gentlemen would be glad to have the people for get that fact and remember, only, that they were winners at the primary election. They do not nor will not talk now for the assembly as they did prior to the primary election. All want votes and they know that they cannot be elected, unless they get the most of the anti-assembly republicans to Politically Independent support them.

SHOULD STAND TO THL ¡1: COLORS F THE QUESTION SHOULD BE ASKED. "Who is the most prominent representative of assembly ism in Oregon today," nine men out of every ten would answer "Bowerman." And they would answer correctly, too; for Mr. Bower man is the moat prominent production of that .schism. In fact, the as.-en.bly WU Odltd into existence to secure his nomination; for it could have been secured in no other way, probably. Mr. Bowerman ddtninated the late state assemb ly. It was filled with delegates who were known to be friend!', t» hi- inti-rests. No Other efoofa for the office of governor was expected by those who had the handling of the wires. Mer.-rs Withy- comlie. Smith and Ackerman had just about a- much show for nomination in that assembly as a blind man would have in a game of cinch. Mr. Beach, one of the chief assembly manipulators, was able to state before that body met, w ithin three of the number of votes that Mr. Bowerman would get He knew, because the self constituted Isiard of managers, of which he seemed to be the chief, had much to do with the selection of the delegates throughout the state. Then as Mr. Bowerman is the product of the assembly, consistency should cause him to stand or fall upon the principle of assemblyism. He should be proud to champion the principles which gave him the nomination. But he is not; for he has, practically, renounced assemblyism in indors ing the primary law and Statement No. 1. as well as all other laws which the people have enacted. Why did he do thia? Now it is unreasonable to suppose that Mr. Bowerman’s real opinions have changed, other than he was mistaken in the numlier of his party who would supjiort assemblyism. Consequently his change of front can •** accounted for in no oth er way than for the purpose of catching votes; for the primary election demonstrated that a large majority of the republican party were opposed to the assembly. And, to be successful, next month, Mr. Bowerman knows that he must have the anti- assembly republican vote. For this reason, the public has a right t» as.sum . that his outspoken indorsement of the primary law and Statement No. 1, w as for that particular purpose. What confidence can the public have in a candi date, whose principles are so chameleon like? What assurance can the people have that he will not make another flop as soon as he is inducted in to office? The "anything to win idea" has about reached its finish in Oregon. Mr. Bowerman is likely to find, next month, that his change of front was a grave ¡»litical blunder. Above all things, the |M *ople desire that a candidate shall be brave enough, at all times, to stand steadfastly for his principles. And should he go down to defeat with his Hag flying, he will retain the rvsjnTt of his enemies and the love of his friends. Congressman Hawley, Governor Benson and Judge Burnett are. also, products of the assembly. Presumably, like Mr. Bowermar, each of these I Ball Base SPPPLIES R< ceil direct - from a . J.

Wines, Liquors Cigars : ABSTRACTS OF TITLE . Tl e democratic county legislative ticket is one which commands the respect of everyone, regard * less of to which party he belongs. They are all men of affairs, who keep well infoimed on th« political question * of the day and who, if elected, w |l lie excellent legislators and to whom no taint of graft nor corrupt action will ever attach. All of them are outspoken supporters of the primary law and all will, if they have not already, sign Statement No. 1. On the other hand, at least two of the republican candidates are assemblyites. Candidate Beaty, who opposes Hon. M. A. Niller. was a delegate to the state assembly and, as yet, has not renounced assemblyism. Candidate Train wrote a letter to the Oregonian for publication/ in THE ESM0NB HOTEL which he indorses the assembly in as strong Centi ally located, good language as he could command. The other repub rooms, prices moder lican candidates for the legislature, so far as we ate, com (cons have heard, have not announced their standing treatment with reference to axsemblyism. But every candi Corner Norrtaoa «nJ Front Stretta date, regardless of party, should be made to show his colors on this important matter; for it means POKTLANu OREGON much to the future of Oregon. ' Ex-President Roosevelt has. seemingly, won a great victory in New York; but which may. in the end, I m ? the cause of his political downfall. Should he fail to elect the ticket, which he practically dictated at Saratoga, he will be discredited as a politician and this discredit will, probably, retire him to private life permanently. There are some indications that the New York bosses, whom he dethroned, would not regret a demooratic victory, if such victory would get the returned lion hunter out of the way jwrmanently. Nor enn he expect much aid in the ¡»ending campaign from big busi ness interest , * unless he is willing to make con cessions and promises which would discredit him in the eyes of the ¡»eople. Victory is absolutely necessary to him, if he preserves the political prominance he now seems to possess. His assumi • tion of political matters in the Empire state, ma/ be the most disastrous political blunder of his life. W eatherford a wyatt , The Scio Livery and Feed Stable r/. POUXD, Prof).
