THE PLATFORM.
Resolved, That we favor the permanent
betterment of every highway in Benton
county, without regard to the political com
plexion of the section to which it leads
or through which it passes.
Resolved, That we favor the liberal but
Intelligent ezenditure of public money for
Toad Improvement, under competent super
vision, and limited to the employment of
such methods as Trill provide good roads
without imposing unnecessary burden on
the taxpayers.
Resolved, Tint we favor an administra
tion of -county affairs which will render un
necessary a gradual increase of the taxpay
ers' burden from year to year at a time
when the county is free from debt, and there
is no demand for heavy expenditure of
county funds.
Resolved, That we favor an equal and
anifoim system of taxation as prescribed by
the -constitution and laws of this state, and
condemn In most severe terms a policy
which discriminates in favor of one indi
vidual and against another.
Resolved, That we favor the strict atten
tion of every county officer to his duties pre
scribed for him by law, and the faithful
observance of the obligations imposed by
his oath of office. Adopted by the Benton
county Republican convention, March 31,
1904.

HONOR THY FATHER !
The editor of the Times (a
democrat for business reasons
has been relieved of the newspaper
command for incompetency shown
in the preliminary skirmishes of
the campaign, and Wily Sachem
McFadden has planted his banner
on the outer walls. His first
"shot" fired from the Times last
Friday at Hon. W. E. Yates, j
missed the mark and hit the
father of the editor of that paper.
It is said that when the editor
of the Times (who is a democrat j
purely for business reasons) glanc- j
ed along the McFadden guns and
saw his father, Hon. J. B. Irvine,
standing between their frowning
muzzles and the man the Wily
Sachem had sworn to exterminate
(for personal reasons, ) he asked to
be relieved from the task of slan
dering the author of his being.
Be that as it may, the fact re
mains that the editor has retired
and the Wily Sachem is directing
the guns in person.
,v This retirement of the editor,
however, does not relieve him of
the responsibility for all that is
said in the editorial columns of
his paper. His father placed Hon.
W. E Yates in nomination for
siate senator before the recent
Republican convention. In doingi
so he vouched for his fitness for
the position, his character as a
man, his integrity as a public offi-J
. cial, and his worth as a . private
citizen. Hon. J. B. Irvine spoke
in highest praise of Mr. Yates
when he asked the Republican
convention to nominate him, and
. he stands as sponsor for Mr. Yates
in this campaign.
Every "shot" which the editor!
of the Times permits Judge Mc-'
Fadden to fire at Mr. Yates
!i i- .t. i ri TV
LillUUgU UICCOIUUIIU) Ul LUC llUlO
will wound his own father. In
the name of that respect which a
son should ha ve for his aged parent
the . editor of the Times should
retract what he has said reflecting
upon his father's motives and
veracity, and refuse to be a party
in the future to a plot which will
blacken his family name.
Every portion of the state was
given representation in selection
of Republ ican candidates for Presi
dential electors and delegates to
the Republican National Conven
tion. The candidates for Electors
are: J N Hart, of Polk; A C
Hough, of Josephine; James A
Fee, of Umatilla, and Grant B
Dimick, ot Clackamas. The del-
egates-at-large to the National
Convention are: H W Scott, of
Multnomah ; W B Ayer, of Mult
nomah ; S L, Kline, of Benton; and
Ira B Smith, of Malheur. The
delegates selected from the First
Congressional" District were T U
Campbell, of Clackamas, and J N
Keene. of Jackson . In the' Sec
ond District C H Carey, of Port
land, and N C Richards, of Baker,
were chosen. A better distribu
tion geographically could not
have been made it it had been
planned with that end in view
Oregonian.
The efforts of the - Democratic
administration to make taxpayers
believe that their county tax is
extremely low this year would be
amusing if the burden of the
tax itself were not a very serious
matter. ' The sum to be raised for
county purposes this year is great
er than the last levy ot the Wood
ward administration' , provided.
The Times takes delight in com
paring the county levy this year
with that of last year, which was
probably the highest levy ever
made in Benton county. That
was a Democratic levy also, and
taxpayers are asking the question,
"What was done with the money
that we paid into the county treas
ury last year?"
