"Withycombe should be defeated."
Tlila Is the emphatic declaration of
I lie Portland Labor PrenB, the official
organ of the Central Labor Council.
Under the headlines "By their fruits
ye Kliall know them." the Labor Press
last Monday reviewed the records of
the . candidates for governor, in an
editorial conspicuously displayed In
large type on its flint page.
Leclarlng ,that Dr. Withycombe Is
opposed to organized labor and to
progressive legislation, the Labor
Press says further that he '"is allied
with machine politicians, with big
business, and against every interest
that has for years past tried to wrest
political control from the bosses and
make Oregon a decent state In which
to live. That he is against the direct
primary la proven conclusively by hie
repeated statements during this cam
paign." Dr. 'Withyeombe's extraordi
nary utterances concerning Chinese
labor are quoted verbatim, and work
' logmen aro warned not to forget
them.
Following Is the , comment of the
Lebor Press:
"Dr. Withycombe Is a candidate for
governor. His whole past record
shows that he Is opposed to the-prin-.
ciples of organized labor and to pro
gressive legislation. lie is allied
with machine politicians, with big
business, and against every interest
that has for years past tried to wrest
political control from the bosses and
make Oregon a dwent state in whi'h
to live. That he is against the direct
primary is proven Conclusively by his
repeated statements during this cam
paign. Also the laboring men of the
state should never forget the follow
ing statement made by him In a
speech at Oregon City early in tho
campaign and afterwards repeated
several times In spite of the protest
of his campaign managers. "A great
mistake was made in the past by
shutting out Chinese labor, which had
begun to clear the land in the Willa
mette Valley. Agitators " from San
Francisco came up and, assisted by
demagogues, from Portland, carried
the peoplp of- Oregon off their feet
and caused the Chinese to be driven
out. Our, people did not have the
courage of their true convictions and
made a great blunder through thus
being swayed by "faddists and led by
mob rule.
"Wlthycom-c should be defeated."

even to the extent of carrying the'
issue before the president.
"lie was one of the best governors
Oregon has ever had," declared Sena
tor Lane. He warned his audience
that they must be careful or they
might make an unfortunate selection
for governor November 3.
Booth's Appetite for land.
Discussing Booth, he stated that the
Republican candidate had begun life
as a poor boy, and now, according to
a report issued by the federal govern
ment on lumber industries, owned-4
324,000 acres of timber land. This'
was more- land than any one man
should own, he declared; and he point
ed out that if there were 12 more- men
with a. like appetite for-Oregon timber,
there would be nothing left in the
state tor anyone else, and the people
might 'as well move out. A man who
takes so much in excess of what he
needs Is hardly tho man to represent
the rest of the people in the United
States senate, he asserted.
"If elected, he will -have a voice In
deciding what shall be done with the
Oregon & California grant, in case
the government wins its suit," said
Benator I.ane, referring to Booth,
"lie is not the kind of citizen you
want to represent you. He is too
closely allied with the large timber
interests. If this keeps on you will
be dependent upon the largess of the
land holders."
Hanley Xxffo Z,and Solder.
How the Hill Interests secured pos
session of 800,000 acres In the old
military road grant west of Albany,
and the close alliance of the Booth,
Weyerhaeuser and Hill Interests, was
told. The speaker pointed out that
th Booth and Weyerhaeuser Interests
l.ad Booth west of the mountains and
the Hill interests had Hanley, who
looks after the Hill Interests, east of
the mountains. In the event that
either Booth or Hanley should win,
the interests of the Hills, Booth and
Weyerhaeuser would be taken care of.
Hanley has great land interests, It
was explained, and when he had a
large cattle range the custom prevailed
to urge those who ventured on terri
tory sed as range to leave as rapidly
as possible, a rifle being used to back
up sdeh commands.
Hartley's one asset, according to
Senator Lane, was his resemblance to
Bryan- and he illustrated the danger
ous character of a man who looked
and talked like a good man, but pos
sessed none of his good qualities. He
declared that beyond the resemblance,
Bryan and Hanley had nothing, In
common.
Xionff Service Does Wot Disqualify.
"It -dtm't seem possible that the
people of Oregon would send men
like these to Washington," said Sena
tor Lane, referring to Booth and Han
ley. "It is no criticism of a man to
say he has served a long time, when
be has served you well."
He dwelt upon the Importance of
aiding President Wilson by electing
men who will be In sympathy with
him. He referred to his own experi
ence as mayor of Portland, and how
a hostile council had been so anxious
to prevent his administration from
being a success that it cost the city
, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
As a member of the board of health
of Portland, Senator Lane stated, he
first became associated with Dr. C. J.
Smith, and had found him to be a
cormorant for work not for timber.
Dr. Smith was complimented for his
splendid business ability.
, "He is shrewd and careful, and, if
he does not curb the expenses of the
state And keep a watchful eye on
legislation -it will not be because ho

