JS'o Doubt as to Huston's Nomination. S. B.Huston, candidate for the nomination for congress on the republican ticketf is ia the lead to-day lor this nomination. While not a boastful man, and making extravagant claims, the reports from this Congression al District show him to be leading his opponent in this race. Mr. Huston stands to day for those things which the common citizen wants and needs. Born a poor boy, he has gradually pushed his way to the front until to-day he is one of the most able, in(t respectable and honored citizens of the state. His life Sras been spent in Oregon, help ing to build up our factories and devt-lop our iudustries. His work has been out in the Lusy, hustling world, among his fellows. This experience espec ially fits him for this position. Oregon wants to-day iu congress a clean man, an able man, a practical man, a man who has sprnt his lite toiling with the err; asses, thereby fitting himself for he responsible du'ies devolv ing upon a c -ngressmaw. Iu S. 7B Huston onr people have such a man. His character is clean, fois life one ot toil and work. "His recommendations for the pos ition "honesty in public ser - 41 4(1. Z .

Republicans: Remember that S. B. Huston in his platform stands f-ide by side with Roose velt in fiyhtiriff the graft of railroids bv favoring a Maxiiim State Treasurer. Although there are six candi dates in the field for State Treas urer it is now conceded that either Ralph Hoyt of Portland or .E. V. Carter of Jackson county -will be nominated. Mr. Carter says, "If elected I will reside in Salem and give the office my personal attention." lr. Hoyt is silent on this point. Mr. Carter says, "If elected I vi turn ever to the state every do.lar of the interest paid on state funds." This money, from $10,000 to $20,000 per annum, lias heretofore been retained by the treasurer. Mr. Hoyt is silent on this point and it is fair to assume that he intends to pocket this interest money as has been done in the past. Will you vote for a Port land man and thus continue this graft? A vote for E. V. C-,rer is a vote to stop this graft -and reduce taxes correspondingly. fund. This fund is loaned on mortgage, at the rate of 6 per rent and secured by hundreds of farms in every county of the state. Should the fund, instead of being loaned out as it comes in, be kept in the the state treasury, interest on money would advance two or three per cen'. Then would come the bankers' harvest and the borrowers' trouble. As men who lived through the panic of ten years ago kno well, a high rate o; in terest with orokerage added means th auction block for many and many a farm. Now is the time to be wide awake keep the school fund away from bank manipulation. It is the balance wheel that regulates the interest rate in this state. We do business on the credit sysem and dear money for the bor rower and hard times for all of us except bankers and brokers intrenched behind a large reserve fund, walk hand in hand. Would the bankers and brokers like to keep the 6 per c-nt loaned out or would they prefer to have it hoarded np and deposited with favorite banking institu tions? Answer for yourself. The united effort of the bankers seems to be to defeat Judge Ryan and to land someone of their number in the state treasurer's office. Hot, of Portland, is a banker; Carter, f Ashland, is a banker; Atkin, of Huntington, is a banker. But the great mass of the voters of the state of Oregon are not bankers and every vote cast in the April nrimary is going to count in this struggle. The vote for nomination of state treas urer should be cast with a full realiza tion of the situation. Oregon City Courier. Think of these Things. Endorses Ryan. The contest for the republican notniua tio i of state treasurer has plainly na' rowed down to Tlios. F. Kyan, county jud:e f Clackamas county : Ralph Hoyt, a l'mland banker aud E. V. Car ter, a Southern Oregon banker. Looking at the tjiuvtion as it now stands, an issue of r'iit concern coiifrouts the peo ple of the state, inasmuch as it is appar ent i':ut, the banking interests of Oregon are making a desperate eilJit to secure CO -.trji .f tlie public fund;'.

Tne uiouey under the care oi the state tressurer, including the pudlic school fund, is au iuiuieuse sum. If it can be used, in time of a money panL, to bol ster -p banks tottering on the verge of bankruptcy, the bankers may well ex pend a handsome fortune to get control of the state money.

