BOHEMIA NUGGET. C. J. HOWARD EDITOR. Kn(ie1 at tho roUffloe t CnlUge Onxt, teiron as Seeond Class mall matter. HubcTlptlon iiflr, 01.30, In inc. AdTrrll-Inc rte made known upon SrppUeaMon. Friday, May 25, 1900. Hon. R. A. Booth the repnbli cair candidate for joint senator, is a man whose business and public career bespeaks for him the solid support of the business and laboring men alike. His whole lile has been one of close application to business in which he has been not only in the position to employ hun dreds of men in the ordinary walks of life, but so situated that he has been enabled to study the re quirements and needs of the labor ing men. Standing today at the head of the largest labor employing institut'on in Lane county i. e. Booth Kelley saw mill, he comes in con tact with the laboring men first, last and all the time. He is splendidly educated, a conservative business man, and one who under stands the economic measures nec essary to good government and beneficial to those who depend upon their labor. He will receive the support of every man in Iane county who has the interest of good state and national government at heart, and who realizes that one of his important duties is to aid in the betterment of the conditions of the men who depend upon manual la bor for a living. The Guard, following up'its for mer tactics grossly misrepresented L. T. Harris in its report of the candidates here last Saturday. One Holt who poses as a foreign mis sionary advocate and who is a member of the I,ane county citi zens ticket campaign committee, is responsible for the report, no doubt coached by E. R: Skip worth, who in order to get revenge upon Mr Hairis for the clever way in which he (Harris) scorched his silver tipped wings in his closing re mark's, put Holt up to bring in the report, in which he stated that that the reason hops are low is because the fanners do not drink enough beer. This statement is a base prevarication from beginning to end, made doubly so coming from a man who is traveling about the country soliciting alms for the starving natives of India. A man who will sit through, an address and then go out and make as ma licious and uncalled for report of that nature is either mistaken, a wilful liar or a gentle prevaricator. If he is the gentleman he would have people believe him to be he will apologize to Mr. Harris pub lically and personally. THE JOINT (US The Honorable E. R. Skipwortb while here last Saturday had two op three of the old line voters crowded in a woodshed trying to bent into them the merits of the citizens ticket and ostensibly, his own gigantic worth, and had oc casion to- allude to the Dingley bill, aud its shortcomings, likewise the "great and unnecessary" ex pense it is to the farmers. Ashe was warming up to his argument one of tho farmers suggested that if we could have "another four years of the prosperity we have had in the last four years- we could afford to pay for the Dingley bill. Skip worth, hesitated a moment smiled one of his "intelligent" smiles and changed the subject. While In some localities the re cent sickness of Hon. Ivan Mc Queen may have a tendency to lessen his chances for votes, still it can be safely said that where he is known his non-appearance on the canvass will not lessen his chance for election. Mr. McQueeu is well posted on the issue now upper most to. the minds of the American voter, . is a firm believer in the principles republicanism, and is greattenough .to do his duty as an untomisUeiL cousce,nce. sl;aU. H?: tate. I TUB CANDIDATES VISIT HERE Goad Crowd Hcaid The Speakers Hon. R. A. Booth met With a Fine Reccptiou. Last Friday the candidates on the republican aud citizens ticket reached this city in the afternoon and held joint discussion, L. T. Harris, republican nominee for legislature, E. R. Skipworth, citi zen nominee for the same honors, and Levi Geer of this precinct, also citizen nominee for represen tative, taking part in joint debate. Mr. Harris lead and delivered a fine speech on the national issues. He was followed by Mr. Skipworih, who ' put in most of his time in abusing Mr. Harris, which showed conclusively to the audience that he is no match for his young ad vasary in debate upon the real issues that confront the American people, and right there many who heretofore were not altogether friendly to republicanism, com mented to the effect that a man who was too timid to set before the people to whom he looked for po litical support, his ideas on the live issues of the day, was not a safe man to send to the legislature, and the fact oi it is that Mr. Skip worth's fixed determination to avoid entering into a dispute with Mr. Harris on the questions which today interest the progressive and intelligent people ot Lane county, more than the election of Mr. Skip worth to the legislature, will cause him the loss of many votes in this preciuct. Mr. Skipworth is quite handy with satire and ridicule, but his ability as a merfsurer of mo mentous questions is sadly lack ing, and in this respect he is sen sible enough to avoid mixing up with men of Mr. Harris' intelli gence. Mr. Geer followed, open ing with a very pretty compliment to Mr. Harris and then took up the money question. Upon this he made a very good speech from a populist idea, but the trouble is, the populist