Hon. R. M. Veatch opened his cam

port is from the Journal:
Binger Hermann's notorious record
in public office is being made the object
of merciless attack by his democratic
competitor for congress, Colonel Robert
M. Veatch. He addressed two large
meetings Friday, speaking in the after
noon at Medford and in the evening at
Ashland, and at both places he was re'
ceived with marked enthusiasm.
Colonel Veatch wasted no time in the
discussion of questions of national pol
icy but went straight to the issue of
Hermann's complicity in the land frauds
t id his unfitness to represent the first
district in congress. He boldly charged
that Hermann was hand and glove with
the ring of land grabbers and timber
thieves, and that he had shared in the
profits of the conspiracy.
Colonel Veatch also attacked Her
mann for his part in the establishment
of the forest reserves, showing that
Hermann himself was the author of the
suggestion that such reserves . be es
tablished in southern Oregon and that
for four years he had members of his
family employed
special agents of !
the land department in Catherine data
for the establishment of the Rogue
River reserve. Hermann's opposition
to forest reserves did not develop until i
he found that popular sentiment was I
clearly against them, and then
views underwent a sudden change.
