Congressman W. R EIIIb of the
caHtern Oregon or second district, who
has ably served his district In the
past two years, is a candidate for re
election and needs no Introduction to
the people of this district. For the
past quarter of a century he has been
prominently identified with the de
velopment und public affaliB of Uma
tilla und Morrow counties and has
made a record both as u private citi
zen and public offlclul of which him
self and his friends may well be
proud.
Congressman Ellis Is one of the
prominent westerners now serving In
congress and takes an active and ef
fective part in national legislation.
He - has hosts of friends among the
members of congress, many of whom
served with him In his former ser
vice in that body and who cooperate
lu-artlly with him in his efforts to
i.ecure legislation for Oregon and the
northwest.
ho Is Intimately familiar with the
needs and requirements of eastern
Oregon. He Is personally acquainted
in every every part of the state and
knryvs what Is required to assist In
the development of the great central
Oregon district.
All this experience is worth dol
lars and cents to the people of the
district who wish results. The sal
ury or a congressman is now $7500
per year and It is unprofitable to
send a new man to represent the
state every session. With Congress
man Ellis now In the harness and at
his post of duty looking out for the
Interests or the state,, the people of
this district will vote for their own
Interests by giving Congressman Ellis
the nomination for another term.

Newspapers throughout the state,
with few exceptions, are earnestly
advocating the nomination of Mr.
Cake The people throughout the
state Who believe In the popular elec
Hon of senators and In the overthrow
of the old machine system, are also
urging his nomination.
.Mr. Cake was born 50 years ago in
Ohio. He has practiced law in this
state for over 20 years and has
achieved a position of preeminence
in his profession Ills record is not
a political one, but he has always
been n loyal republican. For several
years he was president of the Port
land Commercial club, and Is tho.
originator of the Oregon Develop
ment league. In the position of pres
ident of the Commercial club, he was
In close touch with all sections of
the state and probably knows the
needs of Oregon better than any oth
er individual.
He is not a politician and has nev
er held public office, but he is the
type of man to whom the people of
Oregon should look nt this time when
our state needs federal aid so sorely.
It in generally conceded that his
nomination Is certain for. the reason
I that his only opponents are' the rem
nants of that old machine system
whlchjthe peoplo of Oregon have de
termined to abolish forever, 'i
There Is only one action In Oregon
that Is trying to prevent the election

POFIXAR LEGISLATOR UP
FOR RE-ELECTION
Hon. C. A. Rarrett, Candidate for Reelection as Kcnrc-ft-ixative to the Leg
islature from Umatilla County.
He has large landed interests la
this county, some of which comprise
1 the very best wheat land in the Athe
na and Weston district. His stock
farm on Pine creek, 10 miles north
of Athena, comprising about 2000
acres, is well stocked and equipped
(or the raising and handling of both
horses and cattle.
Mr. Barrett is one of the large tai
pajers of the county, 1b enterprising
and takes ah interest in all matters
pertaining to improvement of all
kinds. .
He was for many years a director
and large stosqholder in the First
National Bank of Athena, and was the
hank's first president.
Mr. Barrett has been a consistent
and hard-working republican and be
lieves in republican principles. His
candidacy for renomlnatlon as rep
resentative in 1 legislature meets with
much favor. His wide acquaintance
and well known fitness for the posi
tion he seeks makes him a formida
ble candidate.
Mr. Barrett Is a firm believer in the
direct primary law and indorses state
ment No. 1. His nomination at the
primaries will secure his . election as
he has served one term In the legis
lature and is able to work for the
people in an able manner on account
of his experience.
Mr. Barrett has Just been reelected
president of the Inland Empire

Mr. Cake Is on ardent supporter of

their right to elect their own senators.
Ho Is an admirer of President Koose-velt-
and believes that the continua
tion, of his policies Is to the best in
terests of the people and especially
to the people of Oregon.
His platform clearly outlines his
position on the various important
questions (if the day It is of espe
cial Interest at this time and portions
of It follow:
"At no time in the history of this
state 1ms there been so urgent a need
of the attention and vigorous effort
of a loyal citizenship in the promo
tion of its Interests. As a state, we
are -upon the threshold of a groat
growth, of an era of expansion along
commercial and Industrial lines wlth-
by nniklng all oflcluls responsible for
the administration of their ofices di
rectly to the people.
"I endorse statement No. 1 because
experience has shown the old method
of election of Vnlted States senators I of his time ami has built up a large
and remunerative business.
C. A. Barrett of Athena, was born
in Sumner, Oxford county, Maine,
June 21, 1852.
His early life was spent on a farm
and at the age of 18 years he left
home, went to Massachusetts and se
cured a situation in a shoe factory,
where he learned the different
branches of the manufacture of
shoes. At the end of two years he
decided to abandon the shoe trade
and having heard of Oregon and the
west, decided to try his luck in the
far away Oregon. Not having suffi
cient funs to make the trip, he se
cured a loan of $150, and at the age
of 20 years started for Oregon by way
oi ban trancisco and by steamer to
Portland, thence by river boat to
Umatilla landing, then by stage to
Weston, arriving at his destination

cent sum of $6 In his pocket, a stran
ger in a strange land and 14 inches
of snow on the ground.

business on Wild Horse creek, near
Where the town of Adams now stands.
Here he worked for six years with
scarcely any loss of time. The first
money earned went to repay the $150
borrowed to come to the country. By
close attention to work and saving
his earnings he soon had sufficient
funds t0 buy a few hundred sheep. He
then engaged in the sheep business
and this business he continued for a"
number of years.
In June, 1S84. he engaged In the
hardware and Implement trade at
Centervllle (now Athena) to which
occupation he will devote a portion
to be unsatisfactory! Under such
method, for more than 40 years, such
Influences have affected the election
of United States senators In Oregon
that hut few have been chosen until
the lust moments of the legislative
sessions. The deals and deadlocks
(saying nothing of fraud and corrup
tion) Incident to the election of sen
ators In Oregon, have absorbed the
time and attention of state legisla
tures to the disgrace of the state, the
detriment of the people and the ne
glect of needed legislation.

of the ejection of United States sena
