As the primaries near, the candidates for office "are bobbing up their heads in this ' county thick and furious, and some good ones, too. are coming forth, Jtrom both parties.. Activity is more marked in the ' Republican ranks than In the Demo cratic due to the fact that two papers ure pressing; forward candidates as they announce themselves in that party, while the Democrats are holding back ; until later dates to make a general show .

For some of the offices the Republicans are falling over themselves to secure the nominations, as many as .four and five candidates having been an nounced for a single office. Mitchell and Simon polities do not reach this county, so both parties will go forth with solid party strength for their can didates. . For congress Jefferson Myers seems to be a favorite and the Democrats think that he would, run a close race. The Republicans are speaking mainly for Ringer Herman and Harris of Eugene. Uoth will find support here, but In what .--(lU ATinAt nnw Vw f?trmlnftl. -- A In district matters speculation is rife - pnd even in this county those that have their fences best laid are not sure that they will carry the delegation. W. H. Holmes, R. P. Boise and Mr. Slater are n.entloned for circuit Judges. It is at most certain that Judge Boise will be renominated, as he is liked by the bar. j - There is reported to be a combination between Burnett and Prosecuting Attor ney Hart, but it is not certain that fjther can carry their own full dele-i gation, and as to delivering their v,otes to another it is considered beyond the questibn. Wyatt and McCain, from I.lnn and Yamhill respectively, are be ing considered. If Burnett Is renominated it is men-; ' tinned that W. H. Holmes of Salem may - be put up against him, while Slater and ' Judge Boise are considered as favor ites. Oscar Haytor and Jeffries are . both being thought of and many Republl : cans are trying to get McNary to coma j out' for the office. ' For state senator from Polk county the Democrats .will nominate either J. i G. Van Orsdel or Lee Fenton, if one .-. wtll accept the opening, it is. understood the other will not enter trie field. Both are strong men and it is doubtful if ; they could be beaten. The Republicans have candidates galore. ' J. M. Stark of Independence is an avowed . candidate ana win poii some aitrengtn; just now 1 much Is not yet determined D. I -Keyt of Dallas was mentioned as a pos sibility, but it is understood that he has lefused to be considered. The fight will be between B. C. Klrkpatrick and U. 8. Iaughery of Dallas. Laughery lust an nounced himself last week, and his can didacy 1s gaining ground very rapidly. For representative. I. M. Simpson of Alrlle made a successful member of the . legislature from this county last term. and it is thought that he will have a ' good show for se-election If renominated, which is considered probable. " His oppo nent will like'ly be J.jB. Cooper of In dependence, the present mayor,, of the icity.'a Republican. v Tf;rf, , .for Joint representative.no candidate ,is at present announced,- but favor is looked upon J. O. Van OrsdeJ of Dallas, if Henton should run for state senator, and vice versa. Ex-Representative Jones .of Lincoln is considered by the Republicans. wwwww ...

It ought' to be the ambition of all of ficeholders, to conduct official business ns their own. ' This has been done by J. P. Finloy, county coroner. . The books of the county auditor disclose the fact that the expense of the coroner's- office Jn 1900 was $4,619; in. 1901, $4,830; in 1901. $3,077; and 1903. $1,983. Coroner Klnley took office July 7, 1902. Had his term begun on January l. lt is not likely, that the expense of that year would have been more than $2,000, as - the preceding administration contracted for more than half of the bill of that year.- ' U' F'n,ejr ha" hen Indefatigable in his efforts to cut down the usual1 charges against that branch of the "ounty government, and how well he has succeeded is shown in the annual re- iort the county auditor will make. Time was when inquests were held on , the body of every, person- passing sud denly away, but thjs has not been the case with Mr. Finley. He must first be satisfied that there is reasonable cause to believe that foul play engen dered death before a Jury will be em- .paneled, thus effecting a great saving in that respect And he owns his own morgue,1 has his own ambulances, teams titnd men, so that the , greatest economy may be had in this way. Again, he Is a man of ripe experience, good Judg ment and thoroughly understands his business. He Is a man of honor and a 'good citizen as men of honor always V CITIZEN.

INFORMATION FOR VOTERS Brief Summary of Issues to Be Decided Tomorrow Why Both Sides Want to Win at the Primaries Tomorrow. For days the Independent and Regular Republicans have been hurling argu ments back and forth. From this mass of matter the following facts are. set forth ijTor the guidance of voters: Both factions are Republicans. Both favor Roosevelt and are in accord on all principles of national policy. The' contest tomorrow is to decide which wing shall control the party in Oregon. The wing which polls the greater number of votes will become by law the "Regular" branch of the party. The Independents will be the "Regulars" If they win the primaries, and will con trol the coming county convention. The county convention will nominate five holdover senators, who will take part in the- election of a United States sena tor to succeed Senator Mitchell. If the present Regulars, better known as the Matthews-Carey machine, win, these holdover senators will be- expected to vote for Senator Mitchell, providing that he retains nis health. Judge Carey has Intimated that Mr. Mitchell may not feel physically able to undertake an other term, in which case the machine will probably try to elect "Jack" Mat thew's friend, C. H. Carey, to the Uni ted States senate. The Independents, on the other hand. are pledged to no man for the United States senate, and will endeavor only to select a man Whose aouitles and repu tation will do credit to the Republican party and good to Oregon. The Mat thews-Carey politicians have alleged that the Independents would elect Joseph Simon. This statement Is both false ar.d absurd, as Simon has. repeatedly stated in public In the most empha'tlo manner that under no possible circumstances would he allow himself to be voted for. If the Regulars win- they will choose W. A. Storey for sheriff. The , Inde pendents think that Storey is" extrava gant Incompetent and corrupt If they win the primaries the convention will not nominate Storey, but will choose one of several independent men who are can didates for the position. The Independents favdr a free and open convention where1 the best candi dates will win. The Matthews-arey machine, on the other hand, has already made out Its slate, selected its various candtjates and will force their delegates to ratify them merely as a matter of form, as they did at the last conven tion. Should the "Regular" ticket win at the primaries tomorrow, the machine will be in control of the city of Port land, and after Mayor Williams retires next year, will elect some tool of Mat thews to the mayoralty, and proceed to run the city upon the corrupt, piratical and extravagant lines which have raised the taxes from 28 mills, or $1,300,000, in 1901. to 40 mills, or $2,000,000, this year. . , Should the llidependents' win tomorrow they will endeavor to eliminate grafts from the city engineer's ofllce and other departments and will restore the reason able tax levies of former years. The present 40 mill tax has undoubt edly provoked the hostility of many tax payers to the present administration. . Largely increased state appropriations add to the dissatisfaction of taxpayers.
