Sheriff

HAVE HERETOFORE formally an
nounced my candidacy for the
nomination for Sheriff on the Re-
publican ticket to be voted upon at
the coming primary election May
10, 1916.
l have held the position of Dep
uty Sheriff during the past four
years. 1t is unanimously conceded
that marked improvement has
been made in all departments of
the Sheriff's office during the in
cumbency of the present Sheriff.
The records in the office at the be-
ginning of the present administra-
tion were considered the worst in
the state. They are now consid-
cred equal to any and better than
most.
The work of tax collection has
been systematized so that quicker
and better service is now being
rendered, and taxes collected at a
much less cost than heretofore.
l am fully conversant with the
duties and needs of the office for
which | aspire.
If am nominated and elected
pledge myself:
1st-To maintain the office in
its present efficient condition.
2nd-To endeavor to further
improve the service to taxpayers
and to minimize the cost thereof.
3rd-To impartially perform all
duties and enforce all laws.

Pendleton East Oregonian, April
27, 1916: Mr. Olcott has been a re-
publican all his life and he has made
a record as secretary that justifies a
reelection if efficiency is an asset in
politics.
Yet because he is not of the old
guard type the claim is made that he
is not a republican and he should be
massacred, slain and slaughtered.
In taking this line of action are not
the old guard managers drawing the
circle too narrow and won't they hurt
themselves? Would it be a good
thing for the republican party to have
its state managers set up the rule
that no matter how a man may regis
ter he is not republican unless the
old guard says so? Would not such
condition cause about half of the
republicans of the state to be ostra-
c'sed?
Will republicans who believe that
some Independent thinking in politics
is wholesome, not sinful, sanction the
warfare being made against Oregon's S
competent secretary of state?

"Also, it would be hard to select
more competent, safer or more eff
clent secretary of state than the pres
ent incumbent, Ben w. Olcott. He
has established method without extra
expense, system without costly over
head charge, simplicity without sac
rificing completeness. Any citizen
of Oregon can go to the office Of the
secretary of state, as it has been con-
Quoted by Olcott, and without delay
ascertain any fact that is part of any
record that is kept by the secretary.
Everything is indeXed and cross-in-
dexed. No corporation in the state
has its records in better shape or
more easy Of access. No office runs
smoother, with less friction and con-
fusion. All this has been worked

McMinnvile Telephone Register,
April IA, 1916: Hon. Chasrles B..
Moores, standpat of the standpatters,
has filed for the republican nomina-
tion for secretary of state, and will
be in the running against Hon. Ben
Olcott, present incumbent, who is
supposed to be a progressive. Here
we are again. Is this presumed to be
the opening wedge for republican har-
mony in state politics? If the demo-
Gratis nominate a good man for this
place they stand a good show of add
ing another state office to their belt.
Probably no state in the Union has
better secretary of state than Ben
Olcott Besides inaugurating many
new and beneficial features in his
office, all tending to perfect system,
he has been the guide through the
maze of conflicting legislative enact
ments, compiling and culling out so
that the average citizen could get an
intelligent understanding as to where
he was at. If MIR. Moores can beat
him he is good man.

Oregon Newspapers
On Ben w. 0lCOtt

Warrenton News, May 4, 1916:
Ben Olcott's fidelity to republican
principles should have been ques-
toned four years ago, and the re-
publican voters should have defeated
him then for the nomination if they
considered his offense sufficiently
serious to overcome his demonstrated
efficiency in the office to which he
was appointed by Governor West.
But they did not so consider it. In
answer to a personal letter the ed
itor of the News refused to support
Mr.. Olcott in the primaries four years
ago; but the Oregonian and other
allies of c. B. Moores did not raise
the partisan issue at that time, and,
having failed to do so then, the at
tempt to do so now will cause the
voters to believe that it is being done
for a personal and not for a patriotic
or even a partisan purpose, and that
private and not public interests incite
their belated denunc'ation of a pub
lie official whose efficiency every
body admits.
If Olcott had been a mere under
study of his eXcellency, without any
manhood or independence of charac-
ter, we would have heard nothing Of
the candidacy of Mr.. Moores.
The governor, secretary of state
and state treasurer constitute what
is termed the state board of control
and have full control Of all state in
stitutions and purchase of all sup
plies. 1t is important to the state of
Oregon that this board be composed
of men whose judgment is unbiased
and who will decide questions upon
their merits and not be influenced |
by any undue friendship for each 9th
er. Olcott and Governor Withycombe
have not agreed upon all matters
coming before the board, and, be-
cause of this disagreement, the gov
ernor is making strenuous efforts to
secure the defeat of the secretary of
state. If he can secure the nomina-
tion and election of C. B. Moores it
IS fair to assume that the two (con-
stituting a majority of the board)
will act together and absolutely con-
troll in all matters of board policy.
For many years no republican has
been reelected governor, and if this
deal goes through the 1918 election
will be no exception to the rule
