11 RECORD IS DODGED Republicans Say Democrats "Duck" Discussion of Past. PARTY GOAT MADE FUN OF 'Where Has, Dr. Smith Displayed Fitness for Governorship?" One Question and Editor's "Greater Oregon" RlcUcnle Is Scored. The Republican state central com mittee, through its press bureau, yes terday gave out the following for pub lication: "The one serious task confronting the committee Is to force the Demo cratic press and candidates Into a dis cussion of their political record. It is a constant game of hide and seek. Two years ago. on the day following the Presidential election, one of the Wilson managers in a public interview gave the anti-Roosevelt Republicans credit for throwing the state to Wil son. With a poll indicating inai, wnu all Republicans voting their real choice, the state would go for Taft. the Republican chairman lost his repu tation as a prophet by placing Wilson third. His prophecy, like the Legis lative record of Dr. Smith, has now returned to vex him. His enemies are now shouting 'ha-ha' in the pub lic press and are seeking to accomp lish his utter humiliation. Pary out's Pastime Told. "A political chairman is the party sjoat. Dr. Smith's editor, leaving the task of constructing Dr. Withycombe's platform to the especially-selected Dem ocratic campaign committee, is now playing with the goat and pulling his whiskers.' It pleases the editor and it loes not annoy the goat. save for the reason that, being a somewhat stuDid animal, he does not see what it has to do with the real issues of the campaign. When does the good brother Intend to get squarely down to ro:il hiisiness? "The attractive personal qualities of Senator Chambrelain and Dr. famitn will not protect them from legitimate political criticism. They are begging for Rontibliean votes, but neither of them has ever supported a Republican candidate or a Republican measure. Among their party friends they boast of their orthodoxy and urge every Democrat to vote the ticket straight. But the non-partisan game has been played out. The vote of Senator Cham berlain for a Democratic tariff bill that strikes down a half-dozen of the lead ing industries of Oregon was not a non-partisan vote. Why all of this desperate game of trading off every other Democratic candidate to save Chamberlain? Simply that a Demo cratic Administration may be perpetu ated at Washington. Dr. Smith's Past Recalled. "Where has Dr. Smith ever displayed any fitness for an efficient discharge of the duties of the Governorship? When did he ever support a Repub lican candidate or a Republican meas ure? What Democratic candidate is he now urging Democrats to scratch? Has he the necessary decision of char acter to make a good Governor? If so. why did he halt and hesitate for nearly six weeks to answer Mr. URen's letter as to his stand on pro hibition? Would he not have hesitated for another six weeks in answering the second letter, except for the fact that all tn other candidates had agreed to maintain a position of neutrality? Why was it necessary first to appeal to Governor West, instead of to the people direct, for permission to run in the Democratic primaries? Why were Bennett and Manning so bitter ly denounced in the executive office at Salem and in the Journal office In Portland as utterly unfit for the support of any progressive Democrat? Why did Dr. Smith, in his service in the Legislature, vote against only four of the 24 extravagant appropria tion bills that were vetoed during his terra of service? Why did he confine his negative votes to four insignifi cant bills that carried a total of ap propriations of less than J100.000? If he had been Governor would he have vetoed even these four little bills? Is this Dr. Smith who voted for all these extravagant bills, appropriating hun dreds of thousands of dollars, the same Dr. Smith who is now, as a candidate for Governor, so fiercely opposed to wasting the taxpayers" money? Is an easy-going, well-meaning man in the Governor's chair the taxpayers' best safeguard? Queries Put tu Editor. "Dr. Smith's editor delights in ridi culing the speeches of Dr. Withycombe urging the Importance of developing the great resources of Oregon. They are contemptuously referred to as canned speeches on 'Greater Oregon.' What does a Democratic editor living on rfew Zealand butter and Austra lian mutton and Chinese eggs care for Greater Oregon' or her resources? What are the millions of dollars In vested in the dairy business in this state to him? What is it to him that Swedish paper manufacturers are bid ding to deliver paper on the Pacific Coast at a figure that cuts off the entire profit of the Oregon paper mills? What is it to him that in four months under a Democratic tariff the shingle makers of British Columbia shipped in 1482 carloads of shingles, against an average annual shipment of only 20 carloads under the old tar iff? What Is It to him that Oregon lumber dealers, before the days of free Panama tolls and free lumber, were already working at a disadvan tage in competition with the lumber of British Columbia? What is it to him ' that in only eight months under the ne-jv tariff the balance of trade was over $200,000,000, against us, and that all of this money is practically taken out of the pockets of American labor and American capital? What Is 'Great er Oregon.' forsooth, and her resources, when weighed in the balance against the urgent needs of the Democratic office-holders and office-seekers of the country?" PERSONAL MENTION. G.

"I found him trying to pull up a lamppost on Burnslde street," averred Patrolman Sneddon. 'Was he meeting with any degree of success? queried the Judge. "Apparently not," replied the officer. "The post is still there." "How drunk was he?" "So drunk he couldn't give his name. I booked him as John Doe." "How far is it to Silver Lake, Web ber?" asked the Judge, turning to the prisoner. " 'Bout 75 miles." "Weren't you tired after your walk?" "Oh, klnda fagged." "What did you come to town for?" "Vacation." "How are you going to get back?" "Walk." "Let's see how quick you can start. And don't darken the portals of this fair city again until you get another vacation." 3 FIRES RAGE, MAN HURT Six Structures Burned and One Oc cupant Is Injured.
