CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION AS STATE
TREASURER
Born in Rhode Island 46 years ago,
Judge Ryan came to Oregon in his
21st year and entered into the employ
of the Brownsville Woolen Mills Co.,
at its factory in Brownsville. The
following year he went to Oregon City,
where he has since resided. He has
been elected as Mayor, City Recorder
and School Director and Clerk of Ore
gon City and for the last seven years
he has been the County Judge of
Clackamas County, in which position
he has proven himself to be an ex
ceptionable business man, paying off
the indebtedness of over $200,000 and
at the same time constructing each
year many miles of good, improved
modern roads, and decreasing the tax
levy each year.
In an interview Judge Ryan says:
"Being neither President, Cashier nor
Stockholder in any Bank, nor agent
nor employe of any money loaning
Institution, I pledge myself to use
and guard the funds of the State in a
strict conformity to the laws of the
State and for the interests of all the
people and not discriminate in favor
of any institution or person. As a
man of the people, independent of
any clique, faction or corporation, I
request the support of all Republicans
in securing this nomination, and if
elected I promise to perform every
duty required of the State Treasurer
in an efficient and economical
manner."

ATTACKED V1TH0UT REASON
Mr. Whitney Says 'Mistaken Idea
Prevails as to Profits of State
Printing Office.
A mistaken idea prevails to some
extent as to the emoluments of the
State Printer and the practical work
ings of the office. It is not the big
'fat office it is accused of being.
In the first place the appropriation
for "printing" conveys a wrong im
pression. The biennial appropriation
is not for printing alone, but includes
also the cost of paper, ruling, election
supplies and many smaller items,
amounting for the biennial period to
about $23,000. The last report of the
Secretary of State to the Legislature
will show these figures to be correct.
Then the State Printer must provide
his own printing plant and pay all
running expenses of the office. The
pay rolls alone for the two years ex
ceed $25,000. The Salem Typographical
Union can bear out the accuracy of
this statement. The cost of material,
a limited amount of work done in out
side Union offices during a rush in
the State Printing Office, rent, power,
inks, and a hundred other expenses,
adds fully $10,000 more. This makes
$58,000 of expenses which the State
Printer does not get.
Thus it will be readily seen that
when the cost of production of the
printing is taken into consideration,
the State Printing Office is not all
profit It is just like any other print
ing business. It costs something to
run it.
Criticism has for years been directed
at the State Printing Officr and it
seems that it still continues. The
present State Printer has been accused
of graft, of dividing the profits of the
office with political bosses, and of a

further division for the use of the
state printing plant. There is abso
lutely no truth in these statements. I
pay $100 per month rental for the
plant and no more, which is con
sidered a reasonable rental. I have a
lease duly signed to this effect, and
there has been no division of the office
with any person.
The fees paid the State Printer are
fixed by law, and every item printed
is measured by an expert printer, ap
pointed by the Governor, whose duty
it is to measure the printing and affix
the amount due as provided bylaw.
Governor Chamberlain appointed to
this position Mr. Albert Tozier, a
Democrat, a practical printer and
secretary of the Oregon Press Associ
ation, whose integrity is unquestioned
and who has measured all printing
done and approved all bills therefor
in strict accordance with law. Every
bill for printing is also carefully
audited by the Secretary of State. Mr.
Dunbar is acknowledged to be one of
the best officers the state has ever bad,
and his auditing stamp of approval is
sufficient guarantee of honest ac
counting. The State Printing Office is a target
of attack without just reason. The
heavy cost of printing in past years
has been chiefly due to the large
number of copies printed. This has
been reduced by law, and the price
now paid by the State for most of the
public printing is not above that
charged by the printing firms of
Portland, and some of it considerably
less. For some classes of work,
especially where a large number of
copies are required to be printed, the
price should be reduced somewhat.
I have given this subject careful
study, and believe there are two
methods by which the cost of
printing could be kept down to a
minimum. One is to limit the volume
of printing and revise the schedule of
prices upon an up-to-date basis, the
same as that of commercial printing
generally. The other is for the State
to own and operate its own printing
plant, and to pay the State Printer a
reasonable flat, flied salary. Either
of these plans, or similar plans along
these lines, which the Legislature
might adopt for the betterment of the
service, would meet my hearty sup
port My Republicanism will be attested
by the people of Linn County, where I
formerly edited the Daily and Weekly
Herald for twenty years.
As a native Oregonlan and a printer
of twecty-flve years' experience, I
have endeavored to conduct the State
Printing Office in a clean, bnsineas
like manner, and as a candidate for a
second term, am willing to stand up
on my record. The books of the office
are open for inspection.

