its rcpubllcanism b. impressed upon

part Of the world that takes an inter
est In such matters Republicans are
making no brass band display, but
thel,, Is quiet determination 10 make
the coming city election count. II Is
important that the rest Of the state be
impressed with the fact that Astoria
contributes largely 10 ths republican
maJoriuys In Oregon, and as such con-
trlbutor has political claims. We have
important commercial measures to
press. We have citizens who should
be considered in the distribution Of po-
liucal honors, Elecuon day is ap-
puachlng and every hour the import
auce ct making the election a decided
republican victory mpressas itself
upon republican voters.
