ought to thicw the largest possible
majority in June for the party which,
later in the month, will make him its
formal candidate. A big majority in
June will have enormous significance.
Any majority in November will suffice.
Closely connected with national
politics also is the election of represen
tatives in congress.
Hermann and
Williamson will be elected, of course;
but it is important that their majorities
should go towards the highest possible
high-water mark. It is the way to
assure the country of the earnestness
of Oregon for the party znd the cause
of which President Roosevelt now is
the leading representative.

Not for years, if ever before, have
the republicans of Oregon been so

Factional differences have passed away,

sary is co get out the full vote.
Two years ago the republican vote
for supreme judge was 49,876, and the
plurality was 17,146. The republican
vote for the state next month should
not fall below 55,COO, and may much
exceed that figure— cairying the plur
allity above 20,000. The aggregate
plurality for representatives in congress
should be as large. These results
are legimately to be expected, on a
full registration and a full vote. Such
majorities are due to the country from
the people of Oregon. For Oregon
has been treated with great considera
tion by the republican party and by
President Roosevelt. The opportunity
of requital will be presented in June.
Let us have a full vote.—The Daily
Oregonian, May 9, 1904.

Two years ago the plurality for

Judge Moore should be at least 20,000
now. By such majority the republi
cans of Oregon should open the
presidential campaign. In recognition
of his own character, and for what he
has done for the state, President
Roosevelt is entitled to it. Such ma
jority will have its effect upon every
part of the country. In the First Dis
trict, Representative Hermann de
serves and will command the full re
publican majority. It is not true that
there is any republican opposition to
him. Nor is it true that he does not
stand well at Washington. He did
not agree with the secretary of the in
terior, in matters of administration,
and therefore was retired from the gen
eral land office; but no charges affect
ing his integrity in that office or any
other have ever been made. In his
work at Washington, as Representative,
he is painstaking and laborious, and
his familiarity with the methods of
congress gives him great advantage!
No man did more for the Lewis &
Clark bill. His plurality in the dis
trict can hardly fall below 7000, and
ipay be larger. That for Williamson
