W. Scrlber, Candidate for Joint Senator on the Republican Ticket La Grande, Oregon, May II. (To the Editor.) It will probably be no news to republican voters in Uma tilla county to tell them that the re publican primaries anil convention o this county were "worked" in the In terest of a certain gang, in which whiskey, bull-dozing tactics and mis representation played no small part. There was "boodle" too, and it was dispensed by the hand of the boss' faithful lieutenant, who became the nominee for joint senator for Union, Umatilla and Morrow counties. This was a part of the original scheme. This is fully understood in Union county, where J. W. Scriber lives, and where his political record is well known. He has been for many years the recognized leader of Mit chell republican forces in this coun ty. At the county convention In 1900 his faction met with defeat, and gold republicans were nominated for the three legislative offices joint sena tor for Union and Wallowa counties, joint representative for the same district, and representative for Un ion county. While professing loyalty for the ticket Mr. Schriber's faction silently passed the word along the line, and defeated the legislative part of the ticket. .1 am informe dthat Mr. Scriber is now denying his treachery to hl& party, to the republicans of Umatilla county, and is attempting to prove his loyalty to his party by showing that La Grande precinct No. 2, where J. M. Church, at that time the nomi nee for joint senator, and Mr. Scri ber both reside, gave Mr. Church a majority greater than that given to ..USE PURE..

This trick might work where all the facta are not known. Mr. Church was a very popular man, and received in the three precincts of La Grande fully 250 democratic votes. Suspect ing treachery, Mr. Church had a man with paper and pencil present at each polling place when the canvass was made. It was found, that in La Grande precinct No. 2, Mr. Scriber's precinct, GG voters had voted the re publican state ticket, and the demo cratic legislative ticket. Only 100 such tickets were voted In La Grande. They were, also, found in every precinct in the county wheru the Scriber faction existed. Until Mr. Scriber can account for those peculiar ballots, he can never make the true republicans of this county believe that ho was loyal to the party In 1900. There are other tningb that do not accord with party fealt. During the campaign of 1900, S. C. Spencer, of Portland, called upon Mr. Scriber, having heard that he was "sore," and asked him what induce ment would cause him to support the republican ticket. Mr. Spencer was informed, that ?500 was about the size of his influence. Does a good republican require $500 to induce him to support his 'legislative ticket? It is openly charged hero that Mr. Scriber gave a democrat, in 1900, $125 to bet against Mr. Church, and that the democrat made the bet, won the money, and turned it over o Mr. Scriber, who gave him no commis sion. So much for Mr. Scriber's loyalty to his party. Now, about his loyalty to individual members of his party on his direct promise. Hon. Charles A. Johns, of Baker City, while on a business visit to La Grande recently, told fully half a dozen prominent republicans there that Mr. Scriber absolutely pledged to him the votes of the ten delegates from Union county for governor, at the republican state convention. That with tnese ten voies no comu i have nominated for governor instead of Furnish. But, at the critcal mo ment, Scriber refused to deliver the goods. There is no reason why he should not have delivered these ten votes to Charley Johns as per agree ment, for he had them snugly folded up in his vest pocket, excepting, that as disbursing agent, he was un der obligations to the Pendleton banker for the "sinews of war" that won the Union county primaries. Charley Johns is a lawyer and re sides at Baker City, Oregon. An Old Republican. LETTER TO VOTERS. Candidate for Assessor on Democrat ic Ticket Makes Appeal for More Equal Taxation. Milton, Oregon, May 19: (To the Editor.) The following is from a letter being sent to the voters of Umatilla county by C. P. Strain, can didate for assessor on the democrat ic ticket: Milton, Oregon. Dear Sir: Do you know that there are 219 miles of railroad in this county paying divi dends upon a capitalization of $80, 000 per mile?

