For the past month the Times has made every effort to make po litical capital out of the fact that Clerk Watters has employed no extra deputy to assist in the regis tration of voters. It has told in its own yivid style, how Mr. Wat ters and his deputy, have-worked far into the night to accomplish this work, and has given out the impression, by insinuation and direct assertion, that Mr. Wat ters has. been doing this work personally in order to save the taxpayers of Benton county the expense of having a deputy per form the work; that Mr. Watters was registering the voters of Benton county gratis, and Mr. Watters has permitted that im pression to prevail. In its last issue the Times says: "Watters has not re ceived a cent for registering voters." Why did it not add, No one engaged in registering voters in Benton county has re ceived a cent for this service. This would have been true. The law provides that a fee of ten cents shall be allowed no taries for each name registered by them and voted. Should a party register and not vote, the notary receives no fee, therefore, payment for this service cannot be made until after election, when the records will show who voted and what each notary is entitled to. Now, Mr. Watters stands in the same position as the various notaries who have done this work. We have Coun ty Judge Woodward for authori ty, that it is the understanding of the court that Mr. Watters is to be compensated for the work of registering in the same man ner as the various notaries. This understanding was arrived at when Mr. Watters asked the court for a deputy to assist in the work of registration. He was denied a deputy, but the under standing was that he was to re ceive ten cents for each name registered by him where the party voted. The court expects Mr. Watters to put in a bill for this work, which will be allowed. Now, it may be that the court is laboring under a misappre hension on the question. It may be that Mr. Watters believes the understanding between himself and the court to be that he is to receive nothing for his work in registering voters. It may be, as the Times would have the taxpayers of Benton infer, that Mr. Watters saved them the expense of this work : We hope this is true, for it will mean a a saving of $100 to 150 to the county. There is one way to settle the question, however. Mr. Watters may make affidavit that he will ask no compensation from the county for either himself or his deputy for registering vot ers and publish- the same in the Times. All doubt in this matter will then be removed. Tf MV rrpz tint rln fliic the taxpayers have a right to be- lieve that they will have to pay Mr. Watters and his deputy for the work done in registering voters. Another point, too, which must not be overlooked, is that Mr. Watters and his deputy took time from their regular duties for which they receive a salary, to do some of this work, and were therefore receiving double pay. For several years the demo cratic party managers in this county have traded every other candidate on their ticket for votes to enable them to elect their clerk and sheriff. The same tactics are being prepared by them for operation in the present election. Only a few days ago one near to the party managers approached a republican offering to vote for a certain republican candidate providing that the republican so approached would vote for the democratic clerk. The republi can who allows himself to be so humbugged by the political jockey will practically lose his vote. The political vote jockey approaches possibly a dozen or twenty voters on the other side and offers to vote their way pro viding that they will vote for a certain man whom he names, and thus if the pledge is kept by all he perhaps gets twenty of the other side to vote for his clerk while he gives one vote to a re publican. Republicans certainly must have better judgment than to be drawn -into such traps. Under this and similar tactics the democrats have been able to elect sheriff and clerk with re publican voters. For some time they have offered to trade off pop ulist nominees on the fusion ticket to get republicans to vote for democrats. Miles Starr, the republican nominee for treasurer of Benton county, was born in Diamond Springs, Calif., and at an early age his parents came to this state. His boyhood davs were passed at different points through out the Willamette valley. When he had arrived at early manhood he settled in this coun ty, and has resided here for the past 24 years. The greater part of his life has been devoted to general farming and the dairy business', and up to last summer he was ever active in this line. But he was the victim of a sad accident during haying season and received a bad fall which has left him a cripple and ren dered him 'unable to follow his life's work. He is honest, thor oughly qualified for the office for which he is nominated, and in view of his past there is no room for doubt as to his energy when there is anything to be done. Let all republicans cast a straight vote for the man they have nomi nated, for lie is worthy in every sense of their support Casper Zierolf, candidate fr county commissioner on the re publican ticket, resides about five miles north of Monroe, on his fine farm, where for over 25 years he has enjoyed the happy distinction of being a prosperous and successful farmer, enjoying peace and plenty