The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1905-02-11


Once before Oregon republicans
resoluted for Senator Mitchell.
That was right after he was elected
United States Senator for the first
time. w. Lair Hill, in the Ore
gonian had just exposed the exist
ence of the Pennsylvania family.
Joseph Wilson, congressman from
Oregon had died and special cleo
ton was to be held to fill the va
cancy. The republican convention
met at Albany, in the spring of
1872 to name candidate. Friends
of Senator Mitchell feared that an
uncontradicted story of the Penn
sy1vania incident would prevent the
Senator from returning to his seat
at Washington. They demanded
that certain commendatory reso-
lutions be passed by the Albany
convention. Others resisted, and
there was fight on the floor of
the convention. Captain Apper-
son, Benton KILN, Harvey Scott
and others were among the dele
gates. The Mitchellites won, and
the platform carried with it a plank
declaring that Oregon republicans
in convention assembled did not
believe the story about Senator
Mitchell, and that they hereby re-
newed their confidence in his integ-
rity, sobriety and virtue, or words
to that effect. With the adoption
Of the platform a number of stall
warts bolted. When it came time
to nominate, DR.. E. R. Geary,
whom it was expected all along to
be the nominee, declared on the
floor of the convention that he
would not accept the nomination
on such platform. Others were
sought to accept the honor, but it
was not until after much delay that
Hiram Smith, Harrisburg mer.
chant finally ANNOUNCED that he
would accept the nomination and

In its late resolutions of indorse-
ment, the legislature gave Senator
Mitchell all it had to give. In
view of the facts, it gave the Senat-
or great, great deal. President
Roosevelt is known to be behind
the prosecutions that have resulted
in the double Indictment of Senator
Mitchell. This same President
Roosevelt once approved the dis
missal from high position of an
Oregon man, and the republicans
of Oregon at once sent that man to
congress. Binger Hermann cleo
ton under the circumstances was
"a hard slap at the administration.
The administration, now that Mr..
Hermann has been indicted by an
Oregon grand jury, thinks Mr..
Hitchcock ard Mr.. Roosevelt were
right, and that the republicans of
Oregon were wrong as to the late
land commissioner. Now, however,
when President Roosevelt's prose
cutor, especially appointed to push
the land fraud cases. and his grand
jury return indictments against
Senator Mitchell and the state leg-
islature in unmistakable language
heartily inderses Senator Mitchell,
the question becomes, what does
President Roosevelt think about it?
State it as you please, dress up.the
language as you please, this one
thing is true; lin order to indorse
the Senator, the president had to
be slapped; and it is the secoud
| fs1ap Mr.. Roosevelt has received
| from Oregon,republicans. He got
one on the right cheek, and then
he turned the left - and they
didn' do a thing but smite.

Things Done by So1ons, Past and

Mitchell Resolutions.

Salem, February 10. Senator
Walter Pierce OF Pendleton, is a
newly appointed regent of the Ag-
ricultural College. He was named
by Governor Chamberlain for the
vacancy made by the death of J. M.
Church. Senator Pierce is one of
the best known men IL Eastern
Oregon, and incidentally is one of
the brightest members OF the Ore
gon senate. He conducts farm
of several thousand acres in Una
tilla county, and has law practice
in Pend1eton. He was once a
country school teacher, and for a
round dozen years was engaged in
public school work, either as teach
er or principal. He served several
terms as county school superintend-
ent, term or two as county clerk
and is now a hold over senator.
He has accumulated a handsome
competence. and at perbaps'45 is a
success in life. He is afable and
amlaDle, ana is one OF the most
popular legislators now at the cap
ia, as we as one, of the most in
fuential. Geographical reasons
made an Eastern Oregon appoint
ment necessary, and preeminent
qualifications made the selection of
Senator Pierce happy one. The
appointment was made while he
was recommending other residents
of his section for the place. Gov
ernor Chamberlain made the nomi-
nation in response to the request OF
Hon. B. G. Leedy, master of
the state grange, who, with
others, pressed the name of Sen
ator Pierce for the place.

make the race on that platform.
He was named, but he was over
whelmingly beaten in the election
by the late ]. w. Nesmith. Old
time republicans at the Capitol tell
over again the story of the old re-
solutions as they laugh about the
new, which new pronunciamento
went through under stress of being
rider to motion for final ad-
Iournmeflt.

MuRPhY'S OPINION
OF The WEST

Major and Mrs. J. s. Murphy
are home from an extended tour
of the west visi ing Seattle,
Portland. Vancouver. Victoria
and Spokane. They enjoyed a fine
ride On a.. o'4an. Tie Major
states that while the corpora
tions are making all kinds OF
money in the west, such as min
ing, fishing, lumber and rail-
reading, he man of moderate
means has little chance to get
ahead. Indians do most OF the
fishing and sell their fish to the
big companies at 2 cents a pound.
There is not enough fruit raising
and farming done to keep 5 per
cent OF the people OF the coast
states. OF course, the Orient
and Alaska will build up the west
and somewhere there is to be a
second New York, perhaps it will
be San Francisco which already
has half a million population. At
Vancouver, they enjoyed 9 drive
thru Stanley park, nine miles
around, which has natura! trees
over 400 fee5 in height. People
there live principally from the
tourists.
