The Primary Catapaign Cake or Fulton Which? It will be well for republicans to A E. VOORHIES, Pbopk Dost Oregon, a soconu-clast mail matter FRIDAY APRIL lo, 1908. The fact that "Fighting" Tom Watson of Georgia, wai again nomi nated by tlie popullHt national con vention 'held at St. Louis, does not innlcate, seriously, that Tom will ever be president of tbe United States. The little city of Eugeue is felicitat ing over the fact that Punt master Page bag just been authorized by the de partment at Washington to advertise for bids for the construction of their new postoffloe building. And then Eugene is to have splendid new de put which is now in process of erec tion. Lids off to sinter Eueene, in recognition of ber healthy growth nd general business activity. And Roaeburg Is to bare a new twelve tboosand dollar fruit and vegetable canning factory. This re markable building activity goes to show that while the financial flurry was felt more or leas seriously "all over the country, it never touched ns of Southern Oregon. The general de velopment now going on throughout this section was never more pro nounced and substantial. The prosecution of Mayor Scbmitx, Reef, et al., the San Franoisoo grafters, is another pretext for saying that "the people were caught coming and going," for, beaides the millions eitorted from the public which resulted in these salts, the protean tlon baa cost tbe oity of Ban Franoisoo nd county nearly a million dollars. Prosaouting Attorney Ueney'a fee will mount to about fifty thonaand dollars. while the securing of indictments will reach close to one hundred thonaand dollars.

It would also be appreciated by the strangers who visit our oity for a few days or few weeks, besides impress lug them with the fact that Grant Pass is live, up-to-date little citv. Moreover, the street will have to be named, the houses numtiered and the names of streets planed conapira ouely at proper corners before the postal department will grant free mall delivery, another modern convenience which Utauta Pans should soon en- Jy- TREND OF THE TIMES. The result of laal Tuesday's muni cipal eltK'tlone In Ihoae elates where spring elm-nous were held and where local optlnu is enjoyed, are thoroughly indicative of the trend of the t linen and portend victory for the tamper m cause all over the futility. Take it in llllnola for instance, there twenty counties having si loom, which will be dry the coming year. This tin ana that at Iraat fifteen hundred saloons will be out of biuiucss in the ".Sinker Stale" during the next twelvemonths. The Maine in true of Nebraska. Omaha and some of the larger towns of course, will remain Wet, but ont lu the rural districts ti e temperance cna made wonder ful gain at hiHt Tuesday's elictloii. In view of this splendid advance in civic rlghloousnt -w and the suppress ion of the liquor traflto throughout thk count v the duty of tbe electors of Joxephiue county at licit June's elec tion should U- plain, anil ait it apeara ' at Una tune, there Is yttlo doubt but the a-iloon must go out i.r business hi (inula 1'nss and Jokcpbinp County. study, carefully and well, the peculiar situation confronting them In the selection of a candidate for United States Senator at the April primary. The candidacy of Gov. Chamberlain on the Cake platform, adds new com plications to the situation. If the three were to race for the June elec tion, It would certainly add material strength to Mr. Fulton, as both Mr. Cake and Mr. Chamberlain are com mitted to Statement No. 1, or the election of seuator by direct vote of the 'people, while Mr. Fulton is on record as opposing it. But at the April primary, either Mr. Fulton or Mr. Cake must step aside. We have studied tbe situation carefully and draw the following conclusions: 1st. Should Mr. Cake receive the Republican nomination, it will place Mr. Chamberlain "between the devil and the deep sea" without platform to stand on, he having voluntarily as sumed a non-partisan, bappy-go-lucky gait,golng tbe whole hog on Statement No. 1 and telling his Democratic brethren be recently loved so well that he has become infatuated "with most of the Roosevelt policies" until after the June election after which time the probationary state will oeaHe and be again permitted to exorcise his oonacieoce by voting for demo cratic measures in the senate, if elected. 3. That as Mr. Cake has firmly stood for, and manfully defended Statement No. 1, for the past two years there would be no just cause for re publications to prefer new convert from the democrat lo ranks on this question to the exclusion of all other queitolns of vital Importance to the state and nation wbioli will come up during the senatorial term. 8d. lhat in the .light of past his tory, with legislative holdups, cor rupt use of money to "Influence" senators and representatives, men seeking eleotlon to the legist nre on senatorial years to see the fun; special train rnnnlng with all other corrupting influences in connection therewith, thus bringing shame aud diigraoe on the fair name of onr state, our people will never again return to the old system of election by the legis lature. 4th. That a very large majority of the newspapers in the state are first, last and all the time in favor of the people electing seuator. 6tb. That nearly every grange lo the state bat declared by resolution they will not support candidate for the legislature who are opposed to eleotlon bytbe people. fith. That it is repnblicsn measure passed by republican legis lature. 7th. Nearly every candidate that has announced for the legislature hai snbicrlbed to Statement No. 1, at leist in modified form, and those who failed had to come back and take their uiedl- clue. 8th. With 80,000 republican ma jority behind Mr. Cake, would it be possible for Mr. Chabtuerlaiu to juino sideways into the United States senate b'y using a little soft soap on weak-kneed republicans We thiuk not. tth - Should Mr. Ful'ou be nomi nated, the conditions would be en tirely reversed, thus placing Fulton on the defensive Instead of Chamberlain, which would at least greatly reduce he Kebuplican uiajoiity. Iu view of these facta as we , thi ui. we must say Unit to our minds, the safest, annul and tiest thing for republicans lo is to voto for Mr. Take for I'uited States senator. Ctirvalli aette started them.. One was tried by him and lost. Three were tried and won, but in two of these he had the assist ance of asam iate counsel, while five civil cases are still undisposed of. What chiefly interests the publio at this particular time is Mr. Newbury's experience and qualifications in the practice of criminal law. Daring the Ave years of his practice he has appeared in but 13 criminal matters, six of these be lost, and five of them be has won, and tbe twelfth his client was tent to the asylum. Tbe five cases won were of minor importance as shown by the records. During: all of hit practice, Mr. Newbury hat never prosecuted sin gle criminal case, never drew i ngle indictment and be it absolutely with out experience along the Hue in wbich he seeks to serve the publio. From thlt it would appear that in criminal prosecutions and practice Mr. Newbury's experience it as meagre and limited as that of any at tbe bar in this district Experience and ability constitute tbe issue raised bj Mr. Newbury in bis challenge through tbe press of some days ago. In point of exper ieuce Mr. Newbury can plead but small advantage. In point of general qualifications, natural ability and aptitude for the position to which each aspires, I leave this to the judg ment of the republican voters to de cide. From boyhood I have made thorough study of constitutional law nd the history of jurisprudence. was always trusted by my friends and colleagues In the Oregon senate to uphold principle of law and bave been the people's champion of some good measure there measures that have met realization in enactment into law and subsequent benefit to the state. I Invite a careful sorutiny of this record. Further : I hereby most respectfully challenge Mr. Newbury to two joint publio discussions to be held at Grants Pass and Medford before the primary election, April 17th, tht sub ject of the debate to be of hit own choosing and confined to question! that have arisen or may arise oat of the administration of the office of dis trict attorney. Very respectfully. B. F. MULKEY. To tht voters of Josephine county By mistake statement No. I was left off the ballot opposite O. S. Good- nowt name for state senator and W L.

