The American Federation ol Labor in Oregon City had at last meeting a membership of 304, and it is increasing nverv dav. Secretary Howard says he expects a membership ol 400 or 500 in the near future. and he can advocate those men and measures that will tend to the best ad vancement of the county and state with out any political obligations to hamper him. hnterpnse. Since the above was written Brother Porterjhasjeven tried to get on thecitizens ticket as joint representative. The above article is merely a bid for financial assistance from the office-seekers. Everybody seems to think Mr. Porter has had a pretty good pull at the public teat and has forced him to let go, much against his will, and now he won'f'stand in" unless he is paid for so doing We always knew he was cold-blooded but this beats anything we have ever heard of. Poor fellow, as his paper don't sup port him and he lias no senatorial graft, ihe candidates will no doubt have to contribute. POLITICAL NOTES. WIXXIXG TICKET. Pa. bim Double L. Porter in his sheet last week, as usual, misrepresented the pro position of the writer to buy a couple of lots that the city has been unable to dispose of for the past eight years, the same to be paid for in city printing. The managements of the paper mills are to be commended , for manner in which they raised the wages of their employes. The wages of all employes getting less than 3 per day wei e raised 25 cents each per day . George A. Newhall, one the foremost republican of Sans Francisco, president of the vestry of St John's Presbyterian church and president of a number of other thinns in San Francisco, is the owner of a crib in the Barbary Coast, one of the vilest dens in the city, from which he draws a steady rental, hull would blush to go in at the door of a saloon to take a drink. New-front Wnv is it that the 19,000 inhabitants of Ihe city of New Britain, Conn., beat the world in inventive ingenuity ? Since the United States patent laws were enacted 1,447 inventions have been pa tented by :il l New Britainers. Within a ten year period one patent was grant ed each year for every :il7 inhabitants of the town nearlv three t'uneH as many is the general average for all O'mneeticut. . Notwithstanding the fact that there are 1,000,000 names on the pension list dra wing $140,000,000 per year Irom the United States treasury, i. e. from the pockets of tho people, the pressure brought to bear on the president by the agents of the cofTie-coolers and bounty Jumpers has been so great that he hns beeu constrained to accept the resigna tion of Pension Commissioner Kvans, himself one of tin. honorable old soldiers, as honorable in peace as he was in war. Tho pension attorneys want a commis sioner who will aid them in robbing the treasury, which Evans would not do. It must be that Rosevelt is bidding for the soldier vote by lotting Evans out. Who is this man from bunch grass, That pi ople call him great fs he a man whose energies Have blessed our splendid state? Oh no, my child His forts have been To grab and gather in the tin, And in a very little while He's gathered in a handsome pile. He never got the office itch Till some one told bim he was rich. On the g. o. p. the truth did flash, That he could Furnish lots of cash. T'was not because they thought great, ' -. ;; . ' But an ideal wealthy candidate. 1 It is pleasing to reflect that the three hundred thousand, dollars warmed-over democrate whom the e, o. p. have nomination for governor, will be able to Furnish a snug little sum for the booble campaign funds. . A good j)ke is told on Porter while he was attending the state convention. . He was being "joshed" for not "setting them ud" to the boys the he it last summoned courage and asked a delegite to go across the street with him. When part the way over, the delegate asked Porter what he wanted of him. Porter replied, "I want to buy you a cigar." The man was horrified and threw up his hands and said, "Nol I do not want you to break your record, Mr. Porter." QUESTIONABLE METHODS. The East Side Heral d of Portland, has the following to say of the fellow that publishes the Can by paper : In Portland there is a fake "news--paper syndicate" ' conducted by one Ralph Clyde, who claims to print twelve suburban and country papers with a com bined circulation of 60,000 copies, while as a matter of fact the entire circulation of all will not average to exceed 150 copies each. These "newspapers" are rotten up in entirely by , the Northern Pacific Newspaper, Union which presum ably fosters this fake "syndicate" Jn order to swell the record sheet of papers published by them for the use of Eastern advertisers, who are charged a high rate for each "patent inside" containing their advertisement. And so, behold I the newspaper union hoodwinked the Eastern advertiser, and the fake 12 paper "syndicate" of Portland swindles the local advertiser. But that is not all. It is currently reported that the 12 paper "syndicate" nurtured and suckled by the Northern Pacilic Newspaper Union, has succeeded in blackmailing a cert lin railroad company to the extent of 500; and the legitmate newspapers will have to suffer in consequence. Of course no one expects anything bet ter of men of Clyde's stamp, but the public certainly does expect something bettor of the American Type Founders Company. If it cannot maintain its patent 'inside concern in Portland with out fathering and giving moral support tn fake newspaper projects it had better close np shop, or at least place the Portland branch in the hands of a mana ger who does not try to build up his business by encouraging and fostering notorious fakes. THE TURNING DO WN OFGEER. Sketches of Candidates on the yon-Partisan Citizens Ticket. Following is a short sketch of the sev eral candidates on the ticket put up by thecitizens convention last week. They are all honorable men and are entitled to the votes of all citizens wishing good clean men for office. . The majority of the candidates did not seek the offices, and in many cases the nominations were forced upon them by the convention. GEORGE W. GRACE, Candidate for state senator, is as well and favorably known as any other citi zen of Clackamas county. Before com ing to Oregon City to fill the office of sheriff, to which office he was elected by the largest majority ever given a man in this county, he conducted a store at Clarkes.

