I v THE OREGON" DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. TUESDAY i EVENING, NOVEMBER 1. 1910. 'il EST HAS PROVED ED OF I RAVELING I ;i VIow They Are All Working for nis tiecnon; jtevisea nam- Line's Unfair .TfcKet man System.; Traveling men of Oregon are rallying ' to the support of Oswald West In his l candidacy for governor became they ; have found out by experience that he la "th man who dellvera the : goods,'? cThe reason -for their friendship is be causa "West -. championed their fight against the Harrlman lines for a i cent mileage charge; and the abolition ; of the eld three cent rebate system,' , which had caused them financial loss and Inconvenience , for, years.; ? t-Mi- The traveling '' men' throughout " , the ' slate 'are almost a unit in their support of West , Not only are they supporting his candidacy with their votes, but they are working for him. On every train and In every hotel that the traveling man frequents he is to be found talkt Ing West ; The fraternity Is virtually carrying West as a "side line" and It la a side line that they are "boosting.? r I , How Thsy JPala, - v; - At Creswell, in Lane county, the other day West was making an address to a big crowd of voters on the street cor - ner as the train bound 'for Eugene pulled into the station. Three travel ing men were "In the crowd and they made a bolt for their train, but they boosted as they went.;! " ;',W. "West Is a good old boy and we have got to elect him,' one said as tie set tled back into his seat "He has played fair with us and has helped us get what we had been after1? for years. He Is our friend. It does not mean dollars for tis either way It goes, but West lias fought for us. and It 'Is up to us to fight for him. lf he is elected we will take off our hats to him as gov ernor. If he Isn't -rail call, him 'Orf Just the : same, but we are going ,;, to lrt him." . ."' ' . .:.- - "Sure" said the other two. "There's nothing' to It." And that is the kind lraveltng man talk you hear on every haidT In eastern Oregon, In central rreon. where the sUm and the "rig are the only means of conveyance, and In southern and western Oregon West has been the traveling man's friend, snd they are out, to, show their appre- . elation. .-..r Changed Ticket System.- For many years the Harrlman lines chargedvthe traveling men S cents a mile for transportation. When the mile age books were used up the bolder sent the cover to tne company ana a rebate of one half cent a mile was al ' lowed, but the rebating bureau of the company charged , for their work, so ' that leas than half a cent a mil was rebated to the traveling men. In ad dltlon to this, It was the custom, and habit of the company to bold up the rebates until It often was the ease that traveling men would have three or four covers In the hands of the company. In this way the company continually had Aid hand for Its use thousands of. dol lars of money belonging to the traveling men, for which they paid no interest After the railroad commission was created, the Travelers' rotective asso ciation, the organization of the travel ing men, took the mileage book ques tion up with the commission, and West took an active part In carrying their . fight up to the railroad company. As a result of the joint efforts of the T. P. A. and the commission the Harrlman lines In Oregon. Issued a straight 2 I cent mileage book to the traveling men, doing away with the rebate system and obliterating many petty annoyances that ' they had been forced to undergo. This new ... arrangement became effective about a year ago, and Its workings have. ,. made the traveling men the close friends and supporter of Oswald , West. , .

The supreme court' holds.

Bowerman took the big stick to Bourne and Chamberlain and after he had tried out Allan R. Joy took up the cudgel. Gus 8. Moser, formerly a dep uty district ' attorney under Manning, alscu wielded , the big stick In the same manner. ' v .:' John F. Logan praised Bowerman be cause he said he had at one time during the legislative session of 189? been known to refuse to accept mileage from the state while holding a Harrlman pass as a Harrlman attorney. Logan said that the P.epublican. party had freed the slaves of 1860 and that therefore the people ought to vote for Bowerman. By the time Moser, who wa re served for the last, had finished his harangue- m6st of his audience had got tired and gone home to bed. The rally was a big, success, as indicating to the Bowerman managers the lack of Inter est taken In the candidacy of Bowerman by the voters of the Arleta district We ' , : Ask , , Why ' Cough?" u Q.
