for Abraham Lincoln. For years he
has been prominently connected with
public work in Oregon and nothing
can be found to besmirch his record.
He has labored diligently for the well
fare of the state. In no way can he
lie numbered with that prevalent class
of present-day "politicians'' whose
every effort ends in subservience to
bossism and in disregard to the well
fare of the country as a whole. He
is not afraid of responsibility and
would not shirk his duty. His long
and successful career in public af-
fairs, his acquaintance with present
day men and events, and his upright
character unite in making him man
of whose class we have too few in
public life. We need many more
such men at Washington.
Mr.. Smiths candidacy for the sup
port of the people at the coming
primaries should receive favorable
consideration.

CHANCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
Catholic Sentinel, Portland.

Catholic Sentinel, Portland.
The election of a United States
Senator has hitherto been the far
thest removed from the influence
of public opinion. The results
have been widely unsatisfactory.
For the first time in American his
tory the people of the state have
provided by law for an authorita-
tive expression of the popular will
in the election of a senator TO the
United States senate.
This law, enacted by the people
themselves, imposes on them a
new duty. The individual elector
has all the responsibility. He
makes his own investigation and
exercises his own choice. He is
under no dictation but that of his
own conscience and the sense of
his public duty. The people of
Oregon have set themselves a
splendid task. That task involves
only their own interests and the
welfare of their own state. This
law was not passed to enable
the people to make a gift of
splendid honor, but was enacted to
enable them to choose a senator
for their own interest. Oregon
has the first chance to accredit to
the United States senate a senator

L. l.. SMITH FOR SENATOR.
Bend Crook Co.. Bulletin.


The reform wave that is passing
over the country, with its attendant
exposures of graft and corruption in
some Of our heretofore most trusted
public men, has set the people to
thinking seriously and is impressing
them with the great need of electing
men Of high character to public Of
flee. Good government has always
demanded this, but the recent ex-
posurcs are showing the people that
carclessncss and negligence in choos-
ing their representatives, coupled
with individual selfishness and dis
honesty, will never procure honest
government. Consequently, as the
people see how largely our national
government is controlled by the big
trusts and combines. they are begin
ming to lcok about for honest as well
as competent men to represent them
ut Washington-mcn who are above
even the suspicion of corruption.
AS the Bulletin has previously
stated, +. l.. Smith. of Hood River.
is such a man. His recent announce-
ment to seek election to the United
States Senate withdraws him from
the gubernatorial race. While the
Bulletn believes that Mr.. Smith
could have served the public better at
present as governor, vet there is no
doubt that he possesses those quail
ties of character and craftsmanship
that will make him a valuable men,

Office. He has been a lifelong Ec-
publican, having cast his first vote

That the republican voters are
ready to 90 in a body to some man
and that they will go to some lead
er if he can be found, is likely.
Their friends claim that Lowell of
Pendleton, or Smith of Hood
River, furnish the best avenue of
escape. Both are able and both
are pure, and each has the advant-
age of being outside the pale of the
Portland strife.
Smith in particular is farmer,
big enough for the position, and,
what is best Of all, with a mental
habit and environment that has
kept him in perfect touch with the
great masses of the people
throughout his life.

. Her choice ought

Of the people. Her choice ought
to do her honor.
The problem to be solved is to
find the best man for Oregon. He
ought to have a wide and intimate
knowledge Of the people, Of their
business, Of their industries, and
of their needs. He should be able
to reflect in his own person and
character the influence and aspira-
tions Of the state. AS the United
States senate is supposed to be and
ought to be the noblest delibera-
tive body on earth, Oregon ought
to give to that body the very best
that she has.
Without depreciating any can
didate to this office it seems that
Hon. y. L. Smith, Of Hood River
fills these requirements. No man
knows the people of Oregon bet
ter. No man is better acquainted
with their industries. No man
knows better what the people want
and ought to have in respect to
federal legislation.
No man stands higher in the es-
TEEN of the people than he. His
commanding ability, the power Of
expressing his ideas with force
and clearness, his charm and dig
nifty of manner, are such as be.
come the senator from Oregon.

E. T.. SMITH FOR SENATOR.
Cond0n GILLIAN Coz Times.

E. L. Smith, of Hood River, for
United States Senator is by far the
strongest and best man in the race
for senatorial honors. He has
never been associated with any OF
the various factions in the past,
and his character and record are
above reproach. He has shown by
his work in the past that he has
the best interest of the state at
heart. He has never bolted a
ticket, he has never used subter-
fuge or graft in any manner to
further his political ambitions.
Clean, faithful, straightforward
and capable, he ought to get the
largest vote Of any man in the
race

SMITH THE PEOPLES
CHOICE.

