PIERCE'S PROSPECTS BRIGHT
If the election were held tomor
row, Walter Pierce would very
probably be the next governor of
Oregon. He has assurances of
strong republican support from all
sections of the state, and there is
every reason to believe that he
would defeat Olcott in a dual con
test. The forces aligned against
Olcott in the primaries will not be
for him now, when he is the repub
lican nominee. Whatever may be
one's views as to the merits of the
unusual issue which has divided
Oregon into two hostile camps,
there can be no question that it has
developed a feeling stronger than
party loyalty now-a-days weak at
best. Nor has Olcott helped his
cause by his uncompromising atti
tude in such cases as, for instance,
that of Dr. Ellsworth, who has cer
tainly poured some hot Bhot into
the governor's midriff. With the
possible exception of George E.
Chamberlain, Pierce is the best
campaigner in Oregon, and may be
relied upon to tafce full advantage
of Olcott's tactical errors. In a
very close and intimate sense he is
one of the people, having shared and
sympathized with them in their
problems and complaints in the
course of an active life of industry.
Somehow the notion prevails prob
ably without foundation that Ol
cott is a bit "high-brow." At all
events, Pierce is likely to beat him
unless the situation changes between
now and election day. But any
change, such as the entrance of
Hall in the race, is rather more
apt to react in Olcott's favor than
that of Pierce, since the Olcott
forces, while numerically smaller
than his opposition, will stand firm j
and indivisible.

When 128 voters turn out to attend
a school meeting, interest in school
affairs is in a healthy condition, as
compared to meetings held in the
past when a bare number of voters
to nominate and elect director and
clerk were present. That the Athe
na school ranks at the head of the
county's educational institutions is
appreciated by the patrons of the
school is evidenced by the splendid
vote given Charles Kirk, director, and
E. A. Zerba, clerk, for re-election.

This from the Ohio State Journal,
a republican paper, sounds like a
left-handed compliment: "The re

said, is the party of conservation,
and here we find ourselves on the

enough unused campaign promises
left over from last time to Bee us

The almost universal distrust of

Having blamed the civil war
