Mr.. Coou,s Position on Leading Questions

am informed that certain unscrnpu-
lous parties are making use of false
statements as to my position on local
matters, hoping thereby to mislead
some voters and induce them to cast
their ballots against me for mayor.
My position on the saloon question
has been, and is fully understood by
my friends who have unanimously
placed me in nomination. | am one
of those who besought the city council
during the last year to hold fast to the
provisions of the charter, and refuse to
grant licenses except upon an "actual
majority"
The most active supporters of the So
called republican and taxpayers ticket
at this time are parties who secured an
ordinance permitting the granting OF
licenses upon the petition of twenty
voters, under which ordinance licenses
were actually granted last year. AS
| this ordinance seemed in conflict with
the charter, it was repealed or changed
so as to agree with the terms of the
charter, and as it now stands should
certainly favor granting a license only
on petition signed by an actual ma
jority of the voters of Hood River.
should say that any one claiming
to be an American citizen and no an
archist, would be- willing to abide by
majority rule. But we have some
among us who dislike to he bound by
this most fundamental principle in all
good government. Is it not time for a
majority rule ticket to be put up? AS
for me, the law and the majority that
makes it must be respected Each
voter is responsible for The condition
of things which he votes for. | be-
lieve in progress, and have an ardent
hope that this city shall break the
usual record of young and growing
cities, in making it NOT only prosper
pus, but a good place for law-abding,
selfrespecting people to live in. Let
us build the town up, not down. Let
us prevent johbing ana scbeming of all
kinds. H. will be noticed that the
schemers are not supporting the ma
jority rule ticket, and am able to say
that the ticket is not in the interest of
any scheme or combination whatso-
ever, Our ticket is correctly named.
| believe in calling things by their
right names. Let no man be deceived.
Let the voters choose what they want,
and ifI go in as mayor shall do all in
my power to see that majority rule
prevails on all other questions as well
as license. T. r. COON.

Homeseekers at Alamosa.

Alamosa, Colo, June 27-Fifty -one
home seekers arrived in Alamosa
this morning from points in Nebraska
and Iowa for the purpose of thoroughly
investigating the soil near this place.
They were driven into the country
southwest of Alamosa and some few
of them are at Monte Vista, but as
the land owned by the Southern Colo
RADIO company close to Alamosa is now
being put under irrigation by large
artesian wells there is no doubt that
many of these newcomers will invest
their money here, where crops raised
from now on will be a certainty.
S. T. Amber, manager of the
Southern Colorado Land company,
says that over 300 families living in
Nebraska are anxious to locate in the
San Luis valley if beet sugar
factory can be assured them.

THURBER's TESTIMONY FALLS FLAT
The testimony Of Mr.. Thurber yesterday has
not had the effect either hoped for or alleged
by the opponents Of the administration A big
force Of War Department clerks is at work
copying all the reports Of receipts and expenol-
lures brought by General Wood from Cuba and
this Will show in detail where every cent OF the
public funds of the island went under MS
charge X will be shown that all Of the money
allowed by General Wood for the work done ny
Mr. Thurber expended for literature ana
hostage in promoting in this country the propa-
ganda for Cuban reciprocity. None or IL was
used for any illegftimate purpose Whatever ana
not a dollar of it came to Washington to infiu-
ence legislation. No effort has been MADE at
any time either here or at Havana. TO conceal
the fact that appropriations of small amounts
of the public funds OF Cuba were made TO bring
before the people of the United states the ur-
gent necessity of bringing the island into close
commercial relations with this country. Every
thing done in this direction is Of public record,
and will be laid before Congress as soon as me me
clerical work now in progress at the War De-
partment is completed.
OF course the agents of the beet sugar lobby
maintained at Washington by the Oxnards ever
since the opening Of Congress profess 20 be
vastly pleased by what they call the disclos-
ures'' made by Mr. Thurber. Some of the Re
publican leaders now think il advisable both in
the interest Of reciprocity and public morality
TO start an Investigation to discover if possible
how much money has been spent here and else
where IN the country by the beet sugar lobby
Difficult though this undertaking would be, 1t
is believed that il would result in benefit to
every interest involved. Most of the agents OF
the lobby are well known, and II Is thought
that valuable information could be secured from
some Of them. However. in view Of the fact
that the reciprocity fight will he won. and that
an early adjournment OF Congress is earnestly
desired by both houses. 1t is proba bic that no
investigation of the work OF the beet sugar
