He voted as Sen.at >r Aldrich dictated, too often. Yet his action in the senate and Hawley’s action in the house, were very similar.

SKELSVRN, OREGON * rv**» OREGON F : Wines, Liquors MR. HAWLEY WAS TRIED AND FOUND WANTING T IS A FACT that a vast majority of the peo ple of Oregon favor a reduction of th»1 tariff schedules to a revenue producing basis. This is true now and has been true for n an/ years. True, a few wool growers and manufacturers of lumber, for selfish reasons, desired the dut'es on those products be retained as in the McKinley tariff, when the Payne-Aldrich tariff was pending. It is. also, a fact that fully 99 per cent, of th«* peo pie of Oregon desired that the allowance for carry ing the mails on the railways should I k ? reduced to a reasonable and fair umount say the rates allowed by the railways for carrying express matter. Congressman Hawley has known these fact.« from the day upon which he was first elected to congress, lias he represented the will of his con stituents noon these measures? Lt us see. The congressional record shows that he voted for the schedules of the present tariff in every instance and that he voted to increase the pay of the railways for carrying the mails $2,700,000 per annum. These are fads which Mr. Hawley will not dispute; for they were taken from the con gressional record as they were noted down by the secretaries of the House of Representatives. Instead of representing the people of Oregon, Mr. Hawley has represented the big busine.^ interests the trust manufacturers and the rail roads. Because of Mr. Hawley’s votes and others of the majority party in congress you are paying higher than you should for th«* sugar which sweetens your coffee, for the oil which illuminates your homes, for the cotton stockings which your wives and children wear, for your clothing both cotton and woolen anil for almost every thing which goes to make living pleasant. Mr. Hawley knows that he has misrepresented his constituents upon these measures and that he has represented the protected interests and the railroads. Why did he do it? llo .s he think his constituents are foolsand do not know when they are oetrayed? Should he not look to the interests which he has served and not to the people whom he has lietraycd for his re-election? A man can and will be excused, if he makes occasional mistakes, if they are made through ignorance or misinformation. But this is not the case with Mr. Hawley. He knew the sentiments of the people of his state regarding a revision of the tariff. He knew that they wanted a substan tial reduction of the schedules. He knew that they expected him to vote for this reduction. But he did not do so and did vote as Cannon and the tariff and railroad barons wanted him to vote. There might be excuse for electing Mr. Hawley, if he had serve«! but one term. In which case the people might hope that, having mingle«! with his constituents he would vote differently when a re hearing of the tariff measure is had. But this will be his third term, providing he is elected, and there is no hope that he will serve the interests of the people as against those of the corporate inter ests.
