Richfield Aviation Gasoline, Captain C. B. D. Collyer, round the
world record holder, established a new cast to west transcontinental non

Captain Collyer, accompanied by Harry Tucker, owner of the ply,

Coast to Coast record of 18 hours and 58 minutes and the recent Los
Angeles to Cincinnati non-stop flight. '
Richfield gasoli.ic was used in all three of these flights the same famous
gasoline that captured four of the six major, events in the National Air

to i'ffll across most rfieiul ni'ts of tin- comity, in n paid
advertisement of October :, llllW, attempts to malign the
fetter (iovernmeiit Leiipuo and to bring lawyers into dis
repute, writes: "This committee lias risked .ludge Tlioiuns
for information in reference to ihost of the important
charges. This advertisement will be followed bv othefci."
e assuie, thertjfore, that the facts are either written or.
supplied by ,1 mfjjc Thomas? I'nder a headini;, "Cold. Cal
culated 'Distortion," they make several explanations and
we will Uxke icm up in their ortlet.
1. Heplying to the first aliened fact. Judge. Thomas
j states that Judge Leavitt of KK)math County was called
in because of an affidavit of prejudice, filed by K. K. Kelly.
The record shows tht this was a case in which S. S. Hull is
was one f the parlies, and that Judge Thomas had, for n
number of years, been attorney for Hullis, nl therefore
should have been disqualified without the necessity of
any affidavit, as i would havbeen manifestly improper
for i judge to sit in Sic case of one of his clients.
TL record shows that Jtidgo heavitt was called in on
four other occasions WHEN Til EH K' WERE NO AEI'T
DY1TS FILED. 0
2.JIT)GE EVANS OP PORTLAND. irB was not
brought here on account of any affidavit of prejudice. Tn
, January, 10'2G, there was a lawsuit pending betweeiPtwn
factions of an Ashland church. It looked like it might do
Judge Thomas some harm politically, and he got Judge.
Kvns to come down; wl'ii he' opemsjl tho case ho ex
plained to the court room full of these church people, that
he had wanted to try the cflfce; but that a newspaper re-
. porter, commenting of? someo ruling that ho had mad, in
the case, had written it as though Judge Thomas igight
have nn opininP, and ho was afraid somebody might Sus-
pieion him of leaning towards one side or the other; hence
he called in Judge Evans. lie said thaPhe could do 0110
of two things first, opunish the reporter r contempt
(which had not been committe?!), or second, mako the
state the great expense of calling in ft judge from Portland,
which he had done rather than to have them think Hint
he was biased. In the middle ofhis talk he demanded
that defendant, Dr. Sweeney, plead guilty or not guilty.
. lie was told by Sweeney's attorneys, of whom George
Roberts was one, that they had had an understanding with
him that he would call in another judge to try the Swee
ney ease. Notwithstanding that Sweeney was- pleading
for an impartial judge, and notwithstanding that Judge,
Thomas was getting out of the church' case because he
wanted to appear fair, ho denied Sweeney's application
for a change 6' judges, although his ill will towards Swee
ney dated from n previous warm campaign nnd other po
litical matters. . Hot 1 ho contestants in the church ease
settled their differences in court in a remarkably kindly,
pood naliired way, which ended up with devotional oerv
ijs in the court room. Duo to the good offices of Judgo
Kvnns, the bitterness, if any did exist, faded away. Con
sidering Judge Thomas' concern for his political future)
how he must lvc regretted that he did not continue with
the church-cr.hr. Judge Evans was hero other times: The
Chief Justice, would not have Rent Judge Thomas to Port-,
land if he had had anything to do here. It is a ruin of tho
Supreme Court not to tako a judge from his own()-ork..
Some of the political judges like tn bo sent nwny from
home and have others tako their places.
3. gjiis is the same Sweeney case. ' '
. Judge Tliomns in his explanation gives tho impres
sion tljjt A. E. Kennies inndc nn nffidavit of prejudice
against Judge Thomas, nnd Hint this resulted in a new
judge. This is not true On January 1!), lOL'ti, the day
mentioned of the meeting of tho church people in court,
George Roberts and A. E. Rennies, representing Sweeney,
filed Sweeney's nffidavit, but only nfter endeavoring for
two hours to persuade Judge Thomas that ho should not
sit in judgment agaiiQ, one who believed would bo
