Ia. Finch has resigned his position
az reporter on the Herald, his law prac-

One OF the most interesting contests
going on is that b'tweenl Judge ]. N.
Duncan and A. NJ. Cannon for the dele
CATION for district attorney. The man
who gets Il stands good chance OF re-
ceiving the nominasion at the hands OF
the state convention. At the present
time it looks sif Mr.. -

The following "alleged" transaction
appeared in yesterdays Guard; Lewis
Wagner TO J. ]. Pepiot and Geo. A. Dor
ris, one-hali interest in the Blue River
mining district, 81. What cheap min.
ing section Blue River must hs II half
the district can thus be disposed OF for
81 $l.00,-Register. How easy 1t is to see
mistakes in others.
Figures are very interesting things in
a campaign particularly just before .
county convention. For instance on the
district attorney contest It 10 easily
figured that Cannon has about 40 to s in
his favor, in the four cit. precincts with
a big lead in the county so far as heard,
while on the other side II is figured that
in the four precincts Duncan has exact
ly 33 to Is while in the country out Of

The champion liar lives at Cottage
Grove, where he has paper. In order
to create prejudice he stated that Bryan
only charged the good people Of Eugene
5000 to speak there, whereas he charged
nothing there nor anywhere else. The
$220 is the amount it costs Eugene men
TO pay for tram and other expenses.
We simply refer 10 thia as sample OF
the unfair methods OF some papers dur
ing campaign.

Governor Geer was asked to ride in
carriage to the.Bryan speaking. It gave
him an opportunity to. answer and he
took advantage Of it to let the people
know that he was just one Of the COM
mon people and would walk. He will
have to get up mighty early to be any
more OF the common people than Mr..
Bryan. Gov. GFer rides whenever il is
9 big republican blow ont, Just like the
president, Secretary Gage or j. Pierpont
Morgan. Circ cimstances alter cases.
A Lebanon man tells the following for
q fact, which may be told now, as the

and remarked: "Guess I'll take that
home to my wife and let her see what
banana looks like. She never seed one"
And the man had an income Of several
thousand dollars yeaf.
