Say, you voters out in the country.
who do not belong to the republican
party. look here-.tell us how you like
the way the democrats and so-called
citizens" treated you in selecting their
hop-scotch ticket? Was there a single
precinct consulted outside of Astoria? ?
Was a single precinct outside Of As
torla (or inside either. for that mat
teri represented in the so-called ''eiti-
zens" convention by regularly chosen
delegates? Did you have any warning
OF what was going to be done? Is 1t
not fact that few people. only IS
all told. were gathered up or the
streets OF Astoria one afternoon and
that they made up a so-called "citl-
zens" ticket without ever consulting
the country voters or trying to find out
who the voters at large wanted as
nominees? Just think these questions
over and answer them to yourselves
when the hop-scotchers ask for your
votes. II is any wonder the law re-
fused to recognize such convention
as a citizens" convention? Is it any
wonder that a ticket nominated in
such a hap-hazard manner was refus-
ed by the law place on the ballot or
even name? Are you a law abid-
ing citizen? If you are. why should
you lend your support to a hap-haz-
ard, nameless. partyless, platformless
conglomeration of nominees when the
law has declared their nominations H.
legal? Investigate for yourselves
Don't take the worst of 1t and don't
be fooled. The hop-scotchers do not
represent the out of town or in town
voters and have no right to your sup
port.
They call us hop-scotchers," yelled
a candidate on the headless ticket the
other night. 'Hop-scotch means a
hop, skip and jump. and that's the
way We're going in." Look before
you leap" answered a voter from the
back of the hail. you've got where
you are with hop and a skip. in
stead of a steady gait, and the jump
will land you in-Salt river" And the
candidate answered never a word.
All the republicans ask the voters
to do is to carefully consider the re-
publican county ticket. Is there a
man on the ticket with whom you
can find fault? Does not the records
in office of Linville. Wherity, Thomp-
son. Carnahan, Astbury and Lee all
show them to be honest, economical.
efficient public officers and worthy of
your support? That such is the case
no fair-ndnded man will deny. The
new men selected-Stokes, Young, AL
len, Parker and Ingalls-are all
well known business or professional
men in whom you have confidence.
What better ticket do you want? It
is ticket that was nominated in the
regular way by regularly selected dele
gates from every precinct in the
county. 1t deserves, and it will receive
the support and votes of the people.

Chicago Conference Considered by Some to
Be Opening Of National Campaign.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Whether the con-
ference called by the Antitrust league
will, by it's deliberations, add anything
to the already large mass Of conceptions
and misconceptions on this great sub
ject, seems to be serious question. The
delegates who are now on the spot are
with few exceptions, allied with the
parties opposed to the national admin
istration, and it is charged that this con-
ference is to be simply an adjunct to
the Democracy, and a preliminary open
ing of the national campaign of this
year. President Lockwood, however,
says that nothing of a PARTISAN nature
will be permitted and he will attempt
to hold the convention to the definite
and broad objects outlined in the call.
The chief results of the conference held
here last fall under the auspices of
the Civic Federation might be stated as
follows: Trusts which are a monopoly
are evil, and so far as they owe their
existence to transportation and tariff
determinations ought to be abolished
by removing such determinations
That these determinations exist IS
tangible and admitted fact, and if this
conference can show any other way of
dealing with these problems, it will have
accomplished much The wholesale
denunciations which are promised are
more than likely to react even upon
those who utter them, and just as the
previous conference grew in conserva-
tism and caution, this one may have a
similar trend.
The resolutions formulated by the
committee covered the following points.
Government ownership Of all railways
and telegraph lines, the abolition of
all special privileges by legislative en-
actment, placing on the free list of all
trust goods and direct legislation by pc
tition from the people.
