rHi.NKVju.it, Oregon, Marcho, 1908.
To the People of Crook County: llccaute

coiy of the Madras Pioneer and Iwcause
I with to make my oiItloti plain to the
twople of the county I hae written the
following article, which are the exact
facta In t,be case a I ee them.
Crook county I naturally divided Into
thice separate part, the eastern and
southern, or Mock raising dlitrlct: the
wct central, or the great irrigated dl
trlct, and the north central, which la
primari!) devoted to grain rstaltiK.
I believe that every thinking matt will
agree that nothing would be more fair
than that each of these dlitrlcta ahould
have a representative In the next county
court The Irrigated district already
has Ita representative in Commissioner
Ilaylcy, of I.aldlaw; the alock raising
district will undoubtly be represented
by Mr. Hice of Hay Creek, (as there
aecma to be no opposition to him). Mow
la It not just and fair to every one that
the county judgeship ahould go to the
great grain railing district around
Madras.
Immediately after I announced, my
candidacy for the office of county scliool
superintendent some of my friends came
to me and triad to get me to withdraw
from mv candidacy lor that position and
announce myself a candidate for the
office of county Juiyje. This I positively
refused to do. Uuring the three weeks
following I was importuned, by many
people from nearly all pari of the
county to rake the change a tated
abotctstllll refused: but when It be
came apparrul that the people from
Lamotita, CuUer and my home precinct
(Kutcher) were desirous tliat I come out

Mr. Iillloj Is to say the least an in
dication of bad faith. The Pioneer
article Is a strong presentation of
the facts In the ense, and' Mr.
Hlatichard will have difficult work
to disprove them. The meat of the
article is condensed In the following
extracts:
"After announcing himself for
one office, to withdraw and come
out for another, not only makes It
anncar that he is a 'miscellaneous
candidate,' but there is an clement
of bad faith Involved In the tran
saction that twill and should operate
against him." -'

behalf for superintendent of nchools

Madraa during which time I met leas than
half a dozen men who were opposed to
my making the change, while almost all

that I should announce myself a candi

It was only after finding out the
wishes of the people of tuy home precinct
and finding that there would t 110 com

to withdraw from my candidacy for

J, 1', niANCUARl).
The article that appeared in the
Madras Pioneer, in answer to which
the above letter has been written,
critlciied Mr. Ulauchard iu no un
certain terms for his "flop" in the
race for county office. The Pioneer
said that the change had becu vig
orously opposed by Mr. Dlauchard's
friends in that section, and main
tained that It was not only "ill-
advised but ill-timed as well." The
Pioneer points out that Mr. Dlau
chard has shown bad faith in
switching nbout for the reason that
he had usked for the county super
Intendency and was receiving the
unanimous support of that section:
and Mr. Ellis had been prevailed
upon to ruu for couuty judge only
after haviug been assured that he
would have the support of the
Madrrts section. The Pioneer as
serts that for Mr, "Blancllard to
abandon the superintendehcy an
office which Northern Crook very
much desiredand inject at! cle-
trr the race for the more attractive
office of county judge."
"That Mr. Blanchard should
now seek to intcrooe an objection
to his (Mr. Ellis') candidacy, say
intr in effect. 'You were supporting
me for county superintendent of
schools but I have decided that I
want to be judge, and want you
to transfer your support from Mr
Ellis to me,' to say the least pre
sents a most selfish attitude on Mr
Ulanchard's part."
"He has forfeited all claim to the
support of his friends iu this sec
tion, nnd for that situatiou he has
no one to blame but himself."
Let us examine Mrt Blanchard's
letter. His entire argument is cov
ered by two points, namely, that
Northern Crook should, he repre
sented in the county court, and that
his "flop" was due to the impor
tunities of Northern Crook friends.
He lays much stress on the argu
ment (hat each section of the coun
ty should have a representative in
the county court. It Is pertincnUo
ask how long has that been consid
ered desirable? Up to within two
vcars nco the county court was
comnosed. vear in and year out, of
men from only one section of the
county. And as far as Mr. Blan
chard's argument is concerned it is
rendered null and void by the well
known fact that Mr. tills Is a
broad-minded man and will treat
all sections of the county with fair
ness and will conduct an impartial
administration.
Furthermore, Mr. Blanchard
must be grossly misinformed about
the desire of his friends. People
returning from the Madras section
report that the voters arc incensed
nt Mr. Blanchard's vacillating pol
icy, and that be will poll but a
small vote in that section. This
sentiment was found so strong as
to be well-nigh unanimous. Jt is
the confident belief of everyone that
Mr. Blanchard has killed himself
politically by his flop. People do
not know where he will be found
by the time the primaries arrive.
In the minds of the people there
is a strong suspicion and that sus
picion Is that Mr, Blanchard's flop
was due not to the desire of fiiends
iu and about Madras but rather to
the importunities of the Prineville
politicians. These politicians have
threatened to defeat Mr. Ellis, and
Blanchard is their ready tool. That
is the suspicion that is lurking in
the minds of the voters.
Whom do the people want for
county judge a man who an
nounces himself for au office and
then sticks to that announcement,
or one who flops about, first alter
one office then after another?

An enthusiastic mass meeting
was held at Prineville last Saturdav
evening to set the ball a-rnlling iu
the work of building a railroad in
to Central OrcAn. C. N. Ehrei
of Redmond seems to be the mov
ing aplrit behind this undertaking,
and he was in attendance at the
Prineville meeting.
The plan Is for tbepcopleof Cen
tral Oregon to raise a considerable
sum of money and contribute it to
the Portland ,x Eugene & Eastern
Railroad Company on the condition
that tue company extend lis line
Irom Eugene up the McKenzie
river aud over the Cascades to tln
scction While present plans are
in a rather embryonic state, it is
ccnerally considered that the plans
contemplate building the line over
the mountains to Keomonu ana
Bend with the terminus at Prine
ville. Prineville people hare naturally
fallen in with this plan and their
men of money agree to raise $ioo,
000, or even more, in case assur
ancc can be given that the line will
be built.
The Bulletin phoned Mr. Ehrcl
at Redmond for particulars In re
gard to this story, but be said that
the matter was not yet far enough
developed to warrant saying much
about It. He stated, however, that
he was working on such a project
as here outlined.
