THE QUESTION OF CALLS AND CARDS.
A Properly Engraved Card Of Good Quality Is one
Of the Unfailng Marks Of Refinement.

Is very popular among men. While
the women do most of the calling in
these busy days, it is necessary for
the men Of the family to have proper
calling cards for the women folks to
leave when making the rounds of visits.
Full Names Used on Cards.
A wife's card should have her hus-
bands full name on IL with "Mrs. "
prefxed. For instance IL should read

HOW VOTE STOOD
ON GOVERNORSHIP
WithycOmbe Was Nominated
by Less Than One-FOurth
of Primary Total

As candidates are coming to the front
for the governorship, four being already
slated, and as the old miner said: "more
in the stope.' few figures as to the
vote at the last primary election may
prove interesting. There were eight can
didates for the nomination on the re-
publican ticket in 1914. George c.
Brownell received total of 5,154 votes.
William A. Carter received 9,435; A.
M. Crawford s total was 1862 Grant
B. Dimick got 10,05S; T. t. Geer Is num-
ber was 5000; Chas. A. Johns receiv-
ed 1900; Gus. c. Moser s vote was a.
61s and Governor Withycombe led with
20,O53.
The total vote cast was SS,400.
OF the candidates running at that
time two are up again; Withycombe and
Moser. AS between them at the 1914
primaries Withycombe led by 5,435
votes.
In Multnomah county Moser led the
ticket with $3.50; Carter second, with
5,40S and Withycombe third with 1854
In Marion county the second in pop
ulation in the state, Withycombe led
the ticket with 1902 and Moser was
sixth with 800.
1t not probable these figures indi-
cate anything as to what the vote will
be at the primaries next May, for there
are two candidates new to the race.
Olcott made phenomenal run for Sec
retary Of state but this was in an off
year, no other state Officers being
elected. AS to Anderson, the candidate
from The Dalles his strength in the
state at large has never been tested.
He ran well in his own county, and was
