Is fNot Their Work
the People of F
Five days have now passed since the open charge was
made by the East Oregonian that the vice forces of Pen
dleton are supporting the candidacy of Dr. Best and that
they have an association doing organized work in hope.;
of boosting him into the office of mayor of Pendleton.
The charge is made that men who were bootleggers
when Pendleton was dry before and will be bootleggers
again if they get the chance are in leagne to place a man
of their choosing in the mayor's chair. In this organized
group there are men who have been in the hideous busi
ness of prostitution. There are men there who have
made' many thousands of dollars from the earnings of un
fortunate women of the underworld. These men desire
to dictate who shall be the head of the city government
during the next two years.
These are strong charges to be made against a man who
seeks the highest office in the gift of the people of Pen
dleton and is soliciting votes from the good men and wom
en of the city. If these Aarges are true then on the face
of things is not Dr. Best unworthy the office he seeks and
is he not unworthy of a vote from a single respectable
home in Pendleton? Is not his candidacy under such cir
cumstances an insult to the honest men and women of the
town, and would not his election mean public disgrace
for Pendleton?
If these charges are not true why has no public denial
ever been made. There has been ample opportunity for
denial. Five days have elapsed and there has not been
a word to dispute the truth of these accusations.
Is it not fair and reasonable to assume that their silence
is confession and that the charges are true as stated?
