jN REPLY TO MR. BLANQHAR.D
Mr. Blanchard has 6ent us a
Jetter for publication. We have
110 desire to be unfair to turn,
and very gladly give hiui space
for his communication, reserv
ing the right, however, to de
fond ourselves from the impu
tation of unfairness in our for
mer editorial comment ou the
pounty judgeship. Mr. Blanch
ard's letter, taken alone, makes
a very plausible story, but
Viewed in the light of the facts
hat brought about his candi
dacy the inconsistencies of
some of his statenients are ,at
puce apparent.
Joy. a very ingenious geo
graphical division of the county
he seeks to make it appear
that his candidacy was iuduced
by the desire to give this end of
the county representation on
t"he count7 board, when as a
matter of fact, by his own ad
missions, the subject of his
.Candidacy for county judge
was first broached by the
Prineville people. Does Mr.
JBlauchard expect any person
in this end of the county to
believe that their anxiety to
have him ruu forjudge was in
the interest of the Madras
.country?
There was unquestionably
''geography" in his candidacy,
but it rests in this; The Prine
ville politicians who persuaded
him to quit the race for school
superintendent and enter the
race for county judge expected
through his candidacy to cause
H split in the solid vote on the
west side of the county, and
thereb' defeat Mr. Ellis. There
was more politics than geogra
phy in it.
The intimation iiy the letter,
that unless' Mr. Blanchard is
elected judge this section will
have no repiesentatiou, is unfair
to Mr. Ellis. This end of the
.county will be represented on the
board by Mr. Rice of Haj'creek,
to whose candidacy for com
missioner there- is no opposi
tion. As to the count' judge
ship, Mr. Ellis repeatedly said
that he did not desire to enter
the race if this section had a
man for the place, and it was
only after this end of the
county failed to advance a
candidate for judge that he
consented to make the race. At
that time Mr. Blanchard was
soliciting support throughout
the county for superintendent
of schools. His name had
aiever been mentioned in con
nection with the judgeship, and
was not until his candidacy
was launched at Prineville. He
cannot deny that he felt no
anxiety about this district's
representation on the
11 .mnoiilup Mm I'fitntrxl above. Still I refused. lUt
