Vol. XLHL Corvalus, Bexton County Oregov, Friday, June l. fM0. POUTICAL POINTERS. Pertinent Paragraphs Touching on Candidates and Principles. How will it suit the Times to have Dr. Withycombe for gov ernor? There is every assurance that Fred C. Peil will carry his party vete. This means his election. t The democratic brethren seem worried just now. They are learning that this is a republican year. a . e How many republican votes will the democrats need this year? More than they will be a We to get. 6 6 Don't lose any sleep over the election of Geo. W. Smith to the office of county commissioner. He is the same as elected, fe fe fe The Times says Mr. Moses should be re-elected for the third time becanse he uses a type writer. ! ti ft Judge Woodward will be elect ed county judge next Monday. His economical administration of county .affairs in the past is still green in the minds ot the tax payers. s e Let every republican go to the polls Monday fully determined to elect his ticket the condidates nominated by the republicans of Benton county. Vote the ticket straight and all will be elected, see W. C. Hawley, in the course of his address in the court house, Tuesday, advised all republicans to vote their ticket straight, both county and state. Again we beg to ask for in formation relative to the demo cratic idea of the length of a term of office? From what we can learn, they think it is for lite. ft According to the dictum of the Times man, a republican is a fool it he don't scratch his ticket and a democrat is a fool if he does. How about this? t t ft The Times man asks who Mr. Grugett is because he vouches for the honor of Fred C. Peil. We would like to ask who the Times man is that he dares to make a scurrilous insinuation against Fred? ft ft ft T. T. Vita cent will be the next clerk of- Benton county. Of this fact all republicans are assured. You will see. ft ft ft Strange that A. J. Johnson, republican candidate . for state senator, should be making a mis take by supporting Dr. Withy combe against Chamberlain for governor in fact, supporting his party ticket from first to last. The Times says Mr. Johnson is making a gtave mistake, but we don't believe it. ft ft ft Republicans are opposed to long tenure of the same office by one man. Two consecutive terms in the same county office, then get out of the way for some equally well qualified citizen is the usual republican practice, and it is approved by not a few democrats to whom an official class is odious. For these rea sons republicans, and some demo crats, will not support Mr. Bur nett for another term in the sheriffs office. ft ft ft Republicans are so well satis fied with the most excellent qualifications ot their candidate. F. C Peil, for sheriff, and they are determined to elect him. ft Reader, has is occurred to you that the Times in its last issue was a "dead ringer" for a dirty little sheet published to the west ward of Coryallis? We believe the same man is editing, both sheets, but whether He belongs in Corvallis or Philomath is a matter of doubt with us. ft ft ft It is an evil mind that will harbor an ill thought of Fred C. Peil, the republican candidate for the office of sheriff of Benton. The times slurringly remarks that "Mr. Peil is a nice young man." All very true. The Times, not being an authority on the higher virtues of men, it is but natural to presume that some body must have put in a good word for Mr. Peil. ft ft ft It is a shame to steal demo cratic honors and mottos, we ad mit. The democrats of Benton have so long held to the idea that "To the victors (and the Times) belong the spoils" that for republicans to claim the motto looks like theft to them. By the way, when it comes to practicing what thev preach they have been right in it. ft ft ft We are in receipt of a most interesting letter irom Lieutenant Quinlan, who is now stationed at Fort Wingate, . New Mexico. The lieutenant writes of condi tions in both New Mexico and Corvallis. ft ft ft A dirty and contemptible in sinuation on the honesty of Fred C. Peil was fathered by the Times in the last issue. When elected sheriff of this county Mr. Peil wiU have no trouble in se curing bondsmen. Any way, we'll back the honesty of Mr. Peil against . that of the man who made the unwarranted and low attack upon him. ft ft ft One of the biggest jobbers in Benton county is attempting to beat into republican craniums a continuation of lies to the effect that they jobbed themselves when they nominated their ticket. The merit of the men on the republi can ticket is evidently beyond the appreciation of the poor little thing decrying them. Taken altogether, don't they compare pretty favorably with the demo cratic candidates? They were placed in nomination by the re publican party of Bentoa and will be supported by republicans. The democrats need, badly too, at that, republican votes which they will not receive. ft ft ft So wedded to long terms of office are some democratic spokes men that thev claim it a virtue that many years ago they kept a republican on the roost when many of his political friends thought it time for him to hop down. Of course they refer to this ancient history for the pur pose of gaining republican votes for their long term candidates, ft ft ft Republicans voters must be vigilant. Not for years have the democrats had their faces so sure ly set towards the woods. They are desperate and will resort to all sorts of tricks and schemes to deceive and mislead you. Al ready they have planned some of these and are