Smith carried Pend leton, his former Jionio, and Umatilla County, of which Pendleton is the principal center and commercial metropolis, by a large vote is held by Lis friends to be gratifying proof that where he is the best known there he is the strongest There is no purpose now to take is sue Avith t lii s little bit of personal or sectional argument, for the campaign is young, and the public mind is just now ready for other things, But it is well enough to use the Umatilla sit uation as a text for some remarks on other candidates in their own homes. Dr. Smith made a fine showing with a total of 1056, upon the indicated returns up to date, or more than three to one over Mr. Bennett, who had 314, and 101 for the other candidates. Dr. Smith had about 70 per cent of the aggre gate Democratic vote in Umatilla. In Wasco County, his chief competitor, Mr. Bennett, reversed more or less completely the Umatilla status by getting 576 votes, against 208 for Dr. Smith, or 294 for the combined op position. Mr. Bennett thus had about 65 per cent of the entire "Wasco vote. Now let us cast an eye on Multnomah County, where dwells an honored sou, Mr. Gus Moser, who, it is not forgotten, and will not soon be, was a candidate for the Republican nomination. Early in the late unpleasantness a certain Smith newspaper organ made the blunder of sneering at Mr. Moser. "With what result? Although there were three other Mult nomah candidates for the Governorship, Mr. Mouer swept the County against seven com petitors, receiving 84S4 votes, against 5456 for his nearest rival, and 936 for the lowest. In per centages the showing is about 25 -per cent of the total, but as evidence of Mr. Moser's running qualities the achievement is remarkable. Over in Clackamas County, another favorite son, Grant B. Dimick, was decidedly in the running. He got 1485 against 531 for the next highest candidate, which proves that his nei ghbors think highly of Mr. Dimick. But the crown must be given to Benton County and its candidate. Corvallis has long been the home of Dr. James Withycombe. Last Friday Benton County rolled up for him a to tal of 902 votes, against 107 for the nearest candidate (nearly nine to one), and 235 for the opposition. The proportion for Dr. "Withy combe is SO per cent. And the returns are not all in. They have no doubts about Dr. Withy combe in Benton County. Meanwhile we have waited in vain for a proclamation from Salem, testifying to the gratification (if Governor West that lie and his political cabinet had suet led in making tiu Residuary Legatee the Democratic candidate. Wlint is the matter! the facts to sustain him. ' With such a loss to the Country, wlundhe Democratic Party, in full control of the Gov ernment, is spending money until its wasteful extravagance has called forth a voriable scream of protest from newspapers of its own political faith with such a loss, is it any won der that there is complaint of hard times in the East I Even the West feels some depres sion, despite bumper crops. It is possible that the Republican victory throughout the United States next November, now clearly indicated from every quarter, will bring the Administration to its senses; but we doubt it. It will require the sweeping triumph of Republicanism in 1916 to show to the Dem ocratic leaders that this Nation stands for protection to American industries and that the tariff will always be an issue as long ns any one shall question the economic principal, the correctness of which has been proven by a century of experiment in the United States. FIGHtES T1IAT ARE ELOQUENT ( Reno (iazette ) Such figure as those furnished by Senator Snioot of Utah, a hard-headed business man with the training of a scholar, go far to ex plain why the Republican registration throughout the Nation exceeds that of the Democratic party by over two to one. -Senator Smoot shows that the loss under the Democratic tariff to the Country in the month of April this year was $63,000,000, and that this rate meant a total loss to the Nation of $766,000,000 a year. His figures, which were submitted to the Senate, are said to be sup ported by tables drawn from authoritative sources and he would hardly make such an alarming statement unless lie were armed with FORTY-THREE YEARS IN OREGON The Oregon inn makes prominent the following letter, that the public may have the benefit of the exact facts concerning one phase of the life of the Republican candidate for Governor of Oregon : Portland,. May IS. (To the Editor.) Will you kindly state how long Dr. Jns. Withycombe, the Republican nominee for Governor,' has been a resident of this country, and how long since he took out his naturalization papers and became a . citizen! By publishing this statement you will relieve the minds of a great many people regarding the oft repented statement that he has not been a citizen of this country very many years although a long time resilient. J. E. PENCE. The affair was referred to Dr. Withycombe with a request for a statement of the circum stances under which he became a' citizen of the United States. He makes the following reply : Corvallis, Oregon, May 21 (To the Editor.) I beg to say that I came to Oregon with my parents, a minor, in 1871. About a year later my father declared his intentions of becoming a citizen and four years later, when I became of age, understanding that my father had com pleted his final papers, I exercised my privilege as a citizen and voted for na tional, county and municipal officers. No one questioned my right to vote. A few years later s'pme one questioned the citi zenship of my neighbor, the late Thomas H. Tongue. This caused me to think of my own condition and I consulted Judge Mathew P. Deady, who advised me to take out my individual papers which I fid in his court, April 24, ISPS. The delay was simplv due to a misapprehension. JAMES WlTHYCOMP.H. It thus appears that Dr. Withycombe has actually been an American citizen since about 1872. He has been a continuous resident ofj Oregon for forty-three years. If any man is able to rise superior to his alien birth, ofj course Dr. Withycombe has done it. We hard I ly look for any further attempt to revive the petty, Know-Nothing prejudice sought to be excited against him eight years ago, during his. previous campaign; but if it shall be done, it will be in the face of the known truth. The people of Oregon have, of course, no doubt of the entile eligibility of men men born ; under foreign Hags to be Governor of In state. Oswald West, for example, was born in Ontario, Canada, in 1873, two years after .las. Withvcombe had settled in Oregon. TRAVKNLlNCi EQUIPMENT Solid Leather Suit Cases, and 24-inch, 7.50 to $10.00.
