CAKE DISCUSSES RESULT
Says Personalities Cut No Figure in
Senatorial Nomination Last
Friday.
"The splendid victory of the people
Is, to my mind, the clearest Indication
that they will not permit their rights
to be tampered with," said Mr, Cake.
"It Is plainly evident that personalities
had nothing whatever to do with the
result of Friday 's prim aries. I' attrib
ute my victory absolutely to tbe deter
mination of the people to hold fast to
the rights which they have labored so
hard to gain. ' My firm conviction
with reference to the popular election
of United States senators and State
ment No. 1, and my earnest advocacy
of that cause is, without doubt, the
cause of my selection by the Republi
cans of this State.
"An incidental but powerful cause
of Friday's victory, together with the
sentiment in favor of Statement No. 1,
was the newspapers throughout the
state of Oregon. To my mind, there
could be no more striking illustration
of the power of the papers which are
not metropolitan papers. I estimate
that fully 80 per 'cent of the news
papers of the state are ardent advo
cates of the populareleotlon of senators
and Statement No. 1. As exponents of
that cause they supported me, not me
personally, but the people's rights.
There is nothing that I can say with
reference to the power of these news
papers further than to point to the
result of Friday's election.
"The defeat of Senator Fulton was
due in no sense to his personality, to
his record, or to anything that he has
ever done. In my estimation it is due
simply, as I said before, to the fact
that the people insisted on a more
positive position than the senator
assumed with reference of the legis
lators to carry out the expressed will
of the people."
DALLAS HORSE FOR PARADE
Walter .Sears Offers 'Fine Riding
Animal For King: of Portland
Rose Fair. ' f
Walter Sears, of Dallas, thinks he
has just the horse wbloh the Rose
Festival association wants for Rex
Oregon us to ride upon and it is
possible that his animal may be
selected. In a letter to The Journal
Mr. Sears writes :
"I have in my livery barn here a
horse that I think will fill the bill to
perfection. It Is a snow-white mare,
weight about 926 pounds, standing 15
hands and one inch, long flowing
mane and tail ; in fact I think it Is
especially fitted for the, leadership of
the parade. I would be pleased to
hear from the proper committee
regarding the matter."
The festival association wished to
secure a horse to lead the triumphal
entry of the king of the festival into
the city and If Mr. Sears' animal fills
requirements it will probably be
used. Portland Journal.

Auto Causes Runaway.
While George Fuller was returning
from a trip to, Salem, Thursday even
ing, his team took fright at a passing
auto when he was out of the rig
loosening their checks at the Eola
watering trough, and bolted suddenly
before he was able to get a firm grip
on the reins and stop them. The
horses kept to the road however and
soon quieted down and trotted Into
Dallas as if nothing bad happened.
George secured a horse from B. L
Ferguson, of Eola, aud followed them,
arriving in Dallas only a short time
after the team reached here.

Daring: Burglars
Foiled !
The residences of several of our best citizens were
attacked by a band of blacklegs now infesting this
city, in the shape of Flies, Mosquitos, Gnats, Bugs
and Worms. But we are pleased to state that the
blood-thirsty villains were foiled at every house
where we have sold Wheeler screens -the only real
Scientific Screen.
These Screens are really "burglar-proof," for they
are the only Locking Screen; a burglar would have
to cut the wire which would waken any one! Peo
ple who sleep on first floors appreciate them.
Ten-Day Free Trial
On any or every window you wish to screen. No
matter what you thought to buy, or what you
thought to pay, first use the Wheeler ten days free,
and learn all that a Screen must do to satisfy year
after year.
Off thev come after the trial if they fail in any way.
