VOTE FOR CEO. M. BROWN.
Soon after the nomination of
3eo. M. Brown, republican candi
date for district attorney, his
character as a man and iawyer
vwas flagrantly assailed in some
iparts of the district. We have
.personally and thoroughly investi
gated the accusations and insinu
ations against Mr. Brown and
-find that they were first published
in a Jtiiigene newspaper, controlled
-ly the brother in law of Mr. Do
;ns, democratic nominee for
' Irict attorney. By careful
" personal inquiry we have' learne
ihat-ftlt-tho-accusailohs against
Mr. Brown are wholly without
foundation. Mr. Brown was born
" and nearly all his life has lived in
-Douglas county. The citizens of
ihat county most prominent in
business and social circles without
regard to party unite in affirming
1at he is an honorable man, an
able lawyer of exemplary habits
and well qualified for the office to
which he is nominated, and, what
-is most conclusive of the com
parative qualifications of Mr.
Brown and Mr. Dorris, the court
-:cords of Douglas county (Mr.
Brown's home) show that there
were in all 69 cases 011 (he docket.
of the last March term of the cir
cuit court for said county and that
' -Mr.Brown was engaged as at
torney in 25 of these cases, and
"St hat there were in all 53 cases on
the docket of the last Juno term
of save! court, and that Mr. Brown
was engaged as sole attorney in
17 of these, while tire court
"records of Lane county (Mr. Dor-
- ris's home) show that there were
in all 67 cases on the docket of the
October, 1893, term of the circuit
eourt of said county and that Mr.
Dorris appeared in only 8 of the
67 cases and that on the docket
of the last March term of said
eourt there were in all 92 cases
and that Mr. Dorris appeared in
-only 9 of said cases. Thus the
record shows that Mr. Brown's
actual court business is about
three times that of Mr. Dorris'.
-This comparison shows far better
and more truly than anything else
could the actual standing of the
two men as lawyers and the com
parative estimation as to capa
bility and reliability in -which
they are held by those who know
them, by the respective communi
ties in which they rtside. The
-measure of a man's business ca
pacity in any profession is the
actual business that he transacts.
- It is very plain why Mr. - Dorris
- supporters have tried to cover up
-the real merits of the controversy
"between Brown and Dorris for
votes, by a deluge of vilification
and slander. We are fully, justi
fied by our investigation of the
two men in assuring our fellow
-citizens that Mr. Brown is by far
the abler lawyer and more honor
able gentleman and that by learn
ing, ability and integrity he is pre
minently well qualified lor dis
trict attorney. It behooves every
"voter, regardless of party, to put
the seal of their condemnation
'- pon Mr. Dorris' campaign of de
traction and mud slinging by
casting their ballots .for Geo. M.
-&rownt Vole for Brown.
CHARGES SUSTAINED.
In the last issue of the GA
ZETTE the statement was made
that E. L. Bryan was neglecting
his duties; that he was not visit
the several schools of the county
as required by law, also, that he
had neglected to make a financial
report last June as required by
law. These statements were true
and the Gazette will prove them
to the entire satisfaction of every
voter in the county.
The law states that the school
superintendent shall visit each
school of the county at least once
a year. During the year 1893,
district No. two miles west
of Corvallis, was not visited at
all. Two weeks ago he came out
there, arrived at 12 o'clock and
in order that the children
might
see His Honor the teacher con
tinued the school lor ten- or
fiften minutes during the noon
hour. The school in Fairmount
remained unvisited altogether,
so it is claimed by residents of
that precinct, until the board of
directors demanded a visit from
him, when he made them a call.
A district only two or three miles
south of Philomath has received
none of his valuable attention
durine the past year. Another
district in Blodeett vallev has
remained unvisited. It is claim
ed that other schools have also
received none of his attention
Two departments of the Corvallis
