c. A. BARRETT.

c. A. Barrett of Athena, republi-
can candidate for the legislature, is
one of the best business men in east
ern Oregon, having been engaged in
the hardware business at Athena for
many years, being one of the pioneer
business men of Umatilla county. He
is genial, whole-souled gentlman of
sterling qualities as a friend and COM
panion and is known to be faithful
to every trust and confidence both in
public and private life. He is highly
educated, thoroughly competent and
undaunted in courage. In his home
city he has conscientiously devoted his
time and money to the city's welfare
and has identified himself with every
enterprise tending to promote the
prosperity and development of his
home town and surrounding country.
Mr.. Barrett was one of the first
candidates for the legislature who
pronounced himself unqualifiedly for
statement No. l, holding himself un-
der both moral and legal obligation to
vote for the candidate for United
States senator receiving the highest
number of votes of the people, re-
gardless of party affiliations. He ar

CUES that in view of the immense re-
publican majority of this state, IL
democrat should receive the highest
vote of the people, 1t must follow that
his majority would be due to repub-
lican votes and therefore, not only
the votes of the people, but of his
own party as we'll. Men of indepen-
dent thought in every district of
Umatilla county have congratulated
Mr.. Barrett upon this splendid and
non-partisan stand for the rights of
the people. With Mr.. Barrett the peo-
pie are supreme and judging by his
wonderful vote for the nomination, II
is more than fair to conclude that
Mr.. Barrett will receive one of the
highest popular votes ever given to a
candidate for office in Umatilla coun-
ty.
His platform is permanent inn
provement of public highways, better
irrigation laws, flat salaries, public
examiner of accounts and conserv-
atism in legislation.
Mr.. Barrett | also heartily in favor
of and in sympathy with any meas
ures which will improve or benefit
the stock and sheep industries of
Umatilla county and Of the state of
Oregon.

and his success as "vote getter" have
been repeatedly illustrated. He was
elected to the legislature in 1SSS; as
district attorney in 1896, and reflect
ed in 1898; and elected county judge
in 1901. He has also served as city
attorney for three years and in all his
official affairs no complaint has ever
been uttered against him.
Judge Bean has the approval of the
two older justices of the supreme
court, and has the support of the
present circuit judge, w. r. Ellis, of
this district, and of the two eX-judges
]. A. Fee and S. a. Lowell. He also
has the entire support OF the republi-
can attorneys of the district, includ-
ing some of the leading democratic
members of the bar. Lawyers desire
to practice before fair-minded Judge
who knows the law and who Is honest
enough to render opinions fearlessly
and without bias. They like a man
who has great respect for the law
and who will not interpret justice
through any other motive,

ennial convention of the General Fed

ance and an enthusiasm on the part

our other liquor laws, and provides
that this act shall not apply to the
manufacture or sale of liquors at
wholesale by brewers. distillers. vint-
ners or wholesale liquor dealers. So
here would be no possibility of re-
stricting them by the peoples vote.
This one change absolutely nullifies
our local option law The wholesale
dealers could deliver from door to
door or sell from their own saloons
liquid goods by wholesale in spite of
the peoples voice.
This new bill requires that we petit
ton for a precinct vote as days before
the election instead of 30, as i'm the
present law. This is to give time to
colonize voters, to thwart the will of
the residents. Under this bill, when
the election goes against the saloon,
any person can contest the validity of
the election, throwing it into the
courts for months, thus enabling one
to Withstand the will of all, and the
county judge shall have full and final
jurisdiction to hear and determine
the merits of such proceedings, and all
the rights of appeal are denied.
The provision in our present law
made to facilitate its enforcement is
repealed For instance, in local op-
tion territory a physicians prescrip-
tion can only be used once; but the
liquor mems bill changes the wording
of this bill so the same prescription
can be used forever. A double mega
tive adorns their composition, (which
prescription shall NOT be used BUT
once" IS their way of putting it. That
literally means that it must be used
more than once.
If the election goes in favor of the
open saloon the liquor men can open
their saloons the next day. but If the
local optionsts win, they will have to
wait three long months for them to
close their doors. They seem to pro-
vide for a subsequent election in two
years, but by a mean deception, sec
ton 9 Of their bill makes it impossible
to call another election before four
years. It provides that the question
shall only be submitted at the bien-
NAL general election. 1t is known
that at this election many do not get
down to the amendments at all. The
liquor bill proposes to count all these
blanks in favor of the saloon. It is
not enough to have a majority of all
who vote on the question, but a ma
jority of all who vote on anything is
required.
Saloonists Always Win.
Suppose a precinct has 200 voters.
They are voting on two dozen other
questions, but not one of them votes
for the open saloon, and 100 vote to
close it-which side wins? The sa-
loonists, of course. The local option
lists received a unanimous vote, but

ii. j. BEAN FOR JUDGE.
Republican Candidate Has Served the
People I'm Many Public Offices.

