grower and to some
extent the , greed of the eastern
manufacturer, and transfer finally
by operation of law to their cof
fers the great bulk of the $500.
000,000 invested in it, and turns
out of employment the 500,000
men employed in carrying it on.
A bill which vouchsafes protec
tion to the manufacturer and re
fuses - to extend it to those en
gaged in the other industry,
which favors the foreign produc
er at the expense of the home
producer, is one which discrimi
nates unjustly, unnecessarily,
mercilessly, and cruelly against
the agriculturist and in favor of
the manufacturer, ,' against the
American and in favor of the
foreigner. John H. Mitchell.

Sly nnmc was ihcJ in connection with the
nomination for tlio office of sheriff in our
convention and by mo withdrawn Iwforo any.
vote was taken. 1 find thai my notion has
boon misunderstood.
A h well known to all my friends I am
no ofneo soeki-r simply n republican from
principle. My name, until our convention,
was never before u.cd in connection with any
oifice to my knowledge. Being urged by
friends, I consented to accept the nomina
tion for sheriff for the salary fixed by lnw, if
the convention desired me as their candidate.
After the adoption .ot a certain resolution by
the convention to fix a snlarv different from
the one in the statue, I felt that I should not
make a donation-i'iply for the sake of be
injj nominated for lh;r ivTloe, hence, with the
adoption of the rcsolutixi. I withdrew my
name for that office. I naturally thought.
that the resolution was adopted for a purpose j
and that it meant what it said. " By the or
der of business, the clerk wa? to be nomina
ted first, but for the same reason that I with
drew.'ono of tho candidates for clerk, also
withdrew hi name from tho convention.
With the resolution in full force, a clerk was
nominated, then cams tho nomination for
sheriff under the resolution flxiua the salary,
when I withdraw as stated. In n diatly an
amendment was proposed and carried ti lln
original resolution changing tho resn'.utio:).
Aft.T vliis tho friends of tho candidate, for
cleik, who bad withdrawn his name, believ
ing that the choice of the convention might
bo different under the new resolution, moved
that the vote for clerk be reconsidered, as the
resolution under which the nomination had
been made was reconsidered, bit strange to
say was voted down. Tho resolution had
served its purpose. I supposed the vote on
reconsideration was just aiconclusivo on the
sheriff as on tho c!ur!c. I did not feel like
urging poverty, hence I acquisced without
another formal motion for reconsideration.
I have no reflections particularly on anyone,
and thank my friend's for their kindness in
my behalf. " Respectfully,
"VVm. Ksotts.
There seems to bo soma misunderstand
ing concerning the much talked of resolu
tion which Mr. Knotts r tm to. Tho origi-'
nal resolution was: '-Resolved, That it is
the sense of this convention, that all county
officers should perform all the duties of their j
. cv. c 1. .. ! . -. ,A V.. '
law, furnishing deputy hire at their own ex-
Dcnso." The amendment simply added
these words: "Except in extraordinary
cases where tho preservation of peace and
order requires a largo amount of deputy
help." Tho amendment simply provides
for extraordinary occasions, such as riots,
strikes, etc., and in no way effects tha clerk,
and practically docs not alter the original
resolution in respect to the sheriff. Ed.
