good men, but it would be wise to
make a change and shake up what is
said, not altogether jokingly, to be

fetal to have little new blood on the
bench here, and nobody doubts that
Mr.. r. G. Morrow and Col c. W. Gen.
tenbein are exceptionally well quail
fed for these positions.
AS to Judge Webster, we think he
should be retired, for various rea-
sons, but mainly because while TAX
ing $500 a month of the peoples
money he has attended principally to
his own private practice. We want
a man who won't do that.

the great length of the bridge would
prevent its use for wagon travel of
any consequence. If Mr..
Hill is to be shut out of Portland
there is no necessity for his crossing
the Columbia river, and st. Johns
would then drop back to its old posi-
ton on the end of a stub of one rail-
road, instead of being right on the
main line of two of the greatest
transcontinental roads in America.
Delays are dangerous in this mat
ter, not alone because continued re-
bluffs may cause Mr.. Hill to undergo
change of heart, but for the reason
that there is the eyer-present posi-
bility of truce being declared and
all building stopped"
The interests that are fighting this
railroad are utterly selfish and most
of them are utterly base. They are
deadly enemies of this community,
and a few six-bit fellows of st. Johns
are being used as tools sand not even
being paid.
There ought to be a great mass
meeting to declare in thunder tones
that this vicious and vile disposition
shall cease, and that Immediately.
We ARE nearing crisis"

MR.. SAMUEL CONNELL.

Mr.. Samuel Connell, president and
manager of the Northwest Door Co., a
very energetic, useful and prominent
citizen and business man, is a candi-
date for state senator, and deserves
election. He is a type of man that
is needed urgently in QUE Legislature.
He is a frst-class business man, en-
terprising and philosophical, moral,
courageous, manly. intelligent, and
one who won't and can't go wrong.
We hope to see him in the next
Oregon legislature. and know that the
peoples interests will be safe in his
hands. Put such men as Samuel Con-
nell on guard in such positions.

CANDIDATE FOR CORONER.

Van G. Cunning is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for coroner,
and he ought to be nominated. He is
a native of the state and city, the
worthy son of an honored pioneer,
who is known to thousands of our
citizens as an honorable and conscien-
tious business man,
Mr.. Finley is a very good citizen
and has made fair coroner, but this
office can be bestowed nowhere so ap-
propriately as on Mr.. Dunning.
One reason for this is that while
doing business in all parts of the
city and surrounding country, Mr.. Dun
ning's place of business and residence
is on the East Side of the river,
which portion of the city, now con-
tanning a majority of its residents,
deserves more recognition
Mr. Dunning is capable business
man, well known, thoroughly respon-
sible and reputable in every way,
good citizen, and deserving in all re-
spects of the peoples support

ner. The majority of the people are
lovers of fair play, and most of them
know and remember that Mr.. Storey.
after serving very ably and acceptably
as sheriff of this county for one term.
was turned down by a combination of
cliques and interests that nominated
Jim Stott-with what results we all
know Stott was beaten overwhelm-
ingly by Word, and that vote was in
a large sense and measure the pro-
test of the Republicans of this coun-
ty against the contemptuous turning
down of Storey, who then deserved
another term, and who deserves it
now. Not that any one man is emit
tied to any Office as a matter of right,
but it has been the rule to give a good
official, especially when his term is
only one of two years, second term,
if not a third. This was done with
Frazer, it is being done with Fields,
and it should have been done, and
should yet be done, with Storey. Give
him the nomination. He deserves it;
he will beat Word, and he will make
a first-class sheriff, as he-did before.

State Printer Whitney, along with
School Superintendent Alderman,
should be reelected. They have been
good, capable, faithful officers. They
have done their duties well, and 1t
wouldn't pay to make a change. They
know the routine work now, and the
people are satisfied with their SER

there has been no graft whatever, and
the peoples business has been
promptly, carefully and conscientious
ly attended to.

Hon Frank T. Wrightman, who No
the Republican candidate for the
nomination for the state secretary
ship, has received SO many assurances
of success that there should be no
doubt about the result. He is popu-
lar, able and is fitted in every way to
be the successor Of Hon. F. l. Dun

and is fitted by education, study and
business training to be the represen-
tative of the people of Multnomah
county in the state legislature. He
has for years been an indefatigable
worker for the party and for every
thing that the party represents in the
advancement of the interests of the
state.
Hon. j. R. Whitney, as state print
er, has made most conservative and
faithful official and has fully earned
the honor of reelection. His conduct
of the business of that responsible
office has been most economical
throughout. He has introduced many
substantial reforms in the work of
the office, thus saving much money
heretofore -needlessly expended in
public printing. He has fully earned
the nomination for a second term
and he will no doubt receive it. II

Hon. R. R. Giltner, who is candi-

for the county judgeship, is receiving
strong endorsement in every district
so far canvassed. The voters know Mr..
Giltner we'll. They know him to be.
honest, steadfast, energetic and pro-
gressive. They know him to be a.
good lawyer and good judge of law.
They know that he is conscientious
and impartial. They know, also, that
he knows what the needs of the peo-
pie of the county are. They have
no doubt, either, that he will devote.
all of his time to his official work.

THE PEOPLE HAVE CHOSEN.

