WARFARE
ON MACHINE
POLITICS IN OREGON
Abolish Half a Million of the Aggregated Grafts and Put the
Money on State Highways Convict Labor Would Keep
Main State Highways in Perfect Orde.
(MBDFOHD fcUN, JULY 29.)
HOFER DECLARES WAR ON MACHINE. ,
"I mean what I say when I declare myself an anti-machine
candidate; I mean by that, if I am elected governor,
I shall fight the old rotten political machine in Oregon from
top to bottom," said Colonel E, Hofer, of Salem yesterday,
"The people have elected democratic governors in Oregon six
teen years out of twenty-four simply because they wanted
a man in thai office to veto the encroachments of the ma
chine, For instance, the machine has several times tried to
repeal the Australian ballot law and the Democratic Governor
has had Jo interpose his veto, The machine wants a Gov-,
ernor who will ratify its raids upon progressive measures,
"I wrote a book ten years ago in favor of the direct
primary law, I was one of a commission appointed by Gov
ernor Geer to draft a direct primary law and it was rejected
by the legislature, Then the initiative and referendum was
adopted, The first law initiatiated was the direct primaiy
law, and it was enacted by( the people,
"I am the only private citizen who is a candidate for Gov
ernor, every other candidate being an office holder, How
can the people check grafts or expect reforms unless they
take up a man who stands for clean politics on the outside?
Participants in the game or benificiaries of the system, can
not be expected to reform political abuses in Oregon, The
reform has to oome through the law, by a man from the out
side, strong enough to make the predatory element stand
back,
"Our state government has been too much conducted in
the interest of the official class that has dictated terms to
the legislature, Two-thirds of all the bills in the legislature
were bills to raise salaries of men who took office at a
stipulated sum, A Democratic Governor vetoed ' some of
them, but they were passed over his veto, A Republican
Governor should be elected because that would fix responsi
bility on the Republican party, Now it escapes responsibil
ity because they say, 'The Democratic Governor is playing
politics, Let us jtess it over his head,' ,
"That whole system has got to be destroyed, A' higher
consciousness is taking possession of the people in these
matters and members of the general assembly who create
udicial districts in order to have them filled by their law
wtners, deserve to be rebuked in some emphatic manner
)y the election of a governor who will in his message, de
nounce these practices,
"I am going to make a state campaign against the, aggre
gated grafts that have been practiced in the legislature and
imposed upon the people through the legislature by their
hired men who ought to be their servants and not their
dictators,
"I shall make a fight tor state highways on the Washing
ton plan, Briefly stated, the state of Washington geograph
ically a duplicate of Oregon is aiding counties to build hgh
ways and is employing convict labor on the highways, None
of these things are done in Oregon, which things we must do
if we want to keep up in the race of development, At least
'200 convicts could be worked in Oregon in preparing crush
ed rock and road material, The railroads could be made to
distribute this material at nominal prices and it should be
placed on the highways under a system in which the coun
ties and the state would co-operate, We will not reach re
sults in the solution of the good roads problem without put
ting the whole power of the state back of the proposition,
Our state Is too large for the counties all unaided to build the
highways that are needed for its proper development, We
are getting more railroads than any state on the coast, Our
fruit industry is growing more rapidly than any other state,
We are better advertised in the east than any other stato,
Our cities are building ud voiy irapidly and the only way to
develop the farming portions of our state is by the construc
tion of first class macadamized highways that can be trav
eled summer and winter, Fbr every dollar expended $10 in
wealth will be added to the state, We need a state highway
north and south, for instance, from Ashland to Portland,
We need at least two main highways across central Oregon
oast and west, We need one from southern Oregon across
to Klamath Falls and through Lako county to Nevada to open
that country, A state highway should be built from Portland
to Tillamook, Wo need one from Roseburg to Coos Bay, We
need one from Medford to Crater Lako and Klamath Falls,
Wo will never get any of those highways until wo -mako it a
I approve of Progressive Republican Policies advocated 4

state issue and put the state government back of the proposi
tion, I want a state highway bill put through the legislature
the first week it is in session with a sufficient appropriation
to begin work immediately, I want a satte highway com
mission with power to employ convict labor, We have put
up appropriations all the way from $100,000 to $750,000 for
world fairs jn different carts cf the United States, We now
want a state appropriation for state development on broad
lines by the construction of state highways, A member of
the supreme court'informed me personally that a state ap
propriation tor that purpose, o
terms could now be successful
the Salem hog with the injunc
pen to every county on equal
y carried out by anyone, and
ion habit would for once have
to stand beak and could not block the development of the
state, I think each county should be given an opportunity
to secure at least one state built highway by putting up its
portion of the expenses wherever it should on the basis of
the traffic within the county compared to the state traffic
About 25 per cent of traffic over a highway would be county
traffic, Three-fourths of the traffic over a state highway
would be state traffic and the state should pay for that, not
the county, It is not fair to make the abutting property build
state highways because all lands abutting on a state highway
would advance from 100 to 500 percent in value and would
be taxed accordingly for all time to come,
"I believe that a trained journalist makes the most effi
cient public servant and people in various states are making
the discovery that a first class newspaper man makes a
good governor, Ex-President Roosevelt's use .of the news
papers illustrates that, Governor Carroll of Iowa is a news
paper man, Victor Murdock, the leader of the house insurg
ents and promulgator of progressive policies, is a journalist
He learned how to fight public issues to success in the
newspaper office, Ben Lindsey's great victory at Denver
was accomplished through magazine and newspaper public
ity, put in shape by himself with the assistance of a trained
newspaper man of the fighting variety,. I believe that the
trained newspaper man is best suited to turn the light of
publicity on graft conditions and other conditions -within the
state for the Benefit of the people and the welfare of the
Republican party, I believe that it is the duty of a member
of the Republican party or any other political party who is on
the square, to criticise his own party or any member thereof
when he knew they deserved such criticism, and one of the
first duties of a governor is to veto bills even though they
passed by a majority in both houses when he btlieves such
bills to be inimical to the public interest,"
Asked to state his position with relation to the assembly,
Colonel Hofer stated thta he was a candidate for the nomina
tion before the state primaries, but that if Bowerman, tho as
sembly nominee, should get the primary nomination he would
support the nominees,
