KELLY REPLIES TO RSOHf ySi tin' Kilitor: ' Willi suiihfiinoi'ii verbosity mid fltnriirtciistic misrepresentation, the iiiiiriiini; hull'- candle power, dimly Kimiduo il' ils own mendacity, makes mi eleventh hour personal uttiii'k lip on mi'. At the outset of the oninpnij.'n Mr. Noll mnl myself submitted a chal lenge t' jointly debate the issues of the wiiiipiiijrn, which was deelined upon the liiinsy ground of nou-prep-nrulion. 'I'he editor of the uioniin flicker milking the pei'sonul excuse (which he does not have the candur mid courage to publish) that the elec torate of Jaekson count v lin ked in-telli- eni'O to understand the nlleii'cd "common sense'' ;ire:unicnts of Mr. Uiiubcs' adherents. It apparently beiiiK- his iden that those who toil with their linnils nnd enru their bread by the sweid of I heir brows are not In he classed , in the mutter of dis-eenin-.inl, wttli the neiideinie snol' nid the remittance man. Untiier would lie i;ive silent, npproval to that other method of enmpainiu adopt ed by u small and seleet eolerie of the president's opponents in trivinir whispered dissemination to a vile and shamefully false seaiidal blaekeninv the pood name and eharaeter of the president and his family. Stumr by the plain answers to his nssinine eleventh hour rinini; approv al the answers elieiled from aii au ilienee outnumbering his bona fide cir euiution, he now seeks with weasel eumiiii and personal abuse to inject into the cninpnuiii in ils waning hours, when time ami opportunity deny us an answer, new and fake issues, evi dencing nmiin his low estimate of the inleliinenre and fairness of the elee tornle. To personally nttaek mid misrepre sent the motives of a jrenllenian who conscientiously opposed u bond issue which he, the editor, favored, on the eve of the bond eleetion and then deny the yietim of his ealumny space to answer; to ive prominent publien tion to fake charges niMinst the president and one of his secretaries and then suppress the refutation of the same: to seleet from the several bulletins jiving the straw vole of the liexall stores the siuale and isolated mi r, i nev health O it coffee. one nlthoutfli not the latest that gave ndvantiiKe to his candidate and to publish the same us n total result; to ehaiire tt political parly with polil ieal jobbery and trickery because a single unauthorized individual asked a few democratic friends to vote for science which pioslituics (lis hih another republican friend and by oth er devious mnl contemptible attempts to distort facts and deceive his pat rons he exhibited the quality of eon cnllinsr us a tribune of the people. With an abiding 1'nith in the hiu.li intelligence and fairness of the voters of Jackson county we may confident ly expect repudiation of such methods at the polls. K. E. KELLY.

MONDAY. XOYEMB FAl C, YOU HAVE DOtHE LXSSlTANtA PROTECTIVE TARIFF IS THE are flooding the newspapers of the country with page advertisements ad vocating a monopoly tariff yet they resist every effort to discuss the tariff problems on a fair and sane basis. An illustration of this attitude on i their part Is furnished by the experi ence of .lames T. Leonard, president of James T. Leonard & Co., the larg- jest buyer of dry goods in tho United jStates. j Mr. Leonard, who has been all his llfe a republican, sent a letter to the numerous tariff misstatements, which POST INSTANT . ANSWERS A FEW QUESTIONS WHAT WOULD YOU ABOUT THEJEIGHT .v 2 jhave been finding their way Into the jcampaign. Ills sole purpose Mr. Leonard pointed out, was to clear the situation. Again, on October 25, Mr. Leonard wrote him, and again re questing that his letter be published. I He received a reply from the Herald ion the snme day, acknowledging re ceipt of his tariff letter of October 20, but up to this time that letter has not appeared in print in tho Herald, I which is supporting Mr. Hughes. Mr. Leonard, In bis suppressed lct- 'ter to the Herald said that: "Thore Is not nn Item in the dry goods trade to- Iday that any manufacturer would like unmuiMiKi Tihtites to grocer UM users In vour touch ' with them and ten POSTUM mr 101G HAVE DONEO H2UR LAW to hnve protection on. Times never were so prosperous in the dry goods trade ns they are today." In his Becond lottcr Mr. Leonard said: "I note several campaign speeches by tho ropubllcnns regarding the enormous flood of goods that will come from Europe after the war. When they make those statementsi It Is only to deceive the people and not to tell them the truth, as every dry goods buyer knows that there is not a surplus of any single Item in Europe, which is connected with dry goods or department store wants." wio STUM and PAGE THREE ' AMENDMENT An amendment, permitting the manufacture of beer In Oregon, will appear upon the ballot Nov., Tih. If you should favor It, you would mnrk your ballot, 314 X Yes; If op posed to It, you would mark your bal. lut 315 X No. ' It now seems conservative (o sny that a large majority are going to vole against It. As the facts have become known the opposition to this proponed amend ment has Increased. Hero are some of the facts: First, It is a constitutional amendment, and, It carried, will re peal nil present and existing laws up on the liquor questlou. Even those who favor the sale of liquors, are unwilling to have the liquor business written Into the con stitution of the state. At the present time wo hnve laws which mnke it criminal to sell liquors to minors, students, convicts, fnsane persons. Idiots, habitual drunkards, and intoxicated persons. See sees. 2142-2143. . It Is now unlaful to sell Intoxicat ing liquors within two miles of any school maintained by the government of tho United States (sec. 2135), or within six miles of any public work being constructed by the .United States or the state of Oregon. Secs. 2130-2138), or to an Indian. (Sec. 2141.) The prohibition law which wont into effect on Jnnuary 1, 1910, and which has been so highly beneficial to tho Btate, strengthened and aug mented the numerous good . lawe which we already had. If the Brewers' nmendment'should carry, it would do more than permit tho manufacture of beer In Oregon, It would repeal nil existing laws upon the liquor ques tion, and leave us in a far worse con dition than when prohibition went Into effect Janurry 1, 1916. The ablest statesman In Oregon, In cluding such men as ex-Go.'-.'injr West, Governor James Wlthycombe. Congressman Hawley, Hon. Mark V. Weatherford, candidate for congress on prohibition nnd democratic tickets, agree in srying that this Is the most vicious law that was ever proposed to the cltizon of Oregon; that, It car ried, would repeal all present and ex isting lawB and write the liquor busi ness Into the constitution of tUe.state of Oregon.
