NO ONE IS DECEIVED. uovornor unamueriain, in bis anx iety to catch Statement No. 1 Kepubli cans' votes, sets up the claim that be Is the original Statement No. 1 cliam plon. What was be doing for that principle before th primaries, when It was whole lot less popular than It is Dow and really needed friends? He was as mum as an oystor. Instead of going openly before the people as a candidate and lifting bis voice in favor of the election of Senators by a popu lar, voto, ha sat In blsonice and waited to see bow many Statement No. 1 can didates for the Legislature would be nominated at the primary. Knowing that sufficient number of voters of dis party woum write tils name on tbelr ballots to give blm the nomlna lion, be held himself In a position where be oould accept or decline that nomination after he had seen how Statement No. 1 had fared In the pri maries. Finding that It was popular and that Its advocates would probably lack only ono or two votes of a major ity in the next Legislature, he accepted the nomination and Jumped Into the raoe, announcing hlmwlf as the origi nal Statement No, 1 advocate. Had the Slatoment been defeated in the primaries and had only a bare hand ful of Its candidate been nominated. Politician Oeorge would have refused . the nomination and continued to warm too Oovernor's chair, leaving State ment No 1. to take care or itself. (lovernor Chamberlain's whole eon rue In the pro tent campaign has been that of a political demagogue mere seeker forofllio, caring nothing for principle and willing to resort to any subterfuge to deceive Republican voters, without whose aid he knows he will be defeated by SO,) votes. If the Observer mistakes not the temper or the people of Oregon, they will not permit themselves to be fooled by the wiles of this professional office-seeker, but will rally to the suppoit or II. M Cake, the man who honestly and sin cerely believes In Statement No I, and who bad the manhood and courage to oome out boldly for that principle at a time when It really needed friend and champion POLK'S FIE RIFLE RANGE Oregon National Guardsmen Want Grounds Improved and Made Permanent. Since the establishment of the state military rifle range across the river in Polk county there has been some agitation in national guard circles as to whether it shoafcl be kept at Salem permanently. The state has gone to the expense of Journal. The efforts of the Journal j to find some reasonable objection to I the Republican candidate for Senator are amusing. It cannot question Mr. Cake's Republicanism, and it does not dare to boast of Chamberlain's Democracy. All itcan do, In itsefforts to pull the wool over the eyes of the voters. Is to tout Chamberlain as a Roosevelt Republican and pretend that Cake has abandoned Statement No. I. The truth Is that Chamberlain i is a Bryan Democrat, and that Cake! is standing exactly where be has .'leasing a strip of land, having pits always stood in reference to the elec- j made and installing therein eight tar tion of Senators by a direct vote of the 1 got racks. The pits were graded out In people. The Republican voters fully-clay and the rains have in several understand the situation, and will not 'places done considerable damage to permit themselves to be blinded by the the grading by washing down the Journal's sophistry. The nomination embankments ami walls, making it of Mr. Cake smoked that paper out of , cot altogether safe lor target tenders. Its Democratic hole, and it is no longer j Tne location of the range is excellent aole to pose as an Independent aR(j provides an almost perfectly level journal. Its frantic efforts to find stretch of 1W yards with the side of some argument against Mr. Cake athe iarge bill to shoot into, thus mak stand on Statement No. 1 have proved j jDg tuat part absolutely safe to those to the voters that it is not so much j not directlv interested in the target interested in the success of that prin ciple as in the election of George Chamberlain, Democrat practice work. Salem .Statesman. The Fails City Newaehanged owners this week, C. L. Starr selling the plant and good will of the business to B. S. Billings, a recent arrival from Ohio. The News is a live and enterprising paperand is building up a thriving business in Polk County's prosperous lumber town. The paper was greatly improved under Mr. Starr's manage ment, and his only reason for selling is that bis duties as Secretary of the State Normal Regents require his whole time and attention. His sue oessor Is a wide-awake business man, and the Observer bespeaks for him the hearty support and encouragement of the good people of Falls City. Please let Mr. Cake run on his own record, not on the president's. Albany Democrat. But isn't Chamberlain, claiming to be abetter Roosevelt man than Cake or anybody else in Oregon, and is be not trying to boost himself into the senate through his declara tions for Roosevelt policies, while at the same time be is legging for Bryan as a presidential candidate? When it comes to political acrobats Chamber lain is certainly the whole show. Eugene Reglstsr. COURT HOUSE NOTES Items of Interest From the Records in the County Offices Briefly Told.

To you. who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there Is the temptation to let light twirn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes tne electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month, lou can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money tnan electric light, but does it save you anvthing when It limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decoration and increases household work.
