Register adds: "This Is the exact po

party leaders, like SetiaMr Mitchell,
are said to be in line for the Astoria

Secretary Root had to say cf the na
tional issues involved In the present
campaign. It Is merely a question as
to whether or not the administra
tion of President Roosevelt is to be
upheld. Roosevelt stsnls for all that
the needs of good government require.
He has repeatedly announced bis p
proval of tariff reform thit would af
ford protection to the consumer, and
has taken steps to cnrla'.l the en
croachments of the trusts. - In fact.
his policies embody all that la needed
to rectify those wrongful conditions
grabbers but say the vrord. With a
few colonies on her hands like Ireland
and the Transvaal, however, England
may learn the lesson that Rome learn
d too late, and the world will be bet
ter off. The condition of the people
of a republic is not bettered when they
are forced into subjugation by a king
dom. The crushing of the Bo:rs was
a universal calamity, and their present
pitiful condition will arouse the sym
pathy of the liberty-loving people of
the world.
now existing. He has called forth the

and has been assured of the republican
nomination in 194. It is merely a mat

approval of his course. A democratic
victory in New York will be a direct
thrust at the president.
Says the Florence West: "In re
jrard to the question as to who is to
be chosen senator, the claim is made
in certain quarters that because In the
June election Geer received more votes
than Wood he Is the choice of the peo
ple of the state for that office. This
Is claiming altogether more than the
vote showed. In the first place Geer's
name was put on the ticket by petition
and not by the republicans or the state.
In the second place, many who voted
for Geer did so merely to express their
preference for him over Wood, and be
wail ?e he was the only republican
whose name appeared on the ticket as
a candidate for that office. The result
does not show that Geer Is the choice
of the people of Oregon for senator,
but merely that they preferred Geer
to Wood. In fact, we believe that C.
W. Fulton is the choice of the major
ity of the citizens of Oregon for United
States senator and we hope to see him
The Tacoma Ledger says! It would
not be a surprising circumstance if
Harriman were to try to increase the
volume of Oriental commerce through
Portlanl. However, the rumor that
he will do this by means of steamers
of the tonnage of the Hill line is non
sense. Such steamers could no more
get to Portland than they could to
Denver.
The Oregonian thinks it quite a joke
that The Astorian and the Hillsboro
Argus should Impute to It a policy fav
orable to an extra session, while th
Eug?ne Journal and Salem Journal
should figure out that it is opposed to
the session. Well. It Is a good Joke;
but the joke Is on the esteemed Oiv
gonian. Its attitude is pretty much a
Chinese puzzle.
The Taxpayers' league of Portland
has filed with Governor Geer a p ti
tion for the convenlnig of the legisla
ture in extra session. It is now up
to the governor tu do a little filing
himseif.
Of course, Booth of Lane is not a
senatorial candidate. Mr. Booth knows
of a candidate, however, who is worth
elected to that office by the legislature working for, and he will support C.
