After making a lampalgn of two
months durnilon. during which he
has covered much of the state outside
of Multnomah County. 8. II. Huston
candidate for United States Sonator,
Is very much pleased with his pros
pects. I'p to the present time bo has
not held a public meeting nor spent
any active time In his home county,
Multnomah, where the heavy vote Is,
but from this time on be will devote
himself largely to rounding up his
home county vote.
Mr. Huston has lived in Multnomah
COSBty for twelve years, ami feels
that he Is well enough known to be
able to carry bis home county with
little work, but I xpects to carry
it by 10,000 votes May 17. During
the last year, perhaps fifteen to
twenty thousand voters have located
in MUltnomah County, having round
employment In the shipyards, Many
Of these are eiitlrelv unfumlllar with
the Oregon system and with State
politics Theee men have bad ex
perience in industrial plants, and will
only need to be shown Senator Hus
ton's record on soda! legislation to
see the wisdom Of voting for him in
the Primaries.
Senator Huston begad bis work In
Oregon and Washington County, and
friends living at lllllshoro and Forest
Crovo say that be will carry Wash
ington County with not less than 71
per rent or the Republican vote.
And speaking about politics. Senator
Huston is making his campaign first
as an American citizen and second
as a Republican who favors support
lag the Admlnltrallon during the war
and otherwise stands for Republican
policies.
Voters who have not registered
should lose no time in reglsti ring,

who have mocd from their home

Words count for little at this time

The) are the men who base paid with
their bodies for their soul s desire.
LOl B0 one pity them, whatever their

days ami have risen level to the need
of the mighty days.. And let no one
pity the wives and mothers and fatb
ers, whose husbands and lovers and
sons now face death in battle for the
mightest of all high causes. .
Our hearts are wrung with sorrow
and anxiety, but our beads are held
aloft with pride. It Is a terrible
thing that our loved ones should face

far more terrible thing. If, whatever
the danger they were not treading

WILD Kt'MOHM.
The circulating of extravagant
rumors and wild tales of victory Is
harmful to the Interests of this noun
try In the present struggle as the
spreading or adverse reports, Re
oetitlv the report was flashed from
Otto end of the- country to the other
of t lu great allied victory on the
western front, in many parts of the
country people went fairly wild wltli
joy, only to lie cast Into correspond
ing depths of dejection on learning
that the report was unrounded.
our pi ople should give ear to
no reports that do not come from a
reliable source. Telegraphic news
lit the papers, from reputable now
agencies, can be relied unoii as be
ing comet, or approximately so.
The metropolitan d J lie a as a rule
have reliable speel.il correspond! tits
on the front, and their reports also
can be received as truth. Hut re
ports circulating from mouth to
mouth freqaentl start from nothing
but grow with the Idling. .
In Justice- Of the Hews age-le lis ami

be said that none of those fake re

"Liberty Loan'' son. It doesn't mean
that YOU must do tho loaning. It
mean that your government proposes
to loan to you the opportunity of in
vesting your spare means In a pro
position as sound as tho Rock of
Ages. It means that the opportuni
ty of your life is offered you to gath
er yourself your portion of national
honor and glory. It means that pro
bably for tho first time In your rath

to become a really necessary cog In

turning point In your life, son. He
sure you make the right turn.