The campaign, so far as the choice
of the man whom the people will en-
dorse for senator, is ended. Mr..
Bourne, whose record was his I'M
doing, endeavored to stem the tide of
public condemnation by the liberal
use of money, but money is not the
"open sesame it used to be under
the old regime of machine politics.
The people are now supreme, untram-
meled by political bosses-free from
machine rule-and the people have de-
cided to choose Judge E. B. Watson

)R. wITHYCoMBE, GOVERNOR.

There never has been a campaign
for the governorship of Oregon con-
Quoted in more clearly, openly,
manly and mannerly way than that
which has so far been and is now be-

combe, of Corvallis. We say cam
paign for the governorship advisedly,
for Dr. Withycombe will surely re-
ceive the nomination on the Republi.
can ticket, and as surely be elected.
No one can question his method of
making known the fact of his candi-
dacy or his manner of seeking the sup
port of those who will elect the next
chief executive of this state. He is
not a politician in the ordinary sig
MITIGATION of that term He is simply
a plain, useful, stalwart citizen, well
informed on all matters that pertain
to the common interests of the COM
monwealth and in close touch and
sympathy with the needs and desires
of the people.
For many years Dr. Withycombe
has occupied a position of more than
ordinary Importance in the Develop
ment of the leading interests of Ore
gon. AS director of agriculture in the
Agricultural College at Corvallis he
has rendered eminent service to the
people of the state; and in that ca
pacity he has become familiar with
conditions throughout Oregon, many
of which are deplorable in some re-
spects because of official neglect

state executives are more political

where Dr. Withycombe has the adj
vantage over all of his opponents, for
he is essentially a practical man.
That is the kind of man the people
want and need.
If DR.. Withycombe were governor
of Oregon, not a single interest would
be overlooked, even in the remotest
county. His would be a practical
business administration for the people
as whole. That it would be an eco
administration may be judged
by the manner in which Dr. Witty
combe has handled all of the business
with which he has had to deal, both
for the public and for himself pri-
vately, during a long life of remark
able activity and usefulness. That is
why he is so generally popular with
the people. They know him. They
know his nature and his habits. They
know he can be trusted. They are
not afraid of him politically, for he
will not be preiudiced by party affilia-
tions, Notwithstanding the fact that
he has done eminent service as a Re-
publican for many years. They know
he is honest and practical They
know there will be no sectionalism in
the conduct of the business of his Of
fee, for he will favor no district to
the sacrifice of the interests of an
other.
For all of these estimable qualities
the people admire him, believe in him
and love him for the man he Is.
That's what will make him the next |
governor of Oregon.

Hon. r. G. Morrow, who is candi-

the circuit judgeship in Department
No. 2, is beyond doubt the most pop

for the place his many friends have
induced him to seek. No one doubts
the purpose of his honorable ambi-

NEARING A CRISIS"

The people of Portland ought to
rise up, 80 out of 100, of all its 150,-
900, and demand that the obstruction
to the entrance of the Northern Pa
cific railroad into this city cease. I'm
der the above title the Oregonian pub
fishes an editorial, portion of which
we take pleasure in reproducing and
commencing. 1t is the right kind Of
talk. 1t reads:
"The North-Bank road over
which the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railroads are coming down
to tidewater by a water-level grade,
is being pushed to completion as rap
idly as men and money can hurry it.
Large forces of men are working
night and day on a bridge at Vancou-
yer in order that there will be no de-
lay in bringing cars into Portland as
soon as the road is completed. I'm
fortunately for Portland, there is an
element in our city which, from mo-
tives difficult to understand, seems
determined to prevent entrance of the
road to the west side of the William
cite river. Every obstacle which the
ingenuity of man could conjure up
has been placed in the path of this
approaching railroad, causing a vex-
atious delay that is not only expen-
sive for the railroad people, but posi-
lively harmful to the welfare of the
city. The railroad people have met OBJ
lection after objection, they have re-
peatedly changed their plans to con-
form with the ever-increasing re-
strictions that have been made upon
them, until it is now apparent that
the limit of endurance is close at
hand.
The situation is a critical one for
Portland. Mr. Hill can find other
communities that will welcome the
coming of his road, or he can easily
build new ports that can be
reached without coming into Portland.
In accordance with the extraordinary
requirements of the Port of Portland,
the railroad company agreed to build
a bridge with one of the longest draw
spans ever constructed When the
final change was made in
their plans to meet the requirement
with this remarkable draw, CONNER
cial Portland breathed a sigh of re-
lief, and we congratulated ourselves
because there at last seemed a pros.
pect for Mr.. Hill to keep his promise
and have Great Northern and North.
ern Pacific trains running into Port
land by Christmas, 1906. But the OBJ
structionists still retained a shot in
their locker, and they now demand
that this enormous draw, with a
length of 522 feet, be surmounted by
an upper deck for wagon travel.
This additional structure, in the
opinion not only of railroad engineers,
but of many others, would make the
draw so unwieldy and difficult to han
die that it would cause delays both to
shipping and trains, with practically
no advantage to be gained, as the
heavy grade at the approaches and

nate and elect Frank T. Wrightman

in some detail last week, this is a
very important Office, and he is un-
doubtedly the best man for it. We
expect to see him win the nomination,
and that he will he elected by the
