AMrlrh, Kdltor of The East Oreuonlan. If the peorla of Oregon do not wish to see, an honest, rigorous effort to ward the enforcement of laws that aim to promote decent social conditions; If they wish to en the slate bouse at Falem a man who will take a lax or In different attitude toward violations of the laws that curb the l!Uor business, tli.-it prohibit pnn.bllr.ir and such Place i as rctrl't' d landerlutn diauO-is, tby T will do wel, not to elect Pr. C J. ,-mtth na coventor. - - If the people thlak It la wnolesoms to have dftrlrt attorneys who shirk their duty, aberlffs who atand In with (ramblers and dlvekeepers, and jrrand Juries that return reports that make the laws of Orison a farce, they will make a mistake If they vote for the PcmocratiP nominee for (tovcrnor. Hut If tho people desire to see the l.iM..cnforced; If they think that laws concerning liquor. rm,bllnB and vice should mean what they say, and that t1 is state should have a covernor who stands fearlessly by his oath of office, and who means btiKlnesa In the direc tion of law enforcement, they will do will Indeed to vote for Pr. Smith. There is not a man In the state more fitted than he to be icovernor durinn a law enforcement era. Ills sympathy Is with that cause; he Is pledged to that program, nnd he has the ability ani the couraRe to arry out his pledces. The people of Pendleton know this, and the vice element here knows it. If you don't believe It, look at the way they voted at th primary cbilon, for those flcures speak more eloquently than words. The bulk of tho votes against Pr. Smith In I'matllla county at the primary were cast In a few wards In Pendleton, where the saloon Interests are strong. In the residence wards he ran like a streak of lightning. That shows Pendleton's estimate of Pr. Smith. It Is nn estimate based on IS years' experience with the man. Interested In the children and their work and play. The building was poorly ventllnted and gonera.lly un fitted for school purposes, and proud indeed, wero we primary folk when we marched to th new school on Alta street, which wo christened The field, in honor of Kugene Hold, tho chil dren's poet. Through later years of i hn K.i othor busy cltisens served a term or terms as trustees, but Pr. Smith remained and proved himself to be a thoughtful progressive In educa tional work. hon a board of education Is chosen hy the people, t places upan the mem bers tho greatest responsibility In so many directions, jot the work Is fre quently siokon of In such a thankless miinner. 1 believe that Pr. Smith tried to keep In mind tho thought that schools are kept at public cxpen.se and thnt ha tried to maintain harmony between tho school authorities and business In terests and urged that they should c.o oporato and bo In touch with the BChools. , Kvldcnee of his popularity with su pervisors and teachers was manifested by tliolr assembling Just before his Kurnpoan trip to wish him Uod speed. Prom my knowledge of his work hero I think ho will rocoivn the hearty co-operation of the school teachers und workers In this city und county. By Mrs. M. J. I.ane. My acquaintance, with Pr. C. J. Smith Is of over 20 years standing. I liavo known him professionally and ns a citizen and he has always stood tor what Is best and most progressive In civic nnd private life. His proven business ability gives assuriinrn that If elected governor tho affairs of tho (into will bo conducted with honesty and good Judgment. Non-ctiforcenicnt of laws on the ptatuto books tend directly to anarchy. Pr. Smith stands, for enforcement of tho law. ' It Is such men, men of character and attainments that our government re quires In high places, in positions of honor and trust.

