REFLECT SENATOR SMITH.

Members of the local assembly ma
chine are working desperately to
bring about the defeat of Senator
Smith They have imported a press
agent to boost in behalf of their can
diGate for state senator and they are
restoring to various other schemes
which they hope will make votes for
their man.
But if the people of Umatilla, coun-
ty are awake to their own best in
terests they will squelch this move
and squech it decisively. There is
no just reason for any opposition to
Senator Smith. Never has Umatilla
county been represented in the legis-
lature by stronger or more popular
senator. During the eight years he
has been in office DR.. Smith has
earned a state wide reputation as an
able and upright legislator. He has
always stood high with his associates
In the senate and few if any in that
body have been more influential than
he. This regardless of the fact that
he is a democrat Party lines are
rarely drawn in the legislature these
days. Of late years legislators have
been classified not so much by their
party affiliations as by their adher-
ence to or opposition to statement No.
/ Statement men being in the ma
jority and Senator Smith being a
strong Statement No. l man he has
been in harmony with the majority
OF the legislature The argument
that he should not be elected because
ne is a democrat is absolutely bosh.
His democracy has never interfered
with his usefulness in the past and II
viii not in the future.
Against Senator Smith a very es-
timable man is running this year.
But his is running against his will and
was induced to make the race by a
bunch Of local bosslets who think
they have a divine right to dominate
the political affairs of this county.
Furthermore with all fairness TO Mr..
Burgess it is but the truth to say that
he does not compare at all with Sem
ator Smith as a legislative candidate.
Mr.. Burgess is a new man in the
county and his interests are centered
entirely in one line-the sheep busi-
ness. Senator Smith on the other
hand is truly representative man.
He has been here for many years
and is in close touch with the life Of
the entire county. He is Pendleton's
most prominent citizen and knows the
needs OF this town and OF the other
towns of this county. He Is one Of
the big farmers of the county and
knows the needs OF those who follow
agriculture. He was the author Of
the artesian well bill which in time
will do much to advance develop
ment in the dry sections Of eastern
Oregon. He e an irrigationist and as
chairman OF the committee which
worked to have the government ex-
