Questions of Campaign.'
THOMAS MTTSKER, A REFCB
LICAN" For the Information of the voters
of Multnomah County. The Orego
nlan wishes to call attention to the
fact that Thomaa McCusker la the
only Republican candidate for Repre
aentatlve In Concress from this dis
trict. Mr. McCusker's opponent. Laf
ferty. received the Republican nom
ination In the primary election, but
oon after that election Lafferty re
nounced the Republican party and ita
nomination. Identified himself with
the Bull Moose organisation and ac
cepted the nomination of the third
party for that office. Because of a
provision In the primary law. Mr.
McCusker is prevented from using the
party designation Republican after
his name, which appears on the bal
lot as an Independent candidate. But
this omission des -not affect Mr.
McCusker's Republicanism with those
who know him. He Is the only Re
publican candidate before the voters
of Multnomah County for this office.
"Trie) first plank of my platform per
taining to the opening of the Columbia
River into British Columbia must be
good, as Senator chamberlain has since
advocated it In his speeches and re
reived favorable editorial comment In
the Journal therefor, and Senator
Bourne is advocating the same improve
ment In his paid advertisements." said
Thomxs McCusker. independent Repub
lican candidate for Representative, in
Confess from this district, last night.
"I am exceedingly glad that I have
suggested something that will start
these gentlemen into action for the ben
efit of the state, and if I am elected,
they, no doubt, would co-operate with
m In securing for Oregon what I con
sider second only in importance to the
Panama Canal. It will not be egotistical
for me to say that I am more familiar
with this subject than either of those
gentlemen, due to my long association
with the traffic department of railroads,
and my knowledge of the resources
and needs of the state. I have made
this a study, and am very much Inter
ested In seeing it consummated.
Alaska Coal Mining Favored.
"Regarding that part of my platform
dealing with Alaska coal. I will say
that all consumers of fuel, factories and
Individuals, are Interested in this, as
the cast of fuel Is quite a factor in the
high cost of living. This can be)
brought about, and is of far more Im
portance to the individual voter than is
the spending of a lot of money for cer
tain improvements for which ho pays,
and which may benefit the pocketbooks
of a few individuals.
"I am In hearty accord with any im
provements that will benefit the city
and state, and I believe those things
having merit will take care of them
selves, while it Is most important to
enact some legislation that will benefit
th masses by reducing the cost of liv
ing. "As to the extension of the Postal
Savings bank, I believe the limit should
bes taken off the amount one can de
posit, which will act as a sure preven
tion of panics, as the big interests
which own the private savings banks
would not dare to create a panic under
such conditions.
Farmers Should lie Aided.
"I believe with President Taft that
there should be a liberal credit system
for farmers, so as to enable them to se
cure cheap loans; but I would favor the
Government loaning direct from the
postal savings bank at a low rate of
Interest, not only to the farmer, but
also to the small home-owner. This
also would be a factor in reducing the
high cost of living.
"I think my platform will appeal to
the Intelligent voter, as it does not
consist of 'hot air," but Is based on
sound Judgment, and means more than
Idle promises."
McCaaker Present Platform.
The following is Mr. McCusker-s plat
form: I favor the co-operation of the United
Ftates with the Canadian government in
- opening the Columbia River into British Co
lumbia, thereby draining a vast territory
Into Portland, which "would make it the
greatest wheat market In the world, and,
with the completion of the Panama Canal,
the foremost city of the Pacific Coast.
I favor a 30-foot channel to the sea, with
a 40-foot depth of bar.
I favor Government aid in deepening the
upper Willamette River and its tributaries.
I favor the Government working the Alas
ka coal mines with American labor, trans
porting the coal la Government-owned ves
sels, and selling to the consumer at actual
cost.
I favor free tolls for American ship
through the Panama Canal, and the fortifi
cation of the canal by this Government.
I favor the prohibition of railroad-owned
or controlled steamship competition In the
Canal Zone.
I fajor the prohibition of railroad-owned
or controlled steamship competition on an;
river or other water that would be detri
mental to commerce.
I favor a substantial navy, as I believe
such Is necessary in order to maintain our
commercial supremacy until sut-h time is
there shall be compulsory International ar
bitration. Liberal Wage Favored.
I favor a liberal wage scale and reasonable
hours for working people, and a just and
equitable worklngman's Compensation act.
I favor the passage of lsws that will pre
vent gambling In the necessities of life.
I favor the direct primaries and the ex
tension of the popular government laws to
the election of President and United States
Senators by popular vote.
1 favor a permanent tariff commission,
thereby taking the tariff out of politics.
I favor a revision of the tariff downward,
and Government regulation of trusts.
I favor National aid for publlo highways,
and co-operation with the states in their
const ruction.
I favor conservation of the fish industries
of the country, and restocking by artificial
propagation.
I favor parcels post, and extension of the
poStal savings bank.
i favor the phvsical valuation of railroads
as the taals for making of rates.
I favor the conservation of the water
powers of the country to the people.
If the railroad lands are forfeited to the
Government. I favor same being conveyed
to the state for distribution to the people

Republican Nominee for Slieritl De
clares He AVI1I, ir Elected,
Entoroe-AU Ias.
