Asldund, Ore., Thursday, Nov. 2, '16 rROGRESvSIVE AND DOMINANT. The republican party has been re formed. When the republican con vention convened In 1912 it was dominated by the old reactionary ele ment like the Penroses and Barnes. Not so in 1916. The reactionaries were beaten In the national republi can organization and the national committee is now composed of pro gressive republicans. CharleH Evans Hughes, while not leaving the party in 1912, was recognized as not less progressive than Roosevelt or La Follette. He stood (or reform within the party rather than (or a new party. Because his public acts an! administration had been consistently along progressive reform lines his candidacy (or president was stoutly demanded by the progressives both of the Bull Moose and regular repub lican tvpe, and because he had not le(t the party In the 1912 spilt he vu nccpiitBliln to the old liners. As It now stands, the republican party is reformed, with a reform candi date and united party support, and there is no reason why any republi can should fall to vote bis ticket at the coming election. One by one republican organiza tions of the states are being taken over by the progressives. Hiram Johnson, candidate (or vice-president on the progressive ticket with Roose relt in 1912, is the candidate the united republican party of Califor nia for United States senator in 1916. The reactionaries of that state fought hard for control, but the rank and file were progressive and euccessfully held up Governor John eon against their assaults in the pri mary, and at the last state conven tion took over the organization lock, stock and barrel. Reactionary re publicanism in California is dead. Registration in Oregon shows two to one republican majority over the democrats. It has stood that way for years, yet democrats have been frequently elected by republican votes. Republican disaffection has not only been voiced in the defeat of republican candidates for governor and lesser offices, but has reached a climax In the election of two demo cratic United States senators. Where such disaffection appears a deep reason exists'. In Oregon it lies in the fact that the party organization had fallen Into the hands of reac tionaries out of touch with the sen timents and principles of the rank and file. And the feeling against such domination, prior to this cam paign, was so deep that the rank and ASHLAND LUMBER COMPANY Dealers In LUMBER Shingles, Lath, Sash. Doors. Roofing Papers.

Every nominee is a high-class citi zen, experienced and peculiarly fit ted for the office for which he stands. There is no reason why every republican should not be glad these same politicians were abusing him as a coward and a craven. The president admits to having a single-track mind, and his recent ac tion shows that he also possesses a non-arbitrable mind. Phone job orders to the Tidings.

The undersigned having been re quested by many citizens to give pub lic expression of our opinion on the Pendleton Normal School initiative measure, we wish to say that it is our Judgment that this bill should receive the usual overwhelming vote that Jackson county and Southern Oregon has always cast for all edu cational and progressive measures. Wo havo given the entire state of Oregon a continuous and careful study and we feel that the people as a whole are steadily getting a better understanding of the real need of trained teachers, and we believe that the desire of the people of Eastern Oregon to secure a normal school should receive our encouragement and co-operation. Jackson county has an unbroken record for support ing educational measures. It would be inconsistent for Southern Oregon to fall to appreciate the needs of tha children of the state even though Eastern Oregon he far removed from our knowledge and observation.

Dear Sir: To your request as to how I am finding the County books, cn my present examina tion, I will say your office is in excellent condition. You have turned over to the treasurer regularly all the receipts of the office. I can say that your office is conduct ed as well as any office in the state which I examine, last year twelve counties, and mnrh better than most Clerk's offices. Al- installed several methods of work in your office which make for economy, and for more efficiency. The Sheriff's office as far as examined, is being conducted in the same methodical way. The deposits of tax collections, as far as examined, have been made regularly, and exactly as collected. I am proud of the record of Jackson County. It proves the benefit of periodical audits, better than any other county in my field. Yours truly, " J. H.
