FurinorN of North, Middle-West and
West Caused t Suffer.
Washington. I). C, October 27.
Dues the American fitrmer desire a
perpetuation of Democratic rule In
Houso ami Senate?
Unjust discrimination lias been
practiced against the farmers of the
North, Middle-West, and West by the
present Democratic Congress, in
favor of Southern products. This
lias been done by the Southern
Democratic coterie now in absolute
control of House and Senate, and by
the Democratic National Administra
tion. A price has been fixed on wheat,
but not on cotton or rice, both purely
southern products. With no price
fixed on wheat it is the general
opinion that the grain would bring
far more to the farmer than $2.10.
The ditlerenoe in the price of wheat
as fixed by a Democratic Congress
and a Democratic Administration,
and un open market, is the difference
in hard caMi that the Northern, Mid
Western ami Western wheat farmer
dot Hi't got, a total that would
amount to hundreds of millions of
dollars. i'loraled it would be a con
siderable sum in the pocket of each
wheat grower.
l'rices of cotton and rice are tixed
by the law of supply and demand,
unhampered by Democratic Congres
si n;;! aeti.'.n. and consequently the
southern rice growers and cotton
planter:; are vapidly becoming
wealthy with the enormously in
creiecd war time 'srices for rice and
cotton. . The Southern Democrat
who control Congress have taken
good care that the Southern cotton
and rice grower shall nnt,hav? the
prices of his products controlled by
legislation, but this Southern dele
gation says what the wheat fanner
shall K-t for bis crop, not what it
should bring In th world's markets,
as in the case of cotton, which prior
to the war sold at 7c per pound, iviw
sells for SL'c, regulated by the law
of supply and demand, but an arbi
trary price that lias taken millions
out of his pockets.
Similarly a price has been fixed
on wool. It would be hard to
compute t lie immense sum that the
Mitldk-Wostorn and Western wool
grower has lost by the arbitrary
fixing of the price of his product.
Hundreds of millions would noi
cover his loss. Hardly any wool i.i
product l in the South.
A price has been fixed on coal.
Most of the coal is mined in the
North and Middle West.
Hut no price has been fixed on
lumber, another principal product of
the Fun i hern States.
How long tloes the wheat farmer,
the wool grower, and the coal pro
ducer intend to allow Democratic
Congressional discrimination in favor
of the cotton and rice planters and
the lumbermen of the Southern
States.
The discrimination against every
other section of the country in favor
of the South is not the only way In
which the present Democratic Con
gress has worked for Its favored
section.
The present Democratic, Congress
is collecting the bulk of the revenue
to carry on the war and the govern
ment north of the Mason and Dixon
line. The Democrats accomplish
this by their control of the Ways
and Means and Finance Committees,
in which they have the majority
memberships nnd the chairmen.
Not only do they collect most of the
revenue from the North, Middle-West
and West but they spend most of
this revenue in the "Solid South",
an unfair method of distribution of
these immense sums.
Most of the great government
plants for war work, most of the
army cantonments, and most of the
army aviation fields have been
established in the Southern slates.
Money collected from the taxpay
ers of the North, Mid-West and West
is spent by millions in tho favored
South. Paying comparatively small
amounts of taxes and with small
populations tho Southern States not
only dominate Congress and the
Administration but collect Immense
sums from the other Sections of the
country, which they spond In thoir
own section, through a Southern
Cabinet and a Southern President,
who directs tlie expenditures.
Discrimination in favor of the
South as against the North and West
In location of cantonments and other
great war activities lias been per
sistently practiced by Secretary
taker.
Despite the fact that the Northern
and Western States have supplied
more troops for fighting the war
with Germany (a glance at the
casualty list of any day will tell the
story), and have paid more taxes to
-i; r . jf-i-t the war than the Southern
States, Secretary l'aker has located
mttst of i!;e army activities ia the
South, where army expenditures are
..owing a steady stream of gold into
the hai.ti;; (.1 the people of that
section.

The South is in control of the
legislation or the country, and also
in control of the Nation in practically
all of its administration in the war.
Seventy-eight per cent of the Wash
ington employees are from those
i.ates where cotion is king.
Never in the history of this Re
public has the power of determining
.he national policies been concen-1
trated In the hands of so few men,
or so monopolized by a small number
of states. !
Of the fifty-two Democrats in the'
Senate thirty represent the "Solid:
South," and eight others were born!
in the South, so in the Senate there
are thirty-eight Democrats, who are
responsive to Southern interests. j
Of the seventy-five committees in'
fl'.e Senate about one-third practi-1
tally do not function. Of the
iwcnty-oiiu chairmanships assigned,

Dr. Percy McMurdo arrived fr-m
Pert land on Sunday afternoon and
lias been at the bedside of his
brother, Dr. A. D. McMtirdo tiring
nil the week. The family of Dr.
McMurdo, including himself, have
been victims of Spanish influenza
and at this time they are all getting
along well except the doctor, who is
suffering from complications that
appear to be very serious.
Some eighteen or twenty woll de
veloped cases of influenza seems to
be the extent of Heppner's affliction
iust at present, and to date the most
of these are light, nnd no fatalities
have occured. Every precaution is
being taken to prevent the spread
of the epidemic and we hope that it
will be over shortly.
D. B. Stalter came in from the
mlncB In the Greenhorn mountains
Sunday. He has had a good season
In getting out ore but could not ac
complish all he desired owing to the
scarcity of help. Miners were im
possible to get this year. Mr. Stalter
will remain at Iloppner for some time
but later expects to go to Payette,
Idaho, where his daughter resides
and will put in the winter there.
Adam Knoblock made us a call
last eveslng and settled up for this
family journal for the coming year
He is pretty busy now, plowing and
seeding and says that this is the
habit of nil his Heppner Flat neigh
bors. In that locality the earlier
sown grain is coming up well and
growing rapidly.

