“Oregon Voter: Magazine of Citizenship for busy men and women, Volume 21”, April 10, 1920 relates:
“E. Lothard McClure of Marshfield is referred to by the Record as ‘one of the foremost criminal lawyers of the city and rated in the front rank of civil lawyers of the state.’ He is a candidate for Coos County district attorney. Either he is a man of highest honor or is making a bid for the bootlegger vote, as his platform promises great caution in undertaking prosecutions.”
His platform is recorded on April 24 of 1900.
“E. Lothard McClure, Marshfield, Rep.
Slogan: A square deal to all. No criminal proceedings to satisfy private spite. Platform: I will, during my term of office, enforce all laws with absolute impartiality, common sense and economy. I will not resort to stool-pigeon testimony, nor compel children who have done a technical wrong to plead guilty to a felony before obtaining clemency. I will convict the boot-leggers of this county and their wealthy patrons, but will not make the poor logger the goat for a pretended law enforcement. I will see that the working men obtains the same consideration as the wealthy banker, and my slogan will be: ‘A square deal to all. No criminal proceedings to satisfy private spite.’”
