s'C-.-oi'iilms for the ini-rei'.c of 1(1 over
tin' tutaiv in the table published iu last
week's New s Record.
On the Republican county ticket for
only oue oIKce is there but one candi-
ate county judge. Ttiero are live
candidates for the Republican nomina
tion for sheriff, two for treasurer, font
for assessor, two for school superintend
ent., two for survejor and two for
county commissioner, but ni candidates
lor county clerk or coroner. There are
18 names for county offices on the
Republican ballot.
No names appear on the Democratic
primary ballots for three com ty
tilces school superintendent, surveyoi
and coroner. For one office, county
clerk, there is but one candidate, W. C.
Boatman, and he is further honored by
having no opponent on the Republican
ballots. This would be equivalent
under the old convention system to
being nominated by' both parties, an
exceptional honor, and is -due both to
personal popularity and his fitness for
the office. Two Democrats siek the
nomination by their party for county
judge, two for sheriff, two for treasurer,
three for assessor and two for county
commissioner, making a total of 12
mimes for county offices ou the Demo
cratic ballots.
Cake is considered pretty good most
any dHy in the year by a big majority
of peop'e, but indications are it is going
to be extra popular Friday of this week.
The next judge of the 10th judicial
district will be a resident of Wallowa
county if the Democratic voters of this
county do their duty Friday.
It will keep the Hon. D. W. Shcahm
busier to live up to his picture in last
week's News Record, than to fulfill all
the good things that were said about
him in that same paper. It's lucky for
his opponents the women can't vote, f
Gene VV. Hall, the candidate for
fchool superintendent, informs us that,
if he is nominated and elected by the
oters of Wallowa county, he will de
vote his entire time to the duties of the
otlice. He also stftes that ho will not
iigajio in teaching during his term ex
:jpt for tho purpose of filling vacancies,
and iu the latter case his services will
be given w ithout expense to the district.

mention of his name for mayor is re

The fir:-t candidate to lie brought
out bv the North Country this spring
was C. II. Allen for the Republican
nomination for assessor. Xo limp ovir
received a more flattering endorsement
from his community than he did. Mr.
Allen has proven a good mixer and is
making a lot of friends on his present
trip to the valley.
All guesses of the succcfsful ones at
Friday's primary include "Uncle Hi"
Williams -'S Democratic nominee for
county judge. The voters know just
exactly where he stauds on every
question likely to come btfore the
court There are no strings foi:
Williams. If he ia elected, he will be
judgH. While he may not be acceptable
to the silk-stockinged brigade, or those
who favor big appropriations, yet the
!i0 acre taxpayer, who believes in
keeping expenses down to the lowest
notch compatible with good public
service, like Williams and will vote lor
bi:n iu sufficient numbers to more
than make up for the other fellows.
" Tis pleasant to see brothers dwell
ing tugetlier In unity," suul trol 1'uce as
he stood watching the rival candidates
for tlie Di mocruliu nomination for
sheriff, lldgiir .Marvin and E. C. Deny,
in the same bugi;y driving out of Eu

quotations.
In spite of the desperate efforts of the
old machine and representatives of cer- J
tain big I't rusts" to accomplish his de- j
feat, the nomination of II. M. Cake,1
champion of statement No. 1, for
United States senator on April 17th,
is cener; lly conceded throughout the
state. It is predicted in Portland that j
he will carry Multnomah county by
between 5000 and 0000. With few ex
ceptions, the newspapers ot the state
have rallied loyally to Mr. Cake's . sup
port. In urejng his nomination, the
Polk County Observer savs:
- '-Hon. H. M. Cake is making a mag
nificent cam pnign and his nomination,
never seriously in doubt, is now prac
tically assured by a rousing majority.
Knthusiiistic crowds have flocked to
hear him in his trip through Southern
Oregon and his tour of Eastern Oregon
where he has always been strong with
the voters, promises to be in tho ua'ure
of a triumphal march. Mr. Cake is
making a clean, dignified campaign, free
from personality or abuse ami is
earnestly advocating tho principles he
believes to be right. lie is an able,
effective speaker who makes no attempt
ut high-flown oratory, but takes the
people into his confidence and has a
quiet heart-to-heart talk with them on
the important issues now heforo the
people of the state and nation the
most effective oratory by tho way, that
can be indulged in by any public
speaker in this piactical age. He
dodges no issues, straddles no questions,
but frankly discusses every subject in a
manner that leaves no doubt in any
mind as to his sincerity. In Mr. Cake
the people feel they have a man whom
they can trust ; one who would repre
sent them honorably and fearlessly in
the nation's highest law-making bedy."
