like a great cataelysm over bloody Eu-
rope. would they reverse the woodrow

What do these calamity screams by
the standpat squad. these Chinese egg
sobs mean but an attack on the things
Woodrow Wilson has done?
Woodrow Wilson has done wha;
Abraham Lincon would have done.
Woodrow Wilson's work is what Abra-
ham Lincoln's work would have been.
The standpat squad in Oregon is more
out OF tune with the republican masses
in oregon than is Woodrow Wilson.
Now is a good times for local peo-
pie to hark back to one October day
two years ago when
He Stood for group Of businessmen
Pendleton. on the invitation Of
the Commercial Club
managers gathered at a luncheon at |
the Hotel st. George to show honor to
DR.. c. J. Smith and T. C. Taylor who
were then preparing to leave the city. |
Both men had been faithful. wheel
horses for years in the upbuilding of
Pendleton and Umatilla county. II
vas the general desire to honor these
men in emphatic manner so they
would know the people of Pendleton
appreciated the services they had
rendered this community.
The high compliment paid DR..
Smith at that time is particularly
worthy of mention now because he
Is a nominee for governor. Two
ears ago he was hailed as a man who
did great things for Pendleton and
EASTERN oregon and he was given the
yarmest praise by speakers repre-
enting all political factions. 1t was
| time when the mask was off and
men spoke what was in their hearts.
The things said Of DR.. Smith two
ears ago are as true now as they
yere then. The DR.. Smith who was
hen praised as having labored ear
testify and effectively for the COM
nunity's welfare and for the advance
nent OF the county is the same DR..
mith who is running for governor.
Two years ago the people Of PEN
Teton thought so much of DR.. Smiths
fforts in behalf OF the town and ,
ountry that at the instigation of re- &
ublicans they gave luncheon in his '
onor, presented him with a silver
ard case as token of their esteem
nd passed resolutions warmly COM I
lending him. 1t was a nice compli. r
ent TO DR.. Smith and it was we'll n
eserved because no man ever worked =
lrder or more ably than he for the ;,
tvs welfare and progress. L
