GET TOGETHER

GET TOOE TIER
The recent decisions of the supreme
court and the opinion rendered by
Attorney General Bonaparte, on the
Oklahoma banking law, all show that
the further control Of legislation and
the courts by the republican party will
be detriment to the best interest of
the country If after half century of
almost uninterrupted control of all
three branches Of the government-leg-
islative, executive and judicial-almost
every eudeavor towards Justice and the
protection Of tile rights OF the people
are declared unconstitutional, crntra
ry to law, or some other frivolous ex-
cuse is drummei up, it is time for rad
ical change.
For the last fifty years almost all the
Supreme Judges that have been APP
pointed have been republicans; APP
pointed by republican presidents; and
the freedom and rights OF the common
people have been gradually curtaied,
the yoke of bondage and suffering more
securely fastened, until the time has
come for the people to turn and fight
for their rights The great trouble has
been that the voters scatter their votes
TOO much aud do not concentrate their
efforts upon carrying one particular
part OF the enemy's works, follow too
many different leaders, and do not cen
ter upon some candidate for whom to
cast their lalots.
Now fellow workers, etus all get to-
gether and fellow the leader who stands
the only show of winning the fight; who
is acknowledged by all to be the great
est political leader the world has ever
known; man of sterling qualities, who
is up and doing, working for the right,
for your aud my interests. for principle,
the people aud patriotism, and not for
policy. Even if our own beliefs may
differ in some small particular it is time
for us to get together in one cause for
the common good.
The republican party is strongly in
trenched at all points; the g. o. p army
lines the breast-works and is command
ed by Major Generals Morgan, Rockefel-
Ter, Rogers and other magnates of Wall
Street Their ranks are filed with
every petty office holder in the land.
The American people are not yet ready
to bow their heads to dictator, and
permit the President to dictate who
shall be his successor. The Americans
enjoy being fooled and humbuged, but
just try to force us to do any thing, po-
litically, and you will find that we balh

About 600 letters are being sent
throughout the United States cover
ing every soft wood manufacturer in
the country by Manager Whyte Of
the Chamber of Commerce, calling
their attention to the fact that there
is probably larger supply OF soft
wood or Douglass fir, spruce and
hemlock in the vicinity OF Astoria
than anywhere else in the world and
advising them to establish their
branch or additional factories in AS
toria, as there is enough soft wood
wasted and burned in local sawmills
refuse burners to manufacture all OF
the matches and all the soft wood ar
ticles OF commerce in the United
States for considerable number Of
years Mr.. Whytc goes on to ex-
plain the excellent water and rail
transportation facilities Of Astoria
which will be greatly improved in a
few years by the completion Of the
Panama Canal; and which will give
the manufacturers an advantage over
the Atlantic markets, and in case they
should want to get well established
here before that time, that could not
be met by any Of their eastern com
petitors. Mr.. Whyte concludes by
inviting their correspondence into
detail, and assures them of Astoria's s
hearty cooperation.
