Whatever may be expected of thi9parer,it ha? not a word to say against a single man named, personally. So far as our information goes they are all good men. They however, have no advantage over the repub lican candidates in this respect. The personnel of the republican ticket too, is made up of men against whom nothing can be said, so far as we are informed. Both conventions exercised due care in the selection of candidates of good char acter and now it is up to the voters to select from the two tickets presented. The head of the democratic ticket has pitched the campaign on political grounds. He has given the people to understand that if they elect him to the state senate, they elect a died-in-the-wool dem ocrat; that if they choose him, they choose a man that will vote for a democratic senator four years hence. Mr. Hayter has made it plain that he is diametrically opposed to everything republican; that he is against Roosevelt and his policies, though he be the president that dissolves mergers, defies capital when it combines to oppress labor and shoulders a gun in defense of his country when occasion require. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Hayter did not disclose whether he will join hands with the Bryan-Hearst forces or work with the Cleveland wing of democracy. That will develop in the course of the campaign. Mr. Hayter, the democratic candidate and Mr Lauehary, the republican candidate, are gentle men'of the first water. Choosing between them is making a choice between a republican and a democrat. It is passing upon' two different theories of government. A vote for Mr. Laughary is a vote in support of a republican United States senator, in support of Roosevelt and the republi can party. A vote for Mr. Hayter is a vote in support of a democratic United States senator, in eppositien to Roosevelt and in favor of a Hearst Bryan or Cleveland candidate, according to which horn of the democratic dilemma he may elect to to swing on to. The same reasons governing in the election of a state senator may be applied to the entire ticket from top to bottom on both sides. The chances are a competent official will be selected no matter what his political affiliations may be and the coming election will have to be construed as a test between the two parties in Polk county. Polk is a republican county, though democrats at present hold the lion's share of the county offices. With a clean ticket, such as is presented by the republicans, there is no reason why there should be a single exception made in electing it froni state senator to coroner. A walking match fad has struck Morrow county. In Heppner last week, friends of Harry Cummins wagered $300 that he would walk 18 miles in 3 hours. The try-out was to be around a block which required 45 trips to cover the dis Cummins, walked two hours, making 26 trips and gave out, two minutes behind schedule time. At lone Frank Akers was matched against time and started out to walk from the Klondike saloon to the Shamrock saloon in one minute. TT lost bv four secondi. John Blake covered v.- stance in 56 seconds, so the time-keepers re port. In this part of country no such long dis tances are allowed to intervene between saloons. vi ,r.lA b.J denot at Washington, D.

Question of the day! Has the county court been extravagant or economical? Now Mr. Hearst will blame the Oregonian for his turn down in Oregon. Ahout 500 tons ot cascara bark was shipped out of Oregon last year. The price was good and mnnT morteaeea were lifted from homesteads in the coast range mountains from the proceeds of bark gathered largely by women and cnuaren.
