Pointing ont the presence of Bourne
In the present campaign is instigated
V by selfish, motives only, that state con
victs had better be building roads' for
fee state than working for a private
. ; Corporation making barrel staves, af
firming and reiterating , with vehem-
nee tnat ms auegiance is wuu an
eople made statutes on the books
f Oregon and that the only way
o have them repealed or permit their
repeal is by the people who made
khem,'Jay Bowerman the republican
candidate for governor' last night
.Wade himself many rotes by a brief
speech at the fair grounds. Mr. Bow
erman Is not an orator but he is a
forceable talker. His address was
short but to the point. ;
West Also Heard.
Oswald West spoke and dwelt on his
political career. He pointed out- some
of the things he did while cleaning up
the state land board. He referred to
what he did as railroad commissioner
and again what he Is doing to defeat
the assembly plan. His address too
was brief. He. like Bowerman,. paid
his compliments to the character of
his opponent and then went off on po
litical tangents. Mr. West emphasized
what he had done in the capacity of
railroad commissioner, but It was Mr.
Bowerman who later showed how he,
Bowerman had been responsible for
the creation of a law that made the
commission possible. 1
' Mr. West promised to publish at a
nearby date, data showing that the
railroads had doubled their earnings
since the establishment of the commis
sion, his purpose being to counteract
the charges that the" railroads could
not financially bear the rate reduc
tions and wage Increase.
Rousing enthusiasm followed the
speeches and the band marched and
the Republicans sang B-o-w-e-r-m-a-n
that's Jay, while the children Joined
In. It was a signal success and made
the closing night of the fair one of
. the nols'est and enthusiastic of any of
the week. .
