WEIQH THE SITUATION. The gentlemen who have Kin elected iih delegates to the county convention to W held here next Sat urday nn doubtless aware of the great responsibility renting upon them. They have the future well far? of the county on their hands, and it lsdnHives every one of them to care fully weigh the situation liefore vnnt Ing their vote on thnt day. They have the power to assist in maintaining the Integrity of the gov ernment and general prsperity of the county established by the fear lessly honest administration of such eminent statesmen as Theodore Roosevelt, Senator John H. Mitchell and the many others of like ability at Washington. Senator Mitchell's untiring zeal nud absolute fealty to our state's l?st Interests have made him the most influential and powerful cham pion of Oregon we have ever had at Washington, and it is of much im portance that jHTsonal friendship and obligations Is?, if necessary, dis regarded eutirely, that tried and true friends of Senator Mitchell le nominated for the legislature at the state convention. The delegates know that their votes next Saturday for state sena tor will be either for or against Mitchell' iuterests, and that this delegation Is to have a hand in choosing delegates to the national convention which will nominate a successor to President Roosevelt.

We risk the assertion that every delc who has the welfare of the county in view, will not run the risk of turning down the present administration for any such selfish motive as local fac tional victory And now, gentlemen, we leave this matter for your Is-st consideration, feeling assured that you Mill look le yond any local factional prejudice, and take tin' Republican view, that Senator Mitchell's election is what you most earnestly desire, and that the surest method of accomplishing this is to elect a state delegation un qualifiedly in fa or of R. A. Emmitt for slate senator. Mitchell's tried and true lieutenant. The Chewancan Post In m editor l.il last week raised ft question that will miti I re Investigation.
