o. A. DEARING. ED. AND BUS. MGR.

Mr.. Veatch, the Democratic
candidate in the First District,
has made himself notorious in
personally urging and permitting
the Democratic newspapers in
support of him to attack his op-
ponent, Mr.. Hermann, for irregu-
Iarities while the latter was in the
public land Office.
The views of the different fac
tions in the Democratic party are
so different, oftimes directly op-
posed, that during political cam
paigns Democratic managers re-
fuse on all occasions to discuss
principles, because, the Demo-
cratic party has no definitely de-
fined principles to discuss. Mr..
Veatch is one of his party who
has held views obnoxious to
large majority of the members
of the Democratic party. Mr..
Veatch dare not discuss his politi-
cal and populistic views in the
campaign, because, if he did he
would drive all conservative Dem
ocarts against him; consequent
ly, he has formulated a series of
attacks against the personal char
acter and integrity of his oppo-
nent, Mr.. Hermann.
There is no one, no matter how
strenuously they oppose Mr.. Her
mann, but who acknowledges
without question that Mr.. Her
mann has been the most efficient
member that Oregon has ever
had in Congress, and that he has
procured for Oregon more bene-
fetal results than any other rep
resentative. Mr.. Veatch, there
fore, is proceeding with a series
of misrepresentation accusing
Mr.. Hermann of wrong because
fhe became out of harmony under
his principal in the land Office,
: but the lack of harmony was oc-
casioned more than anything be-
cause the superior officer, Mr..
Hancock, did not understand the
people, or the nature of the lands,
or their proper available use in
this westesn country.
On the contrary, Mr.. Her
~nann's home is in Oregon and
> he understood perfectly these diff
hcuit questions and so directed
his conduct and recommendations
as to protect the good people of
Oregon Neither the secretary
of the land Office, or any of his
.subordinotes, has ever intimated
either directly or indirectly that
there was any wrong intent, or
of purpose, in the acts of Mr..
Hermann in his conduct of the
General Land Office. On the
contrary, it was Mr.. Hermann
who started the investigation as
to the Benson and Hyde frauds,
now being tried in San Francisco.
It was Mr.. Herrnann's own mo-
ton that all the land entries were
suspended in which the names of
Benson and Hyde were meution-
ed and thereby prevented issuance
'of patents theron, and those en-
'teries are all suspended today wait
ing the result of pending investi-

QaI1OnS. In all OF MI. d61-
mann's annual reports he urged
strenuously upon Congress to re-
peal or modify the law which
permitted so much unjust advan-
tage and grating on the govern
ment in forest lieu lands, selec-
tons whereby worthless lands
were conveyed to the government
and so called script locations
made of the most valuable tim
Der lands in the country. Many
times in the last session of Con-
gress, Mr.. Hermann rose in his
place and publicly denounced the
law, and urged action of Congress
to so modify it as to protect the
public domain. During Mr.. Her
mann's whole career in Congress,
and especially while Commission
er of the General Land Office,
he devoted his best energies for
protection of the honest settler
on the public domain and against
the corporations and script graft
ers who are grabbing all the valu-
able lands fit for home seekers. 1t
was madevery apparent in the last
Congress by some revelations
made, that the unusual cry of
land fraud has been industiously
circulated by corporations, exten-
sive land owners and fraudulent
land grabbers, for the purpose of
repeating public land laws and
preventing the proper amendment
thereof, so that their own lands
would appreciate in value by rea-
son of diminished sales of public
lands. From this the public can
readily understand the existence
of the motive for so much exag-
geration of land frauds and the
attempt to involve and besmear
the good name Of public officials
who uphold protection. of the hon
est settler and save the public do
main. The testimony of Mr..
Maxwell before one of the pub
lie land committees of Congress
two months ago admitted that
various companies contributed to
his association, which advocated
the repeal of those laws, $1,000
each, making $50, 900 a year, so
to bring influence largely along
the lines of making the laws so
as to admit advantages to the land
grabber and to the disadvantages
of the home-buider and the honest
home-seeker. When the people
consider Mr.. Hermann's attitude
according to the facts and that his
life has been spent to promote
the welfare of the common peo-
pie and during his term in the
General Land Office, pitted against
the aggressions of the corpora
tious and land grabbers and op-
posing their efforts, it is plain to
see how these same corporations,
their emissaries and fraudulent
land grabbers have availed them
selves of an opportunity to cry
fraud against Mr.. Hermann, and
it is certainly unfortunate for the
interests of Mr.. Veatch that he is
lending his efforts to wrongfully
accuse so honest, upright and
beneficial public official as Mr..
Hermann who has always served
most efficiently the people as Con-
gresham and public official in
the General Land Office.
