It is really amusing to witness
the attempt of, the Hutihea man
agers to get the German-Ameri
can vote ty telling them that
Wilson was too severe when ai
th.' same time Hughes says that
Wilson is too weak in his foreign
policy, and Theodore Roosevelt,
supporting Hughes, intimates in
almost every speech that we
should have taken a position that
meant war with Germany. And,
as well every thoughtful man
knows that Wall Street, behind
Hughes, wants us to war against
Germany, in more ways than
one.

Betting has dropped from 2 to
1 and is now 10 to 8 against Wil
son. This means that the Wilson
slide is becoming aggravated in
every state in the union.
II G. Scott, of Shed wood, writes
the Argus that he is ready t
debate with any place in thr
county, provided the acceptor
will give him a return date nt

will handle the debate on what
has been accomplished by the
Wilson administration, and prom
ises the audience an interesting
session. Walter Too.e Jr. hai
declined to meet Mr. boott, after
the two had a littla tilt in the

A CARD
To the editor: We wish to call
attention to the importance of
the office of county assessor.
There are two candidates seek
ing this position to be voted for
at this election. We consider
this one of the most important
offices of the county. We do not
know anything about the com
petency of one ot the candidates
in as much as he is practically a
new man in the county, but the
other candidate has been known
to us personally for the past 25
years. Mr. Hedge was in busi
ness in Beaverton for about 15
years, and for the past 6 years
has been acting as deputy as
sessor in the vicinity of the
southeast portion, of the county.
We are free to say that he has
been an efficient deputy, and
therefore w know him to possess
the necessary experience and
ability to discharge the duties of
the assessor s office. We as tax
payers regard this question as
purely a business one; our taxes
must be paid, but the essential
thing is an equitable distribution
of this necessary burden.
Therefore, we feel that it is
o'Jr duty as tax payers and in
terested in the best administra
tion of this office regardless of
politics to urge the voters of
thi3 county to select the man we
know to be competent; we have
transacted business with him for
many years and found him capa
ble, honest and reliable; he has
been a tax payer in Washington
County for 15 years, while the
name of his opponent does not
appear upon the tax roll prior to
March 1. 1916.
Signed Ferd Groner,
F. E. Rowell.
We desire to extend mir sineire
thanks to all who so kindly is
aisled us and tender.-. 1 aid ami
sympathy during our l.nv.-iw-ment.
