DEPUTIES FOR
ELECTION D
ASHAMED OP THEIR CAUSE.
SHERIFF GAGE APPOINTS THREE
ASSISTANTS FOR THE MARSH
IIELI) AND NOUTH BEND PRECINCTS.
Sheriff Gage has appointed the fol
lowing Deputy Sheriffs who will bo on
hand at their respective precincts on
Election Day.
North Dend Chas. Kaiser.
North Marshfleld S. R. Beloate.
South Marshfleld O. O. Lund.
ARE SALOONS A BENEFIT TO A
TOWN FINANCIALLY?
If they are then Marshfleld with
its 13 saloons should bo In a fine
financial condition, with paved
streets, municipal water works and
electric lights, city parks, city docks,
raodorn sewer system and everything
that goes to make up a modern city,
with city warrants at a premium.
What are the facts?
According to tho report of Expert
Squires she is In an alarming condi
tion. With a city charter that allows an
Indebtedness of but $25,000 she is
in debt to the amount of $43,000 and
going still further In debt.
Not a bank In the county will cash
tho Marshfleld city warrants at par.
There is not a single foot of paved
streets.
Not a single one of tho above
necessary improvements.
Worse than all, the city is running
In debt to the extent of several thou
sand dollars annually; and the city
council is considering the advisability
of asking the people to allow them
to incur a bonded indebtedness of
$50,000.
What do you think that
for a "wet" tewn?
Compare the above with the city of
Eugene a dry town for two years,
which fs in a most prosperous condi
lon as shown by tho statement of
Mayor Matlock.
Tho saloon interests do not dare
to hire a. hall and publicly discuss
their nefarious business.
4&
Nor will they join in a debate with
those advocating Prohibition.
They prefer hiring the poor vic
tims of their accursed business who
still have a remnant of once brilliant
intellects left, to exploit their cause
through tho press.
Is there a single line of their lite
rature that bears the imprint of
truth?
Do you believe that the saloons
wero responsible for the conviction
of Wilcox?
Show them by your vote.
DEFY THE LAW.
Tho saloonmen say they will sell
more liquor after the county declares
for Prohibition than they do now.
Will you vote to uphold a class
who openly proclaim they are strong
er than the law.
SALOONS AS AN INDUSTRY.
While our lumber coal, dairy and
fruit Industries are bringing money
Into tho county, the liquor business
does not bring In one dollar, but
sends out thousands .every month to
pay tho wholesale liquor dealers, who
are fighting Prohibition " in Coos
county.
HAVE MERCY ON THE SALOON-
MAN.
By voting for Prohibition and give
him a chance to earn an honorable
living. Many of them would become
good citizens if given half a chance.
MARSHFIELD "DRY" BY 200
COUNTY BY 500.
A careful canvass of the list of
registered voters assures a majority
for Prohibition in Marshfleld of 200
and In tho county of 500.
Do not worry about Marshfleld.

SHERIFF GAGE HAS APPOINTED A DEPUTY' SHERIFF FOR
EACH OF THE LARGER PRECINCTS WHO WILL HE PRESENT ON
ELECTION DAY' FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMMEDIATELY ARRESTING
ANY ONE GUILTY' OF VIOLATING THE ELECTION LAWS.

ar-
Every voter, regardless of politics,
who believes that our laws should be
enforced against the rich as well as
the poor criminal should voto for
W. W. Gage for sheriff.
He has been tried and only the
crlmlnnl element of his party Is try
ing to defeat him for re-election.

LAW AND ORDER.
Without an effective organization
of law abiding citizens to see that all
violators of the law are punished it
might bo possible for the saloonmen
to openly defy tho law by selling
liquor to minors and conducting
gambling and other dens of vice, but
with the present organization of
business men bound together for
the purpose of enforcing the laws, it
will bo a losing fight for them, and
in a short time they must submit.
Let your vote nld tho cnusc of
good government.
COMMERCIAL INTERESTS ARE IN
CO.MPLETE CONTROL OF THE
PROHHJITION FORCES IN COOS
COUNTY'.
Dr. J. T. McCormac,
Marshfleld, Oregon.
Local option law applies to all
parts of Coos county alike and if
county goes dry of course Marsh
fleld' saloons will be closed.
GEORGE M. BROWN.
LICENSE AND CRIME.
$1.00 to $11.00.
For every dollar tho state of Ore
gon receives from saloon licenses it
pays out over eleven dollars in the
prosecution and punishment of
crimes caused by liquor.
Cities receive tho license fee and
the counties pay the bills.
Farmers where to you get off?
What good will Prohibition do
Coos county, If we elect gamblers
and saloonmen to execute our laws?
Remember this when you vote.
The present campaign for Prohi
bition In Coos county Is backed and
managed entirely by business men
who have decided that the rulo o
vlco and crlmo of all kinds should
end in this county.
LINE UP.
You must vote either with tho
gamblers, saloon men and BAAVDY
HOUSE KEEPERS or against them.
Where do you stand?
MARSHFIELD
WILL BE DRY
Prosecuting Attorney Geo. M.
Brown Says Law Is Plain
On Question.
Owing to the reports having been
placed in circulation that the Marsh
fleld saloons' would, under the
amendment to the charter recently
secured, be independent of the coun
ty and able to keep open even if
Coos county goes dry, official refuta
tion of the claim was secured today.
Marshfleld saloons must abide by the
samo law that governs every othor
city in Coos county, according to Goo.
M. Brown, prosecuting attorney for
this district. The following tele
gram is self explanatory:
Roseburg, Or., May 2G, 1908.
