- His Record.
The following items relating
to the career E. Woodward, who
is seeking republican nomination
tor the office ot county iadare.
bear witness to the confidence
which the people repose in him:
He was elected president of
the council of the City of Cor
vallisjune 8, i8q6, and was elect
ed mayor of the city bv the coun
cil February 8, 1897, on the
death of Col. John Kelsav. In
May following he was re-elected
mayor by the people, which
position he had until June i,
1898, when, having been elected
county judge, he thought it
necessary for him to resign his
mayoralty as questions misht
arise between the city and county
that would embarrass his freedom j
to act on behalf of the county. I
During his administration the
city indebtedness was reduced
nearly one-fourth. He is now
before the people and will un
doubtedly receive a satisfactory
number of votes.
The Man for Commissioner.
A packed house greeted Fred
erick Warde, the no'ed Shakespear
ean reader, upon his appearance t
th opera notice Friday evening.
A bttter testimonial of cultured
taste has not b?en given in this
citv in a 1 ng time than the repre
sentative audience that turned out
to pitronize this high class event.
Probably no one in the house felt
vssiippointed in the entertainment
sffjided, and by those well "up" in
this c'ass of work Mr. Warde is de
clared to be euperb, and an artist
of rare ability. The Corvallis opera
house management is to be con
gratulated upon the success and
satisfaction attendant on their
edbrts in securing this splendid at
traction.
The struggle waxes warm in the

contest in which a number of
young ladies are to be sent on a
free trip to Yellowstone Park. The
eleventh district is composed of
Hood River, LaGrande and Cor
valli?, and there will be one lady
sent from the district. While Miss
Agr.ess Wilson of this city still
leads by 4,715 votes, LaGrande is
gaining and Hood River shows a
lively increase. The three candi
dates range thus: Corv&llig, 43.959;
LaGrande, 44,242; Hood River,
3(5,916. Every Oregonian reader
should cut out the free coupons
from his paper each day and vote
for Mies Wilson, and if possible
give her the -benefit of a re-hewal
subscription, which counts several
hundred in vo'es. n ?-T?-
Mies Lillian Nelson, an OAC,
student, who has been ill for some
weeks with a severe attack of ty
phoid fever, is reported as not im
proved. The young lady resides
near the reading room, with her
grandmother.
The time has passed when the

tions tit him for that office.
Judge Watson of Portland owe hi8
popularity in hia present campaign
f-r United States Senator, to this
fac.
S. B. Huston is honest and frank
witn tne people ot nis district, he is
not afraid to tell the people frankly
what he f 'vors.
The baid gave another open air
concert on Main utreet Saturday
afternoon, nd a good crowd gather
ed to enjoy the mufic. While
organized only two weeks, the boys
play remarkably well and the ag
gregation is certain to become very
popular. The conceit Saturday
was highly enjoyed by all.
George W. Smith, through thestrorg
solicitation of his friends in Corvallis
and the country, has become a candi
date for county commissioner. No better
man can be found in our county. Suc
cessful in business, having the utmost
confidence of bis friends, fearless ot
action, and with every interest of our
county at heart, especially makes him
an ideal candidate.
If Mr. Smith is nominated no one will
ever have to apologize for his official
acts. He stands on his own good iudsr-
tnent. He seeks the nomination on bis
merits as a man, not on the demerits of
any opponent.
George Smith is known by every citi
zen of our county as a man who can be
trusted. He is opposed to any act which
will in any way be against the best in
terests of all citizens.
Reward Merit.
On the record of Attorney-General A.
M. Crawford the voters of Oregon should
place their stamp of approval. Further
more,' they should endorse his adminis.
tration of the affairs of his office by re
nominating him and later by re-electing
him. This is a courtesy that he has
merited several times over.
During the four years of his adminis
tration of the matters that have devolved
upon him as attorney-general of Oregon,
Mr. Crawford has in no instance "been
found wanting, and this is the character
of man we all need and it is now up to
us when we ballot next Friday to show
our appreciation and reward real merit.
Additional Local.
An excellent E8ter program wis

meetings ot the various Boards
of the M.J E. church, South. He
will be absent about six weeks, and

Nashville, Tennessee and Birm

The most vital thing before the
republican voters of Oregon to
day, is the election of the United
States Senator. In making this
selection, great care should be taken.
The man who is broad minded,
progressive, experienced and honest
should be chosen. Who will deny
that Judge Watson meets all the
above requirements?
Republicans Do you oppose railroads
charging exhorbitant freight rates? Are you
opposed to cheap Chinese labor? Public
officials traveling on railroad passes? Then
vote for S. B. Huston.
That the voters of Oregon are
carefully reviewing the history and
character of the different candi
dates for the important office of
United States Senator, is a great
encouragement to men whose char
acter and reputation are above re
proach. Thbse who haye investi
gated the splendid record of Judge
E. B- Watson, are enthusiastic in
his support for the office of United
States Senator.
