MR. E. V. GARTER,
Candidate for State Treasurer,
Dear " Sir:
As you have established the precedent in this campaign of writing open
letters to the other candidates for the office which you seek, I take this oppor
tunity of RETURNING THE COMPLIMENT BY PRESENTING SOME
QUERIES TO YOU.
Do you carry in your pocket two letters, both addressed "To Whom It
May Concern," signed by A. L. Mills and T. C. Atnsworth, respectively, sup
porting your candidacy?
Did not you come to Portland last week for the express purposes of seek
ing the support of the brewing and liquor interests?
Did you'not, personally, visit them and ask for their support on the ground
that you had succeeded finally in getting your home town, Ashland, 4wet"?
Did not these gentlemen tell you that the State Treasurer's office had no
connection with their business, and that they did not propose to get into a fight
which was none of their affair?
Did you not say that if you could not get the organized support of these
interests, that you would seek the organized suppoort of the Anti-Saloon
League? and certain political preachers?
Is it not a fact that Mr. A. L. Mills has written many letters to the
correspondents of the First National Bank throughout the state asking . that
they support your candidacy? ,
I regret that you have seen fit to. introduce personalities into this
campaign, but I do not propose to sit idly by and let you mislead the pub
lic. Yours respectfully,
RALPH W. HOYT,
Candidate for State Treasurer.
mann, Williamson, and Mitchell had
them. That is more than Porter has
got, and, then I am going to get a job
at five a day and I will get you one
if you will vote for Brownell."
"Hello! here is Canby."
So I lost the cream of the conver
sation. ' RUBBER NECK.
FOR CORONER.
To the Republican Voters of
Clackamas County, Oregon:
I am a candidate for the nom-.
ination of Coroner of the Coun
ty, subject to the will of the
people to be expressed at the
primaries April 20th, I have
lived in the county many years,
making my home for most of
the time at Canby and Oregon
City, in which latter place I am
now engaged in the undertak
ing business. - My opponent,
R. L. Holmn, has been elect
ed for two consecutive terms,
to this office, and is now striv
ing for a third term in opposi
tion to my candidacy. The
time honored rule in Clacka
mas County has been one of
open revolt against what is
known as the third term. Not
only has Mr. Holman had the
office for two consecutive
terms, but hi has had the busi
ness of the office directly or in
directly for twelve years or
more. ;
Fair play in politics demands
that there should be a .limit
somewhere to a man's ambi
tionsxfor the same County of
fice. I believe I am fairly en
titled tp the nomination. I am
asking "for the office for the
first-time, my opponent for the
third time. I am a tax payer
and my opponent is not.
The only promise I have to
make is, that if elected, I will
conduct the office according to
law and in the interestsvof the
taxpayers of Clackamas Coun
ty and will not ask for a third
term.
W. M. SHANK,
Leading Undertaker and Em-balmer.
Is there a true Republican in this
County free from fraud, who is not in
accord with President Roosevelt in his
effort to convict and punish those en
gaged in fraud? If, you are, how in
the name of God, can you vote for
Brownell? Republicans who wish for
a higher standard of politics and the
success of the party will not, I hope.
.'L. L. Porter may not be the best
man in Clackamas County, buf I have
heard several prominent business men
in Oregon City say that Mr. Porter
was honest. Did you ever hear any
one say such a thing of Brownell? I
hope that every Republican who stands
for reform in politics will go to the
polls as soon as they are open and
work for Willis C. Hawley for Cong
ress, and L. L. Porter for State Sena
tor. Then we will have started to
clean up a little.