accumulated under his careful and conserva tive management of his own affairs. He has been a life-long republican of unswerving integ rity and highly respected by all his neighbors and acquaintances His careful and conservative methods in the management of his own affairs, indicates beyond question that he will make a first class officer of the county court to guard and assist in pro tecting the counties business. Mr. Zierolf will make a first class county commissioner. All told the Gellatly family in cluding J. A Gellatly, present candidate for county clerk, since their twenty-eight years resi dence in Benton county have paid taxes into the county treas ury $4269.02, as shown by the tax-rolls. J. A. Gellatly yet owns his fine farm near Philo math. Three fine farms are also owned by others of the family. The name of Gellatly has always been famed for honesty, integ rity, fair dealing, free from all dissembling or sharp practice. Johnny is peculiarly fitted by natural qualities and education to make one of the best county clerks which Oregon has ever had. The voters will not per mit his opposition to throw sand in their eyes on this important subject when going to vote. A MATTER OF COMPARISON. The strongest thing urged and in fact the only thing urged in Mr. Watters' behalf for re election is that he has been an obliging and economical officer. When either quality is mentioned a comparison is implied. Com pared with some other standard Mr. Watters is obliging and eco nomical. Compare then Mr. Watters and Gellatly. All who have ever had business dealings with either man will say frankly that each is equally anxious to accommodate and oblige. On this point there is no choice be tween them. Let us consider the other ques tion, however. The opportunity is excellent. Mr. Watters has been recorder of Benton county, and Mr. Gellatly has held the same position. Mr. Watters was the first recorder elected to this office after it was established. After entering upon his duties as recorder he established the prece dent of having a deputy for that officer at $20 per month, to be paid by the county. In the court records for the May term, 1895, we find these words: "At this time Virgil E. Waters, county recorder cf Benton county, Ore gon, reported to the court that he had appointed W. A. Buchanan as his regular deputy; and that a deputy was necessary to carry on the said office properly and per form the duties thereof; and that the said W. A. Buchanan had agreed to perform .the duties of dermtv recorder for the sum of twenty dollars a month." The court ordered that there be al lowed for deputy hire for the said county recorder the sum of twen ty dollars per month in addition to the salary fixed by law for the said recorder. This order was made at the regular July term of the court for 1894, but "through inadvertance was not entered in the journal of the court, and on motion of the said recorder it is entered now for then and it is to have the force of a nunc pro tunc order." Here was Mr. Watters' idea of economy, a deputy at $20 per month at the expense of the taxpayer. During Mr. Gellatly' s term as recorder the county has not been to one cent of expense for deputy hire for him. He has had a dep uty, it is true, but he has paid for that deputy OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET. Here is a saving of at least $240 a year to the taxpayers. Mr. Gellatly re ceives the same salary that Mr. Watters did; as much, if not more work has been done during Mr. Gellatly' s term, and has been done at least as well. We do not hesitate to say that Mr. Gellatly will demonstrate to the people of Benton county that he will be as courteous and economical in the clerk's office as he has been in the recorder's office. Every voter in Benton county who has the interests of Oregon at heart will cast a vote for Thomas H. Tongue for congress. Every attack upon his record in congress has been met and dispelled. He is recognized in Washington as one of the most" able members of the house, and he occupies a place on many important committees. including that of the rivers and harbors. He has the respect and esteem of his associates and the confidence of the administration. The entire country is looking to Oregon for her verdict on the great political issues of the hour, and Mr. Tongue's majority will be taken as an evidence ot the de sires of the people of this district in regard to these issues. There is our old friend, J. B. Irvine, republican candidate for coroner, whose jolly, rollicking, friendly and genial qualities ren ders him peculiarly fitting to relieve the moaotony and solem nity of so solemn a profession. If the expected corpse had not quite passed away the tendency of friend Irvine's kind genial disposition wonld tend to enthuse the last moments of the departed with a few moments longer of life. He is peculiarly and well calculated to do honor to this im portant office. The Eugene Guard has been figuring again. It says: "Dr. Daly alone lost not less than $30,000 worth of property, with out any insurance." (Dr. Daly is the union candidate for con gressman in this district. Ed. Guard. ) Now, Dr. Daly gave in his property to the Lakeview as sessor at only $1,800, and that official only raised the assessment to $7, 800. Does the Guard wish to insinuate that Dr. Daly tried to defraud his own city in the matter of taxes?

