FOR BEN HILL.
(Athena Press. ]

(Athena PreSS.)
Ben Hill. eff Pendleton, a bright.
clean, moral upright man-one. in
favor of the direct primary law,
statement No. /, and who is unalter-
ably opposed to the assembly idea is
making a brilliant race for joint rep
resentative for Umatilla and Nor
row counties. His opponent is T. ].
Mahoney who was endorsed by the
assembly and who went to Portland
and sought the assembly nomination.
Mahoney is a Heppner banker who
went as a delegate to the assembly
to boost for Jay Bowerman for gov
ernor. He has always been opposed
to statement No. l and the direct
primary law; and to make it all the
worse for Mahoney. he voted for that
Infamous Bean Brooke bill in the last
legislature to make it crime for any
man to subscribe to statement No l.
Any believer in statement No. l who
votes for Mahoney votes for his en-
emy and the enemy of the people of
this state. Candidates of his small
and pinched callbre who try to make
it a crime to subscribe to statement
No. l deserve no recognition from the
friends of popular government. Ben
Hill is a different man; he stands
squarely for statement No. 1, and the
laws of the people and is a highly
educated. able, clean man.

IT Is ACCEPTED.

In another column today the East
Oregonian publishes a letter from DR..
Clarence True Wilson of Portland. In
the same DR.. Wilson says that the
East oregonian article which he crit
icised some weeks ago was an adver-
tisement and was marked paid ad-
vertisement." This paper is very glad
-r. Wilson has made this explanation.
This paper has no apology to make
for running paid advertisements for
the home rule people or for the pro-
hibitionists. Like all other journals
the East Oregonian has advertising
space to SELL 1t is also needless to say
that this paper is not responsible for
the accuracy of statements published
"a advertisements and labelled as
such.
The story that was sent the Port
land Oregonian from La Grande quot
ed DR.. Wilson as saying this paper had
published a leading editorial that could
be accounted for only by the use of
money. When the news of that charge
reached the East Oregonian this pa
per promptly declared that if DR.. Will
son had been correctly quoted he was
one of the biggest liars outside a Jail.
We meant it. AS the statement had
a qualifying clause it needs no with
drawal
Since DR. Wilson now AYERS he was
nIisquoted and since he insists his
charge did not reflect upon the honor
% the East Oregonian this paper ac-
cepts his explanation and his SEEM
ing offence is pardoned

SMITH VS.. BURGESS.
(Athena Press.)


1t is we'll known that a small coterie
of prejudiced politicians in Pendleton,
composed of about half a dozen
"soreheads," known as the Furnish
Push" worked for several months
trying to get a candidate with whom
to defeat DIR. Smith. They tried Billy
Ferguson of Pendleton, Frank Curl,
Thomas Thompson, Asa Thomson, w,
L. Thompson, Tom Morris, DR.. Cole,
DR.. Vincent and others, but each of
these men knew too we'll the strength
of Dy. Smith, his splendid ability and
qualifications, his wide popularity as
clean, upright, manly man; his high
standing with the people of Umatilla
county; his faultless record in the
state senate; his triumph over his
enemies at all times heretofore, and
each of them said: NAY, verify, Mr..
Furnish, not for me. Then, as a last
resort, they persuaded ]. N. Burgess,
an assemblyite, a tool of 'higherups,'
to make the race. Now who is Bur-
CESS? How many people in Umatilla
county ever saw him? He came here
two or three years ago and identified
himself with a sheep ranch in the
southern part of the county. Very
few people know him. He was never
known to take any interest in public
education, good roads, public i'm
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-10-31

Very naturally Judge T. P. Gill;
land is sore at Senator Smith and he
vepts his spite by assailing the sena-
tor and making false charges against
him. At a meeting at Adams recently
.Gnliland attacked Senator Smith and
his press agent says his voice throb-
bed with emotion and on more than
one face a tear glistened."
Such silly rot! senator Smiths rec
ord with reference to the attempted
salary raise is clean and honorable.
He consistently opposed the attempt
to raise the judges salary to $500.
All people familiar with the subject
know this. The East Oregonian
knows this because on the day follow
ing the introduction of the salary bill
Senator Smith wrote the editor of the
East Oregonian a letter from which
the following is an extract:
Senator Cole on yesterday intro
duced a bill raising the county judges
salary to $500. I don't like this idea
of such a big raise all of sudden
because when we once raise the sal
airy it is next to Impossible to lower
| *. AS has been argued by ex-Judge
Hartman the county court would
spend less money for Umatilla county
liz it did not stay in session so much
and for that amount of money (S1S00)
we need a more competent man."
Senator Smith should be thankful
to his enemies for the manner in
which they are aiding his candidacy
! The Gilliland attack simply calls at
tention to the fact that the senator
defended the interests of the taxpay-
ers of his county and had sufficient
influence in the state senate to squelch
a measure he considered improper.

"CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS

What of a man who would try to
make statement No. / legislators
break the sworn pledges they had
made their constituents? Is such a
man as this good timber to become
a statement No. l senator from this
county? Is not such a man open to
grave suspicion?
These questions have been raisel
and raised very properly in the sena-
torial campaign now on in this coun-
ty. on the first page of the East
Oregonian today appears a story that
shows conclusively that J. n. Bur-
CESS was among those who sought to
debauch the statement No. l forces in
the legislature two years ago. AS
president of the state woolgrowers'
association Mr.. Burgess delivered an
official address in which he urged
the woolgrowers to stand together in
an attempt to prevent the election Of
Governor Chamberlain as senator.
This, despite the fact that Chamber
lain had won the popular endorse
ment and despite the fact that ma
jority Of the legislators were under
sworn pledges to ratify the choice Of
the people. Following Mr.. Burgess
recommendation Of the woolgrowers a
resolution was introduced before their
convention and in effect that resolu-
ton was an open request that the
statement No. legislators violate the
pledges they had made their people.
That resolution was defeated through
the earnest opposition of Dan P.
Smythe and others who had a higher
sense of political honor than had
Mr.. Burgess.
In bringing these facts out at this
time the East Oregonian is not re-
sorting to dirty politics. It is not
making a mean or unjust attack on
Mr.. Burgess. 1t is simply quoting
from an official address Mr.. Burgess
delivered less than two years ago
Mr.. Burgess can have no just objec-
ton. If he is honest he will stand
now exactly where he stood two year!
ago. An honest candidate for office
will stand where he stood when not
a candidate.
Two years ago Mr.. Burgess treated
the statement No. 1 pledges lightly
He wanted the woolgrowers to com
bine and use their influence to ge
legislators to break their pledges
This cannot be disputed. Does Mr.
Burgess still regard statement No.
in this light? When he came in a
the eleventh hour and subscribed t
statement No. / did he do so feelin,
that in the event Of his election h,
could keep his pledge or break it jus
as he pleased? People have righ
to so construe his action. A mai
who will counsel other men to b
crooked is himself open to suspicion
Mr.. Burgess has been caught witt
the goods upon him.

FROM CLARENCE Il. WILSON.
Portland, Ore, Oct. 30, 1910.
Editor East Oregonian:

Portland, Ore, Oct. 80, 1910.
Editor East Oregonian:
Dear Sir: Three weeks ago today
reached Pendleton to speak on the
Home Rule and the Prohibition am
endments. That day l was shown
your paper which contained a Home
Rule argument similar to those in
other papers throughout the state. 1t
was on the editorial page and mark
ed at the close Paid advertisement"
The committee there wanted a re-
ply prepared but decided that they
could not pay advertising rates to set
forth the facts of the case. l referred
to our lack of funds as an embarrass-
ment in this campaign and cited this
case at Baker City the next day. a
report was sent from there to the
Oregonian in Portland and to your
paper that l had charged that you
| both sold your editorial space to
booze writer's.
First, l only referred to one paper
which 1 held in my hand at the time
and the statement that I referred to
the Portland Oregonian was a ma
licious falsehood.
Second, the remarks were based on
your issue ana charged nothing that
was not admitted in your paper by
the words following the article: paid
! advertisement"
| Third, the remark was not an at
tack on the paper nor on the press
of the state, but a comment on our
financial situation in which we have
to depend on volunteer speakers and
workers and free communications in
the press while the liquor side of this
controversy is backed by immense
wealth and corporate interests which
can import the ablest booze orators
in America and buy columns in the
press of the state to advance their
side.
I am sorry that before calling bad
names you did not do what the Port
land Oregonian did: give me chance
to state just what I said and meant
Had you heard my words you would
neither have denied them nor thought
them reflection on the honor of
your paper.
| Sincerely yours
CLARENCE TRUE WILSON.

seemed like dream to us-the tented

Grimball's Causeway and the sand
flies!
Soon after this we were detailed as
provost guard in the city, where our
duty was to picket the wharves,
guard the several commissary depots
and patrol the New Bridge" over the
Ashley which connected the city
with st. Andrews Parish, and that
with James Island by means Of a
bridge over Wappoo Cut Thus the
summer drew on and in July the
cadets were furloughed until the
autumn, leaving only a guard at the
Citadel. Later on, yellow fever hav-

runner from Nassau, and threatening
to become epidemic, the remaining
cadets were also furloughed and the
doors of the institution closed.

