The "Independent Candidates for legislature by"manag"ing committee"
of Multnomah County are circulating through, the United States , mails a
most villianous, cowardly, false and criminally libelous attack on 'my charac
ter and that of the following named gentlemen, as r well as many others whose
names I do not recall, who were at various times guests of Mr.. Jonathan'
Bourne, Jr., in the Eldredge Block at Salem, during the holdup legislative
session of 1897: ;

Among other lies you charge us with being "blackguards, pimps, gamb
lers, grafters, and thugs" and say: "Dissolute women were also employed for
the free use of the gang." . ..'
These charges are not signed, but they are printed on a separate sheet
and included in the same envelope with a reprint of an advertisement from
the Morning Oregonian of April 10th, ,1906 entitled "Bourne's Double Deal
ing," and signed, "Independent Candidates for Legislature by Managing
Committee." -.' , . : . ,.
I say to you that y5ur charges are absolutely and maliciously false.
I further say to you, speaking from personal knowledge, that Mr. Bourne's
entertainment was the same that a gentleman offers' to his guests in his own
home in the presence of his wife and daughters.
No words have been coined which will express the loathing men feel
for creatures who circulate such libels and have- not the courage to sign
their names. There are among you,7 men of reputed 'good character, but
I respectfully submit to the voters of Multnomah County and Oregon, that
candidates who employ a "Managing Committee' so lost to all sense of de
cency, courage, honor and self respect, are themselves unworthy to receive
the vote or confidence of honorable men.

Taxpayer Tells Why Man From Har

. I being a taxpayer in the large
county of Clackamas where all pub

County Commissioner on the Board
who is familiar; with the building of
County-roads and keeping the same in

improved County roads have been
built under the supervision of W. H.
Counsell who is a candidate for the
nomination for - County Commission

lieve that it is for the best interests
of every taxpayer in Clackamas Coun

their best endeavors to sceure the
nomination and also the election of
Mr. Counsell for County Commission
er, and then Clackamas County will
have a thorough and competent road
builder on the Board of County Com
missioners, and. one who will be of
great value in every part of Clackamas
County where improved roads are to
be built. The work that Mr. Counsell
performed on, the Logan and Viola
roads, does credit to himself and also
to the County Court who secured his
services, and I as a taxpayer, who lives
and have announced my candidacy for ' on the Viola . road and became ac
quainted witn tne successful methods
employed by , Mr. Counsell can safely
say that he saved the County large

A LIBERAL OFFER TO CURE INDI
GESTION. No Reason Why Any Oregon City Res
ident Should Suffer Any Longer.
Many observant Oregon City people
who have been reading from time to
sums of money by thoroughly under- time of the remarkable cures made by

the taxpayers of Clackamas County
will agree with me, that at least one
of the County Commissioners on the
Board should be thoroughly acquaint
ed with the methods of building and
maintaining our public highways.
Respectfully submitted,

Salem, Oregon, April, 17, 1906.
TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS:
In the interest of my opponents there is being distributed anonymously
a printed circular attributing to me statements and opinions concerning John
Brown which Were read by me chiefly from the Republican platform of 1860,
Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, and from Burgess' "The Middle
Period." This circular, would make it appear that these were my own personal
opinions, which is not true, but were quotations referring to the subject under
discussion, "The Rise and Fall of the Slave Power." v
In a lecture of seventy-five minutes duration the reference to John
Brown was brief and incidental. I compared him to no other person what
ever. Thfs lecture has been delivered many times, before and since, entirely
as at Eugene, twice at Gladstone Chautauqua. Many veterans have heard
it, and never occasioned adverse comment at any other time. The lecture
was not on John Brown, so I expressed no personal opinion and made no at
tempt to take from him any fame justly due him as a factoj in shaping the
history of that period..
As a descendent of Northern anti-slavery a.ncestry, all the opponents
of that institution are interesting characters to me. John Brown's place in
history must be determined by his services, his purposes, his wisdom and his
deeds. ' "
The following statement has been made by the veterans and members
of the G. A. R. of my home town: .
Salem, Oregon, April 14,
As a circular signed by a well known populist is beirfg circulated in the
First Congressional District by the competitors of Prof. Hawley, the evident
object of which is to discredit Mr. Hawley with the members of the G. A. R.
and other patriotic citizens we, as veterans of the Civil War and members
of the G. A. R., desire to publicly protest against it as an utterly unjust at
tack upon a worthy man. It is a garbled anJ distorted statement cunningly
worded to give an utterly false impression. . .
Mr. Hawley has been a resident of this community for nearly twenty
years, and has frequently shown himself, in his addresses and otherwise, to
be a. friend and champion of the old soldier. It is our judgment that he will
receive almost the solid vote of the veterans of this community. ' . .