Irrigon Morrow co., Irigator.
There are five candidates in our
state for United States senator,
four of whom are what might be
called office seekers, and one, Hon.
E. L. Smith, of Hood River, whom
the office is seeking.
In other words, Mr.. Smith is the
only one of the candidates who
was not a candidate until the peo-
pie the voters-from every coun-
ty and almost every city, town and
hamlet in the state demanded that
he emerge from his Hood River re-
treat and allow his name to be
used for that high Office.
And why this demand? Be
cause the people-the ers-be-
lieve that the state at large owes a
debt to Mr.. Smith that can be par
TALLY repaid by sending him to the
United States senate, and they fur
ther believe that he of all men in
the state is best equipped to rep
resent us in that great body.
And the campaign is demon
strating the power of the people
and is putting to rout the theory
that the patent medicine method
of advertising and cheap dema-
gogue promises can win against
such man as Mr.. Smith, for now
with the primaries but a few days
ahead of us the triumphant elec
ton of Hon. f. l.. Smith is prac-
tically assured.

Hon. f. L. Smith, of Hood River,

lieved that he was pre-eminently the

he has announced himself. No man

PRESIDENT SMITH RETIRES
FROM BOARD OF HOR-
TICULTURE.
w. K. Newell Successor.

Portland Oregonian, April 10th.
E. L. Smith, who for six years
past has been at the head of the
board, rendered his resignation as
president of the State Board of
Horticulture, at the semi-annual
meeting held yesterday morning in
the Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Smith retires from the active head
of the organization in order to
give his entire attention to his
campaign for nomination for
United States senator. The meet
ing was largely attended by those
interested in horticulture in Ore
gon. Genuine regret was ex-
pressed at Mr.. Smiths retire
ment.
Mr.. Smith sent in his resignation
to the society some time ago, but
action was delayed until yester-
day. President Smith presided
over the meeting until after he
had read his report; then he sur
rendered the chair to Commits
sioner Wilbur X. Newell, Of Wash
ington County. Ex-Commission-
er James II. Reid, of Multnomah
County, when Mr.. Newell was
made president, became commits
sioner for the First District, which
had been held by Mr.. Newell. Mr..
Smith has devoted a greater part
of his long residence in Oregon to
horticulture. Mr.. Smith s report
was listened to with interest and
it was plainly apparent that the
speaker when he neared the end
of his report was visibly touched.
After Mr.. Smiths report was
read, Commissioner a. II. Carson,
Charles a. Park and Secretary
were appointed COM
mittee by President Newell to
draw up farewell resolutions to
Mr.. Smith The appreciation of
Mr.. Smith 5 services to the State
Board of Horticulture and as
president follow:
Whereas. The Hon. E. l.. Smith,
Of Hood River, Or, commissioner
at large and president of the
State Board of Horticulture of the
State of Oregon, has voluntarily
rendered his resignation as such
and his labors on behalf of
the state have this day officially
be it
Resolved. That we. members of
The State Board of Horticulture,
express our sincere regret in los
ng a presiding officer so valuable,
whose advice and counsel have al
ways aided us in our endeavor to
Duild up the fruit industry of the
state; that while his labors Off
tally are ended, we feel that his
zeal, energy and personality as a
citizen of this state will continue
o aid the horticultural develop
nent of the state in the future as
t has officially in the past.

ELECT CLEAN MEN.
Madras (Crook Coz Pioneer.

A Portland candidate is deluging
the mails with literature boosting
his candidacy for the United States
Senate, and there is doubtless not a
voter in the state who has not re-
ceived one or more of these commu-
nications. His "barrel" is said to be
wide open, and most of the papers
in the state are carrying cuts of him
and numerous reading notices at so
much per inch. In striking contrast
is the dignifed attitude of Hon. E.
l.. Smith, of Hood River, who is also
a candidate for the Republican NOM
inatiOn for the United States Senate.
Immediately upon announcing his
candidacy, Mr.. Smith forwarded his
resignation as president of the State
Board of Horticulture and of the
Oregon Development League in or
der that these organizations might
be kept free from politics. His the
ory of the direct primary law is that
it is for the purpose of securing a
free and uninfuenced expression of
the peoples choice The use of boo
die to corrupt public opinion and in
fluence the primary election is in
direct opposition to the evident in
tent of the law, and is but a return
to the old machine methods.
But the difference is not in meth
cd only. 1t goes further than that,
to the type of the men who are as
piring to be the Republican party's
choice for United States Senator.
The Portland candidates record
for corrupting and debauching
legislators, his open and shame
less attempt to "buy up" the
legislature during two senatorial
campaigns, is too recent history to
need rehearsing. Standing out in
bold contrast is the untarnished po-
litical record, the clean private life,
the long years of unselfsh and high
minded effort for the best interests
of party and state, of Hon. E. l..
Smith In this crisis in our coun-
try's development, when the peoples
best interests are at stake in the fight
against corrupt capital, the people
of Oregon should take the lessons of
the past home to themselves, and
send clean, honest men to represent
them in the United States Senate.
