under the high tariff. The sheep in
dustry is unusually prosperous and all
sheepmen say so. The price of cattle
and other livestock is higher than
ever before. The price of wheat dur.
ing the past year has broken records.
Last fall how did the administration
trample on the oregon wheatraisers? I?
Was the wheatman assailed when the
secretary OF the treasury at crop mov-
ing time took quick and strong action
to offset a threatened money strin-
gency and thus caused the farmers TO
get just prices for their produce =?
Has the tariff law injured the farmers
through reducing the duty on grain
bags? Has the administration injured
Oregon by opening public lands to
settlement and taking practical steps
to aid irrigationists and other set
tiers? AS for the currency law it is
declared by all classes to be the most
wholesome and useful measure en-
acted since the civil war. Wall street
is the only party that was stung by
the law.
The Oregonian's methods of fight
ing Wilson are exactly of the Hearst
pattern. Life is too short for such
stuff as that and the people should
, not tolerate it.

II DR.. C. j. Smith was as bad an
actor as the oregonian claims he was
as mayor of Pendleton, why its anx-
iety to prevent him from getting the
democratic nomination for governor ?
Since it is to support the republican
nominee for governor and try to beat
the democratic nominee, what Is the
Oregonian's reason for attempting to
prevent the democrats from nominat-
ing Smith?
Why is 1t afraid to have Smith as
the democratic nominee?
Why the almost two columns of
stuff printed this morning in an at
tempt to discredit the statements OF
the many who positively state that
as mayor of Pendleton, DIR. Smith in
augurated many moral reforms? Why
two columns of words, which. when
analyzed. contains absolutely no
by hint and inuendo attempt to say
that as mayor he merely continued
the policy of preceding Pendleton
mayors?
There are sixteen candidates for
governor, of whom eight are republi-
can, two progressive, one independent
and five democrats. Among all these
aspirants. the Oregonian has singled
out but one for attack. OF the eight
republicans it has said nothing. AS II
is to support the republican. under
any ordinary circumstances, its nat.
ural activity would be to discuss the
republican aspirants.
But on the subject of the republi,
can candidates, it has nothing to say
On the subject of the progressives, Il
has nothing to say. On the subject o.
four of the democrats, it has nothing
TO say.
1t has singled out DR.. Smith as 6
man to persecute. 1t has selected hin
as the man on whom to play its usu
al game of character assassination
1t is fighting DR.. Smith in the pri
maries because 1t is afraid of him a!
