AN NOUNC E At ENT.
I slinll be nn iNUiti'KNnitNT Cnn
didntc for the office of City Attor
nev for St. Johns, Oregon, for the
ciisttinjr term. My platform slinll
be "Strict adherence to my oath of
office, If elected." Absolutely no
other pledge to any person or party.
If any man snys differently, demand
his proof. Geo. J. Perkins, Alt' y.
Since it is more than probable
that the liquor question will be nn
issue at the April election, we desire
to state our position in the mnttcr.
The Review will fnvor neither one
side or the other. Anything we
might say in favor of one side or
the other should have little or no
weight nnywny, because a "man Is
not a man" who docs not know
how he should vote on this ques
tion, and if he can be swayed to
either one side or the other by whnt
the editor might say, he is not fit to
vote. It is a question that all arc
familiar with, and it is ns old as
the hills. No new light can be
brought out, apparently. It is for
the people to decide whether a dry
town or a wet one is best, whether
conditions arc better in n wet town
or in a dry one. We have nil hnd
experience in both during the past
couple of yenrs, and you should
judge for yourselves. The Review
will take the "middle of the road"
on the issue. Not because we fear
to take sides, but because it would
be poor policy, poor judgment and
of 110 avail to do so. If cither side
desires to air their views in the
Review they may do so at our regu
lar advertising rates, but our edi
torial column will surely not be
used in advocating cither one side
or the other. 0
If those large employers of labor
who gniu a reputation for gener
osity by giving a comparatively
small amount of their Immense
profits to charity would only put
more money in the pny envelopes
of their employees, how much bet
ter it would be all round.

some little time to come, The
reason game is getting so scarce in
