WORTHY MEN TO VOTE FOR.
Never have the voters of Wasco
and Sherman counties been given an
opportunity to vote for a legislative
ticket which is worthy of more en
thusiastic support than the one
placed in the field by the Republican
convention, and which The Chboni
cle proudly prints at the head of its
w1 1 rntio1 tnl nmm
VU1UVI kUt VVlUUllJt
Wasco county has had various
representatives in the state legisla
ture, some of them good, others fair,
and some, we are free to say, noted
only for an incapacity to accomplish
anything of value for their constitu
ents. One cause of this last named
condition is found in the method of
electing United States senators,
which consumes the time of the leg
islature, harasses the members, blocks
legislation, engenders bitter feeling,
and oft-times brings disgrace upon
the whole assembly. One of the
bad results of this method of choos
ing senators has been that members
of the . legislature were nominated,
not because of their especial fitness,
but because they would train in line
for some particular candidate, and
when this was done their usefulness
as legislators ended.
HaDDilv no such charge can be
made against the nominees in the
nresent instance. Thev are men of
solid worth, whose ability and integ
rity are on every side acknowledged.
Walter Moore, the candidate for
joint senator from Wasco, Sherman
and Gilliam counties, is one of the
best known men in this section of
Eastern Oregon. He was a resident
of "Wasco county before Sherman
was taken from her, and has retained
his interest in all things concerning
the mother county. He is a busi
ness man who has had dealings with
men in all pursuits and conditions
and has established for himself a
reputation for honesty and fairness
which commends him to the voters
of the district. At the last Republi
can lauo convention ne was cnosen
a member of the executive commit
tee. He is a man of ability, of force,
ana into nis nanas may saieiy ne
placed the interests of this constitu
ency. .
John Michell, the candidate for
joint senator from Wasco and Sher
man counties, needs no introduction
to the people with whom he has lived
since boyhood. ,'Mr. Michell ranks
as one of the able men in the Re-
the Seventh district as an able, con
scientious. industiious official. He
has represented the state and county
in the prosecution of offenders in
such a manner that satisfaction has
been given to all law-abiding citi
zens, so that when Mr. Jayne is up
for re-election the people will gladly
endorse him.
These are the candidates for
whom The Chbonicle asks you to
vote. Could better men be chosen ?
Is there' aught that can be said
against any of them which should
interfere with their election? They
are men, everyone of them, or un
questionable ability, and above all,
their characters are clean. The
the money will not be available un-
tl a new contract will have been
let, properly advertised, bonds given!
and . approved all of which will
take the greater part of a year or
more.
It is, moreover, a matter of haz
ard whether the 550,000 measure
win run the gauntlet of congress.
The
may very justly say they are tired
of passing measures for the Cascade
locks. Someone may arise and ask
"What is the matter with thoso peo
ple out there? One day they want
$20,000 in the form of a resolution,
We give it to them. Then they
asked $179,000 m the sundry civil
bill. We give it to them. Now
they want $50,000 more. They
must think congress hasn't anything
else to do but vote money for the
Cascade locks. They make me
tired ! "Why didn't the Oregondele
gation tack on the $50,000 to the
$179,000 in the sundry civil bill,
make it $229,000 and call it quits?"
We wouldn't blame any congress
man for uttering sentiments sush as
the above.
So then, we are .entirely depend
ant upon McBride's $50,000 bill, and
a hearty endorsement at the polls.

The situation is complicated this
year, because of the bitter factional
fight that exists in Multnomah
county, a , condition that instead of
being improved, is becoming daily
more aggravated. Whether an in
dependent Republican candidate is
named or not, the normal Republican
majority in Multnomah county will
be greatly reduced because of the
knifing that will be extensive car
ried on by those who opposed Mr.
Ellis' nomination. The Oregonian.
which has become the recognized
organ of the Simon crowd, has given
the tip. All the members of the
Simon gang are to scratch Mr. Ellis,
and thus assist in the success of the
Democratic or Populist nominee.
If an independent candidate is
named ho will receive the votes of
many people who, under the mis
taken idea that, they are doing a
creditable act, . are really working
hand in glove with the Democrats.
If no independent candidate is
named, Ellis will lose many votes
because of a desire of revenge and
an inability to see any issue
before the people than that of gold
and silver an issue very important
indeed, but not the overshadowing
question. 4
Multnomah county was - rebuked
again and again during the session
of the Republican conventions. It
must be rebuked again by the people
at the polls. The Republican voters
outside of Portland must rally
around the regular nominee in such
a way that he . will receive support
enough to overcome the slump in
Multnomah county. With the Re
publicans divided and the Democrats
voting solidly, as .they will, .for
Judge Bennett, the chances for a
Republican victory are hazardous
unless the loyal Republicans m the
district outside of Multnomah county
will give Ellis a hearty support.
This is not the time to slumber in
our tenis. It will be a sad com
mentary upon the intelligence of
our people if the great wdbl growing
country of Eastern Oregon will send
to the halls of congress a Democrat
a member of the party that has dealt
the wool-growing industry such a
deadly blow.. Yet this will be the
result if the pernicious teachings of
the Oregoniln are heeded.
THE HERALD IS RIGHT.
Antelope Herald: Eastern Oregon is
a unit on the Cascade locks question,
and both The Dalles papera should re
ceive the most hearty support and en
couragement in the creditable .fight
which they are making againBt the gov
ernment contractors, the Day Bros., for
the stupidity, dishonesty, misrepresen
tation, and all round deceit which they
have been guilty of during the past few
months. There is a good sized "nigger
in the wood pile" down at the locks, and
we trust that The Dalles papera and the
citizens of Eastern Oregon in general
will keep on exposing the contractors
until the "nigger" aforesaid is routed
out from hia place of concealment.

Implements and Carrfages direct from the manufacturers, ship them out to the

editor of the Times-Mountaineer he
fought long and well for the princi
nle& of Republicanism, and when
circumstances now permit him to be
of service in the halls of legislation
the party for which he has labored
hastens to honor him with the nom
ination for joint senator. Mr.
Michell will be a recognized force in
the legislature, and his voice will
ring clear in advocating tne inter
ests of Wnsco and Sherman counties,
B. S. Huntington, whom, together
with Mr. Jones, the convention named
as joint representative, from "Wasco
and Sherman counties, is the best
nomination that could be made.
There is no man who is more fit be
cause of brains or character to rep
resent us in legislative halls than
Mr. Huntington. Of his ability
there is no question, his character is
unsullied, and he will enter into his
work with a vim and vigor that will
accomplish much for the people he
represents. Mr. Huntington is in
the front rank as a lawyer, as a citi
zen he is progressive, fair-minded,
and always ready to advance the
interests of the community. He
possesses the confidence of all classes,
who will be glad of an opportunity
to rvcte for him at the corring elec
tion. Mr. Huntington will make a
record in the legislature which will
be a matter of pride to the counties
that elected him.
F. N. Jones, the other candidate
for representative, is one of the
heavy stock owners in Wasco county,
He has been a resident of Wasco
county long enough to become thof,
oughly identified with its interests
and to be alive to its needs. Wasco
county is a stock growing commun-
ty, and it is only fair that the stock
interests should be Well represented,
as they will be in Mr. Jones. Thjs
gentleman may not be so well known
to people generally as the other can
didates named, but there are plenty
of people to vouch for his ability
and fitness to represent Wasco and
Sherman counties in the legislature.
