MIR. Smith has been staunch Re
publican since he cast his maiden
vote in 1860 for Abraham Lincoln
He is one of the 16 surviving mem.
bers of the California legislature OF
1864 and 1865. On the recommen-
dation Of Hon. William H. Seward
he was appointed secretary of Wash
ington territory in 1866, and took
part in the deliberations of the coun-
ell Of the territory.
In 1876 Mr.. Smith established
residence at Hood River, where he
still lives. His capacity for busi.
ness organization soon made itself
manifest in Eastern Oregon, and
this, together with his devotion tc
the interests of the community OF
which he was a member, led the Re.
publicans of Wasco county, in 1888.
to nominate him by unanimous vote
as representative to the state legisla-
ture. He became speaker Of the
house in the session Of 1889. Dur
ing that session he secured, with the
assistance of his colleague, f. O.
Mccoy, the passage of bill through
the house appropriating 100000 for
construction of portage road
around the rapids at Cascade Locks.
Fifteen years ago, when the organ
ization called the Columbia River
Waterway Association was founded,
composed of delegates appointed by
mayors and county courts, Mr.. Smith
was elected as president of the body
and served with eminent success for
three years. Meetings Of this asso-
citation were held at Portland, Asto-
ria, Vancouver and other principal
cities throughout the state. Mr..
Smith has always taken a prominent
part in national irrigation. He at
tended the national irrigation con-
gress at Ogden, Utah, and El Paso,
Texas, and was chosen along with
Governor Pardee, of California, Gov
ernor Morrison, Of Nevada, and Sen
ator Newlands, Of Nevada, to make
one of the replies in the formal ad-
dress Of welcome. He was elected
one of the vice-presidents at large
and as such was instrumental in Sc
curing the meeting of the national
irrigation congress recently held at
Portland, where he was reelected
vice-president.
! For the past five years Mr.. Smith
has been commissioner at large and
chairman Of the Oregon state board
of horticulture He is also president
of the Oregon Development League
and the Northwest Fruitgrowers' AS
sOciatlon, and no one man in the
State of Oregon has done more for
horticulture in this state than Mr..
Smith. He belongs to the staid ele-
ment Of the Republican party, is one
!, of its most aggressive members and
eloquent speakers. At the Lincoln
Day banquet at Portland, Oregon,
April 2 of this year, his address and
that of Hon. George H. Williams
were especially noteworthy.
Mr.. Smith was one of the McKin-
ley presidential electors in 1896, and
in the campaign which followed he
delivered speeches in behalf of Pres
ident Mckinley throughout the
state.

The Proclaimer is not in any sense
of the word political organ, believ-
ing that the interests of our state can
best be subserved by the selection of
Jour best citizens to fill our important
offices. And yet, all things being
Iequal, we stand for the principles of
the Republican party.
How then can we do otherwise
than heartily espouse the cause Of
Hon. f. l.. Smith for L. S. Senator?
He is easily the first citizen of Ore
gon, a Republican to whom his party
owes an immense debt, an able and
clean man-and if our people do
their duty he will be elected.

PLATFORM OF MR.. SMITH.
NATIONAL MATTERS.

Mr.. Smiths political platform il
the Republican platform. AS can
didate before the people of the state
he is content to be bound by the his
torical and fundamental principles
of his party.
He is in accord with our great Re-
publican president in his purposes
TO regulate by appropriate laws
corporations doing an interstate busi-
ness, as well as all Others that are
within proper federal control.
To regulate railroad rates by an
effective law which shall be fair to
the shipper and to the railroads.
To regulate injunctions in labor
disputes as well as in other disputes
so as to prevent an abuse of that
great power by the courts.
TO regulate the national revenue
system, so as to make it as stable as
possible, while adjusting the tariff
with regard to the interests of all
sections and industries.
To allow unobstructed commerce
between this country and the Phil
ippine islands, to the end that our
own people as well as the inhabitants
of the islands may be benefited by
the exchange of trade ! tween them.
He is in favor of the early COM
pletion of the Panama canal, as II
will be not only of great national
importance, but of peculiar benefit
to the people Of this coast, shorten
ing the route of our commerce by
many thousands of miles.
He favors such immigration laws
as shall insure now and forever here
after the maintenance of the stand
ard of American labor, American
homes and American citizenship. As
he believes that the permanent pop
ulation of this country ought always
to be composed of such native and
naturalized citizens as can apprecl-
ate and preserve the original prin-
ciples on which this government is
founded, he believes that immigra-
ton laws ought to be strictly but
fairly and justly enforced, neither
excluding those who should be ad-
mitted, nor admitting those who
should be excluded.
He is in favor of keeping the pub
lie service pure by rigid inspection
of the conduct of all public officers
and by the swift punishment of all
delinquents found guilty of grating
or dishonesty.

STATE MATTERS.