idea isn't good, hence Mr. Geer's speech cannot be taken seriously by the majority of those who had the pleasure of listening to the sturdy farmer, who errs not from selfish motives but because be thinks he is right, and when he sees that he is following a false god, and that time is now ap parently near at hand, the people will find Mr. Geer man enough to come out and acknowledge his error. However that acknowledge ment should be forthcoming before the people trust legislative meas ures in his hand, not because he is not sincere in his belief but be cause the majority of the voting population of Lane county sincerely believe his beliefs to be wrong and adverse to the best interests of this country. knthusiasticai.lv received. A- per date Hon. R. A. Booth, republican candidate for joint sena tor, addressed the citizens of this city Wednesday evening at Mar tin's hall. The hall was full of en thusiastic men and women, aud his address was absorbed by them to a marked degree. Especially was this true of the Saginaw mill hands, who were out almost to a man to hear what their favorite employer had to say. Mr. Booth did not enter into petty discussion of personal affairs and measures of minor importance as is the case with the "politicians", but con fined himself to the leading ques tions of the day questions of vital importance to every voter in this country. Among the hutidred-and-one good things that he said was the remark that it was of little con sequence whether or not he was elected, but that the principles of the party which had honored him with a nomination should be up held no matter what the cost. Mr. Booth had no harsh word for his opponent, aud did not put in his time calling upon the audience to support him whether they did any one else or not. His speech was purely on the great issues of the countrv. and he handled ever)- sub ject upon which he touched in a masterly and scholarly manner. In the audience were many ladies, the majority of whom gathered early, showing at once the interest taken by the keepers of the homes of this great country. If "crc 's a man in Oregon today who is ap preciated more than another by the men who are in his employ that man is R. A. Booth, and the demonstration the Saginaw boys gave him last night at the close of his remarks was one that would make any-man proud. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. L. Gilstrap is the republican nomiuee for county treasurer. Mr. Gilstrap is a veteran of the civil war and as far as wc are informed the only old soldier on cither ticket He is a practical book keeper -aud well qualified to fill the office. He has raised a large family of boys, four of whom are voters, and all highly respected citizens. He is book keeper for the Springfield Lumber Co., which proves his efficiency in this line. Should he be elected he will not have to call in assistance every few months to straighten up the books. His sons are publishers and proprietors of the Register, but this should not be held against him. Junction Times Eugene Bond, republican candi date for county school superin tendent is one of the best known educational men in the county. He is a young man self made. He has worked hard all his life educating himself through the efforts of his manual labor. He is a successful school teacher, and is thoroughly capable of filling the office. Vote for him! If you will stop "and think a moment, and recall the condition-of affairs your own included four years ago, with the condition of affairs your own included now it will not take you long to decide which way you will vote next June and November. If you consult your own and your country's good you will vote a straight, republican ticket. Era Lee, who is out for re election to the office of county clerk at the hands of the republi can party, needs no recommenda tion at the hand of the press of this state. A thorough office man, a man of the best of habits aud al ways at his post of duty. This is his record and is sufficient to re elect any man. Attorney L. T. Harris, the re publican nominee for reprtsenta tive for Lane county, who has so ably seconded Prosecuting Attor ney Geo. M. Brown in his very thorough work in this district for the past two terms, will be elected to the legislature by the largest vote cast in the history of Lane county. There is only one nun in Line county who has made as good an assessor as the present incumbent of that office and that's Burtoi know 'i-u? !i2 is our next assessor, by the grace of the good vote of the people of Lane county who look to a man's office ability as well as his politics. LUKCi STORE. Always a Full Stock. Cottage Grove Oregon. Do you want to take chances on having things as they were four years ago? then vote next June for the citizens ticket. Are you satisfied with the present condition of affairs as compared with the prevailing .conditions four VMrc w ........ ago? then vote the republican ticket, next June. No man who knows 0. F. Knox will doubt his ability to fill the office of county judge in a fair and impartial manner no more than they would doubt his houestv. Capable and concientious men are the ones we should elect to the various offices within the power of the voters to bequeath. BEPUBUCAH TICKET- C0N0K1SSS10NAI.. rSTH03ktirT0NGUl?, Wash ington County.
