WHAT PENDLETON
OF the sixteen candidates for governor, the "Portland
niv..rmii.'iii is fiVhfimr but one Dr. t J. Smith, for
mer mayor of Pendleton. The abuse and denunciation in
turn showered upon Mitchell, Chamberlain, Dourne and
"West has been diverted, for the time being, upon Dr.
Smith, and for weeks past that delectable journal's col
umns have !een full of falsehoods and slander.
As a result of these character attacks a mass meeting
of the citizens of Pendleton was held Tuesday evening a
non-partisan meeting of protest, which, after many ex
pressions of indignation; passed unanimously the follow
ing resolutien: "It is the sense of the meeting that the
campaign made against Dr. Smith is slanderous and with
out foundation."
A type of the speeches made in behalf of Dr. Smith was
that of Kcv. A. Mclvcnzie Mcldrum, a Christian minister
of Athena, who said:
1 havo coma out of my party for tho time being In order that 1 mny
cast a ballot for a man who is n man In all that the word Implies. Dr.
Smith Is ono of tho clcanet. ono of tho ablest, one of the best and ono of tho
noblest men I have met In all my llfo. and how any man outside tho door
of tho asjlum can say an) thing derogatory of his character Is beond my
comprehension. Whenever a man of his lotty reason, high character and
warm heart Is maligned as ho has been. It Is tlmo for every decent man
and woman, regardless of party, to rlso up In his support.
The Oregonian's campaigns always result in victory
for the person fought so that there is little question but
that Dr. Smith will be nominated tomorrow.
Dr. Smith should receive the solid vote of Jackson
county democracyand Jackson county should be his ban
ner county.
V. II. Mealey, the only Medford man who seeks 'repub
lican nomination as representative, is a clean-cut, honest
and energetic young lawyer, politically a La Follette pro
gressive, and a firm believer in the rule of the people and
the Oregon system. If nominated, and elected, Mr. Mealey
could l)c depended upon to support progressive policies,
regardless of partisanship. He would make a good rep
resentative for the people.
In reply to many requests for advice regarding the elec
tion of supreme court judges, the Mail Tribune recom
mends the following to its republican leaders: Henry L.
lienson of Klamath county, Thomas A. MoBride of Col
umbia, Lawrence T. Harris of Lane county and Charles L.
MeNary of Marion county.
Southern Oregon has a chance to secure a representa
tive in the national councils of the democratic party by
electing Judge AV. II. Canon as democratic committeeman.
A solid vote here will go a long way towards nominating
him.. . :
