The battle for representative
to congress in this district, is go
ing to be a hard-f jught one on
both, sides, but the knowing
nes are confident that - it has
aheady been decided. The Ore
gonian is out strong for Her
mann and in its Sunday issue
said:
,Bnger jHermann will be re
nominated for , congress next
Wednesday in the Republican
Convention of the First Rep-e-sentative
District at Salem.
Hermann has completely routed
his rival by capturing Josephine,
Washington and Yamhill coun
ties, upon which Harris placed
confident reliance. Hermann's
votes in the convention will out
number Harris' by nearly two to
one. .
The pn.b .bility oi Hermann's
Tenoniiaation has been manifest
for several days. Tne fixst seveie
loss to Harris was that of L'nn
county, next of Clackamas, then
of Washington and finally of
Yamhill. Eirly in the race he
appeared to run very strong.
Several days ao he said that
even if he could not be nomina
ted he would-place his candidacy
before the convention.
In Monday s paper the situ
ation is again reviewed, with this
summary:
Now that the coigressional
ontest in the First Dtstrict seems
to be settled in favor of Her
mann,, attention is being turned
to local matters of more import
ance and to the probable action
of the Democrats. While the
friends of Harris do not express
ly admit thit their favorite is de
feated, they show that they have
little hopes of his success. It is
claimed lor him that he will cut
iihto some of the delegations that
are-counted solid for Hermann,
Bat there is little if any expecta
tion that he can secure votes
ececgh to win out in that man
ner 'Wednesday.
May the best man win.

Articles of general interest will be pub
Ilshed in this department as the personal
opinion ct the writers. It is understood
that the paper is not held responsible
for any opinion here expressed.
Editor Gazette : It is now
common rumor; and I believe
general belief that the delegates
elected to the District Conven
tion; by the Republican Conven
tion just held in our county are
pledged to someone here or else
where, to vote against the nom
ination of Binger Hermann.
If this be true, and the dele
gates so vote, L wish to enter a
protest against their action being
tfcBsen in any manner as represent
ing the sentiment of the conven
tion which elected them. They
were, act instructed, and there
was-no discussion of Mr. Her
mann's candidacy in the Conven
tion. Had the subject been agi
tated before the convention, I feel
certain the opposition to Mr. Her
mann would have been found to
Be very local in its nature and
limited in extent. It might pos
sibly have been traced to one in
dividual, who for some cause not
apparent to the people of Benton
county, concluded a change in
our delegation in Congress was
desirable at that time. Be that
as It may, it is apparent to any
one who takes the pains to in
quire into the matter, that Bin
ger Hermann has lost none of his
old-time popularity in Benton
county, and that a large majority
of the Republicans will feel
agrisved should their sentiments
Be misrepresented in the District
convention..
Biuger Hermann's faithful and
efficient service in behalf of the
people of this District are too
well known to require recapitu
lation at my hands, and the poli
cy ofc retaining a tried and faith
.fbi' servant, too well recognized
to require argument in its behalf.
2a the name of the common sen
timent of our people, and prompt
ed by my own sense of right and
justice, I protest against Her
mann's banner county being rep
resented as- opposed to his re
nomination.

I do not now feel blue and sad,
, I laugh and talk and take my ease; .
' 1 come.and go just as I please.' - '
I tell you what I sold my home
When I listed it with Yi hite & Stone.' .
I was feeling very bine and sad,
My wife she made me almost mad ;
She did not want on the farm to stay,
She wanted to sell it and moveaway,
So I listed it for more than a year -And
still I found myself right here.
The agents took my -place in hand
They were so sure they could sell the land.
I sometimes think they did not try
For they never brought a man to buy,
They gave me a wink with a knowing smile
And tried to fool me all the'while.1. '
With that knowing smile and wink
They could not fool me.fdon't you think.
I saw they would rot sell my home
So I listed it with White & Stone,
i'ou bet, I fouud them just aud true; .
They will do your work all right for you.
They will always help you if they can.
They deal with you as man with-mau.
They'ie always Teady with good advice.
And are not afraid to advertise.
So, if you would buy or sell a home
Just haxe a talk with White & Stone.

cheHDer than vou can buv them in Portland

than any other egents within 500 miles. This
may seem like a bolo statement, but we are
prepared to back it up with incontrovertible
eviueuce, if given a chance.
ARGUMENT.
All large dealers, like the Portland firms,
have enormous expenses that we do not have
in the way of immense rent, electric lighr.
clerk" hire, freight, drayage and numerous
other bills. .Especially is this true of their
agents who cart their pianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large firms save
about 810 on apiano bar buying in large carload
lots Do you think that makes up for the
above expenses? .We are in a position to sell
cheaper than any large firms and the way our
customers are i.. creasing gives evidence that
people are finding it out. Beware of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the like.
Mo firm can sell goods at wholesale prices to
the retail trade and no firm does. We
always make a profit on our pianos aud never
give anyone a special price, or sell to you for
less than your neighbor, as we have but one
price the year around. There is not another
dealer in the Pacific Northwest, to our knowl
edge, which has strictly one price on each
piano from wbich they ever never deviate.
At least hare a talk with -
M. A. GOODNOUGH
before purchasing and see what he has to oiler.
Our $250 pian is a thoroughly good instru
ment, of beautiful tone, action, finish and
workmanship and one which would cost else
where $300 so $325. We have several new styles
coming. Second hand pianos also for sale.
