'- it 'f THE SUTTDAY OJUSGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 3, 1900. - -h i THE SfeYHMJ) GAME Union Candidates 1-Jave Sup port of Mitchell Mem EVADE STATING THEIR POSITION Tliey Mean to Fool Some One, and the Writer of Thl Letter Is Not the One to "Be Fooled. FOREST GROVE, Or., May 29. The main question with many of Bean s fdllowers3t,pr.irent''Is: Are there two Republican Lsgislathc tickets in the field? My object in writing: this Is not to change any onc'b vote, but to let the Mitchell Republicans know that while we were fool.sh enough to let them get con trol of our political machinery in the state, still there is a limit to our ignorance and that limit is reached. As to my own poll tics. I have never voted a Republican cr gold-standard Democratic ticket yet. Jef ferson says, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"; and I &ay, "Eternal poverty is the price of negligence." Yet, so sure was 1 that e crything was all Tight In our state that -alien the first rumors of Mitchell's fine work raised a slight fog in our polit ical sky, 1 thought nothing of It. "When I had good evidence ot it, I still doubted, and su3ccted that it was the work of McKinley Republicans who were trying to "work" us. We swallow ed this with about the same relish I swallowed my first chew of tobac co. The sight of our leaders and Mitchell's political grass widows thick as three in a bed w as not reassuring to one who knows the effect of such association on a young party not yet the age of consent. We see too, that Union candidates "up in the Val ley, having been smokea out, openly avow their intention of voting for a Republican as second choice for United States Senator. By using vigilance In Multnomah Coun ty the Cleveland Democrats were kept from capturing everything or anything. Later Mitchell gets In his work, and we now have a Union ticket thore, composed of Democrats (Bryan, Cleveland and Mitchell varieties). Republicans (free-silver, gold-standard, Mitcnell and various other species), Populiste (middle-of-the-road, straddle-of-the-road and some in the brush), all on one ticket Now, what is the object of this fusion of parties and confusion of principles? To heat the Slmon-McKinley crowd? Very well; so far so good. That mixture would surely beat the devil. But who would win? What will it profit a party to gain a John H. Mitchell and lose all his princi ples? 1 vi ill lay down as a rule to guide my actions that when a vote is cast for a United States Senator by a man of the opposite party, there is something -crooked. Those two Populists of Illinois who voted for Palmer because he was a free-silver man, elected the one who afterwards head ed the Gold Democratic ticket. Taube nach protested and was called a crank, hut that was not the first instance, nor will the Republican votes of Montana that elected Clark be the last. Now for our own county: That the X"nion candidates expect and have reason to expect the entire vote of the Mitchell men. Is too well known to require proof. Why w HI they vote for them? Some of us who are not on the inside, men, too, whose standing in the party of Brjan is fully equal to the candidates on the Union Uck et, considering the above undisputed facts in connection with the' generally circulated hut disputed rumor that our Legislative ticket was pledged to Mitchell, wrote, printed and presented the following to our candidates for their signatures: "I, the undersigned candidate on the Union ticket, pledge myself that if elect ed I will vote for neither Mitchell, Mc Bride, nor any one else not pledged to the principles of Bryan and the initiative and referendum." What was their reply, and what do their managers say? No, on account of policy; that the party platform is sufficient; that to aoubt them is to insult them, and we must trut them; "that to tell openly which bide they are on will defeat them; that the men who origlnutcd it were Simon-Scott Republicans: that it was done for money. What do they mean by policy? Honesty? Why would it defeat them to tell openly where the stand? This is a confession that they are a pnrty to that deception by which their managers have assured each faction that they were the ones that -were "in It." They mean to fool some one; that Is, deceive them, get their vote under false prepenses, deprive them of the right to cist an Intelligent ballot. What the wick ed Republican party obtains by purchase we reformers hope to get by robbery- Of cours It would he an Insult for us fel lows to doubt them after they have been honest enough to own they ae going to sell out one side or the other. I wonder if it would be an Insult if the other side were to doubt them, too. Of course. In case of a sale, 1 know it has been cus tomary for farmers to buy up politicians, and I suppose that in this deal the mo nopolist will get done up, as usual. THOS. H. BROWN. FORECAST OF THE ELECTION. Probabilities in the Several Counties Fav ornlile for Republicans. Several more responses of politicians in the several counties to The OresonJan's request for estimates have been received. The large registration ot voters has left a considerable margin of uncertainty and made most of the political managers hesi tate about making- predictions. Here is what some of them, write: Lake Connlj. LAKEVIEW. Or., May 29. In compli ance with our request 1 send you the estimate of the vote In Lake County, as follows- Tho registration