Corvallis Times
CORVALLIS, OREGON,
"TUESDAY EVENING MAY 15, 190t
BANNER PRECINCTS, BUT
Philomath precinct asked modest'
ly for representation on the Benton
county republican ticket. So did
Bellfountain. Those requests under
every circumstance, it would seem,
ought to have been honored. Both
are banner republican precincts,
and each has been a bulwarks
of - republicanism in this county
from time immemorial. 'In the
light of the majorities that both
these precincts have rolled up for
republican candidates, time after
time, it is inconceivable that both
should have been ingloriously turn
ed down.
Both precincts presented two
candidates, and asked modestly for
the nomination of at least one. What
they got was soup, soup, soup. Mr.
Belknap, Mr. Williams, Mr. Jolly,
Mr. Edwards, are all men of the
first class, all pillars in precincts to
which Benton republicans owe more
jn the way of majorities than to all
the rest of the precincts in the coun
ty combined, but their names, po
litically, are "Dennis." The little
job worked effectively, and it is not
surprising that some of the candi
dates who got, on the ticket and
some of their friends who helped til
turn the trick, grin and wink ona
eye significantly now wheneven
Bellfountain and Philomath pre
cinets are mentioned.
AS TO VETOES.
At the second legislative session
in his term as governor, Chamber
lain vetoed 15 bills, of which but
two were passed over the veto. Of
the others, all were either sustained
by the legislature, or else were
filed after adjournment and are
morally certain to be sustained by
the next legislature. The effect
will be, admission by the legisla
ture itself that Chamberlain was
right 13 times, and the legislature
wrong 13 times.
At the first session in his term,
Chamberlain vetoed 14 bills. Like
those of the second session, many
of these bills carried large appro
priations. Not a single one of them
was passed over Chamberlain's ve
toes, but on the contrary, everyone
of them was sustained by the leg
islature itself. Thus, a legislature
overwhelmingly republican, by
sustaining the 14 vetoes, publicly
confessed that it had been wrong
14 times in passing them and that
Chamberlain had been right 14
times in vetoeing them. It is
doubtful if any governor of any
state at any time, ever received
from a hostile legislature, an en-
dorsement so extraordinary.
In his one term, Chamberlain ve
toed 29 bills. In two terms Pen
noyer, who until Chamberlain had
vetoed more bills than all other
Oregon governors combined, vetoed
in all, 20 bills. Geer vetoed but
three bills. Lord vetoed no bills.
Moody vetoed no bills.
ever vetoes a bill passed by a re
publican legislature because to use
the veto freely would make enem
ies for him among the powerful men
in his own party and ruin him poli
tically. It is always best to have
the governor of one party and the
legislature of the other. Then one
is a check upon the other, and that
saves money to the taxpayers. The
20 vetoes by Pennoyer and the 29
by Chamberlain, to the three in all
by Moody, L.ord and Geer prove it.
AS TO HARLEY HALL.
The candidacy of Harley L,. Hall
for recorder is that of a young man
of slender means asking for election
to an office for which he is per
fectly qualified. He is 26 years of
age, and has a family." For a year
he has resided in Job's addition,
Corvallis, in a small cottage that
represents the sum total of his ac
cumulations. Before , that, for a
little more than a year, he resided
on a thirty acre farm west of Cor
vallis, and before that, all his life
from the time he was four years of
age, was spent on a Soap creek
, farm. He is the son of A. J. Hall,
known for a long period of years
throughout Benton county as one
of its most popular farmers. The
younger Hall was educated in the
public schools and in the State
Agricultural College. His quali
fications for the office of recorder
are acknowledged by all, whether
friendly to his candidacy or not.
As a genial, open-hearted straight
forward young man it is but natur,
al that, his candidacy should be
come more and more popular, and
that is exactly what is happening
from limit to limit of the county.
JUST SO.
The republican party is bigger
than any man in it. Many a time
it would have been better for tha t
party if candidates on its ticket had
been beaten at the polls. Hermann,
a congressman from Oregon, skulk
ing around the corridors at Wash
ington, and slipping in to draw his
salary, is a case in point. And
there are others. How infinitely
better for the party, if republicans
had voted against Mr. Hermann,
so that when indicted, it had not
been a republican congressman
from Oregon on whom the stigma
fell.
As remarked above, the republic
an party is bigger than any man in
it, and many a republican does his
party a real service by voting for
an occasional democrat.

FELT THE EARTHQUAKE.
And Simpson's Pheasants Gave the
Alarm.
Gene Simpson has been in the
business of rearing China pheasants
for some years and he gives close
attention to their habits. When
anything unusual occurs : about
their pend. especially at night, the
birds set up a noisy chattering or
cackling. A midnight fire in the
city or in the vicinity always causes
them to set up a wild chorus. Just
at the time of the San Francisco
earthquake Mr. Simpson heard his
birds in one of their excited moods
and he dressed and went out to dis
cover the cause. So far as he
could determine, there was nothing
wrong and concluded that the birds
had given a false alarm. When,
however, the news of the earth
quake came, and of the slight tre
mors in parts of this state, Mr.
Simpson was able to account for the
excited state of his birds at 5: 15
o'clock a. m., April 18th. Mr.
Simpson is firm in the belief that
the pheasants were cognizant of the
seismic disturbance.
