OBJECTS TO MR. WILLIAMSON. ;
Mr. Herman Wis Does Not Like Hit
PoUion on Fishing Industry,
ASTORIA, May U.-(Mr, Edltor)-l
bad hoped that some one else would
ere this take up this subject, because
1 dislike the task. However, since it
has been overlooked, I ask that you
give this apace. .;
in tbt beg'nnlng I ask that no out
who read thla attribute political mo
live entirety in tbit matter. Probably
I am too Intensely In earnest; but
those who have aver fought In what
seemed to them a good cause will ap
preciate my feeling; and no HtUt
band has ever fought more valiantly
than dd Messrs. Lorntaen, Welch and
Nelson, and I feet proud of having
been able to assist them In their fight
against be destructive fish wheels,
which kill the pregnant salmon, ere
they can lay the golden egg that
mean bread and butter to thousand
of hard working men and the prosper
ity of our city and of tht ttate.
In that fight we met the most bitter
opposition at the hand of "Fish-wheel
Williamson," nd now that ht come
before tha people of Oiatsop County
and asks .their votes to aend blm to
Congress, 1 feel that I would be rec
reant to my duly should I neglect to
remind tht people of Aatorta, of Clat
sop County and of tht whole district
that Mr. Wlllamaon ht not entitled to
our vote;; nay, more, he ahould be op
posed by every moTher" son who ha
to make a living here. ,
All parties have declared In favor of
the removal of fieh wheel, and now I
want lo aee how many men In Clatsop
and Columbia Countlta will prefer
party polities to bread and butte. If
Mr. Wllllamaon receives a majority In
Clatsop County, the opponent M the
Republican party will hare a right to
any that the declaration In the county
and state platform in favor of the
fishermen were a eham; but I desire
to give the Republicans a well aa tha
Democrats tbt credit of being In good
faith, and that Mr, Williamson will
nt get a vote In this county, which
he has fought so bitterly. v
There are two other very worthy
candidates for congressman Hon. W.
F. Butcher, the Democratic nominee,
who, In hi tpech accepting the nomin
ation. atrong!yatwp:1 tn greedy fish
wheel owners, and there I also Hon.
D. T. Gerdea, our worthy townsman,
who Is an honest man and also tn
sympathy with tht men who risk their
lives to catch the fish, that give us a
chance to make living.
I don't care who a man votea for aa
h choice for congressman, or whether
he votes at all, but I do appeal to our
people to remember "Fish-wheel Wil
liamson," who fought the Interest of
Clatsop County so bitterly and who
now aaka our votea that he may go to
Congress, there to knock any petition
our people may aend to Washington.
I wish the press of Astoria could see
their way clear to fight our common
enemy. Respectfully,
, HERMAN WI8R.