Hy J. V. Maloney, Member the Com mittee of One Hundred, County Judge of Umatilla County. A few of the many rensong why I shall rupport Dr. C. J. Smith for iror ernor at he coming election: 1st. Because tit the splendid execu tive ability he displayed as mayor of Pendleton and his efforts, against fierce opposit.on, to help the city and make It a better place In which to live. 2nJ. P.ecause of hU Interest In edu cational affairs as was evidenced by his 18 years' of service to the Pen dleton achool district as school direc tor. 1 bad the pleasure of serving with him on thla board for five years and I know that the new high school building and the three grided school buildings were largely the result! of his labor. 3rd. Because he was a strong advo cate of the splendid gravity water system which has recently been In stalled In Pendleton. He baa always stood for public improvements of any kind that were for the good of and best for the people of Pendleton, not withstanding the fact that he has for a number of years been a heavy taz purer In UmatUU Mjuiity 4 lb. Because he has always been a strong supporter cf the church, prov ing himself conacirntious and faithful In the dlschargn of every duty. He affiliates with tho Presbyterians and was for many years a trustee In the Pendleton church. tth. Kecaute he li a man of great strength of character and ability, and If he Is elected as chief executive of this state ho will be the real governor, tho roponsibl and aitual head of the government of Oregon and will not be controlled by any ring or clique. 6th. lleoauho 1 know him lo be ab solutely nonet, t, absolutely conscien tious, absolutely truthful. His every act during the 1J years I have k.iown him Imvo attested this. Tth. Because Pr. Smith Is a man who docs his own thlnkmi- nn liu-uin. able trait In any governor. Slh. Ikcause he will do much for the people of Oregon by using his splendid executive ability to further advanced and constructive legislation. tlh. Boause he is wise, patient, courageous, thoughtful, fearless and possesses a wonderful capacity for work. 10th. Bccauso his career as physl cliui, suriieon, fanner, mayor, legisla tor, executive, and business man. has been a great success and this with his past experience has most admirably qualified him for the position of chief executive of this state. 11. Because he Is by far the most desirable candldato for tho. office of governor before tho people. Warm Praise From Christian Minister J. T. Weaver trrffei That An rrienda of Morality in Government Unite for Former Pendletonlan. By Rev. J. F. Weaver. Having known Pr. smith when he lived hero In Pendleton 1 wish tr ex press myself strongly In his behalf for governor. Ho Is a (staunch sup lorter of good government, decency and morality. A man well equipped as an executive, and will look after the Interests of tho people mentally, physically and morally. . 1 have no hesitancy lit declaring that I am con vinced that all friends of morality will find In him the determination and ability to meet their needs, and they aliould therefore support him. Smith Is Broad And Fair Minded Uplifting Administration Predicted hy Q. M. Rice if Smith It Made Oov ernor. By tl. M. Bice, Cnshler of the Plrst Na tional Bank of Pendleton. "1 have had close bnsincsn relations with Pr, l .1. Smith for over 10 years; have counselled with him on private and public mat torn, and have always found him a big. brond, fair and of nn. tisunl sound judgment. 1 believe the independent thinking peoplo of the state will elect him governor. If he Is elected, the stato will have nn uplifting and tho greatest business administra tion It has over had In Its hl.ste.ry. GOVERNOR IF CHOSEN I RECORD SHOWS IT - Law Lnforcement Crowd--You Should Know What to Do DR. CHARLES J. SMITH 33S E Championed Cause of Presi dent When He First En tered Race for Nomination, Pr. Smith wus one of the first prom inent public men In eastern Oregon to espouse the movement to make Wood row Wilson the democratic nominee for president and the good judgment which he manifested with reference to presidential candidates has been fully shown hy the success and popularity of President Wilson. The Wilson campaign in Oregon be gan with the visit of the then governor Of New Jersey made to this stato in tho rpring of 1911. During that tour and especially by his speeches In Port land Wilson made a tremendous Im pression on most people who heard him speak or read his speeches. He became known as the candidate of tho progressive wing of the democratic party, and he had earnest support from niany people In this state and of a number of progressive newspapers, among them the Kast Oregonlan. Pr. Smith went on record as being a Wilson man many months before the primary election had been held In this state In 191i and long bforo the fight in behalf of Wilson had assumed sufficient strngth to Insure success. When eastern Oregon candidates for positions as delegates to the demo cratic national convention were being brought to the front the name of Pr. Smith was snggested by many of his friends. However, the doctor declined to run and threw his support to his friend, Judge J. .W. llaloney, of Tcn dlrton, who was elected as a delegate and stood firm and true for Wilson all during the Wing, tumultous conven tion at Baltimore. "Man Among Men," Says 20-Year Friend Hot Always Oota Oregon Have Such an Opportunity to Secure So Capable Man for Governor. By I.eon Cohen, Leading Merchant of ' Pendleton. "Pr. C. J. Smith, tho cltlnen, who Is the Poniocratlc candidate for tho state's executive. Is a man amongst men. "He proved himself during a resi dence In our town of Pendleton, where tho writer knew him Intimately and constantly for over 20 years.

