Sptailnj of a plethora of cndiiiatea, ItwlUUaoilotd that 8ppooM and gt Helena art golug ton. If lb puplt of tht United 8tatea do not wUh to tee history repeat itself la tbo perilous timet of 60-'61-63 and 6S, some action must be taken by the (serai fowumeut to stay tba hand of greed. WoU in SauFrauclaco, Inno eeat fcien beinf kidnaped from one state to be taken to another and placed upon trial for tbelr Hires, and all the grafters this aide of hades working the wage earners the time is ripe fur a revolution. Let us hope it will be settled by ballot and not bullets. Columla Couuty is approaching a crisis in tie matter of the electiou of vffloere. The democrats are so far In the miuority that it is oslees to place a ticket In the field. It is only by the hope of a split in the republican ranks that any out but a republican can be elected. However independent candi dates may be nominated and win out In the race. We bear the name of V. J.FuIWrtou for the office of county coumUMiuner. air. Fuller ton would bake an excellent officer and would poll a Urge rote as neltl f .he aspir ants ou the republican or democratic primary tickets are likely to toll the full party vote. The election of Inde pendent candidates will teach the party leaders to bring out their beat men. Last weeks Mist, overcharged with bile, sought feleif by belching forth the following: "The Mist wishes to con gratulate Hon. C W. Fulton, Oregon's only senator, upon his speech in support of the Hepburn bill etc. etc." We pass without comment the obvious ly Intended slight upon Oregon's junior senator and aim refrain horn express ing to the Mist editor, our appreciation of bia partisan tommyrota reverber ation of the swashbuckling, build oaiug politics of the now dilapidated Mitchell machine-and rise to ask: since when has the peoples faith ia Fulton become a thing positive? Since when did he become the champion of the people? The administration never did have any use for Fulton, hasn't now and sever will hare. Not one reoco mandatloo ever made by him has been acceptable to the president This be ing to tLe Register desires to ask : Be tween whom will the people choose, Roosevelt or the windy mia-repreaenta- tive from the clam beds of Astoria. If they choose Roosevelt then certainly they must repudiate Fulton; and inci dently all his friends, among whom, eunfeasedly, k Flagg. The awakening began when Oregon land frauds, colloeeal iu their extent feetered and nutured by the dominaut political party, were laid bare. But this la only the begin mug of the bouse cleaning. The same force that placed iu power Douglas la Massachusetts LaFollette la Wiecousln; Folk iu Miss ouri; Wever In Pennsylvania and Je rome In New York are doing effective work In this Bute that cannot fall to have result In the June election. When enough republican voters, four years ago, revolted at the machine method of their party manageis, to assist In the election of Governor Cham berlain, many people taw In the occur aoce, the beginning of the end of the reign of thla corrupt dynasty. The wise, clean, economical and nou par J aan administration of the Governor has strengthened this Impress 'on. AN EXORMOVS RAKK-OFK The fact that at least three of the State officers in Ortwou get stupendous "grafts" or rake-offs. Is just now becoming fully understood, digeMed and realized by tbt great mat of voters In Oregon. It has set thtru to thinking. They perhaps harbor no hatred (or the direct bensflelaria; but they do coidem the political party that has allowed the rteal ta exist and It is becoming apparent that they in tend to vote down the regeme that has encouraged the graft aud fatted on the spoils, When the State Printer, an .officer that exists, like the curl in a pig's tail, for oruimant only, receives for his ser vices more money than Is paid in salary to the President of the United State, it is evident that there is "Something fcit ten In the State of Denmark." The voters would like to know why the treasurer of Oregon should be paid more money in one year tbau the Chief Jostice of the Uuited States gets in three years. Ther are asking that stop be put to the system that pays the Secretary of State nearly as large an amount as tht combiued salaries of 11 the President'scabinet officers. Or egou'a State Printer jrets more pay than the combined salaries of United States Arnbatfsidors to Great Britian, Russia and Germany. The people are asking ''Are we getting the worth of our money. It is a noticable fact that one of the- Republican aandklatea supposed to be leading for State Printer has studious !y avoided saying that be favors put ting that office on a flat salary. KEEP TUEBlNkER OUT. W. A. Harris, deputy county clerk, received a message that his mother, who ia 72 yeais of age, Is not expected to live. He started Tuesday for her home In Buffalo, N. Y. Cbaa Graham writes from Monrovia, Calif, to bis daughter, that his health is greatly improved and he will start for home on the 13 lust. This Is good news to his many frienda here. In the monopoly of Republican aspir ants for office at least two Democrat ml, old-time, office-or-or-no-office Democrat are strictly in the race, and so far a the ticket In this county is concerned only two candidntes are in the field; but they are Democrats Democracy means government by the people. Republicanism means the re verse of monarchism and Is but i slightly less defined construction of Democracy. We might go on aud re duce it to the bighcockalorum and locockahlrum proposition, but you see the point Parties have significance only as their platforms are founded on living issues aud these issues actually differ. Otherwise it is but a question of men. The class of men aspiring to . the clerk's office is one that must be considered by the people. Mr. Hen derson caudiate for the democratic nomination and W. A. Harris one of the aspirant for nomination on the re publican ticket are each well qualified for the position, both having been tried, and each is a decided compliment to the popular conception of the re sponsibilities of the office and if both should be nominated no one can safely venture a prediction as to who will win and it is possible that other estimable candidate may be in the race at the Juue election. Portland Letter. w - . l a . tt n r ronianu, April remaps no people in the world certainly nopeopl in free America, are at graft-ridden as art the taxpayers of Oregon. Some of them have known this for a long time a great many of them have ascertained the facts within the past year or so, but it has only been recently that the great body of the plain people have beta awakened to a full and complete realization of tht disgraceful condition of existing public affairs, with the wakening comes a positive and direct demand-far reform. It is the forward swine of the pendulum. While the movement ie not nearly unanlmus the great majority, of the taxpayers in the commonwealth propose to put an end to the syselem aud methods of grafting . a a t J s-v ia uigu places, mat nave piacea uregoo is such an enviable light In tbt eyes of tbt Nation.

