T he Sunday
Portland Daily
O regonian gave Cottage Grove
and local poultry fanciers the fol
lowing editorial notice,
which
should lie appreciated by every
citizen of the town, aud by the
poultrym en in p articu la r
“ Cottage ( ‘.rove will before long
be the Petalum a of Oregou. More
Ilian two-score |>eople are eugaged
in raising thoroughbred poultry up
there, and the way they capture
the blue ribbons at the shows is
anything but gratifying to com
petitors."
Now we know how you Socialists
often feel. Shake!
T hursday will be “ Booster Day*
in Cottage Grove.
T here are tricks in all trades— as
well as in |s>litics.
Now for a big boost altogether
FARCICAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION. for Nesm ith county.
If there is anything Cottage
Grove needs more than another, it
is a modern, system atic method of
voting, or conducting its m unicipal
elections. T he same old election
customs, rules and regulations are
in vogue today which were ushered
in with the creation of this m unici
pality years ago, and it is too re
diculous to lie am using to watch
the proceedings incident to a city
electiou in this city. T he farcical
conventions, with voters participat
ing in their proceedings from every
town, m ining and timlier cam p in
the neighborhood. “ O fficial" tic k
ets altered at the last moment;
nom inations m ade by citizens in
convention for the respective city
officers, ignored by the ring and
new nam es substituted ou the b al
lot without any declaration or an
nouncement of independent move
ments. Miners, millmen, loggers
and non-property holders imported
on election day to participate in
the m unicipal contests, and voted
indiscrim inately, their tickets be
ing m ade out ill private offices of
the ring candidates; taken from
their pockets by respective voters
and deposited ill the ballot liox in
the very presence of election offi
cers and citizens. All m anners of
trickery and corruption practiced
with im punity and brazen effront
ery. T he corrupt practice law
violated and the city charter over
ridden, it being especially set forth
in the Cottage Grove city charter,
th at its m unicipal elections SHAM,
conform and be governed as near
ly as possible to and by the laws
regulating the state and county
elections. W hat a m iserable farce!
T he Leader suspicious strongly
th at if the election of yesterday
were taken into the courts it would
be promptly held null and void.
How long will respective, law-
abiding citizens tolerate this kind
of thing? W ake up!
ABOUT THE SAME HERE.
T he Springfield
news says;
"T o our know ledge there are but
three members of the local Com
m ercial club who are subscribers
to the News. T here are also 13
business men on Main street who
do not care enough about the e x
istence of their local paper or who
are not interested enough in the
local happenings to spend a dollar
for a years subscription. Is it to
be wondered at th a t these same
men are not altogether a success in
the business world? Men who are
too cheap to spend a few shekels
with the local printer cauuot e x
pect to be successful in business.

your town would lie w ithout a
paper? T hink it over.

It is in order for the farmers,

their work now. T h e city election
