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."

"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 Personals ' ttsssrs, CasQbeil Brothers, Eugene, Oregon. fht lasen:-; Teuf Tpfox. of tn 7th. last.TeturnlJUI the enclosures in ours e-f the th., has Just oorae to ny attention.

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. HAB-TB. By jcellauaber CcjapanYp? I J Manaesi-J 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. Tonight at 8 p. m. at Jefferson high school Speakers: Senator Harry Lane , and Dr. C. J. Smith.
