1t is certainly sound doctrine that
a candidate for office should be judg-
ed by the way he acts when not a can
didate Prudent men will not be con-
tented with campaign promises. They
will look also at the man as he ap-
peared when not seeking votes.
Apply this rule to ]. n. Burgess and
see how he looks. Less than two
years ago Mr.. Burgess was president
OF the state woolgrowers' association
and at the annual gathering of that
organization in Heppner he made an
official address in which he urged the
woolgrowers to work for the defeat OF
Chamberlain for senator despite the
fact that Chamberlain had won the
popular endorsement in a fair and
open race and despite the fact that a
majority of the legislators were under
sworn pledges to make him senator
In other words Burgess wanted the
woolgrowers to induce the statement

pledges.

ways he is an estimable man. But By

IT'S TOO BAD TO BE CLEVER.
(Milton Eegle.)

When Jay Bowerman accepted the
nomination Of the republican assem-
bly, for governor; when he made such
the primaries and when he was elect
ed, the Eagle could not help admire
his personality, and the way he man
aged his campaign. And despite the
fact that we could never have sup
ported him for several Of his official
and unofficial acts, we yet thought
well of some of his cleverness just
the same.
But all our admiration and respect
for Bowerman as a gentleman. has
ceased. The trick which he, together
with many of his republican conspir-
ators played last week in a last eff
fort to gain the vote of his party, was
deplorable piece of business for a
man of honor to perpetrate.
When Jay Bowerman allowed his
signature to go out below an article
pledging a revision of the republican
state platform within the next few
days." and pledging himself and his
party to forever repudiate the assem-
bly,, the thing which gave him birth,
and to always and steadfastly sup
port the direct primary and state
ment No. /, he gave himself away. 1t
was a last effort to harmonize the re-
publican party and carry the ticket
But, will 1t work?
Not IL the Eagles forecast of the
situation is correct. 1t was clever
trick designed to fool the people, but
the people are too smart.
They know that Mr.. Bowerman has
not been converted to the direct pri-
mary nor to statement No. l within
three weeks of election for no pur'
pose. They also know that he will
do less harm out of the governors
chair than in it. He is wise one
for which he is deserving of some
credit, but there are other wise ones
and the latter hold the balance O.
power. November will tell.

AN ABSOLUTE FALSEHOOD.

Time and space will not permit
this paper to refute all the falsehoods
the assembly machine is perpetrating
during this campaign. But there is
one lie the East Oregonian must take
time to nail.
1t is the story that DR.. c. ]. Smith
is the owner Of the East Oregonian.
1t is a story that has been peddled
about in secret by the assembly work.
ers and at last it has been openly
stated in a libelous and scurrilous
sheet which ]. N Burgess and others
have subsidized for campaign pur-
poses. The lie is told in hopes of
weakening the East Oregonian's in
fluence with reference to DR.. Smiths
candidacy.
All well informed people know the
tale is wholly untrue. But for the in
formation of those who may not be
SO informed the East Oregonian will
say the story is absolutely false and
ig manufactured out of whole cloth.
The East Oregonian is owned, as all
local business men know, by c. S.
Jackson, Fred W. Lampkin, Lee D.
Drake and E. B. Aldrich. These four
men own every share of stock and alb
selutely control the paper in every
way. No man in town knows this
fact better than does the owner Of the
malicious sheet that published the
ft.lsehood stated above. That man for
merly worked for the East Oregonian.
He knows well who own and publish
this paper.
Senator C. ]. Smith has not one red
cent invested in the East Oregonian
and has never had. He has no more
to do with the management of this
paper than has the king of Siam.
In this campaign the East Oregon
ian is supporting DR.. Smith without
even being asked to do so. 1t is sup
porting him solely upon his merits. II
is supporting him because he is a man
of much ability has done much for
, Pendleton and Umatilla county and
because he stands for good and pro-
gressive principles. The East Ore
gonian is in the habit of supporting
such men as this and in just this way
It will hold true to this course re-
gardless of political brigands and th'
lies they tell.

are working desperately
to elect these men. They are SPEND
ing money without stint and they
are resorting to every trick known to
crafty political workers.
If Jay Bowerman is elected COVER
nor Of oregon and If assembly select
ed legislators are chosen 1t will mean
the defeat OF the progressive cause
in oregon. 1t will mean that the old
guard will be left in control. The
situation calls for the election Of Os-
valid West for governor and OF anti
assembly men to the legislature. 1t
matters nothing that these men, or
some of them, are enrolled in the mi
nority party. Party names at present
are as meaningless as a dish of mush.
Young republicans and all other re-
publicdns who believe in clean and
progressive politics will refuse to line
ur and "vote'er straight" They will
realize that TO vote er StralSnl tnls
year would only defeat the very re-
forms they wish to bring about. They
will resent the plea of the bosses and
their ward heelers as an insult to
their citizenship. In voting they will
look to the men and to the principles
for which they stand, not at mean
ingless party labels. They will vote
to turn down the decrepit and cor
rrpt old guard of assemblyism and
w so doing hasten the day when the
republican party in oregon may
and forth in new array and under
the leadership of abler and more up
right men.

FOR YOUNG REPUBLICANS.

In keeping with their program of
trying to get people to ''vote'er
straight the assembly workers of this
city are striving desperately to line
up the young republicans. But they
are failing miserably and they deserve
to fail.
Young republicans have no pusi-
ness aligning themselves with the as
sembly cause. They are not of it.
1t is not their fight. By for the great
er number of young republicans are
of the progressive school; they are
not reactionaries as are the assembly,
ties. The average young republican
believes in the republicanism of Lin
coin and of Roosevelt. The assembly
brigade in this state and in this city
republicanism. 1t stands for the re-
publicanism of Mark Hanna. The
average young republican is follow
er of men like La Toilette, Cummins
and Beveridge. The assembly ma
chine does not stand for that sort of
republicanism. 1t stands for the sort
represented by Sunny Jim Sherman
and Speaker Cannon and in this state
by Joe Simon. 1t stands for bossism
not for intelligent, patriotic leader
ship. 1t stands for trickery and cor
ruption; not for cean politics. II
stands for driving men, not for guild
ing them.
Over the United States a great con-
test is on between the progressives
and the standpatters. The contest pre-
walls in both parties but more particu'
iariy in the republican party. Every
where It Is a contest between those
who stand for political progress and
for true popular rule and those who
stand for domination by the special
interests, for machine rule and its ac-
companying corruption.
In many OF the states the fight has
already been fought and won by the
progressives. In California, Wash
fngton, Iowa, Wisconsin and New
York the old guard has been put t.
rout. In those states new leader
are in the saddle and they differ from
the old as good men differ from bad
as virtue differs from vice.

combine. which completely controls the
malt business and sets the prices to suit
It's own ends. It is declared that when

price of malt it starts stories of a short
age Of mailing barley. 1t is doing that
now, the story goes. and is preparing to
fleece the consumer OF malt in all direc-
