REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE

Republicans in different parts of the
state are organizing for the coming
campaign. The "get together" spirit
is working and in the organization
of these clubs the women are invited
to participate. There is to be nc
work TO be done by these clubs to
further the interests of any particular
candidate before the primary, each
individual is to be left to work OF
vote for any candidate they may de-
sire, but the idea of these clubs is to
get together and have preparations
made to elect the Republican ticket
as nominated in the primary.
The right kind of spirit seemed
to prevail at the organization of the
Republican Club in Portland last
week, and the words spoken by many
of the speakers were such as should
bring to the front united party. As
a sample we give the words of Hen
ry B. Miller, former United States
Consul at Nuchang, China, and prior
to that a member of the Oregon Leg
islature, who was attending his first
Republican meeting in Is years.
"The difficuluty has been, ," said Mr..
Miller, "that people have seen that
the Republican party has been oppos-
ed to reforms they wanted. If you
If you want to reorganize the Repub-
lican party, let me tell you frankly
that you will hae to put into it new
life, new spirit, new purpose.
"And until the men you put in
nomination are men who are conse-
Grated to the public welfare, you will
not succeed.
"The difficulty has been that the
brains of this country have largely
been engaged by corporate and special
interests. The people have rebelled
against that. They have not rebelled
against the principles of the Republi-
can party. And so I hope that the
new spirit---let me say; the old spirit
of the Republican party will be re-
vived and that we will soon have in
it spirit of religious conservation
to the public service"
Another good republican said:
"Two things are absolutely neeess-
ary to make this club success. First,
there must be absolute unity as far
as we can possibly have it. Let us
work together; that is the strength
and the value of this organization and
of every organization.
"Then we must know what it is
that the Republican party is, why we
are Republicans and what the Repub-
lican party stands for. Without men,
tioning any more than the distin-
gushing feature of the party, it is
that it believes in representative
form of government. "
Nothing can be accomplished with
out organization, and if the repnb-
licans are to win in the election this
fall, we must begin right.
Republican clubs should be organic
ed all over the state, and they should
meet often and study the situation
from a practical standpoint, devise
means of getting good speakers to
meet with them, find out what is need
ed, and advocate only such measures
as are for the best interests of the
state.
If the Republicans organize all over
the state and use the power of these
clubs as a means of education, no
political "boss" can manipulate the
election or control nominations.

Plunging fork in a baked potato
Doderick Peel, a rancher near Sar
Diego, California, last week recovered
in the middle of the vegetable a saph-
ire ring that his wife dropped in the
fields two years ago and searched for
in vain Despite the fact that the
field had been gone over with the
utmost care, the ring was never found
and the tuber, as it grew, enveloped
the ring in its starchy flesh. The po-
tato had been in Peel s bin for several
weeks.

fore the senate 1t will be almost i'm
possible for dissatisfied cour.cs to

where adultery is charged. Mental
incapacity must be proved by ut least
two witnesses and cruel treatment
shall consist Of actual violence uncOn-
doned by either party. Habitual In
toxication must be proved by at least
three witnesses. Under this law the
old practice Of letting .verdicts be won
by failure to defendtth suit will be
a thing of the past and judges are
directed to appoffit lawyers for the de-
fendant and insist on his appearance.
I Another bill before the senate today
is that substituting the electric chair

executions take place at the state
