IH ORPHANED AVE
Baker. April 29. That Influenza was
responsible for the tragedy In which Till
' Stratton last Sunday evening murdered
fci wife, committed suicide and left his
five children orphans is the belief of the
children and of relative of Mrs. Stratton
who live In Baker. Stratton was a vic
tim of the discam last winter and is said
to have been irrational at times ever
since. He Is reported to have made a
previous threat against his wife's life,
which she thwarted by facing him and
daring him to execute his threat. She
is said to have known that he carried a
pistol continually upon his person, and
to have been expecting him to attempt to
make use of it, but according to her rel
atives was o a "nervy" nature and un
willing to show fear.
Previous to hfs illness Stratton is said
to have been a model husband, a good
provider and always concerned mainly In
the happiness of his wife and family.
He was owner of property In Idaho, In
cluding an 80 acre ranch near Cald-
well and two city lots at Boise. He was
last Saturday negotiating for the pur
chase of land near North Powder and at
. Hoseburg. with the intention' of trans
ferring his Interests to, Oregon upon the
request of his wife, who had. since his
his previous outbreak of insanity, con
sented to return to him only on condition
that h leave Idaho.
The children are : Martha, 18 ; Earl,
14 ; Ralph. 12 ; Hilda, 9, and Richard,
aged 7. They are now in the care of
their aunt, Mrs. T. M. Hunsaker in
Baker.

the vehicle.

on -Broadway and his motorcycle de
molished, although he escaped Injury by
jumping. A short distance away L. Con

bicycle, was struck, and his wheel dam
aged, although he. too, was uninjured.
Further south on Broadway an auto
mobile belonging to the Rubins Motorcar
company, was struck and a fender torn
off. Although many attempts were made
to stop the horses, their mad plunge was
not halted until the locked wheels of the
dray brought them to a pause. One
horse was slightly injured.
O. Enquist, driver, was in the freight
shed at the time the team started.

Oreeron District and candidate for re

May 21.
Washlnirton, D. C, April 22. 102.
To the Peopla of Multnomah county
Inasmuch as official buKinraa rqutrea
my presence hoae In WaHhlnston, I
shall have little or no opportunity to
meet tha voters of the Third congrrea
clonal dlatrtct before the primary elec
tion on May 21 and dtacuan with them
the Issues Involved In that election. I,
therefore, take tha opportunity of ad
dressing you through the public prints,
this being the first of a aeries of articles
which I shall publish during the cam
paign. I have been your representative In
congress since March 4, 1916, although
my active services at the capltol did not
begin until December 6 of that year. As
your representative, I have devoted my
self exclusively to the public business
and have endeavored to discharge my
duties without playing petty politics.
Purine the time of my service here, our
country has passed through the' crisis
of a great war, during which I put aside
all partisanship and" Rave wholehearted
support to the government's war pro
gram. I voted for better naval and military
preparedness more than a year befora
our declaration of war on Germany and
voted .and worked for every measure
necessary to the conduct of the war and
for the welfare of our fighting men and
their dependents. 1 was one of the 41
representatives who were given a 100
per cent war record by the National Se
curity leaitue a non-nollllcal organisa
tion. Since the armistice, 1 have sup
ported all necessary reconstruction meas
ures. I mention these matters because
one of my opponents is attempting to
make a camoalan on the issue or Amer
icanism. There can be no issue witn i
me on this question for my record will
permit none.
PRINCIPAL ISSUE DEFINED
The nrlnclnal Issue Involved In mi
campaign for renomlnatlon Is whether
thlH country la to re governed Dy wen
organlsed minorities or whether we ar
to nave government ror an me peopia.
I raised this Issue on the floor of tht
House on January 17. 1920, when 1 spok
in favor of an anti-striko provision in
the then pending railroad bill. I con
tended and still contend that the Inter
ests of over a hundred million people are
superior to the interests of any group or '
faction. I believe that the government
has the right to set up tribunals for the
adjustment of industrial disputes affect
ing Interestate commerce and that these
tribunals should be clothed wiin au
thority to enforce their decrees.
I am not opposed to any reasonable
demand of rabor, nor do I favor the
enactment of any law requiring men to
work against their win. Jsucn a law
would not only be unconstitutional,' but
wQnia De st re. i am, iiowbv-u , in
favor of the (enactment' of legislation
forbidding two or more persons to con
spire for the purpose of tying up trans
portation in Interstate commerce. In
other words, I am against strikes and
lockouts. Industrial differences snouia
be settled by the rule of. reason, not the
rule of force. The strike is nothing less .
than a "strong arm" method of enforc
ing a demand, and although it is aimed
at the railroad treasury, the poor people
of the country particularly In cities
arc the real victims. During the recent
outlaw strike, the price of perishable
- . , . . r. . . . I V t.
rooo mcreaaea ou per cent in mw ivri,
Philadelphia and other Eastern cities.
I hold to the belief that men engaged in
interstate commerce are performing;
services Indeapensable to thageneral wel
fare and, therefore, have no right to
m rile no more rlaht than a policeman
or a soldier. In fact, no person has the
right to strike, anywnere or at any time,
against the public petuc, health or
safety.

CHALLENGES LABOR COC3TC1L
Following my speech of January IT,
and the action of the American Federa
tion of Labor, in blacklisting me, I
openly challenged the Central Labor
Council of Portland to -produce or in
dorse a candidate, in opposition to me at
the 'eoming primaries, on the anti-strike
question. The politicians of the above
organization are working hard to de

desire "rubber stamp" legislators who .

yourself to be confused or deceived by ; .
the camouflage or dust clouds of the
opposition. Effort will be made to ln