When Populist Harry Tracy spoke in Corvallis last week Mc. and the entire demo cratic machine performed the hardest two hours' work they have done in years, in an attempt to raise $10 to hire the band. The result of their efforts was numerous "promises to pay," much fume and vapor by the lawyer, amusement for the pub lic, and no band. G. H. Waggoner, republican candidate for county surveyor, resides on the old homestead two miles west of Monroe, son of Thomas Waggoner for 25 years a resident there. He has been born and reared on this farm, but educated and competent for thesurveyorship. He is a young man of industrious habits, and will make a good county sur veyor. A Genuine Populist. Those who heard the address of ex-Congressman Howard, the brilliant populist orator, at the court house last Tuesday evening, pronounce it the ablest exposi tion of the principles of populism ever heard in this city, and Mr. Howard the peer-of any orator they have heard in years. To say the least his address is ex haustive and absorbing, and he has remarkable forensic ability He does not espouse republican ism, nor does he advocate in any measure, whatever, fusion with tne repuDiicau party. Jtie op poses fusion with the democratic party, and holds that there is not a single basis for fusiort between the democrats and populists Mr. Howard takes up each ot the issues made by the democrats in the present campaign and holds that it is immaterial to the populists whether democrats or republicans win, the result being no nearer accomplishment of true populism in the triumph of one than of the other. "You democrats out here censure us because we oppose fusion," said he, ' 'and say we are paid by the republicans and Mark Hauna. Mr. Osborne and myself are the only ones here in the interests of straight populism. 'Cyclone' Davis, Tim Weaver and two other prominent fusionists are in the state in the interests of demo crats. According to the same logic there must be at least two mark Hannas in the democratic party as four of their speakers are supported here." His ar raignment of democracy was scathing; He said: "Democ racy in the West is a vague reaching-out lor something in the nature of a reform; democ racy in the East is an organized appetite for office, and democ racy in the South is a thing op posed to everything, something that never learns and never for gets; it is bourbonism." In 1802 and 1804, before fusion began, the populists had majorities in Nebraska and Colo rado and made an excellent showing in Oregon and Califor nia. Since then Nebraska has passed into the republican col umn, Colorado is a doubtful state, and the populist vote in Oregon and California has been sadly lowered. The populist Jonah is in the bowels of the democratic whale, but the straight populist section will make such a commotion in this campaign that his whaleship will disgorge.

They quickly cure all liver and bowel trouble. Graham & Wells, George W. Den man. The subject of the following skekh needs no introduction to the people of Benton county for it is doubtful if there is another person Su well known to every man, wo man and child fn this coumy as Geo. W. Denman. This brief syn opsis of his work in behalf of our schools and their patrons will be of interest to every one: Born in Missouri 1871, he came to Independence, Oregon, when 7 years old, and has been a resident ot the state twenty-two years, twelve of which have been spent in Corvallis. He received his educa tion at Independence and Corvallis under the tutorship of such able and prominent instructors as Prank Rigler, city superintendent of Port land schools, ex-Sup't W. E. Yates, ex-Sup't R. F. Robinson, of Port land, ex-Presidents B. L. Arnold and John Bloss of O. A. C. On completing his common school edu cation he assisted his father who followed his trade of stone mason, plasterer and brick layer. Many of our citizenB will remember George assisting h s father in building Mr. Pole Avery's store, juetnortof Hus ton & Bogue's. After helping his father for a number of years he en tered the Oregon Agricultural col lege, in 1889, graduating therefrom tn 1893 with the degree of B S. While attending college he was com pelled to work evenings and Satur days to pay his expenses. By clos application and untiring efforts he completed in four years the B. S. course with honor to himself and credit to his parents. After gradu ating from college he began teach ing, in which he was unusually suc cessful, having taught for six suc cessive terms in Dist. No. 93, in which place he was still teaching whan elected county school super intendent. As county school superintendent his record has never been equaled by any other superintend ent of our county. He has devoted his entire time and attention to building up the educational system of Benton county until it is sec ond to none in the state. He was the first superintendent to attempt grading the country schools of the county. Through this scheme the pupils of the country schools were enabled to graduate in their home district and receive a graduation diploma wleich admitted tus bearer into the O. A. C. without further examination. This filled a long feit want and has saved the citizens of our county many dollars. He managed the local teachers' institutes of the county which have been the means of arousing such in terest and enthusiasm never before experienced in Benton. Of all the large number conducted he has been more than successful in every instance. It was he who held the first and only school officers con vention or institute ever held in the county. To improve and make more regu lar the attendance in the county schools he has arranged monthly contests between each district. The district having the highest per cent of attendance each month holds a satin banner, purchased by himself. A school on winning the banner three times receives a county roll of honor nicely framed. Each pupil who is neither absent nor tardy for three successive months receives a certificate of perfect attendance. He was the only county superin tendent in the state who arranged a program for the schools on the anniversary of Dewey's victory. While the law only compels the county superintendent to visit the schools once a year, he has made two visits every year, spending on an average two hours 10 each school He also instituted the union pic nie plan and each year holds them all over the county. He held last year five of such picnics. At these gatherings he pays out of his own private funds many dollars for prizes and the like. By his constant hard work and untiring energy has beco ne the by word of every school boy and girl in the county, and we doubt not if each pupil jn the county is not on familiar terms with him. So effi ciently did he perform his dutiey during his first term of office, that in the last election he carried ever precinct in the county except Lobs ster, and received the handsome majority of 66 1 over his opponent.

