THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; . PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE I, 1808. ICIIISOO ;. UHBAfl Harriman Interests Distrib ute Anonymous, Circulars Attacking EaUroaid Com-missioner--rian Is to Elect Their Own Man. ( The hand of the Harriman railroad system haa appear In the tight that la being made to defeat Clyle B. Altch. l lson for reelection as' a member of the I state ' railroad -commission Through j Its agents and detectives It la distribute 1 Ing . anonymous circulars - attacking Altchlsoa and urging the election of Arthur N. Hamilton, the railroad choice. Hamilton was a member of the com mission some 1 years ago, ana nis rec ord was ao satisfactory to the railroad ! interests J.hat they are seeking to Una ' uo their employes In hla favor, at the same time maKing unaergrouna tiuKu on the present commissioner. Hamll- I ton's service on the commission waa ao unsatisfactory to the people that the . commission of which he was a member I was abolished by the legislature. . ' i E. B. Woods, apeclal agent of; the ' O. R. & N., is one of the chief dla J tributors of Hamilton literature. Nat urally the railroad stamp is not printed on the anonymous; circulars, but their origin has .been sufficiently estab , llshed. -r- H am n ton, the railroad choice, was for v years in the saloon business, and Is a . member of the bartenders' union. He i ran against Aitchison in the primaries I and when defeated came out aa an ln- dependent candidate. . , " The campaign . against Aitchison shows that the Harriman railroads are at their old tricks. The railroad com mission vitally concerns the railroads. It is a citadel that the railroads seek to capture In every state, so that com plaints of railroad exactions and dis criminations can be adjusted from the : railroad standpoint. California has for years been under railroad rule, tools of the Southern Pa cific being elected to the railroad com mission. . So notorioua is this condition of affairs that a strong effort was ' made at the last session of the )egls . lature to abolish the . commission, but I the railroads controlled the legislature J also, and the movement failed. I The Harriman agents are now seek- Ing to control the Oregon railroad com , mission. Hamilton la their Instrument j In this fight, and they are doing their ! best to land him. .AUehlson's activity In reforms has hot pleased the O. R. & J N. ' and Southern - Pacific officials, but they have not been able to accuse him ; of 'being unfair. He Is .the only at- tornev who la a member of the com ml s- sion, and his services are thereby par ; tietilarly valuable. - - . . ? Thnt a vote for Hamilton Is a vote for Harriman has become plain by the ? developments of the last few weeks. -mere in evidence inai ins people win f resent this effort by the railroads to dictate the choice of men who "will J pass on - matters affecting them. rIULTITUDES POUR INTO ; CITY FOR THE FESTIVAL , ssBHWMnaiMwawSMHmaaMmwmaasMi M .
