in politics was in 1908 when as a

That was the year when the last des-

and controlling power of the repub-

ough Statement No. republicans in

it seems, spends more money per ca

believe the great fault is that we are
spending money from year to year on
temporary Improvements that have to
be made again the following year.

W. n. Matlock for the democratic
nomination for representative and j..
Alton Yeager. for the republican

the latest possibilities being discussed

both win respond.
SO far no democrat has announced
himself as an aspirant for legislative
honors but for the past few days
Matlock has been urged by friends of
both parties to be one Of the demo-
cratic nominees. He has not yet
made up his mind but is known to be
in a receptive mood. Lou Hodgen OF
Umap.ne and J. NJ. Scarborough OF
Hermiston are other possible demo-
cratic candidates.

for the assessorship to make their
ticket complete and for some time
