SUPPLEMENT TO OREGON CITY COURIER, JUNE 1, '06
MANY PEOPLE GREET COVERNOR
Chamberlain Tells of Work Done Dur
ing His Administration.
In striking contrast to the recep
tion of James Withyoombe, who spoke
here to an audience of 118 people, was
the oration given to Governcr Cham
berlain at Shively's operahonse, where
he was greeted by more than 600
people Thursday night. The audience
was composed of all classes, of all
politioal parties. Many women were
present. When the governor entered
the hall, accompanied by Mayor Can
field, the building was filled and the
cheering began. This approval of the
governor and his statements was made
clearly manifest throughout the even
ing. Governor Chamberlain made on6
of a the happiest speeches of the cam
paign and gave in detail an account
of the wore done during his adminis
tration. . He deprecated the bitter
party feeling that is sometimes engen
dered daring a campaign and expressed
himself as pleased with the absence
of bitter politics in the entire conntry.
In introducing the governor, Mayor
Canfleld said:
"Oregon has bad many governors,
bat the present executive is the be.-t
one we have ever had. We honor him
for the record he has made, both in
doing things and in preventing things
from being done."
At the conoloBion of the gove-nor's
speeoh, Mayor Canfleld introduced
Judge Thomas G. Hailey, who made
an informal talk. Jndge Hailey said
that he was a candidate for supreme
judge and talked of the prevalent feel
ing for a non-partisan bench.
8HUBEL.
Miss Mary Grossmueller, of Port
land, spent her week of vaoation vis
iting relatives and friends here.
Services were held in the ohnrches
on Asoension day.
Mr. Sagar brought his wife home
from the hospital at Portland whtre
she had an operation performed for
tumor.
Last Friday we had two showers of
rain, at i :30 and about o o'olook,
which for a time seemed to be a cloud
burst. In the last 30 years, there
. never has been an amount of rainfall
so heavy.
Fall wheat is'heading very fast ; a
week or warm weather will see it
nearly all x headed. It seems to be
heading unusually early this year.
Early-sown oats will undoubtedly be
a heavy orop, as some has already be
gun to lodge.
Yonng pigs seem to be in great de
mand; almost every day there is
someone inquiring for some.
At a meeting last Saturday evening
it was decided to bnild a new fenoe
around the Shubel cemetery.
Several 'families went to Oregon
Oity Wednesday evening to take in
the Uncle Tom's Cabin show. Some
had never seen the play before.
Eillain Schmidt spent several days
visiting at Portland and different
places in Linn oounty last week. It
was a combined business and pleasure
trip. He says he likes the country
around Albany.
Miss Lena Heft was here visiting
relatives for a few days.
Williams Bros, shingle and sawmill
will not be run daring the nioe
weather, as they have several barns
to build, one for George Kirbyson and
one for 0. Fischer.
The Socialists had two speakers at
onr schoolhouse last Saturday even
ing, but the crowd was small for this
neighborhood, but as there happened
to be some Democratic and possibly
some Republican beer in the neigh
borhood, it drew the biggest crowd.
Oh, Lord, how long will the political
grafter and office seeker try to get
votes by furnishing wet and dry goods
to the voter. Right here I would like
to say to the Socialists and to W. W.-l
Myers in particular, why do they not
help nominate good men at the pri
mary election by registering with one
or the other of the old parties, and
the chances are we (I mean the . vot
ers) would help nominate men who
are Socialists at heart if we ( I mean
the voters), thought they were the
best men, bat as Mr. Myers thinks
the direct primary law is N. G., why
in ths name of common sense does he
not get to work and write up such a
one as seems perfeot to him, let the
voters read it, and let them judge its
merits. If I am not mistaken, and I
think I am not, the majority of voters
said we are willing to try the present
law. Possibly it could be bettered
some, but believe if Mr. Myers or all
the Socialists together, would get up
some law they would find at its first
trial that there might be some im
provement made in it and it seems to
me (being very hard for me to under
stand anything), very Strang" that a
man would oppose everything that
was done by someone elst , because it
was not jnst as he would have it,
knowing it was a step in the right
direction.
TENDS TO INJURE BOURNE.
But He b Not Responsible For Charac
ter of Political Renegade.
MOLALLA, May 29. (Editor of
The Courier). From a knowledge by
personal acquaintance of tec yers
wiin lonaniiRn rsourne, l wisli to em
phatically protest against the compar
ison of Mr. Bourne with Brownell,
Sohuebel & Co., made by your editor
ials and by the communications of my
old friend, Mr. Myers.
Jb irst, as to some of those incident
ally mentioned. Among these I notice
the name of John O. Young, Popuilst
siaie cnairuian irom 1896 to 1898, and
the principal manager of the first
Bryan oampaign. I have yet to learn
that Mr, Young has done anything
particularly deserving of condemna
tion. He differed, in J898, with a ma
