AN OPEN LETTER
To the Voters of the First Congress
siOnaI District.
Roseburg. ore. Feb. 2S. 1914.

Roseburg, Ore, Feb 23, 1914.
Hundreds of people living in every
county in the first congressional dis
trict have never written, telegraphed
or asked me to become a candidate
for congress. However, believing in
the principle that if man wants
anything the best way to get it is to
go out after it, and not wait for il
to come to him, and holding to the
doctrine that under our form of gov
ernment it is no disgrace to seek an
office at the hands of the people,
therefore desire to say that after due
consideration and without any men
tai reservation or undue influence, !
have decided to become candidate
for congress on the republican ticket
at the coming primary election.
Being a stranger to many of you,
at the risk of being called an egotist,
| am going to tell you something
about myself in order that you may
be able to form an opinion as to
whether / am as we'll qualified for
the position as other candidates who
are seeking the office.
First, in order not to try to de-
Ceive you must say that / have as
many faults as the average man, and
when the campaign begins to warm
up the other fellows will tell you all
about them. From first evidence ]
have learned that l first opened my
eyes in modest dwelling on a farm
near Lawrence, Douglas county, Kan
sas, more than half century ago
My father died when | was eight
years old, and | came to Oregon with
my mother in 1870, and settled upon
a homestead in the Yaquina Bay
country. Two years later my mother
died, and | worked for ranchers and
farmers until l was l5, going to the
public schools durpg the winter
months.
From 1876 to 1898 [ worked IL
the logging camps, on the stoca
range and at steamboating. From
1898 to 1898 was county clerk o.
Lincoln county, during which time
studied law and was admitted tc
practice in 1897, since which time
have been in the active practice.
Represented Polk and L,incol1
counties in the legislature three
terms. Appointed register Gf The

hand and captain on steam and sail
ing vessels on our rivers and bays,
with this personal knowledge of Ore
gon | believe that | can be of some
service to the state and the people
whom | seek to represent.
If am elected, come and see me.
Being of modest means, | will not be
able to entertain you in the latest
style, but you will be as welcome
as the flowers in springtime, and if
only have tent on the capitol
grounds, the latch-string will be on
the outside, and there will be no sign,
Keep off the grass"
Sincerely. yours,

Two little lads came to Chicago

sister, but he hasn't yet completed
his journey, and here in Chicago the
two "chanceless" boys have been liv-

Heavy Drop-Corn, Oats,
Coffee Hold Steady.

An early drop Of 7salisc in the wheat
market yesterday was credited 10 selling
by overconfdent buyers OF Wednesday,
whose enthusiasm was based on war news
from Mexico. The decline was aided by
good crop conditions both here and in
Europe and the fact that European mar
kets did not seem to be worried over the
Mexican situation. The local market was
nervous all day and while part OF thu
loss was recovered last figures were at
i4G'sc net declines. Corn made gains on
news from the Argentine that shipments
we're delayed by heavy rains and an ad
vance in Argentine prices. The May op-
ton gained CSC for the day, but the rest OF
the list closed unchanged. Oats were
