Because he is a native born citizen of the United States; forty-eight years old; in the prime of life and a type of the younger and progressive element in the republican rarty.

B. degree in 1878; admitted to the bar in 1881. Has always taken an active in terest in public affairs. Was elected mayor of Baker City in 1891, re-electad in 1892, and again in November 1904 by the largest majority any candidate ever received for that office. In June, 1905, was elected school director for the fourth consecutive term and received every vote cast. Has always taken an active, personal interest in educational affairs. He has never held a political office. He has the support and endorsement witliout*regard to party of practically every business in Baker City. Is quali fied by nature, learning and experience to fill that position, lias never been a factional man ; is not a factional candi date and would not be a factional gov ernor. Has always been a republican and a loyal supporter of its ticket and principles. His nomination would bar nionize and unite the party and insure the election of a republican governor. He is tile chice of easieni Oregon, which in the congressional election of 1904 cast nearly seven thousand votes more than Multnomah county. Baker ccunty is one of the largest in Eastern Oregon, and in its whole history lias never received any political recognition by the repub lican party, either slate or federal, by election or appointment. Charles A.

He is recog nized as one of the leading lawyers of the state, and as a campaigner lias no superiors and but few equals in the state of Oregon. No man ever bad a strong er home endorsement. O regon .
