CAMPAIGN OPENED.
.As may be seen by the official
call from the chairmen of the
state, congressional and . county
committees, the fall campaign
will take definite shape at the
court on Tuesday night at about
8 o'clock.
We believe it to be the ?uty of
every American "citizen to study
the conditions and environments
surrounding him .and in every
manner possible seek to obtain
the best results for the commu
nity in which he. lives. In 'local
affairs we are often guided by
feelings of friendship for our
neighbor and friend, knowing full
well his fitness and qualification
for the position, hence we often
lay aside our political proclivities
and permit ourselves to he guided
by friendship and brotherly love.
Now comes the questions of
broader and deeper significance
in which the canvass is extended
to cover one vast and mighty
army of happy and contented peo
ple. By your vote is the future
weal or woe of this nation to be
determined, hence you owe it to
your family, to your friends,, and
to your country to take an active
interest in a -National contest.
If you believe the interests of
our people' would ' be :&af er an d
. surer witil Taft as ! President
do your duty as a citizen by )cojn
ing to the. court ; house on Tues
day night ana ; . enrolling your
name as a member of the first
Taft club organized in Benton
county. Let us start a red-hot
fire under the political pot in the
county seat and keep shoving in
the fuel until the glow of heat
will be felt in every school dis
trict in the county. ,
Let us wage a nice, clean cam
paign, worthy of the cause we
represent, and when the returns
come in we will be pleased to see
the largest republican vote ever
cast in Benton county. Don't
fail to show your smiling face
among the faithful and have your
name recorded with the brethren.
MORMON QUESTION.
The Mormon question seems to
be cutting quite a wide swath in
the Democratic party in Idaho.
Ex-Senator Dubois has waged a
bitter warfare against the Mor
mons during the past two years,
hence this element of the party
has sought out a new Moses by
name Alexander and nominated
him for Governor.
They intend to go right down
into the Mormon settlement and
line up the . unterrified, after
which they will beard the lion in
his den in the northern counties
where the DuBois sentiment is
strongest.
This Moses proposes to show
the Mormon brethren that the
Dubois wing has persecuted them
during the past two years and if
his pernicious doctrine is not
checked the time will soon come
when a man cannot have more
than a half dozen wives, even in
Idaho or Utah.
Moses Alexander tells them a
bitter warfare has been waged in
their behalf and that their prop
er place is in the democratic
party. " " - 'J,.j-,i.:''
Now just think of that! With
Bryan playing for the negro' vote
in' the middle states and Moses
Alexander lining up the Mormans
against us in Idaho,: it begins to
look black for the Republican
party in" November r T "t
BRYAN IN 1924.
When Mr. Bryan was notified
in 1916 he made his paramount
issue the regulation of depart
ment stores; in 1920 he demanded
the defeat of the Republicans be
cause of the miserable way in
which they had enforced the
smoke ordinance. But in 1924,
when a great concourse had gath
ered in front of Fairview, Mr.
Bryan tottered out UDon the
porch and said : "Fellow citi
zens, the paramount issue this
year is "me." I am getting to
he an old man. I should be put
ting aside millions for my family
faster than I am. I cannot afford
to take the time from my lecture
engagements to run for ; Presi
dent.. The phonographic busi
ness, which I unfortunately start
ed in 1908, has proved a mistake.
The people have been so famil
iarized with my voice, they won't
cross the - street to hear me at a
dollar a throw.- I have had to
cut rates for the first time in my
lecture career. It is up to you,
neighbors and fellow citizens, to
elect me this time. I hereby re
new my pledges of 1900, 1908.
1912, 1916 and 1920 not to be a
candidate for a second term."
With a mighty cheer for the peer
less one the meeting, broke up. -
Note At the election in No
vember, 1924, Kermit Roosevelt
was elected over Mr. Bryan by "an
old-time Roosevelt majority.

Now What Do You Think of
That?
The recent award of first prize
in the county exhibit at State
Fair places Benton county as
the banner agricultural county
in the great state of Oregon. It
is the best advertisement this
county has ever had and will
draw more people to our county
than anything we could have
done. It now falls to our farmer
friends to labor earnestly to sus
tain the reputation ' we have
gained by hard work.