WaarMaat W latM urner The contest for the Republican uoin iuatiou of State Treasurer has plainly narrowed down tn Thus. F. Ryan, Couuty Judge of Clackamas County; Ralph Hovt, a Portland banker . and K. V. Carter, a Southern Oregon banker. Looking at the question a It uow stands, mi Imue of great concern confronts the people of the state, Inas much a it la apparent that the bank Ing Interests of Oregon are making a desperate effort to secure control of the public funds. What ia the meaning of thin? Have the batiks advance In formation of a coming money strin gency? If this is the situation then It Is possible to understand why the bankers' "inner circle" Is beudlng every sinew to land one of their num ber In ttie Slate Treasurers office. The money under the care of the State Treasurer, Including the public school fuud, ia au immense sum. If it cau be used, in time of a money panic to bolster up bauks tottering on the verge of htukruptcy, the bankers may uow will expend a handsome for tune to get control of the state money. This is good enongh for the hanks but how about Imperiling the hard earned contribution of every taxpayer to the ruuning expenses of the state as well as the public school fuud? There is auother side to it. The Sec retary of State is very likely to be a Salem banker. Should we have a bauker for Secretary of State and a bauker for State Treasurer, thro two would absolutely control the loaning of the state school fund. This fuud is loaned on mortgage, at the rate of 6 perceut and secured by hundreds of farms In every county of the state. Should the fund, Instead of being loaued out as it comes in, be kept iu the state treasury, interest on money would advance two or three per cent. Then would come the bankers' harvest aud the borrowers trouble. As men who lived through the panic of ten years ago know well a high rate of In terest with brokerage added means the suction block for many and mauy a farm. Now is the time to be wide awake keep the school fund away from bank manipulation. It is the balance wheel that regulates the interest rute in the state. We do business on the credit system and dear money for the borrower and hard times for all of up, except bankers and brokers in trenched behind a large reserve fund, walk hand in hand. Would the bankers and brokers like to keep the tterceut sclmol money loaned out or would they perfer to huve It hoarded up and deposit It with favorite banking Institutions. Auswecfor yourseir. The united effort of the bankers seems to be to defeat Judge Ryan and to laud some one of their number iu the State Treasurer's office. Iloyt of Portland, is a banker; Carter, of Ash land, is a banker; Atkin, of Huntington ta hanker. But the ereat mass of voters of the state of Oregon are "ot bankers and every vote cast in the April primary Is goinst to count in this struggle. The vote for nomination of Kmi Treasurer should l cast with a full realization of the situation. Ore School Apportionment.

Attorney-General Craw ford in an opinion rendered yesterday on an inquiry from County Clerk Roland, of Marion, says that County Clerks must send out blank "A" with the ballot boxes for the primary election. Blank "A" is used for swearing in voters at a general election who have failed to register. It was supposed until lately that an elector who had failed to register before the registration books closed for the primary election could not vote. The Attorney-General holds that the section of the general election law which allows an elector to "swear in" his vote with the assistance of six freeholders applies also to the primary election. TWO PARTIES ONLY REIOUMZEI) IN DECISION ON PRIMARY LAW. Attorney-General ( raw ford Huys No One Can Vote at Primaries Unless Registered as Republicans and Democrats Salem Ore., March 29. Attorney-General Crawford handed down an opinion yesterday to the effect that no one can vote at the primary election who is not registered either as a Republican or Democrat. The Socialists and Prohibitionists would be entitled to vote for their ow n party nominees, provided they hid ca!t votes enough at the last election to entitle inctn to participate in the election. As tl ere ure but two tickets in the field, Republican and Democrat, it is the postive opinion of Mr. Crawford that the judges of the primary election have no discretion in the matter, and unless a voter is duly registered as a member of one or the other of these two parties theyjeanuot allow him to vote. Under the law it is a misdemeanor for a man even to offer to vote unless he is entitled to cast a ballot.