public school in this city have not
been entered by the supennten
dent during the present scholistic
year. Other grades have been
visited by him for a space of time
varvinir from ten minutes to an
hour. At the principal's room he
had made two calls.
In the county there are between
fifty and sixty districts. Provid
ing he has paid the same atten
tion to each as he has to those
mentioned from ten minutes to
an hour the average time spent
at each school would be about
thirty minutes, or all told thirty
hours. But this is not all he did.
He held an institute in Corvallis
a couple of weeks aero. The law
says these annual institutes shall
, t r i 1 t -r.
be held for three days but Bryan
didn't care about the law, you
know, so just held it two days.
He also held a local institute in
lath, that must have re-
ay or two more, besides
d a quarterly examina-
achers, in which work
'r Joe always assisted
wh6se services the county
always paid extra. These four
examinations must have required
at least eight days more. A re
capitulation of the time actually
spent willshow visiting schools
a day and a half, but for good
measure we -will be willing to
call it two days, four days hold
ing institutes, and eight days ex
amining teachers. We now liave
a total - of fourteen days spent
during the past year in the dis
charge of his official duties, after
allowing him credit for every
thing even to the schools he
failed to visit. Mr. Bryan him
self will probably not claim that
he has spent over thirty days
eight hours to the day in this
work, yet his conscience never
pricks him when he draws his
monthly stipend of $50 besides
$300 or $400 annually in per
quisites. On the proposition that
he takes thirty days each year in
which to perform his official
duties and he receive the same
amount that he did a year ago,
he is paid at the rate of over $30
per day.
After dilligent search in the
achives of the county clerk's
office last week the Gazette
man failed to find Bryan's annual
report This he claimed he had
sent inv and on Saturday evening
a piece of paper was found on
which was written, partially in
ink and partially in lead pencil,
the following:
Philomath, Or., June 30, 1893.
Hon. V. S. Hstord,
Corvallis, Oregon.
Dear Sir : Followi ng is a statement
of money applied to County Schools dur
ing the year just past:
State Fund '.$9277-5
County Fund 8387.40
On the same sheet of paper lie
had scrawled a bill for services
which he never rendered and
had been detached and filed with
the bills. The Times says that
the bill was signed "E. L. Bryan,
Superintendent." .That -sheet
then takes the Gazette to - task
for making a "false accusation"
aga'n.t Btyan. This is a fair
sample of the lying capacity of
the Times, that during the whole
campaign has continued to falsely
misrepresent the Gazette. No
where on the paper does the sig
nature of E. L Bryan appear.
The Times knows it, too. Yet
for the pay of Bryan it lies about
the Gazette and undertakes to
mislead the voters, the school
patrons and the public generally
into the belief that Bryan has
complied with the law in every
Pkim
A I
and for
particular, notwithstanding the
fact that its corps -of editorial
writers is made up partially of
lawyers who are familiar with the
requirements of the law and know
ull well that the statements
made in Justification of Bryan are
unfounded in fact.
Hill's code on the subject savs,
"The superintendent, shall, by!
the 30th of June of each year
make out a financial report, to
the county court, showing the
amount of money assessed, and
collected at county expense, arid
applied to county schools, during
the year ending the hrst Monday
of April previous."
Below is given the report made
by W. E. Yates for the year end
ingjune 30th 1892. It complies
with the section of the statute
above referred to. A comparison
of it with the one made by Bryan
and printed above will show to a
child of even ten years that the
report of Bryan is absolutely no
report all ; that it does not com
ply with the law in any particu
lar and it was never approved by
the county court, while the re
port given below is in accordance
with the statute and was ap
proved by the county court.
Here it is:

Very respectfully submitted,
V. E. Yates,
County School Supt
Dated this June 30, 1892.
After careful comparison of
the two above reports, is the
Times, Bryan or any of his de
fenders possessed of the supreme
gall to still maintain that Bryan
has done his duty ? Can you still
say that he is a careful, painstak
ing official? Can you longer
doubt that this alleged report of
Bryan's is not a fair sample of
the manner in which he has con
ducted the affairs of his office
throughout? A man or a paper
that will try to justify such gross
negligence as Bryan is proven
guilty of, can not pose as a friend
to the taxpayer, or to the cause
of education, and any person who
will vote to retain in office such
a flimsy excuse for a superinten
dent, has not the welfare of the
public schools at heart.
The Gazette has entered this
fight in the interest of the tax
payers, and also in the interest of
the public schools of Benton
county. The Times and every
patron of schools in this county
d:es know, or at least should
know, that Bryan has neglected
the cause of education during
his term of office. He has been
spending his time in saying sweet
things to the girls and reading
law in the hopes ' of securing the
nomination at the last convention
for county judge, but as he failed
in this, and times were hard, he
concluded to again enter the race,
feeling confident of success on
account of his majority at the
last election. His boasted popu
larity, however, is rapidly on the
decline. When men and women
both, without regard to party,
are importuning the voters in the
name of morality and in the in
terests of the public school sys
tem of this county to defeat Bryan,-
they should heed the warning
and cast their ballots for a man
against whose fair name the
breath of scandal has never been
breathed. Such a man is Holm,
who is known by all as a man of
integrity and who has pledged
himself to a faithful performance
of the duties of the office if
elected; who will open an office
in the county courthouse where
he will be found, when not out
of town visiting the schools. He
also agrees to hold a local insti
tute in Blodgett valley, Alsea
valley, Corvallis and various
other parts of the county each
year. These local institutes are
of great advantage. The teach
ers, patrons of the schools and
friends meet together, discuss
various plans of instruction. In
this way many excellent theories
are advanced and all -concerned
are greatly benefited. Another
thing that the voters should re
member is that the stories circu
lated by reputable citizens of
Philomath regarding the moral
character of Bryan are such that
the reputation of young lady
teachers may be seriously im
paired, who may have dealings
with him m his official capacity.
THE SHERIFF' CONTEST.
Very early in the campaign it
been me evident that the friends
of D. A Oaburn were prepared to
go to any lengths to re elect him.
Within a few days after his nomi
nation it was known that they in
tended to show, no respect to re
publicans, their convention or to
George W. Smith, an honored and
respected business man of our
county. Elaborate preparations
were mat'e. The services of the
Grea; Benton Count' Mud Slingei
were immediately secured and the
curtain was raised on the foulest
pi iy that ever disgraced our conn
ty. The stage extended from Or
egon to Colorado.
The first character upon the
stage was the Albany Daily Dem
ocrat, which displayed copious ex
tracts from the Colorado Pueblo
Star, which had been published in
that paper at enormous expense to
the managers, stating that n
man by the name of SniitI
had kept a theatre at that
place manv years ago; that it had
burned down and intimated that
btnitii hau burneu it for the insur
ance and left, heavily loaded with
booty. I he actor was hissed from
the stage. The curtain fell and
the people thought the dirty play
was over, but the Mud Slinger an
nounced that the next scene would
be a family row.
Ihecuiet character in tins was
a boy 21 years of age, with influ
ential friends, a rich uncle, a pri
vate fortune, and starving to death
in Bishop Scott's academy. Tin
quarrel was between the step
lamer and uncle, vvno uemeu me
right of the administrator to set
tie the estateand wanted possession
himseli. aim challenged 111111 10 a
contest at law. The administrator
having no other resort, accepts,
exhibits proof of fatherly care ol
the boy, arrays his bondsmen,
points to the estate, and tells him
to ro ahead, lhe uncle leaves
muttering that he had always .sup
posed I hat a man who paid hii
debts was a cardinal virtue.
LAST ACT.
A number of dirty fellows who
had been hired for the occasion
distributed papers whose glaring
headlines announced: smith is j
URUNKAHD. CMITU BURNED HIS
THEATRE AT PUEBLO. SMITH MAR-
uniL'n "tii"rrir at? I FTC! t xxt KT xr nr 1.