Republicans ere plainly top', by
President Wilson that they may givo
their sons, their money, their time
towards winning the war, b-;t offices
are only for the chosen few- vh) vote
the Democratic ticket. This is a
slap in the lace that should be re
sented by every Republican, and can
be best resented by every Republican
going to the polls next Tuesday and
voting the ticket straight.
Every Iv .publican of Morrow coun
ty is doing all that he can to help
win the war. Without Republican
help, the present war measures could
not have been put over, and we
would have beep in the field too late.
Now that everything is going favor
ably, the powers that be want to get
ail the credit and plainly tell the
people that Republicans are all
right as fighters, all right as money
producers to supply arms and food,
but that there their duty stps; only
Democrats are wanted in office.
"Politics adjourned!" Ye gods.
Adjourned, yes so far as the minority
party is concerned. I very much
misjudge the temper of the Republi
cans of Morrow county if the vote
next Tuesday does not show their
re-.nn'muiit.
Republicans of Morrow county,
see thai every voter gets to the polis

high fever.
Several cases of influenza broke
out among the guests at the Hotel
Wilson the firrt of the week. They
were remote;! to the Federated
church building and placed under
proper care and all are reported to
be getting along well. .
Walter Backet is very sick at his
home on Eight Mile, being a victim
of Spanish influenza. He is now
slowly recovering from pneumonia
and his physician expects with close
attention and good nursing he will
be able to weather the storm.
A son was born on Sunday, Oct.
27 to Dr. and Mrs. A. D. McMurdo
of this city.. The young man was
ushered into this life under rather
unfavorable conditions, his mother
being sick with influenza at the
lime, but we are glad to note that
both the baby and Its mother are
now getting along nicely.
Mrs. E. E. Lucas, Mr. and Mrs.
Thurman Curry and daughter and
Mrs. L. J, Lucas arrived Saturday

Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Lucas in this city.
Mrs. E. E. Lucas, mother of F. J.,
will visit, in Heppser for a time.. The
other folks returned home early in
the week.
Report reaches us that the family
of Ralph Akers of lone are just re
covering from an attack of Spanish
influenza. Mr. Akers and the child
ren were all down at tho same time
and he is not yet fully recovered,
though getting along all right, after
having suffered about all tho ail
ments one could be expected to
endure in tho short space of a couple
of weeks.
We are informed that the trial
of Joo Handy, recently arrested for
making moonshine whiskey, has not
yet been set in the United States
court at Portland. Witnesses were
called to Portland early last week
on the case, and their testimony
taken before the Federal grand Jury,
but so far as we are able to learn
that body has not returned an in
dictment and Handy Is at liberty on
bond and at the present time is re
ported to be working In the ship
yards in Portland. It seems to be
understood that he will plead guilty
when called Into court.
UN PRESENT ft
FULL TICKET OF MEf
Some Kvriteinent Is In Sire for,
Tuesday, November 5th.
In order that there might be some
excitement, and that our citizens
might know there was a city election
on, the women of Heppner have
nominated a ticket, composed of men,
which ihey present for consideration
at the election on next Tueslay.
The ticket is as foJlows: For
mayor, Dr. R. J. Vaiighnn;
CGunctlmen, Fred Tash, J. W.
mer and Michael Kenny; for
recorder, J. P. Williams;
treasurer, L. W. Brings.
for
for
That their ticket should become j
known ot once, posters were printed,
containing the abo?o names, to
gether with the platform the women
are running the men on. This is re
printed in another column.
Now, we do not know just when the
women got together on thin proposi
tion, and just who constitute "The
Wompr. of Heppner," but really this
is it::ra Uerial. They have made a
good selection of men, and the plat-f.-rn
t! c.-.e men have to stand on,
becausr the women say so, is all
ril:ht. Platforms arc mr.de to stand
on, we found that out in campaigns
"f a r.. re pretentious nr-.ture and
passe:! by other great political or
ganizations in this country not so
many in inths since. Just, how long
they will be able to str.nd on the
niatlorm. however, will be up to the
men, after they have been elected.
Now it seems that this ticket 13 as
much cf a surprise to the nominees
as it was to the rost of the com
munity when announced. Some of
them have been very emphatic in
stating that they will not stand; and
will not run; they will not. stay put.
How unkind, men, when the ladies
'nave said you must.
In opposition to this ticket, there
. .I) what may here be called the
' f i;;rs," W. W. Smead for mayor,
'. ('. Hager, Fred Tash and Hanson
1 i.'-l.es, councilmen; J. P. Williams,
itier and L. W. Brigga, treasurer.
Yds ticket was selected a week or
more ago, after a canvass bad been
ale to ascertain who ecu Id be de--mietl
on to run. They have pro-
::::'!: Riecl no particular platform, but
vmd'.-i stand that some of them,
1" hast, are willing to set on t!je
.i-ntctt's platform, because they
;l.mk it is big enough for the whole
mu-ch.
The fight is now on and for once
in recent years we are to have some
'.king doing in our city election. It
uM'.cs the women to stir things up.
Claude Cox has announced his
candidacy for city recorder and is
suing into the race to win, he says.
He lias not announced his platform
but we presume that he can run just
as well. Mr. Williams, his opponent,
i 'as been on the job faithfully for a
long time and Mr. Cox realizes that
l,e will have to "go some" if he
comes in ahead of Joe.
C. L. Sweek will also be a candi
date for councilman and will add zest
to the coming race. His derision to
enter the ring was made Sate today
and this now makes a line-up for
iMimcilmen that is hard to beat. We
presume that Mr. Sweek will also get
onto the ladias platform, though he
1ms made no expression in this re
gard. Kl'Y a Peterson Tire Welder of
