county is concerned ; in fact, if it was
p issilde, the H eadlight would like to
see everv voter cast his vote for Her-
in.inti on the understanding that it was
to show how strong the sentiment was
in Tillamook for an appropriation for
harbor improvements. The H eadlight
has for several years strongly advocatefl
harbor improyments for Tillamook, and
there is every prospect of securing them
in the near future, but let us sound this
word of warning to everv thoughtful
voter who has Tillamook’s interest at
heart, it will jeopardize the prospects of
getting an appropriation if Tillamook
people vote against the party they are
going to ask this favor from. The size
of Hermann’s vote in Tillamook will
probably have something to do with the
size of the appropriation the republican
administration will sanction. If the
people want to remain bottled up in
Tillamook county, then they should
vote, not for the republican candidate,
but for either of the other nominees. As
the H eadlight has so often publicly as
serted there is only one issue in Tilla
mook and that is harbor improvements.
Are you going to vote for or against it ?
The interview of Mr. F. L. Gunn, of
Nehalem, in the Evening Telegram, and
