I desire to ask as to whether or not the C. N. McARTHUR referred to in
the letter of Attorney General Wickersham to President Taft is the same C.
N. McARTHUR who is now seeking the nomination for Congress on the Re
publican ticket at the coming Primaries? The letter referred to is dated
May 10, 1912, as published in the Seattle Sunday Times of November 3,
1912, and in part states, as follows:
"The Department has in its possession the, original reports of Burns' Agents to him and
those assisting him regarding the names of proposed jurors, which reports were made prior
to the filling of the box. Some of the comments upon these names were as follows:
, " 'Convictor from the word go.' 'Socialist. Anti-Mitchell 'Convictor from the word go;
just read the indictment: Populist.' 'Think he is a Populist. If so, convictor. Good, re
liable man.' 'Convictor, Democrat. Hates Hermann.' 'Hide-bound Democrat. Not apt
to see any good in a Republican.' 'Would be apt to be for conviction.' 'He is apt to wish
Mitchell hung. Think he would be a fair juror.' 'Would be very likely to convict any
Republican , politician.' 'Convictor.' 'Would convict Christ.' 'Convict Christ. Populist.'

at Friday's primaries is an almost or-
taintyl '
Friends Rush to Support.
The virulent and prejudiced attacks
on the character and record of Dr. C. J.
Smith, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor, are arousing
his friends throughout the state to his
support in a mighty storm of protests
and a demand for fair play.
In eastern Oregon, where he has
spent the greater portion of his Oregon
career, the press and the public are
united in branding the opposition to
his candidacy as a plot on the part of
the Oregonian and Telegram of this
city. Significant as being typical of
eastern Oregon opinion at the present
time. Is the following excerpt from an
editorial appearing in the Milton Eagle
of May 8:
"The most formidable opposition to
the nomination of Dr. Smith comes
from the Republican newspapers
throughout the state, led by the Port
land Oregonian and Telegram. These
are seeking hla defeat because they re
alize that if. nominated he will be the
strongest candidate the Republicans
will be forced to oppose.
Smith Has Army of Trltads.
"Among his followers and chief
backers la Governor West, and Gov
ernor West's support in this instance is
going to count for a great deal. In ad
dition to the support of the governor.

'In addition to this an affidavit was received on the 12th inst. from C. N .Mc
Arthur, who was one of Burns' agents in the field and afterwards speaker of the
house of representatives of Oregon. Mr. McArthur makes a complete disclosure of the
whole situation, which leaves no possible ground for doubt. Among other things he
states that on or about July 25, 1905 (the jury box filled August 17, 1905), Burns
telephoned him that he wished to see hitn in the District Attorney's office, and
while there, and in the presence of Francis J. Heney, Burns handed him a typewritten
list and said as nearly as Mr. McArthur can remember: 'Here, Mac, is a list of pros
pective jurors from several counties. Take it, weed out the of who will
not vote for conviction and return it to me as soon as possible, for we are going to
make up a new jury box, and we want to be sure that no man's name goes into the
box unless we know that he will convict, for by G d, we are going to 'get' Williamson
this time, you can bet your sweet life, and we will send this whole d d outfit to
m1 ATT?cre ?7 blon- We are going to 'stack the cards on them this time.' Mr.
McArthur states that he became indignant and told Burns that such methods as he
proposed Were altogether improper and that no self-respecting man would be a party
to them, and Bums replied: 'Any methods are justifiable in dealing with these of
uTTt' St-ejf!E?V;r hat on or about September 1, 1905, he met Burns and the
latter said to him: 'Well, Mac, we weeded out the of s, at least I think
we dlj and,weL y?", Williamson thj time, and by Gd, we will get the whole
d -a crowd. Old Sladen kicked likri h 1 because my men worked the list over
before they went to the Jury commission, but it didn't do the old of a
anyood "V1 h corrected list went in anyhow.' '
Mr. McArthur, it is to be remembered, was one of the Bums agents and furnished
many of the reports which are on file in the department. He claims, however, that
he did so with great reluctance and under duress, and after much persuasion. He does
hot state the nature of the duress, but 1 am informed is willing to do so if you insist.
"Very truly, LOUIS E. MEYERS."

particularly In his horns county, Uma

"The truest index of a man's char
acter is his reputation among those
who know him bast. In Umatilla
county where almost every man,
woman and child knows this man
either personally or by reputation, he
stands high in ths estimation of the
public. His record Is an open book
and can bs examined by any who de
pirs. "His recent refutation of the attack
made against him, charging that while
mayor of Pendleton in 1898 he abetted
gambling and other moral Crimes, was
convincing and damaging to his op
ponents. "Dr. Smith will receive a big vote In
this county (Umatilla). But he may
not fare so well in a few other places,
so to make things sure it would be a
nice thing If every Democratic voter
in Umatilla county cast his ballot for
Dr. Smith for governor at the primary
election next Friday."
Popular in Central Oregon.
Over at Redmond, in Crook county, in
tha very heart of the Carey act project,
the settlers believe that Dr. C. J. Smith
and Dr. James Withycombe are the
two candidates that can be counted on
to do most to promote the development
central Oregon. This consensus of
c pinion Is reported as having been ex-
essed at a meeting of Redmond peo
ple held last week in that town. The
Oregon Hub of Redmond, in reporting
the meeting, said in part: "C. A.
Johns and A. M. Crawford were be
lieved to be the most objectionable
candidates, while John Manning and
others were nominated to remain at
home, being unacquainted with condi
tions in this section and not interested
in the upbuilding of this part of the
state."

Wm. P. Lord announces hia candi

land, wrested from the people, and to
protect the rights of settlers on arid

Mr. Lord further pledges ilmself to

No credit is due to an officer who
has done his duty, whether for one
year or for 18 years. He was paid to
do his duty, and if he failed to en
force the laws he is derelict in his
duty.
What the people require of a can
