Defeat of Montgomery Would
Be a Public Misfortune in the
j View of Judge S. A. Lowell
December 3, 1915.
TO THE VOTERS OF PENDLETON:
Upon the eve of election may I ask each citizen interested
in the good name and welfare of the city, to forget for a season
the noise and glare of the campaign, and in the quiet of home
'and the fireside to determine upon those men most entitled to
support at the polls on Monday. Will each man and woman
answer to himself or herself in good conscience, these ques
tions: "Were this a personal matter with me, which of the
! candidates for mayor would I most readily trust with my pro
i perty ? Which of the two men would I select for the guardian
ship of my children? With which type of man at the head of
an important enterprise, in which I was interested, would 1
'feel safest?
The writer has sought to ascertain the record of the men,
both public and private, asking

than the duty which he owes to
vote for John E. Montgomery.
to judge the future except the past, none to judge men except
by the story of their lives, and measuring the careers of the
jtwo candidates side by side, there is no difficulty in determin
ing civic duty.
i Mr. Montgomery has been a resident of this county since his
infancy, and his life among us for a third of a century is an
jopen book. His father died when the boy was but five years
old, and the mother was left with a large family, and meagre
i means, hence the heritage of her children has been the stern,
but character-making heritage of hard work. She was and is
one of the noble band of God-fearing American widowed moth
ers who have impressed upon their children the virtues of in
dustry, honesty and thrift. She lives yet at Helix, justly
proud of the family of sterling, justice loving men and women
!she has sent out into the world.
John Montgomery early began to earn his own li'ing. and
to aid his mother, by working upon the neighboring farms, and
) since he was eighteen years of age has held responsible positi
ons in the great grain industry of the county. He has been
educated in the school of honest toil. Employed for years by
Balfour, Guthrie & Company, and by the Puget Sound Ware
house Company, for which last named concern he is now the
county representative, no man has ever questioned either his
ability or his integrity. The large business interests entrusted
to his hands, equip him to take charge of the complicated af
fairs of the city, and to successfully administer them.
The methods of the man are not those of the blusterer or
the slanderer. He does not deal in either billingsgate or vitu
peration. No apology will be necessary for any act or utter
ance of his. either as mavor or private citizen. He has been
upon the right side of the public questions which have arisen
since he has become of legal age. and is willing to stand upon
his record without self praise or adulation. I for one would
feel safe with the affairs of the city in his hands, and would
deem his defeat at this juncture a public misfortune.
Respectfullv.
