T he Coos County Man is Candidate for Governor at Primary Election, L atest î —0— In announcing myself as a candidate for nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket at the primary elec­ tion to be held cn May 17, 1918, I de­ sire to appeal tc the voters of Oregon as individuals, who, as such, are will qualified to judge the issues of the day ' and w ho w ill vole as their judgment shall direct. I 1 am a Republican and believe in the i principles of the Republican party, I and above everything I am an Amer­ ican and believe in the principals of my country. I am not a member of, nor affiliated wit',:, any particular fac­ tion or part of tile Republican parly; nor am I pledged to support any of the candidates for office at the com- ■ ing primary election. I pledge the people of Oregon, that, in contacting iny campaign 1 will not support any ’ particular candidate for office in pref­ erence to the other candidate for the same office; that 1 will r.ot promise appointment to office 01 politic il pat­ ronage to anyone; that if nominated and elected 1 shall enter office with , neither premise 11 < r pledge to redeem, ' except those which 1 give to the peo­ ple them-elves; reserving the right to make such appointments and to con­ duct the office with whatever unpre­ judiced independence the best inter­ ests of the people of Oregon and the development, peace and welfare of the State shall demand.

W ool of the north is free, but Angora goat's hair of I exas is dutiable. The only textiles now ad­ mitted free arc those used for bagging by the cotton planter and the cotton­ seed oil maker ot the south. (. e tain metal strips are duitable, but when cut in lengths, painted and fitted with buckles for bailing southern cotton, they are free. Here is a list of important agricul- tural products transferred to the free list by the Underwood law; Cattle, sheep, wool, beef, mutton, corn, eggs, milk, cream, potatoes and wheat. The duties on the following were greatly reduced; Horses, poultry, oats, hay, cheese and butter. I’hc Northern farmer is thus colu­ pelted to sell his products to a f rec­ trade market, and buy his machinery and other supplies in a Protec’ed mar- fa i Rut it may be urged that the far­ mers arc now getting good prices for their products. This is true, but it is the war that does it. When the war is over, the full effect of the competi­ tion of the cheap lands, the cheap la­ bor and the cheap transportation of other countries, will be felt by our farmers. i si,.,n encourage and support such legislation as may be-necessary lor the establishment of nation-wide pro­ hibition and the permanent adoption of equal suffrage in the slate and na­ tion. 1 shall endeavor at all limes to create and stimulate that patriotic co-ope ration between employer and employee rendered so necessary by the strenuous conditions ot war and so essential to the progress and ad­ vancement of the State. 1 shall aid and assist in every way, commensurate with due and prop« r economy, the educational ste m and institutions of the state and ill et cry possible manner increase their ciii- ciency. With a knowledge of appreciation of the enormous natural resources ot Uregon 1 snail endeavor to promote resources development ot those through establishment of new indus- tries and by encouraging settlers and urging sucii legislation as will tend to make living conditions better for mein and lor the thousands of work­ ers and laborers throughout the stale. In administering the office of the State's highest executive 1 shall con­ sistently endeavor to give tc Ongon an impartial, clean, economical and businesslike administration, an ad­ ministration, which, will have as its ideal, the greatest possible advance­ ment of the moral, social and econom­ ic prosperity ot its tremendous re­ sources keep Oregon at the top in the vast fabric of our national life. This Ought to Scare Us ? Colonel John Leader, cammandant of the State University Battalion and head of the department of military science, makes some sensational state­ ments when he pridicts Germans now in South America and Mexico will in­ vade the Northwest before the year is out. He argues: “From a military standpoint, such an invasion would be comparatively simple. A large body of Huns to the south would board tramp steamers, not in a body, but by degrees, meet somewhere in the Pacific, and from there move against the coast. Landing at various points along the Oregon and Washington Coast, they could move inland »gains. the defenseless country entirely free of organized op­ position. Simultaneously with the in­ vasion, German agents within the northwest states could completely isolate the section from the rest of the country by destroying railroad bridges and blasting tunnels. Colonel Leader predicts that the people of the Northwest will hear the boom of Ger­ man guns and the dies cf ravaged woman" before the year is out.” ft is true that the war has brought many surprises, but this, if it should prove true, will be something that the northwest did not anticipate. The colonel gives his