ROBERT S. COE, of Canby Precinct. AN HONEST OFFICIAL. Enos Cahill, Farmer and Veteran, Is a Candidate for Commissioner. Honesty Is a primary requisite in the office of County Commissioner, and there is no man in Clackamas County better fitted for that position than Enos Cahill, of New Era Pre cinct. Mr. Cahill is a veteran of the Civil War, where he fought to save the Union, and he takes a deep inter est in all public affairs. He was four years treasurer of Clackamas Coun ty and In that capacity be discharg ed the duties of the office so well that the people of Clackamas have no doubt of his ability and familiarity with county affairs.

Firs, you say,' being an undertaker, be rim conduct the office at less ex pense to the tax payers, and you give as an Illustration thv cases that are paid for by the County. Now tho County pays Just so much for tho bur ial of a County case nnd no more and allows by law a certain stipulated foe for tho Coroners services so there can not bo any saving to tho County along that line, regardless, of who the coroner Is. Hut there can bo a saving of from 5 to 20 per cent to (ho ltult vldunl who tuny bo so unfortunate as to call a coroner, If the office of cor oner Is belli by one not an uuudertak or, this leaving them free to call the undertaker who has tho exclusive and prior right to handle their dead, as Is usually done. You say Multnomah and Marlon counties have undertaker .coroners, but you neglect to say that since the recent troubles In Portland over the Kx Radium Institute and Its Illegal practices, that that same undertaker Is not a candidate for re-election, and It will be ninny a long day before an other undertaker will bold the olllco of coroner In Multnomah county. The people have become allvo to tho fact that n doctor should hold this very responsible olllco, for tho boat Interests of the city, county and all concerned. The coroner Is called to all cases In question, If he Is not a physician how can he Intelligently tell tho cause of deaths. He can gtiesH at It and that Is all; if you Insist on knowing, ho will call In a physician and the conn ty pays the extra expenso of $10 on each esse. Why not have a physician at first and save all this neodless expenso to tho taxpayers. It seems to mo that a physician should bo elected In every Instance whether It Is mysejf or some other physician Taxpayers, it Is up to you to decide the matter and you havo tho chance at this primary.
