Pacific Christian Advocate Styles 'Preposterous" Attack on Candi date for Senate. Who Is Known as "a True Man.' THE idea that a few self-seeking politicians, determined to stoop to any methods to carry out their pro gramme, have discovered, all in a mo ment, in Robert A. Booth a personal unfitness, concealed from his most inti mate associates of a lifetime, is prop erly designated "preposterous" by the Pacific Christian Advocate. How Mr. Booth stands among his fel low townsmen and fellow church mem bers and among all who have known him for any length of time is related by that journal as follows: "It does not take long to discover a counterfeit. The resemblance may be perfect and thereby the eye may be de ceived. Even the sound, "the ring," may at times cause one to have confidence, but repeated tests bring to the trained ear the false note of spurious metal. Sometimes we find men in whom we had placed our trust who prove false and utterly unworthy. Repeated trial is the true test of character. And character is the most precious asset any man has. Bad men and weak men, in their extremity, will try to destroy even that, Shapespeare says: "He who Bteals my purse steals trash: But he who takes from me my good name. Takes that which doth not enrich him self. And makes me poor indeed.' "When will men realize the tremen dous truth of these words? We were astonished a few days ago to read in the papers that Hon. R. A. Booth had been accused of 'wearing religion as a cloak to cover up his evil deeds. It seems unnecessary for us to refute such an unwarranted statement. Such unjustifiable attacks should discredit all the accusations of his political enemies. Having been born and reared in Oregon; the son of an honored re tired member of this conference: the head of a Christian home; a life-long, active member of the church; our lead ing philanthropist and supporter of Christian education; repeatedly hon ored by his brother laymen and hon ored almost revered by his towns men and friends; such a man. active - - In city, county, state and National af fairs, successfully deceiving his friends for a third of a century? Can any thing be more preposterous? "It would be ridiculous were It not so serious. The person who will as sassinate a man's character without cause places himself upon a plane be neath that to which he would precipi tate Ms victim. To know Robert A. Booth is to know a true man." Thomas M. Hurlburt Makes Promises to Women. Republican Nominee for Sheriff Will tinard Girls From Pltfalla and Invites Sex to Aid and Advise Him. WOMEN voters will have opportun ity next Tuesday for the first time to vote for a candidate for Sheriff and realizing that this is an office that comes closer to the sphere of womanly activity than many others.

"I want you to feel free to come to me at any time and talk these things over and know in advance how wel come your suggestions and advice will be received. No work is of greater im portance to the upbuilding of a com munity than safeguarding the moral welfare of our boys and girls, and no one knows better than you mothers what measures are necessary. I want your help and your co-operation, and at all times you will find me ready and willing to do everything in my power to rid this county of the pitfalls which beset .the young and inexperi enced."
