It breeds an office-holders’ ring, and is objectionable in every way. W henever you vote for John S. Orth you are not casting your ballot lor the railroad candidate for county clerk. He will treat all alike, with­ out tear or favor. D on ' t forget to vote for the 'in­ itiative and referendum amendment. It is what the people need and want. It will be found at the bottom of the official ballot. Put a cross in the right place. _____________ T he Democratic ticket is one of the very best ever nominated, and enlists the hearty support of its partisans, while challenging the admiration and respect of even its opponents. Every­ thing points to its election. T he third-term idea is repugnant to a large majority of the voters, and they will register their disapproval of it in unmistakable terms next Monday. Four years of office-holding is enough f&r anybody. W hy are the Medford Mail and Ashland Tidings using so much space in behalf of Sheriff Orme? Is it be­ cause of his efficiency as an official, or for the reason that he gives to them all the patronage of his office? Warum? D emocrats , don’t swap. The stories being spread by Republican strikers that certain candidates on the Democratic ticket are trading off others for votes for themselves are false and uttered with malicious intent. H orace M ann , candidate for joint representative, is far and away ahead of his opponent in the qualifications that go to make a good legislator. He has ability, pugnacity and in­ tegrity, first-class characteristics in anyone THE candidate who is gaining fast every day, as much so if not more than any other, is Joe Kader. He has ail the requisites of a first-class sheriff, being a man of good executive ability, genial and upright, making friends wherever he goes. W. A. C arter , Republican candi­ date for representative, to use a sport­ ing phrase, is left at the post. He will never know that he started in the race. Mr. Carter has already been given a fair trial in the position he seeks and found wanting. T he Republicans must have been ex­ ceedingly short on oratorical timber when they put Gus Newbury and H. V. Gates on the stump in Jackson county. One is the quintessence of mis­ representation and impertinent assur­ ance, while the latter's strong point is vulgarity. _____________ I f the people of Jackson county wish to be ably and conscientiously represented in the legislature, they will elect Neil, Mann, O1 well and Can­ trail. They have the ability and solicitude for the interests of their constituents to work and vote right on all questions. E. V. C arter , Republican candidate for state senator, is makings desperate attempt to secure his election. That he will be repudiated by his own neighbors is now a certainty. Hun­ dreds of Republicans, who are dis­ gusted with his record of duplicity and selfishness, will vote against him. Mr. Carter is not a proper man for the people to put in so important a position.
