growers square deal in tariff max
ing and permanent and stable con-
ditions under which to carry on their
business.
Rusk declares that he will win the
support of the sheepmen of the dis
trict who have just recently awaken
ed to the fact that they have been
made the victims of the greed and
rapacity of the wool barons of New
England. For it is now conceded to
be true that the wool growers have
not been getting one-half the pro-
lection they had been lead to believe
they were receiving under the tariff
law. A permanent, stable condition
in regard to the tariff, not constant
agitation and uncertainty, is the first
requisite for prosperity, not alone in
the sheep business, but in all other
lines of industry, declares Mr.. Rusk,
and he feels the people of eastern
Oregon are of the same mind.
Local friends of Rusk, who have
followed his candidacy, declare he
has the lead in the race at this time.
He is making an aggressive and en-
ergetic campaign and his advocacy of
progressive policies is making him
friends everywhere. His friends hold
him up as THE" progressive aspir-
ant for the republican nomination
and assert that the progressives of
the party should rally to his support.

William Taft in the work planned.
A feature of the caucus which will
be held tonight will be the fact that
the men who will be present to give
the initial impetus to the movement
will for the most part be young men
and men who are not and never have
been aspirants for office and who
have never been identified with any
political ring. According to DR..
Temple, all of the men who have sig
nified their preference for Roosevelt
have made it plain that it is Roose-
welt, the man and statesman. that
they admire and that they are
prompted solely by their belief in
him.
DR.. Temple and George Strand have
been the most active in starting the
present movement locally and they
express their belief that fully three
fourths of the republicans in Pendle-
ton prefer Roosevelt to Taft as a
candidate for the presidency
One of the principal speakers at
the meeting tonight will be Jerry

republican nomination for congress
