GreenVIIIe AdVocate.,
While both stand on the same plat
form so far as the railroads come into
this campaign, that is the freight re-
duction. Mr.. Conner makes that his
only plank, while DIR. Cunningham has
several, all of them good for the State,
and good for all the people of the State
Therefore, as we have before stated, 1t
is our wish to see DIR. Cunningham
elected this time. He is the logical
candidate, was considered when he was
possible encumbent at the next cleo
ton. He has done nothing to detract
from his competency for the office, but,
on the other hand. has shown by his
high ONCE and we think he should be
elected to 1t at the election next year.

Gadsden Times-NeWs.
" Gadsden continues to press onward
and upward. Many new houses are
being built and new industries secured
all along the line. Visitors to Gadsden
say this Is the best town in the State
and that everybody seems on the move,
Every industry in Gadsden Is running
on full time, property is changing
hands every day, both business and res
idence, and residence houses are being
a three-s story stone and brick bank
building going up-while only a few
blocks away work has been commenced
on a $4,000 Carnegie Library. We
have the best people in the South and
plenty of pure water.

Thinks He should Resign.

President B. B. Conner of the Railroad
Commission Is an open candidate for
Governor of Alabama. We think he
should resign the office he now holds.
as he shows clearly by his acts that
he cares nothing for the Office for which
he spent over $4,000. While he has
accomplished nothing for which he was
elected. he is ready to leave the job to
other hands. We know what Lieuten-
ant-Governor Cunningham will do, for
he made a most enviable record while
acting Governor, and appears to us to
be the logical candidate. and Mr..
Conner admits that the Doctors plat
form is just as good as II he (Mr.
Comer) had written 1t himself.

Sensible People.

The people In this section are pre-
serving their GOODNESS so far as poll
tics is concerned. So far, we haven't
heard of any one going crazy over any
one for Governor or for any other Of
fee. If this policy Is kept up, there
may be a chance for reason rather
than prejudice to prevail. The people
are beginning to learn the game of the
hulabaioo politician and to look with
suspicion on his methods.

DALLAS DAY AT PAIR

Next Monday will be Dallas, New
berg and Dayton day at the fair. This
will be the first Of a series OF "Oregon
Cities Days" at the big Exposition,
and large number of visitors from
the towns along the Yamhill division
Of the Southern Pacific railroad is
assured. The Fair officials are
anxious to make the day enjoyable
for all who attend, and will overlook
no courtesy or attention that will add
to the pleasure Of the visitors. 1t is
altogether probable that impromptu
exercises will be held, in which lead :
Ing citizens of Polk county will take
part, and the Oregon building will be
thrown open to the visitors for the
entertainment Of their friends.
The train will leave Dallas at the
usual hour In the morning, and will
run on regular schedule time, giving
the excursionists seven hours at the
Fair grounds. A halr-fare rate will
be granted for the round trip by the
railroad company. The people Of
Dallas ale taking an active interest in
their day at the big Exposition, and
many will avail themselves Of the
opportunity to join the excursion.
Some of the leading business houses
have declared their intention OF Civ
ing their employees holiday, and it
Is probable that nearly all the stores
and offices in town will be closed.
Every man woman and child who
can get away from home should attend
the Fair next Monday. 1t is a duty
that every citizen owes to his town to
help make Dallas Day one long to
be remembered. Dallas is known
throughout the length and breadth Of
the state as live, progressive town,
and the eyes of Oregon will be upon
us next Monday. 1t is important that
we make a good showing on that day,
and the way to make a good showing
is to join the crowd and go to Port
land. The people who have invited
us are looking for us, SO let us not
them.

POLITICAL FORECAST

e. NJ. Humphrey in Jefferson Review)
States are being arranged for state
officers to be elected next year. AS
usual, democratic aspirants are
scarce, as few care to make an almost
hopeless fight. Chamberlain will be
renominated for governor, but where
the remainder Of the ticket will be
found is a matter OF doubt. 1t is a
case Of the nomination seeking the
man. In republican ranks there are
numberless candidates, and each one
Is satisfied that he is the man whose
nomination would settle all dissen-
sions in party ranks and lead the en-
tire ticket to g-e-l-o-r-i-o-u-s victory.
The latest aspirant mentioned for
governor is Judge George H. Burnett,
and the warm brotherly feeling now
existing between him and Chamber
lain would make the campaign so hot
that they would have to be accom-
panied by volunteer fire department
or a Babcock extinguisher Col. f.
Hofer and Walter L. Tooze are each
certain that he is peculiarly fitted to
succeed Binger Hermann as congress
man. Justice @. Il. Wolverton and
State Printer J. r. Whitney want to
be reelected. Claud Catch and Frank
Il. Wrightman are each willing to
sacrifice four years time for the dear
people and hold down the office Of
secretary OF state. j. w. Ouslck, the
we'll known Albany banker, would
not refuse the nomination tor state
treasurer Aud the above are but
few of the many names prominently
mentioned for state Offices. For
county offices not much work is being
done yet. Taken altogether, 1906
promises to be live year politically |
