A farmer subscriber says the candi
dates' advertising before the primaries
was overdone. It will be hard to
make Jonathan Bourne, Willis Duni
way, and other successful candidates,
believe that statement. Advertising
is all right, either as a business-getter
or a vote-getter. The only trouble is,
some merchants and some candidates
don't do enough of it.
Walter L. Tooze, chairman of the
Republican congressional committee
of the First District of Oregon, has
issued a call for a meetini? of the
committee in Salem on Saturday, May
5, for the purpose of organization and
to discuss any and all matters con
nected with the present campaign.
Rubbernecks are having a hard
time of it in San Francisco. Three!
prominent business men of Oregon,
while viewing the ruins a few days
ago, were forced to go to work with
gangs engaged in cleaning up the
city. The military authorities arei
putting every able-bodied man at
work, and no excuses are taken.
MR. BOURNE WINS.
The nomination of Jonathan Bourne
for United States Senator was the big
surprise of the primary election.
Early returns gave H. M. Cake a lead
of over 1000 votes and It was believed
by all that this lead could not be over
come. For three days Mr. Cake had
been receiving teletrrams of con
gratulation from his friends in Ore
gon, and the news was sent to all
parts of the United States that Cake
had won the nomination. Mr. Bourne,
himself, had conceded his defeat and
had given Mr. Cake assurances of his
hearty support. The late returns
which gave the nomination to Bourne
therefore came as a surprise to every
voter In the state.
The Observer was a supporter of
Mr. Cake, and used every honorable
means to secure his nomination. It
favored Mr. Cake because it believed
him to be the most suitable candidate
for the office. But Mr. Bourne is the
nominee of the Republican party, and,
as such, is entitled to Republican sup
port. Senator Gearin stands for
Democratio principles; Mr. Bourne
stands for Republican principles;
therefore, the Ouserveu will take
pleasure In supporting Mr. Bourne.
As our readers are aware, the Ob
berver has never favored the Direct
Primary Law; neither has it favored
Statement No. 1. But the present time
is not the proper time for a discussion
of these measures. The people have
expressed their wishes at the polls,
and the candidates chosen by the Re
publican voters are entitled to Repub
lican support at the June election.
Mr. Bourne has conducted a vigorous
and skillful campaign, and has
amply demonstrated his ability to
accomplish what he undertakes. The
result of this energy and efficiency in
Washington would bo felt for the
great good of Oregon, and the poople
would have the satisfaction of know
ing that their interests would not
bo neglected.
The Dominations for state officers
are highly pleasing to ttie Observer.
All the candidates are men of high
integrity and ability, and the business
affairs of the state will bo safe in their
hands. The ticket Is well distributed
geographically, and every candidate i
is worthy of the support of his party
Likewise, the Republican nominees
for the offices in Polk county are en
titled to unanimous party support.
The Observer hopes, and believes,
that the Republican ticket will bo
elected to a man.
It will be noticed that on his journey
from Seattle to Waldport, Holy Roller
Crei'fleld avoided Corvallis as he
would a pestilence. Evidently, he
has no hankering for a second coat of
tar and feathes.

"Holy Rollering" Again.
Creffleld, the scoundrel who poses as
a saint, passed through Benton county of Circuit Court for Polk county :
May Jury List.
The following panel of jurors has
been drawn to serve at the May term
Saturday, and followed by some of
his former victims, is again at his
old tricks in a camp near Waldport.
This time ho is palming himself off
on his foolish followers as Jesus
Christ risen from the dead, his resur
rection having been his emergence
from the state penitentiary, Some of
his followers are said to accept him as
the Risen Christ. Crefflold's trip
through Benton was by private con
veyance from Airlie, Polk county, to
Wren, Benton county. According to
all accounts, a camp Is to bo estab
lished near Waldport and a revelrv
n rollerisra carried on. Creffleld was
accompanied by his- wife. She was
divorced from him last year, but they
were re-married in Seattle several
weeks ago. Corvallis Times.

No cleaner fight was ever made in
Polk county than the three-cornered
contest between M. D. Ellis, U. L.
Frazer and I. A. Allen for the nomin
ation for Sheriff. Good feeling pre
vailed throughout the campaign, and
no personalities or abuse of any kind
wereindulged in. When early returns
gave strong Indications that Mr.
Frazer had defeated Mr. Ellis, the
latter accepted the apparent result with
rare good nature, and expressed him
self as anxious to do all in his power
