t However. Mr. Burke thinks his own

, lowlnn letter to The Journal:
t "1 notl e in your paper of November

j, OreKonlan name the next Governor's
private secretary V On another page
you state that I am trying to line up
the members of the house of represen-
- tatlvcs for Mr. Selling for speaker.
,. You state that I am a politician and
K that I have an unsavory-reputation. I
have not such a reputation. I do not
deserve to have. Why should vou oh-
lect to the fact thllt I hivn taU

;s "'A mutual friend of myself and Pr.
, WUhyrombe? who gave valuable as
sistance to hi campaign, both In the
-'primary and general election, came to

asked if I would manage Dr. Witliy

Directed witfcyoombs's Campaign.
"I told him I would If the doctor bo
desired. From that lime on I had the
direction of Dr. VVithyt ornbe's cam-

What did your paper do to assist Dr.
Withycombe?
( -j0 j ne second statement, I ask why
should I not support Mr. Selling for
' speaker? I took an active 'part in
t' bringing out the legislative ticket In
' this county. Mr. Selling is one of
it them. He first of all consented to
iS ruh.lf; other well known and reputable
if citizens would Join in the movement.
P He irjust the man for speaker. Will
f-1 you grlvs a single reason why he should

standing the fact that many others

..also well fitted to fill this position.
Fled Is Recalled.
"The,. Multnomah delegation is
pledged to the strictest economy and
a. radical reform In regard to com
;i missions, etc., and when it became
'; known that these citizens wero willing
if to give their time to go to the leg
i' lslature for the purpose of cutting"
down the cost of our county and state
: governments, the spirit of economy
was taken up throughout the entire
' state, and I firmly believe the next
legislature will be one to which each
member can point with pride, and it
'will be largely on account of the
. movement started in Multnomah coun-
ty. . 1 feel It an honor to have had
some part In the movement to get bet
: . ter men in our legislature, and while
' : ! may not have the confidence of The
V Journal, I am very glad to say I
have the confidence of Mr. Selling and
T many other good and reputable citl-Bens.
"I Assisted Mr. Selling in his cam
paign for the United States senate
two years ago. Can The Journal
X-olnt to any ill effects on account of
my support at that time? I am very
glad and proud of the fact that E. B.

among those who have recommended
t4;me to the governor-elect as a suitable
person for his private secretary.

Would not recommend me for anything
If he did not have confidence in me.
"I assure The Journal at this time
that Irk case I should be chosen for
this position I would be in favor of
legislation which would leave fewer
jobs to be filled, and I would favor
filling the remaining ones with Re
publicans thoroughly competent, hon

with Ahe taxpayers' money than many

merely asking space In your paper ,
for my answers to anything you might
say;
"I desire" to ask two questions:
Whom do you think the governor

and who should recommend him?
And. who should be speaker of tkc
next house of representatives, and
who should support him for that po
sition?"