He has never been a candidate for office and it was only on the earnest solicitation of his friends and the unanimous sentiment of the convention that caused him to accept the nomination.

HEDGBS, Candidate for representative, is a na tive son of Clackamas county, ' having been born in Canemah in 1874. When 15 years of age he was sent to Phillips Academy of Andovei, .

The clean and bright career of Mr. Hedges forced him to the front both professionally and po litically and in 1900 he was elected on citi zens ticket to represent this county in the state legislature, being the only one of his party candidates for the legisla ture elected. During the session of that body he championed several worthy measures, one of which was the reduc tion of railroad fare to three cents per mile. Many republicans already con ceed his re-election.

In Ihe center of the picture sits a bloated old wretch, with a cigar in his mouth, holding a large bowl or basin, labeled "invested capital. Under are figures ropreseiitating "meat 60 per cent higher," "groceries 3:1 per ' cent higher," "clothing 10 per cent higher," "house rent 10 per cent higher,' j and in the midst ol these heavy weights, each chained to his logs, stands a half famished laborer, holding a fork. The capitalist calls out to him: "What are you kickirg about? Isu't some of my prosperity slopping ovjr on you?'' "Yes" replies the working-man, "It's raining soup all right, and I've g t the same old fork to eat it with." SOVli GRATES. The proprietor of this paper is now ont of politics and any man should not mix in politics if he is going to run a ' .,o. a a loiu as a newspaper man holds "an office he is constrained to frtoneuty take a sianu hki nient. So long 8 By a corrupt and venal combination Governor Geer was beaten for a re- nomination at the hands of the Re publican onvent'on held in Portland. Among those who conspired todefeat was the delegation from this county, headed by one who sought to sw ap the vote of the entire delegation of sixteen like so many cattle, in order to secure the boodle office of state printer. But with all their na tive cunning our local politicians got beautifully left They delivered the goods too soon. The nomination for governor came first and after they had sacrificed our good ' governor in the in terests of a Pendleton hanker, then the other party failed to keep its part of the infamous contract and the Clackamas candidate was wholly ignored, as well he should have been for entering into any such nefarious deal. Such are the mutations of politics. The result but illustrates the iniquity of booble politics. Such methods but im press upon the public, the urgent need of reform aid give strenght to move ments in the interest of honest govern ment. There must come an end to. dishonesty in politics; to those who live by sharp practice there must some time come an end the question is only, when? O. W.
