CAMPBELL LEGISLATIVE RECORD SERVED THE PEOPLE OF CLACK AMAS COUNTY WITH ABIL ITY LAST SESSION. James U. Campbell, who is seek ing the nomination on the Republi can ticket for the Legislature, has served one term In that body and made a splendid record. He advocates more stringent Bank ing Laws, Preservation of Natural resources. One Normal school and abolition of all others. Keeping tax roll open a greater length of time and the payment of taxes by the counties to the state in monthly Installments. He has subscribed to Statement No. 1. In attempting to give a line on the work of the members of the last leg islature, The Portland Telegram after the session ended, published a flat tering statement relative to Mr. Campbell's ability and the things he accomplished. In an editorial The Telegram said: "For forty days a body of men have been engaged in doing public, work at the Legislature. Some of them have done well, some of them not so well, ,vhllo a proportion undoubtedly have served rather the special Interests than the public. During this long term it is next to impossible for a .'to"'-' 'rW-o v-V ' " "4 man to hide from a close and unpreju diced observer where he really stands. On this basis he Is entitled to praise or blame, and it Is only fair that his constituents, wherever they may be, should be given a line on the men so thnt whon they next appear for public office they may know precisely what to expect from them.". Under the heading of "Campbell Clean Polltlelan," the Telegram said: "J. U. Campbell was emphatically a 'fornluster.' He was the best parlia mentarian In tho House, a resource ful tighter, usually had to battle with the other leaders and the Speaker be sides, and yet won as many battles as any member. He introduced few bills and helped kill scores. He fought every big appropriation as a matter of course, whether the appropriation was needed or not, and he caused the ma jority in the House more uneasy hours than any other half dozen men. No one ever said that Campbell did not fight fair, and no ono accused him of pledging his support to a measure aud then betraying the trust, as oth ers In the House did, and no one ever did parliamentary battle with him without knowing that he had been through something. Campbell Is a politician, but a clean one. He was tho only man on the floor of the Houso this session who had backbone enough to stand up and be counted when there were 59 members against him, aud the only man who dared cut loose from tie-ups and tell the machine to do Its worst. Ho manufactured a record that will make mighty good reading for his constituents, and gen erally headed the procession though often there was only one In the pro- Don't overlook1 the oppor- S 8 tunity to get a year's subscrip- 3 $ tion to the Oregon City Cour- S ler, the American Farmer and $ the Metropolitan Magazine all Q for $1.75.

The Telegram speaks of a "Small Band of Notables," and says: In the little band of men to be noted may be Included Speaker Frank Davey, of Marlon, John B. Coffey and John Driscoll of Multnomah, J. U. Campbell of Clackamas-Multnomah, George F. Rodgers of Marlon, C. S. Jackson of Douglas, W. K. Newell ol Washington, W. I. Vawter of Douglas-Jackson, and John C. McCue of Clatsop. There were other men who were known for bills they Introduced, as Chapin of Multnomah and Burns of Multnomah; there were men who became known for some one fight, as Eaton, of Lane In the university strug gle and Rothchild for his tribute to Bryan; others who were known for one policy, as Purdy for economy and Edwards for advocacy of normals by the dozen, but the handful mentioned were the real workers in the House, so far as debate, manipulation or con test went. Good Word for Campbell. During the last session of the State Legislature, J. H. Fletcher was a cor respondent for several of the news papers of the State. He was present at Salem during the entire session and kept a close watch on proceedings. In the issue of the St. Johns Review of March 8, Mr. Fletcher reviewed the work of the legislature, and said that the body as a whole was not particu larly commendable as a rule. The ex ception he made is shown in the fol lowing article: , "There were several members in both house and senate who honestly tried to do their duty to their consti tuents. And foremost among these, allow me to say was our joint repre sentative, Hon. James U. Campbell, of Oregon City. Representing as he did a class who were largely Inhabi tants of cities and towns, I did not look for this. But from the very start he took a manly stand in behalf of the laboring classes. So far as I can see he supported every measure calculat ed to benefit the state, and he stoutly opposed everything that looked like graft or a useless waste of the public funds. The people of St. Johns would do well to remember him should they ever have a chance to vote for him again. He was Indeed the friend of the people. Such men are scarce and should be appreciated when we have them. Addressing the House shortly before the legislature adjourned, Mr. Campbell said: "The way this legis lature has appropriated money out of the treasury for various purposes In different parts of the State, reminds me of a gang of robbers gathered to gether to divide the loot." i V "a -..!

STUART, Republican Candidate at Primary Election for Coroner, i I am a candidate because I believe a physician Is better qualified to per form the duties of Coroner, besides reducing for the county the expenses of the office; also because the pres ent coroner, R. L. Holman, aksed me to become a candidate giving me his word of honor that he would not be a candidate again (for the 3d or 4th term). I most respectfully ask your sup nort, voters and tax payers, promis ing efficiency and economy in all things. DR. C. A. STUART. ty MOODY GAINING OmuUND. A Strenuous and Clean Fight for As sessor on Republican Ticket. Harry S. Moody, candidate for as sessor on the Republican ticket Is putting up a vigorous campaign and is undoubtedly gaining strength every day. His platform meets with the ap proval of nearly all the Republican voters. The energy and enthusiasm which he displays In behalf of an equitable and just assessment Is coimting votes for Harry. What es pecially Is noted Is the fairness with which he treats the other candidates for the same office. He is certainly making a clean, decent campaign with lots of push and vim. These are qual ities that are needed In the next as sessor of Clackamas County. The fact that he has never before held a coun ty office, and that he stands for a new deal and a just assessment counts. E. D. OLDS, Statement No. 1 Candi date for Representative.
