REPUDIATED.

by their votes In the election Mon
day the electors OF Maine repudiated
the policies OF the present democratic
national administration. They de-
feated Senator Charles F. Johnson,
who as a member OF the finance COM
mittee In the senate helped to frame
the present Underwood tariff. Moth
ing could be more convincing than
this for II demonstrates that the peo-
pie of this country do not desire, as
a permanent policy the doctrine OF
tariff for revenue only as admins
tered by a party which at heart be-
lieyes in free trade,
Significant as Is the above result to
republicans II does not give any great
er cause for rejoicing than the return
of the progressiyes TO the republican
party,
For the past few months the ques-
tion has been. where will the pro-
gressives go?" Judging from the re-
suits in Maine that question has
been given a decisive answer. They
are not coming back" They are
back. OF course there are few
progressives who will not return, for
some of them were democrats before
1919, but their number was negligi-
BILE as was evidenced by the vote in
Maine.
The result In Maine also furnishes
food for thot on the part of democrats
who have been deprecating the char
acter of the campaign being waged by
Mr.. Hughes. Tho they sent their
very best campaigners, including the
redoubtable Champ Clark and near
ly every member of the cabinet into
the Pine Tree state. the democratic
party did nothing but hold their par
ty vote.
Since the campaign in the north
east corner of the nation WAS fought
on strictly national lines with nation
al issues pressed to the forefront by
both parties there can be no doubt
concerning the temper of the people.
They have repudiated the democratic
administration and have paved the
way toward a return OF the republi-
can party to power. Long live the
republicans of Maine.

WORK FOR THE FAIR.

II there is one institution of which
Ontario and Malheur county has just
reason to be proud of IL is the Coun-
ty Fair and the organization which
is in charge. There is no other body
OF citizens In the county more pub
lie spirited There Is no aggregation
which has 80 generously given of its
time and talent for the public good
than the officers OF the Fair associa-
tion. They deserve success.
II the people OF ontario and the
citizens OF Malheur county would fur
thor their best interests in n practi-
cal manner there is nothing they can
do which would achieve this end to
better purpose than to give to the
fair officials that measure OF cooper
alton which their work merits. That
is all that is now needed to make
the fair the biggest success ever reg
lstered in this section.
The men In charge have provided
the exhibits. They have advertised
the fair widely and thoroly thruout
the county and In the adjacent por-
tions OF Idaho. They have provided
the amusement features needed and
have In fact left nothing undone to
gather together and complete an ex-
hlbitlon OF which IN city and county
may well be proud.
All this they have done without
hope OF financial reward. II has
been with them work OF public
pride. There II only one way In
which they can be repaid. that Is by
the success OF the fair II every cit
izen OF Ontario and Malheur county
will be present at the fair the desired
result will be reached. Every citi-
zen will get out II the men ana
women OF Ontario will devote few
minutes OF every hour from now un-
IN next Tuesday In speaking 10 his
or her neighbor about II. Get en-
thuslastic. You have reason for the
faith that the fair will be the biggest
and best ever held here. Tell your
nelghbor OF that fact and boost.

of Plans
ELECTRIC LINES
TO CARRY FOOD
Miles Bronson Brings
Family Here To
Dodge Plague

Miles Bronson. OF New York, man.
ager OF the electric division OF the
New York Central railroad while
in Detroit. Monday. said his railroad
is prepared for the strike as far as
keeping New York supplied with
food is concerned This is TO be
done through operation of the cleo
trio division, all trains in radius
of so miles being electrically
equipped. He says. further, that
they have been expecting a strike
for a year, and have prepared as
much as possible for it. Eighty per
cent of the railroads belong to the
railroad federation.
If | had my way" said Mr.. Bron-
son, II would employ good speakers
whose integrity could not be ques-
toned TO go about the country and
acquaint the people with the actual
conditions in the railroads. The
average pay OF the engineers, fre-
men. conductors and brakemen Is
$1,000 per year, while that OF the
office employees and others Ia $3.50.

people OF the United States will al

dustry Of the country. ! do not an
- frtl q
Of the country. | believe that they
will tie up one system al time.
The other idea is too stupendous TO
contemplate. What the men want
now Is not only the eight-hour day
and the pro rata basis for overtime,
but pay and a half for overtime, be-
side the decrease in hours. II pub
lie opinion could be formed. IL the
people knew anything about real
conditions. il would be the greatest
deterrent to strikes possible"
Mr.. Bronson came from New York
in a private car TO bring his four
children and their grandmother Ia
Eaton Rapids. An order had gone
forth in Yonkers, where he lives,
that any child stricken with lnfantile
paralysis would be Immediately re
moved to the city hospital, which is
the pest house. One of his children
contracted this disease number
Of years ago and has never fully re-
covered.
Mr.. Bronson left Monday night for
New York.
