IS JOE sinoN
A CANDIDATE
Ills Denial! In Former Campaign
Are Remembered Hltchell
Favors K. A. Hmmltt.
It I not always easy to ascertain
Just what a man slandsforln politics
from what li says In hi hour of need
when UpH'tlllllg to tlio people for
their itiiiHrt.
Itoosevolt's popularity with tho
masse In such that It Is-hoves any
out seeking pnfcrment at tln hand
f tho lU'iMittlU'iiiiM of Oregon to
proclaim fealty to mr chief executive.
Joe Simon Is nowor was, lioforo
the Multnomah primaries attempt
lug to foist himself upon tin Itrputill
au party of Oregon, to gain control
and prostitute that organization by
his cunning methods, i wder to
boost himself Into tio V. K. senate
again. In 1tH he used Corbett's
name, and "wick" to secure control
of the legislature, all the white stead
lastly proclaiming himself Corlteti's
loyal supporter. He thunnalnwl con
trol of the organization of the legls
lattice, and after perfunctorily sup
porting Mr. Corls-tt for a few ballot
Simon hlnifflf loom up a a candl
late utid secure tho coveted prize an
any winner.
Thin event I ft pfirt of tho political
history of Oregon and chronic! one
.if tho many event where Simon ha
Mhown himself a traitor In poll t leu.
Ho U now prm-lalmlng himself ait tho
friend and champion of our President
and he an his heiichmonnre displaying
treat activity In organizing House
volt club. How redlculoti all thU
seem to any one familiar with IiIm
attitude toward the I'rcHldont. No
me ciui hate more hltterly or relent
li'HMly than Little Joe.
Iet u read what ho had to Hay
about the President, less than a year!
ago. In an Interview by the Oregon
Ian, concerning tho OrvKon City land
office appointment. In that journal
on March JJ, llHKt. appeared tho fol
lowing: "Senator Simon apparently had
little reHjH-ct for tho . divinity that
doth hedge about a 1'reHldent.
'alm and deliberate, he spoke of tho
alleged do!iuiUencloH of the Chief
Executive with a much sarcasm iih
be might be eectod to iiko In ex
posing the petty graft of a ward
I lor."
Ill tlllrt Interview, he said, among
thor thing:
'I have long since learned tha't 1
bud noililng to expect from tho
President, iitnl that hi promises
nt leant those mado to me were,
like plecrtiHt, mado to Is broken. . . .
It In true I have received fair prom
ises, even speciHe promises; yet not
H single promise ho leoii redeemed
by tho ITt'Hldent."
Then again on April 1. 1903,
another abusive interview of Simon
appeared In tho same Journal, which
contained the following:
"Tho President," Maid Mr. Simon
last night, "U nppureiitly Incensed
because 1 called attention to tho
treatment accorded mo white a mem
ber of the United States Noun to, be
cause 1 referred lit term of criticism
to tho promise mado mo which tu
this day remain unfultlllod, and par
ticularly because I have exploited
t hid duplicity In respect to tho Ore
gon City La lid Ofllco appointment.
"I am sure that the President Islu
d and annoyed at ino Iiocuuho
vs 111 his heart that every
assurance given mo, and every prom
ise I ever received from him, lionlsm
Ignored and remains unfulfilled,
mainly Iiocuuho his Judgement wan
wrong In one respect; that I, ho I
lleved that I would not complain,
but would quietly cuIcmccIii w hat
ever treatment I should receive."
Those are tho utterance of tho man
who seeks to naiuo tho delegation to
support (?) Itousevclt In the next
National convention.
This pretended friendship for tho
President by Simon Is all sham, and
the Itcpuhllcitii voters of tho state
will rebuke all su h Impostors. The
way to support tho President I to
elect Hindi men for ifi-legatc a are
uncompromisingly Ills friends, and
no man who ho ever worn Simon's
collar should heihocn at a primary
an a delegate to any convention In
Oregon this year. ThU in ay hooiu a
remote connection at first glance,
hut we must remember at our pri
maries we elect thorn' who will com
pose our county conventions, aud
tho county conventions will cboowe
the delegate to thestatcconventlon,
and these In like manner will untuo
the delegates to our National con
ventlon, which nominates tho can
didate for President.
Multnomah has already held her
primaries aud given Joe IT delegates
out of 129. .
Ix-t the good work go on, Iake
should do Jlkcvvlsc.
In this state let conditions exist
with rcsct to the re-election of
Senator Mitchell, whoso term ex
pire March -4, 1907.
Oregon Is Indeed fortunate In hav
ing John II. Mitchell as one of tho
representative in tho upier body of
our national legislature, when ho
ranks as one of Its most able and In
fluential mcmlMTs. His ability and
seal has caused him to le recognized
as tho peer of any matt la tho senate,

and Oregon will never consent to
dispense with his services a loin; a
they are available. t
Itcpubllcans of this senator.;! dis
trict should lie sure that no man
who ha trained In tho Klmon ranks
or that haw heretofore Isvn a polit
ical ally to Simon shall lc nominated
for Joint Senator. Our Joint wuntor
! ought to bo a tried and iineonipro-
uilslng friend of Mitchell, on the term
of state senators Is for four Clears,
niid tho man who we will eleM, next
Juno will have a vote for a successor
to Senator Mitchell.
j There Is no man In the district let
ter uallllHl for tho otllco of Joint
senator than our Joint representative
It. A. Kmniltt. He was a staunch
supporter of Mitchell and helped to
elect him to the neat he now occupies.
We have neon a letter of roceutdate
over Senator Mitchell's own signa
ture, wherein he Hays ho will is very
much disappointed if Emmltt doe
not get the nomination for Joint sen
ntor in thin district.
It li HTslstontly argued here by
' the SIiiioij contingency that Simon Is
not a candidate, and since tie recent
prlmnrles in Multnomah county lie is
' completely out of the race. Tho prtit-
Jent election affects only tho senator
to Is-'eh-cted this year. Another el
ection will le held In ls!NI, and what
ever Simon can get this time ho will
' not have to fight for twoyears hence.
Simon says ho Is not a candidate,
but let him elect a legislature and see
whether ho Is or not.
