"WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH . THAT SHALL HE REAP L A GRANDE HAS 11082 VOTFr ;V0LUM5.i"V LA GRANDE, UNION COUNTY. OREGON. FRIDAY. JUNE I. J 906. NUMBER 172 VIll HE FOOL II? .George A. Holmes, the independent candidate for the legislature, publishes in' the Elgin Reegrder an announcement that lie is not in favor of county division. When did he cjncluia' to "right, about face"? No sensible voter however, should credit the statement for a mom jnt; since it is contrary to reason and experience, Every ortfc will remember the strenuous efforts made" by the Union, people at the last cession of the legislature for a new county and tha Mr. Holmes was the loudest and most persistent ."fan"-of the bunch of lobbyists. ,." After defeat the Union ' pro claimed with smothered.curses and vin dictive language that it was by a tempor ary erevrse; that her people were more determined on division, and would renew the fight then and there and make the scheme the paramount issue of the next lection. Then, to fire the "Union heart" they heaped anathemas long and loud at McLeod, Pierce and Doobins, declaring that re-election would be impossible for either. And they have made good so far as within their power this mali cious threat-and every nerve is stained for it accomlishment Union's decks have been cleared of local candidates, the tingle policy of rule or ruin so - long pre valent there is in vogue and guerilla war fare resorted to. , For over twenty yeare Union has spent her energy and cunning in a factional and strictly locality struggle jealously and spite her. watchwords; and is it reasonable now to suppose that if there is any truth "about . this eleventh hour ''conversion" of Mr. Holmes, Union would tolerate him for a moment? No doubt is to be entertained but what she 'has obtained from him way down deep 'a binding 0' ligation, before her leading and astute citizens would desert their party politics and candidates to secure his can- didacv-withnut tha fnlrta. ' Naarlv nna hundred voters of the Union precmcts who pledged at the primary election and registration, tleir adherence to the prin ciples of parties-now petition Mr. Holmes to campaign as an independent, and among them such life long republicans 'as Honerable W. T. Wright and General Goodbrod, while Hol.nes is such a dyed- in- -he-wool democrat. If there is no county division in bis candidacy, why are there no signers on his petition from other precincts than. Cove and Union? But it is a well known fact that at the signing of his petition, he avowed hie partizan feeling and ' fealty to county divi sion, , openly and above board, and thus the reason was assigned for the movement Why then this pretended change ? Does Union propose to induct this man in the office by sheer deceit and recognized fraud upon the tax-payer and voters ? While that bailiwick gave Mr. Haworth a large vote at the primaries, it has now developed that it wae simply a scheme to defeat McLeod, and it succeed ed. Mr. Haworth did nothing up to the time of the Holmes petition to merit his betrayal by those Union republicans. It i further disclosed that they never in tended his election because they knew tney could ' not use him for legislative purposes, Thi same with Mr. Rothschild.

CLEAVER. Cashier DIRECTORS WC BROWN. WM. MILLER. GEORGE PALMER. J. ICAVINESS C T BACON GEO. UbLXAVUt, iurnuvuiu, r..i.rivunM . T. J. SCROGGIN Therefore, if Mr, Holmes is not in sym pathy with Union' pet hobby, he need not expect any vote there, since either Haworth or Rothschild could do as much for them as he in the legislature outside of their pat measure. But secession has its tainted and de based attributes whether National or iocah deceit, effrontery and' . cunning with the unblushing claim that 'the end justifies the the means" however nefarious tie object No reason' will be assigned the voter thus imposed upon, save the old saw ?'that all is fair in 'war and politics" and a new subterfuge is improvised each' successive election to accomplish the same ends. So "they can foal some people" all " the time"' over there that has been thLir record for years. T,ie courts permit even sworn statemints o be impeached by the wit nesses contrary admissions made on other oootsions. and as Mr.. Holmes' former statements and conductare so at variance with his presenf'published" attitude, they impeach him in the eyes of every think ing man, as well as to remind one of the verity of the question: Can a leopard change his. spot or the Ethiopean his skin? Well, hardly. Finally, it may be readily seen that Union' great hope ie that in the struggls between, the candi date of the people's choice at the primary election, there may be in defiance to the spirit of fair election, and in the fold of chicanery and craft, a chance for Holme to slip in, and thus her "friend at court" is secured within the legislature capable of representing her heart sol desire-that of a new county seat, where hat dilap idated and spiteful old town may once more enjoy the "glory of former year may chin a its county Mat with- bar cherished dinky railroad, rotten old hotel accomodation and-. backwoods court facilities so distasteful to the new and better generation and progressive citizen ship of a greater Union caunty. - Be not deceived, voters be not little, children. The animal may don a lion's skin, but the tame old characteristics of th jack are still there to proclaim th brute's true natur.' '. ..

His offc is besieged with physicians and health in spectors who differ with him. The major, ity agreed that it is exceedingly danger ous to permit meat from deseaeed cattle to be sold. All agreed that it wae hard to tell if the infection is local or general Whaien said "It would be folly to destroy three million dollars worth of meat an nually just to suit long haired cranks. The meat can be eaten, and much money can be saved without harming anybody.
