There were many eurpru-e in store
from nearly every precinct. The
two Hillsboro precincts gave the
Union ticket handsome n ajorities,
while Forest Grove gave an im

When Judge Rood went in six
years ago there was a debt of over
fifty, and nearly sixty thousand
dollars. Today all the debt is paid
off, and there is in the treasury
something like $25,000 to meet fu

istration has been a business one
from start to finish and if the new
regime does as well there will be
no need of complaint.
A STATEMENT.
In the issue of the Forest Grove
Times under date of May 2G, in a
comment on the attempt to im
reach M. L Noble in a case tried
before Justice Wirtx the following
statement was made: "But if the
rustling real estate man had bad
as narrow an escape from being in
peached as the attorney had from
being disbarred a few years ago for
shady hgal transactions then he
might have reason for regret." In
this statement reference was made
to mi, and when the editor was
characterized as a liar and a pre
varicator he retreated from one
false position only to occupy an
other. In his issue of June 2, he admit
ted that the word "disbarred" was
erroneously used and that it was
"not the editor's affair or word."
- Reference was then made to a
petition filed June 24, 1898, with
Hon. T. J. Cleslon asking for the
removal of myself as deputy dis
trict attorney for Washington
County. The article recites that
in the petition "certain grave
charges were made," and that those
who signed would probably ex
plain their reasons for their action,
"but if Mr. Bagley desires the pub
licalion of tbe ones given in the pe
tition he can be accommodated."
Rather than have them distorted
by the disgruntled editor I prefer
to give them myself, and I would i
rather the public knew the truth 1
than be mured by the insinuations
published in the article referred to
A certain Forest Grove citizen
feeling that he had a grievance had
a petition prepared in which it was
charged that I had been guilty of
unprofessional conduct and was
extravagant in the administration
of my office. If there were any
specific charges I never heard of
them. Of the 123 who signed the
petition, a majority are my person
al friends and signed only at the
earnest solicitation of the person
in charge of tjie petition.
The editor neglected to state that
a petition was circulated in my be
half, denying the charge of. unpro
fessional conduct and extravagance
in oflice, which received over 3C0
signers, and Hon. T. J. Cleeton,
after fully investigating the con
troversy and finding the petition
against me without merit, answer
ed it by placing on file in the office
of the county clerk my commission
re appointing me as deputy for the
second term, which was a complete
vindication.
I never held any malice towards
the author of the petition ss I al
ways felt that he was laboring un
der a wrong impression, and know
ing as I did why many signed the
petition, I had no ill will towird
them, and still regard many as my
personal friends.
This is an unbiased statement of
a controversy long since dead, and
no amount of twisting or squirm
ing on the' part of the Times editor
can change the truth. "
