ways the ease in such dreadful emer-

who were less prepared and still more

possible by putting on the market an
"air meter" which measures air ex.

SENSE AND GOOD NATURE.

It is conceded on all sides, among Re-
publicans, that the close of the prim-
aries on Friday, has left no wounds nor
resentful spirit among the men who
failed to attain the respective nomina-
tions sought, This is as it should be-
and is not unexpected and is wholly
appreciated Good sense and good ma
ture have supervened and there will be
no exhibition of personal malice nor
small reprisals. Republicans are Re
publicans, elected, or defeated. The
spirit of manly submission to popular
dictate is parcel of the Republican pro"
gram and principle, and Republican
Clatsop and the City of Astoria con-
graduates itself upon this commendable
partizan expression at this time.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1906-04-22
THE CAMPAIGN is ON.

Tomorrow morning the Clatsop
county campaign for 1906 will open and
will continue until the sundown hour
of Monday, June 4th. The candidates
are named. the issues are defined, the
fight is on, and there will be no sur
cease from things political until the
last man named on the Republican
ticket, state and county. is duly install
ed in the office for which he has been
chosen. There may be other conclu-
sions than this, but they are not prov
able, nor, in fact, operative. Oregon,
and her counties, must 60 Republican
this year for many vital reasons, the
most important of which is the prime
essential of sending two Republicans to
the federal senate This imperative
duty demands clear-cut, unquestion-
ed Republican predicate, and to ae-
eomplish this every man in the state
who is loyal to Republican principles
must exert his best and last effort; to
do less is tantamount to treason. The
engagement in Clatsop offers no new,
nor insuperable, obstacles in this rela-
ton; the opposition lineup is, sub
stantially, the same old Democratic
push travelling under its customary
alias of "Citizens," and the platform
they offer does not contain an item Of
new or original force and they are with
out any stronger incentive in the fight
than the mera personal qualification
for Office. The Republican nominees
enter the field as the essential repre-
sentatives of their party popularity
named and wholesomely backed with
the concrete sentiment of their party
for the firm and final intrenchment of
Republican principles throughout all
Oregon, to the certain and enduring
maintenance of her prestige and pros
perity. Thus actuated, and in posses
sion of the working majority in the
State and in the county, the issue is
re.determinable and absolutely Re-
publican.

HOW IT WORKS.

The cutting of of passes by certain
railroads calls to mind the remarks OF
an Irish orator in contrasting the diff
ference in fares paid by the classes in
the could" country and America. He
said: "Oyer there the aristocrats pay
three cents mile the middle class two
cents and the laborers a cent and a
half. But in America the laboring man
pays three cents mile, the merchant
pays two cents and the rich ride on
passes"
