Comments Frprn the Country Press THE country weeklies maintained a lively interest in the 'primary election, but in the case of many of them the in - terest seemed to be largely in the amount of advertising rev , enue that might accrue. Many refrained from making any comments as to the character of the candidates before the Election ; and do not even come forward with any: editorial reviews after the election has been held. The Woodburn In dependent and Mt. Angel News are not in this category how- ever, for they do not hesitate to carry opinions as well as advertising. The Gervais Star and Hubbard Enterprise also are forthright in their utterances; but this time Doc Riley who piloted the Scherpmg ship into deep waters is too full for political utterances after the election is over. The Woodburn Independent sees a house-cleaning at the court house in the defeat of John Porter for commissioner .and of Allan Carson for district attorney. A decisive part of the vote, thinks the Independent "was cast in protest against tilings as they are". - The Independent appraises Hawleys defeat thus: "He failed to sense the new currents that had set in Oregon's po litical waters". It hopes "Mott will represent us better than Mr. Hawley has done"; and citing that Mott employed his wife as secretary during the legislature, expresses hope that he will not "let himself in for a political scandal- as Hawley ' has done." The Gervais Star thinks the voters kept their feet on the ground pretty well "no radical change such as took place two years ago". It claims a score of 666 per cent in its sup port of candidates, "and it would have been 1000 per cent if v Milt Scherping had been known to down state voters." The Star thinks the state treasurer Is "far too big for the office he is seeking" ; and that is the only fly in the ointment for that paper. The Mount Angel News was loyal to the hop-growers ticket but it observes: "Candidates backed by the Hop Growers in the state repre sentative race did not (are bo well, which Indicates that Marion county is still far from 'dripping wet.' Salem, In particular, was , as dry as the proverbial bone on the Sahara desert in the mid " die of the good old summer time." " The News concludes that the election shows that the people are thinking about politics, with some inclination to "upset the old apple-cart" which it regards as a "good sign' CHAFTEK WO STT-THREB , tJtw Tms" mA' dorvn the letter J She thought of TJacle Eph, brosraj and'miucalar and youne, in spite j of hia 69 yean, saa naa always i admired TJaela Eph, fliouffa -the! faa&Ujr hadat thought m amostnted to much, & admired his iade- peadaaea, au dotns; aa as liked, and no carina; whether paopla in town thought mneh of hba er not.
