DIXON Editor Canby Tribune .,:; .Jf , , . i ' Republican Candidate for Representative CHAMPION OF STATEMENT t (I take the pledge No ifs nor ands) Certain candidates who see defeat staring them in the face are trying to injure Mr. Dixon by unfair methods. There are two kinds of ambition: The ambition that prompts a man to elevate himself by tearing down an other, and the ambition that prompts a man to elevate himself by elevating the common plane upon which he and his neighbor both live, A man of this type seeks to injure no one. He seeks to-uplift. This is Mr. Dixon's policy, and his character is above re proach. But let the people of Clack amas county decide which type of man they prefer the man who stands firm ly by the principles of right the man who protects the rights of the people when enemies are trying to destroy those rights, or the man who having been forced to follow Dixon's leader ship, seeks to ride Into office on his platform. Give your answer at the ballot box. Will support peoples' choice for U. S. Senator; Will Introduce a law guaranteeing the peoples' money de posited in banks, by providing an in surance fund in the state treasury, protecting our money the same as we have protection against loss of our property by fire. Mr. Dixon is the leader of the fight against the single taxers, who are trying to exempt the millionaire manufacturers from tax ation, thus throwing the burden upon farmers and land owners. If this law should go into effect the farmers and land owners of Clackamas county would have to pay over $58,000 more taxes next year than they are now paying. If nominated, Mr. Dixon will devote his time until June writing and speaking against this unjust measure. He will introduce a law allowing each road district to elect Its own super visor. He will advocate better roads, better schools, and a square deal for every man, whether he be rich or poor. , Vote as your conscience dictates.
