The fifth of November la juat two
weeks off. The campaign j fa hi
drawing to a close. VoterB are muk
iug up their minds how to vote on
the various candidates who are on
the ticket for election. The national
Issue Is pretty well settled. The vot
er knows which one of tho three
leading presidential candidates he
will support. On local offices only
be has not fully settled. Campaign
material Is being sent out In an ef
fort to help along the voter and as
sist hlin In arriving at a proper selec
tion. A large amount of quiet work Is
blng directed against George M.
Brown, republican primary candidate
for election to the office of prosecut
ing attorney for Coos, Curry and
Douglas counties.
There are no real good reasons for
no re-electing Brown. There are
many reasons why he should be re
turned to 1111 the office. His greatest
opposition comes from those persons
and Interests upon whom the law has
Invoked Its power and who were com
pelled to bow before the bar of jus
tice. BecniiBe there Is a certain cle
ment In this community which be
lieves that It should be Immune from
the law, and because Brown believed
td the contrary, this element has
started out to defeat tho ablest dis
trict attorney In the state of Oregon.
Mr. Brown has been district attor
ney for n.' number of years. He
snows the criminal law of this state
better, perhaps than any other law
officer or attorney In the state. And
he should. He has had to make a
careful and exhaustive study of its
many phases and ramifications. This
district demands a man as prosecu
tor who does know the law and
what is more to the point a man
who Is not afraid to enforce the law.
Tho duties of this office are In
tricate. They require a man of the
highest skill and knowledge in the
law. They demand a man unim
peachable In Integrity, absolutely Im
partial and fearlessly honest In the
execution of his tritnt imposed by
the duties of his office and the con
fidence of l ho people who placed him
there. Such a man is Cleorge M.
Brown.
He Is not the candidate of any:
one group of men or Interests. Hu
represents no ring. Ho Is succeptl-;
bio to no Influence. His only inter
est in tho office Is to do his duty, and
that duty Is to see that the laws of j
tho stato are enforced. Ho known
no favorites. Ho does not prosocute
any one or any group of individuals
to plenso or placate any other group.
His oath of office Is scrupllously ad
hered to and he has regarded It as an
obligation to the people to be dis
charged honestly and as ably as tils
ability permitted.
His record In tho past 1ms been
that of a faithful public nervant. He
has worked Industriously nnd lu-
defatlglbly In the efforts of law en
forcement. And so far as his work
Is concerned he has done well. He
has not been successful In all bis
prosecution no attorney ever has
been or ever will be but bis efforts
have always been the same. He has
prosecuted as vigorously those caties
In which the verdicts were against
the state as he has those which were
favorable to the state.
As a lawyer he has few peers; as
a prosecutor he has no equal in the
state; as a man he has a character
and reputation of which he may well
be proud, and such a man Is deserv
ing of the support of every citizen
who is Bympathetic with, and favor
able to law enforcement.
The citizenship of this district,
when it reflects upon the public ca
reer of George M. Brown, when It
remembers his standing as a man,
when It takes Into consideration his
fearless stand for law enforcement,
regardless of the standing or position
of those whom the hand of justice
may enmesh, will with a real sense of
their duty to their district voto for
and re-elect George M. Brown to the
high and responsible office of prose
cuting attorney for the counties of
Coos, Curry and Douglas.
COLORADO.
Why The ItepulilIraiiH Have a Fight
ing Chance to Carry the State.
"Although Colorado went demo
cratic four years ago," said Albert A.
Swain, of Denver, Colo., at the repub
lican national headquarters today,
"There Is more than a fighting chance
that Tuft will carry the state this
year. The president's , strength Is
growing every day.
"The two principal Interests in
Colorado are conservation and the
tariff. When Mr. Roosevelt was
president he set aside two-fifth of the
state as forest reserves, depriving the
Btate of $70,000 revenue paid In by
cattle raisers, for the use of the
land, and which had to be expended
on roads and schools, while the state
still has to pay for policing and pro
tecting these lands. When Roosevelt
went through the stale ho did not say
a word upon this vital question nor
upon tho tariff. President Taft has
re-opened to entry over GOO, 000
acres, nnd Is Investigating otlter
lands which may offer an opportun
ity for homeseekers to settle upon
them. Mr. Wilson when he went
through the state, told our people
that tho lands had to be set aside
for tho reason that the people were
trying to steal them. Naturally this
displeased a largo proportion of the
Colnrndo population, so that upon
the conservation question both Roose
velt and Wilson nro very unpopular,
while President Taft has done the
right and proper thing,
"In tho matter of tariff, wo are
concerned with lead, zinc and stock
ralidug. UoKcvelt said nothing about,
the tariff whllo In the state and Wil
son was conspicuously nUeut. Hu did
not in view of the democratic plat
form, promise that tho protection
which Is necesHary for our Indus
tries would bo preserved. On the
contrary, when Senator Burton vis
ited Denver, he gnvo a splendid edu
cational presumption of a proposi
tion that Is most vital to us, and
when be and Mr. Isaac M. Moekins,
who nccompanied him, had coneuld-
ed their speeches, the audience of 2,
tiOO peoplo cheered again nnd again, j
"These nro things which give us a'
most encouraging outlook In Colo-
EQUAL SUFFRAGE,
ill
Mrs. Kbrgott, of Portland, ,
and Mrs. Minnie Washburn, of :
Eugene, will address the citl-
zens of Hoseburg from auto- j
mobile at the corner of Oak and j
Jackson streets on Tuesday ev- i
enlng, October 22, at 8 o'clock. !
Subject, "Equal Suffrage'.. If !
weather Is unfavoarble will (

