Republicans nor Democrats but who
are for themselves AMI themselves
alone. They are the men who must
hide behind party organization and
machinery in their attempts to carry
out their nefarious political schemes
for influence and power at the state
house.
For these men to question Cover
nor Carlson's Republicanism after
their many crooked bipartisan deals,
that prove them neither Republicans
nor Democrats but simply cheap, self
seeking politicians, is as amusing as
the funniest joke from Judge" or
puck"
If Samuel d. NICHOLSON and the
members of the Denver bipartisan
machine are true-blue Republicans
why couldn't Mr.. Nicholson have sup
ported Governor Carlson at the Re-
publican Assembly as logically as he
can support him after the Primaries? :?
| If Samuel d. Nicholson and his
supporters, the members of the Den
yer bipartisan machine and paid poll
tical agents outside of Denver, are so
anxious that Colorado stays in the
dry column why weren't they will
ing to make good their declaration in
favor of dry" Colorado by rally
ing to the support of the man who
championed the cause of prohibition
before the people of his state secured
their favorable verdict in 1914?
! If Samuel d. Nicholson and the
Denver bipartisan machine are as
loyal Republicans as they claim to be
why did they permit the Republican
Assembly, which they aver they con-
trolled, to unreservedly endorse Gov
ernor Carlson's Administration, and
then Immediately allow it to repudi-
ate Governor Carlson by giving Mr.
Nicholson it's high vote?
If Mr.. Nicholson and his supporters
members of the Denver bipartisan
machine, are staunch Republicans
and dyed-in-the-wool prohibitionists
where existed and fair or logical rea.
sons for Mr.. Nicholson to run against
Republican governor, elected by
200 majority, and against a pro.
hibition governor, who carried Colo.
RADIO to dry" victory by Il ,0OO
majority?
There were no fair or logical rea.
sons for Mr.. Nicholson to oppose
Governor Carlson since Mr.. Nichol.
sons supporters praised Governor
Carlson's Administration in the re.
solutions adopted by the Republican
Assembly.

did the same thing two years ago.
The bipartisan machine in Denver,
which trades in votes and parties as
fighting him and threatens to go to
the Democratic party If he is nomi-
mated. None of these interests sup
ported him before.
The old-line political machines in
many counties of the state are oppos-
ing him in the primary this year. They
did the same thing two years ago.
No New Opponents
The disgruntled oflice-seekers over
the state, disappointed over not re-
ceiving fat political jobs, are finding
fault and fighting. Most of these peo-
pie supported one of his opponents
two years ago.
The Denver Post and few other
newspapers over the state are criti-
cising and opposing. All these with
out exception, so far as we know, op-
posed Carlson two years ago.
Find a man, If you can, who voted
in the primary two years ago for Carl
son who will vote against him this
time. Look him over and you will
find a personal grievance. But you
won't find many of these people.
Count the folks in any little neigh
borhood who did not vote for Carlson
in the primary two years ago who
will support him this year. Multiply
the number by 10000 little neigh
borhoods in the state and you will
begin to see where the Carlson vote
is coming from this year.
People For Carlson
The People are for Carlson.
The People feel that the State
needs. is entitled to, two more years
of the efficient business-like govern
ment which they can expect under
Mr.. Carlson.
The People, big majority of them
in the Republican party, will vote for
Mr.. Carlson if they vote.
And therein lies the danger. Pri-
maries are unromantic affairs. Pri-
maries lack the pulling power of the
picture shows. Few people go to the
primaries. We have so many elec-
tions people get tired of voting.
You Vote Tuesday
But if You are interested in the re-
nomination and reelection of Mr..
Carlson; if you appreciate Good Gov
ernment and would reward Good Ser
vice. don't fail to vote at the Primary
this year. Get your family and your
neighbors to vote at the Primary.
Get your car or your horse and buggy
out and take few voters to the Pri-
mary.
The Primary is Tuesday, Septem-
ber 18th.
In all who want Mr.. Carlson for
Governor will go out and vote at the
Primary, he will be renominated and
reelected by large majority.
The Ordway new era., 1916-09-08
VOTE TUESDAY

