Stanton Says He Was MisquOted
Hood River, June 8, 1915

I1UUu hlNGI, june o. lJl9.
Editor Glacier: In the evening Tel
egram of Thursday, June a. 1914, Mr.
S. Benson, of Portland, was quoted as
saying with reference to the Columbia
river highway:
"There has been a feeling among
some Hood River people that the sum
of S75, 600 would not complete the work
undertaken, and that they would make
the expenditure and still be without a
through road. | guaranteed the court
that money would make a passabe
highway on the state survey through
the county. Judge Stanton stated that
he felt the people of the county would
not oppose bond issue on such ba-
sis. "
With reference to the above | wish
to say, that it is absolutely untrue. At
that time Mr.. Benson had not even de-
cided to make the above guarantee, so
far as | was Informed, ard it is certain
that never made the statement .attrib-
uted to me and never heard tell of it
until saw it in the Telegram. 1t is
not only untrue, but the statement is
foolish, as there is sure to be vigorous
opposition. ! called MIR. Benson's at
tention to that statement and the said
that he had been misquoted and agreed
to make a denial of the same, but up
to date have not heard of his doing
so, hence | make the above statement
on my own behalf. +. Z. Stanton,
County Judge.
