Presidential election Nov. 3, THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. COUNTY The position of representative to the legislature is an important math is the Republican candidate, a very worthy, excellent man of learning and good experience and ability. He is a well known edu cator, having held high positions as instructor in the colleges of the state. His duties as repre sentative for Benton county will be performed honorably, to his credit, and faithfully for the people. The office of sheriff is one in which the people can be much neglected or safely guarded. W. S. Gellatly is the Republican can di dale for f he position. He has grown to manhood in Benton county, and is a member of one of the best families in this coun ty. He is of Scotch descent, hon orable and capable, and should make a good, efficient officer. The people cannot make a mis take in casting their vote for Mr. Gellatly for sheriff. The County Clerk's office is one wherein the incumbent comes in daily contact with the people of the county in the transaction of their county business. T. T. Vin cent is the Republican candidate for that office. Mr. Vincent served Benton county as Recorder of Conveyances, making a very eiticient omcer. ms service as County Cierk is probably the best the county ever had except that of B. W. Wilson. Mr. Vincent attends strictly to the duties of his office and has constantly re fused to permit himself to be used as a tool to promote the sel fish purposes of those who have since become his detractors. Hence some of these disappoint ed people have made unusual assaults upon his work. Mr. Vincent has generally satisfied his supporters, and there is good reason why he should receive the hearty support of the people. The office of county recorder where the title deeds of land owners are recorded is a position which concerns all owners of real estate. Emery J. Newten, the present incumbent, is the Repub lican candidate for re-election. Mr. Newton is a capable young man, born and raised in Benton county. He has made an efficient, obliging and painstaking officer and most assuredly should be re elected. The office of county assessor is one which materially affects the interests of every property holder in the county. It is the duty of that officer to value and assess all property in the county equally and ratably the same- W. G. Lane is the republican candidate for that office. Mr. Lane spent a large part of his business career as a professional country sshool teacher, until a few years ago. His contact with property has made him a good judge of values. By education and business ex perience he is particularly quali fied to perform well the duties of assessor. The office of school superinten dent affects every person in the county and, has nearly all to do with making efficient the public school system of the county. H. L. Mack, whose name has been repeatedly commended in the columns of the Gazette for the position, will make a good, effi cient officer, and the Gazette recommends him for the position. A county commissioner is one of three officers who manage and conduct the general business of the county. The three compose the county court for the trans action of county business. They pass upon and allow or reject all bills presented for payment against the county. On their ac tion depends considerably ' the amount of money which must be collected by taxation for the pay ment of county expenses- W. A. Hawley, a resident of the southern part of Benton county, is a candidate for that important office. Mr. Hawley is a son of one of the early pioneer families of this county. He is a success ful farmer and stock raiser of this county, a man of affairs in his locality, respected and having the confidence and high esteem of all who are acquainted with h;m. He is a careful, conserva tive and successful business man of good judgment and will make a good, faithful officer for the county. The Gazette takes pleas ure in recommending him in the highest degree. r . Marion winces is a young man of ability and a graduate of the State Agricultural College, a resident of Corvallis and now a candidate for surveyor of Benton county. He acquired his know ledge of surveying in the Agri cultural College which is a high er recommendation for him for the duties of the office than any other recommendation the Gaz ette can give him, except to men tion that he acquired his scholar ly attainments through this pop ular, first and best educational institution in the state of Oregon. II. M. CAKE. Every available seat was occu pied at the court house last Thurs day evening by attentive listen ers to the address of Hon. H. M. Cake, who is a candidate on the republican ticket for United States Senator. Mr. Cake ex plained thoroughly the reason why the people of Oregon should elect a republican for United States Senator. Oregon is a new state. Her future development must depend largely upon appro priations received by Congres sional legislation for the improve ment of the natural resources of the state. In both houses of Congress there is a large repub lican majority. In order to se cure the most favorable legisla tion a republican senator can ob tain better results than a demo crat, because more favorably in touch with the majority in Con gress. A republican senator has an opportunity Of securing promi nent positions on important Con gressional committees whereby he can render material aid in ob taining legislation most valuable to the state. On the other hand it is rarely the case where a democratic senator in Congress with a large republican majority ' ever obtains influential positions on important committees. - Also it is seldom the case that a demo cratic senator ever becomes the author of important legislation where the majority is republican. nother very important reason was urged that, as Oregon is a republican state, the voters of the republican party should cast their ballots for a republican sen ator in order to maintain the state in the republican column- It was observed very' clearly throughout Mr. Cake's address that he was very reluctant in urging any reasons personal to himself. While the reasons urged by Mr. Cake are very important why the voters should elect him as their choice for United S- ates Senator, there are other good reasons not mentioned by him and which the Gazette treats more in detail in another article