An Oregon newspaper page urges readers to vote against saloons and saloon influences. It advocates marking the ballot No 305 X for anti saloon candidates and notes Withycombe leads but the margin is unknown. The notice targets liquor dealers and calls for a decisive vote against tavern interests.
For twenty five years Jesse Ed Ward has lived in Newberg and worked to give children the best possible educational advantages. A commendable record for any man and a fact to remember when voting for state senator.
It remains to be seen if a man can win office with solid county whiskey backing on one side and radical prohibitionists on the other. The prospect would be a rare acrobatic stunt and a true record breaker. We shall see what we shall see.
The note warns that the wholesale liquor dealers association backs the local option law amendment and suggests voters should vote no to protect their own interests, urging careful consideration at the ballot box.
In this electoral note the local option law faces two propositions with the county court accused of thwarting voters. It urges voting against the first proposition and for the second, recalling a previous slim majority and calling for a large margin this time. It defends campaign ethics and praises tax advocate Jesse Edwards and the public school project in Newberg as a model Senate choice.
Two years ago proponents argued that passage of the local option law would affect business climate and community outcomes while opponents warned of unintended consequences. The article details ongoing debate and varied perspectives from local officials and business leaders.
The city of Portland, Oregon, is described as a booming business center with more large construction projects underway than ever before. The text praises James Withycombe, a farmer from Washington County, as a fit Republican candidate for governor due to his farming background and work with the Agricultural College. It urges farmers to support him decisively for representation.
The document presents a slate of candidates with party affiliations including J W Mulkey rem D Stevens socialist Jonathan Bourne Jr republican M Gearin democrat B Lee Paget prohibitionist A G Simola socialist H Amos socialist Geo democrat James Withycombe republican T S McDaniel prohibitionist Sroat democrat W C Hawley republican Ww W socialist A C C Brix Chas D Stoutenburg prohibitionist A republican Ww democrat Scovell Socialist E Cc V Kuykendall socialist Sheriff IV v Seots trepu can Frank Brooks socialist J Arms prohibitionist Waters democrat J O Martin socialist H Turner S Clark socialist Pianta H Z Foster republican A M Stratton socialist.
O P HOFF of Multnomah County appears in a local political brief tied to Congressional District 1. Details are sparse but the name and county indicate oversight or nomination activity. The item reads like a clipped notice from a county inspector or candidate filing.
The article warns that grit and old oil wear pivots and reduce accuracy. It urges thorough cleaning and lubrication every eighteen months and promises factory quality service, disassembling the movement and reassembling it for precise regulation.
