Friends (iather at Mt. Hood Hotel
And Give Asdiiranre of (food
Will and Support.
Tbe campaign of llou. K. L. Smith
for tbe nomination for United States
Senator waa started nlf Friday eveuini;
at tbe Mt Hood botel, when a gather
ing of friends met for the purpose of
congratulating him and Rive assur
HON. E.
1 could perhaps, if I bud time, tell
you of some things beuetlcial to Ore
gon that I am in favor of. Hut 1
tbluk I can, without immodesty, refer
you to my record iegurdiug many
things that relate to tbe material in
terests of our people. 1 have not, as
you know, waited for election times to
promulgate my ideas of those inter
ests. They are recorded in my actions
for many years, aud if you and the
people of this state accredit me to tbe
Senate you will but atford me a wider
neld aud endow me with a more po
tent inrluenoe to do whut, iu my pri
vate capacity, I have been trying to
do for the interests of us all. In the
larger field of National politics I am
in accord with the purposes of our
great liepublicau President. He is
but putting in practice effectively the
fundamental principles of the party
to which I have devoted my whole life.
ibere may be dispute about details,
but there never can be a controversy
about tbe fact that our party is de
voted to the doctrine of justice to all
and special Drivileses to none. Theo
dore Koosevelt la committed to that
principle and as I support him in that
course In my humble capacity, as a cit
izen I should be proud of credentials
from Oregon to apeak of her olllciully
in support of bis great policies.
Peoples' First Free ('Loire.
For tbe first time iu ourdiistory the
people are to express their choice for
Senator. I shall loyally accept their
verdiot 1 think that verdict ought to
be expressed with but undue solicita
tion and only after a free aud ft ir
discussion. 1 want you to bear in
mind that it la not my claim or my
interests or my ambitiou or those of
any other candidate that are at stake,
but your own interests and your own
welfare. Whatever has beeu in the
past it la now the Senator of tbe peo
ple o be named, aud be should be
named by tbe people and for tbe peo-
le.. If it is not to be so, this primary
iw'wiU have failed of its purpose.
And now, my friends, 1 want to assure
you that 1 shall always be h ppy to
retain, as I hope always to deserve, the
food friendship of my neighbors, and
b(d you good-nlgbt.
It is difficult for me to thank you
in fitting terms for this gracious re
ception. 1 value your loyally aud es
teem more particularly because you
areiny neighbors and friends, and be
cause your welcome,! am sure, Is not
in the least prompted or quuitued by
political or other considerations tbau
yotir good will.
Uttt I am not permitted to forget
that th occasion of your kind recep
tion is my oandldaoy for tbe Uuited
States Senate. That makes it most
appropriate tor me to say II rut to you,
my most intimate associates, and
through you to my wider constituency,
what principles would be my guide in
the. great otlioe for which, with some
reluctance, 1 bave contented to stand.
1 fully appreciate tbe tremendous
cope of the oflice. It bus relation,
not only to tbe interests of Uregou
but to tbe Interests of our great Na-
ticjn, for tbe Senate of the United
States is not a tribunal meiely for the
aggrandizement of tbe states that are
ire represented, but is a body hav-
I u. is villi U u i.uc uisucnv uc(iT.
the weighty matters of our duties and
1.. K. .k.... In H,a V.1,.1.,,.,1 ,!..,.....
iDonsibilities of one of tbe greatest
nations of the civilized world. To you,
my neighbors in our beautiful little
valley, 1 may express my hesitation iu
asuming so stupendous a task.
Will lTe No Tak Undone.
Out I bone the fact that I appreciate
the magnitude of the trust will be
some aasuranoe to you and to the neo
pie of this atate that 1 will omit
nothing that my capabilities or re
source cau command to perfoi in the
task to your credit aud to mine.
Of course, a Senator from Oregon
must care for tbe interests of Oregon.
I tbink 1 know what those interests
are. At least where I may laok know
ledge. I know where and how to in
form myself. I am not, I never shall
be tbe candid ite of special Interests.
The state, tbe whole state, and all that
tends to make it great, industrially,
socially and commercially, morally
and materially, that will be my gieat
constituent.
Labor and capital, tbe country and
ances of their good-will and support.
Mr. Smith was called from a sick
lied, having beeu confined to the house
for faverul days with intlaiuumtory
rheumatism, a ml was still very weuk.
This fact prevented any lengthy
speeches or great demonstration, and
ouly two speeches were made, M. P.
lsonherg uiaking the opening address,
followed by Hon. A. A. Jaytie.
The remarks were congratulutoiy
and expressions nf good-will to the
guest of honor. Several numbers were
played by the Hood Kiver band, and
the meeting closed with a short speech
by Mr. Smith, which, while necessar

was to the point, and one of those

which ih so characteristic of him, aud
which so forcibly displays the master
mind.
Mr. S'nith spoke as follows:

the city, agriculture aud commerce,
everything that constitutes the inter
ests of the people, and all the people,
of the high aud the low, the rich and
the poor, these are, iu my judgment,
the objects of the trust reposed iu a
Senator of the great State of Oregon.
1 would not be willing to undertake
the ollloe with a lower idea of its re
sponsibilities. You ought uot to ac

