WEST PLAYS
AT POLITICS
CRUSADES ALL AGAINST REPUB.
LICAN OFFICIALS.
BOOSTS DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES
Charge Made That Famous CIean-ups
of Oregon Executive Are All Made
to Benefit the Democratic Party
Seems Well Founded.

AS days go on the charge that the
famous clean-ups made by Governor
West throughout the state OF Oregon
have been made for political pur-
poses seems to be getting pretty we'll
proven. 1t is markedly noticeable
that in nearly if not every instance
the state interference has been in
places where the officials were re-
publican. 1t is known that he has
refused to interfere in some towns
where the need was even greater
than in places where he has inter-
fered, and that in the latter places
the officials were democratic.
Not only that, but West, who is
governor by the grace of republican
votes, and who has throughout his
term of office pretended to stand on
a plane above party politics, has dur
ing this campaign written repeated
letters endorsing democratic candi-
dates for office and invariably under
some specious claim of their merit
in some direction entirely non-parti-
san. 1t is the' old, old democratic
scheme of trying to deceive members
of other parties into thinking that
the democratic candidate was but a
poor democart at best and should
have their support.
The letters sent Attorney Kelly of
Medford and Colonel Tou Velle, pur-
porting to be non-partisan praise
from state executive, are as simply
democratic campaign dope as if sent
out from democratic headquarters.
Governor Vests action in these mat
ters has gone far to shake the belief
in his sincerity in his reform atti-
tude, and his praise of democratic
candidates will be taken at much less
than face value by all thinking peo-
pie.

mind whether he would accept or
not
And now with a voice that sounds
as if it needs machine oil on it, once
in a while a democrat will moan,
"The Courier isn't standing by"
If you democrats can pull any
pathos out of this situation-go to
it.
The Courier is out for a man for
congress who will stand by the vot-
ers of Oregon. He's a republican
Bull Mooser, if you will-but he
towers a mile over the big business
handy man we are sending down to
Washington.
It's time to slip the halter, pull
off the tag and vote for men who
ring true.
Give Hawley the harpoon and elect
John w. Campbell. Send a man to
Washington who will represent Ore
gon.

Mr.. DOOley on the Political SitOOwa-

ton.
81 see be the paypers that Mr.. Tou
Valley is publishing his private cor
respondence in Medford Mail Tri-
bune. Now to me minw that is a
rather uncertain way to elict himself
county jedge. How does he know
the Hon. George Chamberlain or Os-
sic West would like to have their
private letters exposed to the pro-
fame view of the common public? Be
the shades of Tommy jefferson, l
take it they will be mighty mad when
they discover this after the election
is over. For if it were not for the
republicans, where could they get
votes enough to elict themselves SEN
ators and governors? There's not
enough democrats in Oregon to elict
one side of ither of them"
Il thought, said Mr.. Hennessey,
that George Putnam was keeping
his lily white hands off the ELECTION"
"Shure he is, but it is this way,
you know. George runs an indepen-
dent paper, and when he prepares
letters for his friend Tou Valleys
benefit and sends them out for sig
natures he naturally feels under OBJ
legations to publish them in a disin-
terested way, you know, when he
gets one back properly signed over
the telephone"
How about the Hildreth letter
from Butte Falls?" said Mr.. Hennes-
sey.
You see, it's this way: 1t appears
from the county records that one
Dunn was county Judge once on
time, and this same Hildreth con-
ceived the idea of having himself ap-
pointed supervisor of one certain
road district and occupied the atten-
tion of the court the better part of
day explaining to the judge his great
qualifications for the office of road
supervisor, but it so happened that
the judge did not agree with him as
to his ability, and knowing he was
always looking for a scrap with one
John Barleycorn and often being ac-
commodate in that line, the judge
turned down his application, which
of coures placed the judge in the in
CRATE class, whativer that may be-"
Did you read the Colonel Mimms
epistle in the Tribune?" said Mr..
Hennessey.
Sure, l did The colonels kind
heart is torn and bleeding in behalf
of Mr.. Putnam's friend Tou Valley.
Wasn't it awful the way that small
coterie of politicians, slumbering in
the southern suburbs of Medford,
handed a lemon to poor Con. Lever?
Divil the thing did Con know about
it, either. And he and his friends
and neighbors were just supporting
Dunn with all their might until Mr..
putnam, tbs SAID, framed up the car
cass of letter for the colonels sig
nature and artistic establishment.
Now it's all off and there will be an
awful surprise after the election
smoke clears away"
well, Mr.. Dooley, don't you think
Mr.. Putnam is more or less disinter-
estedly concerned about the election
of his friend Tou Velle?" said Mr..
Hennessey.
"Oh, no, he's not interested at
all; he's just sitting back and look
ing on. Well, we'll, politics do sure
make strange bedfellows, just before
election. But there'll be a mighty
commotion in certain rooming houses
after election"

The Kites Tail.

Oregon City Courier, October IS,
1912; There has been some criti-
cism of the Courier because it is
supporting a progressive candidate
for congress-and the Courier al
ways likes to explain.
Go out on the street and ask the
first dozen men you meet who the
democratic nominee is, and not one
of them can tell you. They don t
know-not ten in one hundred DO
know.
When the democrat was nominated
it wasn't intended anyone SHOULD
know.
He was NOT nominated to be
elected. He had no hopes to be
in fact, did not even file his accept
ance until 11:30-when John w.
Campbell was nominated by the pro-
gressives at Roseburg.
The democratic nomination was
simply an aid society to Congress-
man Hawley's standpat machine,
and the nominee was simply tail to
Hawley's kite.
And the Courier isn't very strong
on kite tails.
The nomination put up to the dem
ocratic papers of this district a buck
etful of whitewash and a brush and
told them to use it.
1t was a situation forced on them,
one in which they could have no SYM
pathy and mighty little interest.
You know Mr.. Hawley's record
You know how he got into Joe Can
mons Sunday school class in les:
than fifteen minutes after he got
down to Washington, and how he
forgot Oregon under the smile of the
politicians and became big business
preacher. His record published last
week speaks for him-and for itself
And now when the republicans
nominate j. w. Campbell mar
who stands for what we all stanC
for-is it the duty of this sheet t.
hang onto Hawley's kite tail?
Well, not the way the roads are
We are not that quality of a pol
itician-not quite regular" enougl
yet.
The Courier editor wrote the dem
ocratic nominee July 81, asking
there was any truth in the rumo
that he had not qualified for tn
nomination; assuring him that if h
was in the race to win the Courie
would work hard for him, but if h
was not going to make a canva
there was no use.
This paper never got the courtes
OF reply from Mr.. Smith.
Before the Roseburg conventio
nominated Mr.. Campbell, this offic
phoned to the secretary of state an
was informed the democratic nom
nee had NOT filed his acceptance a
that time. Four months after tn
primaries, and he hadn't made up hi

Who can tell why It is that the stars
sometimes seem TO twink and win
kle," as one small boy says. more than
at others? And why do they twinkle
anyway The reason they twinkle is
that their light pierces through many
different heated and moving currents
Of afr. which makes the light reach
our eyes in a crooked or twinkling line
instead Of a straight and steady one.
Wise men tell Us that much twinkling
foretelIs bad weather. because Il shows
that the currents OF afr are much dis
turbed.
