Tuesday's election was a Waterloo for the prohibition
ists. It decisively settled t lie liquor question for Medford
; and shows that the cjlixcn.s want oininon-sense rule by
business men rather than rule and ruin by fVnatical agi
"tators and sentimentalisls. ;
i' Tlio election ni(;ans fchiil'there will be no lalt in Med
ium's march of progress. It means' that Medford will
continue to grow and expand into a city, it means that
Medford 'k people kuow a good thing when they set; it and
i want to keep a'gijod thing when they have it.
. . In its charter- 'Medford lias an asset that is worth bun
Vdreds of .thousands of dollars to it. The city is in pos
session f rights Hiat cities like t'hieago are spending for-
tunes to secure. Tlio charter is .Medtord's greatest adver
tisement, and it; would be the height of assininity to voto
away the niestiniable jnivilege ol home rule.
In the new mayor and the new council, Medford prob
ably lias the. best qualified set of public of Ci. iala in her
history. They are all business men, familiar with public
work, qualified by ripened experience to manage and ad
minister municipal affairs.
The animosities and enmities engendered by the long-'drawH-out
campaign for prohibition should be forgotten,
ana all pull together tor the gol of Medford. The people
have settled the question in no uncertain manner. The tur
moil of agitation and constant st iri-ing-up of strife by
itinerant and home agitators should cease.' Those who
insist upon continuing it should frowned upo.i. There is
plenty of field for the act ii.l.ies of those who would benefit
mankind in other lines than the creation of a political
Medford s future is brighter today than ever in her
' history. There is scarcely a cloud on the horizon of her
prosperity. She has brushed aside, the bogey man of pro
hibition and under a liberal government of business men
mistress of her own destinies, she offers the most inviting
field in the northwest to the liovueseoker and the business
man. .. ..

THE TRIBUNE VINDICATED.
Prohibition leaders and agitators and the Mail made the
Tribune the issue in the city campaign. No end of vit u
peration and abuse was heaped upon the paper and its
editor. The result, speaks for itself and cannot be viewed
other than as a popular vindication of the Tribune's posi
tion. It was a sweeping victory for the Tribune. Its entire
ticket from top to bottom was elected. Those measures it
advocated carried and those it fought were defeated. But
this result was obtained only because the paper stood for
the best interests of the city, I lie increased growth and con
tinued prosperity of Medford.
In the June election, the Tribune's ticket, was equally
successful.
UHOKH
Another Bliton victory.
The people don't want, a straddler.
Again 13 has proved a fateful number. Mr. Perry was
33 on the ballot.
The saloons will not control Medford, but 'Medford will
control the saloons.
It's a poor loser who cries fraud with a. majority of
127 to prove fraudulent.
Circulating scandalous stories of reputable men is a
poor way to make votes, as the Rev. Shields has probably
discovered.
Little effort was made to get voters out Tuesday, yet
92(5 votes were polled. Medford is growing so fast the drys
can't kcp tab.
The prohibition movement has passed its zenith and is
on the decline. People are coming to their senses, tired of
the constant agitation.
This paper stands IV r the best interests of Medford, for
its commercial prosperity. It tells the truth about prohi
bition and its workings, despite boycotts by advertisers, as
no paper in Oregon dares to. If other newspapers would
show what prohibition has meant to other cities as the
Tribune has, there would be no prohibition question.
Talk of colonization of voters by wets is The only
organized campaign was that of the prohibitionists. The!
otily practical polities indulged in was by foeni. I hey
alone made a poll of the city. They alone had challengers
at the polls. Thev alone had public meetings anil speakers
The only effort made against prohibition was the Trib-I
line's fearless fight. Had the wets been organized then
"The Morning Mail would dislike very ni.tch to see a
mistake made in the election of a municipal ticket. No mis
take will be made if the men whose names are at the head of
the editorial column of this paper are elected. The Morn
ing Mail knows these gentlemen personally and we know
them to be square, honest men. The Morning Mail has
never advised its readers wrongfully with regard to city
affairs. Will you not trust to our judgment once again?"
Morning Mail.
It was too bad. after a touching heart appeal like this,
that the people should show their trust in the Mail so em
phatically, but "whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth."
