VICTORY.

The ballots have been counted and
Mayor Murphy is reelected. The VIC
tory was greater than was expected,
1t was sweeping and complete. The
ncndescript forces Of pessimism and
partisanship were driven from the
field in utter rout and the flag of
progress now floats over all the city.
Now that the fight is over let us
clear the field and bind up the wounds

scars TO tell of the bitterness and
hatred engendered during the cam
paign. It is needless to fight after
the battle is over. Opponents Of yes

is much work still to do and Pendle-
ton needs a united people. In the
work of advocating the welfare of
this city all may join and all should

PROGRESS WON.

In the mayorality campaign many
things combined to bring about the
reelection of Mayor Murphy. His
personal popularity and his individu-
al character had much to do with the
splendid vote that was given him. So
did the earnest support that was
given him by the independent repuo-
licans under the leadership of Judge
Fee and others who resented the at
tempt TO use the name of the repub-
Iican party in an improper manner,
But in the view of the East Ore
gonian the big thing that brought
victory for Mayor Murphy was the
fact that he stood as the candidate
OF the progressive element within the
city-of the people who are tired OF
pessimism and knocking and who
want to aid in building up the city.
These people believe that cities are
very largely what their people make
them and in this they are right.
The fact that the people of the city
turned out and voted strong on the
side Of advancement is a hopeful sign.
L is cheering to those who are align
ed with the move to take Pendleton
out of its Slough OF Despond and
place it in a position to grow and
prosper.
BY their votes yesterday the people
elected a mayor who is known to be
favorable to anything that will work
for the upbuilding of the city. He is
not antagonistic in any sense to pres
ent industries, nor is this paper, de-
spite utterances to the contrary. But
Mayor Murphy and an Overwhelming
majority of local people want new in
dustries. They want to bring to the
citv the forces that will make further
growth and development possible
they want to see Pendleton reach out
and claim its own. The way for this
now seems clear and by the grace Of
God and the strength Of united and
yirile people oendleton is going for

vive la Pendleton and Progress,
SOCIALISM IN EUROPE.

One Of the most significant phases
of the present shift and play of politi-
cal forces in Europe is the steady
gain in the socialistic vote. particu-
larly on the continent. In England
every by-election shows the import
ant influence OF the socialistic labor
factor in British politics. The social
list electors hold the balance of power
in more than one district in greater
London, although the municipal cleo
tions held on November 1 in Liver
pool, Bradford Coventry and several
smaller cities, the socialistic candi-
dates were defeated. 1t is in the par
liaments Of the continent however,
that the present political strength Of
socialism is most strikingly shown.
At the October election in several Of
the German states there were notable
socialistic victories. OF the sixteen
seats contested for late in October,
representing Berlin in the Prussian
Landtag, the socialists captured four
teen, as compared with eleven at the
preceding election. This triumph is
made more significant by the fact that
in the preceding election OF Novem-
ber the socialistic vote is represent
ed as being $4,000, as against $4,000
at the election Of last year while the
united poll Of all their opponents fell
off from 5000 TO 300. The results
in Baden showed socialist victory in
twenty districts, az against twelve
hitherto. In Saxony the socialists
captured twenty-four seats, as against

1t is always gratifying to a news
paper when its people heed its coun-
sci by electing to office men whom it
endorses. The East Oregonian feels
complimented by the result of yester,
days election for this paper led the
fight for Mayor Murphy But it was
not strictly a fight for Mr.. Murphy.
The East Oregonian has no more in
terest in Mr.. Murphy than in other
business men. It fought for Pendle-
ton. This paper has no master save
the people of this city and of eastern
oregon.

The sum that 'Pendleton is asked

be one hundred times as great. When