1t is more your duty to go to
the polls and vote your primary
election choice than it is to vote
at the November general cleo
ton.
If you do your duty at the
primary, no matter which par
ty you belong to, you will cause
to be nominated the best men
from your party.
If you stay at home Tuesday,
no matter whether you be
Democrat or a Republican, you
may have men nominated for
whom you would not cast a
vote at the General election.
If you leave it up to "the
other fellow" in your party and
your neighbor leaves it up to
"the other fellow" in his party,
those two "other fellows" may
nominate men Objectionable to
both of you. If you do the nom
mating you pave the way for
the right men for the office.
If the best element in the Re
publican party and the best ele-
ment in the Democratic party
name the candidates the county
and state are bound to have
good men in office no matter
how the general election may
go.
If the worst element in the
Republican party and the worst
element in the Democratic par
ty name the candidates no pow
er on earth could give you the
proper men for you to elect in
November.
Tuesday is the primary. Go
and vote.

Carlson's Visit Here

Governor George A. Carlson reach
ed Ordway Monday evening to find
band in waiting and a large church
seated to its full capacity awaiting
his address which was delivered
shortly after s o'clock that evening
in the Evangelical church. He talk
ed for one hour and forty minutes and
not one interruption did he have from
his audience nor did he take time
from his vigorous speech in all that
time to even take sip of water which
he had had provided. He was there
to deliver a message to the people and
he put it straight from the shoulder
without hesitation. He knew his is
sues were right: he felt that he had
administered over the affairs of this
state for almost two years in way
that had been approved by the 'peo-
Pile" even tho the Denver ring, the
brewery interests, the crooked poll
tician, the disgruntled office seeker
and a few of their kind were fighting
him, bitterly But he faced his au
dience in Ordway that night and at
the Forder Labor Day celebration in
the afternoon, and laid bare the me-
thods of the ring which is endeavor-
ing to bring defeat on him at the pri-
mary.
! Governor Carlson's nomination is
not a sure thing by any means but
the Republicans of Colorado will
make a grave mistake if they fail to
nominate him. He is fighting the
battle for the people but had he play
ed into the hands of these fellows who
would overthrow all that is good in
Colorado his nomination would never
On the other hand had he played to
that sort of following the people
would not want him. He is the "com-
mon peoples candidate and governor,
and they should see to it that he is
given a chance to go before the voters
at the November election.
I Governor Carlson reached Forder
by way of Hugo Monday afternoon
and made the principal address at
the big Labor Day celebration Mon
day afternoon. 1t was late when the
speech was ended and he was imme-
diately brought to Ordway where, fol-
lowing a dinner at the Foley hotel,
he delivered an address before one of
the largest and most interested au-
diences ever assembled in Ordway.
The next morning he left for Denver
after a conference with a local news
paper man lasting until one o'clock
in the morning at which time some
campaign matter was outlined and
sent out to refute charges made by a
certain publication in Denver of which
I he knew nothing until he reached
/ Forder. One of these groundless
charges was to the effect that Carlson
had vetoed the Land Loan Act at the
last session of the legislature.
1.-The statement which I find cir
culated by a Denver newspaper thru
out eastern Colorado to the effect that
I vetoed the farm loan act at the last
session of the state legislature,
brand fatty as a willful. malicious
lie," was the declaration he made
here.
II didn't in any way prevent the
passage of such a measure as there
was such a law already on the statute
books which was then in the hands
of the supreme court for a decision as
! to its legality. 1t was declared un-
constitutional because it provided for
the loaning of money by an unbonded
land board instead of by the bonded
state treasurer" he concluded

