' FULTON IS THE MAN. 4
Eugene Register. Again we are on
tiie .threshold of another senatorial
election, -i Th people at the atate are
anxious that the needful legislation be
not blocked by a., Ion drawn out con
test over the senatorshlp, much less do
they want to see a deadlock such as
occurred at last session. For years
there has been more or less factional
struggle in the republican rDks In the
state and the senatott&l fight is usually
the basil of tontinued division in the
ranks.
At ths last republican state con
vention, eastern Oregon made a clam
orous demand for the candidate for
governor, pledging the party that if
given the ca-idiAa'.s that section would
rally to his supptrt. Since eastern
Oregon had not been honored for years
with the governorship, their demands
were acceded to and Mr. Furnish was
nominated, although Mr. Geer urged
his claims for another term, yet with
out success.
Toe result of that election is still
fresh in the public mind. Mr; Furn
ish " as defeated end eastern Oregon
counties that were strongly republican
nd that should have stood by an east
of the mountains man cast their votes
against him. Mr. Geer and his follow
ers, smarting under failure of the gov
ernor to receive a renominating con
tributed what ihey could to Furnish's
defeat in western Oregon. Not satis
fied with this. Mr. Geer proceeded up
on jetitto.i to make himself a candi
dal for Unltsd States senator, his
name appearing on the ballot in oppo
sition to C. E. S. Wood, democrat, at
the June elation. '," The result of that
vo't is also well known, tiers being
no republican opposition to Mr. Geer
simply because it was thought beet to
let him rua the gauntlet nd c4rryut
a plan that would not materially affect
the selection of the right man for sen
ator when the right , time arrived.
More thai .hat, it was supposed that
allowing Gert to carry out his pet
scheme would appease bis wrath at
not being renominated for governor
and would tend to abate his opposition
to Fu'nhh, which, however, it appar
ently did not do.
But the time is past for quibbles over
past elitUons. Neither the people nor
the politicians want a long drawn out
contest over the senatorshlp at this
Hie secret
Of womanly health would be esteemed
is priceless by thousands of suffering
women. Each month sees them moan
big iu a darkened room. At the best
Uiey endnre pain every day. . At the
wont the pain becomes torment
The secret of womanly health is In
keeping the womanly organism in a per
fectly healthy state. This can be done
by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It regulates the periods, dries
debilitating drains, heals inflammation
and ulceration, snd cures female weak
ness, it makes weak women strong and
sick women well.
Women suffering from chronic forms
of disease are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as sacredly confidential and
womanly confidences are guarded by
trict professional privacy. Address Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buflalo, N. Y.
Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. There is noth
ing else "just ss good" for womanly
ailments.

all sids can flock and give, in his elec
tion, entir satisfaction to the state. C.
W. Fulton is larger and broader than
party factions, and all will agree that
he is bettor qualified for senator than
any other man yot named for the posi
tion. NORTHWEST PRESS
Eugene Register: Fulton will go
Into the race with nearly enough votes
to elect him on first ballot. He had
ha well be chosen on the first ballot as
on the last ballot, and better, for then
the legislature can attend to other mat
ters for which it was elected. There
will be no deadlock unless the Geer
contingent is strong enough to block
the way and hinder needful legislation.
Cathlamet Breese: If women must
wear plumes why not confine them to
the ostrich which survives the opera
tion and the barnyard cock that makes
such fine pie? Let the song birds and
wedding dresses of our other birds
alone. Women are supposed to have
hearts, but the evidence points to the
fact that their love of finery is stronger
than their love of nature.
Post-Intelligencers An advantage of
the present alliance between Germany
and Great Britain, in attacking Vene
suela, lies in the fact that each Is en
abled to disclaim responsibility for any
unnecessarily harsh and aggressive ac
tions, laying it all on the "wicked
partner," as they are both doing.
Oregon Journal: Taklma has a sens
ible woman. Being invited by a young
preacher to go to Spokane and commit
suicide with him, she sent an attorney
to represent her. The lawyer refused
to take the suicide route,' but It show
ed the woman's heart was In the right
place.-
