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

Mr. Jones stated In his circular

could Iikvo bean bulk for $200.00.
I wish to state that the cont mo
