POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, hARING END; RIVAL TICKETS OFFERED VOTERS AT PRIMARY , a 1 One of the most heated and' unusu- STUDEBAKER FIRST urn sif al political campaigns, in the history i of Umatilla county will come to a! head Friday when the voters will ex press their choice as to party nomi nees. Today politics is the general subject of conversation. .Old political connections have been broken and in numerous ways the present campalgu is in a class by itself. There Is much activity over the re publican nomination for governor. An effort has been made to align y is ! often called the old . guard forces back of Olcott though but a few dv ..... ov r- ircl M"c'' Olcott had out time supon UUIMt Dl rLAmtOl from that quarter.' However, there J are reports that many of the workers for Patterson, Bean et at refuse to uc delivered. There are also reports of voters having switched from Olcott to Hall. The usual prediction how ever, is that Olcott will carry the county. This is a guess that may be badly upset, of course. The race is evidently between Olcott and Hall. In the congress'onal campaign Gwlnn forces aro confident of carry ing this county toy a heavy vote and if they do so the local man's chalices for the nomination will be bright as: this is fur the heaviest . voting county In the district Gwlnn tnen also predict great strength for him elsewhere. "Patrlotlo Ticket" Appears ' A featuro of the campaign today has been the appoarance of the ticket , supported by the Oregon Federation of Patriotic societies.

There are 10 candidates' seeking the nominations: of the two parties for gubernatorial honors, and u candidate for congress from this us-1 trlct will also be named. In the 64 precincts - of Umatilla county the polls will be open from 8 o'clock In the morning until 8 o'clock In the evening. Owing to tho fact that the single board is the rule In Uma tilla county the counting of the ballots will not begin until tho polls are clos ed. .'

Mr. Gwlnn Is now in Klamath Falls and la not available Jb personally answer this charge, but all who know him and his record for honesty and fair deal ing condemn this story as campaign tactics of tho worst type. ' It is charged Gwlnn as ugent re- quested a partial payment on a pro. nilsory note signed by John Brad bum of Pilot Rock and given to one Miller In a land deal In which it Is said there was a failure of consider ation on the note. Any atorney or agent who handles collections knows there is nothing Immoral about writ ing to a party who has placed hit signature on an obligation -Hn) de nandlng.pii.vj-inf. llt-ui- not .and nolo" uiu dees ' know the previous his tory of the obligation or the consid eration therefor. Reputable attorneys would scarcoly desire to bj bound to the high standard of conduct de manded In the Tribune story. The supporters ot Mr- Blnnott are apparently at a loss for material for campaign purposes. It must indeed have been a terrible blow to their hopes when they discovered I hut the much ' advertised endorsement of the allied patriotic 'societies Includes the names of such men as Chief Justice llurnett and Associate Justice John McCourt of tha Oregon - Supreme Court. Either these upright judges, who are well known In this commu nity knew of this endorsement or (hey did not know It. With this choice . we also leave the Invisible "committee" us to James Jt. Gwlnn. It does not, however, prove that any ono of those gentlemen or their sup porters are rellglous-ractat fanatics. It Is.upparent also that the "coitir mittee and their supporters are having difficulty In their own ranks over the tost of republicanism that they have Imposed. .' Did the invis ible "committee" first endorse Eber- liard and then fling liim overboard because he did" not denounce 'the Klan? It so did this failure on his part make, him any tho loss a man or a republican 7 Must one hearken to the "committee" evcn after elec tion? ' "i , . " t ' ., '''i Notwithstanding that Frank Sloan's name still appears In the printed en dorsement, are the members of the" "committee", and their followers still supporting him? If not, is it because he fulled to denounce the Klan or h fulled to foljow the committee's be hest In some other matter? Is It not also a fact that numbers of the committee ot republicans and their supporters have been, and many ure now, waging a vigorous campaign for the nomination ot Patterson for governor? Is It not also a fact that Patterson has failed to denounce tho allied patriotic societies and Is widely reported as having sought their en dorsement? . -, ,'- These questions are asked because lit. is believed they throw light upon the campaign against Gwlnu and up on the sincerity of I hose who propose the denunciation of the Ku' Klux Kluii us the test of party loyalty. .