The Ordway new era., 1916-09-08

In the summer of 1914 Mr.. Geo. A.
Carlson entered the race for Governor
in the Republican primary He came
out frankly for prohibition and law
and order. He was young man, a
lawyer, district attorney in North
ern Colorado. He had little money of
his own, no financial hackers. and the
support of few politicians. He was
little known over the state. His chief
assets were industry. good principals,
and a good name.
Mr.. Carlson's opponents in that
campaign were two of the best-known
men in the state-men of wealth, of
financial backing. and with long
list of political supporters
Mr.. Carlson was nominated by a
fair majority, much to the surprise
of two thirds of the state
When the election came on he had
for his opponent Colorado's grand old
man-one of the strongest figures
Colorado has ever known-Thos NJ.
Patterson. The Patterson campaign
was backed by strong political line
ups and unlimited funds.
Again Mr.. Carlson was victorious,
being elected Governor of Colorado
by nearly 10000 ma ajority.
Mr. Carlson had neither campaign
funds nor political machine-but he
stood for Principles and the People
elected him.
No Supcriors
As a governor, Colorado has had
few equals-no superiors.
The administration has been mark
ed for its constructive legislation, its
economical, business-like manage
ment, ana its high moral tone.
Under his administration the SOW
ereignty of the state was restored,
labor troubles settled, and law and
order established.
The credit of the state was re-
stored.
Deficits of past extravagant ad-
ministrations were paid off, every ap-
preparation Of the Legislature will be
paid, and the two-year period under
Carlson will close with more than
100000 in the treasury. A record
unknown in Colorado for many years.
Many Good Things
A prohibition law was passed and
has been so well enforced that all
political parties now find it expedient
to stand for the principle.
A Workman's Compensation Act
was passed which, under able admin
istration, has been OF great benefit to
both labor and the industries. Strikes
and lockouts have become rare.
The Public Utilities Commission
has been recognized and given power.
The present commission has done
more for the relief of the people from
inequalities and injustices of rates

NIGHTFALL
(By James Lockhart)

(by JAMES LOCkudTIJ
The sun, it's face, hides back behind
the range,
Then dusk enshrouds all space below;
And outlines on the plains retreat
from view
AS from the clouds the sunrays go;
And fainter grow the lines where
plains meet sky
The lines which mark a domains
bounds,
Where satisfaction and contentment
reign,
Away from strife and city sounds;
In groupes the cattle closely lie and
rest,
AS nightfall further claims its right,
And wide apart lamps CLEAN from
rancher's homes,
And stars flash luster into night;
A coyotes yelp conflicts with soli-
tude,
A rabbit seeks hiding place;
Then all about is still, and once again,
Peace and quiet claim all space.

Should Have No Opponents
On the face of the record recited- -
and on the evidence advertised in the
resolutions adopted in every Republi-
can County Assembly in the state, and
| in the State Republican Assembly
held at Denver, you would think that
grateful and united party would
present Mr.. Carlson's name before the
primary without opposition.
But such is not the way of repub-
lies, and Colorado politicians.
bitter contest is on for the Re
publican nomination. Mr.. Carlson has
very formidable opponent
Mr. Carlson enters the primary con-
test again without money, without the
iinanciers who back political cam
paigns who think that they control
elections. He had none of these be-
fore, and yet he won.
Best Business Governor
But this time Mr.. Carlson has the
reputation of having made the best
business governor Colorado has had
in many years. He has the active
support of the Anti-Saloon League,
the w. C. T. u, and the Minister'S
Alliance in every town in the state.
He has the enthusiastic support of
practically every man and woman in
Colorado who has in years past be-
lieved sincerely in prohibition. He
has the confidence of the farmer, the
mechanic, the laborer, and the respect
of all classes.
He still has the good name he car
ried into office, unsullied and unfair
designing press and disappointed poll
ticians who have been unable to con-
troll his administration, and his name
this time is known and respected in
every home in the great State Of Colo
RADIO.
Machine Against Him
Mr.. Carlson has for his opponent
in the primary a high-class man-in
every respect the equal, if not the
superior, to the gentleman who heads
the Democratic ticket. He is far bet
ter than the crowd that is backing
him in the primary.
Line up the different classes and in
terests in the party-and out for that
matter-who are fighting Mr.. Carlson
and look them over.
/ Every brewer, eX-salOOn keeper,
owner of saloon property, attorney for
liquor dealers associations, and all
those who have for years past had
business reasons for opposing proh1-
bition, are fighting Carlson. They