The action of the Republican
State Convention in electing Mr.
S. L. Kline a member of the
delegation from Oregon to the
National Republican Convention,
was a graceful recognition of
thar gentleman's long and effi
cient service for the party. He
was placed in nomination by
Attorney E. R. Brysora, and the
convention elected him by accla
mation. Benton county Repub
licans extend congratulations.
Voters who wish to cast a bal
lot on election day next June,

ENDORSED ROOSEVELT.
Republicans of Oregon Name State Tick
et, and Adopt Strops Platform.
The Republican State Conven
tion met in Portland last Thurs
day, April T4th, nominated candi
dates for Supreme Judge, Food
and Dairy Commissioner and Pres
identiale lectors, chose delegates-at-large
to the Republican Na
tional Convention, adopted a
platform, ratified district conven
tion nominations for Circuit Judg
es, District Attorneys, joint Sen
ators and joint Representatives,
and elected a new State Central
Committee.
B. Iv. Eddy, of Tillamook, pre
sided as chairman and Harrrison
Allen, of Clatsop, acted as secre
tary. The new central commit
tee organized by electing Frank
C. Baker, of Multnomah, chairr
man. E. R. Bryson is commit
teeman for Benton county.
The renomination of Justice F.
A. Moore for Supreme Judge was
so certain that no one had arrang
ed to place his name before the
convention. Four times Chair
man Eddy announced in a loud
voice that nominations for Su
preme Tudge were in order before
Judge C. F. Carey, - of-Multno
mah, arose and ottered the name
of Justice Moore. .
"I have not been requested to
present the name of Justice
Moore," said the speaker, "but I
feel that it is a privilege to do so,
I take pleasure in presenting his
name and- move that the secretary
be instructed to cast the ballot ot
this convention for him."
This motion was received with
loud applause and it was carried
without a dissenting voice. Jus-
itice Moore was accordingly de
clared the convention's choice tor
Judge of the State Supreme
Court.
Up to this point the voting of
the convention had been of the
unanimous order, but when the
time came for selecting a candi
date for the office of State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, it soou
became evident that there was a
division of choice. Dan J. Ma
larkey, of Multnomah, placed be
fore the convention the. name of
Charles Hoi man. who, he said,
was an active worker in Republi
can politics and one worthy of
the position. F. E. Beach, of
Multnomah, placed the name of
J. W. Bailey, the present incum
bent before ,the convention. - He
declared that Mr. Bailey's record
for years past had . been an open
book and that the convention
would make a mistake if it did
net nominate him. - Mr. Bailey's
name received loud applause and
the sentiment of the convention
in his favor was clearly manifest
ed in the manner in which his
name was seconded by represen
tatives of county delegations all
over the house. . I
When the ballots had been
counted the. results showed 215
votes lor-Bailey and 142 for Hol
rrian. Mr. Malarkey, who nom
inated Air. Hoi man, then rose
and moved thac the convention
make the nomination ot Mr.
Bailey uuauimous.. This was
done.
The selection of delegates to
the National Republican Conven
tion was done by acclamation.
The names of five candidates
f r the positions of Presidential
electors were placed before "the
convention and a ballot was tak
en on these names. The four re
ceiving the highest number of
votes were declared the nominees
ot the convention.
The roll of counties was called
and each county named its mem-'
ber ot tne committee.
As soon as this was completed
the district nominees were pre
sented to the conyention and rat
ified. The. committee on plat
form reported and the conven
tion adjourned.
Nominations of candidates for
Ciicuit Judgeships and Prosecut
ing Attorneyships gave rise to
several contests, ; but these took
place in caucuses and added no
interest to the proceedings of the
convention. ,
.. In the Second district, which
comprises the counties of Benton,
Douglas, Linn, Polk, Coos, Cur
ry and Lincoln, Judge E. O. Pot
ter, of Eugene, was nominated
for Circuit Judge, and Attorney I
Geo. Brown, of Roseburg, was
renominated for District Attor
ney. G. S. Wright, of Yamhill
county, defeated B . F. Jones, of
Toledo for Joint Senator trom the
Eleventh district, comprising the
counties of Tillamook, Yamhill
and Lincoln.
