OT13RS of Oregon nro offorotl their fhoii'o botwoon two
iupu Tor ixovornor James Withyeoinbe and Charles
.1. Smith.
Taint's Withvoombo is an affable nnd talkative old
goi'itlenmn of stand-pat proclivities and tory tendencies,
lie is a native of Great Helta in. bnt was naturalized a citi
zen of the United States in 188S and has held public office
ever since. My occupation he was then a fanner, practic
ing locally as a veterinarian.
At the session of 1880 Dr. Withyeoinbe lobbied through
the legislature the bill creating the first commission the
state Veterinary commission and therefore is ."justly on
titled to be called the father of state commissions, since
become so numerous, one of the causes of increased taxa
tion, and now a campaign issue.
.Dr. Withyeoinbe was appointed state veterinarian
upon the passage of the bill he had lobbied through, lie
surved as state veterinarian until September JH), 1S5)8,
when he joined the Oregon Agricultural college staff as
professor of agriculture, and later became director of the
experiment station. His record as director is not particu
larly brilliant.
in 190(5, Dr. AVithvcombe was nominated for governor
by the republicans, but defeated because of his reactionary
tendencies bv George 10. Chamberlain. In 1910 he was a
candidate befove the "assembly," but defeated by .lay
Dowerman. lie represents in himself no real issue, but is
the figurehead behind which hide the reactionaries seek
ing return to power.
Charles J. Smith has lived uearlv all ot his active life
in Oregon, lie was born in Ohio in 1S(M, and after gradu
ation as a physician, came to Pendleton, Or., in 1890. In
Pendleton he served one term as mayor, was for eighteen
veal's a member of the school board, and twice elected to
the state senate, where his record is an excellent one. He
served for many years on the state board of health and
was president of the State Medical. society. He has made
a success in business, as a physician, and is a man of af
fairs. Dr. Smith stands for law enforcement, for consolida
tion and abolition of useless commissions, for lower taxes.
for economy ami efficiency in office. As mayor of I'en
dlcton in 1S.0S he "closed "the town," that is," lie stopped
open gambling and enforced the criminal laws. In the leg
islature he helped sustain the local option law and led the
fight for popular government. Tie has always championed
the public schools and served on the state board of cur
ricula for many veal's.
Dr. Smith is in the prime of life, conservative, even
balanced. He is of true gubernatorial caliber. As gover
nor, he would be independent and use the veto freely for
economy. ITo would enforce the law, not perhaps in the
spectacular manner of Governor West but only law
breakers worry about law enforcement.
It is for the voter to determine which of these two men
will best serve Oregon and his or her' own interests the
kindly, garrulous old gentleman, with little or no practical
or executive experience, distrustful of popular govern
ment and believer In assemblies, or the vigorous, well
poised, successful man of affairs, proved champion of the
Oreiron system, who has made good in public as in private
life.

BOOTH'S CHINESE EGGS
OODUOW WTLSOX'S work has hardly been com
menced, but his nineteen months of service arc
filled with constructive service.
. "Will Woodrow "Wilson be upheld by the people of Ore
gon giving him the aid of George 10. Chamberlain, or will
they send one whose only assistance will be to sit in a cor
ner and croak, "Chinese eggs"?
This cheap, idolic attempt to make an issue on the ques
tion of eggs bespeaks the character of the men who
make it.
Even fools know trade between nations is reciprocal.
To buy, they must sell. International trade means ex
change of the products of the nations. Oregon sells China
shiploads of wheat, shiploads of flour, shiploads of lumber.
Does any man object to that? "Wo buy from China, rice,
silks and perhaps enough eggs in a year to pay for one
eighth of one shipload of the mrtny shiploads of flour we
send over there every year.
But because of this, Mr. Booth insists on parading the
farmer as an ignorant, illiterate ass who is going to vote
for him because a few eggs have come over here.
The Oregon farmer is not a fool. He Knows he is gel
ting more for his eggs than before, lie knows that eggs
are shipped here from Iowa, Kansas and other states be
cause he cannot supply the demand. He knows Oregon
does not raise, its own pork. He knows that Mv. Booth's
weeping over the eggs is cheap political talk that went out
of style thirty years ago, and that Air. Booth has been so
infernally busy grabbing land that he has not progressed
any politically since that time.
Mr. Hooth has no eggs to sell, only lumber, and if the
importation of a shipload of eggs a "week from China
would help the lumber business, Mr. Hooth would devoutly
say, "God is good, and I'm not in the chicken business,
anyway." ITow sublime it will be to listen to this shep
herd of the chickens in the senate of the United Slates on
the egg question, and eggs 45 cents a dozen!
