At this writing it seems unlike.

any fonnidnble opposition in the
coming congressional com ention.

elusion. Were thi- a certainty
.here would be little to be said;
but ou the seemingly remote
chance that there may be devel
opments in the convention which
Uo not now appear, thete are a
f-w thiugs that ought to be made
plain.
There is no blinking the fact
tfiat Coos Bay has but little to
;hank Mr. Tongue for. While
he has not entirely ignored us, he
has not brought the r suits which
we might reasonably expect.
There is a widespread belief
here that Mr. Touguli is too
closely iusympath) with Portland
Portland's. gplcy is to reta:n her
ascendancy mainly by beatinij

that any money expended on the

that much taken away from the

up a part of the state not ttibuttuy
to her. Portland has a pet feet
right to take his view it it pleases
her, mid, Mr, Tongue has ntt
equal right to cater to Portland.
At the same time it may as well
be undetstood that Coos Hay
people recognize the fact that
this section has been getting the
chilly shoulder, aud that it does
not feel particularly grateful to
Mr. Tougtie. These are things
to be kept in mind by the dele
gates elected tomorrow.
Even though Mr. Tongue be
nominated and elected without
difncultv, it will do no harm if
he be given to uuderMand that
thisscct'on of the state expects
something more front him in the
way of tangible results.
