the Payne-Aldrich law was a better
tariff law than either the Dingle
law or the McKinley law. In a signed
editorial in the Outlook, on September
17, 1810, he declared the same thins.
Believing this, he would have vetoed
the Payne-Aldrich bill, would he?
"One Voter" also thinks it an out
rage that 100,000 voters in Callforni
who preferred Taft and La Follette to
Roosevelt, should have been allowed
even two delegates out of 26. eve
though Taft carried the district from
which the two delegates were allowed
him. He has nothing to say about the
eight delegates at large from Massa
chusetts which were stolen by Roose
velt. This Is a sample of the Bull
Moose idea of political honesty, and
justice and purity.
One Voter" would also settle the
contested seats ln the National con
vention by barring from any voice in
the convention those delegates whose
seats were contested. Out of 238 con
tests ' Instituted by Roosevelt, th
Roosevelt committeemen themselves
admitted over two-thirds were bogus.
Bull Moose honesty, however, requires
that those whose seats were contested
by these bogus contestants should be
barred from taking part ln organizing
the convention. Such a code of polltl
cal morals Is what might be expected
from a party which proposes to fight
the interests" of Wall street under
the leadership of Perkins and Munsey
and Dupont and Gary, and which pro

under the leadership of BUI Fllnn and

In this state we have had a Bull

few years ago, as a member of the
Legislature, expressly repudiated State
ment No. 1 and refused to vote for the
people's choice for IT. S. Senator.
The convention boss, who Is one of
their delegates to the convention at
Chicago, has been publicly charged
with having assisted Ormsby McHarg,
Roosevelt's contest manager, ln his at
tempts to get members of the Oregon
Legislature to repudiate their State
raent No. 1 pledge, after they had been
elected on that issue.
Another member of the convention is
an ex-Federal office-holder, whose re
appointment was defeated by Senator
Bourne because he was an enemy of
the Oregon system and an assistant of
McHarg.
Another delegate to their National
convention Is a defeated candidate for
National Republican committeeman,
who made a bitter fight on Jonathan
Bourne in the recent campaign.
Another delegate to their National
convention was one of the hold-up
members of the Legislature of 1897.
Three members of the local conven
tion were defeated candidates for Jus-
tlec of the Peace in the late Republl
can primaries, and defeated candidates
for the Legislature and other offices
were in evidence all over the hall. It
was a convention whose personnel was
ot superior ln any respect to any of
the old-time conventions.
In the face of the situation as thus
presented, it would appear that the
time has come for a distinct separation
of the sheep from the goats. The
Roosevelt party in Oregon up to date
a a bobtailed party and a large number
of its members want it so to remain
They don't want a distinct third party
ticket for fear they may lose votes by
it. This is putting their campaign on
high moral plane. They want to
teal in with a few of the offices under
the Republican label. A few so-called
Republican candidates want to catch
Roosevelt votes by playing the same
game, and their "dignity" Is hurt by
the "impertinence" of the Republican
committee in asking that they come
out from under cover.
This old-time subterranean political
game is out of date. A vicious and ut
terly malignant war is being made on
the Republican organization and the
National Administration. Republican
voters have a right to know where Re
publican candidates stand ana they in-
end to know. under present con
ditions we have no political offices to
vote upon except members of Congress
and President and partisan politics
count for less than ever before, but
Taft men and Roosevelt men and La
Follette men all are interested ln
knowing whether their candidates have
the courage to come out in the open, or
whether they intend to go through the
campaign skulking under cover. If
Republican voters and Republican com
mitteemen cannot smoke them out, we
may depend that the Democratic can
didates will do so before the campaign
is over. "ANOTHER VOTER."
Clearing: Judicial Atntoaphere.
DUNDEE, Or.. Aug. 6. (To the Ed
itor.) In the language of the late Sen
ator Nesmith, whose memory is cher
rished by the old pioneers, "I snatch a
few moments from my labor at the
plow while my team is resting at the
end of the furrow," to remark that
if more of our judges would speak up
like Judge McGinn did ln discussing
the Goodeve Juror case, there would be
little necessity for the recall of judges.
If our judges would let the plain
people know Just why no case Is ever
settled when either of the litigants has
the mqneyand the desire to carry it
on and up, it would tend to clear the
Judicial atmosphere. We can't expect
the lawyers to desire a rinai veraict,
as the more rain the more grass.
