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.
The numberiog ef the houses is
needed in Grant Pass. It wonld
prove a'great oonvsnlenoe to the reel
deals and the business Interests. 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-

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.

District Attorney iu a reo nt ar'icle,
published in the various papers ef tbe
district calls attention lo the numb- r
of cases he has had iu the Circuit
court and by tiiiiiudo draws a contrast
intended unfavorably to affect my can
didacy. Mr. Newbury's record has
Ixvu examined 'at the couuty neat of
this comity at Jacksonville, and i be
following fact revealed: Mr. New
bury claim (10 cavo iu the circuit
court during his practice of five,
years Tins would be an avKra.ce of '
one rase per mouth. Fifty-one; of ,
these cases were civil suits and all of '
small magnitude, and so of which
were simply defaults, such a. divorce '
cases and tbe like, wli.-re no opposing !

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.

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. Very respectfnlly,
GUS N1WBUKY.
