ASSEMBLYITES
ARE KEEPING
VERY QUIET

The Editor of The Capital Journal
is undertaking singlehanded and
alone his campaign for the nomina-
ton for governor. The Assembly
nominee has the Republican State
Central committee which in violation
of law called a convention and pur-
sued convention methods, back of
him. with officialism generally en-
listed in his behalf. After a three.
day motorcar drive of 800 miles in
three western Oregon counties, the
Editor is satisfied that he has quite
a following of the Independent
thinking Republicans who do not
approve of the Assembly, In talking
with about 800 men in three days,
he met with but two advocates of
the Assembly system and the restor-
alton of the delegate method of NOM
mating candidates. But the people
are not registering and there will be
very small vote at the primary un-
less the epople become aroused. The
Editor expects to put in about 100
miles a day over the state, with =
motorcar, and advocate the Direct
Primary, Good Roads, Direct Elec-
tion of Senators under Statement
No. One as the only clean and cor
rect way to choose senators.

The AVIATOR
CAME DOWN
LIKE A COMET

Blackpool, Eng, Aug. S.--Flying
at a great height in a triplane of his
own design, A. V. Roes, an inexper-
fenced aviator, fell to the ground TO-
day but escaped sedious injury. His
machine caught fire while high in
the air and was almost consumed
by the time the framework hit the
earth.
Hundreds of persons saw Roes
make the ascent. They watched him
circle and glide for several min
utes; then noticed puff of smoke
from the center of the triplane.
Roes kept his wit a.ld headed the
machine for the earth. In doing so
he took chances on the triplane
turning turtle.
AS the machine, comet-like,
neared the ground, the frame work
collapsed, the wings of canvas and
wood having been burned, leaving
only the tangled guy wires. The
wreckage fell in such a way that the
aviator escaped death.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 6.-The wo-

STABILITY of abstaining from smok-
ing cigarettes because of the example
set girls and boys throughout the
country gained impetus here today.
Il am happy the matter has been
brought to Mrs. Longworth's atten-
tion," said Mrs. Ella Gleason, pres
ident of the Suiolk County Temper
ance Union. True hearted womanly
women have done their duty, and It
is for her to listen to their request or
not to listen. 1 think that the daugh
ter of Theodore Roosevelt, who said
so much about the bringing up of
children, and about the moral at
mosphere surrounding them, ought
to gravely think of the influence she
is exerting on young girls"
Mrs. Jeanette Knox, secretary of
the Massachusetts Temperance union,
said
81 am very glad America women
are appealing to Mrs. Longworth.

be sent to her"
