While this argument has no weight from the standpoint of justice, It is nevertheless a fact that no man, or sot of men, is apt to ac cede If they can possibly avoid it, to the desires of those who have abused them and applied to them every vile epithet which their minds could de vise and their tongues utter. As to other contests Instituted by Roosevelt, many of them were so palpably false that even his own sup porters refused to sanction them, yet this great disciple of the "plain peepul," asked to receive the nomi nation by the aid of trumped up contests and the purchased votes of Southern delegates! The Observer does not believe that there is anything to fear in this Rebellion of Roosevelt." Inside the party he was a powerful factor, but, outside of it, he is a different proposition.

President Taft has been renominat ed by the Republican national con vention and today is the legitimate and regular nominee of the party, He secured that nomination 'in the regular way, and by methods hat have prevailed in this country since the party has been an organization-. Much has been said about "steals" and "thievery" and the overthrow of "the will of the people,'"' yet the fact remains that not a single move was made at the recent convention by the faction ' of the party' that nom inated Mr. Taft, that did not have the authority of precedent ' behind it, and that has not been done, at every national Republican conven tion in history. The "steam roller" occupied a- prominent place, in convention news, especially ln' Roose velt newspapers, yet there neA-er was a more flagrant and outrageous ,opr eration of this machine than at Chi cago In 1908 under the management of Theodore Roosevelt. Those who have read the history of that con vention, or who remember its deliber ations, know that this is true. At that time we were not all Taft men. In fact there was a widespread sen timent in this country opposed to his nomination. lint Roosevelt dominat ed the Republican party. . He said Tnft whs the man, and he immedi ately proceeded to gee that . he was nominated, lie left no stone unturn ed to secure victory, and he manipu lated matters so that Taft's opposi tion was inconseiiuental. He simply onntcrntecl it, and forced the dele gates to take their medicine. We said, "well and good," Taft is our candidate because he has been nom inated by our party. Nothing was heard then, about the "steam roller," of the "steal of delegates" or the overthrow ol th- viil of "the people. Why, then, shon'd mi incident that passed unnoticed in the .convention of 1908, and previously in all other conventions, to a more or less extent, at once grow to such importance In 1912? Simply because the man who was most expert in manipulation, found himself facing a condition of which be was the accepted exponent. only this time he was the one who felt the iron heel of the organization. It appears to The observer that there is considerable real, raw bun combe In this yell about the "steal of delegates." It is made to inthi ence the people, and create the belief that some horrible crime against them was committed at Chicago, and yet, when you come right "down to brass tacks" as the saying goes, what are facts? It the American people, simply because It refuses to permit him in power, isn't apt to inspire the same enthu siasm among his former partisans that once he did. Of course the new party will wel come and receive the malcontents from both the old political organiza tions. There will be plenty of office seekers among its members, and the "plain peepul" can rest assured that they will be saved several times over try the zealous patriots who long for a chance at the flesh pots. But the real Republicans will, remain . true to their life-long teachings and will support their regular nominee. So, let's not worry. Arrangements have been completed for an excursion to Albany on July 4, a special will leave here at 6 o'clock and will return during the night. More than 100 have agreed to take tickets and others have sig nified their intention of going, so it seems probable that the train will be filled. It is stated that the Albany lodge of Elks have expressed their intention of employing the Dallas band to ac company their lodge to Portland on July 11, the day of the great parade during the Elks National convention, and arrangements for this will be completed while the band is in Al bany on July 4. WHOLESALE LIQUOR HOUSE WORK OF THE CLUB. .actual Beginning of construct ion work on the large packing plant which the J. K. ' Armsby company win ci-pcr in uauas should be, and no doubt is, cause for congratulation the on rhe part of every resident of this city. That a niaht has lonir i.oo neeneo nere is admitted and thpt this city was entitled to It by right or her distinction as the "Prune City" of Oregon,' is certain. Aside from the employment of home labor, an! the distribution of' a large nav roll during the season, the plant will offer a market here for one of the principal products of the valley. The Armsby company Is the largest pack ers ot California fruits in existence. and that it Intends to branch out and establish Itself In Oregon, is evident. Dallas welcomes the Armsby people with open arms, and hopes that they will never have occasion to regret locating here. The establishment of this industry l" euy. is the direct result of the activities of the Dallas Commer cial club. It Is a safe assertion that Yl'ltlti.lif l..l. J ........ .mil ami ns enterprising members, this plant would never hnve been located In Dallas. It must be remembered that, at the time the Armsby people were looking for a site somewhere in thn wuiamott valley, other cities in this vicinity were putting forth their best efforts to secure the plant. Representatives of the company visited Dallas and the Commercial club at once heeded their request. Enterprising members dropped their personal affairs and left their business determined to se cure the prize if possible. They Hum t wait to count tile iwiggie over sites and location. The prime Idea was to secure the plant at any cost and they went after It with a will. Their activity and en terprise awakened the good will of the company's representatives and. before they l.-ft town, had practi cally decided to locate here. They had a site free from cost, but Local Concern . Will Make Effort to Secure New Business. Formation of the Olympia Wine company by Charles Bilyeu and C. H. Crawford in this city has been effect ed and rooms for the operation of the new concern have been arranged on Main street adjoining', the Olym pia Bar. The , new concern will go after the business of outside liquor dealers and will wholesale to the trade and Individuals. It is said that much of this business is npw controlled by Salem and Portland wholesalers and the Olympia Wine company win cio its best to divert a share of it to this city. The com pany will place a traveling represen tative on the road at once. WATCH OUR 89 CENT WINDOW Many articles in this window are worth double what we ask.
