I notice in the Oregonlan of today an article headed "Campaign Lie Exploded," in which extracts j from a speech ot Judge Moreland, of Pendleton, are given, dealing with the charge made that Hon. .7. N. Wil liamson, candidate for congress on the regular republican ticket, was opposed to the employers' liability act in the last legislature. In the speech refered to Judge Moreland is quoted as having given the history of house bill No. 80 and showing that that bill never cam up in the senate but was defeated in the house. I think the statement of Judge Moreland as to house bill No. 80 is true, but it is, it seems to me, only half the truth, for there was also an employers' liability bill presented tu the senate. That Is, there was a sen ate bill as well as a house bill on that subject. I do not know whether M. Wil liamson over voted directly upon thu senate bill oi not, and I have no per sonal knowledge as to how he stood upon that question, but I do know that tho senate bill in favor of the railroad emplayes was CHOKED TO DEATH IN THE SENATE COM MITTEE ON RAILROADS, appointed by Senator Fulton, who was presi dent of the senate, and of which rail road committee Senator Drownell, of Clackamas county was chairman. I also know that the railroad boys who were there representing the measure, tried every means possible to get the bill reported back to the senate by the committee which Sen ator Fulton had appointed, and I my self, among others, went before the senate committee to try and obtain a favorable report upon the bill, but it was found impossible to obtain any report whatever, arid the bill was -finally held back and, as I understand it, never reported to the senate. I also know that Senator William son made no protest and no attempt to secure a report by the committee, so that the bill might come up in the senate to be voted on; and it seems to me that it' Mr. Williamson and Senator Fulton had really desir ed the passage of the bill, they were in a position to have very easily so cured Us report back to the senate, and action of the senate thereon. I write this not because I wish to make any attack on Mr. Williamson, but because I do not like to see men dodge and shirk responsibility In re lation to Important measures of this kind, or try to claim friendship for a measure for which they never at tempted to turn a hand, when they were In a position to have effective ly done so. ALFRED S. BENNETT. Record of the Measure. House bill No. 80 and tenate bill No. 64 were Identical, the one a copy of the other, and they wore en titled, "A bill for an act regulating railways and protecting employes." J. M. Poorman, of Woodhurn, in-i troduced It in tho housa, and Alex.' Sweek, of Portland, In the senate.' It was supported by the following members of the legislature, who are now candidates upon the citizen's ticket of Multnomah county: John Driscoll, for sheriff. I Frank Heitkemper, for ropresenta-, tivc. R. D. Inman, for mayor, gave the measure his hearty suport in the sen ate, and has the gratitude of tho rail way men who wore asking that the bill bo enacted into a law. They will no doubt give substantial recogni tion of their appreciation when the polls open on June 2. C. W. Nottingham, nominee on the republican ticket for joint represen tative, opposed the measure. OFFICE STATE PRINTER. ..USE PURE.. Artificial Ice Telephone Main 105.

TAYLOR THE HARDWARE MAN The Question is Asked, Godfrey or Whitney for State Printer, Which? Some one, signing himself a "Un ion man," writes as follows to the La Grande Chronicle: In the din of battle for the gover norship and local county tickets there is one ofllce in the state ot Oregon that has not received tho at tention that its enormous disburse ments of finances, merits, the state printing ofllce being the one referred to. First, the office costs the state $40,000 a year. Second, there are two candidates seeking the ofllce, J. E. Godfrey, democrat, and J. R. Whitney, republican. Now let us see what the claims of these two men are to the position they seek. J. E. Godfrey, of Salem, is one of the oldest members of the typograph ical Union in the state; has been foreman of the state printing ofllce, is a practical printer, a union man, believes in living wages and a decent number of hours as a day's work; is thoroughly competent to run tho of fice and handle the largo number of men necessary to turning out the work promptly and in a satisfactory manner; is a plain working man, not a politician, and his selection on the democratic ticket is a recognition of the Typographical Union. J. R. Whitnoy, the republican can didate, is merely like hundreds of other good citizens of Oregon, the publisher of a small country nape-, with no experience in the manage ment of such Institutions as that to which he aspires, and experience is something that costs money in a printing office. Do the people of Oregon want to pay for the acquiring of this exper ience? Whitnoy is not a member of tho typographical union. In fact two members of tho union were turned down to give the position to this country politicians, for certain influences in tho state convention. Mr. Whitnoy is entirely unfitted for the position. Last, but by no means least an effort was lately made to form a typographical union at Al bany, tho homo of the republican candidate, and his paper was the only one that opposed it. The state printing office is a union concern from top to bottom. Now we ask, can any member of a union no matter of what organization, vote to put over members of the typo graphical union a boss who is a rat, a believer in long hours and small pay? This is tho situation: Ono a believer in union, J. E. Godfrey; the other opposed to union, as shown by his actions, J. R. Whitney. "Al though ho may capitulate, owing to election demands and to catch the labor vote, yet his action has already spoken louder than words. In thu namo of organized labor you are ask ed to vote and work for J. E. God frey, tho democratic nominee and upholder of unionism and a member of ono of the greatest labor organi zations tho world lids over seen. Again, tho cost of . the state print ing office, as stated, is $40,000 per year. Too much money for the ne cessities of tho office. This is cc knowledgo by Mr. Godfrey, and ho makes tho proposition to the people to accept tho offico on a salary. Can thoro be anything fairer? Again we ask organized labor to stand together and recognize ono of thoir brothers In tho ranks. A UNION MAN. Formor United States Senator Geo. W.
