FOREST GROVE, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEFT. 29, 1910
Silver Wedding Celebrated Regulars and Antis To
Unite for Party Good
Mr. and Mrs. Nels Johnson, of
No.47
for Justice o f - the Peace,
Carl Hoffman for constable.
All the Republicans who ran
on both the Assembly and the
direct primary tickets, both those
who were elected and those who
were defeated, as far as has
been heard from, have pledged
their loyal support to the party,
and will unite for the success o f
the party candidates at the com­
ing election. Though there has
been a division in the opinion as
to whether candidates should be
nominated by the direct primary
method or by the assembly sys­
tem, the party is united • on the
proposition that the will of the
party as expressed at the prim­
ary election should be upheld.
