DOWN WITII BROWNELLISM t
What has "Brownellism" don for
Oiaoksnias oounty? Taxpayers have
oaid their money, a little more each
vear, and have they gotfvalae for it io
mblio benefits? When (the farmer
lies up the improvements that sur--oand
the iatn and home and gets
'tvefytbing in good running order, lie
expects his expenses of maintenance to
'leorease. When the county started in
v dozen years ago and bnilt up its
'oads and bridges and got things in
.'airly good running order and then
roperty interests of immense value
ame into the oounty, might we notj
lave expected a little decrease in the
.ax burden? Have you noticed any
itxch decrease?
Now isn't it a fact that Claokamas
county, daring this time, has been
lampored and largoly manipulated by
i politicul machine? Don't the lieu
tenants and political workers con
nected with that machine get an easy
living ont of it? Doesn't "Brownell
sm" breed and nourish these leeohes?
Micro does the ganger drunken idlers
that one may see on the' stroet corner
'whooing it up' for Brownell get
io much money to buy whiskey with?
If you don't know, Mr. Taxpayer,
-hat you pay for nil this, justcontinue
.0 pay until you grow wiser. If you
think that you have had.euough of
this machine nnd all that goes with it
you have an opportunity to "bust"
the big wheel that makes it go this
April 20th. If all is satisfactory to
witli you, just keep the same old
thing going. Taxes will keep on in
preasing but when you think your
fiirnr is nut worth the tax, let the
oounty take it. '
Triokery, falsehood and corporation
money have carried the day too loug
' in Olaokamas county. Imagine Mr.
' Brownell's nomination and you can
' 4oe him, noxt day, recounting to the
gang of politicians that oon®ates
in Portland, the gang.that ingineored
into high ollioial positions the men
that President Roosevelc has been
busy landing boliind the bars re
wanting to this gang the manner by
which he turned the trick; telling
iiow, in one preoiuot, where Walter L.
Too7,e, candidate for oongress, liad a
brother well lined in the oommunity,
he paid a glowing tribute o the abil
ity nnd splendid accomplishments of
this' oongrussional aspirant, theroby
winning tho hearts of a whole pre
liuot; how.at'Milwaukio he eulogized
fouathau Bourue to the skies aid
caught the preoiuot; how 'in the south
ind of thu onouty ho promised a rail
road and caught a lot of votes, and so
n throughout the whole county,
flow ho held one poBtmastor in lino
by promising to keep him in oillce,
and how he got half a dozen more in
line by assuring eauhjone of thorn that
he should have the postofHoe.
Now the question to be decided on
the 20th of April is this: Are the peo
ple such dupes as Goo. 0. Brownell
has sized thorn up to be? "Not on
your tin-typel" On that day, or
rather tho'uoxt thereafter, t here will
be jtu awakening from a troubled,
droara.
AS TO TrHAT INDICTMENT.
While The Courier, in its persistent
plea for hotter politial conditions in
Clackamas oounty, has assailed the
public acts of the man who is largely
responsible, itias Joarefully refrained
from any attaok on his private ohar
aoter. We believe that a propor souse
ot diguity and solf-respeot requires
such an attitude tiud while Mr. Brow
uell's malioions and false personal at
tacks on some individuals, and partic
ularly his attempt to malign aud be
littlu the character of ouo af tho stock
holders of Tho Oourior Publishing
Company, are aggravating, we believe
chat tho reading publio does not care
to spend its time on matters that are
not of publio interest.
Until Mr. Brownell voluntarily
brought the question before the pub
lic, this paper evouavoidod CDiuuiout
on his iudictmeut and ponding trial
in the federal court. But w hen he
went U ture the peoplo in an attempt
to deceive tho publio and to.induce it
to beliovo that tho charge ngaiust him
was a little niatter,,theu it became the
duty of The;Oourier, to inform tho
publio of tho true situation. This
paper did not wish to try Mr. Brow
nell's caso out, however. After Mr.
Honey, .the prosecuting attorney ap
pointed by President ; Roosovolt for
that purpose, has presonted the gov
ernments case to twelve impartial jur
ors, these twelve men will pass upon
the guilt or inuooence of Mr. Brow
nell. But Mr. Brownell has presonted the
overnment'g case, or rather such
mail part of it as he could "slioot t
pieces" to the Clackamas county pub
lic, and has then proceeded to knock
down, the "straw man" he set up for
the purpose.
