even though their views differ on the
liquor and gambling questions.
Throwing aside the first principle
of decent journalism the Oregonian
Sunday morning carried a nauseat-
ing story misrepresenting the local
Women's Smith for Governor Club. 1t
claimed the club was turning against
Dr. Smith. 1t reported they were
Gissentious and had decided to investi-
gate his record.
who were present assert the story to
be false from end to end. There was
no dissension and no one quit the club.
Every word spoken was in praise of
Dr. Smith. Stirring resolutions were
adopted in his defense by unanimous
vote and steps were taken TO help his
candidacy in every way possible.
Why did the Oregonian wish to SO
distort the facts? Is that fit way
TO initiate the women into the field
Of politics, a field where honor and
truth should prevail because political
questions vitality affect the happiness
and prosperity Of the people?
The Oregonian in its attacks on Dr..
Smith has not been practicing legiti-
mate journalism. 1t is using the
methods Of the black hand and of
the gutter II is out to assassinate
and destroy and nothing is too foul
for it to do. The Oregonian is show
ing what comes about when a big
newspaper with hirling scribbler at
the helm taking orders from the
money drawer joins hands with or
ganized vice to keep from the gov
ernor's chair man who is pledged
to true blue law enforcement. The
Oregonian's course in this campaign
is Infamous. 1t is the foe Of virtue
and the family fireside 1t plays hand
in hand with the brewer. the dive
keeper and the white SLAYER.

NOT A PARTISAN FIGHT. 1T Is A

A minister was greatly disturbed by
a certain set Of women in his congre-

loud tone during service.
One Sunday morning he executed
plan which he had devised to stop
this annoyance. At given signal the
choir stopped abruptly on certain
word in the middle of hymn.
Then one of the gossips, unable TO
check herself, was heard all over the
church to say:

Sixteen years ago when mayer of
Pendleton DR.. Smith took a stand
against g a m b ling
Advanced The files of the East
Ground for '9s. Oregonian show that
the gamblers were
driven from town when he became
mayor and there are good witnesses
who say that open gambling was not
allowed during his term in office.
-. Gambling may not have been all ELI
minated but at least it was placed un-
der the ban.
On February I, 1898 the East Ore
gopian discussed editorially the sub
ject of reports that gambling games
were being run here. The comment
was as follows:
"Are professional gamblers
running skin games in Pendleton?
1t is alleged there are games
running regularly but there is not
evidence to Support the allega-
ton. In any event there is no
open gambling; no Haunting Of
vice in the faces of those who
would avoid 1t. If there is
gambling done on the quiet in
back rooms those who participate
in 1t do so voluntarily and II
they are victimized it is by their
own consent. Pendleton is no
longer run wide open and should
not be. not even for revenue
purposes"
Those reports and comments show
that the Smith administration took
what was at that time very advanced
ground on the subject of gambling
In those days gambling was common
all over the west and man who OPP
posed II was considered more radical
than is a man who advocates prohi-
bition today. 1t required courage to
oppose gambling 16 years ago. Re-
membrance of those conditions makes
DR.. Smiths record admirable indeed
No matter what his enemies may
dig up. no matter how they may dis
tort the facts, there is indisputable
proof that DIR. Smith was for clean
and orderly town when he was mayor
OF Pendleton. He has always been
that way. Every man that knows
him knows this to be true. The vice
interests Of Portland know it and
that is why they fight him so bitterly.
