Simon’s Henchmen at Work---The Gambling and Saloon Elements Trying to Control Republican Party. The Headlight has an important duty to perform. That is to acquaint the voters of Tillamook of the political situation in this county. We do so entirely upon public grounds, for we have no personal antipathy whatever against either of the aspirants for public office, therefore, it is without fear or favor that the Headlight intends pointing out a few facts with regard to politics. Those who have watched the political situation can plainly see that the repub lican party is divided into factions and that the fight is better and determined, so much so there is not much neutral ground to stand upon or a fence to straddle. It is a clean cut issue, and one must get one side of the fence or the other. To put it plainly and to come down to the point without any mock modesty, it is a fight between the old time factional rule or ruin leaders, with tax eaters as allies, on the one side, and the young, progressive republicans on the other, or, in other! words, it is a fight between a few autocrats who call themselves republicans and I the independent republicans who do not propose to submit to one man rule or a • few men’s dictation any long, for Tillamook politics have been swayed too much I with this autocratic spirit for the good of the partv or for the county, hence our isolated condition and lack of improvements on Tillamook bar. The present contention did not originate at this election. It dates back to fou-i and tw’o years ago, when, at the last election, public opinion was opposed to both Maxwell and Sappington, consequently they met with a frost, simply because Max well was with the anti-Tongue faction and the republican convention wanted to show that it had no more confidence in Sappington. It is the same factions which are uow making desperate efforts to regain control and supremacy in the republi can party, with Messrs. J. W. Maxwell. T. B. Handley. G. VV. Sappington, the Hadleys and the saloon and gambling element at the back of it. The fight against Mr. Eddy by Mr. Maxwell and the anti-Tongue faction was of course, to be expected. The old time factional leaders dislike Mr. Eddy person ally because he has accomplished what they had an opportunity but failed to do : i Distinguished himself and obtained the confidence of the people of Tillamook by his own industry and ability. Another thing which is injected into the local tight is the use of Simon money and Simon bribery to defeat Mr. Eddy. Always being a tool in the hands of Simon, Mr. Maxwell saw an opportunity to force himself upon the republican party again with these agencies. The people of Tillamook do not want Simon for United States senator again goes without saying, and to turn down Mr. Eddy for Mr. Maxwell would I»“ a bad state of affairs. Congressman Tongue they do want again, and those who have shown opposition to that gentle men cannot expect much support from the people of Tillamook. It is plain to see that the old time autocrat factional leader will make an effort to control the primaries on Saturday, with the aid of the saloon and gambling elements, assisted by men from Hadley's camp and democrats, and if they succeed they will control the republican convention one week later anil make Mr. T. B. Handley chairman of the conventiou. That the old time factional leaders have made a dicker with the gamblers it is plain to see, for a slate, thoroughly represen tative of the gambling table, has been made. Here it is, and the Headlight will call it The Simon Saloon Gamblers’ “Collusion” Slate. Joint Representative ..................................J. W. Maxwell. County Judge...................................................G. VV. Sappington. County Clerk ................................................ Arthur Stillwell. Sheriff.................................................................. M. F. Leach. For all we know, gamblers may be selected for the rest of the ticket. From a public standpoint, we consider this an exceedingly unsatisfactory state of affairs for Tillamook county, and the taxpayers, especially republicans, if they want the county affairs placed in good hands must bestir themselves on Saturday, attend the primaries and vote down this “collusion” and elect delegates favorable to clean men like Eddv, Mason and Aiderman. This is the Headlight’s advice, and republicans will not be making a mistake by following it. This is for the interest of Tillamook county, the taxpayers and the republican partv. Evcrv business man, when he finds in employee that is competent and attends strictly to business, generally retains him, for it is to Ins own interest to do so. It that rule works well in business, why should it not also in politics ? There is one thing a business man will not do, that is to give a grafter a four years’job. Who is to be the next county judge ? To defeat Sappington, anti-Sappington- Maxwell delegates must be elected on Saturday. There is some good timber to choose from, viz., Messrs. II. F. Goodspeed. Jasper Smith, C. N. Drew, etc. Gentlemen, do not make a mistake, nor allow yourselves to be controled and herded like a lot of sheep in the interests of a few men who want to run and rule everybody lor their own aggrandisement Let’s have a little more of the spirit of American independence, and then it will be impossible for incompetent persons, “grafters” ami political hums who cannot run their own business being railroaded through to run county affairs and political parties. Look Out for Simon Money and Simon Lies ! f h <l n I ii The primaries are to be held March 15th, 1902, at one o'clock p.m. It is reported that Joseph Simon will use money in Tillamook County to defeat II.

Protect The Rural Mail Delivery. Resolutions. The rural mail delivery, even in the brief time it has been under trial, has proved such a success that the people look to congress to protect it, however threatened. If congress considers the best interests of the service it will reject the recommendation of the house post office committee for the abolition of the carrier system as at present constituted to make wav for a return to the old plan of star route contracts. The pernicious influence which the contract scheme would have upon rural mail delivery can be readily foreseen. The contractor would, of necessity, be accorded the privilege of subletting his contract, and the selection of carriers I according to their qualifications and fit- j ness would be taken entirely out of the i control of the postoffice authorities. If the requirement were enforced, as now, I that the carrier be a resident along the route which he covers the invariable tendency would be toward either a com bination of the local bidders for the star route contract, with resulting excessive prices on cut-throat competition, prompted by personal jealously that would reduce the cost below its actual value, with a corresponding lowering of the quality of the service. The resurrection of the star route contract system would not only des troy the effect of the civil service rule promulgated by the president, but would, in all probability, through the greater part of the carriers out of employment altogether. Rural mail delivery was welcomed largely because it promised to do away with the remnants of the star routes and the people will not sit idly by while it is subverted for an extention of the very contract system it was expected to cur tail. The rural mail delivery is in essence different only in degree from the city mail delivery but we can easily imagine the outcry that would be raised were it proposed to district all of our cities and let the contract to carry the mail to the lowest bidder. Yet should the present scheme succeed, we might expect this proposition as a logical sequence. According to advices from Washington members of congress who were disposed to look favorably upon the postoffice committee’s recommendation are having their eyes opened to the pernicious con sequences with which it would be ac companied. It ought not to have a sin gle vote recorded for it when it comes tip for action. Postal Bill Is Passed. Hall of Star I/sige. No. 73. A.OU.W., Tillamook, Ore, Match 11th, 1902.

W ashington , March 10—The bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the con tract system, which has been debated in the House for over a week, was passed, t'nlay, but in a form that completly changed the purpose for which it was framed. Before it was passed, the lull was altered radically by its opponents. All the provisions relating to the placing of carriers under the contract system were stricken out and the salary system not only was continued, but the max itnuin salary of carriers was increased from $500 to $600 per annum. A motion offered by Williams (Dem. Ill .). to re commit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment providing for the dismissal from the service of carriers who should use their influence in favor of any party, or for any par ticular candidate, was voted down, 96 to 141. As passed, the bill classifies the rural free delivery service »nd fixes the com pensation ('f employes as follows: Spec ial agents in charge of division, not ex ceeding $2400 per annum ; special agents, four classes, graded from $1300 t<» $1600; route inspectors, four classes, from $900 to $1200. The compensation of carriers is not to exceed $600. Tomorrow the postoffice appropriation bill will be considered__________________ BOULDER CREEK.
