CI I KltR IXUTOX CRITIC 1 1. Dallas, Oregon. Sept. 0, 1912. Polk County Observer, Dallas, Or egon. To the Editor: 1 want to thsnik you for printing my letter of the 31st of August and since you did not criticise the punctuation which you assure your readers you printed as written, I guess you wore satislled with that. I was a little surprised that you took so much space in your valuable columns to discuss me per sonally and to describe me as a "self-culled leader of the other six Hullmoosers of Polk County." Have you stopped to think, Mr. Editor, that you have many readers whom you class with "a conglomerate mass of disappointed office seekers, repu diated office holders, sorehead fte publicans and backsliding Democrats with a few politically honest men scattered here and there" who are actually honest In their opinions and give others credit for being honest even though lliey (liner iroin inern : Of course, there arc many of them who ore supporting Mr, Roosevelt because, he advocates certain princi ples. You say, notwithstanding; the fact that Mr. Roosevelt hasn't a clean thought in his mind, in your opinion, that your paper would have support ed him If the bosses in the Repub lican convention at Chicago hud. told you to. Aren't you glad that you are not suffering from such a handicap so that you can tell some of us who read your paper what a monster Roosevelt really is? It certainly would have been awful to have to suppress the facts that you glibly wrote last week. About that Arch bold matter, maybe J was hasty, but T remembered that this same Arch bold and the rest of his hunch gave "testimony" to the effect that the Standard Oil company was not guilty of giving rebates a few years ago nnd that it was proven to the satis faction of the courts that they lied, or that they did give rebates. Prob ably It was priwumptious, but 1 thought I'd rather take sides with Roosevelt even though Archhold with his record for "sworn testi mony" didn't (piite ugree. You say that there- is nothing to this third-term movement hut Roose velt. ' Why don't you publish the platform of the party and then shoot It to pieces? You say that Roose velt forced his candidacy on the peo ple. 1 wonder what pressure was brought to bear, in all the states having presidential primaries, last spring, to force the voters to give an expression of confidence in The odore Roosevelt and such a poor vote for Mr. Taft. These same vot ers will be voting in November and I assure you there will he as many as "six" in Polk county. 1 don't aspire to be a leader not withstanding your would-be-funny statement and your attempt to hold no' up to ridicule by reference to "Col. Cherrington" as a typical Pro gressive. Didn't you attempt to be nasty when you wrote that "The observer Would have been surprised had he adopted any other faith?" Your readers are not interested In what your paper thinks of Tom Cher rington, they have known him for twenty years longer than you have In tact but they are Interested in a fair discussion of the political issues without dirty personalities. I hope you will do me the favor of publishing this poor atti nipt to meet some of the words of your ready pen and T assure you that I have the most kindly feeling for you and your opinions, though we don't agree. Respectfully VOUI'H, T. .1. ClIKRKINtiToX. As Is usual in controversies of the nature which .Mr. Cherrinnton seeks to continue, the merits of tin- real diseustdou are lost sight of In person alltiiS. The observer's good friend. In the above "reply" to our com ments on his article of a week ago, devotes practically all his communi cation to himself. lint a "Progress ive" has abundant precedent for that position because bis lender makes a specialty of it. Just why Mr. t'loi nnnliui insists in classing himself among the "soreheads" ami the "backsliders" rather than the "few politically honest men'' mentioned as no minis of the Uooscvi It party, is not clear. Our critic is attempting to befoi; the Issue. We believe that the lead ers of the third term organization are men who have alw ays been mal contents in the old political parties When you fee!

It Curs for They have In the past adopted, for the time being, every reform phnn torn and fanciful phantasy advocated bv erratic and Irresponsible politic Ians and It Is but natural that they should (lock to Rooeevelt. Cherrington again brings up that w-ell-worn cry about the "bosses" at the Chicago convention. He takes his cue from his patron saint and in timates that The Observer Is support ing Taft because the "bosses" so di rected. Ve gods and little fishes! Was there ever a more shining ex amnle of bossism than that exhibited by the so-called "Progressive" party? ft Is the home of the old He-Boss, the greatest dictator that the United States ever owned. It Is the home of 1)111 Klinn who says he holds the vote of the Pennsylvania Republi cans In his vest pocket. It is the home of one ileney whom the de frauded landowners of Oregon know to their sorrow; of one Ormsby Mc Harg, whose reputation and methods are also well-known in Oregon, of one Perkins, millionaire trust mag nate and well-known "malefactor of great wealth;" of dozens of other Idg and little dictators who have lost prestige in the old parties and joined the new one In the hope of regaining it. Talk about bosses. Why, the Progressive party wouldn't be a party today without them. When the farcical convention of the insurgents met In Chicago, not a delegate to that convention, knew what the platform of their party was to be. They didn't care. It didn't make any difference to them whether the platform would declare for the annexation of Mexico, and the anni hilation of Canada, the wiping out of the Supreme Court, or ofllclal recog nition of Sunday ball games. The one and only reason for their pres ence was the nomination of a man for a third term as president who had told the American people that, under no circumstances, would he again be a candidate. There never was a more flagrant example of one- man power. Jiisiory snows no inci dent of such complete, overmaster ing ownership. Here were a few malcontents under the absolute dom ination of one man, led by a halter as he willed, ready to desert their old political affiliations, and declare that their former teachings were untrue, forgetting political honor, overriding established tradition, ready to go anywhere, employ any methods, with the one and only aim of following a political demagogue such as this na tion has not seen in recent years at least. But Cherrington should not delude himself with the idea that that progressive convention nominat ed Roosevelt. Oh, no. Roosevelt nominated himself and called his dupes together to ratify it. Bosses, indeed. The Progressive party Is an organization led by bosses who have been repudiated and lost their power In the Republican and Democratic parties. The Observer has been wondering why Cherrington didn't spring that old cry about the "theft of dele gates" in his first article. It is the stock and trade of all Rooseveltians. lie finally grabbed at it, In the above communication however, and recalls the primaries of last spring. .The Observer would like to inquire of Cherrington, if Roosevelt didn't get the votes from the states in which the preferential primaries gave him the delegates. Now, don't cite Wash ington, Tom, for the few primaries held there didn't reflect public opin ion nnd you know it. Don't rant about California because, had the two votes which were cast for Mr. Taft from California went the other way, they wouldn't have been enough to nominate the third-termer. Then, Tom, how about the 2 00 other con tests Instituted by your Incomparable and "honest" leader which were ac knowledged by Roosevelt and his co horts to be entirely unfounded and merely for "effect." Then, again, Tom, didst ever stop to contemplate that preference by Republicans for other Republicans is one thing, nnd following said preference far enough to carry one out of the party In or der to help the political ambition of a disappointed office seeker, Is quite another. In other words, Tommy, don't make the mistake of believing that all the men who voted for the third-termer In the primaries are as willing to forget their past political principles as yourself. They admired Roosevelt while he was a Republican but when he becomes an outcast, and seeks to wreck the organization simply because it wouldn't nominate him for president for a third term, that's "something else again" as Mawrus Peiiutler would say. In proof of this position, Thomas, your distinguished attention is called lo the result of the recent "Pro gressive" primaries in the state of Washington, which has been declared to be a safely ltooeveltian state. In King county, with a voting popula tion of something like 50,001), the party cast about 0,000 votes. In lloqiiiam, with a population of 14. 000. they cast 32 votes, and In Che halis county, one of the active "pro gressive" counties of Washington, the best they could register was 179 votes! tlreal record! Stupendous sweep of sentiment to ward the liullmoosers! Study these ligures, Tom, and con fer with C.eorge and the other live KullmooHers.
