the slightest anxiety as to the final

number of the speakers and that
was, Walla Walla herself must show
her faith in the undertaking before
other communities can be expected
TO show much enthusiasm.

In the congressional campaign now
on In the second or eastern oregon
district, the Official vote In the pr
maries of 1905 will prove interesting
in the lighi OF the boast made by T.
T. Geer that he has never been turn
ed down" by the people.
In his advertisements OF himself in
the Pendleton Tribune, Mr.. Geer
claims to have been upon every quar-
ter secti0n OF ground in eastern Ore
gon and to know more people than
any other candidate in the field and
yet In the primaries OF 1906 Mr.. Geer
as a candidate for governor, did not
carry either OF his home counties,
Union or Marion. and in Umatilla
county received but little more than
one-third OF the vote cast for w. r.
Ellis at that time.
An abstract from the official vote
OF the primaries Of 1906 is as fol-
lows:
For Governor.
Marion county, (Geer's home),
Withycombe ..........,.,17 1894
Marion county (Geer's home).
Geer. .....,....... ......... lZOS
Union county. (Geer's former
home). Geer ........... 1892
Union county. (Geer's former
home). Withycombe ........ 497
Governor and Congressman.
Umatilla. Geer for governor. 4S3
Umatilla. Ellis for congress. :. 1907
Union. Geer for governor. .... 332
Union. Ellis for congress ..... sos
Mr.. Geer had lived in Union county
IL years. and in the Willamette val
ley principally in Marion county. all
the remainder of his life at that time.
and II is significant that he. did not
carry either OF the counties In which
ne was best known and where he
should have been extremely strong.
On the other hand, both Umatilla
and Union counties gave Congressman
Ellis an overwhelming vote.
This official record from the pri-
mary election Is the best evidence
given In regard to the esteem in which
the different candidates are held In
the communities where they are
known.
