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.
