LaCamas Post December 5, 1908
I take this occasion to correct an erroneous opinion which seems to be 
prevalent in some circles, that if I am elected mayor the town of Camas will 
revert to a condition parallel with that which characterized the early mining 
camps of the west.
There are laws provided fro the restriction of every branch of business, and 
if I am elected it will be my earnest endeavor to keep every industry in the 
town confined within the limits of those laws, and I think I am one of a large 
majority who believe that it would be just as injurious to the welfare of the 
town to attempt to introduce the old "holier than thou" blue laws as it would 
attempt to tolerate a violation of the laws above mentioned. I do not wish, by 
this, to make it appear that there will be any attempt to make a Puritanical  
community of Camas, whatever the issue, but what I shall aim at. if elected, 
will be a happy medium between two extremes, with that liberality of view 
necessary to the growth and development of any community.
