strain brought their assessments up
to the standard and he did his work so
carefully and well that his work
stood, All the efforts of the rail-

lawyers could not break down his
assessment. His work held and
Umatilla county has gained hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars through
the vigorous, Independent service rem
oered by Mr., strain, There is no man
IN Cmatilla county half so we'll equip

assessor. He. has information such
as no rival could possibly possess and
which no other man could acquire
save by years of hard work and ex-
perience. Furthermore Mr.. strains
personal honesty is unimpeached. He
has been in office several terms and
has made enemies. But his foes never
dream of questioning his integrity or

For NIammon. could fail to see the
peril in the trust
program upheld by Roosevelt. With
relentless arguments based on clearly
established facts he showed the Roos-

move to emancipate the people but
60 tasten the chains of monopoly and
injustice more securely upon them. 1t

with big business firmly in control
There are many good and patriotic
citizens who endorse the bull moose
cause thinking it means freedom and
progress. They are grossly mistaken.
The men IN control of the movement
and who direct its course plan no
fight on the forces of privilege and
injustice. Instead they are defending
the castle and are going about Il in a
very clever way They have inspired
their followers by telling them they
are battling for the Lore when in re-
aiity the fight they make is all for
Mammon.
Those who stand for progress and
for decency and know what they are
doing will vote No

vote Yes on equal suffrage. The bat

the fight and it is easy to guess where |
It comes from. 1t comes from men !
who for the sake Of greed would tie ,
the people hand and foot to keep them /

who profit by degradation and who.

Virtue in the dungeon, They are
lfraid to take chances with intelli- !.
cent voters. They want to count votes
hat are never cast and count them
IN their side of every issue. They
want to corral and have always at

more wholesome conditions.
If you stand for decency for fair
ness and advancement vote No on the
amendment and vote Yes on
equal suffrage.
