ENATOR
Vv. ,
WHERE
s
His Attitude as to National
Prohibition.
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.

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.
Favors amendment to our tax laws,
making tax payments May 1st and
November 1st without interest or
penalty.
Favors less appropriations and re
trenchment in public expenditures;
the abolishment of all useless boards,
and the consolidation of others where
possible.
A man that knows the demands of
Eastern Oregon and always ready to
defend them.
