The repeal o f the free tolls bill
w a s a body blow to the whole
C oast country and Wilson went
back on his party platform to
force it through congress.
Vote as you think best on next
Tuesday but remember this one
thing. Business conditions have
-always been better under Repub
lican administrations than under
democratic rule.
The Oregon Journal says edi
torially that “ it is highly proba
b le that Pre^ident Wilson will be
re-elected.” That is putting it
pretty mild, coming from the
source it does, to say the least.
Colonel George Harvey, who
has been surprisingly accurate in
forecasting presidential elections
in the past, sums up his forecast
fo r the result o f next Tuesday’s
election as follows: * ‘Hughes sure
ly wins. Probable majority for
Hughes, between 145 and 175.”
T h e total number o f electoral
-votes is 531. The successful can
didate must receive 256.

We reassert what we have said
before, that there never has been
a candidate fo r president, from
Washington down, who was bet
ter qualified for the high office,
judging from the standpoint o f
efficiency and honesty d f purpose
shown in the positions he had
previously held, than is Charies
Evans Hughes. This is a state
ment o f fact that is worthy of
the consideration o f the vote,
when he goes to the polls nex
Tuesday.

Voters who expect to cast their
first ballot for president next
Tuesday should take note before
hand that the candidates for pres
ide nt are not voted for directly
The names o f five electors ap
pear on the ballot for each candi
date and the voter makes a cross
before the names o f each of
the five who stand for the candi
date he or she may desire to vote
for. It is made plain enough on
the ballot if the voter will only
take the time and pains to sea
how to do the marking so it will
b e counted as desired.
Evidently the Oregon Jonmal
is badly frightened over the out
look for the election o f Wilson.
It says: “ Repudiation o f Presi
dent Wilson would be a with
drawal o f the support o f the
American people from hinr, and
from the day o f the election till
March 4 this country would be
presided over by a president
whose hands would be tied and
whose power in foreign diplo
macy would be gone. ” Is it pos
sible that defeat would cause
Wilson to wilt immediately, even
with a democratic congress be
hind him—the man whom the
Journal is wont to laud as fc sec
ond Lincoln?
During the first two years o f
the Wilson administration thers
were more tramps fed from the
back doors o f Newberg homes
than had been given charity in
th e whole history o f the todn be
fore. The same conditions pre
vailed all over the country and
had not the European war come
o n to change conditions, the ad
business0 is backing Hughes,
Too bad that the “ little inter
ests,” such as Henry Ford,
w h o m the Wilson supporters
must depend on for financial sup
port, are only able to contribute
insignificant little sums like a
hundred thousand dollars to the
campaign fund. Let some sym

We think the repeal o f our Sun
day law would be a mistake. All
civilized nations have Sunday
laws, and we don’t want Oregon
to be ranked with the paean
tribes. Some say repeal the law
we have and let anew and more
satisfactory one be enacted. We
think a safer and better course
will be to vote down the proposi
tion to repeal the law and let the
legislature make such amend
ments as seem desirable. The
chances are ten to one that if
the law is repealed by-vote o f the
people next Tuesday, pressure
will be brought to bear on the
members o f the legislature by
those who want a “ wide open”
Sunday to make it appear that
the people don’ t want any Sunday
law at all.
answer was that we would much
rather see him elected than T. B.
Handley, o f Tillamook, who uprn
nominated by the republicans at
the primary election and en
dorsed by the democrats. Hand
ley’s record as a member o f the
legislature at the last session re
flected no credit on himself or
his constituents, and reports come
from his home town, Tillamook,
that his standing there as a citi
zen is not such as a man ought
to have when asking to be ele
vated to an office o f so much re
sponsibility. It is a well known
fact that he was the candidate o f
the brewery interests at the pri
mary election and the on ly rea-4 j
son he was able to slip in was the
fact that the vote o f the dry
forces was divided between three
other candidates nil o f whom
were residents o f Yamhill county.
That he will be a willing tool o f
the brewery interests, t o ' the
best o f his limited ability if
elected, there seems to be no
question, judging from his rec
ord at home and while at Salem
in attendance at the legislature,
and he ought not to be elected as
senator. On the other hand, J.

president o f the Western Wal
nut Association, which includes
all the territory west o f the
Rocky Mountains, and is superin
tendent o f the Oregon ’Walnut
Experiment Station. While he
has been nominated by the social
ists, he is a conservative social
ist, and his election as joint sec
a tor would reflect much more
credit on the counties o f Yamhill,
Washington, Tillamook and Lin