The Grand Army veterans, members of the Woman's Relief Corps and sol diers of the iate war assembled iu body at the Evangelical church together with the congregations of other denomina tions last Suuday to hear tho eloquent pastor of that church excel himself in his memorial tribute to our heroic dead. The church was packed, the standing room and all available space being filled with a devoted audience. Rev. Myron Boozer made a most profound appeal for the preservation of the American Sab bath and our American system of free public schools, as the principal factors and agencies for the preservation of our republic and christian civilization. Upon the rostrum were assembled the clergymen of all the other churches of our city who participated in the devo tional exercises of the service which were interspersed with appropriate music well rendered . In the evening the Veterans and Wo man's Relief Corps by invitation of Dr. Thompson assembled ia body at his hos pitable church. Rarely has the Presby terian church entertained a more rtrictly representative audience than appeared at that service. Upon the church walls were hung the banners and flags of the Grand Army as their offerings in com memoration of Memorial Day. Dr. Thorn dsou is always eloquent and im pressive, but never more than on this occasion when he paid his rich tribute to our heroic dead and to the noble patriotic women who have organized themselves all over our land to perpetuate their memory. He discoursed on "Memor ials," calling atteation to the historic memorials of ancient as well as ot modern times memorials in art, science and lit erature, memorials which give distinc tion to the great events of every historic epoch both civic and military. Wednesday, Decoration Day, the regu lar memorial exercises were conducted under the auspices of the G. A. R. and Spanish War Veterans. This is the first time the latter organization has obseryed the day, and their presence gave greater significance and added interest to the oc casion. Promptly at 2 o'clock the parade, com posed of the cadet band, cadet battalion, Woodmen, school children, G. A. It., Spanish War Veterans, W. R. C.and citizens, formed at the G. A. R . hall and moved to the Crystal Lake cemetery. Here ths beautiful service Of the Grand Army was performed ; a firing squad of cadets saluted with three volleys, and the bugle sounded taps. In the evening an appropriate program, consisting of music, recitations and an able address by Superintendent Denman, was rendered at the Methodist church; concluding the exercises in the observa tion of this dearest day to all Americaus. W. D. Kay. V. D. Kay, a prominent citizen of Benton county, died at his home one mile west of Monroe, Saturday. The cause of death was cancer of the stomach. Mr. Kay was born in Louisville, Ky., March 27, 1835, and came to California in 1858. In 1859 he started for Oregon on the fated ship Northener, and was one of the few survivors of the memor able wreck of that vessel at Cape Mendocino. During the excitement attending the foundering of this ship Mr. Kay jumped into tne surr, was immediately caught around the feet by a man much larger than himself, and swam to shore with his burden, where both exhausted and almost lifeless, were soon re stored. May 13, 1866, he was united in marriage to Mrs. John M. Davis, and to this couple six child ren ere born, two are dead. Those living are H. Ed Kay, W. Hugh Kay, Mrs. Sidney Evans acd Mrs. Mel G. Evans, all of whom reside near Monroe. The wife survives him. Mr. Kay was a member of the Christiau church and of the Grange.
