H iram U. Welch, wh is aeelifngr
the republican nomination for
county for.
sideration of the voters lies in the
fact that he has served for niany
years as an employe in the county
assessor's office, being a veteran in
valuation work. His campaign slo
gan is, "Long experience in the as
sessor's office a sure guarantee of
efficient service."
Service Practically Continuon.
Mr. Welch entered the assessor's
offiee as a deputy on March 1 1S99.
Since that time he has served there
continuously, except for six months
in the county auditor's office to fill
an unexpired term and for the period
demanded by national guard duties
and the late war. He has held ap
pointments under Assessors Greenleaf,
McDonell. Sigler and Heed.
The year 1881 is the date when Mr.
.Welch became a resident of Oregon,
having come west that year with his
parents from Grundy county, Illinois,
where lie was born in 1870. The fam
ily settled in Lebanon, and he re
ceived his education at the public
schools there and at Willamette uni
verfiity. He became a Portlander in
1890. moving here and engaging in the
machinery business.
The major lias been actively inter
ested In military affairs for 26 years,
having enlisted as a private in bat
tery A, Oregon national guard, on
January 4. 1894. In the Spanish war
he served as a second lieutenant with
this organization, and following the
return home he reorganized the bat
tery and was elected captain, a posi
tion which he held until his" resigna
tion in 1915.
Military Record Intensive.
After his resignation from the bat
tery he was appointed by the late
Governor Withycombe as major in the
inspector-general's department, and
"was called into active service during
the Mexican border trouble. When
this coxinlry entered the war. Major
"Welch tendered his services, although
lie was three years past the age limit
of 45. He was appointed captain of
field artillery and served at Camp
Jackson and Camp Taylor. Later he
was made a major and was in com
mand of a regiment awaiting orders
overseas when the armistice was
signed. Since his return home he has
resumed his connection with the na
tional guard as major in the inspector-general's
department.
The planks in his platform call for
the "practice of the fullest economy
consistent with efficient service," and
'management of the office and its
responsibilities so as to merit the
confidence and esteem of the public."

"I found exactly the right medi
cine for my case when I began taking
Tanlac, for it has not only entirejy
relieved me of all my troubles, but I
have gained seventeen pounds .in
weight," declared Sam Clark, 1906
Fifth avenue. Seattle, Wash.
"For several years I had suffered
from stomach trouble. My appetite
was poor and I could not eat a single
thing without suffering from it after
ward. After every meal my food
would sour and ferment, causing me to
bloat up with gas, have a heavy, full
feeling and intense pains in the pit of
my stomach. There was always a bad
taste in my mouth. I had severe
headaches, and at times became so
dizzy I had to grab hold of something
or sit down to keep from falling. My
kidneys worried me a great deal, and
there were always intense pains in the
small of my back. Also every winter,
for I don't know how long. I had
rheumatism in my arms and shoulders
so bad I had great difficulty in doing
my work. I could never get a good
night's sleep, and always felt tired
and wornout.
"I got started on Tanlac while liv
ing in Polo, Mo., as my folks were
taking it and think there is nothing
in the world like it, and now I think
just as they do. I began picking up
right away, and when 1 moved to Se
attle I kept taking it until I had taken
six bottles in all, and today I can
truthfully say I feel as well as I ever
did in my life. I have a fine appetite,
eat just anything I want and never
have a particle of trouble afterward.
I never have a headache or get dizzy
any more, and the rheumatism has
left me entirely, going through the
past winter for the first time in years
without having the slightest sign of
it. I sleep well and that tired, worn
out feeling is all gone. In fact, I am
a well man in every respect. After
what Tanlac has done for me 1 can
not say enough for.it."
