Hon.. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
T ... -VPel Slate? Senator,
.'jt .Portland, Oregon. .
My Dear Senator Beurne: Infor
mation has reached me that you have
decided to again allow your name
to go before the people of Oregon in
the senatorial ijojitest, and that you
have consented to do this in responbe
to tho call of the progressive citizen
ship of your state.
I avail myself of this opportunity
to congratulate you for deciding to
make this contest and I trust that
you may receive n generous support
for re-election to the United tSates
senate. I feel'thnt I would be remiss
in my duty if 1 did not say to you
at this time that during ypur seric&
in tho United States senile in which
the interests of labor were involved
and which, of course, follows as a
matter of course the inclusion of the
best interests of all tho people. The
attitude that you have taken in be
half of popular versus delegated gov
ernment by tho a'doption of the initia
tive, referendum and recall; by the
substitution of direct primaries for
caucuses; for tho publicity of .til
campaign expenditures; for the di
rect election of United Stntes sena
tors; for free speech; unhampered
petition and rights of association for
government employes; for the insti
tution of the parcels post and for
your cncouragemejit on all measures
in which tho rights of labor nre in
volved, merits the confidence and en
thusiastic support of all good citi
zens in your slnto, especially those
known as wago eurners.
In order that my many friends and
associates in the stuto of Oregon
may know first hand, I cheerfully
say to you thut you responded to
our ovory request without excuse,
without evasion and without hesi
tancy, knowing that wo would ask of
you nothing uiiicnsonnhtle, and to
your great credit I muke it a mutter
of record that you weie tho first
chairman of the United States sen
ntecoimnittco on postofiiccs and
post roads that over gave a hearing
to' tho ropresntntives of labor in be
half of tho eight-hour day and tho
full oxerciso of all normal rights of
citizenship for clerks, lottor-cnrriers
nnd othor employes in tho postoffiee
department.
.Again with host wishes and hop
ing that you may bo retained in tho
United States senate in behalf of not
only tho good people of Oregon, but
in bohulf of tho best iuteiosts of all
the people in the. United States, I am
Vory fruly your,
SAMUB& aOMPERS.
President Amorionu Federation of
Labor,

PROMISE AND
THE leopard cannot change his spots nor tho Ethiopian
liis skin.
There is no way to judge tho future except, by the past
By their works you know men, not by their voils.
What one has done in the past is the index of accomplish
ment in the future.
In considering the statement to voters issued by
George AV. J)unn, candidate for county judge, in which he
strives to masquerade as a progressive, his promises must
be contrasted with the performance of his previous term.
Judge Dunn says:
"If elected to this office I shall try to restore the countyVcretHtr1 I
shall not be a party to the lssulug of county warrants contrary to law, but
shall always endeavor to keep within tho law."
Jackson county warrants were first brought to par by
Judge Oowell, who advanced them to three per cent above
par. .Judge prim succeeded
iredit good. Judge Hiiiin succeeded Prim and did nothing
L-nt iollow m Crowell s and Prim's footsteps, lie did not
injure public credit, nor did he help it any. lie did not
increase county indebtedness, nor did he decrease it. lie
simply left things as ho found them.
Judge Dunn further says:
"Good roads are essential to the development of tho county, and 1 be
lieve In building such roads as fast as funds a'ro available and as rapidly as
the work can be done In a permanent and' scientific manner."
The first attempts to build roads in Jackson county
were made by Judge Oowell, who interested Joshua Pat
terson in the work. This work was continued in a small
way under Prim and then Under Dunn, Mr. Patterson tak
ing the initiative and looking after the work. Remarkably
few roads were constructed under Mr. Dunn and no work
at all done in many sections of the county. None of the
roads can be called ''permanent and scientific."
Mr. Dunn further sas:
"I believe In a careful and rlKld Inspection and sunervNion of horticul
tural, agricultural and stock Interests,
aueciing said interests may be eradicated or held In check."
"While Mr. Dunn was county judge, there was no in
spection or supervision worth' of the name over the horti
cultural or agricultural interests. Mr. Dunn has never
been among advocates of inspection and everyone opposed j
to it is working m JJunn s behalf under the supposition
that it will be abolished or so curtailed that it will amount
to as little as it did under his regime.
Mr. Dunn says:
"I will, to the best of my ability, endeavor to fulfill the legitimate
wishes of tho taxpayers, but I will not be controlled by the demands of tho
"tax-eaters."
Eeononry is promised by all. The only "tax-eaters"
outside county offices are the farmers and laborers who
work on county roads. Judge Dunn's well known policy
of sitting-tight and doing nothing will deprive these men
of work.
Judge Dunn says:
, "Should the taxpayers of this county desire that bonds he Issued for the
building of permanent roads, I shall call an election for that purpose as
soon as the necessary legislation enabling the county court to call such elec
tion snail nave ueen enacted, and If It Is decided at such election to Issue
bonds I will do all that I can to see that every dollar derived from the sale
of sqcb bonds is carefully and Judiciously expended."
Judge Dunn if elected and all other county judges
would have to call a bond election if petitioned under any
of the proposed legislation. So there is no special merit
in promising to do what he would have to. But Judge Dunn
is careful not to go on record as favoring a road bond issue
for constructing a general system of highways, lie did
not favor the bond issue voted by Jackson county and the
Ashland clique supporting his candidacy voted solidly
against it.
Judge Dunn makes no promise of giving all parts of
the county a square deal, ite did not do it when county
judge before. His attitude toward Med ford is best shown
by the action of his chief booster and champion, Benton
Bowers, in enjoining the Medford bridge done not onlv
to slap Mcdroru out to win votes lor Dunn m the county by
creating prejudice and antagonism to Medford through
rank misrepresentation. "Why did Judge Dunn not call
off his friend if he was a friend to Medford?
Judge Dunn is not a progressive in politics or anything
else. lie is a stand-patter, a reactionary, a "setter" and
not a "doer" or things. He lias played no part in the re
cent growth and development of Jackson county but like
King James, has watched the battle from afar.
As county judge the only thing Judge Dunn originated
was the arbitrary raise in assessed valuations sixty-six
and two-thirds per cent. The man who had turned in
$1000 cash had to pay on $1G66. This and his failure as a
road builder, caused his defeat four years ago.
Jackson county must either go forward or backward
progress or deteriorate. The election of Judge Dunn
means, its retrogression, stagnation and depreciation.
"Which do you want progress or reaction?
VOTE FOE YOUR OWN INTEREST.
np IIE business man who has
to retain him. bo the people ought to be. Then there
would be less talk of graft and corruption.
A most important office in the county is that of sheriff.
Under our laws, the sheriff is not only the peace officer,
but the tax collector as welland the latter office is much
the most important.
All the revenues of Jackson county pass through the
sheriff's hands. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
handled by him. lie must not only be honest, but capable
and efficient.
A man to fill such an office should be a man who has
made a success of his own business. When such a man has
been tried and made gootj, he deserves another term.
Wilbur Jones has proven an efficient official. Quiet
and unassuming, he has devoted his entire time and energy
to the double duties of his office. His record is without a
btain. The expert who examined his books, paid him a
high compliment. His efficiency as a police officer are
without question.
There is no just basis for any criticism made against
Mr. Jones The fact that ho has served two terms and is
theroforo familiar with his
jnore yajiuiuic lor a thncil town.
