final disruption of the Republican party in Oregon
If he is made governor and his faction has con
troll of the legislature under the same leaders that
in control of the last legislature what have the
people to expect? Some deathbed acts of repentance
and reform? Nothing else, judged by the fruits of
their labors in the last session.
If he is made governor his faction will he in com
pete control of every state institution, and does any
one doubt that they will not them and use the leg
islature to buy senatorship just as they did two
years ago? Would a cat lick cream?
Now what would be the result? Will they abol-
sh fees and perquisites and pass reform measures?
Will they put themselves out of business? Nay
verify
Two years hence the people would face a larger
demand for state taxes there would be a legislature
with worse record than the last there would be Il
state government reduced to the Jack Matthews
stands of politics, an empty treasury and big float
ing debt
The inevitable result would be that there would
be political revolution that would sweep every coun-
ty in the state and annihilate the Republican party.
1t would lose it's congressional delegation and its
United States senator
The whole Republican party would suffer for the
sins Of paltry faction that by deceptions and open
purchases have put Fuwishism in the saddle
If Chamberlain is elected governor all this will
be prevented. The two Republicans will be equally
divided on each of the state boards Mr.. Chamberlain
will hold the balance Of power
He will be able to check extravaganza and keep
order in public affairs. He will veto bad jobs and eX-
travagant legislation He will the people from
the dire effects of a mad faction that has ability
but to grasp and grasp for Doodle
Any man who seeks the extinction Of the Repub.
ican party had better vote to elect Furnish and put
Fulton Browne Kuykendoodle and Jack Matthews
in full and unrestrained power, and have doubt
some radicals and archistic spirits will do that
very thing They argue that to make the dominant
party as offensive and as obnoxious possible and to
drive the people to frenzy by sickenhg them with
dose of Jack Matthews in every detail of their state
is the best way to wipe it out of existence
and they will vote to elect Furnish.
The only way to save themselves from this down
fall is to elect Mr.. Chamberlain governor and get rid
of Mr. Furnish and his faction for all time to come,
The only way to restore party harmony and not
extend the Portland factiona fight, (wherc two fac
tional tickets all there is in the eld) all the
state is to snow Jack Matthews under the drifts of
ballots deep on June 2nd that he will never be
heard of again in Oregon politics,
II the Furnish Matthews faction are defeated in
state affairs but are left in control of the legislature
they will name the next Uuited States senator and pay
all their huslers with federal appointments and be in
position to round up the next state convention with
the federal Office holders just they did the last state
convention.
The way to get rid Of this perncious influence in
state affairs is to defeat their candidate for governor
and take from them the control of the legislature,
With the federal patronage and the Portland Oregon,
ian and Telegram that faction build up and seek
to get control of the state two years from now when
the Republican party will have to he wiped out of
istence to get rid of them
Get rid of them by defeating their nominee
for governor Mr. VIM. j, Furnish, who is really only
Il stakinghorse for the senatorship and the federal
offices under the Roosevelt administration,
The fact that the Jack Matthews faction refuses
to print Gov Geers name their ticket as the regu-
lar Republican nominee for senator proves that the
senatorshp is what they really fighting for They
for the four years federal patronage places
than they do for the state government
II Mr., Furnish is elected it will be notice that
none but rich need apply for the nomination for
governor
The true interests of Republicanism require that
this principle Cor absence of principle and promn-
ence OF the sack should be spit upon.
The methods of the sack that prevail in the legis.
ature in the election of United States senator should