How Dr. Smith is regarded in I'ma tllla county, his old home county, was strikingly shown by the results of the voting at the primary election In May. Though a comparatively light vote was cast, as is usually true at prim ary elections, Pr. Smith received 1092 votes in VmrJtilla county for the democratic nomination for governor. He had a majority of ahout S00 over all the other Democratic candidates combined. This splendid tribute to Pr. Smith was raid him In spite of the fact that an extremely bitter-fight had been made against him by the Portland Ore gonlan and by tho reactionary forves In I'matllla county and regardless of the fact that there is a considerable element in the county that Is opposed to vigorous law enforcement and there fore did not take kindly to tho pro nounced views of Pr. Smith on this subject. It is significant that the bulk of the votes that wero cast against Pr. Smith at the primary elec tion were concentrated In a few wards in Tendleton whero tho saloon vote was strong. Out of 50 precincts In Umatilla county Pr. Smith lost but one precinct In the primary election, that bring a small mountain precinct where only three votes were cast. Nor was this tho first tim by any means that Pr. Smith was supported by tho people of his home county. Ho was tvlce elect ed as slate senator from I'matllla county and In each InManco a popular man as opponent. Purt'irnr.oro I'ma tllla county has always been an ex ceedingly strong lii-publican county nnd hence n Pemocrat running for of fice has been forced to make a very unequal front. Yet tkc people of 1'n-a-tllla county regarded Pr. Smith so highly and valued his ability so well they kept him in the stato senate for e.lclit years, to help any worthy community effort with his money and tunc. Not In the luissive way that so many help, as though 'twere simply doling out char ity, but vigorously, helpfully. He Is a distinct gain to any community that Is fortunate enough to have hltn as a res ident He would bring to the governor ship all tho strength, good Judgment and Industry that he possesses In a no. table degree. "It Is not often that Oregon has aft. opportunity to place at tho head of her affairs so capable a man; and If she Is alive to her Interests, be surely will bo the next governor of Oregon." UMATILLA WA ELECTION 101 1. AS MAYOR DR. SMITH SAVED WATER SYSTEM FROM PRI Was Branded as "Populist" for Preventing City From Loss of Invaluable Privilege THERE'S A MORAL TO IT Pendleton's Pine Wew Monntaln Water System Would Be Under Private Ownenhip bnt for Official. During the time that Dr. C. J. Smith was mayor of Pendleton In 1898 there arose a question that was of great local Interest and upon which the then mayor, the present candidate for gov ernor, took a vigorous stand to pro tect the city's rights against the en croachments of a private corporation It Is a story that Is of genuine inter est in the gubernatorial campaign be cause it shows In a most convincing manner how Pr. Smith stood, when put to the test, on the great and never ending struggle between public Interest and individual privilege. . The narrative may be best Intro duced by the reproduction of an Inter view that appeared In the . Evening Telegram of Portland about March 1, 1898. That Interview was as fol lows: "W. S. Byers of Pendleton, whose flour milling property valued at $150, 000 was burned. Is registered at the Perkins. lie informed a Telegram man that he has let a contract for an other mill just as good as the old one, which win be the second largest in the state. He expects it to have a capac ity of 1000 barrels every 14 hours. Mr. Byers has Just returned from Wash inston D.. C. wbere he-weot for the purpose of getting a bill through to protect his water rights. Pendleton Is under a Topulist administration which it seems. Is making Mr. Byers consid erable trouble. 'Democrats or Repub licans' were nut good enough for the people," said Mr. Byers, "who, perforce, mast elect Populists. As a result there is not much encouragement for public enterprise." " The "Populist administration" to which Br. Byers referred was the ad ministration of Pr. Smith. The doctor, though a Pemoirut. wa.', refcred to as a Topullst in a spirit of reproach be cause he had taken a stand for h:s community's welfare. An Attempted Grab. The bill which Mr. Byers then had before congress was not a measure to protect his water right, for his right waa not being contested in any man ner. The bill which had been Intro duced in congress by Representative Kills was Intended to extend the Byers' richt so a.s to give the mill tho ownership of tile city's water supply In addition to the right to use the water of tho Umatilla river for milling purposes. At that time as now, the Byers' water right consisted in a per mit from the department of the inter ior undir which the mil: had tli0 riht to use the Umatilla river water for nulling purposes but not for other pur. poses. Mr. Bxors assumed he had the abso lute ownership of the river and claimed that Pendleton had no"right whatever to taki water from the river for domestic purposes unless with bis consent He attempted to proceed on that theory and had a scheme under which he proposed to sell water to the city for