CAMPAIGN OPENED.
Hon- Binder Hermann delivers Rn Able
Address to an Enthusiastic Audience.
The presidential campaign
was formally opened by tho re
publicans of Benton county, at
the court house last Saturday
evening with a vim and' vigor
that eliminates all idea of apathy
among supporters of McKinley
and Roosevelt in this section.
Prominent republicans, and
many democrats, who have
known Mr. Hermann for years
began arriving in town early in
the aiternoon and by evening
the streets were fairly crowded.
An excursion brain from Albany
accompanied by the excellent
band of that city arrived at eight
o'clock, and when the exercises
of the evening began the large
court room was thoroughly filled,
notwithstanding the inolemenoy
or the weather.
A short program oonsisting of
songs by the Filipino quartet
and Albany band preceded the
address of the evening, and
hearty encores followed each
number. The quartet is one of
the best organizations of the
kind ever heard in a campaign
in this county, and Albany's
band is a credit to itself and the
oity to which it belongs.
Attorney J. H. Wilson pre
sided over the meeting and in
his announcements stated that
the meeting had been called to
organize a McKinley and Roose
velt club.
After "America" had been
sung with much enthusiasm by
the entire audience, Mr. Her
mann was introduced as the
speaker of the evening. He
was greeted with hearty applause,
and during his remarks was fre
quently interrupted with shouts
ef approval. The speaker said
in part:
"Our opponents attempt to create
issues when tliere is no basis for them.
They charge us with imperialism when
there is no such thing as imperialism
in this proud, republic of ours. There is
no democrat or populist who is honest
who will falsify his conscience with the
statement that imperialism or militarism
has been introduced by a republican
administration, for if they do we can
remind them that there was more mriT
tarism far back in the beginning of the
century; that there was more more mili
tarism then than there is now under
the administration of William McKinley.
Statistics will show us that there is now
but one soldier to every thousand people
who make up this republic. There is
a smaller standing army in this country
today in proportion to its population
than in any other countrv in the world.
"They claim that we favor expansion;
but there is no 6uch issue at this time as
expansion that has become an estab
lished fact. We have expanded already.
It is now a question of contraction.
"The real iene today before the peo
ple of the United States, plain and un
disguised, is, Arc the principles of the
republican party to be approved, and
unuer a republican administration is
there to be a continuance of our present
prosperity and a maintenance of our
national honor?
" It is not enough that we have good
laws, but we should have a good admin
istration to enforce these laws. Every
pledge made by the republican party to
the people four years ago has been re
deemed. Never since the days of Grant
has a president been confronted by
exigencies and crises so important and
so delicate as has William McKinley,
and never has a chief magistrate met
these grave responsibilities with more
unswerving fidelity and noble, manly
action than has President McKinley.
We may look at his 40 years of public
career, and we find not a single blemish .
During the administration of no other
president do we discover greater results
than those attained by William McKin
ley. "When they talk of imperialism, they
forget that the republican party is the
party that has made free hemes for
the homeless all over this country and
was the party that struck the shackles
from over 3,000,000 slaves ; further, that
it was the republican party that arose in
its might and preserved the Union from
destruction; that it was the republican
party that drove imperialism from Mex
ico and saved that country ; that it was
the republican party that saved Hawaii
from a monarch's rule and raised over
that people the Stars and Stripes, the
emblem of liberty, that the immediate
predecessor of William McKinley, as
president, hauled down, but which has
again been raised to the place where it
no if proudly floats. It was President
McKinley aid the republican party that
removed Spanish dominion from Cuban
soil, and it was under a republican ad
ministration that the old flag was floated
in remote lands where until lately
floated the emblems of empire and roy
alty. Is such a party a party of im
perialism? Point, if you can, to a sin
gle ptesident under a republican admin
istration who has failed to perform the
duties imposed upon him. . The records
speak for themselves. Along with the
record of the immortal Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield and Harrison, we point
with pride to the statesman, diplomat
and soldier William McKinley.
"When McKinley was inangurated
president he found the treasury depleted,
the country bankrupt, smokeless fac
tories, armies of idle men marching over
the country, with their families crying
for bread. Confronted with these con-
ditions, he brought order out ef chaos, 1
plenty out of want and brought the coun
try up to Its present degree of prosperity.
It was necessary for him to take up the
thread where the republican party left
it in 1892, and carry out the principles
and doctrines of republicanism, and
again redeem the pledges of the repub
lican party. The difficulties growing out
of tho Spanish war were conducted with
diplomatic and military skill that will
cause the acts of the president to live
in the best history of the country.
Hardly had these trying difficulties been
adjusted when there arose the complica
tions with China. These complications
have been promptly met, and there is
promise of an early solution in a manner
befitting the exalted dignity and national
pride of the Nation .
