“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.'”

On 14 July 1888, Charles married Jennie Priscilla WARREN in Buffalo, NY.

Jennie was the daughter of Daniel Henry WARREN and Harriet Louis HARRIS. She was born 21 Sept. 1864 in Lowell, Orleans Co., VT, and died 7 July 1939 at 74.

Charles James MCCLURE appears in the Buffalo, New York Directory in 1890. He was a telegraph operator living “over 21 Tennessee”.

I’m aware that he worked as a telegraph operator for the railroad, at least when young, for which reason Albert was born in Utica MN, and know they were living in northern Idaho when Albert was 10 years of age in 1910.

Children were:

  • John “Johnnie” F. b. April 1889 in New York
  • Ruth C. b. 1894 July 1 in Pennsylvania, died 1975 July in Leavenworth, Chelan, Washington, married 1934 Nov 14 in Chelan, Washington to Eunace Samuel Gaines b. 1897 July 29 in Missouri, died 1975 April in Leavenworth, Chelan, Washington.
  • Gertrude Martha b. August 1896 in Pennsylvania, died 1947 Jan 14, a patient at Eastern State Hospital, Medical Lake, Spokane, Washington
  • Albert Harry b. 1900 Oct 25 in Utica, Winona, Minnesota, died 1987 Oct 8 m. Dorothy M. Mitchell
