A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.

Experience under the direct primary
in this state proves that an early can
dldacy and continued activity give a
dc cided advantage to a candidate for
u state office. Overlooking this fact,
many politicians predict that, while
Geo. A. Lee, of Seattle, is now well in
the lead in the race for the republican
nomination for governor, he will not
be able to KEEP his place from this
time on and that he will ultimately fail
to win the nomination.
Those who have studied the primary
sy stem, however, feel confident that
Lee has followed the wise course and
they believe that because he is strong
young and active, he will be able to &c
enough faster and sustain hard cam
paign enough longer to continue in the
lead and finally win. They point to the
fact that Governor S. G. Cosgrove, an
old man, started his fight two years
before the primaries in the first pri-
mary campaign in this state and con.
tinued his activities up to the election
and won because of that method.

The greatest naval battle of history
greatest in the number of vessels en-
gagged, greatest in weight and destruc-
tive power of armament, greatest in
the loss of life, greatest in the destruc-
Itlon of sea going craft, was fought
Wednesday of last week off the coast
of Jutland between portions of the
German and British fleets. 1t seems
that the German fleet made bold dash
out of the North sea at first striking
"a small portion of the watching and
waiting British fleet, that was speedily
reinforced and the terrific contest
continued between the leviathans of
the sea throughout the night, crushing
and destroying ships and sending
thousands to sudden death. 1t is the
first time during the present war that
great fleets of the contending powers
have met in death grapple, and while

Oroville is not in class with Seattle
and Spokane when it comes to a great
white way, but through Mr. Hedgers
efforts the town gave mighty good
limitation of a well lighted city dur
ing the celebration. And few of the
smaller towns of the state could make
a better electric light display than our
streets presented Wednesday night.
At the Commercial Club luncheon,
last Thursday, Otto A. Case, of Seattle,
who happened to be in town on that
date, was called upon by President
Lewis for few remarks, and made
one of the most inspiring and interest
ing addresses that the club member
ship have ever had the pleasure of list
ening to. Mr.. Case has an easy manner
OF expressing himself, lavened by hap
by vein of humor, and his remarks
were listened to with wrapt attention
and at their close he was given the
glad hand over and over again as a
mark of appreciation.

POISON FOR GRASSHOPPERS.

Paris Green, ID. Lemon extract, OF
Directions for use-Mix the bran
Paris green and salt, while dry in tub
or tight box, put lemon extract in one
quart of water and pour over the mix
ture, add enough water only to make 4
dry mash that will crumble from the
hand Sow this broadcast as you would
grain, using only about 10 pounds to
the acre. If the sowing is carefully
done the poison is so thinly distributed
that stock or poultry may run over the
ground without danger. Sow only
where grasshoppers are present and
repeat when necessary at intervals of
about five days. Grasshoppers die in
about five days after eating the poison
but do no damage in the meantime. The
best results are obtained by sowing
very early in the morning.

Into the battle the greater number OF
vessels and the heaviest weight or guns
|yet the result was creditaDle TO the
German navy, even if, as it appears,
the Germans retired from the contest
as they inflicted for greater loss on
their opponents than they suffered
themselves. 1t gives the Germans more
confidence in their navy, and is sur
iprise to other nations, as England mas

Iinvincible at sea. Dispatches state that
fourteen British vessels, large and

German vessels suffered the same fate

Among the visitors in town this. week

for congress from the Fifth district.
Mr.. Murphy is pioneer resident of
Spokane, and one of the cleanest and
most estimable gentleman in the state.
His record in private and public life
during his long residence in Spokane
is without a flaw. He is successful
business man in modest way, and
that success is due to just and upright
dealings with his fellow men. Should
he receive the nomination at the pri-
|maries-and no mistake would be
made if he did--his election would
surely follow. And if such good fortune
should come about this district will be

This paper goes to press before the
cago has finally passed through the
pains of travail and given birth to a
candidate for president. Chicago, this
week has been a maelstrom of hectic
political excitement, with republican
and progressive conventions in session
one bent upon forcing Roosevelt to the
fore and the other split up over nu-
merous candidates. If some compro-
mise is not reached, and two candi-
dates are nominated, that means four
years more of Wilson, and the bulk OF
the people are holding up their hands
and praying Good Lord save us from
such calamity"
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1916-06-09

In some quarters it is urged that the
|progressives at Chicago nominate
Roosevelt and then insist on the re-
publican convention endorsing the
nomination. There would be just as
much sense in waiting until the demo-
Gratis nominate Wilson, and then ask
the republicans to endorse the choice
If Roosevelt is first nominated by the
|progressives it will be distinct party
nomination, and for the republicans
to endorse that action would be to
surrender party organization.
