The election Of United States sena-
tor is the vital issue now before the
people of Oregon. 1t IL an issue that is
going to try the integrity and character
OF representatives as with fire. 1t is an
issue that will divide the people Of Or.

the other camp will be found the IN.

THE JOURNAL will say plainly that
the very worst boodlers and the most

freely used. Threats TO take away ap-
proprations are made hourly. TO the
men from Lane county, 10 the men
from Linn, the men from Benton, and
other good men. But the Dolph strik-
ers forget that the anti. Dolph men are
