'T believe l may say have visited

the Pacific and from California to
Canada, and I have yet to see any
thing that offers the advantages OF

shoe manufacturer, who stopped in
Pendleton yesterday while on his way
TO Hermiston, where he is to make his
future home.
'T have taken my time to look this
thing up. This is my third trip to
Hermiston and 1 had been there twice,
the last time for over two weeks, be-

PARAMOUNT ISSUE IN
PRESENT CAMPAIGN
War Of Vested Interests Upon Mr..
Gompers Is Proof He Is Right.

The officers of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor are eminently wise in
pushing the injunction question to the
front. The. abuse and ridicule heaped
upon President Gompers is without
excuse land only for the purpose Of
destroying his" influence and lettering
other labor leaders from fearless1y

= When a: man like Gompers stands
SO firm and i1nnovable as the flood
tides Of hate land spite are turned
loose upon him, our hearts warns to-
ward him: When a man shows the

light to- get behind him and follow
where he leads -.
Elements Against Us.
1.-THE fact that$the Republican lead
ers and" papers nisrepresent Mr..
Gompers is proof positive that they
know he is right The way the high
grade magazines and papers-like the,
New York: Independent and the Re-
view of Reviews-slip over the ques-
ton shows how demoralized public
sentiment is. From the beginning of
this injunction controversy every ele::
nnent that makes for public sentiment
has. been against us: Few understand
the ISSUE, and multitudes believe the
unions are demanding the privilege of
smuggling all those standing in their
way, Now the opportunity has come
to correct this false sentiment, and
If we rise to the opportunity the abuse
of the injunction in labor disputes will
be a thing of the past. :"

is is not for one man to dictate. to
another how he shall vote, nor should
we question the motives Of working
men who do not look at this matter
as we do. But every man who has
considered: this question enough to
realize it's farreac ching effects, has an
unquestioned duty in doing his ut
most to make all understand the i'm

HOW 1T LOOKS TO FORMER
CITIZENS

A former resident of this county
writing to the PRESS, yesterday, says:
"If Josiah Howard's record and
reputation at home is not good
enough for the people of Cameron
county, they do not know a good
thing when they have it. do not
doubt that he will win out"
Your are right, friend. We have too
much confidence in the good sense of
our citizens, regardless of party. 1t is
up to all to sit down and think before
they cast their vote against Emporium
and Cameron county's benefactor. He
never disappoints our people when
they need his liberal donations for
every laudable purpose. He is here to
build up our county. Place him where
he can be of service to you.

UNIFORM PRIMARIES
NEXT SATURDAY.
The Voter Must Ask for
His Party Ticket.

In order to afford our readers. Re-
publicans, Democrats and Prohibition
iats, an opportunity to post themselves
as to the candidates whose names will
appear on the ballot next Saturday, we
publish the official list. The polls will
be open from two to eight o'clock, p.
m. 1t is up to the voters to familiarize
themselves with the new law and the
manner of voting the ticket under this
uniform Primaries Act"
The county commissioners, under
this Act, provide tickets for all parties
and each party ticket contains the
names of all candidates who have petit
toned the commissioners or the secre-
tary of the commonwealth to put their
names on the party ballot, hence when
you enter the voting room you an
nounce to the election officer that you
want ballot of the political faith to
which you belong and on that ballot
you will find the names of all the can
didates of that party, and to vote it
you are required to make cross mark
in the square opposite each candidates
name for whom you wish to vote. Do
nothing else to the ballot. Don't mark
off anybody else's name for if you do
you deface the ballot and under the
law the election officers will reject your
ballot You don't even vote what
is, at general elections, called a
straight party ballot, for the ballot
will not contain party square for that
purpose. There will be blank line
on the ballot under each office to
be filled, on which the voter is privi-'
legged to paste name or write a name
of anyone whom he wishes to vote
for if that PERSONS name is not printed
upon his ballot and If he does
paste or write name on his ballot in
this blank space he is not required to
make cross mark opposite the name,
although to make the mark does not
destroy the vote. A decision of tire
court on this point should make the
matter clear to election officers which
we here give: "When name is insert
ed in blank, it need not be designat-
ed by cross mark, but a mark will
not vitiate the vote" (Freemansburg
case, Vol. 7, page 3s7, Northampton
Reports, 1901
A voter is entitled to his party ticket
only, and it is the duty of the election
officers to see that this provision of the
law is met without challenge, but if his
right to such ballot is challenged
then he is required to make oath that
he voted for a majority of the candi-
dates of the party for whose ballot he
asks, at the last general election.
1t is useless for Democrat to vote
for Republican or Republican to
vote for a Democrat by writing or
pasting his name on ballot for that
ballot will be counted for him under
the party name on which it was cast
and hence will do him no good on his
own party ticket.
To avoid mix-ups and confusion in
computing the vote election officers
and the voters should study the new
law and the cards of instruction which
will be furnished by the county conlis-
sioners.
