lit was discovered that the democracy
in West Virginia had a deficiency in
votes. now they have discovered an
other deficiency. There are bills out
standing against the state committee
Amounting to over sixteen hundred
dollars that from present indications
viii remain unpaid. The state COM
mittee are unable to raise the rec
essary amount to liquidate the claims
and are in polite language against
lit This fact was learned Yesterday
when Wylie w. Beall, of Wellsburg,
treasurer of the state committee, filed
in the Brooke county court, his state
ment as the law requires.
All the way through the campaign
funds were proposition and it took
most careful engineering upon the
part of the men at the head Of the
state committee. Individual contribu-
tions did not come. in exceedingly
rapid so tendollar appeal was made
to democrats of the state. AS the re-
port shows the amount realized did
not show great enthusiasm among
"the unterrified" in West Virginia
Less than eight hundred dollars was
realized through the process. Early
in the campaign the committee IN
vested 1910 in music at the Charles
ton convention and though they were
able to pay the piper at the begin
ming of the fight such does.aot prove
to be the condition at the end of the
fight.

A gOodly number attended the Moth
ers' Meeting on Wednesday afternoon
at the school house and listened to an
unusually fine program. The Girls
GIee Club and the Boys Quartette,
under the supervision of their efficient
teacher, Miss Brown, furnished sever
al numbers that were really fine and
were we'll received. Miss Dunn and
Miss Brown gave three DUETS that
were thoroughly enjoyable. Doctor
Smiths talk on Medical Supervision
Of the Public Schools was comprehen-

attention. He dwelt especially on the
needs OF supervision to detect diseases
OF the eyes and ears. Several foreign
countries are much more progressive
along this line than Americans. Only
our larger cities do anything in the

Eberhard The Joseph Favorite.

lEultOrlal IN Joseph f1eralQ.I
About the first of February, Attorney
G. R. Eberhard, Of Joseph, announced
his candidacy for joint representative,
with the approval and support of prac.
tically all of the leading Republicans of
Joseph and vicinity. A short time ago,
another Joseph candidate entered the
field. making his announcement at
another town, and these two are the
only ones before the Republican voters
OF the district.
Since the district will look to Joseph
for the candidate, the Herald proposes
to state in an editorial manner where
Joseph stands as between these candi.
dates, and why the Joseph favorite
should be nominated.
The Herald asserts that Mr.. Eberhard
is the favorite here in JOSEPH, aud vicin-
ity, where both candidates live and are
known, by something like two to one.
1t is also fact that not Que prom
inent Republican in this vicinity is
openly opposing Eberhard.
Besides these facts, there are other
reasons why he is entitled to the nom
ination:
lat. His especial fitness for the posi-
ton, by reason of his legislative expert
cnce, and his large acquaintanceship
ever the state.
End His knowledge CT the law,
coupled with the fact that he is deep
student Of legal and public affairs.
Sd. His frankness with the people
and his expires sed willingness to trust
them.
4th. His enviable record as public
official and the confidence the people
have in him; and also his reputation
for integrity and his spotless personal
character.
Mr.. Eberhard resided over three
years Mt Salem, took the university law
course there, and at the last Legislature
was chief clerk to the important COM
nnittee of judiciary Of the House. He
in acknowledged by all to be among the
leading attorneys Of Wallowa county
having three cases on the civil docket
at the last term, while his opponent
had none. Locally. he has been ell
trusted with every position he would
accept, being school clerk, secretary o
the Commercial ,lur. ju, tice,. and city
recorder, all of which. except the latter
came to lin without any effort on MI
part and in way be could not declint

Old Party Bosses
Against II. M. Cake

Antagonistic to the verge OF bitter
ness, remnunts Of the old machine
which once dominated Oregon politics
have taken up the fight for the defeat
of Statement No. and all who favor
that method.
In Portland and the other large cities
OF the state, the machine crowd is CEN
tering its fight upon H. NJ. Cake, candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
United States senator. Mr.. Cake is q
firm believer in the popular election Of
United States senators and because OF
his belief in the people, has incurred
the enmity of the old machine politi-
clans. Those who are close to the situ.
alton, however, believe that the ma
chine fight against Mr.. Cake, is the
best thing that could happen for his
campaien.
The people of oregon expressed by
their adoption of the primary law and
Statement No. l, what they thought of
machine methods. The old system had
brought shame and disgrace upon the
state-had made the City Of Salem
almost Gonorrah in the way of politi.
cal wickedness. Periodicals and news
papers Of national circulation pointed
to our state as one Of sodden political
corruption, of disgraceful scandals.
1t is in the hope of reviving this old
method by the defeat OF Statement No.
and of Mr.. Cake, that the machine
politicians have started such a bitter
crusade against this new law. Indeed
it is their only hope. Under the pres
ent system, they are without job. 1t
is impossible for one dictator to sit in
his office and say what shall and shall
not be done by the people Of Oregon.
No longer is saturnalia Of bribery and
corruption possible In Salem.
Evidences Of this hostility on the
part of the System" have been appar.
ent In various towns where MIR. Cake
has spoken during his present itinerary
Large crowds have flocked to hear him,
but conspicuous by their absence, were
the old-time leaders. And in this con.
nection it is a fact worth m entioninl
that most of these 81 tagonistic politi
1 clans are either Office holders or have
some claim upon those who are at pres
ent in Cf1ce.
The people who are rallying to Mr..
Cakes standard are those Rel ublicans
who are intensely loyal to their party
but who resent any such dictatorial
methods as the old machine was wont
to use.
Il 1t is foregone conclusion that State
nient No. will prevail In Oregon at the
coming election. 1t is also foregone
conclusion that Mr.. Cake, the only reaI
active supporter of this measure, will bt
elected il the Republican voters of thiI
state do their duty and there Is no room
for doubt but that they will perform
that duty.

him to Statement No. l.

him to Statement No. 1.
Finally, II there is any one thing that
Colon r. Eberhard has reputation for
in Joseph and Wallowa county, it is
that of being lawyer who is
straight" To go into details on this
line would be but to cheaper a reputa
tion now absolutely unsullied.
In the large vote Of Union county lies
the only hope of defeating Eberhard.
We do not think Union county is going
togo contrary to the wishes OF citizens
in the candidates own home, but will
be guided by them, and especially 80,
when Union county demands and re-
ceives the judge, prosecuting attorney
and senator.
