, If the people of tbe State,of Oregon
aotually want the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation Co. for their governor;
then and in that event, let them all
.vote for Jay Bowerman for governor,
W he is one of this railroad's attor
neys, Us first choice for governor, and
'every oondootor and offloial on its
.roads are working tooth and nail for
; him. Many of tbe laboring men on
- this railroad who cannot be forosd in
'to line for Bowerman and who know
that Oswald West is their friend, will
rnot vote for Bowerman. Nearly all
of the big railroad lawyers and other
tblg corporation lawyers in Oregon, are
'working for Bowerman. IleisoDeof

fnM Mi. X7aaf- TTa haa Irtinw'n Mr.
West JJrotn boyhoqd pnd believes he
will 'make a far tetter governor than
, Bowerman, the railroad lawyer, tbe
assemblyite, the man who eta bB the
primary law, dynamites Statement No.
1 and kills the Normal schools. When
the railroad gets busy for a candidate
for covernor. as they are now tcsy for
Bowerman, it is high time for tbe
people to "get wise" and, in this eleo-
, tion, vof,e for Oswald West.
It is well known that a small ooterie
of prejudiced politicians in Pendloton,
composed of about half a dozen "sore
heads," known as the "Furnish Push,"
worked for several months trying to
get a oandidate with whom to defeat
Dr. Smith. They tried Billy Fergu
son of Pendleton, Frank Curl, Thom
as Thompson, Asa Thompson, W. L.
; Thompson,, Tom Morris, pi, Cole, Dr.
Vincent and others, but eaoh of these
men knew too well the strength of Dr.
Smith, bis splendid ability and qual
ifications, his wide popularity as a
clean, upright, manly man ; bis high
standing with tbe people of Umatilla
county; bis faultless reoord io tbe
State Senate; his triumph over his
enemies at all times heretofore, and
eaoh of them said: "Nay, verily, Mr.
Furnish; not for me." Then, as a
last resort, they persuaded J. N. Bur
gess, an assemblyite, a tool of "high
er ops," to make the race. Now who
is Burgess? How many people in
Umatilla county ever saw him? He
oame here two or three, years ago and
identified himself with a 'sheep ranch
in the sent hern part of the . county.
VeryJow people know rhim;' He was
never known to take any interest in
putlio education, good roads, public
improvements, nor in anything else
except his sheep ranch. Although
there are many bright young repub
licans in Umatilla county, he has im
ported from Portland 'or elsewhere a
campaign manager by tbe name of
Orton E. Goodwin, who writes "dope"
for him in tbe Pendleton "Live Wire."
To elect him , State Senator . over f Dr.
Smith would., be a politioal. calamity.
Every voter, regardless of politioal or
religions affiliations, who is in favor
of good sohools; good moral conditions,
goodjmblio improvements, able rep
resentatives Jin our legislative halls,
should vote '-for Dr.. Smith; should
work for bim openly and aboveboard,
an 3 return him to the State Senate by
more than a thousand majority. To
plaoe Burgess in Smith's place as a
senator would be like trying to fill a
barrel with a mustard seed or to make
a mountain out of a molehill.
' Ben Hill, of Pendleton, a bright,
clean, moral, upright man one in
favor, of the. direct primary law,
Statement No. .1, and who is unalter
ably opposed to the assembly idea is
making a brilliant race for jcint rep
resentative tor Umatilla and Motrow
oounties. His opponent is T. J. Ma
hoey who was endorsed by tbe assem
bly and who went to Portland and
sought the assembly nomination. Ma
honey is a Heppner banker who went
as a delegate to the assembly to boost
for Jay Bowerman for governor. He
has always been opposed to Statement
No. 1 and the direot primary law;
and to make it all the worse for Mabo
ney, he .voted for that infamous Bean-
Brooke bill in tbe last legislature to
make it a crime for any - man to sub
scribe to Statement No. 1. Any be
liever in Statement No. 1 who votes
for Maboney, votes for bis enemy end
for the enemy of tbe people of this
state. Candidates of bis small and
pincbed oalibre who try to make it a
crime to subsoribe to Statement No 1.
deserve no recognition from tbe
friends of popular government. Ben
Hill is a different man; he stands
squarely for Statement No 1. and the
lawslof tbe people and is a highly edu
cated, able, clean man.
Dr. M. K. Hall, demooratio candi
date for joint senator for Umatilla,
Union and Morrow oounties, was
mayor of La Grande during tbe two
years preooding March last, and dur
ing that time the people installed a
new gravity water system costing
1160,000 adopted all the preliminaries,'
bond election, etc, and commenced
the oonstrnotion of a complete sewer
system that will cost about $250,000
as well as street improvements con
sisting of twelve blooks of bitulithio
pavement and about three miles of
maoadam. Dr. Hall is a wideawake,
progressive business man, ever on the
alert for the good of his own commun
ity, and if eleoted will look well to
the interests of Jbe citizens of these
three oounties.
Anew triangular debating league
has been formed between Stanford
University and the Universities of
Oregon and Washington. It is tbe
opinion of tbe 'varsity men that this
new debating league will bring the
Coast institutions into muoh closer re
latons. For several years Oregon has
had practically no intercourse with
the California Universities, her rela
tions being oonflned to tbe nnrtLwest
colleges and to Utah.
A Good Positron
Can be had by ambitious young men
and ladies in the field of "Wireless"
or Railway telegraphy. Since the
8-bour law became effective, and since
the Wireless companies are establish
ing stations throughout tbe country
there is a great shortage of telegraph
ers. Positions pay beginners from $70
to $90 per month, with good ohanae
of advancement. The National Tele
graph Institute of Portland, Ore., op
erates six official institutes in America
under supervision of R. R. and Wire
less officials and places all graduates
inoo positions. It will pay you to
write them for full details.
