The registration of Larkln Grubb of Barren precinct was denied by County Clerk Coleman, Wednesday. Grubb will be 21 upon election day, and registered in Octooer. The county clerk holds that he can vote all right, but (hat he is not an elec tor and not entitled to registration until he has reached his majority, which affidavits say, will be upon the election day. AS a c1rowmn& iVinn datcftes at a fldhting straw, ns iho leader of forlorn hope stakes his all upon impossible dmnee, s6 as a last desperate stroke to secure victory in the battle of the ballots, George, AV. Dunn is flooding the mails with a fjunl appeal for votes. The Mail Tribune has tried to keep out of personalities in the campaign for this office, sineo tho primaries and let the candidates fight it out on their own merits. The issue i? the world-old one of procrress vs. reaction and so thor oughly understood that nothing was to be gained by news paper controversy. This peaceful policy, however, has mot with disfavor on the part of the republican candidate, and tor months his opponent has been recklessly assailed with slander and libel by Dunn's Ashland organ, which finally eul- urinated in the Ashland editor being held to the grand .iiuy for criminal libel. During the past months that the Mail Tribune has kept its hands off the fight, it has been maliciously defamed and assaulted by calumny and slander. And iioW conies George W. Dunn enclosing with his personal letters to the voters of the county a scurrilous circular containing a defamatory and libelous attack upon the Mail Tribune and its editor thus proving beyond a question of doubt that Mr. Dunn has authorized and sanctioned, if he did not originate the campaign of slander. Tho circular is a reprint of one circulated before th primaries, in which certain Medford warrant shavers made t:n indecent exposure of their reactionary minds. It was written to injure Mr. Merrick and Judge Neil, not Mr. Tou Velio and its use by Mr. Dunn at this bite" day, when not all of the signers even fuvor Dunn, shows how hard u(p the republican nominee is for campaign material when lie leplaues argument by personal abuse. This communication from Judge Dunn should bo re garded as a final salute from one who is about, to die politicallv. Wcctvcrt "tho lbt kind of npsurnnco of support tho Ashland cotorln enmo down ono night mid opnncd up thole pot discovery of n cnmpntKn to boat Medford.

Of course Mr. Loovor's friends wore humiliated ns tho frlomls of many other candidates hint boon humiliat ed before by the Ashland cotorlo. They did not wish to nrevdo. Tho usual Ashland coercion about their representing tho ono big town that furnished tho republican majority for tho county, that they hnd a news paper and exhibited Its Oklahoma editor, and that If tho candidacy be tween Dunn and Leevor went to tho republican primary Dunn would win for the reason that he hnd tho solid republican registration nt Ashland back -of him, Well It wrf the snmn old thing) Ashland's buiioh hnd to bavo their way. A fierce campaign was opened and financed by tho Ashland eoturlo nnd It was curried on for monthn until tho nooplo of the county wore exporting to witness the climax of Hoolng the rival town of Medford wiped off the map. When Colonel Tou Velio "cull ed" Kdltor Oroer tho psychological moment had arrived for tho complete wiping lip of Medford.

THE most important measures on the ballot arc the so t called 'majority rule" bills, which provide that a majority of all votes cast at an election must be cast for an initiative amendment or law before it goes into effect. The measures are designed to kill the initiative in Ore gon. The are in effect in Oklahoma, and Oklahoma has never been able to pass an initiative law, though as high as PO per cent of the voters voted upon the bill. The more ignorant and least intelligent seldom vote upon the initiative measures. Ten )er cent of the total vote failing to vote will kill a meritorious measure. ' None of the laws that the people of Oregon have passed would have become laws if the majority maendment had been in effect. While the initiative law probably needs amendment to reduce the number of measures, thisamend- ment would effectually kill popular legislation and put tin jcgisiauuu uuck jiiiu uie legislature ior rue corporate interests to manipulate as of old. If you believe in the initiative and referendum, vote against the majority rule bills. . DEATH DOES NOT EFFECT TICKET. Cut This Out and Take It to the Polls With, You Election Day How to o(e on various lultlaflve and referendum inCusures upon tho ballot nplTJE death of Vice President Sherman will not effect I - the republican ticket in the slightest. Voters do not vote directly ior president or vice president, but lor the electors, who cany out the wishes of the voters as ex Xwessed at the polls. Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the republican national committee, has sent notice to all committeemen to meet in Chicago, November 12, to select a successor to Sherman on the repubh'can ticket. The death of the vice president will not effect the validity of the Taft and Sherman electors. Despatches state that either Governor Herbert S. Had ley of Missouri, Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa or Senator "William E. Borah of Idaho are most likely to fill the vaeancv caused bv Sherman's death. UPTON PLANS RACE ; FOR ROYALTY At FAIR CHICAGO, Oct. 31.

Tho subject of the lecture Friday will be "Tho Greatest Things ill tfafl World." . Anything to Beat Medford The Ashland Tiding In its Issue of October 24, (not the Issue sent trf the voters of Medford) bolts the rep resentative ticket- of both parties and supports the prohibition nominees. This is of small significance In itself but the reasons given shows to what fanatical length this Ashland politic al clique will go to gratify its splene tic prejudice against Medford. Here is the editorial; , "It Is' always wise to work and vote in the Interest of your home town. After having given tho mat ter careful consideration the Tidings believes it Is of Importance to Ash land to have A, W. Sllsby of Ashland and G. A. idorso of Talent as repre sentatives In the legislature from Jackson connty. It appears that every other candidate for tho legis lature lives at Medford. There has been amplo evidence that the gang at Medford insist that Ashland be discriminated against in every in stance where it is possible that the Medford bunch can dictate official action. There will arise many is sues in tho legislature affecting the Interests of this section and other sections of the county outsido of Medford. Ashland Is looking for a square deal. The way to get that Is to look out for yourself Mr. Sllsby and Mr. Morse are 'capable men. While (hey nre not tho nominees of the progressive party, they are both progressives, and are ns good and capable men as are now before the people as legislative candidates. One of the reasons tho Tidings will advocate their election Is because they are geographically located so that they will escape the domination of the Medford bunch, A Central Point View of the Campaign j Central Point, Ore., Oct. 30, 1912. To tho Editer: It docs seem as if tho complote fall down of tho cam paign against Frank L. Tou Vclfo for County Judge is complete enough lo satisfy the most fastidious. Surely Central Point has been sufi flcleutly used by a small coterie of Ashland politicians In their zeal to frame up the towns of tho valley in an antl-Mcdford line-up. Let us to' view; Mr. W, O. Leever's frloiuls have seen his opportunities for public pro ferment sot' aside for years by thd Ashland coterie of politicians and ho saw the time had arrived wnen'w. It. Coleman was retired from furthor political aspirations by an untoward Incident. The psychological moment had arrived as It was necessary for tho republican party to Iiavo a can dldato.
