La Follctto in La Fol lotto's Weekly.) "An extraordinary political con dition exists In this country nt tho present time. Thu rank and file of tho domoeratiu party is overwhelm ingly progressive.

It was forced to accept a progressive platform and candidate at llultiinoroY by Hryiin and has been forced by tho president, with many a hnlt and side step on thu way, to a generally pro gressive couinti in legislation. Many of tho candidates of both parties aro bad, tho tools, tho agents, thu handy men of the special interests. And at no time in half a century has (hero been such urgent demand for fearless political independence.

LANDSLIDE FOR CHAMBERLAIN IN JACKSON COUNTY Result of Straw Ballots Shows Sena tor Has Walkaway Smith Also to Receive Big Majority Vote Taken in Phoenix, Central Point, Jackson ville, Ashland and Medford. A landslldo for Chamberlain and Smith! That Is the out-look as far n Jack- ton county la concerned. It Is .pos sible that each of theso two candi dates will receive aa many votes as all their opponents combined. Straw votes taken In Phoenix, Jack sonville, Central Point, Ashland and Medford, all told tho amo itory. From country precincts come tho same talc. Kverywhcro the Cham berlain and Smith sentiment is over whelming. Totals of Poll Tho Mall Tribune made an honest effort to secure an accurate estimate. Ono thousand ballots wcro distri buted In tho various localities Four hundred and fifty of these wero af terwards collected as marked by tho voter. Six persons collected tho ballots to prevent collusion. Fifty wero cast at each Phoenix, Jackson ville and Central Point, luJ at Ash land, and 200 lu Mca'iora. Tho total was as follews: For senator Dooth, 74; Cham berlain, 253; H a nicy, 33; ltamp, 18; Stlnc. 20. For governor GUI, 10; Purdy, 4; O. J. Smith, 253; W. J. Smith, 12; U'Rcti. 25; Withycombe, 97.