A grand jury of twenty-four men
unanimously agreed that the evidence
brought before them was sufficient to
oonviot Geo. 0. Brownell. Of the
large number of men indicted by this
grand jury, and later tried, only one
esoaped ootviotion. The list of con
vioted includes a United States Sena
tor and a United States Congressman.
Anyone knows what incontrovertible
evidence is required to oonviot men
ot such influence.
Now the question before the people
of Clackamas is .not, "Is Mr. Br of
nell innocent or guilty?" The ques
tion is: "Should Clackamas county's
ohanoe of representation in the state
senate depend on Mr. Brownell's get
ting out of a nasty sorape?"
The Courier hopes that Mr. Brow
nell is not guilty of a nrime against
his government. At the same time his
attempt to deceive the people of
Clackamas oounty into believing that
his indictment is a light affair is repre
hensible in the extreme. It is alinoBt
unbelievable that a man could ask a
whole community to surrender its
right of representation in government
for the sake of enhancing his personal
welfare.
Mr. Brownell's Compliments to Joseph Simon.
(Followiug is Brownell's speech,
made at the speoial session of the leg
islature, 1808, nominating Joseph
Simon for United StatesSenator. )
"It falls to my lot, and I discharge
tl e duty joyfully, to nominate Joseph
Simon, the Little Giant of Oregon,
for the United States Senate. In char
acter, in power of achievement, in
subtlety and force of intellect, his
merits trausoend all eulogy of mine.
He owes the eminonce he has reached
to no acoidunts of fortune, but to
those surpassing qualities of mind
and heart thht draw all men unto
him; to his genius for industry aud
to his fidelity to the whole people as
well as to '-the great party that de
lights to honor him. I present him
to this assembly asvtlie incomparable
candidate for the United States Sen
ate; I present him in the name of a
state proud of her illustrious son ; I
present i him as her noblest specimen
and product of Anglo-Saxon citizen
ship. "
Mr. Joseph Simon's Compliments to Geo.
C. Brownell.
(Following is an extract from Jo
seph Simon's letter to the Oregoniau,
published in that paper March 4,
1808. )
"At no time did I say to Senator
Brownell or to anyone else that 'no
name but Corbett's would be sup
ported' by me or my associates.
While Mr. Cor bet t may have been
thought of as a possible candidate, as
many others wore, no effort, so tar as
I know, was made in his behalf.
BUT SENATOR BROWNELL LID
COME TO ME AND OFFER, FOR
THE OOSIDERATION OF $3000. TO
BE PAID TO HIMSELF, TO ABAN
DON MR. MITCHELL. HE RE
MINDED ME THAT HE WAS
PRESIDENT OF THE MITCHELL
JOINT CON MENTION. AND THAT
MR. MITCH HILL'S SUPPORT
WOULD GO TO PIECES THE MO
MENT HE ABANDONED IT. I told
Senator Brownell th. t such a proposi
tion could not be eutortaiued. "
THE PASS SYSTEM.
A farmer oconpied a seat in a rail
road car with a lawyer. The con
ductor came; the farmer gave him
his ticket, which he had purchased at
his station. Tho lawyer took a card
out of his pocket and showed it to
the oonduotor, who glanced at it and
wentrou. The lawyer saw the farmer
eye his card Hskance.
'Don't you find tickets pretty cheap
on this road?" asked the lawyer.
Tolorably cheap, l suppose, an
swered the farmer, "considering that
I liave to pay yonr fare as well as my
o n.' 'New York Advertiser.
Are You Tired, Nervous
' and Sleepless ?
Nervousness and sleeplessness are us
ually duo to tho fact that the nerves are
not fed on proixsrly nourishing blood;
thoy are starved nerves. Dr. riereo's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich blood, and thereby tho nerves aro
properly nourished and all tho organs of
tho body aro run as smoothly as machin
ery which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous you aro
tonod up and Invigorated, and you aro
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work.' Best of all, tho strength and In
crease In vitality and health aro kustfiifl.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which havo a large, booming salo
for a short time, la that they aro largely
composed of alcohol holding tho drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the rod
blood corpuscles, and In tho long run
greatly injures tho system. Ono may feci
exhilarated and bettor for tho timo being,
yet In the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of It bears upon its wrapper The
Malie of Honesty, in a full list of all its
several ingredients. For tho druggist to
oiler you something ho claims is "just as
good " is to Insult your Intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into tho
world-famed "Golilmi Medical Discovery"
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all tho several schools of practice. Ju)
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has anv such endorsement.

