He snorteth, and the sound of his porting is terrible. He paweth up the young grass, and amid the trumpets he sniffeth the battle from afar, and saith, Aha! Aha!” -------- o-------- We are glad that the majority of Oregon voters saw fit to nominate I. L. Patterson for governor of our state.

We advocated the nominations of the men we sincerely thought were the best fit for the respective offices. We knew the candi­ dates, where they came from, what they stood for and their everyday life. We did not recommed a candidate whom we did not think was capable in every respect. Wt disagreed in some cases with Oregon’s big daily papers and with many politicians. But we were right m i.ur own mind, and are perfectly willing and anxious to abide by the result of the vote cast. We believe in the rule of the majority. The winners in the primary are good men, they are our men. our candidates. -------- o-------- - Political forcasts and prediction should not be made on guess work alone. Politics is a study. A citizen that makes a life work of watching elections and he who is interested in each campaign has a better understanding and a bet­ ter excuse for making pre-election predictions. He has some grounds for his opinions. He works out the results in his mind from the issues of the various candidates.from the calibre of the men whom he studies and from the plat­ forms and planks his candidates stand for. A candidate’s campaign and the mode of advertising by that candidate and nis friends have a whole lot to do with the success ol the man. Issues must be studied.

It contains the usual collection of blasphemy, smut, villification of all things American, cubist art, poetry without rhyme or reason and appeals for contributions which go to make up a radical magazine.

The younger ones, with caps atilt, achieve a certain jauntiness, but just beneath the surface of the eyes of each of them lie gruesome, hid­ eous pictures, graven there in Belleau Wood, at St. Mi- hiel, or somewhere else in France. The portly business men, with graying hair and growing paunches, can these be those same slender youths who fared forth in ’98, to fight with Aguinaldo? And last, the ancients, lame, halt and blind, who fought to save the Union, half a century and more ago. The load of years has taken of victory flares forth in age-dimmed eyes. Salutamus!

PATTERSON, Republican nominee for governor) e issued the following statement: Returns indicate that my nomination is assured. The people of Oregon are intensely loyal to their state and sincerely interested in its advancement. Having this in mind at the beginning of the campaign and feeling that I can be of service to the state, I presented to the vo­ ters a definite program for improvement in the state’s government. During the campaign I tried not to lose sight of the main issue—the state’s business—and at no time did I try to confuse the voters or impose upon his creduli­ ty. The result has proven the wisdom of a concrete pro­ gram and an absoluely frank and fearless discussion of that program. My opponents, Mr. Upton and Mr. Carter, are estimable gentlemen and personal friends of mine, whom I hold in the highest esteem, and their campaigns were character­ ized by fairness. 1 have never seen a cleaner and fairer gubernatorial campaign conducted. In fact, it seems to me that we face the confng campaign with a united party and with every assurance of success in November. The credit for my suc­ cess in the campaign belongs to those loyal workers in every part of the seate who worked unceasingly and untir ingly for my nomination. The press of the state was generous to me. For all this support. I am sincerely grateful and take this opportuniey to express my heartfelt gratitude. My one ambition is to be worthy of the confidence ex­ pressed. I S tar 4 F acts win you! TRAIGHT, strong fa sta cannot be put aside!
