Today the people of Ore gon nominate their county offi cers, members of the state legis lature, and two candidates for the United States senate, besides some nominations for local posi tions. *9 wordy quarrel. It will be re membered that we presented the claims of the Oak Grove citizens in opposition to Mr. Hurlburt. It appears that his opponent. Mr. Clyde B. Aitchison was one of the officials of the defunct Title Guarantee and Trust company and is now awaiting trial for his abuse of public confidence in those connections. We are "be tween the devil and the deep sea” now. Is there no choice? Yes, there is another man in the race. Look up C. C. Louks. This is all well enough, but we would like to see a device in vented whereby the fellow who has a "hurry-up” call could press a button and bring sente kind of action and knock a fellow forty ways for Sunday who insists on doing his courting by telephone. The dealer in society news or neighborhood gossip ought to come in for her (?) share, and the busy wife who details her miseries, her old man's miseries, her children's miseries, and the whole bl family's political, rel igious. social. moral and physical affairs, while you wait and see your opportunity fade to a hope less hope, should be handed a jaw-breaker that would relieve her of further responsibility!
