CORVALLS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVqSING HAY 29, 1906.
HAS IT COME TO THIS?
Has it come to this, that .the
sovereign republican voters ofSen-
too don't know how to vote, and
that little wiggle-waggles must is
sue great orders telling ,iem what
they must and what they must not
do? Great Scott; is all the know
ledge as to republican principles
and republican privileges concen-
, trated, focused and centralized in
the little stretch of territory
from Jim Smith's hardware store
via George Smith's to John Allen's
drug store? Are these three, Josh
uas who have received the word
direct and before whom the rest of
: the party must crawl on their bellies
and In servile prostration get their
instructions? Where are the Ed
wards, the Henkles, the Starrs, the
Belknaps, the Carters, the Fehlers,
the Parleys, and hundreds of other
thinking, intelligent republicans,
each of whom the wiggle-waggles
propose to brand with a big hot
branding iron, and then to put a
blind bridle on him and lead him
to the. voting booth and vote him
like a spotted calf. Behold the
picture, "Bring Joe Edwards"
quoth Chairman Smith. "Bring
Joe Edwards," echoes Secretary
Allen, and Roadmaster Smith leads
Edwards into the branding stall.
"Brand" commands Chairman
Smith with an imperial wave of the
hand, and "Brand" is the word
that Secretary Allen passes along.
"Zi-s-iz-z-wu-u ugh!" as the road
master socks the hot branding iron
on Joe's hip and the smoke fogs as
Joe yells and tries to burst out of
the pen. "Branded" shouts the
roadmaster; "branded" echoes Sec
retary Allen, and then with a sec
ond wave of his imperial hand,
"Bridle him" shouts Chairman
Smith. The secretary pries open
Mr. Edward's mouth with a rusty
harrow tooth and the road master
puts ou a blind bridle. 'Bridled' '
shouts the road master; 'bridled"
echoes Secretary Allen, and then
in a loud voice of command, "Vote
him" shouts the chairman. And
Joseph Edwards a proud spirited
republican who had always thought
as a sovereign American citizen he
had the right to vote as he pleased,
branded and bridled, is led away to
the voting booth by Roadmaster
Smith and there made to vote as
the wiggle-waggles say. "Bring on
Ed Belknap" thunders Chairman
Smith. "Ed Belknap" echoes the
secretary, and so on, one by one
they intend to brand, bridle and
vote them. Great guns: what a
pass for the republicans of Benton,
a high-minded, intelligent and hon
orable lot, to be brought to. Brand
ed by Jim, bridled by John and
voted by Roadmaster Smith!
NOT BECAUSE HEKEEDS IT.
Although the salary of the of
fice would be very acceptable to him
and his family, it is not on that
ground that he needs the place that
Harley Hall bases his candidacy
for the office of county recorder.
The claim his friends make is that
he is perfectly qualified, and that
if elected he would make a most
capable and most loyal official. His
friends also urge that no man could
be more obliging and more kindly
in his dealings with the public, for
Harley Hall is a genial, kind-hearted,
straight-forward lad who is
as kindly to all people p.t all times
as he is at election time. Every
vote bestowed on him will be com
pletely deserved and unfalteringly
repaid in good, honest service, if he
be elected.
Many a time during the 30 years
he served as county clerk, the late
Bush Wilson would have been de
feated but for democrats that rallied
to his support. He was a republican
but that made no difference, for he
was a tried and true officer and the
people didn't like to make a change
A farmer never, if he can help it,
changes a tried and true hired man
for a green one, and that is why
they kept Mr. " Wilson in office.
For the same reason, many a citizen
of Benton wants Victor Moses re
tained as clerk now.
