Pass during the past week, and in
speaking Of his condidacy and that
OF his opponent said:
I see Mr.. Congressman Hawley
tells the people OF Josephine county
that he Will not vote for Cannon for
speaker of the next house If elected
representative in congress. Who
will Mr.. Hawley vote for? And with
whom will he vote? If he does not
vote for Cannon, will he vote with
reactionaire. The people of jose
phine county and Of Oregon are
progressive. They want to be rep
resented in congress by man who
will stand by Murdock, Bristow,
Cummins, La Toilette and Roosevelt,
rather than one who plants himself
squarely against what these men
stand for and vote for.
In the last congress Mr.. Hawley,
on March 10, voted to fasten the old
rules on the house. On the same
day he voted against a resolution re-
stricting the committee appointing
power OF the speaker. On the same
day he voted for the Fitzgerald re-
solution emanating from Tammany,
compromising the whole position Of
the progressives.
On January he voted against
placing the election of the commit
tee to investigate department Of in
terror and bureau OF forestry in the
house as whole, instead OF by the
speaker.
On March 10 he voted against |
Norris substitute resolution to in
crease rules committee to ten, six
members from majority party, four
from minority party, committee to
appoint It's own chairman. The very
essence OF insurgency reform is
couched in this resolution. Here
Mr.. Hawley shines as a standpatter.
Here he creeps into the front row by
the side OF Cannon.
Oregon gave this vote for Payne,
Aldrich, Cannon, Standard Oil and
rubber that Medford might have her
federal building. Ashland Is now
promised another VIII standpattism

another vote for Cannonism?
know the people OF Ashland,
Medford and Grants Pass and
know that none Of these want feder-
al buildings purchased at the price
Of national seml-servltude and de-
pendence. In the next congress fed
eral buildings and progressive legis-
lation will go hand In hand II signs
do not fail.
Congressman Hawley did his worst
service for Oregon when Cannon had
forced upon him the amendment TO
the railroad regulation rate bill.
This amendment throws the burden
ot showing cause for rate disCrimin-
alton upon the railroads rather than
upon the Interstate Commerce com