The people of Clackamas sounty are
uniting their efforts to defeat George
C. Brownell, who is a candidate for
the nomination of state senator from
that oounty. As has been the habir of
Brownell, he has promised every
thing, and if elected, will do as he
usually does, deliver nothing. There
never has been a man in state politics
who has promised as much and done
as little as Brownell. He gets on the
popular site of everything, "stands
in" with everything, and has an ex
cuse for everything that he-did con
trary to his 'promises. He plays the'
game of politics with "marked cards"
aud.is a corrnptionist of the deepest
dye. Oregon lias been too long cursed
by such law-makers as Brownell. In
these days of accounting' it is best to
kill the worm that has injected its
poison into the tree of state. If Clack
amas county does her duty she will
spray her political trees, which will
be the undoing'of George O. Brownell.
(Portland Labor Press.)
Strong labor organizations, such as
exist in Portland, make it their busi
ness to know who is the people's man
and who the corporations' man.
Through their official organ, in the
above editorial, the labor organiza
tions ask that all friends of the la
borer rerfain from supporting Mr.
Brownell for an office which lie uses
entirely in the interest of the big
monied oonoorns.
The Labor Press shows its hand on
the side ot "decencyand honesty. Let
the labor vote hack it up. Only by
such means can labor gain tin sup
port of the honest element that can be
depended on for fair play.
Labor has not money to buy legisla
tion it has votes to eleot legislators
wlio are hunest and who cannot be
bought by monied interests. It has
votes to chastise men who prove them
selves traitors to it. Romember this
aud talk as you please, but vote as you
feel and know.
The Oregoniau Passes an Opinion.
Following the Simon letter, the
Oregoniau, which Brownell in the
present; campaign says, in some parts
ol the county, ig with him, and in
other localities he says it is against
liim.'commsnts 'on the subjeot in the
following language. )
' The word, ot a common liar,
grafter aud doad;beat, like George 0.
Brownell, is no support for any state
ment. " Brownell, as the above letter
shows, offered fr $3000, to be paid to
himself, to sell out the Mitchell
cause. He probably will deny it; but
denial will be ridioulons. because
everybody who knowsBrownell knows
that such offer is precisely (in accord
with his character ana his practices.
"Of all 'grafters' that ever had to
do with affairs in JOregon, George 0.
Brownell ii probably the most shame
less. He has everybody's money in
his pocket. Persistent '. as shameless
in seeking opportunity to ply his
trade of prostitution, he wants to be
re-elocted to the state senate, whete
chances are forseeu for participation
iu the election of two more United
States Senators and in divers and sun
dry incidoutal jobs. His associates in
the Mitchell party know him as well
as other know him, and would lise
to exchange him, if jihey could, for a
nioie trustworthy and less costly
man.
"But he is now becoming so well
known in Clackamas that there is
small chauce of his ever being elected
again. Men of his Kind are a curse
and a scourge to the Btato. Honest
legislation tor the publio good is next
to impossible, so long as such men are
seut to the legislate re. Other mon
as mercenary as Brownell, aB utterly
devoid of all houostjprimiple and pur
poso, may have been sent to the legis
lature of Oregon, but we don't know
of any. Tho Oregoniau is by no
.ueans disposed to uso harsh terms,
and contents itself, therefore, with
the numerate language of siniplo
truth ; which, however, it hopes will
suffice to put the voters cf Clackamas
who hitherto may not have known
Brov nell as they ought, npou inquiry
as to his charaoer. Claokamas, we
trust, for its own credit, and for the
comuioL good, will spare the state
from further' infliction of Brownell
upon the legislature."

George C. Brownell.

Grisenthwaite, is Past Mastei

way Company runs speoial trains on
its lines to Brownell politioal meetings
and oharges no fare whatever to per
sons attending those meetings. Mr.
Brownell read a letter at Molalla
from Mr. Morris, head of the O. W. P
& Ry. Co., urging the people to nom
inate and eleot Mr. Brownell to the
senate. If the mass of the people
want corporation tools and hirelings
to proteot corporate wealth in its
speoial privileges, then let's have it
that way. It is needless to wash
time, money and energy attempting
to gain for the great mass of the peo
ple something that is not wanted. Let
the people go to the polls on the 20th
ofApril and say by their ballots what
they want. The people of Clack imas
oounty know the situation if they
choose slavery to corporate domina
tion, it is their qwn ohoice. The press
of Clackamas county lias done its
duty.
