A SENATORIAL MISFIT.
l^at week Senator Stanfield visit
ed Portland, hie home town. While
it is true that hie visit was rather
unexpected the senator excited but
little more attention than an ordin
ary hobo landing in town would.
The press merely mentioned that
the senator was in town. His ar
rival would hardly have been men
tinned except for the office seekers
were to be jollied. There's a reason
A congressman is expected, in his
activities, to represent the sentiment
of the people of the United States
in general and that of his home
state in particular. It is doubtful
If Senator Stanfield represented 600
of the people who elected him. when
he advocated the interests of the
“big five" packing companies before
the U. 8. senate.
Few people, however, were sur
prised at his action. In the cam
paign of last year, owing to Stan
field's Intimate relations with the
Swift Packing company, that he
would represent the (tacking house
interests in the senate.
So he did not disappoint many
Oregonians when he announced in a
speech before the senate that they
(the lacking houses) had developed
the best and moot economical system
for the distribution of meat prod
ucts in the world.
But moot Oregonians, whether
producers or consumers of animals
slaughtered for'food purposes, con
sider the packing companies next
door to enemies. They Know it is
the purpose of the packing houses
to hold down prices of meat-produc
ing animals to the lowest poanble
figure and to exact the highest
prices for the meat after the ani
mal has passed through the slaugh
tering process
The people see in the [tacking
companies friends, not to any con
siderable amount of the people, but
of themselves only. They pluck the
producer and skin th^ consumer.
Hence the people of Oregon, though
they do not openly say so. privately
In their hearts they curse Stanfield.
If a new election could occur now,
as between Stanfield and Chamber
lain, Stanfield would not receive one-
third of the votes of the people.
Dragon has Iteen represented in
the U. 8. senate in the past by some
very poor material.
But Stanfield
Is tbs first senator to advocate a
measure to which the vast majority
of his constituents were opposed.
Had it been known that Stanfield
would thus quickly misrepresent the
people of Oregon he would have
been sunk so deeply in oblivion that
he would never have been heard of
in a political way again.
Bob Stanfield is a traitor to the
people who made him a United
