"Education." The speaker made two

to have the affirmative also present
ed. Consequently, Mr. Coulter, of
Portland, led the discussion. In a
fluent, forceful talk he presented his
argument, holding the close attention
of the audience.
Mr. Dixon's presentation was a
calm, clear statement of his views

position.

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.
Whether the wind is north or south,
the weather is generally cold and we
