ought to go out Into these contested
districts and prove his faith by his

unequivocally for the election of

Having secured the nomination, he
has nothing to say In favor of either

seems to be calculating chances as to
whether he will be more likely to
win with or without the establish
ment of this principle and policy.
In this The Journal thinks Mr.
Cake la making a mistake similar to
that made by Senator Fulton when
he, too, said he , took neither .Bide,
had no advice to give, no opinion to
express. Mr.i Cake then, took the
right side, expressed an opinion, gave
cdvice, urged certain action. The
people were not offended at that, but
liked it, and nominated him. But
what will they think of his throwing
down bis arms,, taming his back on
the battle as soon as he has won a
personal i victory, ; and ; leaving the
cause to take care of Itself? Since

of Oregon appear to be as if stndied
and wanton. How an adminlstra

stndied neglect, and in return expect
Indorsement by the people at voting
time, is unexplalnable. Perhaps the
Washington authorities do not give
whoop, expecting that as usual, Ore

and throw her electoral vote .the
same way.
'' Almost every coast town in Call

honored with a visit from the battle
ship fleet. The magnificent pageant
of naval architecture, the greatest in
all history, was to be had for the
mere asking in California. It Is
privilege of Importance to the people
to be afforded opportunity to wit
ness the splendid spectacle. It . is
one with which Portland people and
Oregon people would have been de
lighted, even to have seen a part of
the battleship contingent. It la an
honor of infinitely greater Import
ance In the extraordinary prestige
and significance Incident to a visit
by the fleet to a state or city. Thus,
all over the world has been or will be
heralded the news of the fleet's visit
to California ports, to Washington
ports, to South American ports, to
oriental ports, but In no language nor
tongue will It be told that Oregon re
ceived a visit, even from a single bat
tleshlp. The effect ia to minimize
us as a state, minimize in as a mar
ltlme factor, minimize our commer
clal reputation, minimize us as a peo
ple, and minimize us in all things In
which we have pride and pleasure.
With anchors weighed, bannem fly
ing and bands playing, this fleet, our
fleet, will sail by Oregon as an in
hospitable shore, will steam past the
mouth of the mighty Columbia, from
which is carried more wheat than
from any other port on the coast, and
nearly as much as from any port on
the planet, and will drop anchor in a
port in the state of Washington. Ore
gon people have ample reason to be
Indignant and full warrant to resent
this last of many slights.
