Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1906-12-28

says 10 true that he has already prepar.
cd bill and that IL 10 now 10 his office.
We ask why the matter was not printed
along with other complimentary arti-
cles concerning the Senator in the Con-
don Times. What was there abont the
proposed amendment. Senator, that made
II desirable 70 keep the matter secret7
II seems that the matter was discussed
only among your political friends. The
editor OF the tilobe had talked
with q number of friends
about the adVisability Of requesting Sen.
a,or Bowerman 10 draft such an amend
ment some lev weeks ago but did not
know that no had actually determined
70 introduce the amendment. These
facts We are also willing to verify.
No. 8. That the editor Of the Globe
has not been a resident Of Gillian
county for long enough period TO dis
cuss political questions intelligently
and until about year ago he was liv.
ing of the ge nerosity OF M indulgent
father. In reply TO this fret sta,ament
will say that we have at least lived in
Condor long enough TO know q few
tbiBgs about the Senator's brand Of
politics and during onr short residence
here we have learned that the senator
considers u high treason to oppose
either himself or his obedient flock Of
sheep. AS far as living off the eener-
osiiy Of an indulgent father Is concern
ed we must plead guilty to this grave
charge. For several years the editor
Of the Globe attended college and his
ex penses were paid by his father, which
fact we consider as high compliment
to the father who was willing and allie
to give his son the advantages oi
literary and legal education. Had the
Senator lived of the generosity OF an
indulgent father and improved several
years Of his time acquiring nose thor.
ouah education instead Of deyoting 90
much time in Salem TO ward politics it
would have been more creditable TO him.
No. 0. That the Bowerman
city charter bill was not passed In vain
attempt to square himself with the
liquor interests. The city charter had
the approval. says the Senator. Of bnsi-
ness men Of Condor IN meeting assem- bl-
ed therefore he contends tnat his action
was highly commedable. II the senator
had confined himself to the passage of
the city charter bill and voted with the
liquor interests on all other PROPOSE
tions in the state legislature
he would have been entirely consistent
but II we are correctly informed the
Senator during the same session of the
Legislature voted with the temperance
people on the local option
question. As far as the Globe
is concerned We have no fight to make
against the saloon men Of Condor.
Among them we have friends and as
long Us their business is made legtim-
ate they are entitled to the same con-
sideration as any one else.
No. Z. That the editor Of the Globe
Is liar. That he came to Condor on
an Office hunting expedition. The
fret concerns us but little. We have
been called 80 many Internationally
vulgar names by the Senator when we
were not present that we now consider
him as beneath contempt. We regard
him more as an object OF pity
than one OF scorn, As to the latter
statement we wish to brand as another
Misrepresentation. The spectacle
that Mr.. Bowerman has
made Of himself in the capacity of
State Senator is enough to cure the
desease even II it had existed in the
past, We wish to announce here and
now that we are not looking for politi-
cal fsvors and have no expectation of
becoming candidate for any political
office. We shall however use all hon
orable means to prevent the Senator's
reelection.
No. s, As the party referred to BY
the Senator is now in Portland, we trust
that Mr.. Bowerman will understand
that this article was written
