CARL HABERLACH,
The Best Hotel.
IS GOOD MATERIAL FOR
GOVERNOR.
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. Is a pioneer fo Ore
gon, having resided twenty-nine years
in the Willamette valley and eigliteeen
years in Baker City. Graduated from
the Willamette university with an A. 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. Jones lias been a man of
affairs in the history of the state and
Eastern Oregon in particular; his in
tegrity lias never been questioned; he
lias a clean record and the Hupport and
confidence of the people. 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.

Of the various candidates in the field
for the republican nomination for Con
gressman from the First District, there
is not the .lightest doubt that for ability
and general fitness for this important
position Hon. Walter L. Tooze, of Mar.
ion county, stands head and shoulders
above any of his opponents. He ie one
of Oregon’s most brilliant statesmen; is
clean and honest, and has the energy
and influence to successfully accomplish
anything he goes after. Mr. Tooze has
made a complete success of his private
business, which is a sure sign that he
would also make an ideal congressman.
