Patterson, at this time, is absolutely a winner. He is by
far the best selection the Republicans could have made.

The glorious time of the year, vacation time. The high

Richard Yates, Illinois, in the House: There is a pass
age somewhere in the Book of Job that reads substantialy
as follows: “He paweth in the valley. He snorteth, and
the sound of his porting is terrible. He paweth up the

from afar, and saith, Aha! Aha!”

We are glad that the majority of Oregon voters saw
fit to nominate I. L. Patterson for governor of our state.
Patterson is the best man, the safest man and the surest
man the Republicans could have mentioned. Perfectly
reliable, an Oregonian ,a farmer, a business man, an
honest, conservative constructive and conscientious man.

The Eagle is very well satisfied with the result of the
recent primary election in Oregon. 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.

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. In the recent primary

Come in and see us
HEY march with stately tread, these heroes of the
half-forgotten wars. 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! Soldiers,
salutamus!—Chicago Tribune .

PATTERSON ISSUES STATEMENT
L. 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.
