Tho vote for him nan he explained only on the theory that he waa picked for a winner. The vote for Rooaevell may be eoneeded to be in part from men who are attached to'prineiple. But what of the vole for a eoimtruetive atatesmai and friend of the people like La Follette, or a scholar like liurton, or a progressive like Cummiim? The vote smells of the flesh-Dots'. The republican party of Oregon is still in the tutelage of the afler-the-war politicians, who care for nothing aoove party success and party spoils. Tlieir only qualifi cation for a candidate is availability. The shouting for Hughes proves that. . There are many important questions of domestic and foreign concern before the country. Where does Mr. Hughes stand? Is he for preparedness or against it? Ts he for a tariff commission or opposed? Does he believe in conservation of natural wealth and American citizens? Is he opposed to child labor or is he with those who want to work the babies? Does he want a blood v war. or neaco? What Hughes believes or thinks, neither the Oregon re publicans nor any one else knows, hut they go on shouting Hughes, Hughes! Hughes to them means the only thing they care for, to-wit : A few measly federal offices. The straw vote, which is reported to have included 200 republican courthouse employes, summoned on an S. O. S. call by the Oregonian, gave 81H for Wilson, IG8 for Hughes, '.V2U for Roosevelt, with (57 scattering republicans, 5 bolting democrats and 10 socialists, ft certainly reflects public sentiment, and there is small consolation therein for opponents of the administration. If Wilson gets 813 votes .out of .1(192, what will be his majority next Novem ber in Oregon?

The plan provides that slate 4 per cenl bonds be sold at par, tne proceeds either to be loaned at the lowest possible rate to meet the bonds, or at a fixed rate of (5 ner cent.
