the following extract from that pa.
per:
THE editor of the Gazette-Times
was a delegate TO the assembly, be-
lieved in the assembly, and certain
ly does not oppose Bowerman because
h was recommended by that assem-
bly,. The nominee is opposed because
he and his friends outraged that as
sembly and the republican party of
this state; becaus by trickery, pack
ed delegations, scheming, and bar
tering with other candidates for del
egations. he secured his recommen-
alton and that of other men with
out regard to the effect it would have
on the republican party.
II was found very early in the game
that the cards were stacked, the del
.egctions were pledged, that trades
had been made and that the Bower
man machine had this nomination
c!nched even before the delegations
arrived in Portland"
Out of resentment for the manner
in which Bowerman packed the as
sembly and tricked the other guber-
Ynatorial candidates who went before
the assembly the Corvallis paper is
supporting Oswald West for COVER
ror. There are thousands of loyal
republican voters who will do the
same. It is time for a general bolt.
L is time for the republican voters
show the machine element of that
party that they cannot debauch the
party any longer.

A MAN OF PURPOSE.
(Weston Leader.l

Oswald West impresses one as a
man of action rather than of words.
He seems full of repressed nervous
energy, and in talking goes straight
to the point. He is a type of modern
man of affairs who wants to be at
work, and to leave the eloquence to
the practiced orators. He is a man of
purpose and achievement. His idea
is that a public servant should serve
the public-and lose no time in doing
it. He drove the frauds from the state
land office and cleaned it up. AS rail-
road commissioner he saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars for Oregon
shippers. without injustice to the rail-
roads. He is a foe to special privil-
ege, and for this reason he is opposed
in some quarters; but if he is elected
governor the honest business interests
of the state will have nothing to fear.
He is never, like Mr.. Bowerman, on
both sides of the same question at the
same time. In genuine worth and
political integrity he compares to
Mr.. Bowerman as does a tungsten
lamp to a tallow candle. He is young
clean, able and progressive, and in
the governors chair will bring to Ore
gon the service of a vigorous mind
and unsullied hands.

SUPPORT SENATOR SMITH.

There is not a single substantial
reason why local people should not
support Senator C. ]. Smith for re-
election. DR.. Smith is a Pendleton
man. He justly ranks as the most
prominent and influential man in the
city. He has earned that reputation
/. through a career of many years dur
ing which time he has done valuable
and consistent work for the advance
ment of this city. Pendleton has
never had a citizen who has been
more willing or more loyal than DR..
Smith in upholding the interests of
the town. Local people should back
DR.. Smith for reelection and back
him with enthusiasm. 1t is only
right that one of the senatorships
and Senator Smith is logically the man
fer the place.
In their desperation the clique that
Il working against Senator Smith
bring forth two arguments. One is
that he is a physician. Why they
should raised that point is difficult
to understand. Certainly the profess
sion Of medicine is useful and hon
orable calling. The physician is as
necessary to society as is the sheep
man. Perhaps more so. When they
attempted to make votes against DR..
Smith upon this score his opponents
showed signs Of embecility.
The other argument against DR..
Smith is the plea of partisanship. II
Is a plea that has been worn to shreds
ard should have no force at all in
this campaign. Party lines are drawn
In a legislature only when the cleo
ton of a United States senator is un-
derway. In the cases Of DR.. Smith
and Mr.. Burgess such lines can not be
drawn no matter which man is elect
ed senator from this county. Both
men have signed statement No. 1, and
By doing so have agreed to vote for
the peoples choice for United States
senator regardless OF politics. The
only difference between the two men
upon this score is that Senator Smith
has been a statement No. 1 man all
the time while his opponent came in
TO camp at the eleventh hour and
plainly for the purpose Of gettine
votes Smith Is a statement man
through principle; Burgess through
policy.
Senator Smith IL entitled to the
support OF every loyal local resident
Work for him and vote for him.
