Hermiston. April 2s.-New people
are coming in every day. and the
country is growing rapidly. Great
pieces OF land are checked off and
are growing fine crops this spring,
which makes an excellent showing.
When newcomers can see the water
and what the soil will produce, they
are almost sure to invest, and that
their money Is being we'll invested will
be proven.
The few windy days caused sand to
blow in the bitches in places, but no
serious damage was done, and the
country looks as good as before.
Potatoes are up and looking fine
where they were planted early this
spring. Great patches OF alfalfa,
onions, potatoes and other crops can
be seen on every hand.

Those from here who attended the
booster meeting in Pendleton Monday

said Bryan was the same man, with
the same ideas, and the same set of

repudiated twice already. 1t is the
same old Bryan. In a speech that
followed, Congressman Smith said it
was not alone Bryan's stand on free
silver, imperialism and government
ownership of the railroads that caused
the pepole to reject him. Added to

PROGRESS THE BEST RULE.

A progressive policy in the long run
is the most economical.
For instance, those who have at
tempted to discredit the Bell system,
which has made the telephone an in
dispensable utility in the thirty years
that have elapsed since the inventor
and his associates introduced it, de-
scribe as extravagant the policy of dis
carding out-of-date apparatus and 9th
erwise radically improving plants and
service.
Yet this policy has made the Bell sys-
tenn the model for the world and has
established a standard of service that
cannot be matched. Radical changes
have been necessary from time to time
to bring the service to something like
the perfection which the men at the
head Of the national system have long
had in mind, and these changes the
Bell companies have not hesitated to
make; nor will they in the future.
Good service requires good equip
ment, one that must be as good tomor
row as it was yesterday.

WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL
IN NOVEMBER.
The Party of Expansion.

1.-The Party of Expansion.
The Republlcn party was founded
upon the principle that this govern
ment was established TO protect for
all times the rights and opportunities
of every individual from ahridgment.
That principle it has successfully
maintained. Through the Civil War
it consecrared reunited country of
free and equal American citizenship.
1t has kept the channels uf Interstate
Commerce open for all and, through
the National Banking System, the re-
funding of the National Debt, Resump-
tlon of specie payments, the Gold
Standard and the Emergency Currency
Law, has sustained the life current of
national integrity.
AS trustee of the National wealth,
il has investigated mineral regions,
surveyed soils, developed waterways,
including the Panama Canal, irrigated
deserts, conserved watersheds, and
husbanded the public lands. Protect
ing American labor by regulating i'm
migration and by taking at the Custom
House, to pay American taxes, foreign
capitals advantage from low wages.
it has preserved to American indus
tries their home market of eighty
millions of the worlds greatest con-
sumers and so laid the surest basis for
American competition in foreign mar
kets. Uniting capital and labor, thus,
In common prosperity and common
source of increased reward, it has
created improved conditions of employ
ment brought about higher standard
of living, and more widespread distri-
button of wealth and weil-beIng, and
made expansion moral as we'll as ma
terial.
Entrusted with insular possessions, 1t
has brought them peace and progress,
and provided for the extension and
protection of American trade. for the
National defence, and for the honorable
discharge of the responsibilities of
world greatness. Maintaining peace
at home. with foreign nations and
among them, it has given American
rights and American opportunities new
meaning throughout the nation and
throughout the world.
1.-THE Party of Progress and Pros
perity.
Promising progress and prosperity,
it has been politically sincere. 1t has
never had candidate of a section,
prejudice. or class, nor platform of
negation, scheme of reputation, pro-
gram of scuttle, or doctrine of despair.
1t has never lent itself to a demand
for revolution, to be followed by reac-
tion and retrogresslon, it has stood firm
for evolution by constant, steady and
enduring progress. Finding trusts,

conflict of State and National law. the

Mr.. Bryan pledges himself TO keep
inside the Democratic platform. But
this is understood to include the plat
form Of the Nebraska PopuIlsts. The
Populists are the big end of the Bry-

fused with Democrats on the state
electoral ticket.
