One of the seven organizations doing welfare work for the soldiers overseas shiped to the men over there during the period from July 1917 to August 1918, 1, 959,158 cans of fruit; 14,510,000 packages of chewing gum; 848,785,802 cigar ettes; 463,824 pounds of cocoa; 10,227,735 pounds of sugar; 551, 620 tubes of tooth paste; 31,279,020 pounds of flour; 2557,481 packages of tobacco, 32,358,700 cigars and 1,665,120 cans of condensed milk, j These figures show the need of raising funds- to maintain the wo -k of the welfare organizations which serve to keep the morale of the Allied armies at its topmost point. The report in the Oregonian of yesterday to the effect that Heppner has 20 cases of Spanish influenza, would not seem to be well founded, and If it was sent in from here, someboby must have confounded a few slight colds with the real thing, In fact, if there is or has been one well developed case of the epidemic in this town up to date, we have been unable to ltarn of it. The entire county is quite free from the disease so far, and it is to be hoped that our board of health may so control the situation that there will be nc serious cases. THE KKPl 1U.ICAX DECLARATION In an eloquent and characteristic address Will Hayes, the dynamic chairman of the Republican national committee, delivered on Thursday at Grand Uapids, he sounded again the keynote of the Republican policy. "The Republican party," he de clared, "says to the country STAND BY THE WAR. And in this declara tion of purpose is Included the slogan which the Democratic party seems to have adopted, 'Stand by the Pres ident.' a duty . which Republicans have assumed as a matter of course as to all that the great office implies It includes far more than this; it lucludes, Stand by every public official, high or low, measured by the war; stand by the governmeut; stand by this country; stand by our allies; stand by our soldiers in France; stand by every effort for war savrug and giving in this country; stand by the cause for which we fight; stand by 'the irreducible minimum' of peace terms so sj leiid idly enunciated by Senator Lodge; s:and by the war aims of this country to vindicate American rights, interests, and honor, to forever end the intolerable arrogance of that scientifically trained brutality, to forever end Prussianishi in the world and the oppression which it typifies, and make certain forever the inability to militarism, German or otherwise, again to disturb the peace of the world; stand against an inconclusive peace, and stand for a peace with victory. "All this we say Stand by the war, and for this purpose we dedicate the last of our blood and our treas ure." Every Republican leader, every Republican newspaper, every Repub lican voter will applaud that declara tion and stand by it to the eitd. As Hays in another passage says: 'There is no geography, political or physical, in the patriotism of this country." We can confidently rely upon our brother Americans of the Democratic party membership, Each party has weaklings and false prop hets, but they do not represent the hundred millions of loyal Americans whose sons are fighting gloriously for the country's name and the world's cause, and whose every effort is bent today upon the winning of victory. But Republicans are proud of the record of their leaders and of their representives In congress, and in such part of the government activi ties as they have been permitted to direct and assist. And they Justly resent the atempt of Democratic politicians to cast the shadow of disloyalty upon a party which was born to fight for true Americanism and for all Its days as in this present crisis has "kept step with the flag and marched to the music of the union;" which in every crisis has been the strong bulwark of American pride and greattness. Mr. Hayes has done well to chal lenge the insincerity of these tactics of unscrupulous politics and Republi cans everywhere will welcome the issue and go gladly to the people on the record of their party leaders. There has never been a time when Republican leadership in the nation has been more deserving of con fidence or more needed in the high councils of the nation. There has never been a time when Republicans WHICH DO YOU WANT? More and Cheaper Fish HONEST LIVELIHOOD FOOD "PRODUCTION HIGHER PRICED FISH "Pleasure Seekers ' .

