There is a movement on foot,
says the Dallas Itemizer, in the
state of Oregon to hold up the
small apportionment for armor

the state. This news Captain
Hobson received with surprise.

This is the first time that he has

Mr. Crowley was particularly prom

Mr. Crowley, like the majority of
the residents of Polk county does not
believe it is for the best interests of
the county to give more than two
terms to an official. It is for that
reason that he has consented to have
his name apjiear on the ballots in op
position to Mr. Smith.

HAWLEY IS
THE CHOICE
If. M. Tnke, candidate for the
United States Senate, was in Indepen
dence Saturday. He spent an hour
in conference w ith some of the lending
citizens here. In every part of the I n. p. JunKh. attorney.
state he is meeting with assurances
of republican success, and it is now a
foregone conclusion that he will sweep
the state with victory for the repub
lican party.
In the election of Mr. Cake the
state of Oregon will sound the clarion
i f national republican victory. As all
eyes will be turned upon Oregon in
her election in June it is essential
that his majority be made overwhelm

doubtful states of the union. Cake is AND
