In tho meantime, tho tusk of organ
izing Oregon for this new registra

,. On Inst June , nil men between the
ages of 21 nnd 30 years, inclusive,

THE PBIMARY ELECTION
DESPITE the absorliing interest of the war, which has
rdugatfd politics to a bark scat, it is the part of good
citizenship to participate in the primaries next Friday, at
which candidates will be selected. The overwhelming ma
jority of the republicans in Oregon makes the chances of
democrats in November .slight unless the republicans
(boost; the wrong man when there will be a possibility for
the right democrat provided he is selected.
Two democrats seek nomination to the senate, former
governor Oswald West and former supreme court justice,
Will J. King. Of the two, .Mr. West, with a constructive
record of accomplishment, will make the best senator, for
his restless activity and energy, which is a leading charac
teristic, will insure for Oregon what Oregon needs.
Two republicans seek the scnatorship, Senator McNaiy,
who wtis appointed by the governor to succeed Harry Lane,
and Jiiihei't X. Stani'ield, millionaire sheepman and wool
speculator, speaker of the Oregon house of representatives.
Senator McXary has made a good record during his brief
term of office, has supported the president in his war poli
cies, and been active in Oregon's interest; Ho represents
the progressive wing of the party, while Mr. Stanfield rep
resents the reactionary element, the "stand-patters" or
iis they style themselves, the "100 per cent republicans.''
Stanfield 's nominal ion probably insures the election of Mr.
West.
For governor there are two democrats, Lee Stark
weather of Oregon City, a former member of the legisla
ture and State Senator Walter X. Pierce of Le Grande. Of
the two, Mr. Pierce is the better known and the better
qualified, having been prominent in state affairs, with
an excellent record in public and private likv
Six republicans seek nomination as governor. They
are: .1. J'. Anderson of Wasco, who as a member of the
legislature drafted the bone dry law; K. 0. Harlcy, mayor
of Astoria, who wants the manufacture of light wines and
beer permitted and is making his campaign for governor
by attacking Senator McXary; Hits (!. Mosier, president of
the state senate, who four years ago sought nomination as
candidates of the "wets;" icn W. Olcnlt, present secretary
of state; Louis J. Simpson, the (!oos Hay lumberman and
Governor Withycombe.
Of these, the real contest is between Withycombe and
Oleott, with Simpson, supported by the lumber interests,
looming as a possibility as a
generally conceded that the
and secretary of state.
As governor, Air. Withycombe has not made a particu
larly brilliant record. Many of his appointments have been
poor, lie started out by trying to reverse every policy in
augurated by Governor West, and ended by reversing him
self and adopting them, lie abolished the'honor system at
the state prison and his muddling produced such a reign of
anarchy that he was forced to restore it. llv made a scan
dal out of the flax experiment, lie litis gone out of his way
to aid the power grabbers and forced intervention by the
state in behalf of the power trust in Utah. Nor does his
record for economy and efficiency compare with that of his
predecessor.
Despite his amiability and cordiality, Governor Withy
combe never forgave Jackson county for voting against
him, and has seen to it that no state patronage came here
There have been no appointments to state office, outside
the county, to reward the faithful. He denied us represen
tatives on the important state boards, such' as the state
highway commission, the game commission, and the indus
trial commission, lie left us representation on a few
hoards that we had before, but took away our members
on the state board of health, state pharmacy board and
other bodies.
Governor Wit hycombe has, however, supported the war
policy of the federal governuniet and seeks re-election as
"war governor," yet in comparison with other governors,
like that of the governor of Michigan, his record seems
barren of accomplishment. Beyond the creation of a body
of state police, which he announces will be used to enforce
the prohibition law as well as guard shipyards, the state
has done little. Moreover, his council of national defense
litis no representation of any political party stive his own.
Mr. Oleott is admittedly the best secretary of state
Oregon ever had. He has been efficient and economical.
As i member of the state board of control, he has displayed
lcvcl-headedness ami sound business .judgment. He fre
quently clashed with the governor but time has proved
that Oleott was right. His experience in state affairs fit
him for the highest office. The only charges his enemies
make against him is that he hits not been a narrow par
tisan. 'Oleott s nomination will mean his election. .This can
not be said of any other candidate, for Mr. Pierce will
have ti fighting chance against tiny other candidate in the
field; for party lines set loosely oil the thinking people of
Oregon.
Selecting Cows for the Dairy Herd
The milk producing ability uf the
cows in a ilairv herd is u mutter of
lirt importance. A greater variation
exists among dnirv cattle Hum in
any other class of livestock, and it is
much more ditl'icult to pick Ibc good
individt:,N. Tin- makes it erv im
portant that delinite knowledge be
hud reuardmg the external cxidcticev
of milk prodncinc ability.
The only ale-ohilclv sure method of
selecting good cows is to wei-h ami
test the milk for n considerable period
of time. A single da's icld and
lest will not do. I Mien, however, lln
weighing ami testing is not possible,
and cows uiii-t he .elected nnd lioueht
when nothing authentic regarding
their production is known.
I'nilcr these conditions knowlcdce
regarding dam type and conforma
tion is of first importance. It is
possible to select good dairy cows
with n lair deem' of accuracy if otic
is familiar with the conformation that

fight is between the governor
accompanies hi-h milk producing
ability.
'fbe cow must show evidence of be
ing in vigorous health and have large
digestive ami milk secreting capac
ity. As evidence of licullh and constitu
tion there must be large heart and
leng capacity. This is shown by a
good spring to the fore ribs and width
on the lloor of the chest or just back
of the trout legs on the under side
of (lie body.
Ibgcstic capacity is shown by n
large deep body with long wide apart,
well sprung ribs.
.Milk secreting ipinlilics are shown
by a large, good sbasil udder that is
soft and pliable when empty. A
fleshy nddcr is not one that will se
crete huge amounts f milk. The rir
eulutory system should proxide for
a free circulation of blood through
the adder and large milk wells and
veins should be present.