meditating others. Let your answer be to all these a straight vote for the entire tick et. ft ft ft The republican candidates will hold a rally at Philomath to day at 2 130 p. m. At this time the voters will be addressed by the candidates and such well known and able men as E. H. Bel kaap and J. H.Edwards. S. C. Spencer of Portland, secretary of the republican state, central committee, will make the princi pal address. ft ft ft An invitation is extended to the voters of Corvallis, ot the entire county for that matter, to be held at the court house at 8 (Continued on Fourth Face.) WOODWARD AND TAXES. Some Facts Jor Benton County Voters to Remember. The exhibit of the county finance published in April, 1898, preceding Judge Woodward's entrance upon the duties of coun ty judge the J"ly following showed the indebtedness of Ben ton county to $51,519.83. The financial exhibit published the April preceding his exit irom office showed the county indebt edness to be $4,668.78; a reduc tion of $46,851.05 during his term. During this time money was expended liberally on roads, the ferry was purchased, rock crush ers and road graders added to county equipment, 'bridges re built and new ones added. Taxes were low, too. How does this look to the tax-payers of Benton? The following letter from a solid tax-paying farmer should have weight with these voting for judge: Ed. Gazette: Permit me to make a statement to the tax-payers of Benton county showing the difference in dollars and cents between democratic and republi can management of county af fairs. A comparison of tax re ceipts during Judge Woodward's administration with those of later democratic times will show that Mr. Woodward is a very safe man tor the tax-payer. Under Judge Woodward's ad ministration my taxes for 1899 were $48.33; for 1900, $45 .42; for 1901; $40.47; for 1902, $49. 97, making a total of $184.19 for the tour years. Under Judge Watters, a democrat, my taxes were: For 1903, $60.71; for 1904, $79.23; for 1905, $78.06; for 1906, $83.08, making a total of $301.08. Does this not tell a story? Taxpayer. For Recorder. Emery J. Newton, the repub lican nominee for county re corder, is a young man, born, raised and educated in Benton county, who is asking for the honor of being Benton's next rocorder. His capability to han- EMERY J. NEWTON die the work of the office no one questions. His record as a stu dent, as a teacher and as a citi zen has alwavs been clean and honorable. Mr. Newton's nomi nation on the republican ticket is an honor to the party, and the news of his election on June 4th by a good round majority will be most gladly received by all who have ever known him. Circulated Falsely. To Whom It May Concern: I understand that it is being circulated in some parts of the county that T. T. Vincent, the republican nominee for county clerk, crowded me out of the race for that office. I desire to say that all such reports are absolute ly and wholly false. R. W.. SCOTT. Corvallis, Oregon, May 31st, 1906. Mr. and Mrs. Ed DeArmond, of Polk county, are visiting CorralKs rwauTBB. Able and Worthy. No man in Benton county is more capable than Fred C. Peil, the republican candidate for sheriff. Not only is he capable, but he is most worthy. He is a steady young man with a wife and two children to support and his many good qualities entitle him to the vote of every repubh can in the county. Not in many years have the republicans had so capable a man selected for this office and it is their duty to support him vigor- FRED C. PEIL ously. It is not enough to go and vote for Mr. Peil; speak a good word for him wherever you can. Never mind about the shady insinuation cast at his honesty, but consider the source from which it comes. When elected sheriff of this county Mr. Peil will be amply able to give bonds, the same as any other county officer, be the bonds what they may. The republican party stands sponsor for Fred, and 'the republican party will elect him. Republicans will be his bonds men. Here is a prince of good fel lows, of unusual clerical ability, who will do all the work of the sheriffs office without cost to the county for deputy hire, a staunch republican, a man among men do him justice and he will prove an honor to those electing him. Mr. Peil was born in Kansas. He was educated at Bethany col lege and No nial Institute at Lindsborg, Kansas. He is 33 years of age and has been in Ore gon 13 years, more than four in Benton county. He taught school tor ears. A Moral Degenerate. The would-be republican in private life and democrat for spoils, the editor-in-chief of a rag glib at misrepresentation, charges that the Philomath quar tette had been turned down. According to the creature's own statements to prominent repub licans in Corvallis he is getting "the small sum of $150 to sup port Messrs. Moses and Burnett and other democrats." He had the information that he bad been offered $150 by democrats to use as a lever to force republicans to bid higher for his services, stating that "it was up to them." The republican central committee refused to be bled for any sum whatever by any such contemptible cur. It has yet to be proved that man who registers as a republi can and participates in the pri mary election is traitor enough to the men he helps place in nomination to be influenced to turn them down by the persual ot a sheet so vile. Republicans can easily see from whence this contemptible creature receives his inspiration to assist democra cy. One is lenient in stating that he is a moral degenerate.