H- h t-v 'Mr. N .1 v To tbe voters of the first judioial district: My oppooeut for the offloe of district attorney, Prof. B. F. Mul key, would have the poblio believe that I had made an attack upon him through the press iu this district. Let it be known that in no communi cation that I have ever made did I nientioo Mr. Mulkey't name or al lude to him in any way. If he has professional oorus aud I Inadvertently trod upon them, I can certaluly not be blamed for his having the corns. Mr. Mulkey, in a long article de vote uj nob attention to my profes sional success and labors to fast die credit upon it. But he iKiints to only one civil case that I have lost at the Jicksin County 1 ar, and finds by the recorus that I bavo acquitted 80 per cent of the criminal cases that I have fended, and this record attained against so vigorous a prosecutor as A. K. Rcan-es. Now that he has 1 t it be known that I have hud some 75 fifes iu the Jackron County courts and lost but one civil suit and ouly U criminal cafes land the district attcrniy never tiles an indict incut against a mnu unless he thinks he has a "cinch" against huu, the public would like to know Imw many esses Mr. Mulkey has had in the co'ntts of the first judicial district or in any otner conits of the state it Oregon. I'l a laid advertisement in i.OIt. land Ir'geui.u he, tt.,. il, i... "practiced for a time iu county."

It ought to le very es-y to Kef the c r titicate from tl. clerk. Wl v nut get It, Mr. Mulkev? Si'-oe Mr. Mulkey is hauling some joiie else s professional record into the I'tess. why not let the 1, t the people i know ofjlns own record as a lawyer? The taxpayers of this district would like to know and have a light to know wlieth. r Mr. Mulkey ever tried a ca-e in bis life and where. StanJ up and tell them. Now in that joint discussion which you propose why not take for the anb ject "The rases B. F. Mulkey has tried in the court of Oregon. " " By taking this subject the people might not be bored so long in the argutneut. I de.iie further to state, that everT j criminal case iluit I have tried in"- iiiiwijom a penalty which would r ue i u,i ; s,. it the ace, sed to the bad be been convioted, and according to Mr. Mulkey' own statement I saved one-balf of them from convic tion, a professional record which I am not ashamed of. I deaire to state that it was not my purpose to break into print and I should not nave done so, but for Mr. Mulkey't diplomatic attack and this is my only apology to offfer for this article. Mr. Mulkey alludes to bis service in the Oregon senate and would bave the people believe that this should fit him for district attor ney, but I can point to a dozen men in Jackson and Josephine counties who bave served in the Oregon legislature, no one of whom would presume that this qualified him for district attor ney.