Conceded to Be in Lead in Race for
Republican Nomination for
Secretary of State.
It is the opinion of the many friends
of Frank W. Benson, of Roseburg
that he has all of his competitors
distanced in the race for the Re
publican nomination for Secretary of
State. Not only is it conceded that
practically all of Southern Oregon is
solid for him, but it is also known
that he is developing considerable
strength in Eastern Oregon. From
the fact that he was for a number of
years a resident of Portland and has
many friends in that city there is
little question that he will carry
Multnomah County by a large
majority.
Mr. Benson was born in Santa Clara
County, California, in 1858, and came
to this state in 1864. While a resident
of Portland he was a pupil at the old
Central High School. His father,
H. C. Benson, D. D.t was for four
years editor of the Pacific Christian
Advocate. Id 1880, Mr. Benson moved
to Roseburg, where for eight years he
served in the County Clerk's office,
first as deputy and then as clerk. He
left official life with a clean record,
and has Binoe been eDgaged in the
practice of law. Mr. Benson is by ex
perience well qualified for the office to
which he aspires, and there is little
question that if elected, he will give
the state a clean, economical and effi
cient administration of the office of
Secretary of State.

JUDGE HAYDEN DON'T LIKE IT
Says Direct Primary Will Not Bring
Out Best Men for Office.
J udge Ben Hayden was out on the
street for the first time since his recent
sickness on Thursday and remarked
that he was well, but he had to bo
careful with his eighty-three years
when these Oregon winters developed
blizzard features. .The Judge looks
hale and hearty, however, but he
speaks feelingly of the fact that the
old timers are passing, and that there
aie few of the friends of his youth left
in the two counties where he has had
his habitat for so many years.
"There are very few of the old
fellows loft 'here, and most of them
are bedridden, I say, most of them are
bedridden. They ain't taking much
interest in politics, I reckon, not this
season, I say not this season. How's
things going, anyway? I don't like
this new fangled law. It isn't just to
my notion of a primary law, I say it
ain't accordin' to my notion.
"I want to prophesy that we'll have
a great mix-up at the next legislature,
I say, at the next legislature. This
law wasn't made to help elect the best
men. I want to see a good governor
and a good secretary of state and a
good legislature, but I am afraid of
this law.
"The old timers are out of politics, I
say they are out of politics this year.
If they are all like me they don't know
where they're nt, I say they don't
know where they're at." Salem Statesman.

HUSTON VISITS DALLAS
Congressional Candidate Meets Many
People and Makes Good Im
pression on Voters.
Hon. S. B. Huston, of Hillsboro,
Washington county, has been in Polk
county, a few days, looking after his
fences in the race for the nomination
for Congress.
Mr. Huston is a native of Indiana,
but has been in Oregon for 23 years.
His father was a soldier in Company
G, 18th Indiana Volunteers, and lost
his life in the battle of Stone River.
This left a wife and three children, of
whom Mr. Huston was the oldest, be
ing five years old at the time. As the
family was left in very moderate cir
cumstances, his boyhood was one of
toil on a farm. By hard labor, econ
omy, and the sacrifices of his mother,
he was enabled to get a good educa
tion. Ho worked on farms, in saw
mills and lumber yards, and was for
three years in the employ of the
Santa Fe R. R. Co. Ho and C. II.
Markham, late General Superintend
ent of the Harriman System, were
section hands on the Santa Fe
together.
He afterwards read law, and came
to Oregon in 1883. After working in
a shingle camp, on a farm, in a flour
ing mill, and with a hay-baler about
a year, he settled at Hillsboro and be
gan the practice of law in January,
1884. ne soon came to the front, and
since about 1890 has ranked as one of
the leading lawyers of the State.
ne has served as President of the
State Bar Association, and was a
member of the State Senate from 1892
to 189G. While in the Senate, he was
a warm friend of the Monmouth
school. He is serving bis fourth con
secutive term as school director at
Hillsboro, and in every instance re
ceived every vote that was cast.
He was a Democrat until 189G, but,
as soon as the silver question became
prominent, declared himself for the
gold standard and did what he could
for the cause of sound money. His
speech was one of the four deemed
worthy of publication by the Ore
gonlan. He has consistently sup
ported evo'y Republican ticket since
that time. He has freely gone wher
ever the committee has sent him. and
has never asked or received a cent of
pay, but has always paid his own ex
penses. As a result of his largo business, he
has become independent financially,
and is not after the office for the
salary.
He was married in 1881 to Miss Ella
Geiger, a daughter of Dr. William
Geiger, a pioneer of 1839. They have
three children one daughter at the
State University at Eugene, and two
boys at Pacific University at Forest
Grove. Mrs. Huston accompanies him
on his campaign. While here they
were the guests of Rev. A. C. Bracken
bury, whose wife is a sister of Mrs.
Huston.
Mr. Huston does Dot ride on a pass,
or free transportation of any kind,
but prefers to pay his own way. He
is especially earnest in his support of
the maximum rate law advocated by
President Roosevelt. He is a pleasant
gentleman to meet socially, and made
a good impression here.