TRAINED TEACHERS NEED
This Is Statement of Zieagne Concern
ing' Instructors In the Common
and Sural Schools.
An appeal for the support of the
bill appropriating funds to reopen the
state normal school at Ashland has
been issued by the Oregon Citizens'
.aucational league in the form of a
resolution recently adopted by the organization.
The league points out that a large
percentage of the teachers in the com
mon and rural schools is without nor
mal training or any kind and that a
large area In southern Oregon is sit
uated at a great distance from the
present normal school, making it im
possible for prospective teachers to
take advantage of the courses offered
there because of the expense of travel
Heed Is Pointed Out.
"Oregon is essentially an agricultural
state, ' said Kugene Brookings, presi
aent or the league, "and if we are
to develop our agricultural resources
we must make country life attractive
to inose who go upon the land and
develop It. No one will move into a
rural section of this state for the pur
pose of making a permanent home
where the educational facilities are
not up to standard. The first requisite
of an efficient school Is a well trained
and skillful teacher. The farmer gives
more of the product of his toil to the
development of this state: than any
other individual. He gets back less
than any other Individual. The least
we can do is to give him the best ed
ucational equipment.
"We feel that a normal eehool at
Ashland is a much-needed institution,
and that the small amount of money
asked for to reopen the same should
be appropriated by the people of this
state. We therefore request the sup
port of the people for bill No. 312 in
the coming election."
The resolutions follow:
Flan la Indorsed.
Realizing that a trained teaching
force is the first requisite for an ef
ficient common school system, upon
which all our educational structure
must rest, and also that the only way
to obtain such trained teachers is to
provide ample normal school facili
ties; also that a consideration of econ
omy alone requires that the large sum
spent annually in Oregon on common
schools should ne under teacners who,
because of proper training, can re
turn a dollar in service rendered for
every dollar of taxpayers' money;
Therefore, the Oregon Citizens' Edu
cational- league heartily indorses the
effort to reopen the southern Oregon
state normal school at Ashland, which
measure will appear on the ballot at
the coming election as No. 312, and
urges every citizen having the educa
tional uplift of the state at heart to
lend their best endeavor to that end.

DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
Facsimile of two letters sent by R. A. Booth to the Eugene Guard.
R. A. Booth, answering Governor
West at the West-Booth discussion
last Friday night, declared that he
had never made a tender of money
to the Eugene Gurd. He said the
Guard had solicited him for advertis
ing, and he had paid $40 for that
purpose.
Mr. Booth's own letters, dictated by
himself and signed by his own hand,
prove that his assertion about adver
tising was false. When he was mak
ing these assertions, and endeavoring
thus to crawl out of the uncomfort
able' position in which the governor's
revelation had put him, Governor West
held Mr. Booth's original letters in
his hand.
The first letter, written and signed
by Mr. Booth, tffers Campbell Broth
ers, then publishers of the Guard;
"the few dollars that we enclose in
aid of your paper." f
There is nothing there about ad
vertising; nothing about any money
that the Booth-Kelly Lumber company
owed the Guard on legitimate account,
but merely an offer of "the few dol
lars that we enclose in aid of your
paper."
Campbell Brothers refused to accept
the money and returned It to Booth.
After this letter was read by Gov
ernor West at the meeting Friday
night, Mr. Booth said:
"The letter tbat was read here in re
lation to money that X paid the Guard
hear me on this point: The Oaard's
manager came to me soliciting money
for advertising. We had newer adver
tised. I gave him the $40 and he newer
returned it. No such letter as was
read ever came to me from him, nor
anyone else. It Is a falsehood out of
whole cloth."
While Mr. Booth was loudly crying
"falsehood out of whole cloth," the
governor also held in his hand the
original letter dictated -and signed by
Mr. Booth, in which the timber mag
nate sought to palliate his offense
and soothe the feelings of the pub
lishers of the Guard.
The facsimile of the letters, as pub
lished herewith, show that the money
was given to the Guard by Mr. Booth,
without any solicitation from the
Guard; that the money was returhed
by the Guard, as stated by Governor
West, and that Mr. Booth, In his sec
ond letter, acknowledges its return
and endeavors to explain why he of
fered the money. The stenographer's
notations on the letters show that
they were dictated by Mr. Booth personally.

Eugene, Or., Oct. 29. Charles
Knights, of Vancouver, B. C, who en
listed in the United States navy at
the Eugene receiving office yesterday,
has two heights, which are contained
in the official report on his enlist
ment. One of them is five feet five
and one-half inches, and the other
height Is five feet nine and one-half
inches.
The peculiar physical condition in
which Knights finds himself is due
to an elasticity of the ligaments of
his legs which he Is able to control.
The local recruiting officer states
that never in his years of experience
has he seen a man with such a fac
ulty. Knights will be sent to San
Francisco to report for duty at the
naval station there.
