The "Hayseeds" aro making no flowery' pledges. They are standing Ann and quiescent upon a record of promises faithfully fulfilled. Only the taxpayer can dislodge them. The platform of the Non-Partisans reads as follews: "We have kept tho city within her Income for four years, and will do It for two years more, If the eople say so." advancing property values, and the preservation If so, they will vote the ticket beaded by Mayor Blab-op.

If they could, the Repub lican city campaign begins with slurs and Insinuations against Mayor Bishop Recorder Judah. Aldermen Burro and Biggs. When men' who confess they have been very bad, by now promising to be very good, can find no better argument than iauendo. are they not hypocritical In their profes sions of moral reform? It would make the most sedate old horse on Salem's streets laugh to hear City Chairman Kbe IaFore talk about "star chamber" proceedings by the ! Cltisens' committee. Bbe knows what "star chamber" acta are, but, unfor tunately, won't tell what he knows about such things. The Kon-Partisan tlckot was NOT nominated In a back room by a hand ful of self-selected citizens, but a group of representative taxpayers of Salem, 100 strong. In open convention, In the police court room, at the city hall, on Monday night, November 24, 190!. It It not what the Push promises to do, this week; but what they will do In the way of city government, during the coming two years, that Is of mo ment to the taxiiayers of the city of Salem. This city has made more Improve ment In the past two years than for ten years !efore. Do the young men want to cast their votes for the con tin- The push campaign committee, with Bbe LaFore at the head of It, says, by way of Insinuation, "Of course, figures don't He. but Mr. Judah 's political statements certainly are peculiar." Mr. Judah has made no political state ments. He has compiled the city records, and those figures strike ter ror to the push management. Truly, they were different when Ebe was in the council. Voters have two Hayseed proposi tions before them the Would-be's and the Real Thing. Which will you take? The Citizens stand on a business plat form of real achievement and things accomplished. The Would-be's have put lots of Hayseed and Populism In their platform, put up two men for city officers who have not been Republi cans for years, and then denounce the Citizens as Dolly-Vardens. You get a dose of reform either way, but don't let the political drug store manager hand you a package and toll you "It's Just as good," when you call for your tlckot next Monday. No substitution, gontlemen. The alleged Republican ticket con tains the namos of men who are re spected all over the city, and against whom the non-'tartlsans will make no personal fight except In the matter of Individual public records; but the ob ject for which they are In the field, namely to re establish a partisan polit ical machine, is the danger signal at Tho Republican city platform Is sevore on "the man who has money Invested In brick blocks, and employs no labor, etc." The men who have erected brick blocks the past year have employed a great deal of labor, and to put them under the ban of a political party is carrying things too far. It Is anarchy, pure and simple. The men who erect brick blocks are business men, and do employ labor If It had not been for their willingness to invest their money In brick blocks, and employ labor, it would not have put common labor at such a premium that all kinds of workers were, for the first time in the history of the town, able to organize labor unions. To at tack the men who erect brick blocks, even by political Inuendo, may do for a joke, but it Is not fair and manly (Continued on elgtli page i MEN AND BOYS' OUTFITTERS Before partaking of our Thanksgiving Jturkey we pause for a moments rejection.

Jeurnal: In reviewing the work of the Republican city convention on Wednesday evening some old familiar faces are recognised, and It is inter esting to look Into the work of the convention, as well as the personnel that constituted It. Who was chairman of tho conven tion? Why the young man who . few years ago was condemned by a legis. latlve coramltteo for doing the state binding In a very poor and expensive manner, and as a result of that work the secretary of state has ever since been ordered to have that work done In tho competitive market. Tho young man may havo some good qualities, but this Is his public record. The nominee for mayor again ap pears in an unfortunate connection. Mr. Joe Baker was in the good old days sheriff of Marion count, and since then has beea considered among the rich men of the town. He had the misfortune when the Williams & Bag. land bank went under of being bonds roan for the city treasurer, whose funds were In the bank. What did he do, settle like a man? No, he deliber ately told the city In so many words that to collect that amount from him It would coet them IS00 for litigation. He then proposed to pay if they would throw off the $600. This the push council did. and paid a good. round lawyers' fee iu the bargain for the privilege of eompromisinc a collectable claim against a rich man. But what was the sequel? Baker later collected every cent of the city money from the receiver of the bank, and got interest in the bargain And this is not all of Mr. Baker's misfortunes. He is how placed in nomination for mayor by a man v. ho has, among other things, a very unsavory bonk connection, Wa, Gherrington, and who, when president of the school board, so fixed things Repairing Neatly Done.

While in the council at one time he was In charge of street work Abouta,!! he did was to build a good street o n the two sides of his reel, dence, in the extreme eastern suburb of the city, place an electric light on his corner, and has ever since been a populist shouter.

To cap the climax the campaign of this aggregation is placed in the hands of that immaculate pillar of purity, Ebe LaFore, who was enthusiastically chosen as chairman of the city central committee, and will look after tho lit tle matter of getting the floaters and hobos to the polls. 'He will probably be hired to stir paint that he sells at $2 a day, when Judge Hubbard, as councilman, lets a contract to paint the city ball, as he did the court house some years ago. He will be a handy man to have around in more ways than one. He has been there, and knows lots of things about city affairs that most of our citisens don't, and never will know. Perhaps he was put into power to redeem the second ward, which he used to carry in his vest pocket, until he was cleaned out throe to one, and that was two years before the citisens' movement was started. Besides som of the persons men tioned, the convention was pushed by such saints as Doc Smith, who told on the Marlon county stump that he woald fight normal school appropria tion, and then voted these Institu tions more money than they ever had before. Ad Dilley, who was the no torious city marshal for several terms, also bad a finger in the pie. Bd. Bdes would no doubt have been there bad he been in town, but If the)- had nom inated him there for recorder they could not have put that plonk against a third term into their platform, as this same crowd gave him the nomi nation four times.
