LA GRANDE EVENING' ORRER VTCR. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 18, 1912. PAGE SEVEN" n NATIONAL TICKET For President-- ; Theodore Roosevelt 'V i - Tor Vice President Hiram Johnson . j LISTEN TO THIS The New York Herald, which apparently long ago made a vow never to print the name of Theodore Roosevelt in its columns, and which always refers to him as "The Third Termer" has been making elab orate preparations to print a poll it took of the dif ferent states. It announced often, in a loud voice, that this' poll would appear on Sunday, October 6th. From day to day the Herald would announce that Tafi was gaining; that there was a great movement . to Taft; that the Progressive cause was waning; that the Democratic cause was gaining, etc., so that we looked for this poll on Sunday morning, October 6th, with fear and, trembling; and, lo and behold! we find TOiat it concedes almost the entire Western country to Roosevelt; that it absolutely-concedes. Illinois by an overwhelming vote; that it gives us such states as Connecticut; that it makes Roosevelt well up to Wil son in New York; that it would have given him the City of New York if it had not put in an overwhelm ing vote in favor of Taft, taken among the brokers of the New York Stock Exchange. Then it proceeds to total up the different States and brings Taft in a bad second or third in all but one State. . That is the way Taft is gaining. It is to laugh!

Oct 4-11-18 A Few Reasons Why a Patriotic Citizen Should Not Vote For Jonathan Bourne. , COLOKEL BOOSEVELT AND BOURSE. Whea Colonel Roosevelt, as president of the United States, wrote the kind ot letters that are herewith reprinted you may be sure there was ample cause to his action. After reading the, letters, It Is ha.d for you to come to any othsr conclusion than that Oregon's senior senator,' Jonathan Bourne, was thoroughly identified with the Standard Oil and that fate was attempting to Intercede for the Standard Oil company with the president at that time. Phase note the tone ot Colonel Roosevelt's words to this man' who has pretend ed to represent Oregon In tte Unified States senate: "Sagamore Hill, Feb. 2,1908. My Dear Senator: I am sorry I could not see you today, but I do not like to see aayone on Sunday on business If it can be avoided. . "As to what you told re the othet evening about the Standard Oil people, do remember that, while any propos- ' als they make will be considered In an entirely frank and honorable spirit yet these proposals must be condition ed upon absolute obedience' to the law : and must be laid in detail before the attorney-general and Frank B. Kel logg before It would be possible for me to express any opinion on them. I know yon understand this, bat I want yon to be sure that the Standard Oil people do not misunderstand It ' and do not get the Impression 11: 4 It was my desire or by my Initiative that . negotiations have been entered Into with them by you or by anyone,- or -that there will be any failures to lay the matter In full detail before Mr. Bonaparte and Mr. Kellogg. With re Cards, believe me, sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "Oyster Bay, N. T., July 3. 1908 My Dear Senator: Mr. Loeb has trans mitted to me your telephone message as to Mr. Kellogg submitting a writ ten memorandum. My dear senator, let me repeat in writing what I have said ' again and again to Mr. Archbold and to you and what I stated at much length In our Interview of last JJoi. day. In my judgment It Is not only a waste of time, but Inadvisable to try to carry on negotiations through you as Intermediary. . "Let the Standard Oil lawyres, any or all of them as Mr. Archbold or Mr. Rockefeller or ayone else may choose, ' decide as to the course they wish to 1 follow, and then communicate direct to Mr. Kellogg or the attorney-general. I read you what Mr. Bonaparte 'wrote me, which I had previously read to Mr. Kellogg, and I furnished yon with a copy of It Tou now Inform Mr. Loeb that this Is not specific enougn. It was not meant to be specific. . It was not meant to show-you. It was meant by Mr. Bonaparte to' advise -me as o what he and Mr.'Kellogg thought as ' the proper course to follow. I read It to yon so that you might understand what the attitude of the department of justice was, and when I read It to you I explained explicitly to Mr. Archbold ; and yourself what I have now put In writing above, namely, that It Is un desirable to attempt to carry out ne- gotlatlons through you, and that the proper person tor you to communicate with was not me, but Mr. Bonaparte or Mr. Kellogg. Then an appeal can always be made to me; but obviously the first thing to do Is tp have the counsel of the Standard Oil communi cate with tbe counsel of- the depart ment of justice, Mr. Kellogg, or with Mr. , Bonaparte himself. Sincerely yours, . "THEODORE ROOSEVELT."' A Democrat's Opinion of Bourne. -"When the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill was being considered Bourne admit ted on the floor of the senate that he did not know anything about the tar iff, but left that with Aldrlch with whom he voted In nearly every In stance. Neither do we want a man In the United States senate who Is so close to the Standard Oil company aa intermediary, it you please, for that corporation." Walter M. pierce, Hot Lake, Ore. PICK OUT THE STRONGEST MAN RUNNING AGAINST MR. BOURNE AND VOTE FOR THAT MAN. (This is not a paid advertisement but is compiled and published by the La Grande Evening Observer. Not one cent is received for its publication. This is printed to warn the real friends of popular government that they are being bilked by a man who claims to believe in the people ruling, but who refuses to abide by the will of the people unless it is to his personal interest.- All true friends of pro- ' gressive legislation are urged to be aware of the hypocrisy of the ofnce-eeker. We deem it an act we owe the public to present the above facts. Ewe!