shows 897 names, of which probably S50 or SG0 will vote at the June election. There will probably be onlv Fusion and Republican tickets votpd for fctate and district officers, of -1 which the Republican candidates will have DM and the Fusion 350 or 360. This being Dal's home, he will prob ably be about ,0 to 120 votes behind Tens", although he is claimng a large majority over Tongue. Wolverton should have 170 majority, ar.d Bailej. for Dairy and Food Commis sioner, probably 140 to ICO over his oppon ent. For Joint Senator, Williamson should heat Bennett 150 to 175. The Republican nominees for Joint Representatives should have 150 majority, except Emmett who will probably exceed that by 10to 20. Watson, for District Attorney, should beat Rasmus (Fusion) about IfXL The Republican Clerk will have from 158 to 175 malorltv. The vote on Sheriff will J be very close, wth the chances in favor of Dunlap Republican). The vote on Commissioner and Treasurer will also he close. For School Superintendent, the Republican, Willlts, will be elected by a gocd majority. For this county, the candidates for Sher iff are making the only hot fight, the Republican being supported by most tho Populists ana a irc tollowlDg Dl disaffected Democrats, while the Demo. cratlc, nominee has many pergonal friend among thefRepublicahs who will support him. There 'is no qtheEdtlckets forfSbun ty officers except Republican 'and,Dcino cratlc", &. FCONN. Republican Committeeman "for' Lake County. Yamhill Coanty. An active Republican of Yamhill Coun ty submits the following estimates: "Carlton, Or.. June 1. The number ot voters registered In Yamhill County Is 3417. I estimate that the Republican votes of this county will he about 1700. That the votes of the Bryan party will be about 1550. The Prohibition vote will be from 100 to 123. I do not think that there will be much scratching done by either party, excepting as to the candidates for Sheriff. The vcte for Sheriff will be very close. hut otherwise I am inclined to think the Republicans w ill elect their whole ticket." Umatilla County. PENDLETON. Or.. June L I find that there is no one that can give an intent gent estimate of the result of the coming election. The large registration In this county hao made all forecasts unreliable, and the canvass has been conducted so quietly that enthusiasm, for either side, is lacking. There are very many voters that will give no expression "as to their preference for candidate?, and, in some Instances, for parties. I would, therefore, prefer not to venture to predict the re sult. E. D. BOYD. Democratic Committeeman for UmatilU County. Both Side Claim Clnckmunx. OREGON CITY. Or.. June 2. Tonight closed the campaign in Clackamas Count, and the county and Legislative candidates of the Republican and Citizens tickets each held final rattles here. Judge O'Day of Portland, was tho principal speaker at the Citizens meeting. The campaign man-' agers of both parties claim that each will win a complete victory on county candi dates Monday, while tho more conserva tive observers predict that a mixed ticket will be elected. It Is generally conceded, however, that the majority of the voters in the county are Republicans. Forecast for Yamhill County. M'MINNVILLE, Or., June 2. The cam paign of 1200 has been fought, and a glance over the field indicates that Yam hill County will he safely Republican. Congressman Tongue. Judge. Wolverton and Mr. Bailey wil receive pluralities ranging from 200 to 250, while the county ticket is eafe for the Republicans, with the exception perhaps of Sheriff and Com. missioner. upon whom a special fight has been waged, and they, too, stand a good show for election. Jackson County Politics. MEDFORD, Or.. June 2. Jackson Coun ty is safe for the Republicans. Con servative party leaders express all confi dence in the election of the entire Re publican ticket The only candidate in doubt. 'Narrcgan, for County Judge, is now being conceded "by many of the Union candidates' supporters. Says Fuslonists Will Carry Linn. LEBANON. Or., June 2. Hon. M. A. Miller, who has hcen making a thor ough canvass of Linn County, says the Union ticket will be elected next Monday hy a large majority. He also says that Dr. Daly -will run considerably ahead of his ticket in the county. Crook County. PRINEVILLE, Or.. June 2. The polit ical situation here is hard to )lve, but it is estimated that the Legislative ticket will carry by from 50 to 100 majority in this county for the Republicans. As to count offices, it Is too uncertain to make any estimate. ALL KINDS OF POLITICS. Made a Lively Day for Umatilla County Pioneers. PENDLETON, Or.. June 2.

A MISTAKE The First District has In Mr. Tongue an intelligent, in dustrious and faithful repre sentative. He understands l the needs of the state, and has endeavored with unusual fidelity to promote all its in terests. He has experience and capacity. He Is the kind of Congressman who achieves results. He is sound on main questions. He voic.es the views and sentiments of Oregon accurately In the Na tion's councils. He wants the flag to fly forever in the Philippines. That Is what the state wants. The alter native to Tongue Is Daly, who stands for financial In flation and National contrac tion: who is a down -hauler of the flag; and who would misrepresent the - true atti tude of the state In l'u progress toward greater and higher things. to Make a Change RESPECTED THEIR FAITH.
