1t looks as though Dolph will
not have a walkover to a reelection
after all. There are several Other
martyrs in the stale Of Oregon who

didates in tie field WORKING in

The adjustment of the Australian
ballot law in Oregon is being adj
vocated by some few of the state
papers, claiming that this system
is slow and cumbersome. These
objections, in our way Of thinking
are among the redeeming features
Of the law. The old way was too
easily done, and any piece of work
quickly and easily done is us
ually considered one of little i'm
portance. The American people

Importance to the ballot. Ten
minutes spent by each voter in
his ballot is that much
time loaned to the nations good
aud will pay big interest to both
borrower and lender. The votcl
who bemoans the loss of ten min
utes spent in preparing his ballot
ought not to be allowed the right