The Liquor Issue.

What Is the liquor issue about
which we are hearing so much from
certain candidates for office in South
Carolina this summer? Simply this.
and nothing more: Shall the Gen.
eral Assembly spen6 it's time during
the next two years wrangling over
the question Of whether or not the
six counties in South Carolina now
"wet" shall oe compelled against the
wishes Of the people Of those coun-
ties to become "dry?"
That is the whole matter in a very
few words.
The election Of a candidate espous-
ing Statewide prohibition would set
tie nothing. However, it would, of
course. be construed by the prohibi-
ZIONIST leaders as indicating the de-
sire Of the people Of South Carolina
that the entire State be made dry"
by act Of the Legislature, and they
would exhaust every effort to make
the members Of the General Assem-
bly, see the matter in this light.
What would be the result? Most
probably, one Of the bitterest legisla-
tive fights the State has witnessed
for years. No very intimate acquaint-
ance with the facts is necessary to
make that plain.
1t Is, understand, less than a year
since, on August II, 1909, to be ex-
act, every "wet' county in South Car
olina was given the opportunity to
vote liquor out. Six counties elected
to continue the county dispensary
system.
Candidates espousing Statewide
prohibition now urge that these six
counties be compelled to discontinue
the sale Of alcoholic beverages.
The question, understand, is not
whether a majority of the people of
South Carolina think prohibition a
good thing or bad thing, but
whether a majority Of the voters of
the PalmettO state desire to preclpi-
tate legislative contest which would
most probably engender much hard
feeling and preclude the possibility
of proper attention being given to
matters Of the very largest import
ance to the entire State.
Unless T. G. Mcleod is the next
Governor Of South Carolina our peo-
pie may anticipate a period of such
dissensions as has not been known
in this State for considerably more
than a decade. Can we afford it?
Will it be FOR the good Of the Com
monwealth? Will it help the cause

BALLINGER TO GET OUT.
Presidential Hint" Given Secretary
of Interior BY Crane.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 4.-Senator
Winthrop Murray Crane, Of Massa-
chusetts, met Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger at Minneapolis yesterday.
and acting on the initiative of leaders
in the Republican party, with the
tact acquiescence of President Taft.
suggested that the Cabinet officer ten
der his resignation before October 1.
From source of the highest au-
thority here today comes this explana-
ton of the accidental" meeting of
the Massachuetts Senator and the
secretary of the Interior yesterday.
Several days ago Senator Crane
paid a mysterious visit to Beverly. At
that time the news leaked out that he
was going West ION a mission" the
nature of which was kept secret.
Great pressure of late has been
brought to bear on Taft to hint to
the head Of the Interior Department
that he should retire. on the ground
OF extreme political expediency. Lead
ers In the party got together and Sc
cured a tacit asquiescence from Taft
and yesterday the Massachusetts, So
lon put the proposition to Ballinger.
Senator Crane, according to au-
lucrative information, told Bal
linger yesterday that he must step
down within a few weeks after the
report Of the Congressional inyesti-
eating committee is made public.
The committee meets at MinneapoA
lis during the week Of September IL.
Its verdict on the conservation contro-
versy exonerating the Secretary will
be given to the public almost imme-
diately. Ballinger is expected to re-
tire to his law practice in Seattle
and at some time prior to the wind
up of the Congressional campaign.
Taft has felt a peculiar delicacy
about informing Ballinger Of the tre-
mendous pressure brought to bear
upon him to change the present re-
gime at the Interior Department, and
the plan Of having the proposition
put to Ballinger by party leaders was
the outcome Of much thought on the
part of the Presidents political ad-
visers.
At the Executive offices today no
information was vouchsafed in regard
to the matter, and it was stated that
Senator Crane had no appointment
with the President. The Massachu-
setts Senator, however, is one of the
few for whom the latch string on the
Taft cottage always hangs out, and he
