THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Edited by the Democratic County
Committee.
WHO TO VOTE FOB
MONDAY, JUNE 1
In the select io a of county officials,
the voter should consider the qualifica
tions of the caudiduto and uot his po
litical opinions, any more than his reli
gious beliefs. ..If vou wish to employ
a bookkeeper you would only consider
the eapabilitv of the applicant and
would totally disregard his politics.
The county officers have nothing to o
with the settlement of the questions of
national importance that divide the
people into opposing parties, and when
considering candidates for a local of
fice tho voter should ask hut the ques
tions. Is ho qualified to discharge the
duties of the officef Is he honest, in
dustrious, accommodating?
BABNES WILL MAKE
A MODEL OFFICIAL
Nearly everybody knows A. 8.
Barnes, candidate for County Clerk. Ho
is as genial and popular as when he
filled the office of Sheriff of Jackson
county so well several years ngo, to
which ho was. elected by an overwhelm'
ing majority. Mr. Barnes made one of
the best officers the county ever had
and would bo a model county clerk, for
he is competent and looks nfter the
people s interests very closely.

CHAMBERLAIN FOB PEOPLE
CAKE FOR COBPORATIONS
It is not at all surprising that Mr.
Harriman is doing what he can iu Or
egon to defeat Governor Chamberlain in
his senatorial race. Chamberlain would
never be n "railroad senator," as some
are. Hnrrimnn has two senators from
California, and ho would liko to have
moro from this coast. But if he can
not get an nbsolute "railroad sena
tor' the next best thing is to defent
a man who on all occasions stands con
spicuously for the people as against
the railroads when their interests are
at stake. On the other hnnd, Mr. Cake
is the attorney for the Standard Oil
company nnd other corporations.
WILBUR JONES' BOOKS
WILL NOT NEED EXPERTINO
One of tho very best nomination
made this year is that of Wilbur Jones
for Sheriff. Tie is a successful farmer
and a splendid business man, against
whom nothing can be said. Ho served
tho people onco as county assessor and
gavo entire satisfaction. There is no
doubt of Mr. Jones' election, for near
ly everybody seems to bo in his favor.
Ho lias the stuff in him for a first
class sheriff.
THERE SHOULD BE A CHANGE
IN COUNTY JUDGE'S OFFICE
The people of Jackson county will
make no mistuke in electing Jnines R.
Neil as County Judge. lie ably filled
the -place two terms a number of years
ago, to the great satisfaction of his
constituents. He was ever "mindful of
the tnxpnyors' interests, nnd although
the tnxrol'l wns less Minn $4,000,000 in
extent, taxes were very low and tho af
fairs of the county were never handled
better or more satisfactorily. He is
pledged to reasonable taxation, good
roads and bridges and the exporting of
the books.

THE COUNTY ASSESSOR CANNOT
BE TOO WELL QUALIFIED
IF COUNTY BOOKS ARE RIGHT,
WHY FEAR EXPERTING THEM?
It seems very strange that if the
county books nre nil right. Judge Dunn
and his colleagues have not had them
experted, although the pcoplo in gen
eral nro loudly clamoring for this to
bo done. It seems that the. rent truth
will only be known when the courthouse
m is cleaned out nnd n new set, of offi
cials elected.
JACKSON COUNTY IS
FOR STATEMENT NO.
"Statement No. 1 is dead,' say ma
chine politicians. It will bo, they
mean, if all the nominees of the pri
maries are elected to the legislature, so
that there will not be a majority of
Statement Xo. I members in that body.
But we think that voters in Jackson,
JoROphine, Douglas, Washington, Yam
hill, Wasco, Sherman nnd other conn
ties will see to it that Statement No.
1 is kept very much alivo until the
people make sure that they have gained
their object election of senators by
popular vote. Vote for P. II. Miller.
M. Purdin and F. E. Cavender, all of
whom nre pledged to this great principle.
THE PROPER MEN TO SEND
TO THE LEGISLATURE
M. Purdin nnd I. IT. Miller, nominees
for representative, nnd F. E. Cavender,
candidate for joint representative, nre
the men whom Jackson county should
Bend to tho legislature. They are all
pledged to uphold the principles of
Statement No. 1, while none of their
opponents is. Besides, they nre well
known, reliable citizens, who will con
serve tho inn-rests f their const it u
ents faithfully.

reasonable, unwarranted nseosuun1
that ci.v.iod the taxpayers to be bled

the native ions of Jakon County. He
U ft Btmber of one of the most iue-
Thero is none iu tho whole of South
ern Oregon who would make a better
County Assessor than Robert B. Dow.
He has all tho qualifications for this
important office and he enn.be relied
upon to give the taxpayers an accurate
and just assessment, fair to everybody
and not such a monstrosity as the
Hoard of Equalization, composed of
Judgo Dunn, Clerk Coleman and As
sessor Applegate. has foisted on us. Mr.
Dow is a man of his own mind and
none will get any advantage from him.
The people nre determined this time
to have officers who will give them rea
sonable taxes, good roads and bridges
and efficient service in every department.
Down with rings!
Expert the books!!
Reduce taxation!!!
Ituild good roads and bridges!!!!
HE IS NOT A RINGSTER,
BUT FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE
Martin Marshall, candidate for coun
ty 'Commissioner, is a successful far
mer and dairyman who has lived near
Central Point for a number of years.
He is a thoroughly practical man, up
right and energetic, and will make just
such nn officer as the people want. Be
sides, he is not a member of the court
house or any other ring; therefore his
services will ho in the interest of all
of the taxpayers.
A POPULAR YOUNG MAN
NAMED FOR COUNTY RECORDER
J. C. Mastersoii, one of the leading
business men of Gold Hill, has been pre
vailed upon to become a candidate for
County lircorder. He combines all the
qualifications that go to make a splen

have occasion to regret his elect ion.

he is best known nnd he could muster
