Before the registration is closed for the general state elec
tion, notices are up to register for the city election, "
What a farce and a fraud the registration system in Oregon
is, anywayl
No one should pay any further attention to it, and all should
demand the right to vote on their former registration this
year,
The present registration law was the last precious gift to
the people from a legislature run by the Machine.
That was fifteen years ago, but the machine Is just as ig
norant today as it was then, or it would repeal such laws, '

REV. WILSON IS HARD UP.
Rev, Clarence True Wilson was advertised at Heppner as
having a joint debate with Col, Hofer to help him get a house,
At Pendleton the same thing was done, and . shows th?
waning influence of the Prohibition leader in his campaign.
The last joint debate that Col. Hofer engaged in with that
gentleman was at Ashland and that was two months ago,
The editor of this paper went out with Dr, Wilson as a cour
tesy to him, when he was not able to get crowds to hear him.
Now, on the strength of that, Dr, Wilson is advertising con
tinuously, or beinp; advertised, as having more joint debates,
As a result of his campaigning in Oregon Dr, Wilson has got
a position on a big salary in Chicago for his church.
We do not begrudge him, but wish he would not allow any
more use of a good man's name to boost a falling cause,

GREAT AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEET j
INC TESTIHE8 TO HIS VUVV
LA HIT V IN THE row COCXTIES
AMI AMONG THE MINERS.
Take the workingman, and what interest has ho In the
election that is going to be held?
. He labors on the street, in the sawmill, or drives a team,
or pushes a smoothing plane.
He is shut out from voting unless he registers; he is put to
great trouble to vote, and what for?
He gets nothing but grafts, officials, taxes, trusts and an
aristocracy of wealth eats him alive.
Half the laborers are disfranchised in one-way and another
and the legislature turns down labor bills,
The so-called labor leaders sell their influence and enact
new complications in the way of laws.
Manhood suffrage and manhood laws are farther and farth
er removed by the complicated systems invented by the bosses,
How many laboring men can understand the thirty-one J
measures that are put up to them to vote for this year
Are they not mostly measures invented by the predatory
class who want more power to use for the spoliation of labor
ers, When you telll the truth, is not government a big graft?
o ,
ERROR OF THE LABOR PRESS.
1
The Portland Labor Press is supporting only the Demo
cratic candidates for Governor and State Printer,
This is a strange attitude for ii newspaper to take that is
supposed to represent laboring men of all parties.
This will react against the cause of labor when it comes
beforo tho next legislature with" labor bills, "
- A Republican governor and a Republican state printer will
be elected and the legislature will be Republican.
Then what position will this labor newspaper be In to
champion measures for the benefit of laboring men?
Some newspapers undertake to shapo up the affairs of the
Republican parly, and the rest of the parties.
In tjto elf oil to carry out selfish policies in the interest of a
certain combination they abandon principles and endanger
policies that aio of tho hip.hesi importance,
This mistaken policy of tho Labor Press should be repu
diated by honest labor organizations,
o 1
THE KIND THAT GO TO THE WALL.
Who are tho business men that go to tho wall, nine times
out of ten?
Are they not the kind that think they can get along without
newspaper advertising? :: f I
Ask one of that kind if ho takes the homo paper, or if ho
advertises at Salem? n
Ho will tell you that he takes a Portland paper, and adver
tises oh the fences.
Ho will try forty different ways of advertising, except the
newspapers of the town,
All the time he is running behind and wondering why he is
not building up a trade.
The busy, busy world is forgetting a'l about him, and is pat
ronising others.
He squanders his money on all kinds of advertising fakes
and gets no results.
He lets the faker woik him and write his ads for him, and
plays a losing game,
Then tho business is sold out, and he is not even referred to
as noinq out of business,
Tho fact is there was no business to go out of.
Baker, Or., Oct. 12 .Acting Gov
ernor Bowerman addressed a large
and enthusiastic meeting at the Bak
er theater this evening, and, in the
opinion of the majority of those pres
ent, won many votes. The meeting
was presided over by Representative
McKlnney, and a number of short ad
dresses were made by other speakers,
Including George Cochran, of . La
Grande, candidate for water commis
sioner.
Mr. Bowerman was given a great
ovation when he was Introduced, and
in the beginning of his remarks paid
a tribute to Senator Hart and ex-Senator
Rand, of this city. His speech
was mainly on the supporting of par
ty pledges In the past by himself and
associates, and ho was frequently In
terrupted by applause. He said In
part:
"I am not here either as an assem
bly or anti-assembly candidate, but
simply as the cholco of the Republi
can primaries, and have no pledges
other than those which I have sup
ported In the past and those which I
will heartily support In the future, if
I am chosen governor at the polls In
November, I stand for direct primary
and all laws put In operation by the
people, whose Interests I have always
served, and will so continue."
