CHARLES s. MOORE.

The republican state convention
held at Astoria on April IA, recognized
in Charles S. Moore, of Klamath
county, one of Oregons most pros
perou- and honored native sons, and
conferred upon him deserved honor
by nominating him for the office of
State treasurer, as reward for his
natural worth and service to the prin-
ciples of the republican party.
Mr.. Moore was born in Marion
county, Oregon. in 1857, and at the age
of II moved to klamath county, where
he engaged in the general merchsL-
disc business, which he has success
fully pursued ever since. During his
residence in that county, he has be,
one of its foremo.t citizens, havir e
been prominent in all public affairs,
and took an active part in the forma-
tion of the county when it was estab-
lished. His advice has ever b en-
sought in matters pertaining to the up
building and development of the Sec
tion in which he has made his home.
Mr.. Moore has been life long repub-
lican and took keen interest In the
welfare of the party even before he be-
came voter For twelve years he
has been chairman of the republican
central committee of Klamath c6un-
ty, also member of the state central
committee. and has displayed mucn
tact in conducting campaigns in that
county. He has been delegate to
every republican stete convention ex-
cept one for the past twelve years, and
was delegate TO the national conven-
tion in 1896 Two years ago Mr..
Moore was elected county judge of
Klamath county, which position he
has filled creditably and acceptably
to the people of that county. If elected
to the Office of state treasurer he will
pursue the same policy that has con-
trolled his actions in discharging
other public trusts, and will prove an
obliging and efficient officer.

MALCOLM A. MOODY.

The nomination of Hon. M. A. Moody
as republican candidate for congress has
been a source of qualification to this
community, not only on account of the
honor done us, but because we know the
man, and know that in his election,
which is practically assured, our state
and district will have a faithful and eff
ficient representative.
In these times of menace to the pub
lie honor and credit, it is absolutely
necessary that those who are selected to
protect and guard them be men whose
records are so well defined as to guaran-
tee their action in such a crisis.
Mr. Moody is man of unfagging in
dustry, of tireless perseverance and OF
such uncompromising integrity that he
never sacrifices principle for personal
preferment, as was proved by his re-
fusal, two years ago, to accept the nOmi-
nation which he now has, when he de-
clined the congressional nomination
rather than equivOcate on the money
question. He has never followed the
vagaries of public opinion, nor striven
to build up for himself personal fol-
lowing outside his party's lines, but al
ways has been and will be heart and
soul for Sound Money and the advance
ment of commerce. These qualities ex-
ercised in Washington for the benefi. of
our state will be of inestimable value.
A long residence in Eastern Oregon, and
wide knowledge of its needs and re-
sources, render Mr.. Moody highly
available candidate, and we prophesy
that his majority in June will indicate
that this opinion is general throughout
the district.
In the article written by Lucy Will
son Peters, the name printed Annie
Puck should appear Annie Luck; also
Dell Hinderman should be Dell Lin

Stons shouldbe Eden StOrrs.
