Harvey Browns statement.
l believe in our new primary law be
cause it gives the people chance to Sc
lect who they want; they are not com
PEELED now to take what the old machine
and bosses put up for them at the old
convention.
Lam Rooseiet republican who in
my opinion is one MN that is strIct y
honest aud one that money does no
tempt and | think it time the republi-
cans of Oregon were turning down the
old machines and bosses and getting in
line with the people because ii they do
NOT they will t.rn them ali down as the
haye evidently done in Portland, and
get men from another party who will do
as the people want done.
The use OF money for campaign pur-
poses, am strictly opposed to, ony as
actual legitimate expenses. Because
people for the right don't put up money
for that purpose but corporations, whole
sale and retailers in unlesitmate busi-
nesses ard mbers will put up money
TO no limit to hold onto and further
their interests in the city. county, state
and United States. And if they don'l
pat up the money and candidate does,
ele generally, as past records will show,
by grating or using pubic money viii
90 wrong, always TO the detriment oil
the party and the people at large. And
here l want to urge the republican party
in every county to nominate the right
kind of men for senators and represent
stives 10 be voted on at the Dext general
election.
Now last Of ali but not least, womaIi
suffrage. l believe in it because if
mother is capable Of raising boy from
the cradle to manhood she Is also capa
Bile Of voting and helping to make law-
help govern he boys after they are men
And if any one in the world nas any H.
'fluence over men for the betterment OF
mankind and good COVE nment it is
good mother, wife, daughter, sister o.
sweetheart, and We will all have to ad-
NIT there is very large mai)rty OF
this kind IN cur glorious Old Oregon, my
native state.
Now as for my record it is here il,
Baker county, from childhood. Aud a.
to my record as sheriff | have done the
best l could f)r the people under the
circumstances and can say l am ont
man tina. is Just as fee today as l wa
the day went in office and l viii! admi
1 an no orator or public speaker but one
of the best single handed takers in THE
county on these subjects and l expec'
some great criticism from our learned
men OF the state.
These few reasons for my platform are
from my own personal expe ience and
is the outcome Of my going into office a.
sheriff of Baker county, determ ned 10
fud out the reason why our laws were |
not enforced and why a maj ,rity OF ali
officers go wrong.
One OF the people,
HARVEY K. BROWN.
