CARDIFF, AYales, Sept. 19.
Twelvo thousand miners from the
Cambrian colliery trust struck to

, all tho mines supplying coal to the
British navy. The strikers in walk

leaders of the unions. The federa

ing out 200,000 miners as a result.

HOFER STRONG IN
OLONEL E. 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