Among the most important of uicsc la me a., wiou xixj , ucmc has not followed politics as a business or profession or as an , Tl i r office seeker. He has jor many vears Performed the simole duties as a citizen of Portland, and as one of the many business men of the city. He has taken a promi nent part in the public duties of assisting in the arduous work of building up the business interests of his home city and thereby the . State at large. Becoming a Can- didate for United States Senator is a departure from his usual course of business. Mr. Cake is an able man and deserves the hearty support of his fellow republicans. OUR SENATOR. H. M. Cake is an able man, who has taken an active part in the developing of Portland, his home city. For many years he was president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, devoting his energies to building up along these lines. Mr. Cake has not heretofore taken -a part in poli tics, other than that of a citizen, and not sufficiently so as to be classed as a politician. lie is classed as a good lawyer, and his efforts have qualified him as a good business man, otherwise he could not have been entrusted by his companions so long as presi dent of the Chamber of Com merce, the leading business or ganization of the city of Portland. It is universally understood that too many mere politicians are elected members of the Senate of the United States. While good men are generally elected as senators, yet a mere politician, from the very nature of his calling, cannot become completely in touch with the business people and their inter ests. The fact of Mr. Cake's close connection with the business in terests of his city and his long service along those lines, puts him in line so when elected as senator he will be in touch with the needs of the people and quali fied best to serve their interests. FIFTEEN YEARS OF AGONY. Will You Continue to Suffer From Catarrh in the Face of This Testimony. "I suffered for fifteen years witti ce- tarrbal troubles so bad that I had to leave the sea. I could not lie down at night to sleep, on account of the constant ca tarrhal dropping. I went to two different hospitals for treatments but without any lasting benefit. . I was constantly rais ing yellow and green phlegm, and the trouble was so unbearable and nauseat ing that I was ashamed to go out in com pany. I have need only two bottles of Hyomei, and have been cured bv the remedy It has made full and complete recovery. Capt. Willnef." Hyomei is a drv, healing, antiseptic air, extracted from the Eucalyptus groves of Australia. It is a pleasure to use Hyomei, because you d" not take it into the Etomach; yon simply breathe in this germ-kiliing air, and relief is immediate and complete recovery comes in a few days. Hyomei outfit, including an in haler that will last a lifetime, costs $1.00. If it does not enre your catatrb, asthma, bronchitis, roughs or colds, Graham & Wells will give yon your money back. - Young Folks JACKETS! Eit of Conversation Overheard From a Closet. There was au uneasy stir at one side of the closet. It was Lou's jacket. Finally it spoke in a tired, nervous voice: - "Oh. dear: Lou has left me hanging by a loop, and my shoulders sag so that 1 can hardly get my breath. 1 don't know how 1 can ever look nice and fresb if 1 get no rest." May's jacket roused itself to answer: "You poor thing. 1 am so sorry for you: Now. my shoulders are resting so nicely on this coat frame. May is never in too much of a hurry to slip ru.e well on it. Tomorrow some one will be sure to say to her, "How fresh and nice your jacket looks:' " "That's just it!" grumbled Lou's jacket. "And they will say to Lou: 'Ilow wrinkled your jacket is.: It doesn't seem to keep its shape at all well.' And all tbe time it is not my fault. How can 1 rest hung only bv i a loop, and ttwt not a strong one? i There's a button off. too. and a three ! cornpred tear ln ne ! XDe rery uncomfortable. 1 suppose wuen it is torn birser her mother win see It and mend it for her. Oh. dear. tnis loop is giving way, and l am go ing to fall to the floor! I suppose that means dust and more wrinkles." With a gasp, the jacket sat down, falling directly upon a pair of muddy overshoes. May's jacket peered down through darkness to where the other lay for. a J.KfT nap. It looked so fresh and bright the j next morning that no one ever dreamed it knew au about the troubles of Lou's jacket. A QUEER LIGHTHOUSE. Lampless Beacon In the Hebrides Lights the Mariner's Way. On Armish rock, In the Hebrides, Scotland, there Is a lighthouse with out a light. That does not mean that the light has been removed from it; that the house is no longer used for Its legitimate purpose. On the con trary, it serves as a beacon for the sailors and fishermen every night, and yet there Is no light In it It is perhaps the most remarkable lighthouse in the world. It Is conical In shape, and at the summit is a lan tern in which there is a mirror. On Lewis Island, 500 feet distant is an, ordinary lighthouse, and from a win dow in'" Its tower a stream of light is thrown on the mirror In the Annish rock -Zantern. The rays of this light are reflected to an arrangement of prisms, which make them converge to a focus outside the lantern, and from there they diverge in the necessary di rection. Thus a lighthouse exists that has neither lamp nor keeper, and yet it serves all the purposes in its locality of a costly and elaborate structure with all the accessories that modern light houses have. Descriptions In Prose and Verse. Pass around slips of paper ,to each player. Each one writes his or her own name at the top of the paper and folds it over to conceal the name. These slips are collected and redistrib uted, with instructions to compose and write a rhyme or verse about the per son whose name is on the paper of course without looking or knowing whose it is. The apropos or malapro pos hits make lots of fun. Then distribute slips to the young men only, each having the name of some girl present written at the top and folded over to keep it secret. The young men are to describe the girls from memory. Not knowing whom they are to portray, the naturally pro duce glaring misfits which are extreme ly laughable. The Witch. called me Muwer, you know. a witch, you So I borrowed gran'muwer's hood, 'Cause witches they don't never wear any hats. An" witches they always have black cats.