He is iu favor of tbe early comple

be uot only of great national import

people of this coast, shortening the
route of our commerce by many
thousands of miles.
He favors such immigration laws as
shall insure now and forever hereafter
the maintenance of the standard of
American labor, American homes and
American citizenship. As he believes
that the permanent population of this
country ought always to be composed
of such native and naturalized oitizeus
as can appreciate aud preserve the
original principles ou which this gov
ernment is founded, be believes that
immigration laws ought to be strictly
but fairly and justly enforced, neither
excluding those who should be admit

excluded.
He is lu iavor of keeping tho public

the conduct of all public officers and
by the swift punishment of all delin

In regard to mutters that affect es
pecially the people of Oregon, Mr.
Smith's platform is his own personal
record. He lias lieeu foremost for
years in tho promotion of large public
interests and enterprises of the state,
including horticulture, irrigation and
transportation. He cau only promise
i'j the lurger Held and in a public ca
pacity to use the same knowledge aud
discretion aud energy that have been
exemplified heretofore in his private
and public career.
Mr. Smith has been a staunch Re
publican since he cast bisuial len vote
iu lHliO for Abraham Llncolu. He is
one of the sixteen surviving members
of the California Legislature of lWH-tft.
On the recommendation of William II.
Seward he was appointed Secretary of
Washington Territory iu 18i(i and sub
sequently took part In the delibera

W. J. llaker then moved that the

bers of the board as named which waa

A motion waa made by 0. R. Cast
ner that it was the sense of tbe meet
lug that the board of directors be em
powered to make an assessment of
17. !0 a share on the stock outstanding

better equipped tbe Union waa for
baudiiug fruit now than it had ever
been, lie showed bow many expenses
which the Union had bad to bear in
tbe past would not again be necessary
to provide for and bow aa a whole the '
Buanoes of the Union were in a very
good oondltion considering the big
expense it had been under.
A proposition by Manager Shepard
that a graded scale be considered in
marketing the fruit so that the high
priced apples would pay mora per box
than tbe low priced ones found a dis
senter in A. 1. Mason who said be
di.lu't tbink it was right to make a
man, who made a business of growing
high grade fruit and who maintained
an orchard in which there weie no
cheap varieties, to pay a premium for
so doing. He rather thought, he said,
that tbe fellows who grew the cheap
apples should be made to pay an in
crease ost for marketing them If suoh
a scale should be adopted as it cost
more to dispose of them. There was
no more disoussion of tbe matter by
other members and the meeting did
not take any action in regard to it.
Mr. Mason also called attention to
the fact that although the Union had
been in existence three years there
had never been any dissension and
that while there had at times been a
difierenoe of opinion among tbe mem
bers in regurdgto various matters they
had as a whole worked inharmony, a
fact which accounted for the suooess
which it bad attained.
After some disoussion of the matter
it was moved by Mr. Mason that tbe
capital stock of the Union be increased
to Zw shares at 10 a share. Carried.
Mr. Carter then complimented Mr.
Sbepard on bis address and moved
tuut tbe Glacier be asked to publish
it which motion was carried.
A motion was then made giving Mr.
Sbepard a vote of thanks for bis untir
ing elforts In behalf of the Union and
the motion was oarried.
The meeting then adjourned.
Report of Manager Shepard.
To the Members of the Hood River
Apple Growre's Union.
1 regret very much indeed that last
year the business of the Fruit Grow
er's Union necessitated a trip east,
tor the reason that it prevented me
telling you in person about tbe sea
son's work, consequently it is doubly
a pleasure to be able to address you
today, for I believe much good will
come to our Union from a general re
view of the past season's work, fol
lowed by a general discussion, for our
present and future welfare.
Our Union is stronger today than
ever but still there are some growers
who are uot with us whom we want.
They are new growers and shippers
whose trees are just commencing to
bear. Tbey ought to be members,
consequently it seems timely to review
the present situatiou and the future
as full as your valuable time will per
mit, with a view of convincing them
of what we believe to be their duty to
thomKelves ; to show them how we can
lieucilt them by securing better prices;
building up a better reputation. In
creasing their profits and adding
value to their land. It 1 fail it will
be because 1 am like tbe school boy
who said to bis teacher, "I know but
oan't tell." 1 see it every day, I feel
it, 1 know it and therefore, I regret
that I am not blessed with the powera
of oratory, the genius of argument
and the gift of speech, for if 1 were I