PORTLAND. Nov. 3. (To tlie .Kdi
tor.) I have refrained from protesting
against the decidedly unfriendly edi
torial comment you have made regard
ing my- candidacy for the office of
Sheriff, as I appreciated the fact that
the editorial columns reflected your In
dividual opinion and preferences, to
which you. of course, were entitled,
without recourse or protest from those
whom you criticise. As your local
news columns, however, are supposed
to be fair and impartial and you have
printed a great deal of laudatory com
ment for my Democratic opponent.. Mr.
Word, and much that directly or by in
nuendo reflects on me. I respectfully
ask space for a brief statement refut
ing some of the charges that have been
made in your news columns. In to
day's paper, for instance, Mr. V ord
valiantly announces that he is "fight
ing for the protection of our homes,
and that "the good people of Portland
are behind me (Word), thoroughly
aroused to the danger that threatens
their homes and children."
Now. any "real danger that is
threatening the homes and children can
eaily be averted or removed. They
will be Just as safe with a Republican
in the Sheriffs office as they would be
with . Democrat. If elected, I will en
force all the laws, without fear or fa
vor, and there are sufficient laws on
the statute-books to protect the chil
dren1 and the homes and business and
society in general.
Mr. Word had'.an excellent opportu
nity to test his popularity and the
merit of his work six years ago. He
had' had a term in the Sheriff s office
and came up for re-election on exactly
the same platform-as that on which he
is running today. He was defeated by
the narrow margin of five votes. Mr.
Word cropped up again four years ago,
flaunting the same old bugaboo. . Then
he was defeated by more than 4000
votes by the same man whom he en
deavored to defeat six years agoT To
allay Mr. Words fears for the "homes
and children" I will state that one of
my running mates on the Republican
ticket, Mr. Walter Evans, will be on
j ,1 ntstrlrt Attnrnev after Janu.
inv juu no '
ary 1. and that If anyone starts any
thing detrimental io m
children." or anything else dangerous
to society or business or in defiance
of the law,, he will not get very far
with it. ,, .
r ..... f,ins from maklncr this a
personal fight and have endeavored to
i III. . . lraAn If- o 1 no n
the best oi my ...
but as my opponent is endeavoring to
make a good deal of capital out of the
alleged support of the North End, I
would like to have him explain why
ex-Chief of Police Cox, who was indict
ed for the very evils which Mr. Word is
assailing, is now working night and
day In the North End saloons endeav
oring to swing them to- Word. And
while Mr.' Cox Is working the North
End slums, Mr. Wilson, a defeated can
didate for Sheriff at the primaries, and
the proprietor of an auction house
which at any time may be the subject
of a call from the Sheriff's office. Is
endeavoring to line up the church peo
ple with Cox" North End allies. As you
will notice, with these two exceptons. -have
the support of every candidate
that ran against me at the primaries.
Personalities are distasteful to me,
and for that reason I have said nothing
about Mr. Word's record at Skagway
and a number of other places in the
Northwest, but the voters of Multno
mah County are fairly familiar with it,
and with my own record. If they will
Investigate both, I am willing to stand
or fall by their judgment. If elected I
will see that all of the laws are en
forced, including that which provides
for Sunday closing of saloons a stat
ute which was never enforced during
the administration of Mr. Word. I
have no intention of" making the de
mands on your space that, have been
made by Mr. Word, but trust that you
will print this partially to make
amends for the misrepresentation that
has unintentionally cipt into your
news columns.

Who Is the Liar, Now
Charles H. Shields has been termed a liar.
And the men who have so termed him are those who
have been saying there is Single Tax in British Columbia,
Everybody knows now there are more personal prop
erty taxes in British Columbia than there are in Oregon.
And they know now that the Single Taxers would ex
empt $350,000,000 of personal property from taxation in
Oregon just to steal land and give it to the state.
What would you call the men who say there IS Single
Tax in British Columbia?
But this is about that Alberta situation. From some
little Single Tax Mayor in Alberta the, Single Taxers
publish a statement that Shields lied when he said that
20 Alberta cities were bankrupt as a result of Single Tax.
Did Shields Lie?
Read this from the Calgary Herald of September 12,
1912: - .
"Representatives of 20 Alberta towns have met to pro
test against the action of the Sifton Government m forci
bly imposing a Single Tax system of taxation upon them.
' "The matter is being brought up at a convention of
Alberta municipalities and convenes today in Innisfail.
.
"The result has been disastrous to a number of Alberta
towns. Their finances are well nigh paralyzed.
"Single Tax as applied to .their, land or on any reason
able basis of assessment, whatever, does not come to
near supplying their actual needs. Public works have
had to be stopped. Public service is demoralized. Public
officials cannot get their money. And even schoolteachers
have been held up for their salaries because the municipal
ities have been unable to establish a new basis of
revenue." '
Who Is the Liar Now?
r Read this, too, from the Didsbury Pioneer of Septem
ber 18:
Taxes Eight Per Cent
"The meeting of the Alberta municipalities held at
Innisfail last week, brought out the fact that there is a
tremendous lot of dissatisfaction with the powers that be
at Edmonton over the new Town Act.
"It will set them back for some time to come till they
can see a way to readjust their affairs to suit the new;
conditions that have arisen because they will object to
striking a tax rate of from 8 to 10 per cent on land."
Who Is the Liar?
Is Charles H. Shields a liar?
Or are Mr. U'Een, his friends and that' Edmonton
Mayor the liars ?-
Think, then vote.
t The numbers against Single Tax are:
308 x Yes
