REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
TE SENATOR
The man who defeated County Division in 1917 and stands
squarely against it today.
County Division means higher taxes.
County Division means a duplication of officers, a duplication
of salaries and court houses.
County Division is sought by a few men in Estacada who want
public office and have never been able to get it, and had they been
elected two years ago you would never have heard anything
about County Division.
County Division is a live and vital issue today.
The scheme is that if the men. who voted for County Division in the last
Legislature, are renominated and elected; then it will be an expression of sentiment
in Clackamas County for division, and the same program for division had at the
last Legislature will be re-enacted at the coming session.
Mr. Dimick's opponent in this election voted for County Division in the
last Legislature.
The people of Clackamas County voted against it three to one, a few years
back.
Mr. Dimick stands on his record and makes no excuses because he is a
candidate.
Remember on May 17th, the only way to decisively defeat County Division'
is to register your protest against it; vote for Dimick and thereby defeat County
Division; no eleventh hour conversion; no back firing; no camouflage; no swallow
ing of one's record.