were present, for at the first notes of
"Tbe. Old Historic Temple" every stu
dent stood at attention, this being the
accepted college anthem.
The vocal solo, ''Sing On," by Miss
Lelo MeCaddam, revealed the wide
range of her rich lyrice soprano voice.
The clear tones of her voice with her
pleasing personality were irresistible
and the audience chose to have her sing
on. She responded with a pretty little
song entitled "SuppOsing," which
brought a storm of applause.
The Ladies chorus sang several more
songs, one of which, a lullaby by Chad
wick, was especially good.
Gus Anderson gave humorous read
ing, "Modern Education" which took
so well that he was compelled to re-
spond with second which was of such
tragic nature that sighs could be
heard all about the room as the expect
ed disaster (Which didn' t Occur) was
about to happen.
The closing number of the concert by
the combined clubs was a wedding
chorus and was very fitting, as the two
clubs united in singing it.
On the whole the concert was the
best heard in Salem for sometime, and
it is hoped that another concert in
Salem next year will follow.

WILLAMETTE GLEE
CLUBS FINE CONCERT
Church Filled to Capacity and
One and All Delighted
by Music

The Willamette Glee Club concert
filled the spacious First Methodist
church last evening, proving that music
hath charms to dispel thoughts of a
rainy night, for when the two clubs
appeared on the rostrum shortly after
500 o'clock, nearly all Of the seats
were taken.
The clubs lived up to their reputa-
tiOn as dispensers of classic music and
the program from beginning to end was
much appreciated by the audience
judging from the number of encores.
The opening number, Bohemian
Girl" -Gypsie chorus, by the two
clubs en- semble, gave rich promise of
the feast to come, a promise that was
faithfully and fully kept.
The piano solo by Miss Faye Janette
Bolin showed that she is a careful stu
dent of technique. The selection was
difficult one, yet her Interpretation
of it was exceptionally good
The next number, a vocal solo by
Miss Louise Benson was a joyous spring
song and her smiling pleasant manner
well fitted the selection. As an encore
she gave humorous solo entitled, "An
Essay On the Camel.
The Willamette Men IS Glee club made
hit with the audience with their rem
dition of John Philip Sousa s "The
Stars and Stripes Forever" and in
response to an encore sang ''Little
Jack Horner" in which the roaring
bassO profundoes could be heard to
good advantage.
Miss Esther Cox's piano solo, the
"Spinning Song" was so well inter
preted that one could imagine the whir
Of the spinning wheel. In response to
an encere she gave the light tripping
song "To SPRING" by Grieg.
The Willamette quartet sang several
selections, among them a "Negro Med
ley" in which an opportunity was
given them to introduce a minstrel eff
feet, the deep bass voice of Harry
Bowers showed well here, while Roger
Lyons, baritone, also did well as quar-
tet soloist.
The Ladies chorus gave two num-
bers that called for an encore.
The second part of the program op-
ened with the appearance of the two
clubs, rendering Sullivan's "Phe Lost
Chord" This number marked the high
point of the concert, for its rendition,
and pipe organ and piano accompani-
ment caused it to be considered the
best number on the program where all
the voices were together.
The next number, a piano solo by
Harry Mills. "Rhapsodie Hohgroiset
XIV" the Hungarian national air was
blending of the militaristic with the
wild, care free life of the gypsie, and
Mr.. Mills Interpretation of it was that
of a master musician.
When the Willamette Mems club sang
their next number, one was able to dis
cover how many university sturents
