Prohtil)lv the majority *d‘ the
voters of tins county were last
week insulted l»y flic receipt
tliroui;li tlie uiaiJs of a pamphlet
called the Anti (JrafttT, same lie-
ini' |!iihlis!iei| at Dsvvcgo, Oregon
and hearing the name of V. F.
< ’oopcr as puldislier.
'I'llis disgraceful specimen of
the printer’s art, eauie about as
near representing the ravine's of
a deranged mind, as anything that
lias conn* 1o our altofition in re­
cent years.
We were, however pleased to
note that is is maiidliugly sup­
porting Walter A. Dimirk for
State Senator, for it should cer­
tainly result in his receiving few
votes from thinking, fair-minded
taxpayers.
If the balance of tin* rot eman­
ating from the pen of Mr. <\>opn
1 * as truthful as his “ facts' * 'con­
cerning the Portland Railway
Light & Power Company and tin*
question of county division, no
harm can he done-except to those
whom lie is championing.
We have always understood
that V. F. Cooper was incapaci­
tated by the loss of his sight and
■ ■,a
'ive' are truly sorry to learn
that his mental department is
slowly tottering.
The Honorable (?) Walter A.
Dimiek ill his advert iseineiil which
appeared in local papers last
week says in part: ’ “County Divi
sion is sought by a few men in Es-
laeada who want public other and
have never been able to get il.
and had they been elected two
\cars ago vou would never have
heard anything about Cnuirly Di­
vision.
It was just such a malicious
statement as the above, along, w iMi
a lew dozen others that Mr. Dim­
iek harangued the last legislature
with, knowing that hy the ruling
nl the 'senate, no other speaker
could refute the statements.
Mr. Dimiek seems «to have for
gotten that ( ’minty Division niiue
up lirst in the year PH ’J, being
about lour years prior to the
election of r u e
Mr Dimiek also must imagine
that Kstae.nl.i s business men are
starving 01 close to that point,
supposing ill \ are wanting others
that pay from .+2 to $3 per day,
when the satin men are now earn
iug in then respective businesses
from $2,500 to +7,.’>00 per year
Eastern Clackamas did want
•ud always has wanted an able
representative in tin* Clackamas
County Court and has one or (wo
men, who for tin good* of Oils
portion of the county, would have
served m that important body, if
they eould have hern elected.
Eastern t lackamas is lighting
for- a principle and for ivpivs. 1
tation ami not for political honors
nor tlii 1 inoiiey emanating from
such jobs, hut vve doubt if Mr.
Dimiek can comprehend sm h

Last week the Oregon City Com­
mercial Club, that metropolitan
organization which takes upon it
self the responsibility of trying to
run this rural county, appointed a
committee to investigate the sen­
timents of all senatorial and legis­
lative candidates, as they may
pertain to county division.
Apparently this investigation is
being made for fear some honest
man, broad-minded enough to
realize that there is merit on both
sides of a question, might receive
an anti divisionist vote.
The county seaters arc making
county-division tin* only issue in
the campaign for legislative can­
didates, despite the fact that they
know this important question will
be left *0 a vote of the people at
the next general election.
Hut to make dead sure that the
taxpayers of this portion of the
county are not represented in the
next legislature, the Pulpy C it y ’s
commercial body appointed the
following representative citizens
of a rural county, W. A. Huntley,
Oregon City druggist; L. A. Mor­
ris, Oregon City dentist and Livy*
Stipp, Oregon City attorney and
polit ieian.
So the voters can readily see
wluit a fair chance there is of any
any honest, broad-minded mail be­
ing nominated if the city ’s “ heavy
taxpayers” can help it.
( 'lackamas is certainly an ideal
rural county, populated and sup­
ported by hardworking farmers
and run largely hy a bunch of
Oregon City shop keepers, at tor-,.
1 leys and politicians.
And still they wonder why any­
one should believe that -maybe
this county would he better oH il
divided.

While some of our Oregon City,
ant i Cascade County neighbors
do not seem to have a high regard
for our ability to raise and ex­
pend our taxes and eonduet a
county of our own, they have no
hesitation in allowing us to raise
our own share of the county s
qnAtn of Liberty Ponds and Red
Cross moneys.
Hut believe us,
we.can make just as good a show­
ing at the formal’ as the latter! •
According to a government no­
tification, the registration of the