One of the strongest men before
the people of Umatilla and Morrow
counties is Henry ]. Bean, republican
candidate for circuit judge. Not only
is he capable to fill the high position
OF Judge of the circuit court. but his
abilities have been tested and are
known by the people. They consider
him an absolutely honest man; one
on whose judgment and fairness they
may rely and whose decisions on the
bench will not be biased by political
prejudice or selfish interests.
Judge Bean was born in Bethel,
Me-, SO years ago and was educated in
the common schools and law schools
of that state, He was admitted to the
bar March Q, 1881, and began the
practice of law in Pendleton three
months later, since when he has lived
here continuously. The confidence OF
the people in his integrity and ability
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-06-02

they will be required by this bill to
have a majority of all the votes cast
at that election. This would set aside
the American principle of majority
rule in Oregon.
But suppose local optionists win.
The bill provides the saloonists 90
days more time, then anyone can con-
test the election, and the county
judge can set aside the will of the
people and reverse the results of the
election. But If he decides that the
election was regular, and that prohi-
bition is in force. then it is found
that with a suggestive solicitude for
the future law breakers, the difficult
ties OF convicting have been multi
piled by the liquor dealers bill and
the penalties are ridiculously Iowa
fine which may be as low as one cent,
and no prison penalty, no matter how
many times convicted. The bill
abounds in these and numerous expe-
dients for curtailing the right of the
majority, when it is against the busi-
ness of the saloon men.
itepeulS ADOut Everything.
Every provision of the kind design
ed to make law enforcement possible
under this act is expressly repealed.
The provisions of section IL of the
proposed law says that sections IL, 13,
II, Is, 16, II and IS of the present.
law, and any acts or parts of acts in
conflict herewith, be repealed. What
are the provisions of our local option
law to be thus repealed in n wholesale
way? That the law when adopted
shall have a two years trial before
another election can be called on it;
that if local option is adopted by n
whole county, no single precinct shall
vote on it for two years: that for the
second offense the violator shall be
both fined and imprisoned; that the
judges of the circuit court shall charge
the grand jury to enforce the provis-
ions, and the district attorney is in
structed to inquire into any violations
of the law; all persons to whom in
toXicating liquors are sold shall be
deemed competent witnesses, thus
simplifying the ordinary rules of evil
derce: the principal shall be respon-
sible for his agents, and the holding
of an internal revenue special tax
stamp from the federal government to
any person for the sale of liquors shall
be prima facie evidence that such per-
son is selling, exchanging or giving
away intoxicating liquors. If this pro-
posed amendment passes we shall
have all of these good provisions
swept away. and we will be unable to
punish any violators of the law and
we shall have rum rule all over the
state, with no legal redress.

The attempt of the liquor dealers of
Oregon to deceive the voters of the
state has been 30 completely unmask-
ed that the friends of our present
local option law will go to the polls
next Monday determined to defeat the
proposed amendment. No one can
read this document and not discover
that It does not give prohibltionists
ana nnti-prohibtionists equal privil-
eges but that 1t IS wholly calculated
to make local option a practical i'm
possibility.
false Argument on Ballot.
Tho initiative and referendum pro-
vidcs that those initiating n bill shall
put their arguments in favor of their
bill before the voters in pamphlet
form and by process indicated in the
law. BY the title of this proposed
amendment an argument is placed on
the face of the ballot itself. Many
voters are apt to be deceived by the
wording of the title of this amend
ment because they have not had a
chance to read and compare the two
laws. The statement. "An amendment
to the local option law giving prohi-
bitionists and anti-prohibitionists
equal privileges is entirely false and
is calculated to deceive and mislead
the voters. That such n statement
be printed on the face of the ballot
and thrust into every mans face as
he stands in the voting booth is little
short of an outrage and the friends
of local option should resent it at the
polls on election day.
Makes Local Option Null.
The present law permits, upon petit
tion of 10 per cent of the registered
voters OF any county of the state, or
subdivision of any county or precinct
Of any county, to vote on the question
OF saloons or no saloons, but the new
bill raises the number of petitioners
to 30 per cent and limits the possibili-
ty of voting to single precincts. To
vote on n constitutional amendment
under the initiative requires per
cent of the voters; 5 per cent can or
der an election under the referendum.
The proposed amendment increases
the required number for a local option
election to six times the number re-
quired, for a referendum vote. By
what rule OF fairness is such a bur-
den put upon the temperance people :?
There are many in every community
who will vote for mo Saloons" who
for business reasons, do not wish to
sign petitions for local option cleo

to increase the ratio of required sign

method of boycotting all petitioners.