In regard to matters that affect
especially the people of Oregon, Mr..
Smiths platform is his own per-
sonal record. He has been foremost
for years in the promotion of large
public interests and enterprises of
the state, including agriculture, hor-
ticulture, irrigation and transporta-
ton. He can only promise in the
larger field and in a public capacity
to use the same knowledge and dis
cretion and energy that have been
exemplified heretofore in his private
end public career.

a SENSATIONAL LETTER.
lone Morrow Coz Proc1aimer.


a letter was recently received by
one Of Ione's citizens in substance as
follows: "Thc commercial interests
of Portland are desirous that s
of this city, be elected to the United
States Senate. Mr.. * is the kind
of a man Oregon needs at Washing
ton. He has long been identified
with the movement for state devel-
opment and is thoroughly imbued
with the Greater Oregon spirit.
"In addition to this Mr.. is
staunch Republican, man of tact,
integrity and ability, and we ear
nestly request that you render him
all the assistance in your power at
the primaries.
"1 ours very truly,
"Mark, Levy & Co."
This wholesale firm has a right to
support whomsoever they may de-
sire and to write any letters they
wish, but why is this? Back of it alb
is something covered up. What is it?
Why are the Commercial interests"
so deeply Interested?
This state wants a man for SEN
ator deep enough and broad enough
and fair enough that he will not stop
at the Commercial interests" but
will do justice to call interests" So
far that man who aspires to the NOM
ination on the Republican ticket who
possesses this element in superla-
tive degree is Hon. E. L. Smith, Of
Hood River. He is a farmer and
fruit man, not a lawyer, nor "com-
mercial man" to look after the "com-

COOKED IN THE STREETS
FOOD OF 800, 900 PERSONS AT SAN
FRANCISCO.

MAJ. Gen. Greedy today made the follow
ing report to the War Department in re-
gard to conditions in San Francisco:
While conditions improve slightly, the
miserable situation may be indicated by the
statement that all the food for 100000 peo-
pie in San Francisco is yet necessarily
cooked on the public streets. Difficulties
about fuel arising, but the courage OF every
one continues wonderfully good. Neither
drunkenness nor disorder anywhere evident,
except occasionally from adjacent towns.
where local saloons are open. Mayor
Schmitz still adverse to closed saloons,
which have been constantly urged by me.
The Red Cross finance committee, Dr.
Devine and myself concurring. free food
will be issued after Saturday next only
alternate days except in camps under
strictly military control. Red Cross agents
to be present on alternate days Of nom
issue to provide for exceptional cases OF
need that may arise. Average issue San
Francisco, Oakland and elsewhere still ex-
coed quarter million a day. Every possible
method of questioning exclusion and other
wise being made to reduce food issue Pros
poets now look to steady decreasing de-
mands for food OF course, extreme desti-
tuition and much suffering occurs on the
part of many people who resort to charity
only In extreme cases. Altogether am en-
couraged.'

RESUMES his QUERIES
HonaAN's zxAMIHA.
tom OF COUNSEL CROMWELL

In condemnation OF the action Of Secre-
tary Taft In transferring one share Of PAN
anna railroad stock each to William Nelson
Cromwell. Roger L. Farnham and Minister
Ohaldfa OF the republic Of Panama, to quail
ify these men to serve as directors Of the
railroad. Senator Morgan today continued
the examination OF Mr. Cromwell before
the Senate committee on interoceanic ca
mails. Mr.. Cromwell asserted that the trans
fer was necessary TO the protection ana
preservation Of the interests of the gov
eminent in order to continue the corpora
ton under its New York charter. which
provided for the election Of board OF d.
rectors of bona fide stockholders.
Senator Morgan took issue with this
statement. saying he could see no reason
why all Of the shares should not have
been left In the United States treasury
and some way found to have dispensed
with the services OF these directors.
Cromwell Explains.
Explanation was made by Mr.. Cromwell
of the commission given him by Secretary
Taft in January. 1905. to purchase all OF
the outstanding minority stock OF the rail-
road and many sharp passages were ex.
changed by the witness and examiner. Con-
corning the delivery Of ell but one OF the
shares owned by Mr.. Cromwell much tes-
were guarded by legal technicalities. and
Senator Morgan said sharply:
shall warn you that intend to examine
Secretary Taft about this. I want you to
be careful in your answers and to tell the
truth
Again he said: Let US not have any play
on words"
ut is pretty hard to get at the truth with
out criticising your language" said Mr..
Cromwell. He was proceeding in q per-
sonal way, and simultaneously Senator Nor
gan was sharply upbraiding the witness for
alleged evasions OF questions.
Everything In Confusion.
At the same time Senator Taliaferro was
addressing Chairman Willard in protest
against the language of the witness, and
everything was confusion. Senator Nor
gan was the first to be heard above the
babel. and he was saying to the witness:
You are here in the presence Of Almighty
God to tell the truth. 1t is my duty to ex-
anime you and intend to do it,
The witness then answered a number Of
questions with monosyllables, and 1t was
seen that a misunder standing of terms was
responsible for great deal of the con-
fusion. Mr.. Cromwell started to review
the transactions by which he bought this
stock, and said he was proud of his sue
cess.
Let US put stop to this vainglorious
review" said Senator Morgan
Senator Taliaferro then examined the
witness at some length, clearing up much
OF the misunderstanding. An adjournment
was taken until tomorrow.

NEW LAws.-A law passed by
the last Legislature which has inst
taken effect provides that mo
mortgage conveyance or other in
strument or writing constituting a
lien or other security for any note
or other evidepce of Indebtedness
shall be received for record by any
County Clerk of this Common
wealth unless such mortage, con
veyance or other writing give the
county and State OF the residence

Another section of the same law
provides that all mortgages and lien
notes that have been paid and not
released on the records at once will
be listed by the Assessor as if not

The object of both sections is to
enable the Assessor to reach the
