TO THE PUBLIC lloultun, Or., May 27. W08. In Justice lo myself and the eoeisllr-la ot Colnmlda C tinty, I with to make a statement In retard to the (jf in ! a.kiuet Mr. V. II. I'owell y E . Lewii, socialist speaker, wh has been speaking in Columb a County tlie past week. The charge were that Mr. Powell has notllied a laloovikteper ot lioble, that if he diil not support him at the coming June election, that his place of business would U elo-ed, or words to (hat el feet. Being doubtful as to tb truth o( th statement, and bating Uiat It would be thrown at the socialists alter the speak er left the county, I went to Gobi on the morning train of. May Wtli, to nseef tain the (acta, but found Mr. Hunter the saloonkeeper In question, very sick and knowing his physical and men tal condition, he would be incapable of giving intelligent answers to a question and being informed by hit sou on en tering the room, that he was Incapable of hearing. I therefore did not liav tlie opportunity to talk with him, at though I spent some time in the m k room in conversation with bis wife who is also my sister. I therefore asked his bartender, one of his ton, whether or not he had re ceived the notice stated above, and be sal I jet, but indirectly. I also visited Mr. Butts' saloon and put the same question to the bartender at that place and received the same an swer. As Mr. Powell would not allow me to give my testimony at the Yank ton meeting, I take this opportunity to place in vac II and the socialists right E. II. GIUTY. sworn ana iulwnbea belore roc, a Notary Public, for the State of Oregon dated this 2rth day of May, 19(18. D. T. GKKPES, Notary Public. The statement published bv Mr. Girtyinthis issue is an adveitisement and the editor is in no way responsible for it. This paper has not advocate the election of Mr. Powell, but neither has it had anything to ssr sgainstbiui personally. V hen the Socialist speaker was here he made certain accusations against Mr. Powell, and at the Yankton meeting Mr. Powell met hiin and de nied bis statements, producing a letter signed "0. E. Hunter" which stated that no attempt had been made to in timidate him. Mr. I'owell took further occasion, at the Republican meeting at Hoalton to emphatii ally deny the ao cusations made against him. This much in fairneesand because Mr. Powell .: It , . . win nave no opportunity to answer prior to the election, which occurs next Monday. CARD OF THANKS.
