IOIJ A HE ALWAYS WELCOME THE OBSERVER ends by heaping abutse upon members of tae "old guard." What we uuder 'staud by tue "old guard" is the Intel ligence of ttie republican party of a .few years ago. Some of theni became progressive republicans, like Ben Se'l i ling, while others of them remained ' true to the old order of things. Flagg, if our memory serves us right, was at one time an honored member of the "old guard." He was elected a nv.in . ber of the Oregon legislature when a member of the "old guard.' Lowell made several ineffectual attempts to break Into the United States senata as , a member of the "old guard.'' Lowell was a resident of Oregon some three years before he made his first race In 1 1895 when the single vote that was '.cast for him on joint ballot resulted I in the. defeat of Senator Dolph and ! the hold-up of the legislature for fof ! ty days. He has been in the race for senator since that memorable hold-up. i Our friend Flagg Is not unlike our j'frlend Lowell. Flagg has been a res- ; ldeut of EaBtern Oregon about Bix months, and we find him now a can ', didate for legislative honors. We do f not see how a man of such progres sive propensities as our friend Flagg 'tcan Bupport such a man as Lowell j when he has the opportunity to wield Ms powerful pen In the Interest of Ben Seling who is one of the foremost progressives In Hie state. Selling has served the people of tills state in the i:guiuiurts, ana wane mere tqoK a prominent part in the enactment of the progressive legislation now known as "the Oregon system." What Is the record made there by our friend Flagg or Mr, Lowell? Mr. Selling worked for and secured a reduction in the working hours of women and girls, despite the fact thnt he is the em- j ployer of many men and women. What (1b the record of Flagg and Lowell as J employers of labor or iii having as- BRUCE DENNJS Bdllor and Owner. sisted In the reduction of hours of labor for overworked girls and wo men ?

II. Flagg. of the Elgin Recorder, is floun dering around In his ' discussion of matters political, can not forego the pleasure he seems to derive from pouncing upon the so-called : "old guard.'' Tins difference between the very much abused members of the . "old guard" nnd the latter day pro gressive republicans Is that the for mer are governed by common sense and patriotic motives In biding thnlr time In taking for grnntod that all the new legislation proposed by the pro ressves Is destined to work out for lbo public good! ' Aftor the trial of the 'Oregon. System,' while convinced It could be Improved, by being modlflod nevertheless It has received tho en dorsement of tho "old guard-' and will be loyally supported by all those who liad misgivings as to; its 'beneficial; re uUs.' '' ' ; ': :. ' :: for a good man hecause he was a .Catholic, a Presbyterian or a Metho dist? Our Savior was a Jew. and was .11 not the Jews who gave us out Christian religion? No fair minded American citizen will refuse to 'vote for a man because of his religion or nationality. The trouble with our friend Flngg Is that Enstorn Oregon climate has ob scured his vision.'
