J.00 Weekly, per year 1.60 O. P. Cosliow, democratic candi date for United Stnto senator, va- born at Brownsville, Oregon, in 18(5.?, where his fnliier settled in 3S51, and his mother, who was a daughter of Uncle Billie Cochran, settled in 1S4S. He was educated in the public schooN at Brownsville, high .-chool at Port land and UmverMtv of Oregon at Kugene. Ho studied law with Hon. J. K. Wcnthcrl'ord of Albany Oregon. Cosliow. where be lived for nearly three years. Later be moved to MuMiunville, Yam hill county, Oregou, and practiced law there for nearly five years. In 1S97 he moved to Itoreburg, Oregon, "where by close application to business and strict fidelity to his clients' interests, he has built up, a large practice. In 1904 he whs nominated by tho demo crats for state senator, and wa elected by a majority of 272, over coming u normal republican majority of 1,000 in a total vote of a little over 4.000. His democracy is of the old fash ioned kind that expresses its es.-ence in the sentence, "Equal rights and exact justice to nil. special privileges to none." He believes that this max im should be carried into execution. His faith in the reality of this demo cratic doctrine was expressed in his bill to increase the pay of juror.-.. At that tme jurors were receiving two dollars jer day, not sufficient in most instances to pay their expenses while attending to their disngrccablu nuhlie duties. While bills almost without number were being intiodueed to in crease the salary of officers seeking their official positions, he pressed his bill for n raise of jurors' pay to four dollars per day so as to pay all. their espouses at least while they were per iormmg important public duties thrust upon them by lnw. Hut the jurors were not at the legislature to press their claim, nor could they" have paid lobby there, and the bill was amended by the committee fixing their pay at three dollars. This bill is typical of the attitude of Mr. Co show. Jf elected to congress tho spe cial interests will not be favored bv him, but his utmost endeavor will lie to protect the people against the few who beck, through partial laws, to enjoy special advantages to the dis advantage of. the many. Ho advocates liberal laws for, and liberal treatment of, tho sturdy people who are building homes on our frontiers, and in more generous expenditures of the funds collected for reclaiming our and lands. Oregon's full quoin o this sum should be spent in Oregon. (Paid Adv.)

'Thi is by i'nr oie of tho host box it MEDFORD'S IT IS it mistake to say that tho present struggle for the nomination of a county .judge for Jackson county is an effort on the part of Ashland to strike at Medford through the nomination of Judge Dunn. It is rather a final effort on the pttrt of the reactionaries throughout the county, financed by the reactionaries of Ashland, to block progress, and as Medford has been the leader among pro gressives, the fight litis taken the form of a cainjmign against this city. Combined with this is the sectional prejudice thus aroused. There are many progressives in Ashland. Most of them oppose Judge Dunn just as earnestly sis the jn'ogressives of Medford do. There are some reactionaries in Medford. They can all be found supporting Judge Dunn. The same conditions obtain elsewhere throughout the county. A little group of Ashland reactionaries are campaign ing for Dunn. They are assisted by a similar group of Medford reactionary mossbaeks. The same crowd worked against the road bonds and have opposed every progres- sive issue brought be tore tne people, aney maice a lot 01 noise, but don't count for much in elections. The attitude of Dunn's supporters toward Medford is best reflected by the following excerpt from the Ashland Tidings, Dunn's official organ, whose publisher is can vassing the count v for Dunn: "Who said Medford? Med ford Medford let's see. Looking at the map, we find such a name attached to a burg just below Phoenix. It is a little place with very big pretensions. The only really big thing about it is its gall. Like the little pig, ever squealing for more, it keeps its throat sore blustering, booming, blustering. After a while the butcher comes along, and with one swipe of his long knife a trick is turned silence and pathetic dust. The butcher-man is abroad in the little burg.' In Dunn they think they have found Medford 's butcher but in killing Medford, "they also kill Jackson county, and enterpriseand progress flown, -we have "silence and pathetic dust." But Medford is not rcadv for the slaughter. "AWAYS A PROGRESSIVE." UPOX the republican ballot following Den Selling's name occurs the words "Always a progressive. Presidential primaries. "Work industriously for Oregon." "Was Mr. Selling a progressive when he supported Jay Bowermau, assembly leader and stand-pat candidate for governor? "Was Mr. Selling a progressive when as state senator he voted against an endorsement of the Oregon system at the last session of the legislature? "Was Mr. Selling a progressive when he served as chair man of Taf t's Oregon committee to carry Oregon for Tai't and reactionary polities? , ' If Mr. Selling was a progressive would he be'supported by the Oregonian, the Medford Sun and all the stand-pat papers of the state, and by Jay Bowcrman and till the old machine leaders? If Mr. Selling was a sincere progressive he would stand by the Oregon system every time opportunity offered, lie would be for La Follette or "Roosevelt instead of for Taft. He would be fought bv leaders. Presidential primaries is one of Selling's catch words to catch votes. But Selling never had anything to do with presidential primaries. They originated in the fer tile brain or Ins opponent, Jonathan Bourne, a true pro gressive, who wrote the constitutional amendment and had it submitted to the people. This is a cheap attempt to steal credit. ""Work industriously for Oregon." Was Mr. Selling working industriously for Oregon when he fought the Crater Lake road bill? Was he working industriously for Oregon when he slaughtered the normal schools of the state? If this is a sample of his industry, southern Ore gon wants none of it. As a matter of fact, Selling is the machine stand-pat Taft senatorial candidate and as such is entitled to the vote of no progressive in Oregon. LA FOLLETTE'S OPEN LETTER. ATTENTION is called to the open letter of Robert M. La Follette to the voters of Oregon, published else where. This is the clearest, most concise statement of the issues of the campaign submitted by any candidate, and indicates that La Follette has the best conception of the situation of any of the candidates. La Follette 's administration record proves his ability to grapple with and solve the problems before the Ameri can people. -In all his long career he has ever proven faithful to the cause. in both republican and democratic parties the fight is between progressives and reactionaries. The progressives of each believe in the La Follette program. The reac tionaries of each are at heart stand-patters or rather dis believers in so-called popular government. Whichever party nominates the sincere progressive will secure the progressive vote, for the voters have learned to shuffle off the shackles of partisanship that enslaved the m and place principle a hove party.
