There is oceans Of truth in what
Secretary Root had 10 say Of the ma
tional issues involved in the present
campaign, It is merely question as
to whether or not the administra-
tion of President Roosevelt is to be
upheld, Roosevelt stands for all that
the needs of good govaghmcnt require,
He has repeatedly announced his ap-
proval of tariff reform that wcNld af-
ford protection to the consumer, and
has taken steps 30 curtal the en-
croachments of the trusts. In fact,
his policies embody all that Is needed
to rectify those wrongful conditions
now existing. He has called forth the
praise of the conservative democrats
and has been assured of the republican
nomination in 1904. 1t is merely a mat
ter of upholding him or expressing dis
approval of his course. A democratic
victory in New York will be direct
thrust at the president.

Says the Florence West: I'm re-
gard to the question as to who is to
be chosen SENATOR the claim is made
in certain quarters that because in the
June election Geer received more votes
than Wood he is the choice of the peo-
pie of the state for that office. This
is claiming altogether more than the
vote showed. In the first place Geer's
name was put on the ticket by petition
and not by the republicans of the state.
In the second place. many who voted
for Geer did so merely to express their
preference for him over Wood, and be-
causa he was the only republican
whose name appeared on the ticket as
a candidate for that office. The result
does not show that Geer is the choice
Of the people Of Oregon for senator,
but merely that they preferred Geer
to Wood. In fact. we believe that C.
w. Fulton is the choice of the major
ity of the citizens of Oregon for United
States senator and We hope to see him
elected TO that office by the legislature
next winter" To which the Eugene
