HOFER, lending anti-assembly candi date for governor, is being bitterly fought by the C Orcgonian, organ of the- assembly, and by that purist of politics, Attorney L. TJ. McMahau of Salem. One of tho strongest argumouts in favor mies he has made. Mr. McMahan publishes accusing Colonel Uofer of that Mr. Hofer sold the support of his paper on two occa sions, that lie tried to act as with tho Salem city administration, and that ho made af fi davit to a larger circulation than he actually had. But Mr. McMahau docs not substantiate his statements with any proof. They are merely accusations, and when the source is considered, fall well known to deservo serious ilarly asserted that the stato el's, that the courts were corrupt, that the Crater Lake highway appropriation was the penitentiary was a grafter, and so on down the hue. Everyone who disagrees with his distorted view is likely to be placed in his catalogue of grafters. On several instances Mr. McMahau has preferred charges of graft, which upon official investigation have been proven groundless. Mr. McMahau 's breadth of view is reflected in his successful legal obstruction of the Crater Lake highway. He was not big enough to see the advantage accruing to the state by making accessible its greatest natural won der. He is permeated with the mossbackism of the silu rians. Colonel Hofer, on the other hand, vigorously fought for the normal school and the Crater Lake highway. His pa per has been on the side of progressive government. As president of the Develoxment league of the "Willamette valley he has done more to wake up that sleepy section than anyone else. He has constantly boosted Salem and played no small part in its growth. He helped secure a railroad for central Oregon and has been a great booster for the entire state, devoting his time and energies to its upbuilding. Eor his stand on matters affecting southern Oregon, Mi. Hofer deserves a good vote here. Mr. McMahan has said in his defense that he acted only as attorney in the Crater Lake road injunction. If this is the case he did himself just what he accuses !Mr. Hofer of doing, sold his support to a client. . A SKUI.KTNG DEFENSE. npHE supine, skulking, begging defense of Mr. Hawley f- by liis adherents is easily the most pitiful spectacle of the primary campaign. They urge that his support of Cannon in the last congress was not a choice of the heart and they would infer that at heart Mr. Hawley was insur gent, but that he remained in the Cannon ranks to secure a few roots of the Esau pottage. What a splendid, manly bit of statesmanship this, mas querading with the Cannon forces, pulling the wool over their eyes and all the time a loyal supporter of the people and against the interests, a sort of spy in the ranks of the enemy that's the sort of statesman "Mr. Hawley's ad herents are trying to make of him. Such political soft oap as this will not suffice to laun der Mr. Hawley's record. He stood behind the intrench ments'and voted down every insurgent measure, every measure of the people, that came up. He voted for the notorious Aldrich-Payne bill "in its entirety," as an un grammatical adherent puts it, a measure that has been denominated by Senator Dolliver as the hoax of the year, a brutal, tyrannizing tariff every constituent in his district, robbing them for the ben efit of the interests. Hawley's support of this measure is sufficient to damn him in the eyes of the people. Like the murdered Dun can's blood, it will not wash out. Makers of political soap may cry "Out, damned spot" in vain, but the people will wipe it out with obliteration FOOT LIGHTS CALL FOR UNCLE JOE Czar of All the House May Appear In Leading Role Soon Is Offered $3000 Per to Tell His Troubles to Vaudeville Crowd TOLEDO, 0 Sept. 19.