RY A LADY IN CORVALLIS WHO IS
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM. SMITH
DRINKS AS MUCH WHISKEY AS OS
BURN. SMITH OUGHT TO BE RE
MOVED. DON'T VOTE FOR SMITH.
Just as lhe curtain was about to
fall, Sol King appeared before
the footlights with a long sack
and demanded a verdict 111 lavor
of the chief '.manager of the play.
The dirty iellovvs who had distrib
uted the papers emptied the sack
and promised to secure the verdict
on Monday next.
If these managers escape the
fate which befell a similar troupe at
this place a few weeks ago we
shall be much surprised, for they
certainly deserve it, and while we
do not endorse such things, we
recommend that they receive the
most stern rebuke consistent with
the niaje:-ty of law and our dig
nity as c tizens.
In regard to the article publish
ed in last Thursday's FJaindealer
concerning Geo. A. Dorris, the
democratic nominee for district at
torney, we find upon further in
vestigation of evidence submitted
us that the report was without
foundation. The Plaindealer
would not knowingly do Mr. Dor
ris, or any other man, an injustice
and wj make this statement sim
ply as a matter of justice to him.
lhe evidence submitted, referred
to above, is from Mr. Dorris and
George Majory. Mr. Dorris admit
ted that he had visited the saloon
referred to, but that he did not
stay long and that he did not
drink, but simply took a cigar and
soon went. out. This statement
was corroborated by George Ma
jory, the proprietor of the place
at the time. At fhe requ' st of
Mr. Dorris we agreed to make the
statement s per the first paragraph
of this article, and to allow the
same to appear simultaneously in
the Iiev.ew. Some democrats are
making a great roar over the mat
ter, alleging that the Plaindealer
had been forced to retract. There
was no demands or threats made
by Mr. Dorris. He simply ex
plained the matter and we make
the desired correction, and would
have made no further comment on
the matter had not the democrats
sought to make political capital
out of it by distorting the facts.
Mr. Frank Waite was present and
can corroborate all the foregoing.
Iloseburg PJaindealer.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED,
It is high lime that the voters
should look well to their own
interests and not allow any such
flimsy and far-fetched charges as
are being made by Cauthorn and
his friends against Judge Ilufford,
about the salary question and the
county division bill, to influence
them. Certainly Mr. Iluilord's
explanation of this whole transac
tion is sufficient to satisfy any
reasonable man, that he has
done nothing wrong whatever and
hat these charges were only
lumped up by Cauthorn as an
electioneering scheme in hopes of
creating a prejudice against Judge
Ilufford. But voters are you go
ing to be influenced by such silly
twaddle: and that too, when the
same was only brought forward
just on the last day before election
as these charges have been ? lhe
voter should investigate lor him
self and not listen to a lot of insuf
ficient charges, which .have been
concocted for campaign purposes
in tne vain nope mat me voter
will be hoodwinked into changing
his ballot in favor ot Cauthorn.
Has Mr. Ilufford not filled the
office of county judge as well or
better than any who has ever held
the position in this county; and
are the voters going to cast their
votes against him, and for an un
tried man upon such a flimsy pre
text as is now baing offered by
Cauthorn and his friends? Mr.
ilufibrd Iims managed the affairs of
the taxpayers in a most economi-
. t . . All
cai . anu sausiaciory manner. .0.11
probate matteis have been care
lully attended to. He is a good
lawyer and it is highly essential
that such a person should fill the
place. Cauthorn has been a wild,
reckless grain speculator for years.

