At tlmt time he curried Multnomah coiinty by lSdd majority and t his district by abdut 2000. Multnomah county concedes the representative to eastyrn Oie gon, since both senatoro tire from the western part of the district, and advices indicate that Mr. Geer's vote there this time will be larger than ever. He understands the wants of eastern Oregon, especially on the irrigation and public land questions, having lived here for 12 years ol his life, and will make a very active and efllcient member of congress. He lias many friends in Crook couuty who are working for his nom ination. Victim of technical erfJor Because of an $rsiht in the verification of one 10I' his nomin ating petitions, the name of Dr. U. C. (Joe will not appear on the ballot as u candidate for joint representative from the twenty first representative district The Wror was made in one of the Lake county petitions, and while a ..purely teclmit al one. the Secretary of Suite ruled the petition out as it did noi com ply ith the primaiy taw. The law requires that the petition be verified bv one-of the signers of the petition, but there is noth ing in'the form of the' aflida- vit attached to petitions which indicates, this fact. Dr. Coe's petition was verified by the per son who. had circulated it and who was qualified to certify to the correctness of the namws and addresses given, but be- nniiRti his nn-n timi ivms nnfr rwi the petition it was ruled oiw.j The law is surety defective and J weak in this particular, as the person who circulates the peti tion is certainty the best quali lied person to certify to its cor rectnesa, even though he might not be qualified to sign it as a petitioner. The failure of Dr. Coe to get his name upon the petition is generally regretted in this conn , ty, where he was certain to have received a large vote for repre sentative.

The nominating piiniaries will be held throughout the county on Fridu' of next week, April 17, and voters should turn out in force and help nominate ood men tor the vaiious offices to be tilled. Participation in the pii manes is just as important as voting in. the general election in June, for it is one of the duties of good citizenship to assist in placing the names of good men upon the ballot to be voted on next June. Turn out to the pii manes next mictuv, ior on a number of the most important state-nnd county offices the pri maries will be the deciding contest. Kutcher precinct, with 195 registered voters, is an attract ive field for the various candi dates for county offices, and the will be quite numerously in ev idence here for the next week. With 14'J of these voters Repub lican, this precinct holds espe cial attractions for the candi dates seeking that party's nomination. REGARDING PROPOSED ROAD The voters of Crook county have in the candidacy of Mr. II. C. Ellis of Bend, an oppoitnni ty to elect as their county judge, a capable, fair minded business ma'n, who is in all re spects free from any influence of the old regime in county pol itics, and who will give all sec tions of the county a clean, .eco nomical and businesslike ad ministration of county affairs. That is the manner of man and kind of an administration the county needs. By refusing to do the bidding of certain Prine ville men, who sought to pltdge him to cany on their policies, Mr. Ellis lost the support of those particular Prineville pa triots, but his -independent and manly attitude has gained friends for him in all sec tions of the county. Mr. Ellis has declared himself in favor of 1 good schools, good roads, equal Popular Senatorial Candlrinto In spite of the efforts of the old ma chine nnd representatives of certain bitf "mists'1 to accomplish his defeat, tlie nom ination of H, M Cake, champion, of state ment No t, for United States Senator on April 17, is generally conceded through out the state. It is predicted in Portland that he will carry Multnomah county by between 5opo and 6000. With few ex ceplfons, the newspapers of the state have ralheu loyally to Mr. Cake's support. In urging his nomination, the Folk County Observer says: "Hon, H. M. Cake is making a creditable campaign and his nmuiiiaiion, never seriously in doubt, is now practically assured by a rousing ma juity. Enthusiastic crowds have Hocked Id hear hun on his trip through Southern Oregon and his tour of Eastern Oregon where he has always been strong with the voters, promises to be in the nature of a triumphal march. Mr. Cake is making a clean, dignified campaign, free from per sonality or abuse and is earnestly advo catiog the principles he believes to be right. He is an able, effective speaker who makes no attempt nt high flown ora lory, but takes the people into his confi dence and has a quiet heart to-heart talk with them on the important issues now before the people of the state and nation, the most effective oratory, by the way, that can be indulged in by any public speaker in this practical age. He dodges no issues, straddles no questions, but frankly discusses every subject in a man ner that leaves no doubt in any mind as" to its sincerity. In Mr, Cake the people feel they have a man in whom they can trust; one who would represent them hon orably and fearlessly in the nation's high est law making body. The 600 or less votes which he lacked in the entire stale for the senatorial nomination two years ago, will be made up to him this time by the voters of Oregon,. with a few thousand more thrown in for good measure."

For, while there are only three men who b' this road .will be materially betielit- ed, there are nine whom it wil materially damage.

That is all any seclion of thej county lias a right to de mand, and the fact that a cer rain Prineville clique demanded more than that shows how little lKigard they have for other sec tions of the county. As the primaries approach itl becomes more certain' thai ex Governor Geer will receive the liepublican nomination for con erress in this district. His ex tended acquaintance with the j people and experience in the state's affairs, from his service in the legislature during four N i terms lo tlie clijef executive of iiqo for four years, easily places him in the lead of his competi tors for the position. Mr. Geer 4 carried Crook county two years ago for governor but missed the the petition doubtless did not know how much the proposed road would 'discommode some of the settlers.
