SHERMAN of New York. For Presidential Electors J. D. LEE. of Multnomah County F. J. MILLER, of Linn County A. C. MARSTERS, of Douglass County R. R BUTLER, of Gilliam County REPUBLICAN QUARRELS. We would be pleased to have every Rerublican in Benton coun ty read the following extracts from the National Tribune as its notes of warning are certainly applicable to Oregon and should induce every Republican to wake up and go to work : Are the Republicans goine to settle up their quarrels ? The well-wishers of the party are be ginning to ask that question with all seriousness. For while Nom inee Taf t is the apostle of peace and has been doing much to place the olive bransh in the handy of all concerned the month of Au gust is slipping away, and inter party fights are quite as acute as acute as ever, Republican quarrels are not al lowed to distract well-informed men, as a rule. Fiercely as the party wrangles before the Con ventions its factions are accus tomed to close the ranks after Conventions. August is usually the great month for the Republi can peacemaker. The quarrels this year have been of an aggra vated character, and the month of September, when the Presi dential campaign begins, finds the party fighting inside its own lines. The old and prac iced peacemakers seem to have retired this year. New men are at the helm, and they are not as skillful as some of the oldsters were. National Chairman Hicchcock is giving some attention to the adjustment of these factional fights, but in spite of him and of Taft the fighters keep on fight ing. Every effort to patch up a peace seems to be followed by a new outburst of trouble The j olive branch work, however, seems to be of the utmost import ance at this stage, of even more importance than the organization for the National campaign. For, although voters are very intelli gent in splitting tickets, the fact remains that with local quarrels the National ticket is .bound to suffer. President Roosevelt's hand is seen more and more in the man agement of campaign affairs. Apparently nothing of import- ance is done without consulting j him. Every little while the newspaper dispatches tell how this appointment to campaign work was made at the suggestion of President Roosevelt. The travelers up to Oyster Bay are not quite as numerous as the , travelers to Hot Springs, but very j many of them are oh campaign . errands. National Chairman Hitchcock goes there every little while to report, and he is execu-, be safely predicted that Hadley ting many of the President's di-1 will make one of the ablest, most rections in the management of energetic and most valuable gov the campaign. j ernors in the country, He is a One good feature for Republi- young man of great ability and cans in the West is the fact that promise.

The radical public affairs in recent years. candidate for Governor was also nominated. Both of these nom inations will help the Republican ticket and strengthen Taft's cause in the State. Whether as much can be said in Illinois is un certain. However, once the pri r maries are out of the way Repub licans are more apt to get togeth er for the campaign. Soon the effort will be to arouse some interest among the Repub licans in their National ticket. There is great lethargy. True this is August, and the election is 11 weeks away. Lethargy has become a growing feature of campaigns in recent years, and sometimes is not as dangerous as it might seem. None ti e less, the fact is thSt the ticket of Taft and Sherman has not aroused much enthusiasm. The applause has been perfunctory from the country at large. There has not been sufficient disposition to take off one's1 coat and get into the work of winning voters. Inter est in the personal differences of the leaders has been more pro nounced. For these reasons many good friends of the Republican Party want to see a change in the spirit of the campaign. They argue that it is time for the columns to be moving forward. Taf ts chan ces for election, of course are good, but the idea 13 becoming prevalent that it is possible to lose the Presidency if they do not watch out- ISSUE OF CAMPAIGN. The overshadowing issue of the campaign really is: Shall the administration of President Roosevelt be approved? Shall a party of demonstrated capacity in administrative affairs be con tinued in power; shall the reins of government be placed in ex perienced hands, or do the people prefer to trust their destinies to an aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists whose only claim to history is a party name they pilfered? With a record of four decades of wise legislation ; two-score years of faithful administration; offering its fulfilled pledges as a guaranty of its promises for the future, the Republican party ap peals to the people and, with full confidence in their wisdom and patriotism, awaits the rendition of the November verdict. Sher . - t- 1 1 - ni 1 man's speeeh of acceptance. The Republicans of Missouri feel that with Taft and Hadley as leaders they are in fine shape for contesting the state in the present campaign Missouri is. one of the states that will be vigorously fought for. Nation ally, its electoral vote of eighteen and congressional delegation of sixteen may not be necessary to the choice of the next adminis tration, and to a Republican ma jority in the next House, but it can never be prudent to let a single vote go by default. Mis souri was Republican by over 20,000 in 1904, and Democratic by a few thousands in the off-year 1906. It ought to be Republican next year on the national issues presented. With its varied in dustries, agricultural, manufac turing and mining, Missouri cer tainly should be Republican if protection alone were the policy at stake. Mr. Hadley's unanimous nomi nation for governor opens a large vista of progress for the state. The succession of governors for thirty-six years has been Demo- cratic without a respite. 1 his is the politics of Bourbonism, based on ring manipulation, state board rule for cicies, gerrymanders and other gross unfairness.