Furnish, of Pendle ton, is certain to lose his own coun ty of Umatnla, acording to the besi Judgement of Judge George A. Hart, man, of that county, and Judge Hart man's judgment lias never been ques tioned in political and rarely ever In other matters, says the Portland Journal. "In Umatilla county," said Judge Hartman to the Journal, "there aro COO republican voters, who will not vote for Mr. Furnish, and, on the other hand, there ale only a very few renegade democrats who will. "Wo exnTt Mr. Furnish to open his sack, out :Iiere will be an unusual effort made to prevent the consummation of such a diabolical scheme. "We think that Mr. Furnish's ob jective point is tho United States senate, and that ho is only attempt ing to use the office of governor as a stepping stone to the higher office. We think he was false to Air. Cor bett, as . he promised Corbett's friends his support if they would support him. He made the same promise to Mitchell's friends, and we do not seo how either Mitchell or Corbett could support him. '"Our people laugh at tho idea of Furnish making a business admins tration other than to his own ad vantage. His conduct of the office of deputy United States marshal anu as sheriff of Umatilla county, and the very large amounts of money he drew, convince us that he will not work for tho advantage of any one but himself, and, furthermore, he is considered in a political way a very selfish man. Raley's Immense Vote. "In Umatilla county, Colonel J. H. aloy will get an immense vote; the people up there believe in Jim Ra- ley. "I agree with Editor Scott, of the Oregonian, that it is a piece of im pertinence tor Furnish to think ol running for governor." Republican Consistency. Tho republicans refused to elect tho late D. P. Thompson governor of Ore gon uecause he was a "banker." Now tnoy navo nominated a "banker" for that office who does not compare with Thompson either in ability, experi ence or services rendered to the neo pie of tho state, and who was a Clove- land democrat until ho saw a chance to make more by joining the republi cans in 1S9G, during that famous boodle campaign. Ho was elected snerui or umatllla county by tho democrats In 1890 and again in 1892 and served four years. Thompson helped to build up Oregon and the republican party. Furnish has done neither. If ho should bo elected It wouiu ue a standing proof that there is neiuter justice nor sense In nnrti san politics; that tho eleventh hour auveniurer, who Is entitled to nothing is given what is denied to the true anu tried mend and nubile hnnofno. tor who has served the party and the wuoio peopio long and faithfully and shown ability of the highest order un der all circumstances. -Jo doubt this vwiuimiu ucmuuim una iour years uiu lupuuucan coit lor "offlco onlv" nm m iumern urogon receive thu votes of about all the republicans who vote early and often for locality and "revenue only" and of many dem ocrats who vote tho same way. if he can bo beaten at nil it must bo bv large portion of tho republicans of Western Oregon and especially of Pnnllnml nllu I ... . wiimnu vuuiib against mm, and tho opposition ticket should he n ranged as to accomplish that result. liuguno journal. tvt i . tno crawnsh at aro uno.

The managers of this campaign have Instituted careful Inquiry and n. o.iin0u that have come in re- s onse thereto, almost without ox cCption. indicate that Mr Chamber lain Is growing in strength, and that already from 1200 to 1500 majority east of tho Cascades may bo counted upon. Tins is giinujiuh Mr Chamberlain is taking care of himself in this campaign. He is making a magnificent canvass. He is going to the voters and bravely taking the aggressive. In this his campaign is unique. It has usually been the custom for the incumbeiu party to make the aggressive light, and then for tho party that Is not in power to follow. It Is characteristic of- Mr. Chamberlain and illustrative of his fine courage and dauntless bearing in all previous political con-, tests that he has not hesitated and waited until his antagonist went up- ,,ni,ir nnsiton. on tno siump iu ui..... Indeed, it is apparent that had hu waited uutil Mr. Furnish told the people what he thought and what he l.niinvnri what his views are upon ftiio ninnteri nuestions. that Gabriel's trumpet would have blown us ring ing blasts before Mr. unamuenani would have had an opportunity to make reply. However, the latter haa gone before the people and explicitly tntn.i his nosition. offered his pro gram to all the people, and asks their support to a delinite ouuineu poncy. The positive character of Mr. Chamberlain's campaign is winning him favor every day. The people see in him one who gives a reason for his political faith, one who dares to elaborate his views, one who has nothing to conceal as to his future Intentions. Furthermore, he graciously and bravely turns towards the past and invites the closest scrutiny of every official and private act which constf tutcs his life record. Mr. Chamber lain will bo elected. It has been said that he will be the most sur prised man in Oregon on June 2 Doubtless he will be, for he is po litically astute and does not make the mistake of over-estimating his own strength. Competent judges of political condiions, and close observ ers of the drift of things are of the opinion that Mr. Chamberlain's sur prise will be on account of the largo majority that will be rolled up in his favor. George E. Chamberlain hab been slated by tho Oregon electors as their next governor. Portland Journal. CHARLES H. MARSH. Candidate for Recorder of Convey ances for Umatilla County. Charles H. Marsh, the democratic nominee for recorder of conveyances is in every way qualified to fill the position. Mr. Marsh has been chief deputy under Recorder Malonoy for the past three years, is a young man and competent, and It is to tho In terest of every taxpayer to help him as ho is thoroughly familiar with every detail of tho office.
