GOVERNOR.
WET OR DRY
The ISSUES
CAMPAIGN CLOSED AND NOW ALL
ANXIoUSLY AWAIT THE VER-
DICT OF THE PEOPLE AT THE
PoLLS-THIS COUNTY PROB
ABLY WET.
Tomorrow is the big day.


General election throughout the
state of Oregon, and the two great
and all-important questions to be de-
cided by the 125,O0O voters of the
state. is as between prohibition and
anti-prohibition, and Jay Bowerman,
Republican, and Oswald West, Dem
ocrat, for the Office of governor.
Interest has been keen, unusually
so, in this campaign, both as to the
"wet or dry" issue and the general
political issues as between the respec-
tive candidates for the highest office
and honors at the hands of the people
of the state, and IL is expected that an
unusually large vote will be cast.
The polling places will be open
throughout the state at z o'clock in
the morning, and will remain open all
day, until Z o'clock in the evening,
but the final result of the election,
especially upon the gubernatorial
question unless the prediction and
the indications that 1t will be a land
slide for Bowerman, prove true, may
not be definitely known until the fol-
lowing day.
Particular interest has been cen
tered in the campaign over the liquor
question, and the prohis, as well as
the antis, have practically exhausted
every means at their command in
this final struggle for supremacy. The
big question to be decided at this cleo
tion, upon this issue, is whether state
Wilde prohibition will prevail or
whether the Home Rule initiative
measure will be adopted, in which
latter event 1t will give to each coun-
ty and community in the state the
right of control and regulation over
the liquor traffic within their respec-
tive barriers.
The present indications are that
this county will go wet" and the
reports in circulation indicate that
many of the counties which have
heretofore been voted dry" under
the local option amendment to the
constitution, will go wet at this
election, and it is more than prob
able that statewide prohibition will
not prevail in this state. The pro-
hibitionists, however, are exertine
their best efforts to carry the state
dry" and the result is likely to bt
close and interesting.
Interest in the state political cam.
, paign has been centered upon the re-
suit as between the heads Of the Re
publican and Democratic tickets, and
the returns in this contest, which has
been the most animated in the polit'
ical history Of the state, will be
awaited with the keenest of interest
and anticipation by the people of the
state and nation at large. The as
sembly issue was decided at the pri-
mary election, and the Republican
party, as a party, has been united
and it remains TO be seen whether ol
not the political destinies of the state
are to be dictated by United States

once more, before the voters of
Marion county go to the polls, 1t is
vital that all Of them should know the
aims of the Non-Political Judiciary
movement and be familiar with the
ticket that, is to represent 1t.
While efforts are being made In
several counties to take the judge
ships out of politics, the campaigns
in those instances are entirely local
to the counties. The struggle TO
make the supreme court non-political
is state one. AS such, it was orig
mated by the State Bar Association,
(of which Judge Kings main oppo-
nent was formerly president) and the
campaign conducted by the committee
appointed by that association has had
reference solely to the supreme JUS
tices themselves.
The principle of the Non-Politieal
judiciary idea can be made clear In a
few words. The effects of politics on
officers are well known. Inevitably
the offices are more or less subject
to the politicians or to the political
influences that name the men to fill
them. But the court, the supreme
court in particular, must be answer
able to nothing but the law itself.
There must be no influences to pla-
cate, no party debts to pay. The
opinions of the supreme court must
be pure and free from suspicion,
based only on the letter of the law.

WILL KING JUDGE OF The SUPREME COURT

To make this entirely possible, 1t is
deemed best that the supreme court
be non-political in this state.
This non-political idea is represent.
ed in this campaign by four candi-'
dates. They are Justices Woodson t.
Slater, Will r. King, Thomas A, NC
Bride and Frank A. Moore. All hap
pen to be members of the existing
supreme court; Frank A. Moore is
chief justice of it. All can be elected
for there are just four places to be
filled. If they are elected, they will,
so far as human frailty permits, full
fill the non-political court ideal
which is the theory of the move7
ment.
Il is true that one or both Of the
political parties have seen fit to NOM
mate these four judges, in addition
to the endorsement given them by
the Non-Political Judiciary movement
Both Republicans and Democrats, for
example, nominated Justice Nc
Bride and Moore. The Democrats
gave Justices King and Slater their
nomination, while thousands of Re-
publicans in the primaries wrote in
their names, thus displaying their de-
sire to see the Non-Political supreme
court in Oregon a reaiaity.
But their first endorsement came
from the state Bar Association, in
furtherance of the non-political idea
