MIGHTY DEMONSTRATION
OF APPROVAL.
Jury Was Out But Ten Minutes and
Took One Ballot-Statement
With Verdict

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Feb.
1e.-United States Senator Thor-
as Pryor Gore late today was es-
onersted Of charges Of improper
conduct by a verdict In his favor
returned IN district court here In
the suit for $4,000 damage In
stituted by Mrs. Minnie e. Bond.

minutes after the case was given
TO the jury. Only one ballot was
taken.

Insufficient upon which TO base
a suit; that said evidence wholly
esonerstes the defendant and had
the defendant, at the conclusion
OF the plaintiffs evidence an
nouneed that he desired TO intro
duce no evidence and rested his
case, our verdict would have been
the same In that event as now re-
turned by US, In favor OF the de-
fendant.
Despite the efforts OF bailiffs I,
maintain order when the last word

ATTEMPT AT COERCION FAILS.
Editorial from Aurora Observer.

Editorial from Aurora Observer
That Congressman Hawley and his
campaign managers are fearful of de-
feat is evidenced by the attempt made
to whip into line" the newspapers
that refuse longer to overlook Haw-
ley's failure to accomplish anything
for the first district or for Oregon.
The Observer, exercising it's unques-
toned right to support the candidate
it deems best fitted for the position,
selected Frederick Hollister as its
choice, chiefly because it admired
him for his integrity, his energy and
his ability as a business man. His
success in private life and the uni
versal respect in which he is held in
his own section of the state, together
with his sound, broad views upon
every question of Importance to Ore
solid reasons for wishing to send him
to Washington to succeed w. c. Haw-
ley, whose chief success has been in
drawing $500 and mileage annually
from the United States treasury for
nearly eight years together with S75
a month and other compensation
from the Woodmen of the World as
one of their head managers). Be
lieving Hawley's services were harm
less rather than effective. the OBJ
server declared its support of Mr.
Hollister in the certainty that he can
and will accomplish the vital things
for this district and this state which
Hawley has failed to accomplish.

EFFICIENCY THE cHRoNoMErER

The local political pot is beginning
to boil. Candidates galore are abroad
in the land. Those who assume par
tisanship essential in national poll
tics cannot properly contend it essen
tial in county politics. County poll
tics bears alone on efficient admin
istration-good service-effective
acceptable effort.
There business, not politics, is the
chronometer. The same rule should
be applied as maintains in the sue
cessful business enterprise same
relation between the official and the
public as is properly established be-
tween the private employer and the
employe-the tenure should be deter
mined entirely upon efficiency in
service. Successful business men do
not gauge service by sentiment-re-
suit is the basis of action. A good
employe-one who delivers the goods
is valuable, and the longer in SER
vice the more valuable he becomes
by reason of his familiarity with the
details of the work. The business
man who applies the rule of changing
employees every little while simply for
change, or because some one else
needs the job, is doomed to utter fail
ure. His business will soon sink
into the same state of disorganiza-
ton. inefficiency and improbable
production that marks the average
public business. To have apprentices
always on the job is bad business.
The good business man retains an
employe so long as he delivers good,
profitable service. He discharges
him the minute he fails to do that.
That is the reason well-regulated pri-
vate enterprise succeeds. The con-
verse accounts for most public busi-
ness failing. The people too often
do not exercise good business judg-
ment in selecting servants and retain
ing those who perform the service ac-
ceptably.
Sheriff Singler should be retained
in office because he has rendered eff
ficient service and is better quail
fled, by reason of his experience in
the work, for the coming term than
he was for the last or another man
could be without experience.
Chauncey Florey has had lot of
experience in handling county rec
ords. He has made good. Not only
is he popular and trustworthy, he is
competent as well, and his familiarity
with the work at hand is valuable to
the taxpayers. He has passed his
days of apprenticeship and is now a
full-fledged, efficient hand at the
business. He should be retained in
the employ of Jackson county.