corn us, President Taft and tW6 re-

majority of the people of Colorado." !
U'KEX'S AMENDMENT.
Tho so-called "People' Power
League," consisting of W. S. U'Ren
and others, has submitted to the peo
ple of Oregon, the proposed amend
ment to the constitutor!, known on
the ballot as 302, 363, page 209 of
the voters' pamphlet.
This is the most drastic measure
over submitted to the people of Ore
gon. If adopted, It would complete
ly revolutionize our present form of
government. It Is dangerous In the
extreme. It represents only one of
the many visionary schemes of a set
of crack-br. '.. theorists, the cham
pions of single tax.
I am opposed to this bill for the
following reasons:
1. It abolishes the state senate.
2. It provides for proportional
representation. Each elector votes for
one representative, who may be a
resident of any part of the state. The
bill follows the rule In the law re
quiring the election of delegates to
the national conventions. We had a
lesson on how it works at the last
primary election. Thore were ten
delegates to elect and we voted for
one.
3. Each representative In the
stato legislature shall cast as many
votes for or agalnsj any measure, as
ho received votes In the election. A
bungtesome method.
4. The governor Is made, ex
officio, a member of the legislature.
5. The leading candidate for gov
ernor of each party Is made a mem
ber of the legislature.
6. Only the governor shall have
the right to introduce bills appropri
ating public money. Other members
are denied this right.
7. The governor shall not have
the right to veto any bill passed by
the legislature,
8. Legislative sessions shall be
held annually, nnd the length of the
session is not limited.
There are many other reasons why
this amendment should not be adopt
ed. The whole measure Is a crud:
experiment, and tho public good de
mands that It be defeated. Read the
negative argument on this measure, j
page 223, voters' pamphlet.
Do not fall to vote NO. If you do
not vote' on It at all, under our pres
ent" law ft means you favor the bill.
Vote, 363 X NO.

The Best Ranges and Stoves On The MarKet Is The
fridge And Beach "Superior" Line
We make the asserti jn without fear of successful contra
diction. Now don't shake your head, for we mean it.
Twenty years experience selling them does not go for noth
ing, and where others say "ours are just as good," we say
"ours are the best."
Bridge and Beach Manfg. Co., is one of the oldest stove
manufacturing concerns in all thcland. Theireudeavor has
always been to make nothing but the best. "Quality" their
motto, and satisfied users their aim, has resulted in making
their goods the Criterion for other manufacturers.
Nothing but the very best blend of pig iron is allowed to
enter into their construction, and each batch must stand a
labratory test, to determine its quality before it is allowed to
go to the cupilo for smelting.
Only experienced labor is allowed in the casting and vari
ous processes of making, so why should not a finely finished
product be the result.
Their confidence in their goods is such, that a 15 years
guarantee on all fire backs, goes with every wood burner, and
a ten-year guarantee with coal burners.
As an extra inducement to you to replace your old stove
with a new.ip-to-date one, we are offering a Bonus of 50,000
Automobile votes with eacl Steel Range, and 20,000 with
each cast cook or heating stove. Remember these are in ad-
dition to the regular votes that you would be entitled to.
What we have said relative to the Ranges will apply as
well to the quality of JJa,e Heaters we sell.
Come in and look our stoves ove"r. Examine the Triplex
grate, an exclusive feature. -
Remember the 50,000 bonus, if not of use to you, they will
be to your friends.
