Western Crook County Fights Court House Plan and Ring Control
A Western Crook County appeal denounces the county court and Prineville influence over county business. It urges voters to elect Western Crook’s R. H. Bayley as county commissioner to balance power, unite parties, and oppose a Prineville driven court house project and alleged fund shifting. The piece endorses Bayley and criticizes the Prineville ring while urging support for socialist candidate J. B. McDowell later in the race.