jority of his party concerning the ad
visability of fusion and since he ha
been a free lance in politics.
Bishop Henry L. Bark ley is another
one mentioned as an ez-Popuhst,
while in fact he was never known as
a Populist except through the sneers
of the Oregonian and some of its lesser
imitators. He was a Silver Republi
can, who had the ooarage of his con-
viotions and did valiant service for
Bryan, tnth in 1896 and 1900 and cer
tainly deserves, from Mr. Myers at
least, better treatment than sneers
and contempt.
as to W. 8. U'Ken, he is too well
anown in this oonnty to need much
comment. He seems to base his poli
tioal ethios on that Jesuitical motto
which holds that "the end justifies
the means." But to be classed with
Chris Sohuebel I That is the limit.
Were it in the good old days, and
were Mr. Bourne a Thomas H. Benton,
for instance, Mr. Myers and ye ed
itor might expeot an invitation of
those little early morning gatherings
where "pistols and coffee" are served
for two. No, the truth is that Sohue-
oei s advocacy of Bourne tends to in
jum mo inner, dui no public man
oan be held responsible for the char
acter ot all the self-seeking politioal
renegade wno tees, to attach them
selves to him.
as u urowneii, mere can be no
comparison, lor he is one of those no.
litioal adventurers, without convir
uuub or principles, advoo tins; no
cause until it becomes popular, seek
ing to be "all things to airmen;"
telling the Democrat that he himself
is a "genuine Jeffersonian Democrat,
wnne to the Socialist he advocates
a-ciansni; going over the countiy
abusing Jonathan Bourne and "little
Joe Simon, " a few months later vot
ing for Simon for TT. S Hnnntnr
lauding him to the skies as "Oregon's
luvurue son ana-noDiest product of
Angio-Haxon oitizenship" ; openly
boasting in the St. Charles Hotel in
Portland "that he was a liar, a thief,
a grafter, and WAS PROUD OF IT. "
Why, it is almost sacrilege to com
pare suoh a man with Jonathan
Bourne, for while none nf
friends believe him to be perfection
we do feel thathe is above those vices
of which Geo. O. is such shi
example. ;For instance, Bourne dares
to be true to his convictions. For
mstanoe, the campaign of 1986.
Bourne was nev r allied with the
Populist organiaztion, but was nomi
nated by the Silver or Mitchell
branch of the Republican party for
the lower house of the legislature,
the Populists endorsing and helping
to elect him. When the issue became
the money question in the presiden
tial eleotiou ot that year, Bourne
preferred to sacrifice party to princi
ple, opened up his mining rooms as
Bryan headquarters and lent all as
sistance in his power. He certainly
should have credit for moral oourage,
no matter whether we agree or dis
agree with his views. In the 'matters
ot direct legislation and the direct
primary law he has been one of the
most persistent advocates, and if we
are to achieve in Oregon practically
direct election of U. S. Senators,
Jonathan Bourne, more than any
othei man, will be the one to thank.
As to his golf-playing proclivities,
silk stockings silk hat, etc , this
sounds too much like Brownell's at
tacks on Hedges and hardly calls for
a rejoiuder, euttioe it to say that those
who know Bonrue know that he
oresses very plainly, does not wear a
silk hat, not even a "fried shirt."
As to golf-playing, I believe he is
guilty, if that athletio exeroise is a
crime.
However, all Democratio attacks
have been mild, good-humored and
above-board ; the anonymous ciroolar
underhand work wa done by mem
bers of his own party in order to
weaken him at the primaries, whether
with the knowledge and sanotiou of
Mr. Oake I am unable to say. I do not
wish this letterr to be construed as an
attack on Mr. Gearin, for he, so far
as I know, is an honorable man, and
certainly deserves great credit tor re
maining at his post of duty, rather
than come to oversee his campaign,
Had Mitchell remaired where he be
longed, in Washington, in 1897. in
stead of coming to Salem to "organ
ize" things in his wn interest, the
nouse would almost certainly have
been oiganized ; Jonathan Bourne have
been elected speaker and airect legis
lation secured several years before It
was.
Excuse me for ooouDving so mnoh
of your space, but inasmuch as you
freely allow space to-Socialists, you
will not begrudge this much to an in
dependent voter, who expects to vote
the major portion of the Democratic
ticket, especially when this is a plea
iur iair piay.
I would liked to have written an
article on the equal suffrage amend
ment, but time and space forbids.
But no argument can be made
against woman suffrage that has not
been or could not be made against
universal male suffrage, and an ounce
of example is worth a pound of the
ory, so let the opponents of equal
rights look at New Zealand, for in
stance, and vot accordingly.

of Doan's Kidney Pills, got a box and

Remember the name Doan's and

ceding the election there will
be circulated false statements
concerning the character and
ability of some of the Demo-
cratlc nominees. Remember,
that no person who Is responsi-

spicable politics and any such
statements should be met by
all decent men, with the con-
