CAN SEE THE TIME co
A Unique Timepiece is Being Intro
duced in Cairo-No Hands
or Dial

In the show window of II. n
Henckell's drug store may be seen
novelty in the form of a clock that in
dicates the time, not by means of Thu
traditional dial and hands, but simpl,
by the exposure Of numbers represent
ing the hour and minute. If it is q
minutes past 9, for example, the clocl
simply exhibits the number above
the number p, and thus indicates the
time in simple and rational way
New as the idea of such a timepiece
may be to many, its underlying prinr
ciple is not new conception. Hand.
| less clocks of some form have been
known for many years, but the diff
culties which have attended their
manufacture have prevented their
commercial introduction.
In the clock referred to, these him
ORANGES seem to have been successful
ly overcome by its inventor. Mr.. Eu
gene Fitch. if one may Judge by the
popularity of his timepiece.
Broadly speaking. the handless
clock consists of two series of indi-
eating leaves freely pivoted TO form
drums held between rotating disks.
The upper drum of leaves indicates
the hour. the lower drum the minute
A clock train drives the two drums in
such manner that the leaves of the
minute drum Flip past as each minute
passes, while the hour drlm still in
dicates the hour. At the end Of tho
59th minute of the hour, it becomes
necessary to effect a. simultaneous
movement of The hDur and minuta
drums, in order to Indicate The even
hour Il is the attainment of this end
which has presented so much difficult
ty to inventors, and which has been
overcome in this invention.
Mr.. Fitch has effected this stimuli
taneous change Of indication by con
trolling the movement of the leaves
Of one set, the hour leaves for ex-
ample. by leaves of the other (the
minute leaves), 50 that one or more
minute leaves will control each hour
leaf in advance of and until the prop
or time for the change of indication of
the hour leaf. Thus the change of in
dication Of the hour leaf is prevented
until the proper change of the minute
leaves has occurred. In this manner
a variation in the accuracy Of the
hour leaf is obyiated.

Voters, the Times tells you that
you should give no more consid-
Grafton to the political party a
candidate represents, when cast
ing your ballot, than you would
to the color of the candidates
hair. Do you want a better proof
of the insincerity of the cam
paign utterances of that paper?
If the Times contention were
true-that a voter is under no
moral obligation to support the
men who represent his party
then, the Prohibition candidates
should stand just as good a chance
OF election in this campaign as
do Democrats or Republicans.
Mr.. Voter, don't you see that the
Times questions your intelligence
when it undertakes to, mislead
you with such crafty arguments.
1t hopes to bewilder and betray
you.

ment by re-electing G. w. Den
man as school superintendent OF
Benton county. His official rec
ord is known to every man, wom-
an and child in the county, and
it is that record that makes him
invincible. The individual who
can appear to be serious while he
asks Superintendent Denman to
|acquaint voters with what his
ideas and plans are touching
school matters, is the humorist OF
this campaign. Superintendent
Denman's policy in that Office
has worked wonders for the bet
terment of schools in this coun-
ty, and many superintendent
throughout the state are adopting
methods introduced by him.
Every voter -ir Benton county
knows the qualifications of c..
w. Denman. His record as su-
perintendent speaks eloquently in
his behalf, and it will receive un-
precedented Endorsement at the
polls.

A prosperous farmer, useful and
respected citizen is L. H. Hawley
the Republican nominee for the
highly important Office of eoun-
ty commissioner. He is an ar
dent advocate of good roads, and
a friend of conservative and eco
nornical management of county
affairs. His influence in the
commissioners court will be telt,
and his excellent judgment and
familiarity with the needs of the
county will be of great value to
taxpayers generally. No one will
be able to say when his term ex-
pires, that MI. Hawley neglected
the duties of his Office.

It is a pleasure to be served By
a genial, afable official. All who
are familiar with w. P. Laferty's
Jovial manners and smiling coun.
tenance will look forward with
pleasure to the time when they
will meet him in his official ca
pacity as treasurer of Benton
county. Mr.. Lafferty's winning
personality, however, is not the
only thing to commend him to
the support of voters. He has
had experience as a county treas
urer, having served one of the
large counties of Missouri, in
that capacity for two terms, be-
fore he be came a resident of Or
egon. Since coming to Corval-
lis six years ago, he has come to
be regarded as one of our best
and most deserving citizens.

