HOW IT IS DONE.

If there is a member of the
Democratic party in Benton coun-
ty who labors under the impress
sion that nominations on his par
ty ticket are not dictated and con-
trolled by Judge McFadden and
his two lieutenants. he would
have been convinced of his error
had the letter, written to John by
the Business Democrat, fallen in
to his hands.
''McFadden, Waters and I tried
to- get Billie to run for recorder,
but he was not willing, stating
that he only had one chance in
three to be elected. Nc and Wat
ters were in favor of forcing him
to take it, but l saw that would
not do"
The above is a fair sample OF
the manner in which the bosses
decide among themselves, who
the nominees shall be, and for
what Offices they shall be nomin-
ated.

THE PLATFORM.

Resolved, That we favor the permanent
betterment of every highway in Benton
county, without regard to ths political COM
plexion of the section to which 1t leads
or through which it passes.
Resolved, That we favor the liberal out
intelligent exenditure of public money for
road improvement, under competent super
vision, and limited to the employment OF
such methods as will provide good roads
without imposing unnecessary burden on
the taxpayers
Resolved, Tint we favor an administra-
tion Of county affairs which will render un-
necessary a gradual increase of the taxpay-
ers' burden from year to year at time
when the county is free from debt, and there
is no demand for heavy expenditure OF
county funds
Resolved, That we favor al equal and
uniform system Of taxation as prescribed oy
the constitution and laws of this state. and
condemn in most severe terms policy
which discrlminates in favor OF one indi-
vidual and against another.
Resolved, That we favor the strict atten-
ton of every county officer to his duties pre-
scribed for him by law, and the faithful
observance of the obligations imposed by
his oath of office Adopted by the Benton
county Republican convention, March 81
1904.

THE FIRST DUTY.

Every man in Oregon who pro-
fesses to be a Republican, a sup
porter of President Roosevelt, and
a wisher for Republican success
in November has one paramount
duty for the eight days remaining
in May, and that is to bestir him.
self to get Republicans to regis
ter. If this is not done, little
else is worth while. If this IS
not done, the great result hoped
for in June cannot be accomplish
ed. You might as we'll try to
build a house from the root down
as to win a great victory for Presi-
dent Roosevelt in June without
first getting the 100, 900 neces'
sary votes registered. May we
not impress this duty upon Re
publican leaders and Republican
newspapers throughout the state!
The old days of buying votes are
past; but the reform legislation
of which the registration law
forms a part imposes new obi.
CATION upon the Intelligent and
honest citizen. This obligation
is one of political activity in all
proper ways. Speeches and raj, ,
lies are secondary to the actual
work of getting the vote out; and
the vote cannot be got out unless
it is registered between now and
May IS.
It is public duty of every citi'
zen of Oregon to cast his vote IN
the November election. No mat.
ter how he votes, his vote should
be recorded, one way or the ether
There is an opportunity now,
lasting till May IS, tor registra'
ton at the office OF the County
Clerk. At that date the BOOK:

that it has been necessary to buy
record, to be used as a county
court journal, about every FIVE
years. This book costs $I8 or
$Io. The other books mention
ed last practically as long and cost
about the same amount. Thus
the county pays $55 for a set of
these books every four or FIVE
years. BY using the typewriter
it will be necessary to expend on
ly one-third as much in that
length of time, or in the neigh
borhood of $18. Every6ve years,
then, the county will be saved
$36 or 81. 20 per year.

The Herald does not see much
in the custom of so often turning
on just so much hot air for each
in turn of its candidates. The
Republican ticket is good in
dividually and as a whole in its
make up. It is good ticket to
vote straight. AS occasion seems
to suggest, whatever. reference
seems suitable will be made in
these columns to the men or prin-
ciples they stand for. Occasion
ally a cut or a write up of the
important candidates will appear.
But the Herald is endeavoring to
avoid the name and the blame Of
being an automatic hot air ma

for President. Everybody should
vote. 1t is the patriots privilege
as we'll as duty. A heavy vote
will be the best advertisement
Oregon can send out. The vote
of 1900 was 81. 900; in 1902 it was
10000. This year it should be
100, 900. Qualify yourself to vote
by registering, and don't delay.