"You don't hear any more about the
crime of '73 ; no more about 'per capity' :
no more about the gold bag, and still
less about the bloated bondholder all
these have disappeared like the fabric of
a dream.
'In 1896 we were a debtor nation : to
day we are a creditor nation. Three
years ago there were three men to every
job : today there are three jobs lor every
man. Three years ago there was much
sadness; today there is much gladness.
Three years ago many people were talk
ing mucn without much thinking; to
day many people are thinking much and
talking little.
So, in order to catch the labor vote,
the Bryan party has In some states in
serted a plank in their platform for
shoitening the hours of labor. We do
not deny that if Bryan is elected that the
laborer's hours would be shortened. In
fact, a democratic administration would
make the hours of the laborer so short
that he woulk have no hours at all.
"It would have been better if we had
to have Mr. Bryan, to have- elected him
in I89S than in 1900. But now, when
the magnificent temple of American in
dustries has been erected, we are asked
to tear down this wonderful monument
of our national prosperity.
"Mr. Bryan says the republican party
puts the dollar before the man,' and we
take him to mean what he says. The
republican administration in the last
four years has put more dollars before
the man than he e ver saw before, and
the best part of it is that when we put
that dollar before the man there is 100
cents in the dollar. One-fifth of the
world's gold today . Is in the United
States."
At the close of the address the
organization of a McKinley and
Roosevelt club was effected. Mr.
J. B. Irvine was chosen, presi
dent; W. S. Linville, vice-presi
dent; J. H. Wilson, secretary,
and J. R. Smith, treasurer. A
vote ot thank were extended to
Mr. Hermann, and the Albany
band which had so kindly as
sisted in the exercises. v The
meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.
Home From Cook's Inlet.
Henry Howell, A. L,. Baldwin
and others, arrived in this city
from Cook's Inlei Sunday, com
ing via San Francisco. They
have been up there all summer
in the employ of the Alaskan
Sample Company which is en
gaged in the salmon canning in
dustry. They did not succeed
in doing a very large business in
the way of canning, as they
were obliged to build their can
nery before they conld put up
any salmon. However, they did
a fair business. They report
that all the canneries heretofore
established on the Alaskan coast
did a fair business. Fish were
so thick at times that
when rowing in a boat it was
almost impossible to get the oars
in the water. As to whether
they will return to the North
again depends on circumstances.
Mr. Baldwin, whose home is in
Waldport, states that he was
very '.agreeably surprised by the
appearance of the country around
Cook's Inlet. He says there is
some pretty good land there, and
seems to think that it is capable
of producing crops -if properly
cultivated. The party went
over to Waldport yesterday.

is wortny 01 special mention. The

ner is well to the fore in the march
of progress.
H. W. Hall has just received an
elegant assortment "of campaign
horns. They are all the rage now
in the East, and a political rally
isn't considered complete without
them. They make as much noise
for one party as another. Local
campaigners should secure a sup
ply from Mr. Hall immediately.
They are vote-getters.
A day or two ago a party carried
some ashes out and threw them
down back of the Occidental hotel.
There they were left, the party be
ing under the impression that they
contained no fire. By chance they
were noticed later, when fire was
very much in evidence. Persons
having occasion to throw ashes out
cannot use too much caution as to
where they place them and whether
they contain fire or not.
George Eglin is in receipt of a
card from Joseph Gratha, of Allen
ton, Mo., in which the latter ex
presses a desire for information re
garding the general resources of this
country. Mr. Gratha wants to
know how land rents, the price
asked for land improved and unim
proved, wages of men and women,
something about the hop industry,
fruit, potatoes, etc. He states that
he is going to move to this county
and wishes to bring a few families
along with him.
Prosperity item clipped from the
Albany Democrat: "A man travel
ing through the country between
Albany and Harrisburg counted
thirteen new barns, six new houses
and ten new windmills, ell put up
this year. Seven of the windmills
by the way, were Aermoter. This
is a pretty good sign of prosperity
regardless of poor wheat crop and
low wheat prices. Farmers have
turned their attention to other
things sufficiently so that they are
not completely dependent upon
their wheat crops.
While so much that is dismal is
being chronicled concerning the
failure of the wheat crop, it is pleas
ant to publish an Item like the fol
lowing. Mr. Jas. Wilkinson, who
lives a few miles south of town, re
cently cut his crop of 26 aorea of
timothy hay, the yield being ISO
tons. Last week he sold 1U2 ton
of it for approximately $1,000. Mr.
Wilkinson has realized $40 per
acre for his 26 acres of hay. Speak
ing of the general failure of the
wheat throughout the state, Mr.
Wilkinson said the theory advanced
that failure was due to impover
ished soil is not a correct one. He
planted a small strip of wheat on
virgin land last year and its yield
was no better than that of land that
had been sown in wheat for years.
While continued growing of wheat
will in time impoverish any land,
present failure is due to some other
cause.
