Senator Races in the Primaries The most interesting phase of the approaching primaries is the tight for nominations for United States Sena- tor. In the Democratic party Willis Mahoney has no opposition for the four year term, and Edgar Smith seems far ahead for the six year term. The real contests lie in Repub lican ranks between Charles A. Sprague and Senator Guy Cordon for the four year term, and Senator Ru- fus Holman and Wayne Morse for the six year term. Both ex-governor Sprague and Wayne Morris are mak ing vigorous campaigns and Senators Holman and Cordon are so far, de pending on their friends to protect their interests. Both these campaigns are waxing warm, with considerable acrimony between Holman and Morse. Sprague, to date, seems to have a big edge on the prospects for the nom ination, and apparently Morse is gain ing rapidly. Both have the endorse ment of the big labor organization*, and Morse made a ten strike when he came out forthrightly against the tie- up of Montgomery Ward. Both are holding meetings all over the state, and are mixing with the voter* in city, hamlet and countryside with good ef fect. Sprague is making excellent speeches, and the newspapers are giv ing his ideas on the responsibility of the senatorship during the coming years wide publicity. Sprague is con sidered sound, safe and fair, and he has shown a growth in political un derstanding of state, national and in ternational subjects during the past several year*. He knows Oregon and the needs of the entire west and has a grasp of the growing importance of Pacific trade relations equal to any other man on the coast. While he is not considered as a good politician, in the usual meaning of politics, he has a wide acquaintance throughout the state, and a vast number of friends who consider that he is entitled to the nomination because of his record as governor and honest sen ice to his party, Nevertheless, campaigns take many strange quirks, and there are yet two weeks for the voters to make up their minds before making the marks in the booth* that count.

The Ford Tractor with Ferguson System is the only tractor which gives you light weight for light work and then automati cally "heavies" itself when the going gets tough. Therefore, there is no necessity for excess built-in ballast. No knuckles to skin or bark in piling on steel or concrete weights. No dead metal to pay for or fuel bills to carry it around. This is only part of the story. Come in and let us tell you about all the other postwar advantages of th« modern tractor. Rohrman Motor Co Phone 3291 • Hermiston VOTE For Former Governor Charles A.
