OregoD's superiority over the East
ern and Middle States as a goat
country was never more clearly dem
onstrated than at the Angora show
recently held in St. Louis, when
William Riddell's buck Joe" was
ruled out of the contest on account Of
the length Of his fleece. The judges
(all Eastern mem declared that such
a growth Of hair since the regular
Spring sheariDg was impossible, and
one Of the officials laid down the
absurd rule that an Angora's hair
will not make a growth Of over an
inch a month. This rule may hold
good in some states, but man who
would express such an opinion in
Oregon would get laughed at for his
ignorance. The editor Of the Rural
Northwest, in commenting upon the
injustice Of the decision, says: Every
one who knows William Riddell knows
that he Is the personificati0n Of honor
and integrity. Moreover he could
readily have shown an abundance Of
disinterested witnesses that his ex-
hibition goats, including Joe, were
properly sheared at the regulation
time. II this unjust decision as to
the time Of shearing had not been
made Joe would undoubtedly have
taken either second or third premium. "

He simply stayed at home and adver-
tised his way into the Governor ;
chair. He bought newspaper space,
and lots Of it. He bought it not only
in the Democratic newspapers, but in
the Republican papers as well. Thou
sands Of columns shouted his praises
throughout the campaign, and when
the polls were closed and the returns
were iD, Douglas had votes a-plenty
and 10 spare. In the face OF $4,000
plurality for Roosevelt, be carried his

that the millionaire shoemaker made

make a printers ink campaign. Ad-

REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE
Theodore Roosevelt Elected President
by the Greatest Majority in the
History of the Nation.

With the election returns still
incomplete, the plurality for President
Roosevelt in the Nation, according TO
all indications, will exceed 1900, 900
the greatest ever given an American
candidate.
The nearest approach TO this vote
was In 1896, when Mckinley received
plurality approximating S5O,Ooo,and
in 1872 when Grant received 762,99l.
Interest centers in Missouri and
Maryland. Late election returns
indicate that the former state is in the
Republican column SO far as Presi-
Dental electors are concerned, but
that Joseph w. Folk, the Democratic
candidate, has been elected Governor
by 10000.
In Maryland the Presidential vote
will probably be cast for Roosevelt.
In the other states it is simply a
question Of pluralities. The figures
show but IL states with 1873 votes for
Judge Parker. President Roosevelt
carried all the Northern States-swept
them, in fact, and has 343 electoral
votes.
The banner state is Pennsylvania.
Twenty-four hours after the polls
closed the returns from this state indi-
Gated that Roosevelt's plurality would
reach $4,000.
Next comes Illinois, where the Presi-
dent polled approximately 225,OOO
more votes than did Parker. Ohio
gave Roosevelt 200, 900 and New York
I74,OOO President Roosevelt ran ahead
OF his ticket in many localities. In
Massachusetts he had a plurality Of
$4,000, while the Republican candidate
for Governor was defeated by $4,000
California is Republican by 0,OO0 /;
Colorado by $4,000; Idaho by $4,000 /;
Montana by 10000; Nebraska by75, 1000 /;
Nevada by 1900; Utah by 1900; West
Virginia by 10000; Indiana by $4,000 /;
Wisconsin by 60,OOOi Wyoming by
5000.
Roosevelt's majority in Washington
will be about 45, 900. Mead was elected
Governor by plurality OF l4,00O.
The Republicans elected every mem
Der Of the State Senate and all but six
members Of the House.
Late returns show that the Repub-
licans will have over 100 majority in
Congress as against "a at the last
session.
Election returns in Oregon indicate
that the Republican plurality will
reach perhaps 43, 600. Roosevelt carried
every county in the state, and in
several counties Parker has run be-
hind Debs. 1t is believed that Parker's
total vote in the state will not exceed
5000
Seven counties have adopted prohi-
bItion-Gilliam, Yamhill, Jackson,
Benton, Tillamook, Coos and Curry.
Sixteen counties have rejected pro-
hibition-- -Clackamas, Columbia, Lane,
Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, Linn, NAL
heur, Marion, Morrow, Multnomah,
Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wasco
and Washington.

Speaking Of the proposed county ex-
hibits for the Lewis and Clark Fair,
the Salem Statesman says editorially ::
There is going to be one Of the
greatest contests for supremacy IN
this matter that has ever been seen in
any state" The Statesman is right
The signs of the times point TO con-
test that will be red hot from start to
finish. And other counties in the
Willamette Valley are going to make
Old Polk hustle to retain the title of
the "Blue Ribbon County Of Oregon. "
Marion county has appropriated $1,000
for an exhibit. The Clackamas county
court has appropriated a like sum,
and Lane county comes to the front
with $500, and a promise Of $500 or
$1,000 more, ifneeded Over in Eastern
Oregon, Wasco county has appropri-
ated $4OO, and the business men OF
Hood River will add $500 to the
county's donation. Two hundred
boxes Of Hood Rivers choicest apples
have been placed in cold storage for
the exhibit. Other counties in Eastern
and Southern Oregon are joining the
movement in earnest, and the result
will be one Of the most strenuous con-
tests for first place ever heard Of in a
competitive display Of county pro-
ducts and resources. As We remarked
at the outset, Old Polk will have to
hustle 70 retain her present proud
position in the race. Other counties
are after the honor, and are spending
their money to win 1t.

Governor Of Massachusetts, has
always been a firm believer in the
efficacy Of printers ink, and has used
it literally in calling attention to his

CHURCH ANNIVERSARY.
Rev. E. M. Mott Reviews Work
Church Of the Advent

Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of
the founding of the Episcopal Church of
the Advent, at LIE Droit Park, and the rec
tor. Rev. Edward Marshall Mott, took &C.
casion during the morning service to give
brief review Of the progress and work of
the church during it's brief life.
The church was one of the first to be es-
tablished in that section, and it's growth
has been rapid. 1t was under a heavy debt
at the start, but under able management
and with the hearty cooperation of the
congregation this has been fully paid, not
withstanding the running expenses of the
church averaged more than $1,000 annually
The size Of the congregation now is such
that plans for an enlargement of the pres
ent structure or the erection of n new one
are being considered. The suggestion has
been made In the latter connection that the
location of the church should be changed
and site selected higher up on the hill
The pastor, however, does not agree In this
proposition, holding that the building. now
near the center of the parish, should re-
main at the point of fits early struggles
and successful achievement. meeting of
the officers Of the church win be held in