fair to him. Judge Thomas on that day that tho affidavit,
was filed, denied Sweeney's motion for another judge,
Afterwards Judge Thomas, iu order to get rid of a politi
cal hituntion, disqualified himself to try Sweeney, nnd hnd
the Chief Justice name nnnther judge. The Chief Justice '
named Judge McMahnn of Snlem. Judgo Thomas tclc-
o 00
phoned the Chief Justice at Salem that an affidavit of
pi'cjiPlico had been filed against McMnhan. This was not
trtie. 0 None htfd been l ited. The telephone caused the
Chief Justice to believe that the defendant, Sweeney, had
objected to Judge MoMahan and that caused the Chief
o Justice to appoint. Judge liggley, whom Judge Thomas
named in this explanation of his. Four days after Judge
McMahan was filed. It was filet out of the Pistrict Attor
ney's office and contained the statement that McMaha was
q
prejudiced against the State nf Oregon. We charge that
this was inspired b.f Judge Thomas. Subsequently, Judge
Thomas puf?an order oil the Journal dismissing tho in
dictmentsiigai)st Sweeney. He knW the ewe was out of
his hands and that the order ws ineffective, and would
leave Dr. Sweeney forever under indictment. As Judgo 0
Thoiftas was not Retting any place with his prosecution
of Sweeney, and nn prosecution could be forced nter Judge
Thomas had entered the void order, Judge Hagley dis
missed the case. .
.0
4. These so-cylled facts furnished by Judge Thomns
contain the following: "lie (Judge Hamilton) has never
presided in Hun district sinc$ Judge Thomas was elected,
although Judge Thomas has held court at Rosehurg."
This statement os urjtnt and Judge Thomas must ,
know, that he is mistakoji in the statement, because of tho
oofolloving facts: July 30, lOL'ti, Porter Ncff, attorney for
plaintiff, and ndvocale of Judge Thomas, filcda ease en
titled "Medford Irrigation District vs. Rogue River Valley
Canal Company, ct al," being Circuit Court file No. 3:I8G-K.
He obtained nn order on that day from judge Thomas
setting a hearing for Augus-I. Having signctrtho order,
Judge Thomas telephoned to Salem and had the Supreme
Court send Judgo Hamilton to try that case on August 1,
and then Judgo Thomas left. Judge Hamilton did so try
the ense in open court at Jacksonville. Fred N. Cumniigs,
water master, was'not only a (ftfendant, but was a wit
ness. Please telcphono him and ask him whether Judgo
Hamilton sat in that enso athnt time. (
5. : His fifth explanation is that A. E. Rcamcs filed an
affidavit of prejudiciPngninst Judge Thomas in Torrey vs.
Daniels, Unfortunately, this gives tho wrong impression.
, The affidavit was that of Mr. Daniels. The statement also
gives tho impression that that affidavit was what caused
Judge Corking to bo here, lie tried numerous cases while
here, nnd ho wnsTerc numerous other times when no nffi-
e davits were filed against Thomas, and whciPThomas was
not sick. ,
G. His explanation is that Judge Skipworth was
0 called in to try Newton C. Chancy. In his published state
ment wherein he attacked Mrs. Grieve, forewoman of tho
grand jury, Judge Thomas stated the following concern
ing the nine questions asked him: cxnmincd it nnd
found it to be a scries of questions, which, if answered by
tho conrt, would undoubtedly ereato the impression that
lOas not impartial in thenvestigation then un(f?r wny''
If ho was impartial, why could he not have tried the
Chancy easel Chancy didn't object; Chaney filed no af
fidavit of prejudice against him. Bert Anderson didn't
object. Wl.o did object?
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Now would tho so-called Republican Central Com
mittee, that got its information from Judge Thomas, an
' swer the following questions!
1. Was it nny distortion of tho fact to any Hint 11
Qndges from' various parts of the stnto havo presided in
Judgo Thomas' court on 24 different .occasions?'.
2. AVas it any distortion of tho fact to' say that tho
mileage and expenses of these judges was paid by tho tax
payers? "' ' ;
3. Was it nny distortion of the fact to say that durr.
ing the 3(i preceding years prior to the incumbency of
Thomas that only four judges were called into this dis
trict to do tho work of the presiding judge?
Comparing the records for tho preceding 36 years
with its cnll of four outside judges, ngninst tho six-yenr
record of Judgo Thomas, with II outsido judges, wo ask
you wiieiiir tho statement that Judgo Thomas is nn ex
pensive luxury on the basis of this record, is a distortion
or not. BETTER. GOVERNMENT LEAGUE.
