for cons Continued from first paRc. ton postage almost froo. The same papers complained bitterly because I sent a few speeches, not over two tons in three years, through the mails. The newspapers did worse than to ignore the work 1 am doing in Congress and in the courts for the public. They actually tried to poison the minds of the miblic airainst mo as an individual, well knowing that they could not attack my public record. The Oregonian closed an editorial supporting iuc Arthur. Sundav before thenrim nrv. with the statement that "There are excellent reasons the end thai any person or cor tioration may start a daily news paper and compel the press as sociations to furnish their out- of-town service, and at a reason- nltln nrSnn iiml ll4 HI1V (Uf.izmi 11 1' I s atvra J ' - ------- may now compel a railroad to carrv him as a passenger if ho tenders the fare. When 1 in traduced this law. Mr. Hond P. Geddis, agent at Washington for Mr. E. C. Scnpps, asked me to let up on my light for the lull, and to anoloirize for my state ment in the Congressional Record that the press associations were controlled by the money ppwor. Mr. Geddis told me that Mr. Scripps owned the Portland News: that Scripps also owned the United Press, or the major ity of it, that serves both the News and the Journal in Port land, and that if 1 did not apologize and drop my light, Scritms would have hia paper, the Portland News, light me for re-election. I refused lo sur render. 5. For an Interstate Trade Commission, with power to control private trust, like the Steel Trust, the Tonaeco Trust, the Oil Trust, the llarvoator Trust, and all other trusts, even to the extent of fixing maximum prices to he charged for any commodity, when found to be controlled by an absolute monop oly, pending the elimination of the monopolistic conditions and the restoration of free competi tion. Those arc not umpty promises, I have put all those pronositions into the form of specific laws. All that would be required to realize them would be lo elect 210 Congressmen a majority willing to serve the public. I have taken my ofilce seriously; have worked like a slave the last 'Ah years, and, of course, the in terests will try to defeat mo and put in a stand palter or a non entity. I had not boon in ofilce six Lnfferty should be left at homo." The Portland Nows, favoring McArthur's nomination, habit ually followed the lead of The Oregonian, and would close its editorials supporting iic Arthur, and opposing me, with thestnle muni that "There nre oilier reason not necessary to mention why Lalfurty should be de feated." I refuse lo be killed oil" politi cally by any blnnk cartridges. 1 cliallengu those newspapers to produce leaden bullets and show wherein I am unlit. If any person can show where I have over boon immoral, or com mitted any ollonse against any law of any country, 1 will resign f rom ollicu. As a cap sheaf to thccHmiwign of nowspapur infamy, on the nfternoon before the primary, Inrgu and glaring paid advertise ments wore insorted in all t ho afternoon papers, when it was too late for me to expose the fraud in the same paiiers, head ed: "Congressman LnlVorty for Prohibition." That piece of trickery alone cost me at least 8000 votes. Kvery reader of the ndvertisenionts supposed I put them in the papers ami, of couruo, those who are against prohibition wore incensed that 1 was using the influence of my political otlice in that tight. The ndvortisomonU were insert ed by my political enemies, who well knew the head thereon was false, and who well knew that the printing of such advertise ments, supposedly coming from me, would put me in a false light, and cost me thousands of votes. I have tnkon no personal public stand for or against prohibition, and shall not try to influence tho pooplo oithor way on tho subjoct. 1 shall voto for tho resolution sub mitting the question to the states, if it comos to u voto be fore tho November eloction, and if it comos to a voto oftor that 1 shall voto as Multnomah County votes on the subject in Novembor. No Congressman has any right to voto otherwise than as desired by n majority of his constituents, wlion that do siro has been clearly expressed with notice in advanco that the referendum voto of tho people will bo followed. That was the very principlo of Statument 1. I want every voter lo call to see mo at my oflice, 783 Piltock block, opposite Hazolwood Cream Store. I shall be homo in a fow days and shall bo in my ofllco nd engaged in tho campaign very day until Novembor 11, except such time ns I may find it necessary to be in Washington. Very sincerely, A. W.

As Manufacturer Sees It If one half the money nnd effort were employed in securing manufacturing institutions in the Northwest, and supporting those already here, instead of at tempting to get people to the coast who have no visible means, and who but add to an already glutted labor supply, hotter re sults would obtain. The cry of "back to the soil" , and the constant endeavor to get more producers of land pro-1 ducts, is in itself well enough, but what distributes vnltt" and gets money radiating out into channels ot traue is uie pay roll. A trood industry establish-, ed in a community, employing a fairly lurgc number of people, is worth a dozen farms and farm ers, as a distributor of money and affording activity to general business. The monthly, or semi monthly, pay envelope helps merchants in all lines, while the farm gives employment to but few and ages are inconsiderable und irrcgulur in payment. Tho value of thuimyroll is exemplified in hundreds of small eastern cities and should be encouraged in the Northwest. Much discussion lias been ad vanced concerning tlie vast amounts paid out for transporta tion of commodities, but these amounts arc small in comparison with tho pay rolls that produce tho articles on which freights arc paid. Tho aggregate of freight und labor in production would bo of vast importance to tho coast. People of tho North west arc slow to realize tho value of home industries. When tho wheels arc turning, demand for farm products will follow, the result of which will not neces sitate advertising for farmers. Homo markets will be establish ed with no resultant loss from over supply. Demand for pro ducts will bring tho farmer. iVrhero lias been a growing tendency for some years to hnmnor tho manufacturer, and hedge him on ovcry hand, just as the political vampiro nns stilled transportation lines and stopped their extension and development. Especially is this true if tho manufacturer hap- nous to be a corporation. These seem common prey for political buncombe. He is solicited for every chnrity. or charitable organization: for promotion schemes that are supposed to aid in general development; is hounded bv commissions of every imaginable line and color; is easy picking for corporation tax gatherers, tho income political freak; ono sot of commissioners to watch tho other until taxes are about intolerable, and yet tho work goes merrily on, until some day, not long hence, cupital will nick itself un nnd remove to somo country where nt least small appreciation will bo given, and whero it will not bo subject to tho long, slimy tentacles of every evil genius who can play the political harp and excite tiuancial frenzy. Then thero exists, in every city and town, tho merchant or Jobber entirely wanting in loyalty to tho homo manufactur er. In fact, commercial pirates, wanting to make money in a community or section and send ing away for foreign made ar ticles, tho making of which in home localities "would accrue to tholr own as well as general benefit. They even go further, and imv out crood dollars for ad vertising foreign products in local papers. Correction of this evil rests with the consumer and local merchant.