I favor equal and just laws, econ omy in legislation, just distribu tion of taxes and taxation of cor porate franchises. Metto: "A square deal for the taxpayer. Signed Statement Number i." The attention of republican voters is called toabove platform. Mr. Carter made his platform brief and to the point. Noth ing is contained in it but what he may be depended "upon to perform. Lookii.g over the journal of the house of the last session of the legislature shows his vote iu every instance to have been on the side of the people. We can see no reason why Mr. Carter should not be re nominated at the com ing primary election nextFiiday. Pam courtesy demands it for when an official has given satisfaction there is an unwrit ten law in politics entitling him to a sec ond term. His experience gained at the last ses sion will enable him to do better and more legislative wjrk, as it will not re quire halt of the session for him to familiarize himse.f with the legislative work as is the experience of all new members. We can see no ieaou why Virgil- Carter should not be re-nominate.i and re-elected. A Correction.

Motto: "Public good paramount to corporate interests." Signed Statement No. 1. By an oversight we omitted to give in our write-up of Friday the fact that Mr. Johnson had . signed Statement Number 1, which is as follows: "I further state to the people of Oregon as well as to the people of my legislative district, that during my term of office I will always vote for that candidate for United States Senator in congress who has received the highest number of the peo ple's votes for the position at the general election next preced ing the election of senator in congress, without regard to my individual preference. The Santiam News of March 9th says: For the benefit of our Benton county friends, now that A. J. has consented to stand for the Senate, we will say that every man, woman, and child in this vicinity has known him as a boy, as a young man and as a mature man of affairs. As a proof that Scio has held Mr. Johnson in high esteem, he has been elected to and has filled nearly every office within her gift. As Alderman, as Ma3'or, he was ever broad minded and progressive; yet economical in the expenditure of the people s money. As School Director he was actuated at all times with a desire to give our school . district the very best teachers that the amount of public funds would warrant. When chairman of the board of directors, the board erected, in Scio, one of the handsomest school buildings in the valley; amply large for the needs ot the district and at a cost so low that the people wonder how such a building could be erected for the amount it cost. As a business man, Mr. Johnson when in Scio, was progressive and public spirited and ever had the welfare of his home town at heart His four years, service as State Senator from Linn county, is a matter of public record and the Senate Journal, during his service, is open to the inspection of our Benton county friends. Mr. Johnson is essentially a man that does things and he has knowledge and ability enough to generally accomplish what he undertakes. The News congratulates A. J. in the high estimation that he seems to be held by Benton county citizens. It assures them that they will make no mistake if they select our former fellow-townsman to represent them in the State Senate. . I vMo " V v xVV Ar s& -: A; r Y Farmers S. B.

CHAMPION OF STATEMENT ONE. Jonathan Bouine, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomi nation of United States Senator in Congress, for the Jong term commencing March 4, 1907. was born in New Bedford, Mass., February 23, 1855; was a member of the class of 1877 at Harvard University; came to Portland May 16, 1878; was a Republi can member of the Oregon Legislature in the session of 1885 and the extra session of 1886; was one of Oregon's delegates to the Republican National Convention of 1888 and Oregon's member ot the Republican National Committee from 1888 to 1892, and a delegate to the Republican National Convention of 1892; and was elected aa a Mitchell Republican to the Oregon Legislature in 1896. Mr. Bourne has been more prominently identified with the development of the mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state, having expended in the last 20 years over $1,000,000 of his ewn money in the acquisition and develop ment of Oregon mines. While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Portland since 1878, he has had another office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried on the busi ness of his father's estate since 1889, which makes him familiar with many of the large interests and leading men in the East. These qualifications, in conjunction with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience in busi ness and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an aDle and influ ential Senator for the state of Oregon. Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the people over their government as tar as possible. He was one of the leading spirits in the Initiative and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the voters at the June election in 1902. In 1904 he was a member of the executive committee of the Direct Primary Nominations League, and holds the same position with the People's Power League at this time. In all these movements he has oeen one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing their measures to the people. He fays that the choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of the people, and that the Legislature should "be compelled to elect the man the people select. To accomplish this result, he is championing Statement No. 1 of the primary election law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystal lized and made effective upon the Legislature. In his petition for nomination he says: 'If I am nominated and elected I will, daring my term ' office, favor: Republican Politics. Amending National Constitution for People's Election of United States Senators. Publicity Political Campaign Expenses. National Control of Corporations in Interstate Commerce. Rigid Exclusion of Asiatic Coolie Labor, Good Wages Make Good Citizens. Legal Limitation Labor Hours for Safety on Bailroads. Parcels PosIncluding Eural Delivery. Pure Food Laws.
