IT MEANS A LANDSLIDE.
There is no gainsaying the fuct that ilie republican lead
crs in New. York, Ohio and Jndianu are panic-stricken,
and are making frantic efforts to stem the wave of scnti
nient upon the crest of which Williain Jennings Bryan is
fast being carried into the presidency. Bryan continues
to grow stronger every day and there is now every reason
to predict lu3 election. 1
The reasons are multifold for this, but chief among
them is the demand on the part of organized labor for
simple justice, and that demand has been insultingly
spurned at the hands of the republican party, although
the demand only embodied a request for a modification
of the practice of the federal courts that will permit organ
ized labor to carry out its true aims and purposes without
being haled into court, fined and imprisoned without even
the' right of a trial by jury, when only the national rights
of peaceable assembly, freedom of speech and of the leave
work or to patronize whom they wish are involved. And
the fact that the democratic party has taken a courageous
position against the abuse of injunctions justly entitles
it to receive the solid support of organized labor.
A second pertinent reason for the sentiment in Bryan's
favor is that the time has arrived when something besides
arsenic, bones, dandelions, the balm of Gilead and ice is
placed upon the free list. A reform of the tariff is demand
ed everywhere, and what can be expected at the hands of
the republican party, whose every revision in the tariff has
been made at the instance of American trusts, and in each
instance has been raised. Virtually all products of iron,
steel and tin are today sold from 20 to 40 per cent cheaper
ill foreign countries than in the United States, where they
are made, a state of affairs that must be changed.
The republican party has come forward with an argu
ment which when boiled down is to the effect that the grand
old party makes prosperity, but that Clod makes hard times.
The recent industrial depression and resulting panic are
militating strongly against the republicans. A million are
out of work, and of those 000,000 are voters. Will the re
publican painted picture of a cozy home and a full dinner
pail suffice to induce these voters to' change their mind t
There are other reasons as pertinent, such as the bank
guaranty law, election of United States senators by popu
ior vote, TalVs personal weakness, Boosevelt's interfer
ence, dissension in republican ranks, lack of an enormous
corruption fund and above all the tremendous personal
popularity of the Commoner.

Medford itt now groin ng faster than
ever knowu in its history. Mora than
100 residences arc now in con rat of
erection and many biiHinettH blocks arc
now lining erected.
There ih not a vueant limine or tttore
room in .town, and the deiuuud for both
increasing daily.
- Medford 'h rapid growth in due largely
lo the miorntouH acreage of fruit com
ng into hearing nnd the thouHandH of
aereR being planted each year.
The future growth of Met! ford do
m'iidn largely upon the product Irenes
)( thfHO thousaiulK of acres of orchards
-iiirroundiug.
A failure in tho fruit crop, or fveii
i nhortage, will eaii8 widttHpread de
iresfdoii not only with the orchard men
but with the huHiiicHft men of Medford
whose prosperity in dependent upon tin
iroduutH of tho orchard.
What in needed to insure magnificent
rops of fruit, of good uie, flavur, jual
tv and quantity?
The aiiHwer iti given by hundreds of
fruitgrower!! WATKIt.
How is this water going to be sup
died most economically and when! it is
needod T
Owing to the. different elevations of
'.ho laud and foothills surrounding Med
ford, there is only one practical and
fcouomieal way of supplying this water
ui.l that is bv 1TMP1NO.
Owinff to the enormous amount of
WATKIt needed for irrigation, there is
my one source of supply that is large
enough to supply the demand in the
country surrounding Medford, and that
tho HOIU'K lil VKR.
Gravity Ditched.
(iravitv ditches cannot cover nil of
ihesn orchards.
Kind Itecause it is impossible, off
:ng to the different elevations.
Second lieeniiHO no ditch company
lias sufficient water.
The Condor Water & Tower company
an irrigate all thesn orchard.
First Because it is possible to pump
water to any elevation ueedd.
Second Because it has plenty of wn
ir to irrigate with the whole Rogue
river.
Third The Condor Water & Vow
'oiupanv rates will bn cheaper than
my ditch company.
Opportunity.
The city of Medford has an opportu
nit y seldom offered, a chance to get
water, pure water, in larger quantity
ind cheaper than any other proposition.
You have only to build a ten-mile
nipetino tn Itogue river.
For a cravilv svstein vou have to
build n line over twice as long.
The Condor pipeline will cover thou
muds of acres between Medford and
Gold Ifny nnd the land owners will not
hare to pay $20 per acre tn get it.
The water rates of tho Condor coin
pany will be less than any ditch com
pany.
Bear in mind, the prosperity of Med
ford depends on tlie orchards.
Careful, Berious, conscicntioiis inves
tigation of the Condor Water it Bower
company proposition will prove that it
is better for the people oi Medford and
the surrounding country than miv other
proposition.

To the I'M it or: The reason for imt
signing my former communication was
that I am only one of the common peo
ple, and not accustomed to expressing
my o tin ion in public. Although at
present living outside the city limits, 1
pay city taxes.
I would like to be shown how the
!:ino,oo0 bond issue will help nie. We
have spent nearly $100,000 already, and
what lias the common people got out
uf it f Not evena job deyging th
il ii 1 the pipes extend
blocks from the i
lion.
We can afford to pay a little extra,
f necessary, to maintain a flume, if we
get plenty of work.
What is the good of the Commercial
lub spending thousands to bring pen
pie here if when they get hero they
find thev cannot get work? Thev go
tway and give the town n black eye.
If "the knockers will give us more
i act ones, etc., and fewer interviews.
thev will be more benefit to the town.

There ih not space here to tell it all. It is a long story of how you are
4- wronged. On thousands of other an iclcs you nro similarly discrimiuutod
against. Tho tariff, now tho highest ever known, enables tho trusts to
4 roh you by charging you much higher prices for their jroodB than they
4- charge the foreigner. The trusts are determined tu keep the tariff from
being reducod. .Mr. Tuft says: "Some of the duties should bo increased."
The prices above aro taken from the official price list of tho American
4- manufacturers.
4- Why voto money out of your own pocket, nnd into the poekets of the
trusts by continually voting for a high tariff candidate t Is it not time
for you to vote for yourselves, your family and your hornet What chance

signs of this character about Medford. We
always find a desirable tenant before a good,
building has been "to let" more than 24
hours, and land owners know we can always
find a purchaser if a reasonable valuation is
put on property. Consequently Medford
does not impress the homeseeker as being
"under the hammer." This is as it should
be.
This is the season of the year when home
seekers want winter accommodations. Use