reasons for this: "Before coming to this country I was connected with the British intel­ ligence bureau. While in this service 1 secu.ed information to the effect that the German nation now has al­ most three quarters oí a million men, fully equipped and tr: incd for service m South America and Mexico. These troops have been there since the be­ ginning of the war, and are planing to invade the Pacific ports far the pur­ pose of causing the American troops to be withdrawn from Europe.” We hope and think Colonel Leader is mistaken about hearing the "boom of German guns and the cries of rav­ aged women before the war is out," but it makes a good argument in favor of the government building a military highway on the Pacific Coast. There is one thing that Colonel Leader seems to have overlooked. It takes thousands of vessels to trans­ port 750,000 men, and w ith all German vessels bottled up and only a few small neutral countries not involved in the war, we would like to ask Col­ onel Leader where are the ’ vessels that are to transport these men i to the Pacific Coast? Madison, Mis., Feb. 25------A loyalty resolution including an amendment condoning Senator LaFollette for his attitute toward the war was adopted by the State Senate Tate tonight by a voc of 20 to 3. 1 he resolution now go to the lower house. Critics of the W isconsin Seni’.t attacking his attitude, read into the record La Follette's St. Paul spech and editorials printed in his magazine. Th. resolution, which is an amend­ ment to tiie loyalty resolution of the Republican Club, is as follows: "The people of Wisconsin always have stood and always will stand squarely behind the present war to a successful end. We condemn Sei ¡tor Robert M. La Follette and all other: who have failed to see the righteous­ ness of our Nation’s cause and have failed to upport our Government :n mailers vital to the winning of the war. And we denounce any attitude or utterance of theirs which has tended to incite sedition among the people of our country and to injure Wisconsin's lair name before the free peoples of the earth.” PATRONS FROM NEAR AND FAR XI' tiofH m»t have to live in, or even near Till,i monk in order to make use of the splendid facili ties ¡n;d progress services of The First National Bank.

American ingenuity is again rising to its appointed task. It has undertak­ en to supply for all American needs all the dyestuffs which our manufac­ turers will require. To do this, how­ ever, means the expenditure of a great deal of new capital for the erection of plants and their equipment. So long as the war continues and a British fleet shuts out from our shores the German dyes, these new American dye plants will be able to live com­ fortably. But when the war ends the German producers who have made dyes their special product will again be able to undersell the American out put unless the latter receive a decent amount of protection. There is vir­ tually no secret about this industry which is not now' in our possession. It is only a question of whether cap­ ital will risk this new venture without the assurance of lair play, according to American protective standards. Our country has the capacity to make dyes enough for the whole world, cer­ tainly enough for our own use. A spirit of broad ami helpful statesman­ ship at Washington would see to it that this expanding industry will get a Tariff law that "ill enable it to go on expanding, far or no war. Canada Needs Railroaders. ------ o------ Upon the efficiency of the railroads behind the line of the Allied Armies in Fiance, depends not only the lives of the men going “over the top" but the final outcome of the great con­ flict which is about to be staged on the W estern front. To play her full part, Canada has lately increased her army on the fir­ ing line, and this has necessitated in­ creased railroad operations. Information has been received at the British and Canadian Recruiting office, Third an 1 Oak Street, Port­ land, that an additional Canadian Railroad Construction Corps is to be raised and sent to France immediat-| ely, and an appeal is made to all British and Canadian subjects with railroad experience to offer them­ selves tor this branch of the service immediately. Special rates of pay are offered to men with experience as Blockmen, Shunters, Firemen, Fitters, Drivers, 'Tubers and Blacksmiths, but men with practically any kind of railroad experience will be accepted for this branch of the service. The Canadian rate of pay is $1.10 a day, and dependents of marri.'d men receive a separate allowance of $25 per month, besides an allowance, where needed, from the British Ore­ gon Patriotic fund. Do not be draf'ed, but enlist im­ mediately in the branch of the service you prefer to serve in. tcncc of the nation itself, the first solemn obligation of every man, wo­ man and child is to the land of their birth or adoption. Faithful to that ob­ ligation Oregon is proud of its con­ tribution in men, money, food, lumber and ships. The entire wealth and all of the resources of the State have been placed at the disposal
