Newspaper Page TextDAILY CAVirAh JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15. 1008 a Political Page-Primary Election On April 1 SCOTT REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS County Judge Replies to Some Mote of M. L. Jones and W. W. Hall' Mis-Repeseatatons Ptfiicttff e I do not doslro to have any news paper notoriety, but Inasmuch ns JIoaBru. M. L. Jones and W. W. Hall 2tavo Been fit to attack my character and public record as county Judge, I Seei it my duty, not only to my c3Jt but to tho taxpayers of Marlon ?onnly, to cjtplodo "their mis-representations. I have been taking but little part In tho campaign and -would havo token no part at nil had not Messrs. Jones and Hall ropoatcdly nttneked mv record and reputation. I havo matter? Tho "taxpayers are en titled to know and. if Micro has been nny neglect or graft upon my part I should bo Boveroly censured and. punished. In tho end that JubUco bo dond to all, 1 urgo that n committee of roprcsontatlvo taxpayers, In whom tho people havo implicit confidence In their ability and Integrity, go to tho court boniso at onco and ascer tain what tho facts aro concerning tho matter. This should bo dono nt onco so (that tho peoplo throughout talked politics with but fow peoplo! tho county might know tho truth of In tho county and moBt of thorn ap pronchod mo upon tho subject. It h quite natural that I would not support Mr. Hall bccniiHO ho fools vory blttor ngalnHt 'mo and fought mo hoforo nnd nftor I was nominat ed for county Judgo four yonro ago nnd klokod up u row nbout having Ills books oxportod when ho wns tho county clerk and wont Into court nnd caused tho taxpayers of Marlon county to pay extra monoy to tho oxporls on account of loss of time and causod tho county court to havo sovoral oxtra sessions In order to hIiow that ho was In the wrong. It tlld not take Judgo HoIho but n fow mlnutoa to convince him that ho had no Blandlng In court. Moroovor, Mr. Hall was recently tolling 4 ho peoplo through tho press nnd other wise that he wived the county many thousand dol'arH when acting an tho purchasing agent for tho county. Ho was appointed purchasing agent by -tho county court' a fow months bo foro Mr. Noedham and I enmo Into olllco, but Boon nftor wo took cburgo of four rospoctlvo oIHcob Mr. Hull enmo Into court and nHkod to bo ro- tho mattor. If their statements are true, Buch an Investigation Is duo J-ho taxpayers of .tho county. If they bo false, such nn Investigation is duo mo. Tho fnot 1b, wo havo a splondld record of all road oxpondl turos showing Just whore every dol lar has boon oxpondod, what It was expended for, and who rocolvod the money. Tho Idon wan suggosted by myself, and, I dnre say, that no othor county in the state has wich a coiiciso and nccurnto system of kooplng Its road cxpondlturo3, ac count of tool and mnohlnory pur chased. Judge Handle No Money. . No monoy la handled by mysolf uxuopt my salary snvo a fow dollars orcaslonaly rcrelvud upon tho snlo of old lumber or other umall articles which havo been Immediately turned Into tho county trouHury, of whluh tho record will boar mo out. Thoso small Items might havo boon put down In my pockets hnd I do- slrod to do so, but I am not making my money In any such way and I horoby challcugo nnd dofy Mr. Jonas, Mr. Hull, or nny ono else, to leading tho people in trying to ln Juro my character. Nothing else could bo his motive because ho has conceded his defeat somo tlmo ago but takes this opportunity to try and Injur a mo In this, bis last po litical struggle Aflldavit Explained. The fact is) Mr. Beall, of Boall & Company, asked mo when I went East to go by his factory to see fho many kinds of road machinery that they wore making. I told him that I had a round trip ticket by way of Now Orleans, 'and that I could not go off my lino to visit his factory, which was near Chicago; ho said ho would bo glad to got mo transporta tion from Washington, D. C, to Chicago, If I would go to .tholr fac tory. He stated that la Is one way of advertising tholr goods. I told him I would go upon such condi tions. Tho day beforo I was to start Mr. Wlnstnnloy cnlled mo up by phono nnd stntod that Mr. Beall had to go to Spoknno on urgent buslnoBS nnd instructed him to Inform mo that ho could not purchase trnnspor tatlon nt this end of tho line from Washington D. C, to Chicago, Mr. John 'Wlnstanley Is .now boII-' lng road mchinery for himself and Is soro because ho could not sell to us, rond machtnory that wo consid ered far inferior to that iyhlch we purchased from Beall & Company, who havo furnished, I daro say, 00 per cent of all road machinery that has been sold to all the counties in tho stntos of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Beall & Company has, In my Judgment, taken as a whole, tho best lino of road making ma chinery that Js now upon tho mar ket. Mr. Jones cries "court house ring." Well, that Is an old story that Is usually resorted to when a candidate feels' bis weakness and ho wants to do tho "baby act." If ho rofcrs to tho present county offi cers, ' It wo.uld be woll for him to get that kind of a "ring" behind him for tho reason Marlon county never had a hotter Bot of ofllcors nor a hotter county government than It Is now enjoying, many of whom I havo not oyon montloned politics to, directly or Indirectly, but their actions In this campaign will simply bo prompted by good Judg ment nnd honest motives. Illch Man Wants ontcc. Tho peoplo of this county aro wondering what Mr. Jones wants to bo county Judge for with all his wealth. If ho wants to bo a gront benefactor of Marlon county, lot him cut up his two thousand acres of laud and sell ltIn small tracts and lot ono hundred families resido upon It, whorons now thoro Is but one, and not bo trying to toar somo othor porson's character down who Is trying to live nn honest llfo, that I CANDIDATES CARDS I (Cards of county candidates 95.
