POLITICAL FROSTblIES'
[BYA BYsTANDER.
1t is Mckinley against the allied
bosses.
Called back-the Democratic county
convention.
1t is the people of Oregon against
the $500, 600 Portland boss.
It's whispered that Hon. Warren
Truitt. of Alaska, is most likely 10 DC
the next congressman from oregon!

The ssOO,OOO Portland boss is
stockholder in at least two OF Tue
national bank candidates for congress-
.#s
The Salem board of immigration
will be a good thing. So will the sec
retaryship, if there is salary attacn
ed.
The Oregon congressmanship Is noC
worth anything, except for the mile
age in railroad passes. There's a
fortune in that.
#*s
Salem ought to have board OF i'm
migration, by all means. A salarled
secretary would be good thing, TOO,
If the immigrants will pay the salary
-.
The politicians in the Republican
party who both blindly and seltishly
ignore the cause of the common peo-
pie will reap the harvest they deserve
mud
Snow under the Portland ring can
didates for legislative offices In the
Republican county convention, and
save the people dsagreeable JOB
afterwards.

Albany Democrat: The Republi-
cans will have big contest In this
city over the selection of delegates, to
the state convention. 1t will be
Herman VS.. Ford.

Before Harry Miller left town Mon
day night he was walking with the
proud step of turkey cock His eye
snapped. He had so votes for con-
gresham in sight. He went away
happy.
1t is generally conceded that JAP
Mimic won the hardest fought battle
in the county convention, against the
strongest machine combinations, and
that he won by clean methods, and
without abandoning his friends.

. The Bystander will bet hot cookie
that the fellow kicking at the Repub'
, lican ticket in the Statesman, signed
Republican" is an Office holder and
/. Jo. Simon's cuckoo. Come out where
we can see your face, old boy.
In Eastern Oregon it is the bankers
and ring politicians against Ellis
The people regardless of party shoulC
unite against the Portland gang
They want old man Caples, or any
man they can handle-but not Ellis
&~~
New York Mall and Express, rep,
on Platt's conventions: 1.-THE sober
truth might as well be told, This Is
J not convention of the people, nor 1
of a party, nor even of the politicians
but rather OF a factlonal machine
, dominated and directed by one man
, -
Channcey NJ. Depew, Thomas G
Platt, Edward Lauterbach and War
ner Miller are the big four who will
present Levi p. Morton's name to tn,
national convention. There is on
man of character among them
Miller.
.
That's a sharp trick Of Harr
Miller's, keeping the names OF hi
, congressional delegates out of print
What business have the people O
this district TO know who their dele
gates are, so long as they are 70
MillerY Isn't that enough!

The Albany Democrat says, doubt
fully; There is every reason I
7 believe the Democratic convention
. next Friday will be harmonious al
J fair, There is an excellent feelin
now among the candidates with onl
open, fair work being done.