FOR ASSESSOR.

The Republican convention
named an ideal candidate for the
office, when it named George
Cooper for assessor. He is a ma.
tive son of Benton county, hav.
ing been born in Kings Valley,
October 1st. 1858. Nine years
later his parents moved to the
home 2H miles west of Corvallis,
and here Mr.. Cooper grew to
manhood.
After receiving thorough
public school education, Mr..
Cooper assumed the management
of his fathers farm, continuing
in this capacity until 1894. After
his marriage to Miss Maggie New
ton, he moved to the home where
he now resides.
Mr.. Cooper has been one OF
the leading spirits in the up
building of the community in
which he lives. He has done
something for himself and for
society and his services should
receive just recognition. His
neighbors have often honored
him with Offices of public trust,
and he is now one of the trustees
of the school in which he receiv-
ed his early education.
Every Republican in Benton
county should be proud to cast
his vote for SO deserving and COM
petent a candidate of his party as
Mr.. Cooper.

the admiration and approval OF
voters of all parties. 1t is con-
ceded that he will be given the
full support of his party at the

high as useful, public-spirited
citizen. His ability to make
Benton county as good a sheriff
as she ever had, has never been
questioned. He accepted the Re-
publican nomination for sheriff
upon the urgent solicitation of
Republicans from all sections of
the county, and special obliga-
ton rests upon every member of
the party to see that he is elected.

He is thoroughly qualified for the

BE TRUE REPUBLICANS.

Surely, no Republican will be
caught by the crafty argument
that ''in voting for candidate
for Office, no more attention should
be given to his politics than to
the color of his hair.
This is the argument used by
the artfnl gentleman, who wrote
to "John Henry" early in the
campaign and boasted that "the
way to DO sem (the Republicans)
is for every Democrat to vote his
ticket straight, and every Repub-
lican you get counts two"
Republicans have been caught
so easily in past campaigns by
the bait that ''there is no poll
tics in county Offices" that the
self-constituted leaders of the
Democratic party have come to
look upon the average Republi-
can voter as being "pretty easy"
They soft.soap him before cleo
ton, and pour honeyed words in
into his ear, but with the closing
OF the polls on election day the
lines are tightly drawn, and if he
has political or other favors to
ask, he will be told that he must
look to Republicans.
If the Republican-who voted
for a Democratic candidate under
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1904-06-03

}, the mistaken notion that that can
didate was as much entitled te
his support as the Republican
nominee-thinks that he will be
permitted to share in the victory
of that Democratic candidate, he
will be rudely awakened.
The reward that Republican
gets for betraying his party and
supporting tho>e opposed to it, is
the horse laugh.
The candidate upon the Re-
publican ticket for county Office
lis just as fully a representative
of the Republican party and is
just as much entitled to Republi-
can support, as the candidate for
president on the Republican tick
ct is. -
The Republican voter who
casts a ballot against any NOM
inee on the Republican county
ticket, to that extent weakens
the effectiveness of his party Or
ganization in the national cam
paign.
Republicans be true to your
selves and the party whose prin-
ciples you profess to espouse.
Rise above narrow personal pref
erences and prejudices and cast a
clean ballot for the men who will
stand shoulder to shoulder with
you in the greater campaign which
will open with the nomination Of
Teddy Roosevelt.

No candidate has ever been
named by any party convention
in this county whose nomination
met with such hearty and out
spoken approval by voters, re-
gardless OF rolitics, as Richard
Scott, the Republican candidate

exceptional qualifications for the
Office, his integrity as a man,
coupled with the fact that he is

BEEN REVERSED OFTEN.

1t would seem that the Demo
cratic press would be fair and
honest, at least when dealing
with candidates for judicial Offices.
When falsehood is told in sup
port of any candidate, the sus-
picion Immediately arises that de-
ception was thought necessary to
the election of that candidate.
Much has been made of Judge
Hamilton's official record, and
one would suppose that only-truth-
full statements would be made in
support of him. Not so, how
ever. An effort is being made
to deceive the people into be-
