THE LAST DRIVE.

The managers OF the present Red
Cross campaign propose that this be
the last drive. They believe there IL
ample evidence that the people OF On
tario need but be told that the Red
Cross headquarters are open for war
funds and that the people will come
forward.
Ontario certainly can soon take
that position. That 257 people
would voluntarily walk into an office
and give over $4,000 in one day with
out pressure OF any kind Is n tribute
to their generosity and their patriot
ism.
The Argus wants 10 congratulate
those who advanced the volunteer
day idea. II was a true test OF the
city and we want 10 echo the senti-
ment OF a prominent citizen who as
he watched the hands OF the clock
pass one hundred dollar mark after
another declaredi sft

might be true were the ordinary
politician was involved 1t did not ap-
ply to West. for he is no ordinary
politician and with his ability to
grab the spot light and confound his
opponents, he, too, campaigns all the
time.
OF course there are many to view
his latter proposition as the only
logical solution available for the
dilema in which in which he would
ordinarily have been involved by his
first proposition to withdraw In favor
OF McNary.
In view OF Senator McNary's record
which beside making good at Wash
ington includes an appointment TO the
Supreme bench OF the state by DEM
ocratic governor, now none other
than his opponent for office; and An
appointment to the United states
Senate By . Republican Governor.
with qualifications which meet with
the approval of men as different as
West and withycombe, McNary him
self is somewhat unusual and there
fore Oregon is apt TO witness most
interesting campaign this fall.

here today with much the same cere-
