The Dalles, Oregon, October 20, 1914.- During tho absence of Con gressman Nick Sinnott at his post of duty at Washington, the friends of George L. Cleaver, the Prohibition nominee for Iiepresentathe from the Second District, are causing a house to house canvas to be made in Wasco and adjoining counties representing that Sinnott is "admittedly the sup porter of the liquor interests". The "Out to Win" association of Port land is preparing to take a part in the political affairs of eastern Ore gon by flooding the state with cir culars making a similar misrepre sentation of Mr. Sinnott's position. For months past Congressman Sin nott has replied to numerous con stituents, both "wet" and "dry", who have written asking what posi tion he would take when the ques tion of a national prohibition amend ment came up in Congress, clearjy stating that his vote on that amend ment would be determined by the vote of the Second Congressional District on the liquor question at the coming election. In his platform filed with the Secretary of State, Sinnott says "if nominated and elect ed, I will, during my term of office represent the views of the majority of my constituents" Sinnott holds that this plank embraces the liquor, as well as all other questions. He has frankly and consistently main tained this logical position all along. A single instance 'will show how frank he has been with his constitu ents. During last August Mr. Albert E. White, of Freewater, who Is a pro hibitionist, wrote Congressman Sin nott asking him to state his position on a National Prohibition Amend ment. Sinnott replied as follows: Washington, D. C, Aug. 7th, 1914. Mr. Albert E. White, Freewater, Oregon. ' My Dear Sir:- I write to acknowledge receipt oi yours of July 31st, and desire to ex press my appreciation of ,-our kind ness in writing to me and sending tht enclosed clipping. As a candidate for representative in Congress on the Republican ticket, I do not feel i Incumbent upon me to take part one way or the other in the issue in volved in state prohibition in Oregon and I do not intend to do so. The National Prohibition Amend ment known as the Hobson Amend ment, will not be voted upon at this session of Congress for the reasonf set forth in the circular letter sen: to members of the House by Con gressman Hobson, a copy of which I herewith enclose. It will likely be voted upon at the next session com mencing in December. When . it comes up for a vote I expect, asjhe representative of the Second Oregor, District, to voice the views of tht majority of my constituent.! in thai district as expressed at the November election. I received my nomination on the platform which I filed witn the Secretary of State last March oi April, a copy of which I enclose You will note that I therein siate "if nominated and elected, I will during my term of office, represent the views of the majority of my con stituents". I intend to keep this promise for I feci that it is the dutj of a representative in Congress tc represent the views of the majority of his constituents, such representa tion is tho very basis of our form of government. Kindly write me the name cf the paper from which yoi; took the dinning which yon enclosed I trust that my position will meet with vour approval and that I may continue to have your valued sup port. With kindest regards, I re main, Very truly yours, N. J. SINNOTT. What Mr. White thought of the position taken by Congressman Sin nott is best shown by the following extract from his letter of reply to Mr. Sinnott, dated August 11, 1914: "I have your favor of recent date and note your position which I think should be satisfactory to all your constituents as it is to me. Since in the State fight, you are representing nobody but yourself, it is your priv ilege, and as a party nominee per haps it is your duty, to reserve your opinion on this Issue. In the na tional fight where you represent thousands of us, it is unquestionably your duty to vote the sentiment of the majority of your constituents it that can be determined. While state and national prohibition are not identical issues, they are so closely related that I believe you would be justified in viewing the former as an index to their probable view on the latter, and so I commend your decis ion to use the November vote of your constituents on the question of state prohibition as a factor to determine your vote on the Shepherd-HoBson resolution . Congressman Sinnott has written this sort of letters to so many con stituents during the past months that the friends of Mr. Cleaver must know his position. When they circulate literature representing Mr. Sinnott as "admittedly the supporter of the liquor interests" it savors strongly of wilful and vicious misrepresenta tlon. That this attempt is being made In the tbsence of Mr. S'nnot has aroused the indignation of his friends throughout the district, re gardless of party, and promises to re sult in making even larger the im mense majority which he will re celve on November third. 51 BY-PRODUCT 10 BE SAVED Portland, Ore., Oct. 25, 1914, (Special) A call for a meeting of the Central By-products Association has been issued by the Chairman, H. C. Sampson and J. F. Eatchelder, secretary of the By-products of the National Apple Show. This meeting will be held at Spokane at 10 a. m. on Nov. ,19, in connection with the th annual apple show. The Inves tigating committee which was ap pointed at the conference held at Portland some weeks ago is unani mous in its belief that there will be an out-let for all the by-products that can be produced in the fruit sec tion of the Northwest and at the coming conference the committee will report its findings and make sug gestions as to future action. All growers' associations are enti tled to representation at the coming convention as also are commercial organizations that have given the preliminary plan financial aid. Secretary Franklin R. Lane has advised Governor West that the rec lamation engineers have decided up on the Deschutes project as the most suitable one in this state upon which to expend the $450,000 allotted by the government for reclamation work in Oregon. This appropriation was made for expenditure during the cal endar year of 1914 and was made do pendent upon the appropriation of a similar amount by tho state of Ore- on. Unless the money from the state iB forthcoming tho government appropriation will expire on Dec. 31, but it may be renewed immediately for the first of the next year. Whether or not Crook county is to be divided up Into two or three counties will be decided at the com ing election. There is a proposition :o take off part of the present coun .y to be called Deschutes county and another part to be called Jefferson county. If the division is made at this time the two new -counties will start life with few inhabitants but entirely free from debt. A man of experience in business and farming.