Mr. Bowerman gave Senator
Bourne a thrust, saying emphatically
that the senator was Ignorant of the
needs of the peoplo, and that candi
dates recommended by him were
merely nanicd by the senator because
they were those who would do his
blddlnit If elected to offlce. He also
said that the aim of some of the sen
ator's ofnce-holders at the present
time waa to further his Interests and
to the detriment of their duties In a
public capacity.
"I promise that If 1 at.y elected
governor that in one item alone I will
save the taxpayer $50,000 a year,
and that It In the purchase of supplies
for the state Institutions. When I
was called upon to assume the duties
of the governor's offlce the djscrepan
cles In this matter were badly believ
able. ' .
gome of the public institutions
were getting their supplies for just
one-half what some of the others
were paying, and, being of an Inquis
itive turn of ml-d, I have found the
loaks and remedied the condition. I
promise that if elected I will" still
further save the taxpayers In these
matters."
Mr. Bowerman appealed to the peo-
nle stronaly on the ground that In;
case or his dereai eastern uregon
would be without representation In
the state, all other candidates being
from coast points or west of the
mountains.
Stormy weather did mn keop the
people away from the mooting. The
acting governor arrived In the city
at noon today, and was buy all day
meeting local politicians and promi
nent Republicans. He Is eunortng
from a severe cold and a hoarseness
as the result of continued Hpeaklng,
but nevertheless made hlmttelf clear
ly understood, and at the condition
of his speech was accorded a great
ovation.
Every Citizen Should Go to the
Polls Let It Be a "People's
Election" Capital Journal
Will Take a "Straw Ballot"
and Publish Results.
City primaries Saturday after
noon, November 5.
City election Monday, December 5.
Tlte officers to be elected are:
mayor, recorder, marshal and treas
unr, and one alderman from each
of the seven wards.
It la claimed that a special regis
tration of voters will have to be
made for this election, and no one
can vote at the primary who doe
not register again.
This Is denied by some who claim
that tho general registration for
each of the seven wards now com
pleted at the city hall should be tak
en and that seems reasonable!
Any other construction means
that the professional politicians and
the official elements alone wll take
iart and the citizens, and taxpayers
will not be forced to register over
again to vote, at the city election.
The city council can by resolution
declare the general registration In
the wards as legal and sufficient and
allow nil who have not done so to
register.
Common sense and economy dic
tate that the registration shall be
taken as already made and not yet
completed for the general election
and not compel all the people In the
seven wards to dd over again what
they have Just done.
The Retiring OITIclnl".
Officials whose terms expire at the
end of the year are Mayor Rodgers,
City Recorder Moores, City Marshal
Gibson, City Treasurer Crossan, Al
derman Johnson in the first ward,
Lachmund In the second ward, Stolz
In the third ward, Sauter in the
fourth ward, Hill In the fifth ward,
Greenbaum In the sixth ward, Car
sonin the seventh ward. It is un
derstood that Marshal Gibson will
not be a candidate for re-election,
ii nil that Aldermen Stolz and Carson
-vlll rot be up for re-election. Mr.
fitolz ueBlres to give more time to
his own business and Mr. Carscfo
expects to be elected to the state
senate.
Candidates for City Marshal.
There are already two candidates
In the field for the office of city
marshal and chief of police Ira
Hamilton and Walter W. Johnson.
The former Js constable of Salem
district and the latter Is a guard Ht
the state penitentiary. There will
be a very spirited contest for this
place.
Arouse Public Interest.
There Is talk of organizing e
municipal league for the purpose of
arousing Interest In the. city cam
paign, and get the people to express
themselves. With small registration
only a few voting, the selection of
candidates Is not left to the people
but cunning manipulators try to
have but one cand'date come out for
each office and have a dozen votes In
each ward determine who city offi
cials are to be? To contribute to
the general Interest The Capital
Journal will take a straw ballot and
asks citizens to fill out the enclosed
ballot and send It In to The Journal
office where the votes will be pub
lished from day to day and the total
counted a few days before the pri
mary to show what Interest the peo
ple really take In the matter. Fill
out the ballot below and send It '.n
to this office. The b"aJlot,wHl be se
cret and merely for the purpose of
helping to bring out an expression
of Interest on the part of the people.