It will be remembered that in
the fall ol 1892 Win. Jolly, T. H.
Cooper and others began a suit in
the circuit court against Cauthorn
to foreclose a mortgage given by
Cauthorn on an old warehouse iu
payment for $32(J5.50 due the
plaintiffs for grain which had been
stored with the defendant lor
which he was owing them. Owing
to the reckksH way in which his
books were kept Cauthorn was un
able to ascertain the exact amount
due them and executed a note and
mortgage to the plaintiff's for
$4,000. Many years prior to this
date Cauthorn had mortgaged the
same property to John Harris for
$1,000. This then made the
mortgage given to Jolly and
Cooper subsequent to the Harris
mortgage. Making in all $5,000
against the property that at the
very o itside figure was not worth
more than $1,800, but when
plaintiffs accepted the mortgage
Cauthorn was in failing circum
stances and nothing else c u!d ba
had for the sums due them. After
assuming the payment of the liar
ris mortgage for $1,000 and taking
a mortgage for the amount due
them of $3265.50, Cauthorn comes
into court, when a suit was brought
to foreclose lhe mortgages, and
alleges that the mortgage was in
tended as a deed and asked for a
judgment against them for the sum
of $740, which amount including
the Harris mortgage and interest
thereon, which they had paid.

amounted to considerable more
than the property was worth. He
fought the case, had it referred
and put the plaintiffs to a great
deal of unnecessary expense and
in the end was defeated. The
plaintiffs recovered judgment
aga:nst Cauthorn for $5,481 be
sides their costs and disburse
ments. When the property was
offered for sale by the sheriff, the
plaintiffs bought it in for $2500
and paid their c ists an ounting to
nearly $100 besides their attor
ney's fee.
Another case is now pending
against Cauthorn ir-stiluted by
W. F. Crosby. Mr. Crosby is
known as a careful and prudent
business man who represents a(
large grain firm of San Francisco
and purchases more grain in Ore
gon than any other man in the
state outside of Portland, and the
farmers who ha' e sold their grain
to him have all received their
money. Mr. Urosby claims - mat
in business transactions covering
only one year Cauthorn has gotten
the bt tier of him over $1000. This
is right in line with his attempt to
secure from Messrs. Cooper and
Jolly the payment of $7-10 by
fraudulent means.
As long as Caul horn confined
himself to a legitimate warehouse
business he got along all right,
but he became greedy and went
into wild speculai ions on borrowed
money. All hough the price con
tinued to fall, he relused to sell
and the poor farmers and otI,es
who had been mislead by his pro
lessions of honesty were the los
ers of $22,000. "Cauthorn didn't
lose it because he didn't have
anything to lose.

he goes about the county boast
ing of his financial ability and
claiming that he has handled mo e

county judge and on that score at
tempts to gain votes, it is lane to
show up his stewardship. As a
business man Cauthorn Las proved
an niter failure, and now goes
about the county howling poverty
in the vain hopes of inveigling
the people of this counly into
voting him into a $900 a year job,
in which he will assume lhe busi

ty's affairs. Men who have dis
played no better business sense in
the management of theirown affairs

Ira Iu Campbell, of the Eugene
City Guard, in an attempt to say
something against George M.
Brown, the republican nominee
for prosecuting attorney, places
himself in a most ridiculous light,
and proves that he is a simpleton
as well as a democrat. He says
the endorsements given to Mr.
Brown by prominent men of the
state were given with the express
understanding that they were in t
to be published. Mr. Brown had
been slandered and abused dur
ing a political campaign and
sought vindication at the hands of
his fellow townsmen. Now will
Campbell tell us what possible use
was to be made of the written
statements given him if they were
not to 1 e published? Was it un
derstood that they were to be
locked up in Mr. Brown's safe as
a sort of quiet satisfaction to him
self? Mr. Campbell may be a very
smart man, but this attempt of
his to make any one believe that
Brown was to let no one see these
statements refuting the lie3 which
were being circulated aboat him
is the silliest thing we ever saw in
print.

and useful aperient in pharmacy.
Mrs. M. A. BitOCKAVELL, Harris,
Tenn., says:
"Ayer's Cathartic Pius cured me of sick
headache and my husband of neuralgia. Wo
think there is
No Better Medicine,
and have induced many to use it."
"Thirty-five years ago this Spring, I wa
mn down by hard work and a succession of
colds, which made me so feeble that it was
an effort for me to walk. I consulted tho
doctors, but kept sinking lower until I had
given up all hope of ever being better.
Happening to be in a store, one day, where
medicines were sold, the proprietor noticed
my weak and sickly appearance, and after
a few questions as to my health, recom
mended me to try Ayer's Pills. I had little
faith In these or any other medicine, but
concluded, at last, to take his advice and try
a box. Before I had used them all, I was
very m'ich better, and two boxes cured me.
I am now 80 years old; but I believe that
If it had not been for Ayer's Pills, I should
have been in my grave long ago. I bny 5
boxes every year, which make 210 boxes wp
to this time, and I would no more be with
out them than without bread." H. II.
