The balderdash presented by the ss-

Intelligent person and in recognition
Of conditions elsewhere. Kansas City,

and while IL has no saloons II has
experienced a splendid increase In the
volume Of business during the period
Of alimentary drought. During tho
dry spell the building Of new homes
has increased and the bank oleArings
are In excess of former years. The
man who predicts that Grants Pass

IL the saloons are closed certainly does
not look beyond tho frotb at the top
Of the glass. The families who CON

whether there are saloons, and mega

them than price per acre. A vote for

expectancy the governor could not re-
frain from opening with few good
stories. after his graceful Introduction
by County Judge Jewell.
By way Of illustration OF the
peculiar and amusing incidents OF
campaigning Gov. Chamberlain re-
lated q little instance in his campaign
of two years ago when he sent good
friend up to Astoria to ascertain the
sentiment of the Swedish people in
that locality. When the emissry
asked one Scandinavian there If he
knew CHAMBERLAIN, he replied that he
did with the further declartion that
"aye tank he purity good feler." " When
ask ed relatively as to Mr.. Chamber
Inns OPPONENT he answered likewise,
but when asked who had the best show
the Swenske replied: Ringing
Bros. have darned sight da best
show"
Governor Chm M berlsin recited brief
ly the corruption and political job
berywhich was responsible for the in
stitution of Statement No. /. He said
that five different times there had
been passed by the lower house Of
congress resolution asking for an
mendment to the United States con-
stitution providing for the election OF
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people. and that the resolution
had been as many times defeated in
the senate, while 81 states had asked
for this reform by resolutions from
their respective state legislatures.
Governor Chamberlain refuted Mr..
Cakes statement Of few weeks ago,
that a democratic senator from Ore
gon would be powerlsss to accomplish
anything for the state. by the tier
alton of what senator Gearin, a demo-
crat, had done in the way Of securing
appropriations for the development OF
Oregon, and citing that since the
election of republican successor,
with full republican delegation In
congress from Oregon, not as much
had been accomplished.
He said that many Of his Repub
loian acquaintances had suggested thai
his acquaintance with the state, iti
people and is needs, favored hii

some Of the needs OF the state fol

vent the monopoly of these resource,

Mr.. Chamberlain said that the ad

Roosevelt popular with the people, hat

governor declared that IL elected tc

surely our honored veterans never met

now their children may best honor

We heard a Grauts Pass business

even greater results than this.
