Albany Citizens Turn Out to
Greet Republican Can
didateS

Albany, Or, May IA large, en-
tkusiastie and representative audience
greeted the Republican candidates for
state and county offices in the opera
house in Albany tonight. Members Of
all political parties attended and gave
close attention to frank and intelligent
discussion Of the issues of the campaign.
The principal speaker Of the evening
was DR.. James Withyeombe, candidate
for governor, who was ably seconded
in short addresses by Attorney Gener-
al a. NJ. Crawford, Willis S. Duniway,
candidate for state printer, and F. W.
Mulkey. candidate for United States
senator.
This, the opening rally Of the Repub-
liean campaign in Linn county, was en-
inently successful. The appearance of
the candidates on the rostrum was the
occasion for an ovation that evineed
the interest and enthusiasm of Linn Re
publieans The ovation was turned in
to personal greeting to DR.. Witty
eombe, when the gubernatorial eandi-
date was introduced the audience ris-
ing and giving three hearty cheers.
DR.. withycombe gave a plain, cor
vineing statement Of his position on all
issues in the campaign. In a digni-
fed manner, without resorting TO per-
sOnalities, the Republican standard
bearer pointed out the fallaeies Of the
Democratic arguments, the misleading
statements the Democrats are using for
campaign purposes, and closed with an
appeal for Republican support for the
entire ticket, because it is representa-
tive Of the principles Of the Republican
party.
Attention was directed to the Demo
cratic claims that Governor Chamber
lain deserves credit for the enactment
OF the corporations tax law and inher-
itanee tax law, both of which were
drafted by Republicans, recommended
by Republican officials and introduced
in the legislature before Mr.. Chamber
lain delivered his first message, and
finally were passed by a Republican
legislature
Attention was also directed - bill
which the governor vetoed. This bill
provided for the state experiment sta
tion 70 test all artificial fertilizers
which are used for enriehing farm lands

dollars are spent for this commodity
annually by farmers Of Oregon and
the amount is increasing rapidly. , Al
though the 3I., provided for protection
against selling Ar inferior quality OF
fertilizers TO farmers, i; was vetoed.
Since that time tests have shown that
much Of the fertilizer passed of on
farmers is little better than common
SAEd.
