WHY NOT HAVE A CONGRESSMAN OF OUR
OWN?
OWN !?

O TORIES have been wired to many Eastern Oregon
~ newspapers and to the Portland press under the
- name of A. d. Farbarn, member of the press gal
ey" at Washington, exolng the virtues of Congress
man SinnOtt friend of the farmer and an expert on
land development.
Why is necessary that the farmers of Eastern Oregon
should be instructed by this unknown press agent at
Washington as to the virtues Of congressman? Are
they not capable of Judging Mr. Snnott by his record?
Ihe Slnnott record shows he is the author of land
leasing resolution that hits the farmer the livestock grow
Grand the homeseader right between the eyes, That res
oution calls for the very things the farmer and livestock
grower do not want and the fact cannot be denied
denied The Sinnott resolution, from start to finish
snels like StanfieldGoodng deal" and the fact is adj
nted by both friends and foes of congressman? If
that the Snnott idea of what an expert on public lands
should dO is it not time to secure new expert?
Mr. Snnott has also served the Eastern Oregon irrigat
ed farmer by giving him promises that have not been full
filled while the state of Idaho has drawn $12000000 from
the reclamation fund during the Snnot term in office
One reason for this neglect of Eastern Oregon
is that the Oregon delegation at Washington has been u
der Portland domination and has been busy not with de-
veopng the resources of Eastern Oregon but with secur
ing funds for improving the port of Portland and the long
channel to the Perhaps Mr. Sinnott in this respect
has been of service to Portland and the Portland papers
know what they about when they support him for re-
election and ignore the candidacy of Mr. Gwinn
But why should this section of the state defer to the
wishes of Portland when it comes to choosing our own
congressman Portland is not in this district and has
ample representation of its own
Why not send man to Washington who will represent
the district and who in campaign times will not have to re-
y for support upon the Portland press or upon the work
of some scribe in the press gallery at the national capital

THEY ALL SEEM A PRETTY GOOD SORT

NOR the past lS years the writer of this editorial has
been with the East Oregonan ID years of that time
as editor and part owner. During that time many
things have happened and this newspaper has been
through many political campaigns but in some respects
the present primary campaign the most unusual of them
ALL 1t is supposed to be very heated campaign with
much bitterness evnced all Sides Perhaps that is true
to some extent yet there have been many hoy contested
elections in the past and everybody lived through the or
deal alright.
Therefore the East Oregonan does not take the So
called religious issue quite seriously as many do We
are not willing to believe that perfectly honorable and up-
right men become maraudes and menace to society"
by the mere process of joining secret society that is
pledged first of all to uphold the constitution of the United
States and the laws of the land Nor are we willing to
look as many do upon the members of certain great
church as being open to question through membership
therein That church may have its shortcomings as do all
mortal institutions but it has also rendered signal service
to humanity and is entitled to crdit therefore
We may be wrong with reference to those on both sides
OF this supposed controversy but don't think So In the
