Hope Springs Eternal
Democratic hopes are high just now-perhaps we should say
tne nopes 01 tne democratic candidate for governor, for since
he surrendered to the Ku Kluxefs and endorsed the school
monopoly bill, there is no democratic party in Oregon this
campaign but democratic hopes are always highest 30 days
before election. It is well they should be, for if a democrat
wasn t en optimist, there wouldn t be any party. Democrats
are sJ accustomed to being defeated, that they cannot com
prehend how any candidate would be immoral enough to
;jv i i t i a i j
eacriiice immortal democratic principles ior a mere oince,
at the behest of Klansmen, Kitesmen, Orangemen or any
other faction of fanatics. 1 .
Since 1890, only two democrats have carried the state for
governor, ueorge unamoeriain ana Uswald West- Wo demo
cratic candidate for governor has carried it since 1910. Only
two democrats sinr-p 1879 Viava haon cAnMaA tn ha TTtiitn1
States senate, George E. Chamberlain and Harry Lane, the
lauer tnrougn tne split in tne republican ranks caused by a
third candidate. The last democrat to be elected secretary
of state was S. F. Chadwick, elected in 1874. The only dem
ocratic state treasurer ever elected was G. W. Webb, elected
in 1886. The only democrat ever elected attorney general
was George E. Chamberlain in 1892- There never has been
a democrat elected state school superintendent, nor to any
other state office than those named above.
Chamberlain who busted the republican spell once for
attorney-general, twice for governor, twice for senator was
himself defeated for re-election two years ago, despite his
wide popularity and his excellent record. West who refused
to be a candidate for re-election as governor, was defeated
for the senate four years ago, and in the same election,
Walter Tierce also met defeat a3 democratic nominee for
governor. If Chamberlain could not poll enough votes to
be elected, is there anv chance for Pinrro i
trade of old-line democratic support for the "100 percent
patriots t
Many years ago, Oregon was a democratic state but "them
days is gone forever" we fear, unless the democratic candi
dates remain faithful to democratic principles. For the past
forty years there has been a nfparlv infiuv nf irmn!rr.(inn
from republican states which still continues to swell the
republican vote. Despite hopes to the contrary, the aid of
high taxation and reconstruction dissatisfaction, Walter
Pierce has only a fighting chance for election with the odds
iavonng nis opponent.

For a New Calendar
An international organization, called the "Calendar
League has been organized and is conducting a propaganda
oi eaucauon ior tne adoption of a 13 month year, with each
month containing 28 days and an international holiday added
each year to make up the 365 days of the solar calendar. A
similar holiday will take care of leap year.
The calendar was originated by the ancient Egyptians,
wonting in ine snadow of the pyramids and obelisks whose
year was arrangeu similarly to mat proposed by the league,
which it is declared is the best thus far devised to remedy

seem to me that she would be so
torribly in earnest about this thini

grievously unstrung.
I drank my coffee hurriedly to

How you can save
money on gasoline
Cycol is the motor oil free from destructive
sulpho" compounds. These are removed by the
new Hexeon process used only by us. Cycol does
not thin out nor break down rapidly under engine
heat It retains its "body" and maintains an
oil-tight" piston seal.
This prevents power loss and leakage of gases
into the crankcase. The direct result is a saving
in gasoline. It is also the conclusive proof of the
high lubricating value of Cycol. Flush your
crankcase and refill with Cycol.