all community uses, it would have been a good arrangement for the mill proprietor because the ownership of a water supply for a growing town like Tendleton is a valuable privilege. !ut the scheme did not appeal to Mayor Smith nor to S. Jackson, now owner of the Portland Journal who was then tho owner end publisher of the l'.ast Orcgonian. Accordinsly, tho matter was taken up with th,i citv council and a protest was lodged against the enactment of any law by c-pngrosa that would extend Mr. Byers' richt, without first throwing adequate safeguards around the Interests of tl e city. An effort was made to give i very possible encouragement to Mr. Byers in his milling enterprise, but a firm stand was taken against allowing htm to fasten a grip on the city's water supply. It was suggested by the public spirited cltixens opposing the grab that an agreement could bo made under which Mr. Byers, if he wished, could furnish tho city with water under a gravity system and re ceive pay based on the cost of the work but tho ownership of the water it was Insisted should remain In tho name of the people, so the rights of the city would be made secure for all tune. They did not want tho city to have to pay unnecessary tribute to a private corporation for a risht it had :iways enjoyed without cost. Guarded City's Bight. That v its the stand taken by tho "Populist administration" of Pendle ton and tho stand had the effect of saving IVndletnn from losing lis water supply to private ownership, lu th, face of the protest made by the mayor and his colleagues congress did not i'.i the legislation d-sirod and tho VATE GRAB WE NED GOVERNOR 10 WILL FIRMLY CURB LEGISLATURE Tax Expert Shows Necessity for Veto of Bills "Har mony" Would Be Fatal, LOG-ROLLING INEVITABLE Only Tbroofh M of Coarsfaou Governor Who Will kepreaeat ITnoia State Can Expanse Ba Stepped. Br C. P. Strain. Assessor of Umatilla County. Thit each succeeding legislature spends public money more lavishly thin any one before It, Is not mere accident nor Is It due to the wantofl extravagance of the individual mem bership. , The fault Inheres la the system. Each of the 90 members bas meas ures of bis own, which too often, ara of local Interest only and detrimental to the state generally, and for tbess schemes he can find support In no way except logrolling with bis fellow mem bers. Thus It is that waste of public money originates, and so It will li ft ays continue In spite of criticism and protest until some rational remedy shall be adopted to atop It. When Dr. C J. Smith declared It favor of the single item veto and of the free use of the veto power, he pro posed such a remedy. The single Item veto would give ths governor author. Ity to pick an Appropriation bill to pieces and to veto any single vicious item. Now, the governor must either accept or reject the legislative budget as a whole. Treasury grabs of vats lous kinds are so intermingled by log rolling committees with the necesjary appropriations that th9 governor must accept the whole conglomerate waste fulness or by his veto risk tielng up all the state institutions. In view of rast experience and considering that a legislature is responsible only to a small district, while the governor's responsibility is statewide the wis dom of the single item veto is so ob vious and the necessity for a free use of the veto powers so apparent that It Is amaiing that this reform was no' adopted years ago. Wbat Is still more astonishing, we are Informed that Pr. Smiths opponent disapproves of this much te.Hled check on lejisluivt waf te. When the public comes to under stand the value of the single item veto they will not be long In securing it. The legislature Itself cannot resist the logic of this demand tand can be ex pected to propose this amendment at the coming session. A single Item veto law would be of value beyond measure In the bands of an executive with vision enough lo distinguish between measures purely local, and those of sufficient scope to merit state support. But such a law would be worthles in the hands of a governor who advocates harmony and ro-opcration with a legislature which by reason of its organixation la bound to subordinate the larger Interests of the ttate to matters of local and per sonl importance. , Having had opportunity to study Pr. Smith at close range, I do not hesitate to state that beneath his congeniality and suaviry there aoides a determina tion which assures steadfast adherence to his policies. His extraordiniry common sense, enhanced by study, travel and wide experience give him judgment and vision. Being a man of the people, honest and Independent, yet magnetic and tactful, he possesses qual'ficatior.s for leadership which constitute a rare equipment for gov ernor. With such a candidate running en such a splendid platform the peo rlo of the state have reason to con gratulate themselves on the present opportunity to abolish tho half cen tury rctgn of legislative misrule In this stato. mill company was not allowed to e. tend dominion over every drinking fau cet and kitchen sink In Pendleton. Thanks to the stand taken by the city administration of thai tim-. Pen ilb'ton continued to enjoy the bi un fits of a municipal waj.-r supply cunt does yet.
