The Thursday morning edition notes HK Woodward and Company as publishers with Woodward listed as editor and publisher.
The piece comments on a Democratic tactic linking a candidate to Dr. Withycombe’s farmer professor role and horse doctor image, predicting strong voter response from Oregon farmers. It mocks the approach as childish and contemptible while noting the May 17 1908 date in the issue.
In a Friends church Sunday service Rev. Hollingshead stated he cannot claim indifference to fighting a great social evil where saloons are absent. He referenced Newberg and its motto to urge neighborly action.
A blunt editorial attacks Democratic senators in Washington and argues Oregon voters should support a Democratic U S senator and governor to back the Republican president, framing the move as timely for national unity.
A Friends church speaker praised Newberg for the best voting record on the local option law two years ago and urged a strong turnout to defeat the amendment urged by liquor dealers. Voters were urged to vote 305 X No on June 4th.
The Salem Statesman reports that Governor Chamberlain and the Democratic Party publicly praise the direct primary while effectively ignoring it in practice. Conventions ratify the prior work, turning the direct primary into mere form rather than a genuine change.
The text argues against circulars linking women’s suffrage to equality and notes liquor dealers fund campaign documents. It asserts liquor opposition to suffrage refutes claims that election results would stay unchanged if women could vote.
The Eugene Register notes Democratic calls to vote for the man target Republicans, while urging Republicans to accept the advice and vote party and candidate together. It praises the strategy as a strong combination for Republicans to support the ticket from top to bottom.
The article details a harsh attack on Dr. Withycombe the Republican gubernatorial candidate. It notes his English youth, naturalization, and subsequent American citizenship voting behavior. It compares his case to that of Thomas Tongue, who also pursued citizenship naturalization in 1888.
The piece accuses Dr Withycombe of delaying naturalization to prove his citizenship while labeling the attack as baseless and politically foolish. It portrays the criticism as led by a fool and knave within the state democratic campaign.
The Salem Journal claims two congressmen Hawley and Ellis are the dry candidates who carried the primary by promoting prohibition. It states both are total abstainers and vow to push dry legislation. The piece implies the Journal seeks blame on Republican nominees while predicting Oregon voters will vote June 4.
In a call for civility during political divisions, the author urges neighbors and friends not to backbite or misrepresent opponents. He warns against self righteous posturing and challenges those claiming virtue to act with genuine charity, not hollow display.
A collection of proposed amendments and laws includes granting cities exclusive power to regulate charters, allowing state control of printing and printer compensation, extending Initiative and Referendum to local laws, prohibiting discrimination by railroads and public services, and licensing requirements for sleeping car, refrigerator car, oil, express, telegraph, and telephone firms. The referendum asks whether funds should be used to maintain state institutions such as asylum, penitentiary, schools, university, and colleges.
The editorial argues normal schools are necessary for the public school system and criticizes broader county or high school setups. It asserts support for a single robust State Normal and dismisses smaller "mushroom" normal schools as unfit to serve youth. The piece defends concentrating funds on one strong institution to uplift young men and women.
The notice outlines several proposed amendments: equal suffrage constitutional amendment. local option and toll abolition for Mt Hood and Barlow roads with state ownership. constitutional amendment establishing a method to amend the constitution and applying the referendum to all laws.
