THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUSES.
Look out for the man with collar
around his neck.

The Republican voters are warned to
look out at the caucuses this year. Two
years ago, there was an uprising on the
! part of the people in their own behalf
and 70: their protection against monop-
oily. The City Government seemed to
be owned by certain few that did not
! have the best interest of the city at
heart. The History of the Electric Light
War and its results, which saves the city
and its citizens more than $4,000 annu-
ally, tells the rest. The facts challenge
any denial 1t was the peoples great
victory, but there were people who
wagged their heads and said in two years
from now you will see that same old
crowd in the saddle again. The names
of some of the candidates that have been
suggested for political honors this year
would indicate that there was truth in the
prophecy and all Republicans that do
have the City's best interests at heart are
warned to be on hand at the caucuses | n
EVERY WARD Tuesday night The
State Legislature has come out strong
in one instance against monopoly and it
is hoped that they will keep up the good
work. There are monopolies and mono.
poles, and the man who has the courage
to take up the cudgel against them is to
be honored. Mr.. Geo. W Brown of the
Suburban Realty Co.. should be con-
sidored a benefaetor to the people in this
line, for has he not just thrown a large
number of beautiful lots at Mountain
View Park on the market and at anti
monopOlistic prices and who can say
what might have been the prices of this
grand property had ii fallen into other
hands? You can rest assured that any
thing offered by this Company will not
be on an exorbitant basis for that would
not accord with their plan of doing bust
ness. Some people adopt the plan of
getting all they can, hold their prices
high and let people take it or leave it.
but this has not been the policy of the
S. r. c., and G. w. b. They take the
ground that there is more real fun in
doing business on the quick sale, small
piOhN Pioh- DfaushApi Aht property oA
quick as possible, make dollar or dol
lar and half and then go at another lot
in the same way. This surely accounts
for the great success of the NJ. V. p.
property. Why, ten and fifteen cents
per foot for land in Mountain View Park
is dead give away: Why it is simply
clear, sheer foolishness. The prosperity
of the City demands good, levelheaded
mayor, great big fellow and a broad
gauge city government and whenever
there is anything in the shape of an en-
terprise in sight, no matter who it hits,
they should welcome it with open arms |
Adopt this policy and Portland will
boom to the 100000 population point at
short notice. What Portland needs is
men that will act like the late J. b.
Brown who did 50 much for Portland's
prosperity.

President Diaz is up to snuff. and

uppish neighbor on the west coast
of South America has indicated a
disposition to dictate to the Pan
American congress, soon to assem-
bic in the city Of Mexica, by ad.

stating that if the plans of the con-
gress were changed so that the ar
bitration question would be brought
in without limit, Chill would re-
serve the right of determining here
after as to whether she would be
represented. The request was made
that the position of Chilli be com,
municated to the government o.
Mexico. The communication wa.
duly sent to the Mexican authori
ties here. 1t appears, however, tina
they do not feel warranted in re
ceiviug notice as to Chili's coursI

nication between Chill and Mexico
For this reason the notification ha

Yest.a Plalform Yiera.

Senator Vests outline Of the IS
sues upon which the Democratic
national campaign of 1904 should
be based will command the respect
ful attention Of the dntire party and
the special interes, of the Missouri
organization.
According to Senator Vests
views the first plank OF the Demo.
cratic platform should be a declsra-
ton for a graduated income tax, the
second should voice an u~nrelsnting
opposition to trusts, The third should
be a declaration against imperialism
and the colonial system. And upon
these three issues as the most impor-
tani TO the people of this country
the Democratic fight should he
mlde. The Missouri senator does
not believe that the money question
will legitimately figure in the next
national campaign. The rapid and
abnormal production of gold, he be-
~lieyes, mas al least temporarily re-
moved free silver as a political
issue.
