NJ, Y. george, with his boasted legis-
lative experience, introduced ten bills
in the State Senate in 1876, and got
two passed into law. What would he
be able to do il sent to Congress, where
he would meet both Legislative expert.
ence, skill and ability7 Simply moth
ing. Out Of fifteen bills introduced by
him in 1878 .toar only became laws,
and yet Mr.. George claims that Mr.
Whiteaker never introduced bill in
tho Oregon Legislature, which Of course
is false. Mr.. Whiteaker has boen
Speaker or President all, or nearly oil
tho time he has been in the Legislature,
and would not introduce bills. Ii Mr.
George supposes that he can get votes
for himself by misrepresenting Mr.
Whiteakcr, whom the people have
known 10 long and 30 WE'LL he will find
when IL is too late that lie has made a
woful mistake
Mr.. George, the Republican candi-
date for Congress, tells the people that
Mr.. Whiteaker never introduced bill
inrthe Oregon Legislature during the
whole length Of time that he served in
that body. Mr.. George has wilfnlly
attempted to deceive and mislead the
people, as lie certainly has not forgotten
his own earnest attempt to defeat Sen
ato bill No. Z, introduced by Mr..
Whiteaker in 1876, and whicl. was
passed by the Senate despite the efforts
made by Mr.. George to defeat it. (See
page $40, Senate journal, 1850 In
that same session Mr.. George intro.
duced ten bills, and after giving them
the support Of his time and talent he
succeeded in getting two Of them passed
into law. His bills were opposed and
voted down by farmers and mechanics,
who, while they made no claim to legis.
latyc experience or ability, yet knew
how TO vote in the interest of the peo-
pie whom they represented.
In the last Legislature Of Oregon q
bill was introduced TO reduce an exor
bitant fee Of twenty dollars allowed
district attorneys for mere appearance
in divorce cases, when no service in fact
is performed. This bill was in the in.
tcrest Of the people, but Mr.. George
Republican candidate for Congress
with his usual disregard Of the interests
Of the people, voted against the bill
while Dir. Wbiteaker, with hia usual
watchfulness after the interests Of the
people, voted for tho bill. (See pags
227, Senate Journal, 1879
In 1876 bill Senate bill No. o.
was introduced to create another Judi
eial District, and thus create another
official for the people to pay out of theil
hard earnings, As usual, Dir George
voted for the bill, while Mr.. WhiteAkei
voted against It. (Sce Senate Journal
1876, page 4o6.) The people want i
friend in Congress, and hence win elec'
Mr. Whitcakcr.
At the last session Of the Legislator,
a Joint Resolntion-H. J. Il. No. I2-
was introduced providing for an amend
ment TO the constitution 30 A. TO let the
public printing to the lowest bidder
This was introduced in the interest o
reform by cutting down public ex
penses. Mr. George, Republican can
didate for Congress, voted against It
while Mr. Whiteaker voted for it, and
the people will not forget him on the
9Th Of June Tor thus looking after their
interests (Sec Senate Journal, 1873
page 23l.) Mr.. George voted for Sen
ate bill No. 72, for the relief Of the 30
cutities of S. i. May, former Secretary
Of State, who had squandered large
sums of public fnrds, while Mr.. White
aker, who thought Mr.. May should be
made to disgorge, or that his securities
should do 30 for him, voted against the
bill. (See Senate Journal, 1876, page
1907 The people will remember this
when they come to vote, and cast then
ballots for Mr.. Whiteaker.
