Xor upon the faet that it is the best airport on the c.oast, outside of th'! larger cities. These farts are important.

American families which devote all their time, energy and money to keeping up with the Jonses ought t sympathise with the golf fofesslonals. Vlrinlan-Pllot, AN enthusiastic supporter of the late George Joseph, volun teered the interesting iuformation yesterday, that if Julius Meier js .nominated .011 an independejit ticket; he will sweep'the state in jUic fall cJiietioii. us Mr. Joseph did in the primaries. He was greatly pleased when we replied that this .was not improbable. Jint this pleasure quickly changed to indignation, when we declared if Mr. Meier should sweep the stale, us Mr. Joseph did, he (Meier) would be beaten by Phil Mctschan, or Ed ward Jiailey. . ' ' ' His indignation merely demonst rules how widespread the impression is that Mr. Joseph's primary victory was a landslide, and that any candidate will be elected who docs as well ii( the elect ion us he did, in the preliminaries. ' 7 I'l'i, i ', j .' , ... ,. ..i.i. t -, I ,' 1 ' KIOTHINO could be further from the truth. '' According to the ' official figures Ocorgc Joseph won1 the Republican by 50,-. "ill) votes. Governor Norblad was seeoitd with' 4ti,074' 6108; Cor bett third with 3:1,861 votes; Hull fourth with' 9,235 votes',; Den nett fifth With 3,420, and Jeffrey sixth with' 1,510 votes: : In other words out. ot a total of approximately 164,000 Re publican votes, Joseph secured less than '30 percent. Ho only nosed out Norblad, second in the race, by about 4000 votes, and this plurality was entirely due to his strength in Multmunah. Outside of Multnomah, Governor Norbliul defeated Joseph, by a plurality of nearly illUIO. . e IF MR. MKIBB gets only 30 percent of the Republican, vote, he will he the last man in (he race, Instead 'of first.'' He could get the entire Joseph primary vote,' and' fifty percent of the .'Demo cratic primary vote, and still .assuming liailcy would get the other half of the Democratic vote and Metschan '70 'percent of the Republican Vote, the latter would win nearly two To one. An independent candidate litis never yet won aii import mi t election in Oregon, lint almost "invariably independent candi dates have succeeded in electing a Democrat. This may not be the result this year, but we see no reason why it shouldn't be."'" If 1 ..., 1 . .-..in !ni' .'!' v' '.'' jnoi while a few Democratic luminaries like !Mrs:'''Walter Piereej A. C. Hough, 'W. O. Culbertso-n and others, liav'c al reatly come out for Meier, the Democratic rank amU'tlc WON'T. Pickings in the political vineyard of this state are too slim, for the Democrats, to pass up such a golden opportunity 'of getting hold of the stale house at Salem again. Moreover from all we run learn Drother Hailcy is a good man, will probably never set the world on fire, but he has ideas of his own," ami most of I hem are gooil ones. KTO is Mr. Meier I.; ';i he Oregon's next Governor, he will have to tlo better than the man whose spiritual legatee in jir.ol'esses t,o be. He wjll have to be 11 better hand-shaker tliini Men Olentt ; anil a better vote-getter than former Senator liourne. We don't mean to say Mr. Meier's election is impossible. Nothing in politics is impossible, particularly' at the present time. Hut we tlo mean to say it is highly improbable. And it is I'KKTAIN, that unless he secures a great propor tion of the Republican support in the election, than the late Sen ator Joseph did in the primary, Julius Meier is beaten before he rtarts. pro It is also trui1 in the long run that rolling bones gather 'no moss.

It Is coming from those who are being displaced as marketers of the farmer's crop. The farmer, who doe' the pro ducing, has been getting too little of what the consumer pays for what is produced. That, funda mentally, 1a why he Is not as pros perous as other classes of the pop ulation. The farm marketing act repre? sents a determined effort to get for the farmer, by means of bet ter marketing methods, a larger share of what the consumer finally pays for the farmer's products.

(Portland Telegram). o Here is an extremely significant paragraph from a Washington dis patch In this newspaper on Sunday: "The Farmers Nntinnnl Grain corporation was declared today by C 4?. Huff, Its president, to have become the Greatest Simile Factor In the world wheat trade." Simmering of Oregon Politics MoUttihnn's Nomination (Salem Capital-Journal)1 Nomination of Phil Metschaii for Governor by the Republican state committee was a' logical out-1. come of its convention, for Mr.' Mctschan, having been chairman for the paxt eight years was of course better known personally to. committeemen than other candi dates. The organlzatlcn J.orpetu- ated itself by promoting Its chaii'V man to the governorship and its- secretary to the chairmanship. To accomplish this tho secret ballot was re-sorted to, on tlie grounds that the end JuHtiflcs the means. t; .Though tho failure of"thc com mittee to nominate Tom Kay Is a disappointment to the latterV many friends who felt that his long and excellent public service made him the best qualified of the candi dates and merited the coveted hon or, the committee is to be recom mended for not being stampeded, by the organized and costly fi nanced, high pressure ballyhoo into adopting a platform of hokum and selecting a political hybrid as Htandard-bearcr. At least It pre served its dignity by cl.oo.sing Republican" who stands on a lie publican platform, and whose dem agogy is conrined to orthodox Ro publican hooey. Whether Mr. Metschan can ha'1 elected remains to be seen. As the genial luwt of tlie Imperial hotel and through his long service to the party, he probably has a wider in dividual acquaintance than anyone in Oregon. He has served on the Port of Portland commission and Iwen actively connected with civic j affairs, having given his time and j energies freely for many years to public enterprises: He is a capable, business man and better qualified In many ways than some of our j governors have been, for the office.) If the hydro-phobic and ghot worshipers place a third candidate in tho field, as seems probable,, because, with a fat cut like Julius' Meier in the offing the temptation' Is irresistible to politicians, the) election will be In doubt until the' votes are counted, for the imlo-, pendent will draw from both the Republican and Democratic nomi-1 nees. especially In Portland, We I will then have a Republican con servative, a Democratic liberal and a radical to choose from. Mr. Metschen'a nomination docjs not evoke any wild enthusiasm neither did Withycomb's nor Pat terson's nomination, because con servatives don't enthuse. Rut both the latter got the votes against can didates with enthusiastic followings. Nor Is there any great enthusiasm thus early In the game, for the Democratic Mr. Bailey, who is not widely known. But' there will be plenty of hulWtmtoo for n third candidate, if. he is well financed. for the ballyhoo has to be greased.; Yet the fate of Independents ln "- the past offer little hope for the i r.TZZT: future, for a majority vote for the label instead of the man.