(Paid Advt.) might uphold the mighty traditions of their party or stand more reso lutely upon its principles in full faith that they will work beneficently and potently for the well being of the people, the strong protection of American institutions, and the fur therance of our national Influence throughout the world. 5-5 WHERE PIERCE STANDS. A number of officers and members of the Central Oregon Good Govern ment League have rushed Into print with vehement denials of The Voter's statement that it was organized by men in sympathy with the Non-Par-lisau League. We expected ilie denials, and are exceedingly gratified that the name of the Non-Partisan League is so odious to former spon sors. In the course of these frantic dis .ii.imors, which in the main are denunciatory of The Voter, are :.u:;:ercus revelations of the depth cf feeling of the new league leaders ana of the ideals which the new league apparently is formed to promote. cm one of the published letters, that of Roy Canterbury of Bend, we quote: "Walter M. Pierce spoke before 10,000 people in Bernd on Labor Day and had no trouble in convincing them where he stood. He made it quite plain to the people of this sec tion that the stunts pulled off at Oregon City and Camas by armed thugs employed to break the will of :he members of organized labor on strike there, could not be repeated under the administration of a gov ernor fair to organized labor, or a governor with a spark of human feel ing in his breast. "Everyone knows that the thug must go when Pierce becomes gover nor of this state, and the majority Is sure of his becoming governor In the near future. "If being true to the principles of democracy is radicalism, then we are it; If to organize against the kept press and the rotten things that they are continually pulling is radicalism, then again we plead guilty." Ore- !-! INTERESTING REVELATION. In connection with C. S. Jackson's legal rate bill, Editor Bede recalls an occurence at the session at which the present legal rate bill was enacted. Jackson's man, Friday, Attorney Hagood, represented Jackson there. He admitted that the legal rate bill was a good one and a wise piece of legislation. "If you will allow our delinquent tax list bill to go through without a fight, I will go before the committee which is considering your bill and tell them that It is one of the best pieces of legislation ever proposed to a legislature," are the words Bede credits Hagood with using. Before the committee which al lowed but 10 minutes for the dis cussion of the bill Mr. Hagood used more than the allotted time. Mr. Bede asked for permission to ask but one question as his part of the argu ment. He then asked Mr. Hagood if he had made the statement quoted above. Evidently thinking a trade was in sight Hagood admitted the fact. The committee was astounded by the admission and the legal rate bill was Immediately reported out favorably. This law, which Jackson's author ized representative once admitted to be one of the best pieces of legis lation ever proposed to a legislature, is now held up to ridicule by the man who once endorsed it. The voters would.de well to gat at the reason for such inconsistency. Cottage Grove Sentinel. 5-5 Governor Withycombe has been safe and sound. He has conducted the state with credit through per haps the most trying period of its existence; he has thorough grasp of all state matters, and we say frank ly that he should be permitted to continue to work and the state will be the gainer. Hillsboro Independent. "While a want of time precludes any elaboration of the various mat ters that may engage my endeavors," said Senator McNary at the time of his appointment to the Senatorship, "I shall advocate and enlist my ef forts in behalf of National Equal Suffrage and National prohibition, as each of these measures has been adopted by the people of the state which I am selected to represent. "I shall cooperate immediately with any movement which has for its purpose the suppression of gambling and speculation in the necessities of lite to the end that the consuming public shall pay a fair profit to the producer only." On the same day, Oswald West said: "If the pledges ho (Senator McXary) has made to tho-people are kept, and I am sure they will be, he will unquestionably be returned to the Senate at the next general eler tion." Senator McNary has kept hU every pledge. Ho voted for sub mission of the National prohibition amendment to tha Legislatures of t'iia several states. He also voted for National Equal Suffrage and has ii .ircdnred a bill fixing the prices of many essential commodities. Be sides, he has a 100 per cent record for supporting the President's war program. Senator McNary should be re elected for the increased service he will be able to render his state and nation. 5- 5 Walter M. Pierce, Democratic nominee for Governor, is now busy denying that he is a member of the Non-Partisan League. The fact re mains undisputed, however, that Mr. Pierce attended, participated In the discussions and served on, -the legislative committee at the meeting held in Portland Saturday, January 19, 1918, when the Non-Partisan League in this state was organized. Can it be that Walter is ashamed of his company? Morrow County had a stupendous sum to raise In the Fourth Liberty Loan drive; living up to her splendid patriotic record, she has gone over the top with a few thousand to the good. On top of this our people will come across with their quota in the coming United War Work Cam paign. No slackers here when it comes to backing up Uncle Sam's boys. NOTICE OP FINAL SETTLEMENT.

Smythe, Pres., or T. F. Boylen, Mgr., Pendleton, Oregon. I With a dignified simplicity of: manner Governor Withycombe has approached the affairs of state cheerfully, though seriously, always adhering to the common sense side of business procedure, always en- couraging the expansion of legiti mate industries and always working toward the development of a greater and cleaner Oregon. He Is entitled to re-election on his record, regard-; less of politics. Governor Withycombe was nomin ated and elected on a platform of greater development for Oregon, and this platform has been consistently followed during his administration. He has made a particularly striking record as a war governor, and the eplendid spirit shown by Oregon in all patriotic enterprises has been faithfully reflected in the firmly pa triotic stand taken by the state's chief executive on every war issue that has come up.
