WHEN KNOWLEDGE MEETS
THEORY.

A story that has done service in
political campaigns to illustrate sup
posed dilemmas of the opposition will
likely be revived in the approaching
political heated term"
Away back when herds of buffalo
grazed along the foothills of the
western mountains, two hardy pros
pectors fell in with bull bison that
seemed to have been separated from
his kind and run amuck. One Of the
prospectors took to the branches of
a tree and the other dived into cave.
The buffalo beloved at the entrance
os the cavern and then turned toward
the tree. Out came the man from the
cave and the buffalo took after him
again. The man made another dive
for the hole. After this had been re-
peated several times, the man in the
tree called to his comrade, who was
trembling at the mouth of the cav
ern
"Stay in the cave, you idiot"
"You don't know anthing about this
hole" bawled the other. There's a

Fair Will Be Big Success.

Portland. Ore.-(SpeciaD - The
Oregon State Fair, Salem, September
12-t7, promises to have the most sue
cessful session in its history. Features
never before incorporated will be
seen this year by state fair visitors
and these are generally of high or
der. There have been many improve
ments made to the grounds and
buildings, a new water system in
stalled. with new barns for stock and
added accommodations for racing
horses. The string of horses listed for
this year will probably be ahead of

DINnCK VS.. BOWERMAN.

In the fight for the republican nom
ination for governor the issue is clean
cut. 1t is a straight out contest be-
tween men who uphold the principle
Of the direct primary and the ma
chine politicians who are trying to
snnul our primary law.
1t is true the assemblyites declare
they are friendly to the direct pri-
mary But that is a false claim made
for campaign purposes only. AS
semblyism is the very antithesis of
the direct primary. To uphold the
assembly scheme means to go back
to the convention systemic the
making of nomination in meetings
that are packed and manipulated in
behalf of certain men and certain in
terests. 1t means the re-establish-
ment of political bossism an Oregon.
II will mean the revival of the very
abuses of which the people had be-
come so tired and to remedy which
they passed the direct primary law.
If assemblyism is upheld it will mean
that Oregon is to go back into the
foul hole of political corruption from
which it emerged several years ago
and for which other states of the
union are now climbing just as fast
as they can.
In the fight for the gubernatorial
nomination there are two distinct
candidates in the field. Judge Grant
3. Dimick is the champion of the
direct primary law while Jay Bower
man is the candidate of the politicians
who are trying to cut the heart out
Of that law and leave it worthless

are two other anti-assembly candi-
dates in the field, Hofer and Abra-

strength nor any show Of being nomi.
