If you are a democrat, vote your ticket
straight at the election in June. And If
yon are a republican the same advice
holds good. In the East, Oregon is
known as a strongly republican state
with all the good offices In the hands of
tho democrats. Republicans should
stand together for the future growth and
prosperity of Oregon.
ia Washington? connty, since sud then
has twice been elected representative,
lie is now living in Portland and has re
tired from the active turmoil of business,
though ho takes great interest in all
matters pertaining to the Grange, and
wants everybody to get a copy of the
proposed amendments for the taxation
of express, telephone, telegraph, sleep
ing car and refrigerator companies, as
ho believes these amendments should be
carefully looked over and understood be
fore election day. County Clerk God
man will furnish anyone a copy on re
quest. Mr. Paulsen met many old
friends during his short stay, and in a
way still regards Hillsboro as his homo.
A Rousing Meeting.
Last Saturday evening the court bouse
wss well filled with both ladies snd gen
tlemen who had gathered to hear lion.
W. C. Llawley speak on the political is
sues of tho day. The speaker was intro
duced by Hon. 8. B. Huston, who oc
cupied about fifteen minutes in explain
ing tho Railroad Rate matter and other
proposed legislation. ' In introducing
tho speaker Mr. Huston said that Mr.
llawley had been his opponent for the
congressional nomination, and as such
had endeavored to defeat him, but Mr.
llawley had won out, and he wished to
say that be would do bis utmost to elect
him ; that he harbored no ill feeling,
and he wanted no friend of his to vote
sgainst the successful nominee because
of bis losing the nomination. On tak
ing the platform Mr. llawley thanked
Mr. Hutton for his kindness in presiding
st the meeting, his expressions of good
will and assurance of support, and for
nearly two hours kept the attention
ot that large audience. He is an able
speaker, could be heard distinctly by all
in tho room ; he knows and believes
everything he says, and his remarks car
ries conviction to all who are fortunate
enough to hear him nothing flowery,
but good, bard facts, backed with com
mon sense and a complete mastery of
the situation. Besides being a life-long
republican, he ia a native of Oregon, a
man who has the respect of his fellow-
men, and one who will do honor to Ore
gon as its representative in congress.
Ho believes that republicans should vote
the ticket straight, from top to bottom,
and not vote for a democrat because he
is a "good fellow."
