A Wise Nomination.

MIR Newton, of Philomath, Is
declared the nominee of this con-
venlion for the Office of assessor
OF BENTON county," So said Chair
man Edwards of the Benton coun-
ty republican convention.
There is usually some good rea
son jor 4 man being nominated for
office by party. And it is not
giving away any political secrets
10 say Mr.. Newton was nominated
because 1T was thought he would
make a strong canvass, hold his
party vote, secure votes from the
opposition and be elected.
Mr.. Elvin New ton will make a
just and proper assessment within
the time prescribed by law. He
will make up the rolls correctly
and with all possible dispatch and
economy. He is acquainted with
the value ot property in the coun-
ty and will depend as assessor up
on intelligent observation and
business judgment-not upon
guess work.

that many of our presidents were

The men in the country wanted
him TO run and the men in town

he was nominated. That's all
there was of it. And when it
comes to the election. the men in
the country will say, 1--WE want

"amen." And that is how he will
be elected. Simple enough when

Monroe Ratifes.

The republican campaign opened
at Monroe Tuesday evening with
Hon. M. S. johnson as the princi-
pal speaker. There was a large
crowd present and the enthusiasm
was very much in evidence.
Mr.. johnson presented the
money question i'll a clear and
entertaining manner, showed
wherein the democratic party had
always upheld the gold standard
and that the teachings Of jefferson,
jackson and other democratic
leaders was against tho theory of
free silver. HIS address was we'll
received and had a good effect.
Mr.. John Daily made short
speech in which he stated that he
was Il sound money man and if
elected to the legislature he
would support for U. S. senator
gold standard man.
Mr.. Elmo Davis also made
few remarks, assuring the people
that if elected representative he
would vote first, last and all the
time for a single gold standard
man for senator.
r. j. Nichols, republican repre-
sentative, was called upon and
good naturedly referred to the
nick name conferred upon him
several years ago, "Gold-standard
Dick" He pledged himself, il
elected, TO use his best efforts to
secure economical and just legis-
ton as is desired by the people of
Benton county.
School Superintendent George
Denman, i'll response to the de-
-mand for speech, talked inter
estingly on educational matters,
eschewing politics. as his is not a
political office. Several republi-
can candidates were in attendance
and all feel elated over their re-
ception by the people of Monroe.
Mr.. johnson spoke at Als~a
Wednesday and Philomath yester-
day, but too late for any reports.
Tonight he speaks at Kings Valley
and tomorrow night at Wells.
