Bearing upon the recent contro-
versy over the school election, the
following open letter from DR.. C. j.
Smith to DR.. F. w. Vincent has been
received by the East Oregonian for
publications:
Pendleton, Ore, June 24.-Dr. F.
w. Vincent Pendleton, Ore.-Dear
Sir: From newspaper reports it
would indicate that you are claiming
the responsibility for the defeat of
Mr.. E. L. Smith and DR.. e. A.
Vaughan for school directors.
= That inasmuch as most of us be-
lieve that your candidates. DR.. w. G.
Cole and James T. Brown, are men
ton cowardly means to attain their
ends, / have this suggestion to make
both to you and your candidates.
The people of this school district
have a right to know for whom they
are to vote and for whom they are
voting. That under the school laws
there are no required methods of
nomination, except possibly by petit
tion. which is not mandatory; but in
order to. give some semblance of
form a petition was circulated in the
interests of Mr.. f. L. Smith and DR..
f. A. Vaughan.
This was announced in the only
daily paper published in town, and
also that there was not even mention
made of any other candidates The
people, being well satisfied with
these candidates, failed to attend the
election. Had the friends of good
schools and believers of a harmoni-
Gus community known that there
would be any attempt to disturb or
disrupt the schools Of the city OF
of parenthesis. have no superior in
the state, population considered, and
with which the whole people are
eminently well satisfied, and had
they expected that an advantage
would be taken of them practically
every voter in the city would have
been at the polls.
Pinning my faith to the people or
this community, who have not only
been true to me but have been just
in their decisions in times pnst, and
as | said before believing that your
men. who have been technically
elected. but not morally elected, are
honorable men and do not care to
misrepresent the people, allow me to
suggest that you withdraw these cam
ddates and that we will ask the
proper authorities to call another
election and submit this matter to
the people in the right way and allow
the people who have children to send
to school and who pay taxes to say
who shall or shall not conduct the
affairs of the school
In this suggestion I am honest and
sincere, and should the people when
they have a just chance see fit to de-
feat Mr.. e. L. Smith and DR..
Vaughan, or see fit to elect whomso-
ever they may, then everybody will
be satisfied and the proper harmony
will continue to exist in the conduct
of the schools and the community
will be a unit in its affairs and will
prosper thereby.
/ am, very truly yours,
C. ]. SMITH.

all over this section of the country
and as far west as Echo. Antelope,
he declared, abounded farther west
and south, while elk were plentiful
in the mountains just east of Pen
dleton.
Shop-Lish also recalled the coming
of the white man, and said he was
nearly a grown, man when the first
train of immigrants passed through
this part Of the west. He is therefore
either a very old man or very reck-
less handler of the truth.
Aside from rheumatism, which has
left him somewhat crippled, Shop
Lish is fairly well preserved. His
teeth are all good and he has every
appearance of being able to live an
other score of years.
