WHERE WERE YOU
THEN, GEORGE?
Uoood Klvar. May 24, 1908.
An open letter to Gov. Chamberlain
In answer to bis clroolar letter of
May 20:
Now, Geoige, yon Mem to think, or
t least you seem to want aa to think,
tbat yon, being Democrat, can serve
oa Kepnblloane In tbe United States
aenate just aa well aa Kepulilloan
ooold. Ot co arte it la with tbe piea
ent and tbe future tbat we have to
deal; but we can beat judge wbeie a
man will be and what be will do in
tbe future by what be baa doue in tbe
pant.
', I bava not forgotten tbat in fiuob
anan'a time 1 aud aoroe other little
tota waded through tbe enow and
mud, orotoh deep and barefooted, to
teed tbe atock and carry in the wood
and water, and ainoe that time 1 bare
frequently beaid tbe Uemooratlo
brethren refer to those daya aa "tbe
good old Demooratlo daya before tbe
war." Thla wan near Ft. Yamhill, lu
Polk county, Oregon. Whore were
you then, Ueoigef
During the reconstruction period
tbe Democratic party became the
party of obstruction, declared the
national debt never would or could
be paid, and their boata abouted for
greenbaoka. Where were you then,
Ueorge?
At still later time, wbeu the Dem
ocratic party under Cleveland captur
ed the presidency and both houses nf
oongreea, and wrecked tbe business of
the country and brought eveiythlng
aa nearly aa poaalble to atandatlll,
when all the boata of Bryaulsm, Nihil
iim, Fopniyam, Communism, Social
ism and every other duroed lam
ahouted for free silver, where were
you then, George?
When tbe Republican party gained
a victory for bouest mouey and Mo
Kiniey, tbe next morning after tbe
election 1 waa lu liood KWer, and
wben the morning train up trom Port
land waa tome blooka away trom the
depot I beard-a voioe like a trumpet
call oat, "a million majority," aud a
about went up tbat caused me to
think that I bad caught an acbo trom
that far-away time "wben alt tbe aons
ot Uod shouted for joy." Where were
you tben, George?
Btill later, after you became gover
nor aud a vaoano.v occurred oy the
death of an Oregon senator and it
tell to you to nil that vacancy tern
porarily, knowing that you were eleot
ed tor personal rather than politloal
reasons, where did you stand tben,
Georae?
Of oourae, no one expected you to
appoint a Hepublioan. Tbey know
you were a Demoorat and they atlll
kuow It. Yoa do oot pretend to be
anything else and In all political mat'
tera you wili aot witb your party as
other men do, and you would be false
to yourself and to others If you did
not do ao. Heuoe the plea tbat you
would aerve Kepublioana as well as
oue of their own faith stands in mid
air without any foundation.
In nun-politioal matteia a Hepubli
oan would aerve us just aa well as a
Demoo-i.t would, nay, better, for the
reaaou that be would be lu acoord
with tbe majority in congress, and lu
political mutteis he would work lor
us, while you would he uguinst us,
and any reasou you could gire why
you could serve us betttr would to us
be a reason for not weutiug you lu
a political otlico.
Now, George, we have no quarrel
witb you laken as a man you are,
so tar as we know, a very exemplary
gentleman. l!ut. honestly, we thiuk
tbe office of United States senator a
political one aud tbat we should have
a man there of our own faith.

Dear Sir A desire waa expressed by
some ot your readeis tor a few notea

Mr. E. Uuacenbusb. another Port
land friend, put aboard a box ot
oranges for the tiip aud Kev. W. C
Uilmore, ot Hood Kiver, a generous
taste ot Hood Kiver apples, and to
each of these gentlemen tbe car ex
pressed a vote of thanks. A few of
the beautiful Hood River advertising
pamphlets were secured at tbe Com
meiclal olub's fruit staud, In wbiob
niuoh interest waa taken, and a blob
are still doing duty In Kansaa City.
No event of importance oooured on

STRAWBERRIES
Everybody knows that the Hood River Fruit Growers Unions are the oldest and
most successful ones in the business. They stand as models hundreds of visitois
from other fruit districts come here to see how our unions are run, mid dozens of
districts have sent for our constitution and by-huvs. Nearly all the unions and
fruit associations are modeled after Hood Kiver. liood ltiver stands alone at the
top as the peer of all fruit sections for its fancy fruit, its superb climate and its
splendid unions.
But why are our unions successful. Because they are well run; because they belong
to the grower; because they get the highest prices for fruit and the union deducts no
profit, only charging the grower the actual expense of doing the business.
The phenoininal success of the Hood Kiver fruit Unions in addition to our soil and
climate has been the most important factor in our midst in filling our valley with
prosperous people and buildiug beautiful homes. The fame of our unions and the
prices they realized have added 50 to the value of orchard lands. Do you want
to get and continue to get high prices? Do you want to see our famous Hood River
Valley continue to progress in the future with the same rapid strides she has in the
past? If you do ship your Strawberries with

You must support the Union if you want it here.
