THEODORE Roosevelt

iHLUuUnL nii"SLvLlI
Ex-President, Soldier, Explorer
and one Of the most remark
able leaders in the United
States, is o strong champion of
LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT
and Home Rule. He has never
raised his voice in behalf of
statewide prohibition, and so
he has suffered attacks from
radical and hysterical prohibit
tionists. AS between q man of
Theodore Roosevelt's ability
and standing and those who
are the paid emissaries Of pro-
fessional propagandists, the
voters of oregon win not be
slow in passing upon the wis
dom and credibility of the
witnesses.

COMPARISON OF PARTISANS.
Republicans Poll Nearly 10000 Votes
and Democrats 35,998.

Of registration of 136,282 the re-
publican party polled about 10000
votes at the recent primary, accord
ing to the official vote announced by
Secretary of State Olcott. The
county clerks at the primary elections
do not keep record of the party af-
filiations of the voters, as is done at
general elections, so it is impossible
to arrive at the exact vote.
The number of persons voting for
republican aspirants for governor was
9S, S,400, and it is probable that 1900
or more republicans who participated
in the primary did not vote for any
person for governor. Of 60,693 regis
tered democrats, 80, 99S voted for the
aspirants for the nomination for gov
ernor. Senator Chamberlain received
31,345 votes. R. A. Booth, the re-
publican nominee, 69,325.
Although the progressive party had
a registration of 6O2, William Hanle(,
nominee for United States senator, re-
ceived only 1924 votes. His vote was
larger than the combined vote of F..
M. Gill and L. S. McMahan, aspir-
ants for the nomination for governor

committed. DR.. Hayter, Gerald Volk,
Henry Campbell and DR.. Bollman
testified in behalf of the city, and sew

ACKERMAN NOT GREEDY.
President of Normal Declines S40O
Raise of Salary.

President Ackerman of the State
Normal is, scripturally speaking, a just
man. When the board of regents ten
dered him an increase of salary, from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year, he declined
with thanks. He takes the position
that $4,000 is ample compensation for
the position and in justice to the sal
aries that are paid to the faculty and
men in similar positions. The work
OF the school is being carried on in
a very satisfactory manner, being con-
fined absolutely to the education of
school teachers for the public schools,
with no frills or side issues. No de-
ficits are created and the dormitory
is conducted on good business basis,
in fact, has surplus of money in the
bank.
