Mnv 18 The attack JniiiH-hwl by the Atistrinns Munitwt the Italian front in tlu southern Ty rol, wliidi litis jtratlually B.lt'mlel to tlin entire AuMro-Italian front, is le inf followed here with Hose attention.

Xo importance id attached to tho falling bnek of the Italian advance lines which in considered nn obvious move, a they were not atifficiontl.vl Htiutiic to resist an nttack on it large scale. Although the Italian central position on the Lnvarone plateau is not yet involved, it is thought prob able the principal effort of the Aus trian will he iiiailc in that direction. It eenm evident that the Austrian Kcnernls intend to trv to carry out their former pin n of innthitifr a way ihiouph to the Vicenra plain. The fact that heavy reinforcements have been moved up under cover of the fonniduble series of fort4 stretchinn irom KolKaria and loimroiie favors the belief that Vieenxa in the real ob jective of the offensive. Jmiiikh1 to Kiilluio. French military authorities are sat isfied that the Aut-triuus am doomed to failure. It is pointed out that the Italians have made every possible preparation for .jtthl such an attack us the present, and that the most (mj well til OeieiiKCs tliat oiiKincenng skill could devise have been itrepmvd on the Amuko plateau and in the mountains northwest of Arsiero. It is on this lino that the Italians are ex pected to make their real staud in ovent the Austrian continue to push their offensive. MAN ROME, Mnv IS. An official di pHteh from Ituliun headqunrturs nt IMitie reMrta that Austrian ' aero ))huies have made several attacks on h town near Venice. It is stated that these attacks have caused insignifi cant material dninnue, that no lives hnvo been lost and no military re sults accomplished. 1'mhcivs ltcH)i(cd. 1IHKL1N, May IS (by wireless to Sayville). Artillcrv eiwairomnila are in progress all along the Austro- Italian front on which the AustHuns began an offensive movement several days ago. The official Austrian state ment of May 17 reports the capture ot new Msittons on the Doberdo pin tenu. Several Italian cities, in addition to Venice, were attacked in the recent nir raids, which, the statement says, wcie very effective. Tho announce munt follews: "AUillery oomhats are in progress along the whole front. On Doberdo plateau our new position was extend ed by the axplosion of mines.

MACHINE ISSUE SEEN AT STAIE CAPITAL (Kiom the Salem Capital Journal.) The Capital Journal has not taken any interest in the republican primary election for the vcrv good reason that it is little concerned over the result. The candidates have made many pledges of economy and reform in their bids for votes, hut we presume if nominated, and n republican nom ination is in most instances equiva lent to election, most of them will follow serenely in tho footsteps of those who have gone before. The candidate and office-holder generally I view the job of serving the public from radically different angles. If we took seriously the nnte-cleclion pledges of the candidates, or believed that they do themselves, we might bo more interested iu the primary elec tion and its results. Out-lmtlou.s All, There is one contest, however, which seems to overshadow all oth ers this year that Of svetctnry of state. It is a case of one man pitted against a political organization, be cause the powers that be have decreed that the one man must lie pmtished for haiug nn occasional independent thought and acting sometimes on his own best judgment, lten Olcott seems to be ono of the few men in the state house who considers himself answer able to the jieople who elected him and not to the little ring which now they nie in office feel that thoy own the state house and all that apiier- tains to it. Iietween Olcott and Moores as in dividuals we have no choice, hut wo do like to see fair play, and Olcotfns a comieleiit offieinl is as much en titled to it ns anybody else. He is not getting it iu this case. Moores has been chairman of the state ro IMiblican committee for several years, aid might be said to own that organ ization. Mot of tho committeemen and regular strikers are out for him. A majority of the republican newsw jHrs is for him because inanv of the publishers have received office at the hands of the state administration, among them the morning Statesman of this city, which has come out stmnely for Moores. Many of these pajiers have to do what thev arw doing some of them arc party organs of the old school from choice. IIoitIIiIo Kuuuplo. Ro, on the faco of it, Olcott does not appear to have a show. He is to be made a horrible example of as h man who refused to how to the )miw ers that control his party organisa tion. No hint is made that he is dis honest, that he is inconiieteut, that he has neglected his official duty but be hasn't Itcen "good" iu the party sense. He has at various times form ed himself into a minority party and otcd yes or no at bourd meetings when the governor and the other members of the board wore anxious to have unanimous uction. In Oregon party polities it is to be made u crime, or more proierly, a heresy, to think or act indHndeutly, and lk-n Olcott is the first victim to be burned at the stake, figuratively speuking, of course. The plan to sacrifice Olcott may work out just as ita promoters eon' f ideally expect it to unless th. rank and tile of the republican pnrt ,,li iccts to the proceedings. Kepubli.-iiu voters are on the whole prettv hon est, intelligent people who turned their own party out of power iu Ore gon for seteral years becaiiMi ibev had become disgusted with the vwiv the men who were elected bv them conducted the business and legisla tion of the -tate. There is no reason to beliext- that thi-v like ring rule ait belter now than they bae in the past and will, don't begin celebrating Moons' noil, ination until tli i.ttirns tic all m. Ynu iiiiuht lnvV oi cation to feel foottMi.if ou do. Honesty ft Ik'ffO We have always found that it is best iu the long run to be honest and frank and qaiottitli the public. The editor of the Capital Journal is not a republican; he is not a partisan and thinks that a jmper niav be independ ent iu a partisan senc, although it stands for ceitain principles of gov ernment that are made issues bv pol itical )mrtie. Wc have no particular interest in the success of nnv pnrtv organization, standing rather for principles and for candidates who seem best qualified for public scrxicc, regardless of their prtrty nffiliatuuis. Lincoln is cicdited with siiing that "Hod must have loed the plain peo ple, because he made so tnanv ol them," and we have come to think a good' deal that way in resiect to the republican voters. They arc so nu merous always that it is sate to s.iv their mission in tho scheme of gov ernment is for good nnd that a large majority of them are politically in terested first of nil iu their own wel fare, which is human nntttrc, and al ter that in government that will re dound to the greatest good to the greatest number, which is true pntu otistn. That is why we believe Hen Olcott will win nct Friday. The or ganization arrayed against him is too perfect; its objects arc too appaicnt and its motives and self-interest can not be misconstrued. Republican vot ers will place the man above the ma chine; freedom of thought and speech above n patronage-purchased party pi ess. Seeking Fat .lobs. Of course, this is none of the Capi tal Journal's business the Oregon inn will certainly say "so; that wc are a non-parlisnn democratic newspnier which should not Initt into republican quarrels. Still we arc inclined to think that a great many republicans and good, straight ones, loo, will ap preciate our saying u word for the man who is fighting with his buck to the wall against tho machine, and whose nomination would be equivalent to serving notice on certain occiiwnt of fat jobs iu the state house that more attention paid to business and less to imliliciil wire-pulling would he appieciated. That notice should bo given by icpublieun voters next Fri day by the renominntion of I Jen Ol cott for the good of tho republican jmrfy, the pcoplo of Oregon of all larties.
