IiarfT PAOKS PS mm Absolutely Pure Tho only baking powder made from Royal Crapo Croatn of Tartar HoAIo, No Una Phosphate B01RMAN IS AFTER (Continued from first page) Ject with a view of correcting some of your errors and omissions, you did not have sufficient Interest In the wel fare and development of this state to accompany the party or to urge upon the members the merits of our only eligible reclamation project You have d.evcjgd youv time to enn'jj. goIfanT otle r"paa times, while out merchants have been denied their rea sonable portion of contracts for gov ernment supplies. Yet you presume to dictate "trTheeopTe of Oregon as to whether or not they shall support me, .. , Man of Many Parties. In thia Interview you say: "All ad mire the courage of the man who goes down to defeat fighting for the princi ples in which he believes, but spurn with contempt the man who changes political creeds for the sake of vic tory," and "Chameleons and trucklers change their colors, but men of con viction fight for their principles to the death." Concerning some of thes.e statements, tbere is no better author ity in tn'e state than yourself, fo within the memory of young men you have been a Democrat, a Republican, a Populist, a non-partisan and all the time a demagogue. It is manifestly apparent to all that you are no more a republican today than you were in 1896, when you un dertone by treachery to use the office of secretary of the Republican State Central Committee to asBist .In elect ing Mr. Bryan president of the United States. It Is also manifestly true that you are in league, and for some time have been working in complete harmony, politically and otherwise with your Democratic colleague, Sen ator Chamberlain, and his protege and legatee, the Democratic nominee tor governor of this state. While you prate about reform and the good of the people, you expect to use the of J'ce of governor of this state, if it can be placed in the hands of Mr. West, for the purpose of returning you to the senate of the United States and to perpetrate a further outraga upon the people of Uie country, ana by your own piacuct-a, wuiu are ve.l known to our citizens; which practices were instigated and contributed to by yourself, and your associates, and yet you know, and the record of this state will prove . conclusively, that I- have never at any time favored or under taken such a course. You !tnow that I voted for you in 1907, because the people of the district 1 represented gave you their votes, and that I (lid this notwithstanding the fact that I held you in the utmost contempt, both as a man and as a public official. I told you when you asked me whether I would support you, that I expected to do so solely upon the ground that ,my constituents had expressed a de- ieire to have you represent them, and when I cast the vote for you I wanted you distinctly to understand it was the vote of the people of Gilliam, jWheeler and Sherman counties, and 'not my personal choice. In 1904, when I was first a candidate for the office of State Senator, I promised the peo ple of my district tnat I would vote for that man for United States Sena tor whom I believed they would wish me to. This was before the direct primary law was adopted or even of court the other partner In tbU political eompaot expects at the end of his term to be rewarded by ra-olee-thm. You ieatre to convey to the peo ple of thU slat (he false Impression that 1 have aoujttit t return to the old system of electing United 8tate Senators, and by the old system I refer to that method made damnable drawn. Statement No. 1 was at that time unheard of, and your own un savory reputation was so apparent and notorious that I did not xpwt that I would be compelled to vote for you; nevertheless, when by the use of money and artifice you did carry the district I represented. ! east the vote Intrusted to me lor you. In 190S 1 was again a candidate for the office of senator, and I again promised the people of those counties that I would cast their vote for United States Sen ator for the man chosen by them. Mr. Cake carried each of the three coun ties I represent, and In fulfillment of that promise. In 1909, I voted for Mr. H. M. Cake. I wish to call your attention to the further fact that in the recent pri mary I did not only receive more votes than you did when you were a candidate for United States Senator, but that the plurality given to me was nearly four times as large as yours. As soon as you were nominated in 1908 you cried for party harmony and the support of the united party. I not only gave you my vote In 1997, but bowed to the will of the people as to your "etection and successfully sup ported the man for president of the senate whom you desired; you claim ed that unless your candidate for president of the senate was elected, tho will of the Deonle would be thwarted and you would be defeated. Since your election I have asked you for nothing and do not ever expect to ask or receive at your hand any favot oTlrfesT. olficTal or otherwise. Even the courtesy of a letter thanking me for the assistance rendered In bring ing about your election wai not forth coming. I entered the contest under the pri mary law In good faith. I publicly an nounced that I would support the suc cessful candidate and expected my friends and supporters to do likewise. In the primary campaign you used all of your Influence, official and per sonal, to defeat me. After a fair, open contest In which no Improper methods were resorted to by any can didate, to my knowledge. I was suc cessful, and I submit that any man ho has any element of fairness in his makeup, or any desire to do that which is right, will, if he has