by only 200 votes. 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

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

received a large vote for repre

The nominating piiniaries will

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

manes is just as important as

of good citizenship to assist in
placing the names of good men

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

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."

tbe old road again, iy believer
by the insijoiity of the peoplp
wliq live along said Hue to b
very unjust. For, while there
are only three men who b' this
road .will be materially betielit-
ed, there are nine whom it wil
materially damage. The newly
nroDoeed road parallels the
present road within one-ha
mile for the first mile on the
north end of said road, and that
is getting count' road:? pretty
close ly together
Two of tii$ leading advocates
of the naw load have a public
road running directly in front
!iof their bouses. As to those
who are 'really in ned of
road for an outlet, we believe
that thej' can obtain an outlet
without materially damaging
anyone efee in the way the
izution of taxes, and fair treat- j prefeent proposed road would
do. Many of those who signed
ment to all sections ol the
county. 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. The freighters
tire the ones who have he
greatest trouble upon the roads
in this country, and in conver
sation with one 0 them who
has about lite largest outfit on
the roads, he said "Jf they will
work the roada they have they
will be all right."
Respectfully,
B. S. Cummings.
