Rebuking Corruption.
Champ Clark, discussing the Pan
ama canal tolls at a luncheon In Wash
ington, said: r
"My opponent's argument on this
point seems to me as absurd as the
argument of Washington White.
"As Wash sat on his stoop one
morning 'round election time, the Re
publican candidate for mayor stopped,
sounded him a little, and finally gave
his $1 to vote the Republican ticket
"A little while afterward the Dem
ocratic candidate came along and gave
Wash $2 to vote the Democratic ticket.
"Then, just before Mlnner time, the
.progressive canaidate turned up and
i gave Wash $3 to support the Progres-
slve cause.
" "Well, which one of 'em is you
going to vote fur?" asked Mrs. Wash,
as she smiled upon the heap of silver
which her husband had earned that
morning on the front stoop.
" 'I think I'll vote for the fust fel
ler,' said Wash, 'the one what gimme
the dollar.'
" 'Why,' cried his wife astonished,
'why vote for him?
" 'Because, Wash answered, "because
he is the least corrupt' "

From which expressions, together
with other words passed in a brief
altercation, Dr. A. J. Giesy, chairman
of the investigating committee drew
the conclusion:
"This wrangle has Its value. It
answers as well as anything could our
own question: Can the county business
be administered in the best interests
of the taxpayers when the commission
ers work at cross purposes?"
Lightner Qives Views.
Dr. A. J. Giesy put a direct question
to Commissioner Lightner:
"Do you' consider harmony between
county officials essential to efflc
lency?"
"Oh, this harmony business is a mis
taken business," answered the commis
sioner promptly.
He went on to say that he believed
a commissioner should vote one way

with his own best judgment. (
"J. never went into any combLnstion
with anyone, he said, and added: !
"Commissioner Hart is an uncertain ,
quantity, which Mr. Holman knows
better now than he did." This was in
answer to the question as to whether
ne had an agreement with commis
sioner Hart to work against Holman.
Bad Feeling Indicated.
Hart had a sick spell, narrated
Lightner. Before his sickness he was
cooperating with Holman. After his
sickness he was turned against Hol
man.
"I can't explain why," said Lightner.
I never went near him nor visited
him nor had anything to do with him
in any way in the world."
As evidence of lack of cooperation.
Lightner and Holman secured the ap
pointment of a purchasing agent and
several women office employes with
out consulting him.
Then, tit for tat. Lightner admitted
that M. J. Murnane was deposed as
superintendent of bridges and ferries
and Madison Welch reinstated in this
office, without consulting Holman.
The questioning at this morning's
hearing of the investigating committee
was conducted by George Mason and

