The Toik county democrats nominated a full
county ticket last Saturday. 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.