-"I AM FOR MEN"

The Tidings editor long ago deter
mined that for him the day of "yel-
low dog partisanship was over.
Sorry to admit, in his younger days
he was that kind. He could see moth
ing good in anything that did not
bear the regular republican brand.
And then the awakening came. He
discovered that partisanship was the
instrument through which politicians
had the voters rake the chestnuts out
of the fire, and there was a great lot
of personal favors and very little
principle in it. Since then he has
tried to examine into the personal
merits of opposing candidates, with
out regard TO party brand, and sup
port the one he was convinced would
be most to the interest of his COM
munity. 1t is not enough that a
man is a good republican; he must
be a good man for the place. One
who can and will deliver the goods.
In determining who the Tidings
would support for congress this rule
was applied. The records were
searched. Hawley had been in office
eight years. What had he accom-
plished? The records would show,
but they showed only that when Can
non blew his nose Hawley sneezed.
That was all. He lacked individual
ity and punch. He stood for prohibi-
ton, but for four campaigns secured
the solid backing of $500 German
Catholic votes who were opposed to
prohibition. He represented Oregon.
but the records showed on practically
all important issues Hawley was eth
er absent" or mot voting" But
five bills passed, and those by "unan-
imous consent" On the other hand
we watched the candidacy of Mr..
Hollister. His record showed him
clean on moral issues. He stood for
equal suffrage and national prohibi-
tion. He had clean and successful
business record. He was a good
public speaker. He was a man of
principle and force. He was a south
ern Oregon man. Too long had
southern Oregon influence been nil,
both in state and nation, and that
entered into our consideration. When
the investigation came to an end we
could see but one proper result for
this section: the election of Freder-
ick Hollister and the retirement of
Mr.. Hawley.

THE CAMPAIGN is OVER.

The campaign is nearly closed.
Tomorrow the last chapter in the
election of 1914 will be written by
the voters. II should be settled by
a fearless. independent ballot. There
is much more at issue than the as
tendency of any political party. The
campaign of DR.. c. ]. Smith has had
the ring of true sincerity clear
through. His was the speech of an
honest, progressive, fearless business
man. He is four square on moral
issues without the least hint of eva
sion. He stands erect and is not
afraid. He discusses, without fear,
the great issues of the campaign. He
is a man with a mission. His pro-
gram is constructive. He knows why
he seeks to be governor of this great
state and does not hesitate to state
the reason for the faith that is in
him. He wastes no time on word pic
lures Ou NuC SlGdAutSS anu SlOA iCS VI
Oregon or its sun-kissed hills. He
understands that God made these and
wants to know what the men and
women of Oregon are going to do tC
make them more glorious. He i:
dominated by no machine and shack.
led by no manager. He makes hi:
campaign in his own way with con
fidence in the righteousness of hi:
cause.
There is no question as to what
the voters of Oregon ought to do anC
there is little question as TO wha
they will do. DR.. c. j. SMITH will
be elected by such a majority as t.
prove lasting lesson to corrupt ma
chine domination. He has made
splendid, clean campaign, the effor
OF a patriotic, Christian statesman.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.
portland Journal.l


In Oregon there are two principal
candidates for governor. They are
c. ]. Smith and DR.. Withycombe.
No other candidate has even the
most distant chance of election.
Votes cast for any other candidate
will be votes thrown away.
They will be votes cast without the
slightest chance of exercising direct
influence on the result. They will
be votes cast without the slightest
hope or expectation of being thrown
for candidate who may win.
Either c. j. Smith will be elected
governor or DR.. Withycombe will be
elected governor. 1t is from these
two candidates that the people will
make their choice.
There is a wide difference between
the two men. DR.. Withycombe thinks
this nation made a mistake when il
failed to elect" as he says, that
great statesman, Taft" and C. J
Smith is a follower of the Wilson.
Lincoln school of thought. One is a
reactionary and the other a progress
sive. Their candidates. are a clean.
cut contest for supremacy between
reactionary government and gov
ernment of progress.
1t is no time for a division o.
strength among progressive forces
All the standpatters will go sOlidl!
for DR.. Withycombe. Every votel
who believes that we should not tur1
backward ought to be behind c.
/ Smith.
Votes thrown to other than thes'
two candidates will be futile ant
wasted.

port of Mr.. Hollister word came to
Aurora from the republican congress
sional committee, of which Ronald G.
Glover (Hawley's private secretary
is secretary, that the Observer must
be brought into line," that the OBJ
server MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO
SUPPORT HOLLISTER. This at
tempt at coercion and intimidation
by Mr.. Hawley's private secretary
single business man OF Aurora, for
not one ever requested the Observer
to support Hawley, thereby recogniz-
ing its right to be free from that
coercion, intimidation and pressure
which Glover was SO ready to apply
The Observer resents this attempt az
intimidation, as every decent news
paper in this district should, and feels
only contempt for the motive and the
spirit that prompted ii. Other news
papers may have had the same ex-
perience. Whether they have or not
they will condemn vigorously every
such effort at coercion and control
of the editorial columns of any news
paper. Such tactics will win Hawley
no votes, and brands the author OF
them as a Kindergarten in politics,
without knowledge OF political moral
ity or respect for it,
