WES CONDON I ROUSING RECEPTION FOR DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANT Immense Crowd Extend Wishes (or His Success-Takes Rap at Perpetrator of Grain Rate Fraud Explains Stand in Regard to School Lands of Oregon. When Oswald Wesb, Democrat ic Candidate for Governor, arriv ed in Condon he was greeted at the depot by the Condon band and one of the largest crowds of cithtena ever gathered in Con don to meet a candidate for office. Wheeler Count citizens drove twenty miles to hear West fa Condon. At 7.S0 the Court House was packed with people and at eight o'clock the aisles were crowded and the doors jammed with men. The meeting was called to order and Demo cratic County Chairman D. J. Kavanagh, before introducing the speaker, made a few pre liminary remarks and then in troduced Mr. West as the next governor of Oregon. The house then rang With cheers. Before Mr. West launched into the Is sues of the campaigu he declar ed that he was not there for the purpose of telling the - people of Condon why they should not vote for Mr. Bowerman but rather for the purpose of telling r them why they sh ould vote for Oswald West He then declared that he was in favor of the di rect primary and statement one, the initiative and , referendum and the corupt practice act; That this campaign is of a greater importance to the people of Ore gon than any that has ever been before its citizens. It is a question of people rule or the servants of the corporation rule. He said that he was standing . upon . his record as a servant of the people of Oregon: that he had fought graft and thieves J. J.'.' Johnson, the past lecturer I of the Oregon State Grange, re turned to Portland on Monday after visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. - J. Quinn of May ville and Mr. E. M. Clymer of Fossil. On Friday he delivered an address at the May ville Fair on the subject "The Grange. Its Principles and Work." Mr. Johnson is a most excellent speaker , and the thoughts he presented along the lines of his subject were most favorably re ceived by a larae audience. He also attended the meeting of the Mayville Grange on Saturday. . The board of Trustees of the Athletic Club held a meeting on Sunday afternoon for the first time in several months and de cided to' immediately put the gymnasium in shape as usual for the winter months. The appar atus is all in good condition and ready for work with the excep' 'Jtion of the shower bath which ivl- will be fixed in the near future. J.'E. Schroeder and Jas. Smith wer? appointed to Ifill vacancies onlhe Board. The general elec 'tion'iir beheld W Tuesday 'evening, October 25th at which ever Bince he had been in . office, and that he is now attacked by a lot of men who are opposed to him because he is working for the best interests of the people of Oregon; but that he is not discouraged. He hotly denounc ed, as malicious and libelous, the story appearing in the Ore gonian about him having retain ed the money he collected as milage from the United States Government and not turning it it over to the state until after he had been threatened with ex posure. Listen! "When I turn over that money to the state treasurer he was so dumbfound ed and surprised that he did not know what to do with the money as he did not know what fund to apply it to." In taking up the grain rate reduction mat ter haidtht-the-TedHced rates were acquired through the hard work of the commission and not the efforts of Mr. Gains who had made contracts with the farmers in various Hections of the country, agreeing to get reduced grain rates for a value able consideration. To the astonishment of all a voice broke out from the audience and- ex claimed, "Mr. Gains is here and would like to repudiate that" "Help yourself brother" replied Mr. West. After waiting a few seconds for Mr. Gains to speak and no reply being made, Mr. West again asserted that Mr. Gains was in no way responsible for the reduced rates and advis ed the farmers to not pay the unlawful contracts they had time three Trustees are to be elected in the place of Fred Edwards, Oscar Veatch and H. A. Hartshorn, whose terms ex pire at this election. All members are requested to be present at this election. Fred Edwards handed m his resicrnation as president of the club and the same was accepted. A new president will be chosen by the Board after the general election. A basketball team will be organized in the near future and it is probable that the High School ivill also have a team this year. This promises to be a banner year for the Club as much interest is being manifest ed in indoor athletics. , It is a gross abuse of the rights guaranteed by the Init iative and Referendum' Amend ment to the Oregon Constitution to bring up women suffrage at every general election. This measure was submitted in 1900 and was beaten by a plurality of 2137. In 1906 it was again; pro posed and was beaten by 10173. ini i0& it was again oMhe1 bal- lot and it was beaten by a maj- made with Mr. Gains as they were without consideration. At this juncture the crowd made the building echo with cheers which fairly shook the court room. He then paid his respects to Mr. Bowerman relative to the cards which he is circulating on which are found words which make it appear that he is a friend of the school children and will preserve the school land, " I want to tell you that when the state had the Benton County tide land8(which lands are now in Lincoln County) up for con sideration and the railroads had acquired them, the Oregon people needed legislation regarding them and I caused a bill to be introduced which sought to pro tect the good people of Oregon against the corporations and because we had a peoples' leg- islature the bill was passed. But I ask you if your fellow townsman, Jay Bowerman, vot ed for it No, he could not do so as a corporation lawyer and an employee of the railroads. If he is such a good friend of the children why did he not vote for this bill and protect the common people of Oregon? I tell you why, because he dared not do anything which were against the wishes or his em ploders, the corporation." "I want to tell you I stand for the common people of Oregon an d if jou elect me Governor of Ore gon I will give you a run for your money and the greatest administration the state of Ore gon has ever had. ority of 21649. Notwithstanding these repeated defeats, more decisive at each election, the same, measure is again on the ballot this year. The ballot title is. misleading and indicates a proposal to give votes to taxpay ing women only, but the measure to be voted on is the same prop osition which the people have so of ten and so recently condemn ed. It should be voted down this year by an increased major ity, especially because of the fraud undertaken to be perpet rated on the people by the use of a false and misleading title on the ballot Oregon Association Opposed To Woman Suffrage.
