;W. C LAWS., CO.
Scttcm, secretary of the Republican
City Committee, that there will be n
ineeting of the committee and of all
the various Republican candidates on
the municipal ticket in the common
council rooms tonight Mr. Elmore
and other leading men on the ticket
will be present, and the whule situa
tion will be gone over with care, It
is desired that every candidate be
present, and be prepared to state his
views of things.
It is proponed to instil activity in
to the campaign and to endeavor t5
interest all the voters of the city
ami especially all the property own
ersin " the coming 1 election, The
meeting will be called at 7:30
o'clock. '
It was suggested last night by
one of the members of the city com
mittee that citizens should make it
a point to attend the meetine to
night, and while the council cham-
are not largcenough for a large
gathering, nevertheless all those
who feel a particular interest in thi
outcome of the city election should
be there as a matter of duty. Of
course there is nothing secret in the
meeting, and it is desired that citi
zens be made acquainted with the
workings of the committee and of
the candidates in 'their gatherings. "
Plans for the carrying on a cam
paign of publicity will be discussed
tonight. Probably, too, it will bej
necessary before the election comes
to acquaint candidates and citizens
generally with some of the more im
porljnt provisions of the Huntley
corrupt practice act, the new elec
tion measure that was adopted by
the people last June. While this
law has been laughed at as being
merely ridiculous in- many of ' is
provisions, nevertheless it is the law
of the state and the punitive end of
it Is pretty strong tn some respects.
The Iforning Astorian has become
duly apprised of the fact that at
least one or more of the leading can
didates in the municipal election
have perused the act, but quite evi
dently not with that care that wou!
naturally have, been expected under
all the circumstances.
Already, however, there apparent
ly have been many violation of this
act. For one example: presumably
ladies and children who recently
busied themselves in trying to sell
Or In selling tickets or chancel of
one kind or another in their church
fair to candidates, did not know
what, a dreadfully unlawful thing
they were doing. .. "Ef yon don't
watch out the goblin's 'ill git yo.'
Also, the candidates who purchased
any such tickets or chances., perhaps,
may yet be brought before the bar
of justice to vindicate the majesty
of the Oregon law.
And whatever yon do, don't treat
a candidate, font tatce a annK
with hlra. It's dangerous. If your
"intent" is wrong you may be pun
ished. This may knock a few
shingles off the roofs of the 50 sa-
loonkepers in Astoria, but one must
think of his own life and liberty
first, of course.

Astoria was a wet town yesterday,
alright. With a sou'wester deluging
her from overhead, and the Colum
bia soaking things around her and
below her, there was sort of dearth
hereabout, Nobody was down town
that could stay at home; the stores
were barren of people and so were
the moving picture nouses; runaways
would have had a clear right-of-way
anywhere, had any . occurred, but
even, the horses were housed as
much as possible. It was one of
the few storm-bound days that fall
this way during the winter season;
and if anything were needed to em
phasize the dismal attitude of things
and people, it was found in the fact
that even politics were taboo all day
long.

TEXT OF COMMUNICATION
SENT TO CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
By request, the Morning Astorian
publishes the subjoined statement of
the Astoria Labor Council protest
ing against the proposed action of
the Astoria Chamber of Commerce,
in the matter of securing Japangg
labor and tenants on the logged-off
lands of Clatsop county, the docu
ment telling plainly its own story:
"Astoria, Or., Nov. 16, 1908.
"To the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce, Mr. J. H. Whyte, Secy.
"Gentlemen : We, the undersigned
members of the Astoria Central La
bor Council and empowered by the
Central Labor Council do most em
phatically protest against the action
I working on farms; at that time the
t l , . t , . . ; r
larmer mougni nis irouojes were
over as be could get labor cheap and
what is the result? At the present
time fully one-third of ,the farm jn
that valley are either owned or 'con
trolled by Japs and, the white fann
ers have more trouble than ever,
for .some Japs pay as high as $50 a
year, per acre; frent and , are "able to
undersell the white ' farmer, and
why?. Just because, they -live lathe
cheapest possible manner and never
patronize a store owned by an Amer
ican, unless absolutely necessary.
Now if the Chamber of Commerce
wishes to see the agricultural indus
try in this county controlled by the
Japs, let the Japs colonize here.
Yours sincerely, ,
"R. S. HAYNER,
"JOS. L. MOORE, Secy,
"Committee Astoria Central Labor
Council."
in
of the Chamber of Commerce
considering- favorably the proposi
tion of getting Japs to clear land
(as published in The Morning As
torian of the 10th inst. under head
of 'May Secure Japs to Clear Land')
and claim that it is a scheme for a
few land owners to enrich , them
selves by the importation of more
cheap Jap labor into this vicinity. Of
this class of labor we have too much
already. You say the Japs will not
compete with the people who -make
the first protest and that these peo
ple would not do, this work even if
offered to them. Well, we do not
know if we are the first ones to pro
test against ' the proposition ' but
would you pfease show us just once
where an offer has been made (to
white people) and published in the
Astoria papers, offering fairly good
land free for ten years to any one
who "will clear off the stumps? You
cannot" do this becausevthe proposi
tion? has never beerl made, and fur
thermore, if it ever should be made,
you would find niany who would
take it up immediately. . ' '
We also wish to state that in tfie
event of the Japs taking this land
they would be in direct competition
with our Clatsop county farmer;tand
Jap competition 'is .very dangerous,
as is proven .by Japanese farmers liv
ing in the White River Valley, near
Seattle; a few years ago there were
no Japs there, only a few laborers
For Speakership
The Portland Telegram says: John
C. McCue, Representative from Clat
sop, an out-and-out Fulton ' man,
who declares he will vote for Fulton
for United States Senator, is an
avowed candidate for Speaker. Mc
Cue, ; early in the game, announced
that he would be a candidate, but
would not busy himself until after
the presidential campaign. Imme
diately on the conclusion of the'
Taft-Bryan contest, friends of Mc
Arthur circulated the report that
.IcCue had abandoned any designs
on the Speakership and that he was
working for McArthur and would be
taken care of by receiving the ju
diciary for some other important
committee. 1 Representative McCue
resents these reports and says he
will be a candidate to the finish' and
will not back out for McArthur or
anyone else as long as he has a
chance to win. While United States
Senator C. W. Fulton is said to .fa
vor McArthur, he did not say so in
a conference with McCue in Astoria
last Friday, At that ; time c Fulton
said that he would be satisfied no
matter., which of .the two .. become
Speaker, and he hoped that McCue
arid McArthur would come to an
understanding. , The two aspirants
were . to have a ' t$k over th. propo
sition yesterday afternoon,
During the session two" ,years ago
McCue frequently . presided in, the
House 89 temporary Speaker, and
held that position during several of
the fiercest fights. He was also one
of the principal champions on the
floor for the university appropria
tion bill. McCue is the only ants
