Not in the memory OF the present
generation has their been a campaign
wherein the result was 80 long in
doubt. while the Argus no less re-
greats the defeat OF Charles Evan
Hughes, who II believes is the most
able candidates the party has ever
presented to the voters for consider

fully TO defeat. hoping that future
events may show II to have been In

II Is n strange commentory on our
American people to think that In the
east where both men were known
best. that the defeated candidate
should have received so strong u pre-
ference. Stranger still Is It that the
defeated candidate should have not

There are. however. several fea-
lures OF the election from which a
westerner may draw some comfort.
From this time forth this section of
the United States will receive some
consideration from the political mo-
guls OF the East Then. too. the
hydra-headed terror OF the hyphenate
vote should disappear for ever from
American politics.

THE DEDFEAT OF HILL.

In the defeat of Louis f, Hin as
county assessor the voters OF Malheur
county yindicated themselves. They
emphatically placed their stamp OF
disapproyal on his method of dealing
out personal yengence on those who
incurred his disfayor. They establ-
ished, as il should be. the principal
that all men shall be equal before
the courts OF justice.
The defeat of Mr., Hin, for whom
the Argus has no personal difference
but with whose methods we could
not agree, will re-establish the credit
OF the county with the men from
whom its people must secure the
needed funds for the development of
the unused lands.
Il is now up to Morgan Carlile,
who has been selected 10 succeed Mr..
Hill to demonstrate that the voters

BATTLE OF BALLOTS

1t was a Jolly. but intensely ser

the city hall last Tuesday evening to
read the bulletin secured by the Ore

board. As the result became more
doubtful and each side felt It's cham

bantering back and forth Both
republicans and democrats felt too
deeply to Jolly about II. and tho con-
cern was brayely banished. or better
was apparently disposed Of. deep
seated fears could be seen In the faces
OF all.
However this did not prevent those
present from enjoying a pleasant ev-
ening with their neighbors and the
waits between messages were filled
with brave attempts at wit and ban
ter. During the evening. too. the
women of the Episcopal guild served
waffles and coffee and this latter ele-

the audience. II they needed any stim

IT'S A GREAT GAME.

Worlds series may come aud go.
Great halfbacks may hang their
names In the foot ball hall OF fame
with sensational touch downs. but
after all once each four years their
lustre Is dimmed by the great old
American game OF politics.
After all. the fight for political
honors, for party perferment and po-
sitions OF power at the hands OF the
people has all other games OF chance
and skill eclipsed for nerve wrecking
excitement and intense thrills OF eX-
ultation at victory and depressing de-
spondeney at defeat,
However. thanks TO the saving
sense OF portions possessed by the
American people these battles end
with the counting OF the ballots. I'm
like our more mercurial neighbors.
the rejection of a favored party, or
the return OF one to power is quiet
ly accepted. No thots of revolution
or efforts al reprisal are entertained,
Victory or defeat Is just, "a part
OF the game"
II this were not the case popular
government, as we know II here in
the United States would not long eX-
list. This would be another Mexico,
torn by anarchy and internecine
strife.

Is TO AVOID CONFLICTS
By MELLIFICIA-August 2.

casted by the entertainment commit

less forethought, brook no plans for
the morrow.
Ushered in by the Ak-Sar-Ben cor
onation ball, the special seasons
opening event will also include a
supper at the Omaha club, following
the crowning of the king and queen
One month later, on November E. the
club will be the rendezvous of its pa
triotic members, when election re-
turns will be received there by pri-
vate wire.
New Years eve, which falls on
Sunday evening this year, supper will
be served at II o'clock, with a con-
cert until midnight-and dancing
thereafter.
The annual meeting of members
will take the form of dinner, Satur-
day, January 20, and one week later
there will be large dinner dance at
the club.
But it is Monday, February 10,
1917. to which the fashionable set is
looking forward with interest. That
is the date set for the Mardi Gras
ball, masque such as the local So
cial world has not enjoyed for many
a moon. Mosques will be off for the
midnight supper.
George Washington's birthday will
be observed as it has been each year.
There will be a dinner and a num-
Der of addresses.
With the calendar already studded
with these brilliant events when the

gree mark, it is augured that the COM
ing season will be one of unsurpassed
