LegUlatiye ticket in tbis county, yet : the Democrats are making a very bard fight forthe elec tion of one of their two candidates The idea in view, is tbe . aecuriag of enough votes under some sort of wheedling to defeat any one of the Re publicans. Voters should therefore re member ' tbat if their ' Democratic friends beg votes of them, it Is for tbe insidious purpose of defeating a Repub lican. They will tell yon there is "no politics in the Legislative ticket this year, as there is no Senator to elecC J But have you Republicans forgotten j that a question of the greatest political significance will come up in the Legis- ilatnre at its next session, and it will require a. rWO THIBDS vote in tbat body to carry itf , , M Tbe matter referred to is the amend ment to the Australian ballot law,' pro viding for grouping all candidates under their respective party headings, so a crow (x) placed opposite the name of the party and no scratches ap pearing, the voter would express intention -of voting the entire ticket that particular party. 1 ; ne of ! Failure to. have this amendment made to the law before has already cost the Republican party a great deaL Among tbe instances notable, it defeated Hew itt, the Republican nominee for eireiit judge. ; One argument held out - against this amendment was that men should be miffeiently capable, and highly enou b educated to be able to vote intelligent ly. But while this may be an abstract truism, it is only capable of a theorjet ioal application in point of fact. And "it is a condition tbat confronts us, not a theory." Men are not all able to unravel the sinuosities of the Aus tralian ballot, and justice demands that jit be so amended that justice taay be 1 done not only every political party, but every individual voter. ' 1 The Legislature passed this amend ment at ; the last regular session, 'and the Democratic Governor of Oregon vetoed it. It will be presented to the next Legislature for consideration, and to pass the law over the -Governor's veto will require, a two-thirds vote. The minority will vote against it, for ; the law as it now stands is in favor of the minority. Therefore it is necessary that the Republicans elect every candi date they have placed before the people on; the Legislative ticket. The loss of a single one may mean the loss of a two-thirds majority in the Legislature and therefore the failure to pass the bill over the Governor's veto. i. j Vote the wbole. ticket! .' .

Ith a eom- jlitnentary pre&i ticket or j sarais s&ion, but u poa presentatMjn at xlrts first gate was told that I, would have to sigis it and eonntersign it again" in seven dif ferent places and in thre languages, if I knew that many. After complying to the best-pf.my aWlity li gathered up the baggage whieh the lady bad been sheltering with her umbrella where I bad deposited" them temporarily in tbe mud, and we undertook to enter the first gate; there being four In., succes sion, but there I discovered that tbe la dy bad no ticket and the keeper eould not accept ber money, so another de posit of tbe baggage was necessary in order that a spCeial trip might be made' to the ticket offiee which t was some yards distant, and in order to reaeb which a wholly different variety of mud had 4o'b navigated. Having complied with -all these plans and specifications we made another start for the World's Fair .Grounds,'' but this effort waa but partially successful. The' lady succeed ed in shooting the chute, sd I under took to follow, only to be told by the keeper that, baying a press i ticket, I would bave . to enter by tbe adjoining gate. .- . . ' t . By this time, however, I bad passed half way through tbe narrow re vol v- ng eylinder, which was on end, and on aecount of tnree of tbe crips in , one tand refosing to recede, could not pro- eeed.either way.. Bat at thU partieu- tar juncturu, with a kindnesa for wbien I shall always feel profoundly grateful, several unemployed guides came to my assistance and took the baggage bodily over the gates. I then made a retro gressive movement and entered the sac red precincts through the proper chan nel, feeling all the indescribable thrill that is the portion of bim who baa fin ally triumphed over a formidable and relentless opposition. ' , J joined the Grange twenty-five years ago by initiation, and recall experienc ing something of the same feeling dur ing the. ceremony that overcame me af ter suceessfullr running . the gauntlet of the Entrance Gate to this Exposition Both our destinations being the;W ,s "Aside Inn' we rtarted in tbat ous direction, it being but a hundred yards distant, wading through the most vil . lainous mud found in the entire state of ! Missouri,-or elsewhere. There waa no es caping it any "more than if wo were walking in the middle of a country road in the Willamette valley in January. What few paths thaf "tiad f been impro vised, converged toward a bridge 'that had to be crossed, all around and on top of which, the mud waa four inches deep and of the same consistency as batter out of which cakes are made. If it bad been only two" degrees" thinner, it would have disappeared through the sheer op eration of the law of gravity. ,To remedy the, outrageously disagree able situation, the authorities bad haul ed all the brickbats and refuse cinder that could be found in the West; and made an artificial covering over the prepared paths, but the constant use and continued downpour of rain bad re duced these to liquid state, thus delib erately adding insult to injury. Even this would have been endurable it aay one path had been completed with eith er "'pulverized briek or the granulated' cinder, -but, as , if to represent the ef feefc of landscape gardening, that one Would te used for a few yards only to be ' superceded by the other, the next few yards having neither. The , effect was tbat just as soon as our shoes be came gorgeously bespangled with red, we were compelled to plunge - into a lake of black cinder, always emerging into the beautiful white mud which is tbe natural distinguishing color of tbe clay upon wbieh the grounds are locat ed. Having finally reached the broad azza of the "Inside Inn," I deposited tbe baggage (gladly) on tbe floor and upon trying the door found it locked! At, this point we began to very fluently express our opinion of the entire man agement of tbe Louisiana Purchase Ex position, Jefferson himself coming in for a share of the denunciation for ever buying the country, anyway, when a dark visaged man came to the door knd, opening it, invited us in. I asked him why he bad the door locked, when be replied that it was "after office hours," that probably we were looking for the f Inside Inn," tbat the build ing he had let us Into was the Indian Territory building, but that to eome on through and be would show us where to go. Ie was tbe very soul of kindness, adding that quite one half of the vis itors to tbe Fair ' made the same mis take. He was quite'used to itl I Another fifty yards of wading brought us to the hotel, a perfectly im mense, but temporary structure, with"" 2300 rooms and where at least 5000 peo ple are at this time staying. It covers eight; acres of ground and there are twenty-nine acres of flooring in it. The dining room seats 1000. guests at once, and there were . 7000 meals given yes terday. - But, it is decidedly easier to display aome enthusiasm over the acres the hotel covers and the number ; of guests it can seat at tbe table at once than it is indescribing the character of the meals or other accommodations. An yet, some allowance1 should s be made for the temporary nature of ev erything, for the convenience of not be ing eompellel?oCoAto",1t. Louis for meals and lodging' is worth counting.

