He is his own platform, as has been many times demonstrated by him as exec utlve of the state. All the powers at his command will be thrown in opposition to those Oregon once more spawning ground of sinister and shameless politics. It is exsctly the situation in which men of his type can be of Infinite service to the peo ple of the state. He has powers of leadership beyond those of most men, and has the unbounded confidence of the peopje. He Is close to the masses, and In many an emergency has proven his unquestioned loyalty to them.

If so, any on o can see of what Immense importance it will be. It may be the strongest finger of afist that will break the Harriman grip. If, as alleged, "large numbers" of Democrats are registering as Repub licans, why don't the Republicans kindly reciprocate, and register as Democrats? The Republicans are certainly in a large majority, and they can thusieasily beat the horri ble Democrats at their own game. Let the Republicans who have not yet registered register as Democrats, and In the primaries nominate say Bunko Kelly for senator. This would fix the Democrats "plenty." A Good Old World.
