"HEIfEY IS LIAR AND
VIPER," SAYS FULTON
IN BAKER ADDRESS
(Special Dispatch to Th Joaraat)
Baker City. Or., April 11.
Calling Francis J. Heney a liar
and a viper, United States Sena
tor C . W. Fulton addressed a
large audience hero tonight. It
Is estimated that he used the
words "lie" and "liar" J00 Vms
In his speech.
Fulton reviewed his career in
tho United States senate and
Braised tho lata Senator Mitch
ell, and Congressmen William
son and Hermann, stating that
his friendship for Mitchell was
lh death as it was Jn life. He
excused Mitchell's errors by the
Infirmities of . old age, urging
that the dead senator showed no
wrong Intent
Fulton's speech was defensive
throughout Ho did not take the
aggressive at any time and
failed to even mention Statement
No. I, which in this vicinity is
deemed the most Important la
sue of tho campaign.
Because tho Baker City Her
ald had the courage to print
Collier's attack upon Fulton In
full in this evening's edition, the
solon denounced tho paper in un
measured terms- Ho declared tho
article, which classed hfm as an
"undesirable oltisen." had been
sent to all cities .along his;
route . but no other . paper had
-
been low enough to print it His
attack upon the Herald did not
come as a surprise, for the peo-
; plo hero realised how tho publi
cation Of the article hurt the
, feelings of the senator. '
The senatorial fight In Baker -county
is growing very bitter.
Friends of Fulton,, have at-
, tempted to coerce business men
who favor Statement NO. 1 arid -boycotts
have been Inaugurated. '
