Poktxand. Or., March 19. To the
Editor. My attention bas just been
called to yonr recent editorial entitled
"Moody or McCamant," in which you
compliment me by tbe mention ol my
name in connection with the republican
nomination lor congress in the second
district this year. I desire to say that I
am not, have not been and will not be a
a candidate lor this nomination, nor do
I think that there is or will beany rival
ry between Portland and Eastern Oregon
on the subject. I am of tba opinion
that the Multnomah delegation will be
onanimously in favor of Mr. Moody's
re-election.
Perhaps I may be permitted to add,
that to (ar from criticising Mr. Moody (or
his vote on the Puerto Rican bill, I am
in accord with the potition he has taken
on that measure, and have written a
letter ex pressing my approval of his ac
tion. Wallace McCamant.
Tuddi il I'errto Klc.i,
"The Washington dispatch published
in the Oirgonian of the 15th does not
properly represent my attitude on the
Puerto Rican bill," eaya Representative
Tongue. "I voted in the caucus and in
the House to reduce tbe tariff from 25
to 15 per cent, and to limit the operation
of the bill to tao years. ' I was one of
tbe most strenuous advocates of the lat
ter amendment. But it ia asserted by the
opponents of the bill tliat this small
tariff npon the necessary food products
in Puerto Rico will be oppressive lo the
poor people of that island. I have said
that if thia it true, it might be well (or
the teoat to consider a proposition to
admit auch article duty free, and in
crease the tariff 25 per cent on sugar
and tobacco, a the entire crop of three
articles, it il laid, hat been cooght by
the trusts and speculators.
"The only reason that jastitiea the
House bill or that secured the votes
necessary to pas it, including my own,
I the necessity of raising revenue to
maintain government in Puerto Rico,
temporarily, nntil the people can re
cover lromtheir present distressed con
ditions. With nirmal conditions re
stored, snd other revenue measures en
acted, commercial interconrse between
Puerto Rico aud the United States
should and will he as free a between
Oregon and California."
A Naw Anil-Hatanle Party.
A prohibitionist politician this morn
ing banded to a politician of tbe old,

the following application for member
ship in the prohibition party, with space
(or applicant's name, precinct, county,
street and post office address:
"I desire that you should enroll my
name as In favor of the annihilation of
the saloon business, and, therefore, as a
member ol the prohibition party."
The old liner filled the blank spaces
on tbe card with his name, precinct and
so forth, added two or three words,
erased two or three and handed it to the
prohibitionist who read:
"I desire that yon should enroll my
name as in favor of the annihilation of
the devil, sin, death and bell, and,
therefore as a member ol the Anti-Satanic
party."
Not a rromiMuon 1'anrflttata."
"I will not allow my name to be used
by either side or by any (actions, and
will not alio the subject to take a
particle of my time or thought," laid
Governor deer to the Salem Journal In
answer to a question as to hit candidacy
(or United Slates tcnator to succeed
Senator McBrl le. Conlir.uinj he taid :
"The people have elected me governor,
and have not asked ma to mn for aenav-
tor, and it would be unfair (or me to da
ao, or lo do anything else than give them
Ihe best service I am capable of la tha
position t which I wit elected."
Thsi't the kind tit a governor Oregon
bas. He sliil insists on not being
"promiscuous candidate."