committee, with a number of questions
by Dr. Giesy. Paul Stark Seeley, Ama-

Lafferty ?s. FiIcArthur
From Same Beginning Op
posite Roads Are Traveled
Starting 10 Years Ago as Land
Agents, Lafferty Has Served the
Poor, McArthur the Higherups.
A. W. DA77EBTT.
Ten years a so, when the so-called
iand fraud cases were being tried, A.
W. Latferty was 28 and C. N. Mo
Arthur 25. Both were employed by
the government, and received their in
troductlons to the publlo life in Ore
son through the work then done.
Hince that time Lafferty has twice
been elected to congress and McArthur
twice to the Oregon legislature. Kach
will soon finish his second term in the
legislative body to which he waa elect
ed, and they are now opposing candi
dates for election to congress lor the
term to begin March 4, 1916. McAr
thur is the regular Republican nominee
and Lafferty is running as an "Inde
pendent Publlo Ownership" candidate,
A battle royal Is promised.
Sympathised With Mitchell. .
During the land fraud trials Lafferty
sympathised with many of the defend
ants, particularly Senator Mitchell.
Congressman Williamson and County
iern ira waae or Lincoln county.
ianeny aid not believe any or these
defendants guilty, and openly said mo
at the time. He wrote a letter of sym
pathy to Senator Mitchell during his
trial, expressing the hope that he would
be acquitted.
About the first of August, 101, in
the midst of the land fraud trials,
Thomas B. Neuhausen, chief special
agent, notified Lafferty that his serv
ices would not be needed longer In con
nection with the trials, and that he
could go to Lincoln county to investi
gate homestead entries.
As homestead Investigator Lafferty
stood flat footed for the settler, and
against the contentions of the general -land
office. He refused to make an
adverse report against the entry of
any settler who had not sold his claim
to a speculator.
Started Suits Against Bailroad.
In 1908 Lafferty resigned as special
agent and opened a law office In the
Ienton building. In 1907 he started
the first suits ever brought to enforce
the Oregon railroad land grant, A year
later the government filed a similar
suit, practically adopting the allega
tions of Lafferty's complaint.
When Lafferty was elected to eon-
f:ress in 1910 the land grant case was
agging. By many it was considered
dead. It has since taken on new life,
due to Lafferty's continual agitation
of it, and the rase Is now In the su
preme court, where a flnsl decision
will be rendered inside of the next
eight months.
Antuor of Deg-lslstlon,
Tn congress Lafferty has stood for
the poor people on all questions. He '
Introduced the first eight-hour bill for -women,
and the first street railway
ownersnip dim, ever orfered in congress.
The former is now the law and the lat
ter has In a later bill been favorably
reported to the house and will soon be
the law.
Big business says Lafferty never
gets anywhere But the things he
starts come to pass.
From the day he was 21 till he came
to Oregon in 1905, Lafferty practiced
law at Montgomery City, Mo. He was
raised on a farm and graduated at 29
from the law department of the State
university. In Missouri, Lafferty
served as prosecuting attorney, secur
ing the first convictions against option
gambling in agricultural products ever
hsd in that state.
McArthn Belped Burns.
Now a word as to McArthur. Jn 190
he aided Detective W. J. Burns In fill
ing the Jury box with anti-Mitchell
men. Laff-rty took no part In the
jury box filling and knew nothtnjr
about It. McArthur assisted In it be
cause powerful Influences were brought
to bear on him to do so. He was a re-
gorter on the Oregonian when hired by
iurns for the job. The letter of the
attorney general to President Taft,
dated May 10. 1912, says:
"Mr. McArthur, It is to be remembered
was one of Burns' agents and furnished
many of the reports now on file in the
department. He claims, however, that
he did so with great reluctance and
under duress and after much persua
sion. He does not state the nature of
the duress, but. I am Informed, is
willing to do so If you insist, very
respectfully.
' GEO. W. WICKERHIIAM.
"Attorney General."
If Mr. McArthur should be elected
to congress and should refuse to serve
the interests be would have even more
powerful Influences brought to bear on
him. Lafferty has been offered bribe
of cash, and bribes of favorable news
paper publicity. Since both of these
failed, he has been threatened with
sc-andals and near scandals. It is an
old political trick to "pull a scandal"
on the man who cannot be bought.
KcArthnr an "Assembly"

In 1910 Mr. McArthur was one of
the prime movers In the "Assembly"
In Portland, and was its nominee for
state senator. He was defeated by
George W. Joseph, the direct primary
nominee.
Between 1910 and 1912 McArthur waa
out of office, and whom did he serve
in private life? He served as presi
dent oi tne mooo mver was st miectrio
company, a subsidiary of the Pacific
power &. Lignt company, organized lor
the purpose of freezing out an inde
pendent competitor at that place. That
McArtnur servea as presiaent er mis
company In 1912 is shown by the re
port of the corporation on file at Sa
lem. McArthurs brother, Lewis A.
McArthur, is assistant general man
ager of the Pacific Power A- Light
company.
Special Interests support BteArthnr.
In this campaign every special Inter,
est is supporting McArthur. His elec
tion would mean that service to the
corporations brings better rewards than
service to tne people. .
That Lafferty will be reelected No
vember 3 by an overwhelming majority
is practically a foregone conclusion. He ;
is devoting all his energies to the cam
paign for the first time, and he will
win. He is not the kind who loses, at
least without a fight. His defeat
would mean that a lifetime of honest
service to the public will meet with no
sympathetic response from the voters,
and the setting of such a precedent Is
unthinkable.
