TUESDAY’S ELECTION.
The people of this country do not want a
change, they are satisfied with the present na
tional administration. This was the sentiment
expressed at the election Tuesday. The results
were as keen observers of politics predicted even
If they were on the otner side.
While conservative people are alarmed at the
growing tendencies of radicalism in this country
it was well that La Follete did run. He gave a
lot of voters a chance for expression that would
otherwise had none and he gave the rest of the
country the opportunity to see how many people
there were of radical mind.
As far as Oregon is concerned it went republi
can as it always has. The thing that came to
light in this state is that the yellow ticket has lost
its grip. People voted this time as they pleased
whether a candidate was endorsed by any partic
ular faction or not. Only in cases where a strong
man was endorsed, who could have won without
the support, can the yellow ticket claim a vic
tory.

W ITH THE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS SOLVED
War like politics makes strange bedfellows. The
United States put Germany out of commission in
the great struggle for world freedom, now she
leads in restoring to Germany her place in the sun
it is hoped with chastened spirit.
Simultaneously with the floating of the great
German loan in this conutry there started from
the other side the giant Zeppelin ZR 3, built in
the German yards for the American government.
The contract for the building of this great mon
ster of the air is looked at askance by the man
on the street, who, considering the terms of our
peace negotiations, recalls the stipulation that the
Zeppelin works should be put out of commission
and German air craft production should be lim
ited to craft suitable only for commercial use.
Some folks wonder if the Zeppelin trip across the
ocean to our shores is just a test of possibilities.
It may be regarded as certain now that Ger
many will stage the greatest “Orne back” in the
history of the world. Those who are close to the
situation believe that five years will see her firmly
on her feet. Every German factory is intact, not
one bullet hole has injured so much as a chicken
house as a result of the war, and German land
is fertile, unspoiled and intensively cultivated.
Her only difficulty has been one of rinan«e, and
that is now largely removed. While some fear
is held by those who have suffered severely by
the war. belief is held that the German people now
see the folly of ambition, and that it will be many
a day before they are again led blindly into an
