ALL PULL TOGETHER.
This end of the county lias
nade loud complaint in the past
year or two, over the treatment
its petitions have received at
ho hands eft the county court,
ind because of the unequal
'distribution of the money spent
by the county for roads and
'other improvements. An op
portunity offers now to remed'
these conditions by the election
'of a county commissioner who
will see that we receive Mir
'treatment. Fred Fisher is the
'candidate of this end of the
'county for the republican nomi
nation, and if he secures the
nomination at the primaries on
the 20th. a week from tomorrow,
.his election is certain to follow.
;lDvery man in this piecinct and
in fact in this end of the count
should take a personal interest
in the matter, and should help
to get out a lull vote at the pri
maries. This end of the county
needs a county commissioner,
and the.only way we will ever
"get one is to all stand together.
Fred Fisher is one of the lar
gest property owners in this
-precinct. He is a capable busi
nessman, and understands the
needs of this growing section.
He is interested in the develop
ment of (Jiook county, and our
Interests will be in pood hands
if he is elected to the count
board. The important matter
to us now is to secure his nomi
lialion, and a bir. solid vote in
the precincts in this end of the
county will be a big step in that
direciion.

Now. as to thu facta iibou
the deal which is the real rea
son for the uounlul's support o
the Laidlaw man. About three
weeks aco the editor; ot th
Journal accompanied 3. E
Hodges into Southwestern
Crook on a canvassing tour
The Journal man is particular
ly interested in the candidacy
of Mr. Hodges for the reputm
can nomination for Bheriff.
Laidlaw was included in that
itinerary, and when thev re
turned to Prineville, the Crook
County Journal immediate!
began to boost for Ba'ley, o
Laidlaw. in spite of its former
declaration 01 neutrality, it
has since leaked out that the
Prineville editor, while at
Laidlaw, helped engineer a
deal whereby the support o
the Ciook County Journal for
Bayley would be exchanged
for sitDDort lor Hodges tor
sheriff in the Laidlaw neigh
borhood. The writer knows
who engineered the deal foi
each side, and if the Journa
man is not satisfied, we can
give him names. But he won'
ask it.
Tliis paper has tried to keep
out 01 tho light over the re
publican nomination for sheriff,
but when one of the candidates
for that nomination, and the
Crook County Journal man
who is particularly interested
in his candidacy, seek to job
off the county commissioner
ship in their own interest, we
intend to take a hand to the
extent of exposing the self
interest that lies behind those
deals and combinations. That

THE PEOPLE'S OPPORTUNITY.
COMBINE AGAINST MADRAS.
By a palpable misstatement
of facts the Crook County Jour
Wl seeks to belog the issue, in
its effort to defend the "deal" it
made to support the Laidlaw
candidate for the county com
inissionership, and the Journal'
;absolute disregard lor lacts
makes it necessary for us to
tell what we know about the
'deal. The Journal will not,
however, succeed in making
'quarrel between the supporters
ol the two vvestern Crook coun
ty candidates for county com
missioner, bach 01 these can
didates has conced"d to the
other the right to the support
or his end of the county, and
the contest has been a friendly
one flora the start. The first
jar in the friendly contest is
caused by the Crook County
Journal's deal to "job" off the
county ommt.-sionership, in
its effort to boost its favorite
candidate into the nomination
for sheriff at the republican
pi 1 manes.
The Journal's statement that
"the whole of Western Cro'ik
'county was interested" in the
meeting which nominated Mr
Bayley is absolutely false
Another statement by the Jour-
rai, to the eflect that the peo
pie of this section indirectly
sanctioned the candidacy of
'one man and then threw their
s'Unport to auollier, or that Mr.
Bayley ever was directly or
indirectly assured ol the Bup
port of the Madras district in
the primaries, is absolutely and
maliciously false. Mr. Fishei
was a candidate for the county
'commissiohershir) and the faci
was generally known three
weeks before the meeting at
liedmond. No one in this end
of the county questions the
right of the Laidlaw district to
present a candidate for the
office, and if he is nominated
the people of this end of the
county will support mm loy

We call the attention of our
readers to an editorial appear
ing elsewhere 111 these columns
from an Oregon agricultura
paper, regarding the new duty
imposed upon every voter in
the stale by the direct primary
law. The editorial ' is well
worth 3?our careful reading
The great importance of this
new duty imposed upon the
voter by the primary law is too
little understood. Heretofore
1 here has been no opportunity
for the peopfe to express their
choice lor the hierhest onice witti
in the gift of the state, tl1.1t of
United btates benator, and tue
direct pnmar' law provides the
nearest approach to the election
ol United States senators by
the people, possible without
an amendment 01 the federal
Constitution.
The primaries to be held a
week from tomorrow will there
fore be, in a manner, a test of
the plan of the election of
United States senators by the
people. That they use thit
privi ege and use it wisely is,
therefore, important not only
because of ihe influence it will
have upon ihe election of the
next United States Senator, but
in its bearing uptn the impor
tant question of the popular
election of senators. Ihe de
feat of the corrupt and unscrup
uiou8 metli,ods d' which men
of the Jonaihan Bourne, Jr.,
type are seeking to influence
tho expression ot choice 101
United States Senator would bo
a strong argument in favor of
the safety ot entrusting to the
people the election ot then
highest officers by direct vote.
Another splendid thought ad
vanued by the editorial quoted
is that it gives the people a
chance to endorse "a man of
the people" for the highest
office 111 the gift ot the state.
The sirong endorsement of lion.
E. L. Smith, of Hood River, is
unquestionably merited. No
other candidate for fcenutoiial
honors combines in so large a
degree all those qualities and
qualifications which the people
have a right to expect in their
highest representative in the
legislative depariuient of the
government. A man ot the
highf st type, ot unquestioned
honest y, of force and ability
to achieve in whatever direc
tion he Undertakes, a man ac
quainted with (he people's
needs and long identified with
all the forces for tho develop
ment ot the state, and a man ot
fine presence and Comma tiding
personality, Hon. E. L. Smith
should be the people's choice
for United Slates Senator. He
would represent the state with
credit and reliect honor upon
he people whom he represents
