him at the court house in thla city a
couple of weeka ago, know that he ia a
man fully capable of watching Oregon

overwhelming majority.
" iraiidmV Wood will have to hurry

Clinton, Ia., who is said to be 14J years
old, ami the oldest iersoa living. A

Hi hly in the world, is Miss Abbie IVr-
ham, a Clinton, Ia., woman, who has
j'K-t celebrated her 140th birthday. The
blood of three races runs in her veins

tihe saw Washington's troops pass her

feeble, an I hur memory is uncertain.
.She has smoked incessantly since she
waft a girl of 14 and declares that it has
prolonged her life."
Mrs. Wood, who lives on First street
in this city, celebrated her ll'Jth birth'
day the IMth. Shu has been considered
the oldest woman living, b:it this Iowa
maiden goes her 21 years better.
Tha democrats are claiming that there
ia no politics In this campaign. It is
urged that Gov. Chamberlain has made
a good governor; that Senator Gearin
has mals a good senator, and that Cbas.
Galloway would make a good congress
man, therefore, republicans should as
sist them to elect these men. But ought
republicans to be influenced by these
arguments? The Independent believes
that the republican nominees are just as
well, if not better, qualified to fill tb
positions, and will make jut aa good, if
uot better, officers than the democrats
above named. If a man la a republican
he Is a republican because he believes in
republican principles, and because he
knows that when ever those principles
have been applied to the practical man
igement of public affairs in the last
forty years, that the country has been
more prosperous and conditions have
been mors satisfactory than when the
democratic party controlled public af
fairs. It fa useless to urge that there are
no politics in this election, when we are
voting for men to fill the highest politi
cal offices within the gift of the people
of the state There are politics in the
office of United States senator, congress
man and governor. In fact, The Inde
pendent believes that there are politics
publican senators and republican con
gressmen ws must maintain our party
organization, which can only be done by
sleeting republicans to all otfices. This
srgument that there are no politics In
this slection Is made by democrats ex
clusively for the republicans. The dem
ocratic organisations of thla state and
tha democratic papers are supporting

campaign, especially with county af
fairs," says the "independent-demo pop"
candidates who niUHt have republican
votes if they land the offices they
so much desire. Things were different
two years ago. At that time J. W.
Seweli was the sheriff of Washington
county, mid throwing the patronage of I
that office to his democratic friends, a I
right he had, and to which no one ob
jected. This is simply mentioned to
tiiiow tliut lie was living up to his prin
ciples us a democrat. Along about that
time the Guston mill property was in
litigation and there was a sheriff's sale
to be publinhed. S. II. Huston and Ben-
t ui Bowman were attorneys for the
UuHton mill people and they asked Mr.
Seweli if he would not have the sheriff's
notice publiched in The Hillsboro In.le-
pendent, and this request was alio made
by the mill folks. The editor ol this
paper went to Mr. Sewell and asked
he intended to comply with the wishes
of the attorneys in the case and the par-
ti'.s most interested, and waa told with
out hesitation that he would not. He said
he was a democrat, and the notice would
be published in a democratic paper, and
it was. And now this same Sewell is
going about the county asking republi
cans to vote for him for countv indue.

The Crescent theatre contained be
tween 000 and 700 people last Monday
evening, to welcome Hon. James Withy
combe, the next governor of Oregon, and
to listen to short speeches on the pres
ent political issues by Hon. II. M. Cake,
lion. II. V. Gates and Hon. 8. B. Hus
tbu. Mr. Withycombe is not a brilliant
platform orator, but what he says has
tho right ring and can be readily under
stood. He told his hearers what they
could exju-ct if elected governor, how he
stood on many important issues, and ex
plained how the present governor had
saved" so much money for the taxpay
ers. Ir. Withyconibe's remarks were
well received and at the close of the
meeting, many of his old friends and for
iniT neighbors gathered around him,
' gave him the hand of welcome and prom
ises of their support next Monday. The
doctor lived in Washington county for
many years and still owns a splendid
farm adjoining this city. He is a man
of sterling integrity, his evsry-day
life an open liook, his character is with
out blemish, and Washington county
will roll up a go.! majority for him.
The speeches by the other gentleman
mimed above were to the effect that in
or.ler to maintain Presideut Roosevelt
in Ins tight against trusts and monopo
lies, republicans must endorse his policy
bv sending republican aenatois and con
gressmen to Washington. They advised
republicans to vote the ticket strsight,
from top to bottom, state ami county,
and proclaim to the other states that
Oregon was not only republican In name,
but in reality. The Withycomlng Trio
sang a number of songs which were re
ceived with loud applause, and Miss
Maud Hiannon, of Forest Grove, sang
two selections which were appreciated
by the large gathering. The music by
the 1 111 hIhito band was, as usual, one of
the pleasing feature. The meeting was
in'everyjw ay a success and added enthusi
asm, loyalty and patriotism to the cause
of true republicanism.
Next Monday is election day and the
prospects for a republican victory all over
Oregon are encouraging. The election of
lr. James Withycombe ia conceded
without a doubt. It has now simmers,
down to only a question of msjority, and
we h"i that Washington county will
give him the news Tuesday that the
friends of his old home have remember
e 1 him by giving him the largest major
it y ever received by a candidate for gov-,
eruor. Ile-is a man o( ability and de

In national issues the administration
has taken advanced grounds. The
rights of the people are near to the
heart of President Roosevelt.
It is false that outside of the republi
can party can Roosevelt hope for the ac
compiishment of those great and good
purposes which dominate his adminis
tratiou. Therefore, a vote for the re
publican ticket here Is an indorsement
of the administration and the voters' op
portunity to make the people's interest
paramount.

ine issue is: Mian a republican or a
democratic senator be elected?
The democratic attack upon Withy
comoe mai ne was Dorn abroad is an
attack upon a largo part of this citizen
ship which will be discountenanced by
true citizens, both native and foreign
born. Falling in every other method of
checking the increasing popularity of
the republican nominee for governor,
democratic desperation turned to this
petty plan, which has so signally failed.
According to the democratic advertis
ing bureaus, "nobody works but father" J
the governor has done the whole thing.
Space prevents analysis in detail of the
measures he touches, but the governor's
part in the enactment of the lcginlation
during his administration was necessar
ily small. How could it be otherwise?
As to his vetoes, tiie list will show that
many of them were based upon personal
and partisan motives and are a source of
weakness rather than strength to the
state.
Home democrats expect that the re
publican vote will be light and in conse
quence democratic schemes may again
be put through. It ought not to be ne
cessary, to suggest to republicans that
their party is broad enough and useful
enough to properly command the fealty
