All ot thla criticism' of Hofer Bros- by ths Oregontan is due to toe fact that we have never supported the Soott family's standing candldat for tho office of atata printer." - Then the Salem editor became a Iitue humorounc "I have always been drilling to sup port Harvey Scott for United States senator, but draw th lln st giving an other member of th family, tha next fattest office in the atata.
