The eleventh hour attempt to be-

Is This Why :
Portland Papers
Uphold Sinnott:

Though Portland has spirited
election fights of is own to set
tie tomorrow and though that
city is not in the second con-
gressional the Portland Tele-
gram yesterday devoted its chief
editorial to a demand that East
ern Oregon people reflect Nick
Sinnott to congress.
why are Portland <newspa-
pers so anxious to pick out our
congressman for us is being
asked by local people today. The
answer is not far Off. For years
it has been an open secret over
the northwest that the reason
Eastern Oregon development Is
neglected is that the delegation
at Washington is so occupied
with securing river and harbor
Improvements for Portland that
the interior is sidetracked. in
other words the Eastern Oregon
reclamation appropriations are
traded off for port funds with
the result Idaho and Washing
ton have gotten millions from
the reclamation funds while
Eastern Oregon has been given
the go-by.
Is 1t because Nick Sinnott has
been acquiescent under this ar
rangement that he has such
journalistic support in Portland? +?
He has been u Portland con-
gresham rather than an Eastern
Oregon congressman or is the
Telegram warm for Sinnott be-
cause he did not make fight
against the Wallula cutoff as
our people wanted him to do.
The Telegram was booster for
the mythical cutoff and fought
Eastern Oregon on the fair tax
issue.
It is also significant in this
connection that The Portland
press has not used the facts as
to the Sinnott land leasing biz
which facts are damaging tC
Sinnott but they have given free.
ly of space to explanations from
Mr.. SiDnott on that subject.
Why not send a real Eastern
Oregon man to congress? is be
ing asked today. Why keep |
man there who is strongly sus
pected OF too much sympath,
for another district that ut time
I has interests inimical to ou
! own.
