John W. Arctander the would-be
saver from poverty of the Norwegian
people generally, has again appealed
to those who were unlucky enough to
buy stock in his Gold Ship skin game,
begging them to buy more shares so
that they can raise the dredges that
the high water sunk. to the bottom of
the river. He promises that the shares
will be worth twice as much as they
were before, and twice times nothing
is. still-nothing. Oh! yes, Benson

WEST Is YOUR MAN.

AS pointed out by Senator Cham
berlain Thursday evening Bowerman
is the reactionary or standpat can
didate; West stands as the champion
and defender of the Oregon system
which system is now being adopted
BY progressive and boss free states all
over the union.
Bowerman opposes statement No. /.
He has been in the state senate twice
and both times he refused to take
the statement. He has been open in
his scorn of statement No. l and of
the men who took the statement.
Bowerman is an enemy of the di-
rect primary. At the last legislative
session he made a speech in the sem
ate in which he declared he would
rather vote for convention nominees
than for direct primary nominees. He
favored the passage of the Mariner
bill which would have legalized as
seblies had it passed.
Bowerman was a chief instigator Of
the assembly scheme which scheme
was in plain violation of the spirit and
letter of the direct primary law. He
owes his nomination to the assembly
endorsement and to the fact that he
had a badly divided field against him
ii
Since the primary election Bower
man has flopped about considerably
in hopes Of making votes He has
striven desperately to please the pro-
gressive wing Of his party. But he
has never repudiated assemblyism. He
is charged with having prevented his
state committee from regulating as
semblyism and also from endorsing
statement No. l.
In spite of all his Hopping Bower
man still stands as an assemblyite and
as an anti-primary man. He is one
of the gang that would like to dc
away with the oregon system and
take this state back to the foul hole
OF bossism and corruption.
II you believe in the "Oregon sys
tenn" II you believe in the direc
primary law and statement No.
tken fight Jay Bowerman and figh
him to the finish. Give your supper
to Oswald West. 1t matters not tina
he is a member of the minority part.
in this state His record is unsulliet
and he stands out clear and strong a
the champion Of the principles II
which you believe.

One May
Overcome

constipation permanently by proper
personal cooperation with the bene-
fetal effects of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, when required. The
forming of regular habits is most i'm
portant and while endeavoring to
form them the assistance of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA Is most val
liable, as it is the only laxative which
acts without disturbing the natural
functions and without debilitating and
it is the one laxative which leaves the
internal organs in a naturally healthy
condition, thereby really aiding one in
that way. To get its beneficial effects,
buy the genuine Manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for
sale by all leading druggists. Syrup
of Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA is never
classed by the well-informed with
medicines which make extravagant
and unfounded claims to cure habitual
constipation without personal COOP

would like to arrange matters so that
anyone wishing to mix in politics in
this county would first have to bow
low before them and kiss the big toe
o. each respective bosslet.
Last winter this little clique tried
desperately to run the city election
They tried for days to lineup the re-
publicans against Mayor Murphy.
They cracked their little whips and
shouted vote the republican ticket"
But the voters understood their game
and only laughed at them. They re-
elected Mayor Murphy by a landslide
majority.
There is no more reason for parti-
sanship in this campaign than there
was in the city election. National
party issues are not involved in either
the local or state campaigns. The
issues that are up are local and state
issues. They are of a moral rather
than a political nature. 1t would be
assinine for voter to try to follow
party lines at the coming election.
Don't be deceived by the plea to
voter straight" When a ward heeler
shouts that at you laugh at him and
show by your vote on November
that you can use your right of fran
chise without dictation from any
'cast-off and discredited political ma
chine.

COME THROUGH SOME MORE.

Bowerman is wrong when he says
the East Oregonian misquoted him,
This paper based its attack upon
Bowerman upon the Portland Ore
gcnian's report of his Pendleton
speech. He cannot say that report
misquoted him. This paper is willing
to take Bowerman's own statement as
to what he said. In a statement over
his signature, published here Thurs
day he said: 1 declared that at one
school each graduate in his final year
cost the state s12.5OO apiece"
After the East Oregonian showed
by sworn statement that Bowerman's
statement was false with reference to
the existing normal schools he then
back tracked and said he referred
to the Drain school But the state
nent is false even with reference to
Drain. This paper showed yesterday
that the last biennial appropriation
for Drain amounted to but S21, 900
for all purposes and that Drains last
graduating class had IA members
This paper challenges Mr.. Bowerman
to show when the Drain school had
$4,000 during one year and had but
two graduates. He must present his
facts or confess that he pava fa1ca
evidence against the Drain normal
school.
Come through again, Mr.. Bower
man.

A CAPABLE SHERIFF.

T. D. Taylor is the most competent
sheriff Umatilla county has ever had.
AS an officer he has no superior in
this state or in the northwest. This is
his general reputation and he de-
serves that reputation. Sheriff Taylor
has been a clean, capable and faith
tul official and he deserves re-elec-
ton.
By rights Mr. Taylor should have
nc opposition this year. He was en-
dorsed by both democrats and repub-
licans at the primary election. Though
he is a democrat Mr.. Taylor received
more votes in the republican primary
election than did Houser, the man
who sought the republican nomina-
ton and is now running for sheriff
az an Independent.
The East Oregonian will be greatly
surprised if Sheriff Taylor is not re-
elected by a handsome majority. He
will be reelected if the people of this
county appreciate the value of a COM
petent official.
