A CHANCE 10 ELECT YOUR OWN PEOPLE |
A PRACTICAL MAN
JOHN L. DAY.
Candidate for the Republican nom­
ination for constable, West Side.
“ Jack,” as he is always called, has
been a resident of Portland for the
past 19 years and has always been a
hard worker. For the past eight
years he has been employed by the
Portland General Electric Company.
He is affiliated w’th Electrical Work­
ers’ Local No. 125 and is one of their
representatives in the Trades Council.
He is also a member of the Oregon
Labor Party and has been recommend­
ed for indorsement by their executive
oommittee.
Should Mr. Day be nominated, and
from every indication he will be, he
will go into the office unpledged to
any broker, collection agency or po­
litical ring. He says, “ I am making
a single-handed fight against the graft
which is being carried on by an at­
tache of the office at the present time.
Goods wher. attached and sold always
go to the same party without any
semblance of proper advertisement.
I propose to have a bill drawn up and
passed at the coming session of the
Legislature that will do away with
any possibility of a constable or his
deputy taking a broker into a room
and holding an auction of attached
goods with but the two present. More
publicity is needed and I will see that
it is obtained. My platform is prompt
personal service, law enforcement and
opposition to graft.”
A PLEDGE TO THE PEOPLE.
Promises to Subserve Their Interests
First, Without Partiality.
The following letter promising
faithful performance of official duty
to the people of Multnomah county,
if elected to office, is being sent to the
various labor unions in the city and
county:
Portland. Ore., April 5, 1906.
Gentlemen—Having become a can­
didate for the nomination ns County
Judge in the Republican primaries to
bo held on April 20 next, I most
respectfully solicit the support of all
Republican voters in the county and
in so doing consider it fair and right
to set forth my attitude and position
on some of the most important po­
litical and economic questions that
are being presented to taxpayers and
voters.
I f I am nominated and elected as
County Judge, I pledge myself to the
people of Multnomah county, each and
every one, upon mv word of honor
as a man and as an attorney to faith­
fully and honestly and as economical­
ly as possible, serve their best inter­
ests at all times, to hear and determ­
ine all maters that may come before
me, fairly and impartially, without
fear of favor, toward all men alike,
be they rich or poor. That I will
devote and give my undivided time
and attention to the duties of the of-
~ e and remain in the office of the
County Court, where I can be found,
when wanted, on each and every
business day, nt seasonable hours for
the transaction of the county’s busi­
ness and for the careful guarding and
protecting of the estates of decedents
and minor children. That I will at
all times make mv own affairs sub­
servient to the duties of the office
and if necessary sacrifice the same to
do so.
That I believe in good roads and
bridges and that a just proportion of
the county monpv should be expended
for their improvement and mainten­

This is an age of young men. It is
Every union man in Multnomah
county knows of George Orton, man­
ager of the Multnomah Printing Com­
pany, and a life long member of the
Printing Pressmen’s Upion. George
Orton is a union man through and
through; honest and square as a die,
fearless and warm-hearted. He has
been at the head of every movement
which had for its object the welfare
of his fellow-workmen, and he has
the confidence and respect of every
man wliq knows him. Like every
faithful son of organized labor, Geo.
Orton has been through the fire of
many battles. He has emerged vic­
toriously from every fight and has
never shown the white feather to his
enemies. Such men as Orton would
do credit to us at Salem. Look for
his number on the Republican ballot
and do your duty—elect him.

whenever brought in competition with
legitimate paid labor.
The office of County Judge, in con­
junction with the Commissioners, is
a large employer of labor and the
purchaser of the product of labor
and I take pleasure in stating that I
have always maintained and still be­
lieve that the best and most efficient
labor is Union Labor and that while
it may be higher priced, seemingly,
nevertheless, it is the cheapest in the
end for the employer, on account of
its efficiency and reliability.
That I believe in the organization
of labor and that its effect is to make
better wages and better citizens. That
good wages make good citizens and
good citizens are absolutely essential
to good government.
Very respectfullv,
R. R. GILTNER.

want to know from you, Mr. Fenton,
the e act position of politics at the

nights on the O. R. & N. and sleep
during the day, and I cannot come
down to see anybody. I want to
know from you, sir, what I shall do
at the primaries.”
(Fenton)—“ Farrell, I want you to
either vote for Lach ier or Rand, but
we prefer Rand. Be sure and vatch the
ticket in connection with the Bourne
question, ns I am a strong anti-
Bourne man and against Statement
No. 1. But it won’t make any differ­

we will beat him at Salem. By the
way, there is a young fellow by the
name of Bob Farrell running for
representative, a rattling good boy, a
namesake of yours, whom I would
like very much to have you support.
Remember, Farrell, it is your bread
and butter in connection with the O.
