RESULTS The return from newspaper advertising are invariably commtn Jttrate with the publicity obtained throuRh the particular medium. The testimony of scores of Portland advertisers to the superior value of THe journal in reaching the homes is a good proof that this paper is the popular paper of the misses as well as the classes. No better test can be made than to advertise some household ccAnmodity in the press and watch results. The Journal gives positive proof of its superiority because it enjoys the greatest circulation in Tottland and in Oregon. WHAT THEY SAY Portland, Oregon, Sept. 23. 1908. . - ' - Mr. Bell's estimate of the sit uation: . President Roosevelt's Inordi nate vanity has prompted him to inject himself Into the campaign Just at this time. From now on it will be Roose velt to the forefront and Taft In the background. Practically, Roosevelt is running for presi dent, not Taft. Why doesn't Taft defend him self? He is the candidate, not Roosevelt. Why did not Taft produce his famous letter repudiating For aker when it was written? Why did he "make up" with Foraker after he had written-the letter? How do.es Roosevelt happen to have the letter written by Taft to a friend Jn another state, at Oyster Bay? is he the guardian of Taft's correspondence, as well as of his campaign? Why doesn't Roosevelt show Haskell to be wrong. He might have dissolved the oil company Injunction and .'till have been right.-' J Theodore A.
