Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pen Pictures of Representative Men of Oregon Some one who evidently knew what he was talking about has said Oh, that mine enemy would write a book. Well, we have written ours, and here it is for our enemies to make the most of. We expect and welcome criticism, realizing only too well that our little work is incomplete, and perhaps somewhat crude in detail. Our only excuse is the hurried manner in which it has been prepared and the difficulties encountered in securing the necessary data on which to base our sketches. We have in six short weeks written brief biographies of upward of two hun dred and fifty of the representative men of our State, resid ing in all its distant nooks and corners. This has entailed no small amount of labor on our part. Such being the -case, we would crave the friendly indulgence of our readers and ask of them, so far as consistent with their good nature, to pass our imperfections by. While we would not have them imagine that we have written biographies of all our representative men, still, we do flatter ourselves that those we have secured stand prom inent in their respective stations. We may at some future time complete the task that has thus far been but barely commenced. Meanwhile, ' we set this little waif afloat upon the almost bound less sea oi literature, trusting that it may at least fill its allotted sphere; and, sometime, in the dim future, when those whose names are inscribed herein shall have passed away, serve to re call their virtues and bring to mind the then representative men of Oregon. If it will do this, and at the same time please our patrons, we are content. Thanking a generous public for the lib eral support accorded us, we remain very respectfully their obe dient servants, the publishers.

Download or read book Boss Simon Joseph Simon The First Jewish Republican Senator written by Richard Simon and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political devil. The Judas Iscariot of Oregon politics. Little Napoleon. Those are among the terms used to describe Joseph Simon, the nation's first Jewish Republican senator. Oregon's Boss Simon was a machine politician who hobnobbed with U.S. presidents. But he had an ugly falling out with Teddy Roosevelt, accusing the president of discriminating against him because he was Jewish. The author had heard about his famous relative. But no one in the family knew much about Senator Simon. So, Richard Simon, a former congressional correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, looked into Senator Simon's life. What he discovered was a man described as "worse than a Southern Pacific train robber." Joe Simon's election to the U.S. Senate was called "one of the greatest political surprises ever.'' Simon, an attorney for powerful railroads, played a critical role in the development of the Pacific Northwest.
