The Congressional Situation in
in the First District
At the coming election November 3rd the people of
this district will select a congressman.
While we are publishing a paper independent in
politics and the editor is a republican, still we are not
hide-bound, and will support that man who by his
ability and knowledge of conditions will best represent
The fight will lay between Mr. Frederick Hollister,
the Democrat nominee; and W. C. Hawley, the present
incumbent
Mr. Hawley has been misrepresenting this district
for eight years. ’ During that time he has consistently
done nothing for the district Lane county or the Sius-
law country. In all this time Mr. Hawley has introduc­
ed 185 bills and succeeded
getting five passed.
The coast country has bees neglected and in an inter­
view recentl y to the Salem Statesman he excuses him­
self in this man ner. “le a n not accomplish anything
because I am not in harmony with President Wilson and
his administration.’’
In other words Mr. Hawley did not accomplish any­
thing during the six years he was in harmony with the
administration, acknowledges he has not been able to
since Mr. Wilson became president, and cannot for the
next two years. Why keep him there?
Mr. Hollister, is a successful business man, who has
1 ived with us on the coast for many years. His inter­
e s t are with us, his home is with us, and the future of
4ms country is his success and future. He is a business
man who accomplishes things.
The Pilot can see no reason for the re-election of a
man who concedes himself a failure.
Mr. Hawley's negative stand for Coast improvements;
his stand-in for Cannohisro; his^ fight to up-hold the
mileage graft, whereby he placed thousands of dollars
in his own pocket, which he did not earn and was not
'entitled to, is enough to condemn him to the voters.
In supporting Frederick Hollister we would urge
every voter in the Siuslaw country, and-every voter in
Lane county to use the privelege of suffrage to elect
him, because with Mr. Hollister in Congress the people
of the Siuslaw can expect vigorous work for immediate
improvement and a government appropriation that will '
develop our commerce, make a seaport of this com­
munity and prove of inestimable benefit to all Lane
county.
