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

cause of his efficiency as an official, or
for the reason that he gives to them
all the patronage of his office? Warum?

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.

THE candidate who is gaining fast
every day, as much so if not more
than any other, is Joe Kader. He has

genial and upright, making friends

He
will never know that he started in the

given a fair trial in the position he seeks
and found wanting.
T he Republicans must have been ex

when they put Gus Newbury and H.

he will be repudiated by his own