Repubjican State Platform.

GEOKGE M. BROWN. Of Dovurias
President R oseelt has redeemed his
rledte to carrv out the policies of the
party as formulated oy mat great niaies-
man and revered martyred jrresioeni,
William McKinley.
He lias shown himself the fe 01 cor-
rtormion in uublic lire, the ardent chain -
diou and wise friend ot tne Army , ana
Navy, and the firm believer in equal
rights before the law to employe, rich or
poor. hlacK or white.
Under his energetic leaoersnip tne ism-
mian Canal, frustrated for a time by a
Democratic President, is soon to be real
ized and to distinguish his Administra
tion bv one of the grandest engineering
triumphs known to man.
We recognize the profound obligation
under which Oregon rests to President
Roosevelt for his active and determined
effort on behalf of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial, and we pledge ourselves to
testify the sidcerity of this appreciation
by a rousing majority for the Kepnoiican
ticket in June and again m jNovemoer,
In this connection we especially en
dorse the tireless labors of Senators
Mitchell and Fulton and Representatives
Hermann and Williamson.
We instruct the delegates of this con
vention to the Republican National Con
vention at Chicago to vote first and last,
for Theodore Roosevelt for " President,
and to use all honorable means forbring
ing his nomination to pass.
THE DELEGATION IN CONKRKSS
For the first time in years the State of
Oregon is- represented in both houses of
Congress by a strong, harmonious, unit
ed and effective delegation, inferior to
none in the West.
Their efforts in behalf of the Nation,
their party and their state have been
crowned with signal success, and we
hereby express to them our confidence
and esteem and pledge them our support
in their further efforts to advance the in
terests of Oregoti and the Pacihc Coast.
MONEY
Thanks to the courage and wisdom of
two. Republican Administrations and four
Republican Congresses, the monpy of
the Nation has been securely established
upon the gold standard, the standard of
the enlightened- natious of the world.
The per capita circulation is the largest
in our history, and every dollar of paper
and coin is as good as gold.
We commend the measures now pend
ing in Congress, at the instance of Re
publican members, further amending the
currency and banking la as in the direc
tion of safety and elasticity.
TARIFF
We renew our allegiance to the princi
ple of protectieu to American industries.
The merits of the Dingley law are at
tested by the unprecednted prosperity of
the nation since its passage in 1897
Schedules must be changed from time
to time, as new conditions arise, but
when the tanff is revised it must be by
the friends and not the foes, of American
industries.
THE TRUSTS
We heartily commend the fearless and
determined course pursued by President
Roosevelt and' Attorney General Knox
towards the trusts, and we point with
pride to the hostility aroused against the
Administration among the speculators of
Wall street and corporations that defy
the law. ' .
Obedience to the law against monopoly
inflicts no hardships on any honeBt in
dustry, and the action of the President
in the Northern Securities merger and
other cases has only served to check dan
gerous speculation and encourage every
legitimate enterprise.
THE PHILIPPINES
We indorse the policy enunciated by
President McKinley and followed by Sec
retary Taft of "th; Philippines for the
Philipinos," and we respectfully com
mend the earnest and preaistent efforts
made by Senator Mitchell for lower tariffs
between, the Philippines and the United
States. . . .
We hold that the Philippines must be
retained by the United States for their
own good as well as for a base of Ameri
can influence in the Far East, but that
justice requires the least possible burdens
upon their commerce with the United
States, that they may be cemented to us
by ties of self-imterest and affection.
In the interest of Pacific development,
we demand for the Philippines the same
liberal and , beneficient treatment that
has been accorded to Hawaii and Porto
Rico. '.
- Proud of the history and achievements
of our party, and especially of the pres
ent Administration and the beneficient
results that our nation is receiving there
from, and particularly our old Oregon
country, we confidently submit our cause
to the patriotic citizens of our state for
indorsement, and earnestly appeal to
them to show .their gratitude and appre
ciation to President Roosnvelt and our
Republican leaders in Congress for honor
ing our history and aiding the develop
ment of our matchless resources. .
