WHY DESTROY THE INDUSTRIAL
PROGRESS OF OREGON?
That's what theso-called "Water Front" bills,
Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot, will do if
passed at the November election.
Why make it impossible to build saw mills or
any other industrial, labor-producing: plants on
the rivers and bays of Oregon?
That's what the passage of these bills will do.
Why cripple the development of our great tim
ber resources; why cripple all manufacturing: in
Oregon?
That's what will take place if the people vote
"yes" on numbers 328 and 330.
Why lock up the thousands of acres of over-flow lands bordering
upon the navigable waters of the State and its miles of water front for
the benefit of "future generations;" why iot let the present generation
have some of the benefit from the use of these lards?
Industries of all kinds will be driven from Oregon and Intending In
vestors will turn their backs upon the State if these so-called "Water
Front" bills become laws. That is why every man, woman and child in
Oregon will be adversely affected if these bills are passed by the people
In November.
Oregon needs outside capital to develop its great natural resources
but we will drive it away if we pass Numbers 328 and 330 on the ballot
at the November election.
If these so-called "Water Front" bills are passed b the people, a
vast amount of property will be withdrawn from taxaiion in this State
and this great burden will be thrown upon the rest of the taxable prop
erty, resulting in a heavy increase in everybody's taxes.
These bills are vicious; they are destructive of the very best inter
ests of the State, they ought never to become laws.
The way to defeat them is to vote "NO" 329 and 33 1 .

Asa B. Robinson, candidate for
clerk for re-election, like all his
predecessors, is the "best clerk
Polk county ever had." If ont
term deserves another, he will
tret the other term. Mr. Robin
son is not as good looking, the
ladies say, as hia campaign pic
tures represent him to be, but
still he could capture many bras
medals in a beauty show. At
one time Asa lived in Independ
ence and is related to it by mar
riaee so he hangs around thij
city very prominently, even when
he is not running for ofhee. Ev
erybody and everything in the
county, except the Dallas Ob
server, is supporting him and the
only chance he has of losing is to
vet off the ticket or fall in the
Willamette river.

Ed M. Smith is another candi

job for a number of years and
Asa B. Robinson had to pry him
oose two years aco which was
no small boy's job and created
quite a sensation when it was
done. Eddie has contracted such
a habit of being county clerk
that he is completely lost when
he isn't doing it. But it is a
darn sight better to be on the in
side looking out than on the out
-ide looking in and many cruel
persons say that Ed will fully re-
alize it two weeks from next

WHAT BILL HANLEY SAYS.
Bill Hanky says that the
best wnv to eut down the high
rosl of living is to kick out a
few dead Senators at Washington.
i C.I tHKK I.HTH,
Manngrr Htmlry Cunipnign.
The platform of William lliinley,
Progressive candidate for I nited
Mules Senator, is a platform as far
removed from the usual platform
of fence-straddling as the poles; it
is clear, concise mid straightforward.
None of the hig issues are miss
ing; Ins slnnil on them nil is ineic,
ami those who know him best nre
Mnninest in their declarations that
tho llanley principle of action is
a true guarantee lhat he will do
ii f lor election just what he says
before election he will do.
That there is none ot the wily
politician in the llanley make-up
is plain from a careful perusal of
Hie platform.
Every utterance of the man, us
there set forth, is a plain and
flunk eNpicssion of his thought on
subjects which are of vital interest
to every citizen of Oregon.
No long, carefully worded para
graphs me contained therein, de
signed to catch the eye and arrest
Hie fancy of the voter, but just a
straight-cut declaration of his alii
hide on each question of the day.
Furthermore, to the disinterested
(politically) voter, it will at once
he seen that the llanley platform is
;ninpletc and ample mid that it
hits the spot in every instance.
The reason it hits the spot in
every instance is because the man
who stands on it is a product of
Oregon; he is a native horn citi
zen, one whose interests lie in
Oregon and whose every thought is
for the hellormont of the slate; he
knows what the people of Oregon
need and, given the opportunity
in do so. he will get those things
lor Ihein.

It must have been some one who
wants the Senatorial job to go
where it will do the most good to
Ihe incumbent ami hia friends who
said my education was too short
lo get me anywhere in Washing
ton. Whoever it was, it reminds
me of a couple of graduates from
an Eastern college whose fathers
sent them lo me for some West
ern experience. I told the fore
man lo put them on the pay
roll, give them something soft lo
do ami keep Ihe other boys from
riding Ihem loo bard. In a few
davs he sent them to build a fi m e
around some haystacks. About a
week later wp were riding by those
stacks and the foreman Mid off o
examine Ihe feme. He put '. s
foot against one of the posts : I
pushed the whole thing over, h s
first comment will nol bear peb i
ealion, but, after he was relieve J
of it, lie said with a kind of ho
less despair: "I couldn't expe -t
anything heller-the poor fools,
they're educated." So, it depends
on the meant point.
Everybody Knows that my bi'i
