Oregon City Man Elected
Fifth Time Despite Non
partisan Sympathy
RESOLUTIONS PUT OFF
Action on Important Meas
ures Will Take Place at
f Session Today
C. E. Spence, of Oregon City, has
been elected to serve his fifth con-
secultive term as master of the Ore
gon State Grange. Not even a close
race was given Mr. Spence b? his
opponent. J. J. Johnson, of Portland,
notwithstanding Spence's stout de
fense of the Non-Partisan league,
which many delegates predicted
would bring his defeat. He received
70 votes to 39 cast for Johnson.
The election of officers took place
Wednesday 'nieht. but results were
not announced to the State Grange
and made public until 10: 3C a. m.
yesterday.
Itig Vote Is Surprt."e.
The big vote given Spence was
particularly surprising for the rea
son that the last action of the con
vention, before voting on officers,
was the passage 'of a resolution re
fusing to allow the Oregon Grange
to combine with the Non-Partisan
league, with which Spence is In
strong sympathy.
Johnson's -defeat is attributed to
the fart that he is a lawyer. Many
delegates were heard to say they
conld see no reason why a farmers
organization should have an attorney
at Its head.

The Americans are like tigers. Their commanders have all they

The aooreclatlon shown by thei
shoppers at last year's Bargain Day
assures the success of Salem's Sec
ond Annual Bargain Day to be held
Saturday, June 15.
The constantly increasing whole
sale cost of merchandise caused the
merchants to feel a sort of reluctance
toward holding a Bargain Day this
ear. They realized that to replace
the goods which will be sold on
Barraln Day they will In many in
stances have to pay a wholesale price
higher than that received from the
Bareain Day shoppers. v
However, so many requests for a
repetition of Bargain Day came pour
ing in from residents all over the
country that the wish of the public
has prevailed aad practically all the
orojcressive merchants or baiem win
offer special Inducements on this day
of all days for economical buying.
This action on the part of the mer
chants should be appreciated for they
are really making a big sacrifice in
reducing prices at this time.
It is a generally recognized fact
that all kinds of merchandise can
be purchased right . now in Salem
at a price that is considerably lower
than is charged In otae- commun
ities. The further reductions that
will prevail on. Bargain Day will
make It an event that the buyers can-