Globe-Democrat. A Harney county Republican was heard to murmur the follow ing a few days ago and to voice the conclusion that it is no won !er there is vitality in the Demo cratic party : ' ' Wherever you find a county court that is Demo cratic you find every line of pat ronage it controls going to the Democratic newspaper and never a smell to the Republican paper. Wherever you find a Democratic official with patronage to bestow if-, is the same thing. But on the other hand, when you find a Re publican official with patronage to give he either divides it with tVio TVmno.ratie Daner or. gives the latter the lion's share." News. Henry Wattersou, of the Lou isville Courier-Journal, predicts the same "ground-swell for Bry an thia war that we had for Cleveian(j jn 1902." The people have not yet forgotten that the "swell" soon vanished and the soup-house took its place. Over at Colfax, Washington, a woman left her four children at home and went to the theater. The men were away harvesting. The bouse caught fire in the night aud the children were burned to death. What do you think of that for criminal carelessness? Council Proceedings.

The fresh cow has a right to good care. If she does not get it her ownei will suffer. The fresh cow, especially if young, is nervous and excitable. Foi this very reason she acts In such a way as to annoy her owner or keeper, but the owner or keeper is not wise who is weak enough to give vent to his annoyance in abuse of the cow. The cow is not to blame for her nervous, j condition. Harshness will actually lessen materially the supply of milk. The man who cannot control his tem per would better let dairying alone, lie cannot make It pay. The fresh cow also requires care and judgment in feeding on account of hei feverish condition. She Is not only fevetish, but weak. She will crave water, but only a little food. The water will be better if it Is slightly warmed. Professor Smith of the Uni versity of Nebraska suggests the fol lowing as a method of feeding for the first few days following calving: "Whatever is given her should be of a light character, such as well cured clover or alfalfa and a little bran, pref erably made Into a mash by the use of warm water. A few pounds of bran will have a cooling and laxative effect, which is always beneficial just after calving. The' following day fouT or five pounds of a mixture of equal parts of corn, oats and bran would prove satisfactory. "Without oats it would be well to feed equal parts by weight of corn and bran, gradually increasing the corn to three-fourths of the grain ration, at the same time making the daily feed gradually larger until at the end of three weeks she is receiving a full ra tion of ten or twelve pounds of grain per day, the exact amount depending upon the size of the cow. In the mean time the cow should be given all the clover or alfalfa hay she will con sume." Cows In Hot Weather. Spray the cows before they are turned out to pasture In the morning with a mixture of equal parts of coal oil and fish oil. Cne gill, applied with a spray syringe, trill cover the neck, shoulders and legs of One cow. The following mixture Is recommended by the 'Wisconsin experiment station: Resin, one and- ohf-half pounds; com mon soap, two cakes; fish oil, one-half pint, : and water, three gallons. Dis solve the resin by boiling In one gallon of water' and the soap cut fine. When dissolved add the fish oil and' tne' re-' malfifler of the water. Stir thoroughly before using: Apply with sryrrnpre or bFush. i This 4s an . excellent fly repel- leHtie-id -effective. Notice of Reduced Rates.