been defeated In an open political contest, support the successful candidate. A man who has no regard for the obliga tions he owes his party, who is not acauainted with the rudiments of fair play and transgresses all the elements known as manliness by bolting a tick et solely for selfish reasons, is a trai tor to the Interests of the people, an enemy of the direct primary law and is devoid of any characteristics of real leadership. The , difference be tween the venality of yourself and the conduct of the honorable gentle men who opposed me in the primary piep.tinn. is most marked. This con test between myself and tne olher op ponents was devoid of acrimony, per sonalities or. other unpleasant fea tures, and these gentlemen are to day loyally supporting the entire ticket. I believe you are not sincere in your alleged devotion to the primary law. If you are I ask you to an nounce publicly whether or not you will by every means within your power oppose the amendment, change or repeal of the primary law and other laws that have been heretofore or at any time hereafter may be writ-' ten on the statute books by the people. Yours truly, JAY BOWERMAN. Portland, Oregon, Oct. 3, 1910. Reaching the Top in any calling of life, demands a vig orous body and a keen brain. With out health there is no success. But Electric Bitters, is the greatest Health Builder the world has ever known. It compels perfect action of stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, purifies and enriches the blood, tones and Invigor ates the wnole system and enables you to stand the wear and tear of your daily work. "After months of uffering from kidney trouble," writes W. M. Sherman of Cushing, Matn, "three bottles of Electric Bitters made me feel Pke a new- man." 60c at all druggists.

SCIIOOLOFFICERS The annual convention of school of ficers of Polk county mill be held at the court tiouae lu Dallas on next sat urda October IS. at 10:30 a. ui.. Mauy subjects of Importance to the schools of the county will be up for Iscusslon at this time and eery school officer In the county who wishes to build up the school of ' district owes it to the district to at tend this couveution and take what ever part In the discussion that be may wish. The chairman of earn school dis trict Is the deit-KHte provided by l to this couventlou.but if ho cannot at tend he ahould appoint some other member and see that the school board Is represented. In the past several school boards have been attending in a bdy and have paid tiki expenses of all from the compensation allowed the dele gate, Thla la a number I plan and it would be good for the schools or the unty If every school beard would do the same thing. Old Polk count has always led the state In the number of directors and clerks who have attended these conventions and It Is hoped that Polk county will still lead in this matter and also In the results that will come from this and other meetings of the kind In the county and state. Schools all over the state are mov ing forward with a mighty strlde.polk county schools are holding their own with the others, but by united efforts of all school boards and those inter ested In the education of the children of the county, we can go ahead more and more each year. Let every district in the county" b represented at this convention and not only by the chairman of the school board but by the entire school board and also by as many others Interested In the schools as possi ble. IS PROHIBITION A CURSET (Continu?d from first page.! is certain. Every citizen that be lieves in character more than dollars and will think more of the wife and children's welfare than the cravings of his own appetite will seek to elim inate the saloon. Those who are In the throes of the evil business wheth er by habit, political influence or the revenue argument will strongly fight against prohibition. Factious will fol low for a while until the arch enemy -H;he liquor traffic is .utterly defeat ed, when again all will be peace. It is a good sign of true progress when in places where the saloon has had right of way, a fight is on because of prohibition. To oust the evil means fight, and those favoring a dry state are determined to fight and win. ERNEST J. SIAS PLEASES On Monday night, October 10, Er nest J. Sias began the lyceum course under the local management of Messrs. Henkle and Nelson, proprie tors of the Star theater. . While not ' many people attended, due no doubt to a misapprehension of the true nature of Mr. Slas' work, those that did 'come were exceeding ly well pleased. ' Many of them said it was the best they. had ever heard. His subject was "The Lost Chord." He maintained that in all phases of life, the financial, social and moral, the spirit of success is to find the key-note: that Is, to find out where a man belongs, in what channels to conduct his work, how to achieve the best results, etc. He made a great plea for striking the notes of sympa thy and concern for others. Be altru istic, was largely the gist M his ad dress. It Is certainly to be regretted that not all of Independence heard him. His message would have done great good to all.

Army authorities know a gun j that is why, when they decided to equip some troops with repeating shotguns, they selected the Win Chester in preference to all other makes. The experts of the U. S. Ordnance Board also know a gun J that's why, after submitting a Winches ter Repeating Shotgun to all sorts of tests, they pronounced it safe, sure, strong and simple. If you want a shotgun buy the one whoso strength and reliability led tha U. S. Army authorities to select It and tho U. S. Ordnance Board to endorse it that's the Winchester.