This summer will be fully half gone be fore the grounds are completed and the exhibits are in place. And by that time it will be so hot that a visit .here will be robbedt of half its pleasure. ' j I put in three hours today sauntering around the grounds, first taking3 ft trol ley ride on the ''intramural-vline'. around them half way and walked-bcek.

On this intramural lioe yon paas many of the most beautiful bniM- incs. the conductors call out the names at the. little stations ar.d stops, but no one gets out because there is no' wav to gctto the building save by wallow- ing through mud of the most persistent-1 ly affectionate character, perhaps only to find that the building is closed an v- wy- ! I was "easy" enough to try t'u'n once pniy once. Alter leaving the j Administration building, I com Jn.led I ' would make a break and see something. I wanted to bave a run for ny money. I saw a most lctutiful building across the road with the -word ''Belgium" in scribed in golden letters high up to wards 'the" sky, with many kinds of elaborate paintings around its base, and I wanted to explore the inside ot it. But to reach it involved not only get ting across the muddy road but n walk .of fifty yards in front of it. which was pi-jno better than the road. I hesitated, J like s man who baa decided to take a 'cold bath, and plunged in. I triumphed over the mud by going through it and encountered a plot of grass for a change only to find tbat it had just . been de posited in huge squares of sods removed from some other clime, and that it was underlaid with water. My first tbouglW Was that it was a miniature floating! islands merely a work of art. I finally reached the entrance of the building, however, where an officer was stationed supposedly, to welcome visitors, but he at once informed me that no one was admitted and would not be for! two weeks. ( A peep inside disclosed j ship loads of huge boxes of exhibits piled ten and' twenty feet deep, which it ap peared hundreds! of men could not prop erly place in position for months v And many others, indeed, most of . the other; buildings are closed. Those that are not, ought to be.'

There serha to l an erroneous' iiu prenmun on the rt of the general pub lie' as to tbe sn-ealled local pjdlon law wbicb eomesj up for a vote, at the Jnne election. This j local option law is t - really a radical prohibition meamiire. With-aj viW of placing . the matter rightly lefore the public, we dsire briefly to state our objections ;.'to";jthe law. i - . -': In the first place it i glaringly un fair. For instance, it , provides that if a majority of the people in any conuty vote againxt the issuance of liquor! licenses, no license can le obtained any where in that count v, no matter if option means local choice. 3s there ' j much choice; where every vot in a ' .precinct may be. in favor "of. ft license J aud Mill Uu ukc cannot 1k oltaihelf The Prohibitionists they are not local optionists -laim that a majority should rule. If the vote of the majority of the people ijr any precinct "for prohi bition " prevents tbe obtaining of a' ' ther then would it not be fair that a majority Vote cast in that pre- cinct "acainst prohibition'" should allow tbe issuance of licenses, it wOuld not in the instances wt forth above! j The adoption of local option Multnomah county' would result follows: in as I j The city and county woidd A140;000 revenue every year. lose the One-quarter of the buildiugv in business district would be vacant. About 4000 men would be. thrown out of employment. The expenses of maintaining the city government (would be as much, and there would not be enough revenue to pay it. !' Taxes would be so high that no one could afford! to own projer ty. ' The Prohibitionists bave recently gotten out a pamphlet in wbicb they make the following statement: The adoption of the proposed local option law, it is estimated, will throw out of empioyment in Oregon about 15,000 men,' bt the immense sum of money now! expended for intoxicating liquor which would go into the pur chase of household goods and per sonal supplies would bring into employ ment to meet the increased demand t less than 125,000 men. We, think' the state of Oregon can scarcely afford to. adopt a law which its own advocates admit will start out by throwing 15,000 men out of employ ment. The statement that it would later result in the . employment of a larger number of men is ridiculous and is disproved by the unprogressive rcV- ora or every town or state which has adopted prohibitory laws. f If the proposed law were really local option tbe legitimate liquor interests would oppose it. They have never op posed any reasonable legislation, .but as a matter of fact roeal option law is merely an attempt of the Prohibition ists to obtain under the deceitful name of "local option" something which they have no chance on earth of obtain ing if they were to J1 J.t. by its sight name, "Prohibition."
